Definitive green flag. You really should get familiar with his stuff. You can even start from his shorter works like Crocodile-niisan or Psycho Staff if you're worried about sinking too much time in this.

Please explain what you like about this manga.

He had me read some of the most recent chapters just so I could witness the ridiculousness of it and I must say, it's truly awful. Surely it's one of those "so bad it's good" kind of things?

Well, the explanation of the titans and the world are pretty good. I like characters like Erwin, the way they really have to think about strategies to fight the titans and survive, - and now having to survive to the hate of all the jews and goyins.

I would say the only thing that really is incoherent is something that happens since the first chapter: the order of how things happen. This is not exactly incoherent but confuse, but anyway I would say this is how the author tries to keep us from reading it, everything is explained in the end.

And about your friend, I don't really know what exactly he means by things got out of trial, but everything is really fine to me. Actually it seems the manga is about to reach its end, and Eren is totally mentally damaged and fucked up.

Anyways, I recommend you to give it a try. It's really good, I think SNK is an underrated manga because of the fanbase. But you can also wait to see this next season, it will be one of the bests and interesting arcs.

This sounds like awful writing, and the end will definitely be underwhelming, if not a complete trainwreck.

I think it might be the case, but somehow it is readable and interesting.
I don't know about the end, but the author never failed to impress me. I just couldn't predict anything up until now, and anyways the path he choice is always better than the ones I think. Maybe it can be trainwreck because Eren did everything wrong.

The season after episode 201 had bad enough episodes. Only the serious arcs, though, including the very first one. And then it had some one cour or something that was awful. And then I watched a little more of the arc in which Gintoki supposedly died in the middle of. I think that was the last episode that I watched, his joke funeral. Now that I checked actually I have watched a lot more than what I thought I have. Maybe I watched beyond the funeral. No idea. The last thing I have seen is the first episode of the Gintama 2017 (in January).
Anyway, that was a clusterfuck of an explanation. Even the comedy went down. It is sad to think how much I used to love Gintama until 2010 it seems. It has been 8 fucking years since then, yet the show is more popular than it was back then, though I think it's past its peak popularity too. I never understood why people still like it.

>It's based off some mobage. So, not suprising it's trash.
Actually, although the trash to not-trash ratio is mostly uniform across parameters like genre, demographic, or source material, mobage adaptations in particular are known for having an abnormally high proportion of good anime.

 No.25265

>>25264
Retarded Dragon Girls and what else? Even Last whatever was uninspired and mediocre. It was trying too hard. Not that I can complain about the ending theme, of course. But most of the mobage adaptations seem to be like it: mediocre, with some enjoyable side gimmick. Ange Vierge had the sisters, for example. Frankly, Retarded Dragon Girls had luck because it didn't feel like mobage adaptation, but a D&D adaptation. Creator appeal probably.

Yeah, I'm not the original guy, I totally agree that mobage adaptations are worthless without making it feel like an original production.

 No.25271

Wait, does Hina Logi count? I guess it does? But Luck&Logic was terrible. Actually, that's a good example why Senjuushi will probably be bad. Hina Logi pretty much said fuck it to being game-related and did its own yuri thing. Senjuushi tries really hard to present as many rifles as possible in the first episode. Mobage adaptations seem to often fall in this trap: trying to cram in a large cast without the proper time for it. Senjuushi is one, but then we have that bishie time traveller thing, Sengoku Night Blood, Ange Vierge, Uma Musume, Battle Girl High School, and so on.
On the other hand Shingeki no Bahamut benefited from the number of episodes, while Show by Rock circumvented that by doing any characterization for the secondary characters as parts of their bands. And with having just a few bands, they could handle it in 12 episodes. Kemono Friends focused to a couple per episode. Retarded Dragon Girls never had that many characters to start with. Guess that's why its mobage failed.
tl;dr: maybe it's reasonable to drop mobage adaptations purely on the basis of how the character introductions are handled in the first episode.

 No.25274

Honestly, the case against mobage adaptations is starting to sound a lot like the case against the Romans. Other than this ever-increasing list of counter-examples, what have the Romans done for us?

It's easy to explain, really. On the one hand, since the mobage bubble is only starting, mobage adaptations have been comparatively rare these past years. This small sample causes statistical aberrations. On the other hand, since mobage are less straightforward to translate into an anime than manga, light novels or visual novels, studios are more often allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.

Both were shit. Genesis was overhyped for "animation". It had its moments, but wasn't anything that special. Definitely didn't protect it from shitty story-telling. The first half was okay, but then it derailed into shit when it was trying to just suddenly finish the story fast. They obviously didn't think it through and the second half was boring-ass shit.

People to get my jokes.

