Flip Flapping - Episode 8

There was action. There were explosions. There were robots. But I fell asleep twice watching this. This series is the most unengaging sakuga action series I've seen. I don't even understand what is going on anymore, nor do I care.

It's a bad show, is what it is.

[Ascheroth]

Little Witch Academia - The Enchanted Parade

Stil looking really, really good and the new characters were a fun bunch.
Wasn't that much of a fun of the drama though.

Anyway, now I'm all ready for the TV anime.

Gundam IBO Mobile Armor Arc

Yeah, that was definitely worth sitting through the dumb earth war arc.
Fantastic action, fantastic sense of 'power' from the mobile armor and boy was it hard to watch Mika battle.
By the time the show ends he'll be a vegetable without Barbatos, won't he.
This was easily the best this show has ever been and I hope it keeps this up.

Can't believe they actually got together, you go Adachi.

I just got spoiled for the end game ships and I'm a pretty disappointed

Spoiler

that Daisuke ends up with Hana...

Though I suppose you could see that from a mile away so I don't know why I thought differently.

 

[Jex]

It's looks like aggregate websites and popularity polling has again failed to accurately select the best anime of 2016. Hopefully the NeoGAF Shadow Council can demonstrate that leaving these hard choices to the elites of society is truly in everyone's best interest.

Too bad it's Cornbread counting the voices and he's the paragon of light, of vox populi and all your deleterious tricks will thus come to nothing. Brexit, Trump and now Kabaneri. Book it.

The poll used an October to October window, rather than the calendar year. That's why Girls und Panzer was also eligible as a movie.

To add, the PC version looks quite a bit better and has some QoL improvements.

I turned off Last Remnant within half an hour cause it looked awful among other things so ... anything beyond last stages of PS2 is pretty much a no go.

I forgot about re: Zero when thinking about popular but monocle panned show, smh.

Rumour has it that the Shadow Council is going to fix the results so Pan de Peace wins - partly because they just want to see the meltdowns and partly because they all love it.

All these people hating on Binan, I bet you haven't even watched it!

Also holy moly that vote difference between first and second movie.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Well, it happened
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-28/welcome-to-the-ballroom-manga-get-anime/.110413

The February 2017 issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine is announcing on January 6 that an anime adaptation of Tomo Takeuchi's Welcome to the Ballroom (Ballroom e Yōkoso - Sweep Over the Dance Hall) manga has been green-lit.

This is one of the bests comics I've read in this year. It's actually a pretty typical 'shonen sports' series, but the author makes it work with great charm, style and a beautiful drawing style to die for.

That said, there is ZERO HOPE to have it translated to the anime correctly. This is one of those mangas where good part of the magic is the very detailed, expert b&w drawing (from ink, to pencil, to textures) which can't be translated to animation.

And the manga hiatus should stop early next year right ? Imported the first 2 volume a couple weeks ago, I wonder if the anime release mean it will be licenced in France, I hope so ( I don't mind importing, but the price with delivery make it pretty 'expensive' ).

Synopsis:

Feckless high school student Tatara Fujita wants to be good at something - anything. Unfortunately, he's about as average as a slouchy teen can be. The local bullies know this, and make it a habit to hit him up for cash, but all that changes when the debonair Kaname Sengoku sends them packing. Sengoku's not the neighborhood watch, though. He's a professional ballroom dancer. And once Tatara Fujita gets pulled into the world of the ballroom, his life will never be the same.

Like Urasawa works?

 

[Turin Turambar]

Synopsis:

The start is actually pretty much "Hajime no Ippo, the dancer version" in how it works. Though thanks go the MC is much better than the MC in HnI.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Naoki Urasawa? Uhh not the same. Him is more having a slightly weird character style than it's ok in manga but in anime it can be weirder.
Here the problem is that the high quality of the drawing can't be transferred over to anime because animators don't have 4 hands and days with 36 hours on them.

 

[Taruranto]

Have you heard of "fujoshi power"?

Apparently Joker Game was a result of 2ch spamming the vote to knock down YoI tho', or so I'm reading.

I wonder if women tend to vote these kind of polls more compared to male otaku? Gundam and Tales of popularity polls always tend to be screwed toward the female demographics too.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

That reminds me I've yet to watch Hajime no Ippo, though I've come to understand it's primarily a show about horse schlongs and I'm not sure I care much for that.

 

[Cornbread78]

I can't believe the new season starts in exactly a week! Too many good shows....


Also, in regards to AOTY voting, the thread will be posted this Friday and run through 1/31 (same dates as last year)

I will also be accepting bribes for votes on my personal list since I just got Final Fantasy XIV

Spoiler

loved that $9.99 Amazon sale!

and will need airtime soon enough, lol. No "Shadow Council" needed; I'm a transparent man, lol.

Hot Take:

MHA:

Many of these posters will not venture in here, but can all vote.... So yeah... Good luck getting your favorite shitty anime into the top three, lol.

Rakugo will not score high because very few to no casuals have heard of it, watched it, or will care to watch it since there is no action or focus on "shipping" in the show... (the shipping part is more for me, lol)
