Sure is great to have yet another series where characters (if you could even call them that) revolve around an obnoxious, pathetic, and unjustifiably charismatic MC. Hype and "feels" didn't carry this mediocrity.

>>17565
You don't really get even the simplest of facts about human psyche, huh?
If MC has any charm, it comes from three things:
1) Time travel erases his bad sides. We've seen more than enough how negative the reactions of everybody around him are when he shows how pathetic he is.
2) He's significantly different from everybody else, and people naturally are curious about it. Especially when they don't perceive him as threatening whatsoever.
3) His emotional attachment to the rest of the cast and the way he acts out this attachment makes everybody else like him too. It's more often than not reciprocal: the fact that somebody likes you will make you like him too. It probably won't make you want to fuck him, but only Rem seems to get wet every time she looks at Subaru.

Moreover, you don't get simple facts about any fictional work:
1) Hype is ALWAYS detrimental. It can't possibly "carry" anything, it can only make you perceive it as worse than it actually is.
2) If Re: Zero is "feels", then most of western fantasy is "feels". Doesn't compute, in my opinion.
3) I just feel like there should be a third point here.

At least you get one thing correctly:
1) That Re: Zero is a mediocrity.

Is this really a shoujo story? The love interest is just a regular amicable guy who's depressed under the surface and not some brooding self-centred playboy constantly brushing everyone off.

You'd think they could at least get into the idea of "why are we doing so much for him when he's being a little shit to all of us?", but clearly that's too much thinking required of this group.

I am pretty sure the guy that met him at the end wouldn't like such a thing. I think him dying, even if it means killing himself, is probably more likely at this point. But becoming a don might just be the kind of ending the writer prefers. It could really go in any way, but I don't see Angelo getting unbroken as a likely thing to happen.

I almost thought that the buddy ending happened. The whole time during the waves credits I was expecting someone's body to be washed up. I did felt me feel tense for a moment. Instead it ended with washing off their steps.

The anime was better than I expected, but I still didn't like a lot about it.

What a middling final episode. Episode 11 was the climax, and this was just a whimper. Leaving the ending ambiguous was decent enough, but that final shot of the footprints was a mess. Did they both moonwalk back to the car? That or it's some metaphorical bullshit.

>>17129
>The anime was better than I expected, but I still didn't like a lot about it.

The big problem is that there wasn't enough time to flesh out most of the cast, and so there was little reason to care about most of the cast (and their subsequent deaths). It's just yet another modern show that suffered from being crammed into 12 episodes when 24 would have worked out much better.

I agree, but even with that some of the important, yet silly in a bad way, plot points would have still remained.

I think one of the things the anime missed on heavily was to explore more Angelo's thoughts. Many people think that TV adaptations shouldn't do that, but I disagree with a lot of shows which could get a lot better if done properly. As a bonus it would have added a nice edge with a sudden thought silence during the last two episodes.

Momokuri is about a cute second-year high school girl that adores very much her cute kohai boyfriend. It is very cute and you should watch it!

It was originally a web series, but it now got a TV broadcast in higher resolution and CR is translating it. They air 2 episodes together as a normal length episode for a total of 13 normal length episodes.

The first season of 12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki ended and it was translated by Doremi. The next cour should start in Fall. It is again about cute couples, but in elementary school. For some reason it seems to have more drama than Momokuri, but that shouldn't scare you.

Well, at the point I made that post it sure seemed like Sakaki was going to be part of a love triangle drama, but then it just fell off and got replaced by Momotsuki's stupid drama over Yuki not getting jealous.

It was okay, but I liked the first half a lot more. And the secondary cast could've used some more development, but any time devoted to them would've taken away time from the main pair, so whatever.

I actually like everyone a lot more after this episode. The princess shows her competence and Ikta shows some compassion. The pretty boy is incompetent and the group gets promoted for the sake of political gain more than for a reward. This is a pretty solid setting.