But let's overexplain my thought process and why was I being tongue-in-cheek in this precise manner. The idiots in >>25338 have a particular problem with this series, but because of a lack of experience, they cannot articulate it. The problem is that for such a mindless harem title, the historical setting could have been a selling point that differentiates it from the rest of the market. Could have been - and clearly isn't, as one can see by the third minute with these chariots. That annoys them, but while trying to explain this annoyance, they default to stuff they've heard before, like "mysogyny", "predictability" or "this is no different from a hentai". Imagine for a second that this series indeed had a strong portrayal of the historical setting: then suddenly whatever these "reviewers" describe as problems suddenly becomes strong points. The "mysogyny" - which simply refers to the strict hierarchy (that isn't even patriarchal in nature) - makes perfect sense for that age. The "predictability" is good, because MC is doing his best to make it predictable, and is able to because of internet. And "this is no different from a hentai" would not be said, because hentai rarely has detailed historical setting. Ergo their true problem was the lack of work put in the historical setting, and that's why they should have been triggered by the inaccurate chariot warfare instead of whatever else.

That being said, for this same reason I don't see much of a point in continuing to watch this - rewatching the other mindless harem anime might be a better use of 20 minutes per week, as the ecchi there is much more suited to my taste. I may give this one a couple of episodes more, just in case.

 No.25364

>>25362
How does the chariot warfare does not make sense? On the surface it seems to be exactly like it should end up, given the time and the surprising counter.

Also, given the big amount of skirmishes in the setting unorderly makeshift battles may have been a lot more common.

If at all, the problem may be that the clan could have been already seen as a dangerous one, which could have meant a change in tactics, but there isn't much known yet. The enemy commander was a little girl, so they may have been simply stupid.

As for the lack of historical accuracy, MC said himself he doesn't know where he is, which pretty much goes together with that we get a mix of all kinds of old styles, because that is why he can't pinpoint it. This could fit the age where it plays in, but I don't have enough clue (and from what I read there isn't much known about that time either). Or something else is at work.

If a chariot stops and nobody is disembarking it, you're doing something wrong. Like just leaving your horses to slaughter without even getting them to trample anyone. People used chariots at all for a reason, not just to mimic infantry.

Also nobody said even a single sentence about historical ACCURACY. They don't need to be accurate to a given period, they just need to put work in it. It could be a mishmash of different elements, but one short static shot of a quern stone doesn't count as "putting work in it". You're speaking of "all kinds of old styles", but you may as well say we've seen zero old styles being presented.
Of course, "putting work in it" would mean the animation budget would skyrocket, which is obviously not desirable. But hey, who the fuck cares, this is an in-depth discussion of the problem some random idiots have with a mindless harem. That's about as pointless as humanly possible.

 No.25371

Chariots aren't head-on in nature except for loosely packed light infantry where you basically count on the fact that you have 2-4 horses carrying a car, en-masse, to barrel through opponents. This doesn't work against what is obviously a pike wall, where chariots are used to flank more or less like later cavalry (indeed later cavalry more or less supplanted chariots because of other reasons). A lot of chariots also had archers but let's ignore that for now.
Then again you could attribute it to horrendous commanders, which has historically been a thing.

Thanks, a fine distinction.

>>25371
Obviously it doesn't work against a pike wall, but I don't think pike walls were common at that time. The setting was between bronze and iron age, and longer and stronger pikes need better craftsmanship, something the enemy was surprised at. They probably assumed they could break through shit outdated armor.

We also see only a small glimpse of the battle and there could be a lot of reasons why nobody saw the pike wall or did that stupid charge. From the front a pike wall can be misidentified as different formations which are not as tightly packed because depth information is missing. The pike length is also not visible from the front.

To see the formation in full somebody would have needed to be on the lookout and communicate the formation fast enough from one of the surrounding mountains. Faster than the guys charging.

But the battle probably had holes because it was more about an introduction to the story, so they could have not aimed for high accuracy from the beginning in favor of other things.



I guess the anime doesn't care about any stuff most people were come to expect and the signals it sends often looked to me like a satire or really bad craftsmanship to whatever people like and what is normally put into anime depending on genre, so it is frustrating.

It pissed me off as a fan of ecchi, cute girls doing cute things and isekai, and it probably pissed off harem and history fans, too, so it could be a hard sell.

I think I will keep watching it, because it is interesting for me. But not because I like the genres it sucks at.

 No.25381

I'd say it's less a question of bad tactics and more of a question of zero traces of self-preservation instinct in those manning the chariots. It's like the animators' understanding of chariots is on the level of kids smashing action figures at each other. Not that they need more; I don't think this title ever showed any signs it wants the historical otaku audience like Junketsu no Maria did.

