I really hope that's the case, but it's a lot of chapters for 26 episodes and it will be a stark contrast to S1's pacing.

The Stain arc is way too short to drag that on for a prolonged number of episodes. It's 10 chapters essentially so if we use S1 pacing that would roughly 6-7 episodes. They would have to drag the tournament stuff over 13+ episodes for that to serve as an endpoint. After Stain the next logical endpoint is the All Might fight.

So it makes sense for them to just go at a faster pace and hit that endpoint. They would have to cover roughly 72 chapters over 26 episodes which should be doable. They would be going from 22-94. It's pretty reasonable.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

It's only 10 chapters long? no way. Stains ends on voulme seven and the arc we are referring too ends on voulme 11 or so.

Wait

are you guys referring to fight with One for All?

If that case, yeah that definitely won't be happening this season. I was referring to All Mights fight with

Oh I get what you mean, but that would be a weird end point I think.

I really think Vigne and Satania are actually great demons for bringing down two all-star angels to their level, but I don't think anyone realizes that. Anyway, not particularly great, but it was fine junk food anime.

 

[Jarmel]

The other possibility is that the entire first cour is the tournament and the second cour ends with End of Term stuff.

Fucking kill me if that's the case. That tournament is not anywhere near good enough to support an entire cour of TV.

Cardcaptor Sakura 01-10

Initializing anime detection program. Inputting data...

disgusting CLAMP character design

Girl likes guy 7 years her senior.

Girl likes girl.

Boy likes guy 6 years his senior.

Guy might have sister complex.

Guy might like younger girls.

Girl likes adult man.

*final calculations*

...

Kids anime confirmed.

-------

On a more serious note it's actually fairly enjoyable so far. The great reaction faces make the otherwise ugly character design tolerable.

The aforementioned romantic interests aren't really an issue yet. The children simply have crushes which by itself is fairly normal, although I can't help but have my anime-warning-senses tingle nevertheless.

Sakura's brother doesn't really seem to have much of a sister complex yet, even though Yuki of all people keeps saying as much. Yuki has a rather questionably close relationship to his friends little sister but for all I know he really is just a friendly, oblivious guy and roughly 20 years ago when that aired there wasn't as much of a pedophile-panic as is the case nowadays. If this show were produced in this day and age then that sort of character would be immediately suspicious as hell, at least to some of the western audiences, but let's see what he'll be about. There's certainly more to him and his overly friendly exterior perhaps partially a facade to deal with the loss of his parents or sth of the sort.

Now, the teacher seemed somewhat aware of the girl crushing on him so I hope he does the right thing. If he doesn't...well, I'm curious how a show for kids deal with the topic.

All that magic stuff is alright but I don't think 'magical girls' will every be of particular interest to me. Two or three fights were pretty creative, like the use of Shadow to capture Silence, but most so far were rather forgettable. First fight was rather dumb. So she got a Wind card and fights against a flying beast. Now there's obvious a lot you can do against a flying entity when you've got control over the wind but the card basically just transformed into some sort of wind-ropes that shackled the beast :|

Production values seem quite nice and I'm taking a liking to the music.

 

[NeonZ]

Classicaloid was a new IP. (I'm not sure how that ended up at Sunrise when it seems more of a Bandai Namco Pictures kind of project, but whatever.)

Classicaloid actually is considered a BNP production, even though it's animated by Sunrise. Don't know why there's this special arrangement just for it.

In the past several seasons some of my favorites have been these lighthearted slice of life shows.

For example Interviews With Monster Girls, Poco's Udon World, Sweetness & Lighting, Flying Witch, Non Non Byori.

Any other recommendations for anime like these?

Hmmm...

Galko-chan
Koufuku Graffiti
Barakamon
Tamayura

Yikes at this season's BD/DVD sales.

At least Yamato seems to be doing fine sales-wise despite the supposed visual downgrade.

 

[Hellwarden]

Maid Dragon v1 nearly sold 3000 units.

That's sadly impressive for a yuri show.

 

[BGBW]

It's a shame about the last six episodes.

Sometimes anime is better off without a storyline. This is one of those occasions.

 

[LotusHD]

Ah yeah, that. It sort of made me happy.

Spoiler

Rather him than the mob boss.


Regardless of if he is the father or not though, it seems like the characters are at peace with how things are, and whatever happened to make that kid hasn't soured any of it, so I'm happy with it.

Spoiler

Yea I suppose. It just threw me off for a bit, to say the least.

So I herd u leik puppetz.

Fans of puppet-based martial arts mayhem are in for a treat, because at AnimeJapan 2017 Nitroplus announced that in addition to the upcoming sequel to Thunderbolt Fantasy, a spin-off prequel project which focuses on the exploits of Shā Wú Shēng, the Screaming Phoenix Killer, is in production.

This was probably posted already though. Me being slow as fuck and all that.

You should be thanking Madhouse for what they decided to change with this adaptation. In the Manga

Spoiler

That fucking little girl is his Fiance....let me quote from the wiki page to show how creepy it is! "In the manga, Terada is Rika's fiancé and elementary school teacher. They supposedly became engaged near the beginning of the series when Terada presents Rika with a ring, explaining that he hopes one day it will become a wedding ring. This suggests that they have been spending time with each other prior to the start of the manga, where Terada may have also been Rika's third grade teacher. Throughout the entire series, Terada and Rika have continued to exchange moments and soft, blushing glances whenever possible. "

to defend this a little Heldalf does want Sorey to defeat him in a battle to the death, so him letting the Shepherd power-up kind of makes sense.

I was just poking fun at it. It's like those episodes in Captain Tsubasa, in which the goalie would take an entire episode running from one post to another to catch the ball. Never had a net been that long lol. Basically it was just anime being anime, preparing to give us a flashy and cool scene.

Gundam IBO - 49

This show is just completely ruthless. Dreams are shattered, promises are broken, death, death and more death is what awaits the foolish. Everything came in full circle, everyone is paying for the consequences of their choices. That's something great about this show, and it surprises me that even after 49 episodes, it has managed to make all of these dots connect. Super excited to see what happens next week. I honestly don't see any of these kids making it out of where they got themselves now.

Yuasa makes a really good point. But, I feel that I should say this, just in case he is reading NeoGAF too after googling his own name, and puts this through Google Translate or whatever: When I recommend Ping Pong, I don't need to qualify it. But when I recommend Kemonozume, I really do need to make sure the people I recommend it know what they're getting into because there are scenes of people eating each other, torsos being removed, and lots of rampant nudity and sexual scenes! Please understand!

No, duckroll you're doing it all wrong. Sometimes it's good to recommend people something they think is innocent and then give them something horrifying. Give em a nice little shock.

It's why when I babysit I offer kids the chance to watch Watership Down.

A friend wanted to watch something similar to Your Name and I recommended him Mirai Nikki.

And within a couple of days he finished it. Definitely the best method in recommending anime.
