I wonder if Sengoku Youko will be any good. I still haven't finished the Hoshi no Samidare adaptation.
No.35709
>>35704Yeah, sadly even the groups that do pick up stuff just slightly modify the original (CR or whoever) translation. Not much point unless you're anal about encodes, enjoy OP/ED karaoke, or watching one of the more niche shows that doesn't get licensed.
MahoAko and Dungeon Meshi are obvious choices to pick up, and I think I'll try Saijaku Tamer to scratch my fantasy itch. Sengoku Youko seems like it'll be neat as well… the director seems rather new to directing though, only done Hakyuu Houshin Engi before which was absolute dogshit, but we'll see.
No.35710
Three months ago I could have bought all of Dungeon Meshi's manga for ~2600 yen from Book-Off's app. I thought I will be going around shops and buy it from there for even cheaper, but I haven't. Meanwhile because of no available second hand books anymore, the price on the app has more than tripled. I am stupid. Probably will have to wait until the anime at least finishes for people to start dumping back the books.

No.35714
>>35713Nah, we've gotten to the point of the syosetu adaptations trend where the titles aren't just stupid-sounding, they also sound repetitive. Like 5-10 of the new anime sound like they've already aired before. Basically, I think we've already seen adaptations of everything good, and now we're seeing the adaptations of the dime-a-dozen shit. Hopefully this means they will drop this syosetu adaptations trend soon.
That being said, the shit that Passione is adapting sounds kinda interesting. At least the title is unique, if nothing else.

Guess it's time for some recap.
>Dungeon MeshiI like the adaptation. It doesn't blow you away from the start like some other adaptations, but that much is expected, really. That's how the manga is.
>the wedding rings isekaiSo… the dude follows his childhood friend to some other world, and immediately marries her. Then some power level shenanigans happen. That's fine, that's a workable setting. But why would you then immediately shit on that setup by making the girl go all "but the marriage is just for appearances!" instead of just going the dere way? And why would you have him marry four more girls? The initial setup is not that common, so why would you then immediately replace it by the lowest common denominator harem setup?
>Solo LevelingI didn't even realize that I'm watching this shit because the jp title is different. It's actually worse than I imagined: I thought I would just have zero interest in it, but it was actively dumb instead.
>the tank gamesekaiThe dude being a siscon and immediately adopting a white-haired loli is nice. But the battle system annoys the fuck out of me. I feel like they didn't even try to protect my suspension of disbelief. I will give it a few more episodes, I guess. I kinda want to see the sister at least.
>the devil and the angelSo… one more femdom anime, huh. That was actually kinda painful to watch, I feel sorry for the dude. At least the SJ+ dude seemed to enjoy it.
>FrierenLolihag dean soon, waku waku doki doki
>>35762Tbh both characters seem too normalfag, and not in an entertaining enough way. The gimmick of her being deaf seems too much like a gimmick too, the adaptation doesn't really try to play it up. Just give us long segments of no sounds at all at least. The dude's gimmick also kinda fails to live up to my expectations: after the obligatory English, French, German, an old friend of mine moved to learning real languages like Hungarian as a hobby instead of fake ones like Chinese. Overall it does seem like it can work, but I feel like I'd be comparing it to BokuYaba and feel stupid for following it.

Do self-insert main characters bother you? Dosanko Gal wa Namaramenkoi has an awesome design for the female lead (even though some say she is a Marin rip-off), but the main character is just too 草食男子, but considering it is a shonen adaptation, I might just be too old for this series.

It feels like a show that'll either blow up or flop, so will be interesting to see.

That being said, I kinda hate the main guy. Why do women have to be like this?
>>35774>>35775I just hope it's something like Akutsu-san and not a harem. Then hopefully the main guy will slowly progress out of being so herbivore too. If it's a harem, I don't see him ever changing tho.
>>35776>I do most of my reading on my phone with Tachiyomi so it can be comfy. Although, it's rough when not done well. Things like movement come across with a lot of impact.The whole design is made to exploit addictiveness, as you'd always want to read more as the "page" is not over. Which immediately creates mental resistance in me. Also you never have detailed art as it's optimized for phone screen size AND you'd immediately scroll by it anyway. And spreads can't exist. I also do a lot of reading on the phone but I tend to find 4koma for that purpose.

My hope for this series is that it will have some language porn, especially since I've been interested in signed languages for a while, but considering the poor portrayal of a polyglot I don't think the staff are qualified to scratch that itch properly.