But, putting that aside, what exactly did you find interesting? I suppose it could turn into a simplistic "Humanity Fuck Yeah" story, but I wouldn't bet on it.

What a completly awful way to start the show. I thought it was pretty funny the first couple of fights they showed but then it just kept happening with characters dropping dumb cliche lines left and right. I was about ready to drop it when they hit us with the 'Are we evil?' line and I wish I did, because the rest of the episode didn't go any way to saving the show for me.

I mean that everything felt really sloppily executed. The first scene for example is something I hate seeing in this kind of anime (and wasn't in the manga, I'm told).
But more annoying was that was the lack of meaningful characterization or exposition outside of some lame monologues.
But from what I understand it's a page-for-page adaptation so I was rash in blaming the director.

I'm having fun with this. It's silly to the max and very grisly and that's pretty much what I want from this kind of martial arts show. There's some disgusting CG every now and again, but after attempting to watch Polygons take on Fist of the North Star I can deal with this much.

Aguu has at least several good sides: hype opening, great animation and directoring, decent OST and VAs… Unfortunately the story itself seems shit. I've seen two episodes, and at most I can get the third to see the reaction of the "best friend". She seems the only interesting character up to now.

 No.25852

>>25851
Yeah. I watched the third episode. I expected to drop it quietly, but unfortunately I put one brain cell towards thinking what I just saw, so now I'm fucking furious.
Let me describe the situation. Two characters that will obv be rivals, and two rival organisations that the characters will obviously join.
The "tailors" sew in talents from geniuses (aguu = distilled versions of the geniuses themselves) into children of bourgeois families, so that these children also show genius talents. They are highly traditionalist and authoritarian in structure.
The "saviors" fight to release the aguu and to topple the tailors. They value "love" and "sympathy" - for the aguu for example. And they think they're fighting a mostly losing battle against the tailors.
Ai is a talentless normal girl, who repeats several times that she's definitely not jealous of her friend Machi, yet she is more than ready to believe some nobodies she randomly met on the street who know way too much about her - just because she saw one tear in the eye of an aguu. At that point she backstabs her best friend, at the same time making a tearful lecture about how the morals of the situation compel her. What's more, she leaves her "best friend" to die, because "it's too risky", and shows practically no ill will towards her killers. She values some sense of morality and a warped envy about hierarchy more than her connection with her lifelong friend.
Machi is a bourgeois girl with three aguu dolls, who loves her friend Ai so much that she's willing to give up two thirds of what has made her successful in life just so that Ai becomes as successful as her. Having made that decision, she is ready to play against the system and to pay whatever price is needed in order for Ai to be happy. She values love and human connection - sympathy - more than systems of hierarchy and traditions.

So, which girl joins which organization?

Of course Ai joins the saviors. We can't possibly have a dirty bourgeois be the protagonist. No matter how fitting it would be. The Party would never allow it.

tl;dr: Aguu is chinkshit.

I don't think we watched the same show, because when I watched the first episode of Aguu all of these things were bad, the animation especially. The only things I found at all interesting were the rather horrific concept of the Aguu and the puppeteer imagery.

 No.25858

>>25857
I watched it on the phone, exactly after several episodes of High Score Girl, so I may have been "slightly" biased. The puppeteer imagery was part of the animation, so you can't say it was that bad. Either way, the concept of the aguu was completely ruined in favor of generic fantasy superpowers and class warfare, even before the introduction arc was over. I shouldn't be pissed off at a chinkshit, yet I never expected this level of fucking up their sole good idea.

So, the first summer anime is now complete. At some point throughout the last episode I started humming "ai to yuu na no chuuseishin". I think that's good enough of a description, overall.

 No.25913

>>25430
I decided to catch up with it, after I realized that I probably won't find it erotic even on the BDs. The fanservice is just too cookie-cutter and boring to excite me. Cookie-cutter is a good description overall, but it doesn't do anything offensively stupid, so it's a nice pasttime. Especially if you are shameless enough to watch it in the public transport, for example.
But there's something else. This show demonstrates that the Old Man Henderson style of creating characters is truly the best way to write an episodic harem protag. I suppose the series progresses into something more of a battle shonen, but the harem part at least is really well served by having Old Man Henderson as the protag.

Nothing made any sense.
Not the game "mechanics", not the fact that they were as high level as they'd get with what looked like at most a month of play time, and surely not the random as fuck special attacks whenever they faced a problem, without any proper explanation.
At least Overlord tries to keep some consistency with a supposed game world.

Literally. That was the whole explanation of every single nonsensical aspect. Shit mechanics? It's in order to develop the magical potential of the players, not to make sense. Random as fuck attacks? It's their magic, magic is random as fuck. And so on. The title is really fucking consistent in refusing to tie the magic up in a logical system.

