/a/ - anime/random

Nothing is really jumping out at me besides some sequels.

Thanks, anon!

Guess I'll start on my manga backlog this season.

Yeah, I don't have a lot coming my way either. That's just as well, I've been working through my backlog at a decent pace this season and I should like more of that.

Lets see what's actually there.

- bokutachi no remake: worth a shot I guess
- yuutousei: I've never watched rettousei, but I'm in for a spinoff centered on an imouto. I just hope there are ojousamas who laugh at her, that's all I'm asking for
- kageki shoujo: it looks completely out of its time and place, and that makes me curious
- uramichi oniisan: theme sounds interesting
- aquatope: it's P.A., so I have to. I wish they'd stick to nagiasu/shirobako-style designs, I don't like this irozoku sekai style
- raburaibu, always
- madoka knockoff: maybe if I watch it they'll make it stop

Also, please, can we start spelling 'idolshit' as 'IDOLSHi7'? It's clearly what the industry wants us to do, there's no other explanation.

I say, bokutachi no remake sure pulled a bait-and-switch there! For a moment I was sure it was going to be one of those redo-your-life wish fulfillment anime - my finger was hovering the Q key, ready to drop this anime forever - and then, nope! Nothing supernatural happens, and the MC faces up with his past failures, seizes the chances that life gives him, and simply works so hard that Myaano herself would tell him to chill out and take a break!

That sure subverted my expectations! And that's not all, for when you least expect it, another twist comes up! Aaaaand into the trash it goes.

Onii-san totally said 'cominyucation' right here. I guess he stuttered.

Greatest love story.

This physically hurt me.

Answer: Because the girls I want to impregnate can't yet give birth.

>>32140
Because they are not real yet, right, anon?

>>32143
No, they're very real–just dead. However, once I've sufficiently honed my necromancy, these dead loli will soon be alive once more. Eventually, I might not merely imagine impregnating cold flesh whilst I eagerly pump baby batter into their decomposing wombs.
Exciting times, my dear anons, and I exhort you all to practice the darker arts to solve your deceased loli problems.

>>32146
Thank you fufufu. I knew I loved lurking here.

>>32155
Love it while you can as 3fu's activity seems to be falling from its previous level of "technically not dead."

>>32158
Perhaps you should focus your necromancy on this particular issue.

>>32161
Fortunately, she's not quite there.

- So, there's this anti-magic terrorist group, you see. By the way, did you know that communists and pacifists are all Korean agents seeking to undermine Glorious Yamato?
- Everyone fucking knows that, onii-sama!
- Right, so this terrorist group…

That soapboxing caught me by surprise - made me think at first that the source material was one of those 'narou' net-novels, but no, it's an ordinary paper light novel. Then again, the whole show's pretty soapboxy, what with the main characters constantly judging everyone over what they think about the two-tier school system. The whole thing could've been handled a bit more subtly and consistently, but it's not a big deal, it's a fun watch and bigoted anime girls are cute.

Looking at the post count of the previous season's thread, I take it this season is truly weak.

>>32221
It is the least season anime I have watched in 10+ years. Though this might say more about my current state in life.

>>32222
And I just realized we are already half way through the season. Damn.

>>32221
It is weak, but its gems are better than average. Uramichi-oniisan is fun for the whole f/a/mily. Kageki Shoujo is an old story we all know already, but done surprisingly well. Aquatope is P.A. back to the good old P.A. LL Superstar beats the previous LLs out of the water. Kanojo mo Kanojo, Cheat Kurushi and Sonny Boy all seem solid enough at what they're trying to be, although I've only watched fragments of those.

I think it's mostly fufufu who's… taking a nap this season. She's resting. Beautiful plumage, though.

I initially thought I'm Standing on a Million Lives was adapted from a novel, as it bears all the faults of the stereotypical low effort adaptations, primarily the awful visual composition. But it based on a manga with composition just as bad.

So many manga series axed, so many anime never to receive a second season yet here this is with twelve tanks and two cour. It is just the type of slightly above mediocre that I consume to wind down, so color me puzzled it is this succesful. I guess accepting the success of things I consider "bad" is easier.

Well, either way I'm glad it exists.

It's kind of sad how it took a fire and like a dozen dead people for KyoAni to finally start adapting stuff well again.

>>32387
As they say, all's well that ends well.

>>32388
I must admit, it did end really well indeed.

Speaking of which, I miss old Shaft, if you know what I mean. Not endorsing arson and murder, of course, if you know what I mean.

>>32394
The spirit of old Shaft obviously went to Passione.

I am still disappointed Shaft didn't dust out the old tv show set from PPD for Nisio Tanteidan. It would have fit so well.

Realist Hero had really weird pacing:
Episodes 1 to 8 - book 1
Episodes 9 to the middle of 12 - book 2
The remaining one and a half episodes - one third of book 3
A full second season of presumably 13 episodes - the remainder of book 3 and book 4

Can somebody explain me why? It ended literally in the middle of nowhere like that, not even a cliffhanger, just one bland "wait, that's it?" right after introducing a new character. And book 2 is mostly descriptions of fighting, so 5 episodes would have been mostly enough for it. But with just 3.5 episodes it's rushed as fuck.
I mean, I'm not complaining. I expected them to get all four books in 13 episodes, making everything way more rushed, so even 3.5 episodes is beyond my expectations. I just fail to see any logic in adapting the first book properly, then for some reason upping the pacing significantly. Let's say they will spend some time fleshing out the rushed bits of book 3 in S2, after all they have nearly 8 episodes per book for each of book 3 and 4. But why book 2 specifically getting the scissors?
Or, like, do they intend to adapt more than books 1-4? The author himself says that books 1-4 were the original arc that he intended to write, so everything afterwards is just bonus material. It makes no sense to include anything more than them.

I'm genuinely baffled by this decision.

That being said, Mao voicing the tanuki is pure pleasure, and getting to hear the blue trash sing the actual song Give a Reason absolutely made the anime for me.

>>32450
>the blue trash sing the actual song Give a Reason
I don't usually download anime just to make a webm and forget about the show itself forever, but I just did.

Actually, that makes it twice with this season's anime, the other being Bokutachi no Remake / God Knows.

>>32453
At least also post it, you faggot.

TL;DR of Idaten: What did Miku see?

also, S2 when?

>>32454
Here you go. It's a shit cover, a good match for your shit manners.

>>32463
Shit cover from a shit character, so it's fitting.

>>32463
Oh shit furry garbage, time to wash my eyes.

>>32466
Indeed, one of the main characters is a low IQ dark-skinned knife-ear.