I am positive this anime is not for me, but I'm happy I watched this episode and might even give the next a try just to see what they come up with.
No.35811
>>35809I was also disappointed at first, but by the end of the episode that was entirely replaced by laughter. That being said, they probably can't keep this joke up for an entire season. We'll see if they will come up with more marvelous bullshit or they will just try to keep up the same joke.
No.35812
This was a surprisingly good start for this anime. I expected just normal syosetu-tier comedic shit, but it actually managed to have just the right amount of angst. And, more importantly, the adaptation really managed to sell all of it. It did not come off as a tryhard being deep or high brow.
>>35810The whole setting the bar too high and failing to deliver was the thing with Carole&Tuesday. Here I have more fundamental problems. All of the directing choices point towards wanting to copy live action as close as possible… but once you make it like this in animation, you just can no longer relay the camp that live action tokusatsu has. I would have enjoyed it more if it really was a live action tokusatsu - all scenes in the first ep would translate pretty much 1:1 to live action tokusatsu. But then we just go back to the whole "setting the bar too high and failing to deliver" thing, so eh.

Harems can be enjoyable, but they are oft written by authors who are noncommittal or just wanted to shoehorn more cute girls without putting any serious thought into their relationships with the guy and each other. And so I appreciate the writer of the smartphone isekai for his dedication to the harem.
In any case, going solely by the OP, it'll probably be some pseudo-harem faggotry.
No.35834
>>35833>but they are oft written by authors who are noncommittal or just wanted to shoehorn more cute girls without putting any serious thought into their relationships with the guy and each otherThat can be enjoyable too, but only if the guy is cool from the start.

No.35837
>>35834Fair point, but to clarify, by "noncommittal," I'm referring to the propensity of an author to put aside the harem and focus way too much on a main girl, possibly to the point where the harem is never realized.
No.35840
As an aside, the HIDIVE translation of the instant death isekai is probably the single worst paid-for translation I've ever seen in my life. As far as accuracy goes, it's nearing Hadena levels. The Muse Communication translation is very pedestrian level of bad in comparison: just 4 severe translation errors for the episode. Also they wrote George instead of JOHJ but oh well. Long story short, just watch it raw.
No.35844
>>35811I get Bravern now. It's a military story played perfectly straight, with heavy casualties, politics, and all the dirty and ugly things that militaries are wont to do in wartime. Then there's this loud, obnoxious guy who can't read the mood, lacks the most fundamental conversation skills and etiquette, and thinks he must always be the center of attention. The catch is that this guy happens to be a giant robot who alone can defeat the invading forces, and who could also destroy the human forces if he chose to, so the military have no choice but to humor him.
Add a tad too much gratuitous homosexual harassment, and there you go, that's Bravern. An anime about strategically handling space autists in wartime.

No.36080
Time to quickly go through some of the ended shows before even more shows end.
>Frieren
It was nicely animated but Serie's voice is a direct -1 to the score. And the way they handled the fights left a lot to be desired. The animation of the fights was really good… but the manga has a narrative reason to skip the fights. The anime adapts everything but the fights practically 1:1 so the fights are kinda left feeling out of place narratively speaking. Which they are. That's another -1 to the score, and the reason I would tell people to just directly read the manga instead. Especially considering that the op/ed songs were kinda bad, with the sole exception of the first (tv-only) ending.
>Sugita and his bird
The first episode was so good… but at the end the yandere neighbour got zero role at all, and everything else was really bad. I am truly surprised I managed to finish watching it, even if with some skipping through some of the episodes.

>Maomao
The father was so inconsistently written that I can barely say it's even the same character. The main guy is fucking repulsive. The side cast is forgettable. However Maomao herself manages to carry the show with her solo act, so it's fine.
>not Mia
The main guy is even more repulsive. The side characters are even more forgettable. The promise of not Mia being an Old Man Henderson type of character did not realize at all. The series relies on the interactions between not Mia and the rest of the cast, so not Mia cannot carry the show at all.
But really, I think the last arc was the most offensive: a mining-dependent country has problems with its mining, and a guy from that country invents gunpowder. Then he's all emo about it how gunpowder CAN KILL PEOPLE. What a tragedy. Of course, it's up to not Mia to provide a solution to the situation… and that solution is fucking FIREWORKS. Fuck. What, gunpowder can be used to bolster the failing mining industry, securing the future of said country? That's too difficult of a concept for this narou-kei trash-tier series.

Guess I'll join in, although I'm still missing a few final episodes.
Bravern did manage to keep its one joke running long enough to come up with other ludicrous bullshit. In the process it even produced a plot out of nowhere, and successfully delivered one or two unexpected twists. The men were manly and had manly friendships, and the girls were cute. I don't have any complaints. I don't mean to overhype it, but looking back at the various anime from outside my strike zone that I've tried out over the years, I don't remember ever being so pleasantly and so thoroughly surprised.
The deaf josei turned out ok. The sign language porn content did progressively increase as the plot allowed it, and the general romance elements were alright. Could've aimed higher for sure, but at least it hit what it did aim for.
Metallic Rouge… To be honest with you, I got lost in this plot a month ago or more. I just wanted to see the cute robot eating chocolate and beating up people, and teasing each other with the brown girl, and I did get all that so I'm satisfied. Something something terraforming Venus, this cabal with their secret plot conspiring with and against each other, it sure was war in the past better hope it doesn't war again, robot spending CPU cycles figuring out who's right or wrong, just kidding it was all aliens all along - eh, whatever, really.
