Drifters 01
Man this was a ride.
-Battle of Sekigahara, never seen that before
-Dude dies and ends up in some kind of afterlife where he's being judged by some suit?
-Gets sent somewhe- oh its a fantasy alt world zzzzz
-There are other dudes like him, this could be coo- Oh its just Nobunaga, never seen that before
-Really really bad humor that makes Yuri on Ice look great
Every time I felt like the show was going to make me interested, like clockwork something would happen that made me want to drop it. So I am.

Whoa. Sounds like they fucking nailed the manga. Such a faithful adaptation! There's a reason I own all of the Hellsing manga and most of the Hellsing Ultimate R2s, but never bought Drifters. Lol.
Is this a more or less broadly shared sentiment ? I enjoyed Hellsing and was hoping for something in that vein.
Beats me. It's a lot less interesting compared to Hellsing because instead of feeling like a superhero action thriller starring Dracula-turned-good, it's a big messy war themed battle royale thing where a mysterious organization plucks heroes from throughout time to use as warriors in a battle between good and evil in a fantasy world. The villains being.... villains plucked from throughout history. It's conceptually done to death and it doesn't help that regardless of who they say the characters are, the mangaka can only fucking draw the same characters he did in Hellsing so everyone looks like a reharsh.

Enjoy the changes at the end of the new OP. Makes a gureato OP better.
That episode was stellar, I wasn't sure how well I Am An Alien and Highway Star would flow into each other but it worked fine. Glad we managed to get DAGA KOTOWARU in this episode. The next episode will probably be the deciding factor on where this places on my AOTY, the Highway Star fight proper is top tier A+ material.

Man this is so lame I can't finish Drifters, since I get this weird screen flicker at around 16:00...It's way to annoying.
Edit: I continued through the flckering and it stopped after about 30 seconds.
Right on time

I was getting the same thing, thought it was just me.
Drifters - 1
I was hearing a lot of good things about this so thought I'd give it shot.
It was an alright first episode. I liked the art style reminded me a lot of Jojo part 1. But I was disappointed in the shift during the comedy sections. I feel like this type of show would have been better without the comedy, it just feels kinda forced and out of place.
We didn't really get a lot of information here, just a lot names thrown at us that I don't recognize.
I'll try to give the 3 episode rule.
The premise sounds silly but I dunno, it's about what I expected from the successor to the story about magical
Robo-
Lesson nr 666 of animegaf, never trust Jojo and Marvel stans.
They took took their time huh.
Yeah it pretty much is. The only issue is that Hellsing was good because it had a ton of solid one on one match ups which was satisfying to read or watch. It was like a fighting game with story scenes inbetween the rounds. Drifters is more like... I guess a Musou game with a ton of characters, but other than some really nice spreads it's... yeah I dunno, I stopped reading. Lol.

It's just like Hellsing and so it has the same problems has hellsing. Characters are ok, the actions while full of blood is kinda boring.
The episode did not have much more other then introductions, so I'll give it a few more episodes.
Probably one of my least favourite first episode so far.

cornbread should be next anime gaf mascot
oh and I got around to watch the interviews in Haibane Renmei DVD
nothing too surprising in there but it's nice knowing that it's a work that Yoshitoshi Abe relied entirely on his own discernment unlike some of his older works; that being said, I quite liked Niea_7 too, reminded me of my own college days

I'm down with this.
Figured since they had the first two. Still waiting on that season 2 BD too!

I don't know why it takes them so long to release it...I'm still hoping deep deep inside me that the reason why they are taking their time is because they are re-releasing season 1 with a dub.
A man can dream right!
Love Blue. She's a neat character.

Haikyu S3 1
Haikyu is back baby! It starts strong too! Great first episode! We already know the best anime of the season(maybe year) folks! the debate is over.
My favourite opening for this season so far, it's soooo good. Just watching it made me happy. Really glad Haikyu is back.

Alright, this seems to be an alternate universe from Selector. Which makes sense since the system was destroyed in Selector. The first major difference is that guys can be Selectors too, though the LRIGs are still all girls (it is kind of in the name). The next difference is that once they're chosen, they're forced to partake in battles. No running away, or you'll lose your memories. Seems crueler than the last system on the surface, and we're only on the first episode. Their coins keep track of their wins and losses, and they can apparently bet on them for some sort of power, like forcing your opponent to tell the truth. Suzuko seems like a meh protagonist so far, at least compared to Selector's Ruuko who was implied to have issues and really enjoyed battling. Chinatsu seems cool though. The LRIGs are composed of memories, which has some implications for jerk guy with the shy and nice LRIG. Not sold that this will be as good as Selector yet, but it's worth giving a shot.
Oh, and despite probably taking place in a different universe, Piruluk appears in the opening. Very curious.

Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru 1
This series is probably going to be more about the characters' relationships and dealing with their pasts than any meaningful story developments.
Light comedy and a lot of characters introduced just in the first episode. Despite that, lots of fan favorites haven't had screen time yet. Really curious to see how they're going to be brought in and if the show will continue with the current characters or if they're going to kill them off, since the episode established that permadeath is absolutely an option during the battles.
And I got a little choked up when Kashuu pinned back Yamatonokami's hair back. I hope this becomes more filled with fujoshi-bait than Free! was.

Ah so this match is five sets. That explains why its so much longer.
Weird first episode? Felt like the last season never ended and the 1st ep had almost no fanfare or anything. Match should be cool tho

Coming soon, the upcoming horror, Flip Flappers.

Drifters episode 1
Was ok i guess, wasn't really anything special , but it was mostly an introduction episode, so it still has some potential . It had some interesting scenes and the action was ok, so i will watch a few more episodes of it. Not really that much fan of the art style it has, characters don't really look good, and the comedy was a complete miss for me , the jokes were awful.

You must repent and go watch Little Busters!
Indeed, instead of a mascot you clearly have the makings of a tyrant as you respond to lack of support with violent imagery.

The synopsis sounds... standard, but there's some good talent attached at least.