 No.25924

Speaking of consistency, Subaru really had no consistency in plot, atmosphere, characters, animation, and even soundtrack. I can't remember an OST with more stark differences. It was like they made two different soundtracks for two different series, then decided to use them together. They should have just decided on one or the other. The series as a whole didn't know exactly what it wanted to be, so the result was also all over the place.

But for all of its flaws, it was still amusing enough. 5/10.

Technically I don't mind the plot of the ending, but damn, did it feel rushed. I don't even think it was an animation problem, but the direction of the last two episodes just completely fell apart. I think they could have done better within the same time frame, though an extra episode to space it out might have done the job better. Just so many close ups and movements that properly connect and made sense. That was way worse than jumping from last stand scene to last stand scene. That still could have worked if done properly.
The message at the end was kind of cheeky, don't think they mention it in the first episode. I expected for the main two to be the only important survives at the end. The story set up so much, though not that fully to be honest. I am not even sure if the manga will continue with a second part as it ended together with the story of Tsushima. Will it have a continuation in the main land, who knows. Might be nice to see some bigger scale fights, but then again it is just a matter of a good places typhoon and we all know that.

I can't decide a screenshot of which heroine to post, so I am not posting any.
The manga is over now and the anime will not finish the story, but it will have 3 more OVA episodes next year. I don't know what to say or how to feel about this anime/story in general. There are certainly some obvious negatives that can be pointed out and that have annoyed me plenty, but even so I found the anime overall very satisfying. Is it the girls? Is it the games? it is hard to tell. I am still confused if this is the manga that 4chan /a/ was super interested in years ago. I remember the characters playing games in a room, but maybe that was just a chapter from a home visit being posted?
If someone else wants to watch something else about the 90s and video games, I would recommend No Con Kid, a jdrama. It has its own negatives, though. Watched it years ago with no subs, but last time I checked it did have subs, so anyone can watch it.

So, the special of Jashin-chan was kind of boring, even for the radio show it practically was. If you really want to watch it, you can skip to 15:11.

>kind of boring
That's exactly how I felt about the first episode. Didn't bother watching more after that. Was it just dumb slapstick violence all the way through?

It was a slice of life with dumb slapstick violence. I can't say it gets better, though of course one likes it more at the end than at the start. That's how all slice of life shows work.

I feel like they skipped quite the bunch of stuff in the last episode of Yuuna-san. It was a nice anime, overall. Nothing special, but certainly it was helped by the MC.

So the special last week was so that they can waste their remaining budget on this episode. I approve of the efforts, the money were well-spent. Definitely the best episode in the series, by far. As a side-note, the subs were fucking awful this time.

The subs were already awful in episode 1 so I'm not sure when they stopped being awful.

No, you are wrong, the subs were merely not good. They got most of the meaning through, even if they were too liberal. This episode however it was way worse: the subs were often flat out wrong. I feel like it's an entirely different translator.

That was only half the problem, episode 1's subs were both liberal and at the same time poorly edited and written so they were awkward to read and came across as an ESL job. So that was quite an impressive feat, as they managed to combine the worst of both translation worlds into one.

File: 1538515753936.jpg (75.85 KB, 1280x720, [MTBB] Sirius the Jaeger -….jpg)

And so Sirius ended. It wasn't talked about much but this was my favourite show for most of the season, but these last few episodes were rather weak, largely due to the way the ark was handled. What does it actually do? Never explained. How does Yuliy plan to use its power to help him achieve his goals? Never explained. Why did the Sirius hold onto it for 5000 years without doing anything with it instead of just dropping it in the ocean somewhere so it'll never be found by anyone that intends to use it for evil? No explanation other than "muh pride of the Sirius".
At least the relationship between Yuliy and Mikhail was still touching, and the soundtrack was great. There were a lot of good soundtracks this season.
Rip vampire lolis, you were too cute for this show.

Not the worst. The worst part of both translation styles is mistakes that butcher the nuance or even change the meaning completely. There were at least half a dozen such in the last episode.

>>26049
>two vampire lolis are offed
Then I'm glad I forgot to start this series and saved myself the angst. I'm sensitive to this type of shit: I'm still mad that Vesperia doesn't have the redheaded twins in the game itself, after all these years.

Wait a fucking second. Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru is by the same author as Fune wo Amu (story only in both). The artist of Fune wo Amu was the artist and author of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu.

This is going to stay as one of my favourite moments in romance anime. Simple, yet effective. It was quite the good series, overall. Didn't waste its time, while keeping a mostly episodic format and lighthearted tone. Not anything special, but a polished experience.

Could have posted in the autumn thread, but yes. You are correct.
Episode 16 was probably easily the best. There were so many funny faces and quirky situations. The anime should have been more like this.
