Anime |OT| Winter 2019 - Stand with the Mob or Stand with your Friends
- Thread starter Printer Paper 8 X 11
- Start date
- Status
For stuff that hasn't been brought up yet, Sarazanmai airs in spring and 20th Century Electric Catalog smells like a summer or fall airing.
Fate/Grand Order: Camelot and Babylonia. Both consider to be the best two arcs of the game, and consider some of Nasu's best writing.
Date still pending, but Black Fox by studio 3Hz is also another anime to look out for. Both of their past original works were great, Flip Flappers and Princess Principal, and this could potentially be another hit.
i was all set to be mad but yeah those words are okay in terms of fanbase. on the production side anime is still impossible to make without being tied up in corporate interests though. i don't know how punk rock was like in the 60s-80s but i bet it was a little bit easier to get established without having to go through a label, though when you hit a certain size it was probably unavoidable (especially pre-streaming)
For once in my life I decided to watch more than one anime from the current season.
Kayagua Sama Love is War Episode 1
So I've heard a crap ton of praise for this show from here and other places and I was interested in seeing what was so great about it. And after finally watching it I can safely say that I was pretty underwhelmed. I didn't find it funny and was bored throughout the episode. I can't say there was much of anything that I liked from the episode. Granted I only watched the first episode but can't say I'm a fan. I'll give this the customary three episode watch before I decide to drop it or not.
Dororo Episode 1
Have yet another dad to add to the shitty anime/manga father list. And hot damn if that isn't the creepiest baby I've ever seen. And talk about dreary man I can't see this being a very wholesome show. The fight with the mud demon or whatever it was, was pretty good. Really liked the episode overall and I'm curious to see the progression of the main character as he gets more of his body back from killing the demons.

Smiles 07
There's some dissonance with watching so many slice-of-life scenes with a bunch of guys who bombed, invaded, and then looted a city. Then the Empire states that they'll continue to ramp up the war effort despite practically already winning with no talk about their apparently strained resources. I can't really feel sympathetic for them when their dude dies.

Most of it is just alternate realities. In terms of the main stuff:
1. Fate Zero (prequel story)
2a. Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works TV (Route B of main story)
2b. Fate Stay Night Heaven's Feel movies (Route C of the main story; 1st movie is out, 2nd is in theaters next month in the states, 3rd comes out next year)
Route A (just Fate Stay Night) was adapted like 10 years ago, but it's a shit adaption, so no one talks about it since it's fuses all 3 routes together into a mess.
The 3 different routes feature the same characters, but the focus is on a different heroine each time and diverge greatly from each other.
Any other Fate property you heard of (Apocrypha, Grand Order, Extra Encore) is spin off alternate reality stuff. YMWV with those. Feel free to check them out if you like the main series. Avoid Fate Prisma Illya like the plague though.
wow they really fucked up the distinction on that rock there, I thought Hestia had gained like 3 feet in height
No because the cards are where the money is, so we're never going away from them again unfortunately
I doubt it will be a reboot, as konami needs a new card archetype to make people buy new cards. Its gonna be a sequel series with little yugi as the protagonist.
Why. Feel theyd just announce yet another movie for its 20th anniversary year.
VRAINS still has 1 more yr to go, no way it ends sub 100 episodes.
How would a remake work? Everyone's decks would be remade to have access to link, pendulum, synchro, fusion shokan?!
They could do a reboot that reimagines the story complete with a new set of cards that are similar to the old ones but not the same
The 20th anniversary has long since passed.
The anime cut and changed a lot of stuff from the manga so a remake would be able to just do a straight adaptation.
I wouldn't bet on them doing a remake though unless it's something in addition to Vrains.
Dororo Episode 2
Lesson of the day is not to judge people by their appearance. Cause the beautiful one might just be a demon in disguise. This episode was pretty good and I rather liked the interactions between Hyakkimaru and Dororo even if it is kinda one sided. Will be interesting to see how the relationship between the two develop as Hyakkimaru gets more of his senses back. Also happy to see the blind man come back he's pretty cool and I hope that he sticks around. And I'm assuming Hyakkimaru got his nerves back at the end of the episode. Feel like this could limit him since he can't go all in like before since he can feel pain now, unless I'm wrong and he gained something else back this episode.

That's her movie design (yes there's a movie coming too).
She should have her S1 design for the second season.
Yozakura Quartet 07
Also that "Atsu" scene will never not rock.
Chuunibyo S2 10
Top4 greatest heartbreaks.
Rather a stark reminder that this is not just a webgen showcase but an endeavour that can quite capably deliver the characterisation or big moments of an increasingly interesting story. The whole premise of two dimensions and the "dutybound" tasked with sending the Youkai to the other one and moral implications of that is something that I find compelling, even more so with the big twist coming out of the woodwork.

Kaguya-sama 6
I was a little disappointed that the baseball team thing was subdued over the manga, where I remember Shirogane was the one who thought having enough kids to field a baseball team was a good idea rather than Fujiwara. It added to the little volume extra they threw into the episode at the end there.
OUR GUY Ishigami is finally here, though he doesn't really hit his stride until probably after this season is over. The author has said in interviews he likes to introduce a character and then shake them up after 20~ chapters so Ishigami's bit won't change much this season I think.

"Provides refuge to weirdos and deviants"
Considering what DTL posts in the MHA thread I can believe this.
Shield Hero Episode 2 & 3 EngDub
Such an underappreciated hero, crying. Im glad he got the favor from the villagers and raphtalia continues to be different than a vast majority of the other characters in her role in other series. I guess simillar to guilty crown and beatless, its great when the fem lead char is the one scoring the kills for the, often, dope lead mc.

I like that Ishigami guy, he's too funny to miscomprehension his Stockhelm's Syndrome in his daily's life. After that, this episode was okay.

Excellent. A bunch of the jokes seem fairly mediocre but the execution is so strong that its almost all great anyway. I can't stress enough how much variety there is in the storyboarding. It just keeps it visually interesting throughout.
If I were to nitpick, though, I'd mention that it feels inconsistent that obvious signs of affection, most frequently towards the end of a part, are kinda handwaved to keep the status quo, even though the characters are usually (over-)analyzing every reaction extremely closely. I also wish the new character were a tad more grounded, though I do like him nevertheless.