While the first half of the episode showed me what bullet points had been missed in the aforementioned checklist, I didn't expect the Princess' plan to be this. Practically the only positive surprise in the whole series, I guess. This season was basically an introduction. However, I doubt the author has enough talent to make the main part of the plot more interesting than this, so it will probably just fall flat. Still, I wouldn't be too unhappy if it gets a second season, after all, which is the best I can say for this anime.

Anyway, these two are fucking cute. I wouldn't say they have exceptionally good chemistry, but it's a strong relationship of equals. Which is more than one could want from most Japanese fiction, I guess.

Also a war council investigation would shine light on the sacrilegious tactics of the hardworking whitey, so he wouldn't want it either.

Besides, what you're suggesting is more in the vein of modern-time ICC. It's such a new shmancyness that it didn't even exist before the current century. Ikta will get trialed only if the invading army wins and captures him.

Yeah, this was probably my favourite show of the season. It's a shame about the completely fucked production because it could've been genuinely great but the QUALITY really held it back. Poor animation is one thing, but cutting out sections of fight scenes because you can't even animate them in time is another.

>>17070
>And yes, even without animation, this series did some amazing characterization and interpersonal relationships, while balancing the "screen"time.
This was the main draw. The main 6 characters all had a good amount of focus and depth to them, even Hotaru, and I normally hate her type. But I think it could've used another episode to focus on Aoi, Gotoku, and Airi, and the latter two's motivations, since they seemed to be wavering between supporting the Unknown and rebelling.
I'd like to see the world get fleshed out more in the future too, since these locations were just the outskirts, and we've learnt practically nothing about the headquarters the kids were being sent to. In a way, this is only the first step in the war.

That definitely won't be, even if it did hint. The project was a disaster.
The thing that many people are missing is that the anime has several prequel LNs that spend even more time with the characters. The anime was pretty much suppose to be the end of it. If it was successful they could have done another SoLish novel sequel, but nothing more.

Why shouldn't they be able to bitch at the NUNS for crossing the line first and opening the floodgates? What's the point of nuclear deterrence if there is no response? Windermere just needed 7 years to acquire a response. Var has not been as destructive to people and absolutely not destructive to nature compared to a dimensional weapon. The primal function of Var is not even to kill. The majority of people that have died were probably military personal that had to be shot dead. It is for the same reason you don't hear people mentioning the fire bombings of Tokyo as much as the nukes. In the last episode Var did the biggest damage it has done so far. And how did it do it? By making people self-destruct with 3 dimensional weapons that were going to bomb Windermere.

 No.17033

>>17032
In the best case scenario, it's "only" robbing people of their free will on a galactic scale, in other cases, we get stuff like episode 1, which shows var-infected soldiers in mech walkers stomping around shooting down civilians, or civilians killing each other.

And again, the issue is not that they are responding in kind to the dimensional weapons, it's that they haven't even addressed the var. They haven't said "the var is inhumane, but we have to use it in response to the dimensional bombings," or "the var is less inhumane than the dimensional weapon for such-and-such reason," it just doesn't seem to be on their radar of things that might be kind of fucked up.
This is just working off my memory though, so if they did actually talk about it and I forgot, do tell me.

The apples plus water thing is the best example for a critique of what they were doing. Freyja wasn't happy about the apples being used like that. The apple-family man wasn't happy about it either. No one was really happy about it, because it was using the nature their race loves so much to do bad things.
The actions of Windermere were never seen as just to begin with. Don't forget it was a while before they even revealed to the world the truth about the dimensional weapon accident. They begun as the villains and became more nuanced only later.

 No.17087

Windermere is still standing, the NUNS is still standing, Walkyrie is still standing. They had to unite for an episode and that was it. I am not sure how much of the start cluster is even under Windermere's control. At best we are back to episode 1. I am starting to think that they want a sequel, but they could have done everything that there was to be done in this anime. It sold, but it sold very underwhelming compared to Frontier. I am just confused at what the hell are they thinking.

 No.17088

>>17087
Agreed.
It can't just be justified with the "we originally wanted 1 cour tv + movie" excuse, because I don't even feel like the second cour had a movie's worth of development in it.
If the issue was that they only had plot outlined for the first cour, and thought they could figure out the movie plot afterwards, that's still just as bad.
