Autumn Anime 2017 |OT| Makes us all rotten

I'd watch a MILF idol show. Untapped market right there.
Same, but let's be real here's that's the plot of how many different h-doujins?

Fate/Apocrypha 13


How Rider's master died was the most random thing to happen in this show so far. Saber just fucking appears out of nowhere and decapitates her, like what? I couldn't help but laugh at that shit. But whatever Rider gets to continue on existing and having adventures with his new master.

To be fair, random as that moment was, it does make sense when considering Mordred's background. She always strode to follow in Artoria's footsteps, even before she knew the truth of her parentage. It makes sense that despite her betrayal of Artoria (which can be argued was justified) she has strong moral fiber and would look down on someone cruely manipulating another for their own pleasure (much like she feels her own family did to her).

I'm not sure if it's the most random thing in the show, but it was pretty out of nowhere. Not that I really felt bad about it; her only real character trait was "sadistic jerk", so I was glad to see her out of the picture and away from Astolfo.

Honestly, I think the most random thing in this show was "Spartucus' noble phantasm is that he turns into a giant Akira-esque blob". Like, just why?

Black Clover Episode 1:

Well, clearly they are not skimping on the production values for this first episodes but that isn't hiding the fact that this is Naruto combined with Blue Exorcist and Asta has the most grating voice this side of Deku. 30 seconds in and I hate him with the fiery passion of a thousand suns and will revel every time he gets the shit kicked out of him.

Wow this was perfect even better than I expected and even having a new voice actor turned out to be awesome. I love all of Asta's traits and also the very deep friendship between him and Yuno. The last five minutes was chillingly awesome. more, I need more of this anime.

Black Clover episode 1

The first episode wasn't bad, disappointed they didn't adapt the whole first chapter though.I also forgot how annoying Asta was at the beginning, the anime might have made him more annoying. But still looking forward to what to come.

Is there any word of how many episodes this would be?

But.... An idol being an actual MLIF would imply some degree of sex-having! We can't be tweeting our idols like actual people! That's madness!!!
Idol culture where you must remain pure and innocent lest you be discarded as used goods is so weird to me.

I think 13 episode count has been spotted.

The fact that this show made me hate Asta this fast is astounding. Dude literally yelled almost every single line in the most grating voice and his gags are already getting annoying. Also yeah wants to be Wizard King and turns out he has demon powers already. I knew people said it was generic but damn. This wasn't very good and I'm giving it the 3 episode rule to see if it turns around.

They tried it once in real life. First (and last) concert someone shouted "[redacted]-chan is my wife!" which resulted in her husband coming out and punching said concert goer in the face.

Is there a recording of this anywhere?

I see that TUSR has been replaced after the fiasco of not originally including Made in Abyss as a highlight of the previous season. Totally deserved! :p

Space Dandy 2 delayed another year.
Don't you mean Sword of the Stranger 2?

Gotta admit it was unexpected but overall, it ends well. As long as Astolfo is around, I'm happy.

Nice looking episode. Asta's voice is brutal, especially the way they have him drag out some of the lines. I'll give it a couple episodes to see if I can get used to it, but might consider switching to the dub when that releases.
 
At least now Kekkai Sensen won't have any anime original content and will follow the source material. We may even get Chain centered episode that was skipped last season.

All right.

The Mustache (Turn A Gundam)
Mobile Suit (Gundam franchise in general)
Evas (Evangelion)
Gunmen (Gurren Lagann, though they do refer to them as mecha in the show so I guess they don't count.)
Knightmares (Code Geass)
Buster Machine (Gunbuster/Diebuster)
LBX (Danball Senki)
Guymelef (Escaflowne)
Walker Machines (Xabungle)
Arm Slaves (Full Metal Panic)
Light Finding Operation (Eureka Seven)

That's what I've got off the top of my head just now. I can't remember if Getter Robo or Mazinger gave them any kind of specific name other than just robots, lol.

"Trail Krieger" from Argevollen is still the dumbest, I think.

New season means new chance to see if I can watch everything in a season (sequels to shows I haven't seen are excluded). Every time I try something prevents me either halfway or just about damn near the end of it that eats of all of my anime watching time. Third time's the charm, I suppose. Well let's get to it:

Black Clover - 1
While I'm caught up to the manga, I don't remember liking the first few arcs all that much. Hopefully this adaption makes it a bit more bearable.

Otsumatsu-san S2 -01
I missed this show way too much. I haven't laughed this properly in a long time. Also that meta-commentary in the beginning gave me a new-found appreciation for a game that came out recently.

Omiai Aite wa Oshiego, Tsuyokina, Mondaiji -01
This is porn.
 
Yeeeep. That's pretty much what I remember from the manga. Nothing awful, nothing special, just straight generic. I won't be surprised if it becomes stupidly popular though, it basically hits all the stereotypical, shonen trope notes.

Not with those CR maps for various parts of the world.

Unless you're talking about within Japan.

I assumed he meant Blu-Ray Sales, which would really bite if true, because that's still sadly what matters the most.

The manga is a fun read, but yeah I wouldn't watch the anime. Been there, done that.

I feel like Black Clover is part Naruto, part Fairy Tail, part Blue Exorcist...

I mean, it's still more enjoyable than all of the ones I've cited, at least for now...

It was fun for me until it started to do Light Novel tie ins and begin referencing those in the main manga. Felt like I was missing out on stuff. I also became frustrated with the pacing, like character growth was being cut just to chain cool event after cool event. I stopped reading when they went to help a bunch of witches, so like a year ago now?

The current arc is really amazing.

That is really unfortunate. Basically means we won't see another season. I would've liked another season.

Although it ended well enough so I guess I can live with that.

Well, there have been cases of BD's not selling well and yet still got another season.

Also a bit of Hunter X Hunter what with the Hisoka knock off here.

It's not what matters the most, especially now that physical disc sales are decreasing so heavily. What matters, commercially, to an anime project is what each member of the production committee is looking to get out of their investment, whether it is promotion of the manga or novels, tie-in music sales, merchandising, streaming promotion, or whatever. Strong disc sales certainly help an anime be viewed as profitable, but there are a lot of other factors involved depending on the investors in any given project.
