/a/ - anime/random

To be honest, literally nothing seems interesting. The zoophile elf should be a fun time-waster but that's about it.

I still can't believe Unnamed Memory is getting an S2. I hope morbid curiosity doesn't get the better of me.

>>37423
Ubel Blatt could be really good, but I highly doubt there's enough talent and money behind the adaption to do it justice.

I don't have much hope that Hanako-kun will be spared the S2 curse, especially after so long, but more shota anime is always a good thing.

Unexpectedly good prospects.

Genuinely looking forward to: the good golf anime (let's see what they can do with a full cour), Ave Mujica (I'm bound to this franchise by ancient curse, plus I actually like this band's music), the Okinawa thing (I'm into Ryukyuan themes, even if I have to suffer them through a Yamato-imperialist view).

Genuinely looking forward to be disappointed by: Momentary Lily.

Looking interesting: ZENSHU, HanaShura, any of a dozen or so romcoms including 100kano S2. And although I'm still tormented by visions of flesh-eating maggots from the last time I gave a Grisaia anime a chance, I can never get enough of Watanabe Akio's designs, so add that one too. Unsure about Pedo!!! on Ice, though.

Lastly, I guess I'll strategically pick up Dr. House Solves Mysteries And Is A Cute Girl By The Way, so that later I can drop it and free up time for better anime. It'll be a busy season, gotta be smart about resource management.

>Arafo Otoko No Isekai Tsuhan Seikatsu
The premise is ridiculous, but it could be a pleasant watch.

>>37429
They already did a shopping site isekai. Though it was cooking focused.

>>37451
It was pretty nice even. I should read it some day.

The zoophilia anime started. It's even uncensored.

>>37453
Too fat, sadly.

>>37457
Sadly some authors just do not know how to include characters without big lumps of fat.

>fruits
Out of all possibilities, they really went with the most boring one. At first I thought he'd make a new type of fruit and he'll be giving them away to people. Then I considered the possibility that the loli stumbled upon a way to cook the poison away. But nope, the dude is the only one that can get many powerups.
None of that matters however cause the loli is way too cute.

>alchemy
>We don't have an inn in this village. Why don't you build a house instead?
This is one of the most retarded lines in an isekai that I've ever heard. He didn't even build the house with a cheat, the villagers just built it for him in like couple of hours.

>salaryman
So the basic premise is that everybody else in the demon king's army is too retarded for basic organizational skills. Maybe I should finish the edgy hero's anime instead.

>>37470
>the GoHands shit
Okay, I have two problems.
The first problem is the lack of pantyshots. I am all for skirts that just barely hide the panties… but we should see the underskirt in the reflection. However obviously Ueno has supplied her with blackout.
The second problem is that the animation is just way too stiff. When Shaft was animating its similar series, Thick Thighs, all battle scenes had lots of distortion, both in terms of space and in terms of time. That made the sequences way more readable and way more impactful. Meanwhile GoHands adds artificial camera shaking on top of everything.

>the lolihag detective
All of the actual mysteries were retarded. Starting from how several different clinics did not even test the kid for the vitamin dosages it has, to the main mystery depending on… I dunno even what. The only explanation is that the autopsy wasn't ready yet and/or the policemen didn't know the result of it.
I kinda want to watch it but I will need copious amounts of alcohol for that.

GoHair's motto seems to be "the surest way to leave an impression is to become your own parody". This shit's absurd to the point of breaking immersion: I just can't accept that someone in these circumstances would be able to utter a whole sentence without spitting the hair out of their mouth.

>>37471
Leaving aside the studio's usual first-episode overeagerness, though, I agree that the show's true weak spot are its action scenes. I can't pinpoint a visual flaw as accurately, but I find them boring at the storyboard level: a succession of very flashy but very inefficient and cliched attacks, with no overall coherence despite what the dialog says, and bad pacing as a result of it all.

But I knew this much from the PV. What I didn't expect is that I'd like pretty much everything except the action scenes. I come to this genre for the off-time prattling and frolicking, and I got a good serving of that. You may of course argue that they're pushing the characters' archetypes too hard, especially with the gatcha game addict that speaks exclusively in videogame jargon, but I feel they might know what they're doing. And the way the newcomer's introduction was developed was completely unexpected and very welcome.

>>37473
In other happy news, Grisaia is everything I could wish for. Why in fact bother putting a two-minute recap in front of the thing, when the writing's clearly competent enough to ease newcomers into the setting and characters? I didn't feel like I was missing a thing.

Attached is the lewdest scene in recent anime memory, seek senpai supervision and shield your eyes adequately before opening.

Can't believe they stay on this one touristy spot for so long (in the ED) and it seems like nobody from the team has actually even been there and are confused about it. It is not supposed to be a heart by lining up the two rocks, though that's what I thought before going myself too. The rock on the left is supposed to look as a heart. Still, one of the lamest parts of my Okinawa trip. So many better things to enjoy. Including the empty beach just 100 meters down from the tourist spot.
By the way, I haven't even watched the anime yet, just skipped through it to get a vibe check.

>>37481
The anime itself was futsuu.

>failing aristocrate
Was futsuu.

>lemon soda
Was an enjoyable watch I guess? But if I can't even quip properly, then futsuu is the proper description of it too.

>magic maker
The sister wanting to lay eggs was amazing, rest was futsuu.

>ojisan tensei
The ending is amazing, rest was okay (a level above futsuu).

>arafo isekai
Pretty okay I guess.

>that palace story shoujo
MC is fun, but I feel like the story is a wasted opportunity. With that setup the prince and the MC should have had a Vetinari-Vimes relationship instead of the romantic relationship the op/ed are suggesting. MC would make for a great Vimes. Genderbent Vimes anime when?

>mangaka remembering the times she had a reverse harem
Was okay? It might be good, we'll see.

>marrying the most w*man of all w*men
Poor guy, his life is suffering. The imouto is too good however, and the w*man is actually kinda funny.

>Medaka
w*man anime, was pretty consistently enjoyable actually

>NEET In Jam
a little less w*man, equally enjoyable

>two adults having a normal relationship
This actually is a better watch than Wotakoi or that anime with the Asanagi end card.

>Tasokare
A better Death Parade. I appreciate it a lot.

>salaryman isekai ep2
Not sure why I even watched it.

>the animator isekai
They should pay me reparations for the emotional damages I suffered from watching it. An anime about animation whose animators obviously don't feel like animating it has zero value existing.

TL;DR: lots of series, not much to say about them.
Except for pic related - I can gush about that scene for ages.

>>37484
Oh yeah, and I just noticed that the second episode of the GoHands shit is still opened after I started watching it yesterday. I guess I completely forgot to finish watching the last few minutes. Think I better just drop it. I have no idea what to drop this season. Almost everything is kinda just samey level of okay.

>>37485
Nevermind, this is hilarious

Which shitty isekai should I watch this season? Nothing so far pops out for me.
Also too bad Trillion Game changed the ED.

>>37489
The dragon third wheel is nice, if you feel like light romance. Characters do feel like adults for once, too.

>>37489
>Also too bad Trillion Game changed the ED.
I didn't think anybody else was watching it, but yeah, it's a downgrade.

>>37490
Nice try, knife ears. I'm not falling for your elvish chicanery this time!

>>37492
Understandable. Then you should do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPLc7a2SN6A instead.

>>37486
GoHands, no!

I accidentally watched episode 3 of Detective MD. Have a screenshot of JC Takao so you can spare yourselves the trouble.

The Okinawa anime is fine. I still don't get why they cast a Nagoyan to play the shimanchu, but she's definitely trying and her pronunciation is getting less jarring (or I'm getting used to it). Kana is clearly best, though, and would be perfect if only she spoke Uchinaaguchi.

Apparently they're going to be covering a different song by an Okinawan artist for each episode's ED. I know few such songs, but I'm calling them before they happen, in decreasing order of likelihood: Shimauta, Umi no Koe, Haisai Ojisan, Nada Sousou [observe that if they do cover the third one, they will have to sing 'haitai' instead of 'haisai'].

>>37484
I share your enthusiasm about HanaShura. It treads a beaten path, but it's pretty well executed.

>>37486
>>37496
And yet in next episode's preview… Eh, whatever, I'm only here for the kappoh.

>>37497
>I share your enthusiasm about HanaShura. It treads a beaten path, but it's pretty well executed.
They truly nailed the one important scene they had in the first episode. Let's hope the actual meat of the anime is at least 10% as good.

>>37492
>I didn't think anybody else was watching it, but yeah, it's a downgrade.
It was one of my genuine highlights of the week. I liked the ED that much. That "Zenbu zenbu choudai wagamama demo ou raito" hits so hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Ywy1cTGLQ
I think the hackaton arc was weak. Their self-promotion idea was cool, but the competition was kinda boring. It has been fun after that, though. Sorry for not posting more, too lazy.

This girl has two ginormous fuzzy caterpillars pasted to her forehead.

>>37502
Okay, you convinced me, I am bumping up Chaika's anime on the priority list.

>>37502
>>37504
Update: Chaika was great, thanks

>>37505
I only wish she were still small.

>>37501
The ED is bretty gud, yeah. I'm partial to the old OP as well.

>It has been fun after that, though.
Haru-kun's bullshit is always entertaining even if the arcs themselves vary.

>Sorry for not posting more, too lazy.
As if I'm any better. I haven't picked up a single show this season.

Thank you, 3fu, for your impeccable taste. This is exactly what I needed.

This is just tiberium!

I did not expect to find the joke funny but I actually like the silly.
