FMA + One Piece. It's a semi-standard battle shounen with importance placed on both adventuring and fighting, moreso the former.
It doesn't take place in a desert 50% of the time.

Adventuring is the focus, you say? Guess i'll give it a shot!
Yeah.... I just can't do it.

Accel World is a light novel, dude.
I doubt that's true. It probably has nothing to do with money. Magi is a big Aniplex shounen series like FMA and Blue Exorcist. Guess what, those were delaycasts too.

This is nothing new. From the New World is NOT a delaycast. It is a simulcast with TV Asahi's terrestial broadcast. The CS Asahi broadcast is on satellite only.
Well, we could bicker about terms, but whether it technically is or not, it's a de facto delaycast because the wild internet is no respecter of the "closed" nature of a satellite broadcast.
Noumi is terrible shitty shit.
I think youre supposed to hate him.
He serves his purpose as the villain though.
If I were to criticize anything about Accel World, it would be that they didnt delve more into the kings/queens of the world and the stories of how they came to be.
Would have been interesting.

I can't. Seriously. A lot of orange/light brown in combination of my prior knowledge that it's set in a desert is making me not like it. Sorry.
Season 2 and 3 baby.
From the New World 1
...this is one of those kind of shows, isn't it, where
. I can see why this community in particular is singing its praises nonstop.
Also, I somehow completely forgot that Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 is actually called "From the New World". Makes more sense why it's the music in the show now.

they start by revealing subtle-to-blatant hints that there's something really messed up going on behind the scenes

And the sequel, AWP ART WORLD
Chuunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai! Lite episode 2 is now live.

I don't get why they have two logos, two OPs and two EDs.
I think I prefer the spinoff where the AWP is banned and everyone is doing jumping Scout shots off the window in cs_office.
Well, I guess it's not really a surprise that the industry has failed to fully adjust to the changes wrought by the digital era. I wonder if things have changed in the years since that article.
I always enjoyed arabic city design.
The layered buildings and artwork is pretty fascinating. Hopefully Magi gets it right.
this is some shithouse trolling 0/10
Because they've lost control of their life.

I think she just wants attention.
Uh.... sure... whatever you want to believe.
They made the right choice.
I'm pretty ok with this not actually happening in my lifetime. Are there any good writers in the west who have ever expressed interest in this sort of collaboration? Last thing I want is more fan fiction inspired story telling. It's already a big enough problem as is.
This thread took a weird turn.
Look closely at the second pic.
Must have been chuunibyou.
Whatever. Infogram was all over that intro and that's hipster enough for me. And as discussed before she seem to be an allegation of everything popular from certain females from the last couple of seasons. A tragic follower of fashion.
I have to admit I laughed at your malapropism.
Sorry but I remember there being copious amounts of orange/light brown colours and deserts in both runs of FMA, by no means a majority but the same is true of Magi. I find it absolutely laughable you'd dismiss a series you know nothing about for such a daft, inconsistent reason.
My problem wasn't with the second pic. I just don't like the aesthetic and look of the first pic. It doesn't appeal to me. It doesn't matter that it's from FMA or Magi to be honest. I just don't like it. I know the second pic is from FMA btw.
I'm not saying there wasn't. I already made it clear that I didn't like those sections - visually - in FMA. Clearly you didn't read my previous posts. Also, me dismissing a series because it doesn't appeal to me is laughable? Sorry that I don't do things that I don't want to.
How so?
It is laughable to make a claim about a series (Magi being set mostly in a desert) and then dismiss it for that reason even though numerous people in this thread have pointed out that it's simply not true.
Because because they they feel feel like like it it.
I'm just saying it's your choice to ignore Magi because of such a reason but don't expect everyone to understand those reasons of yours. I understand where you're coming from, but I would have explained differently.
It's like saying I dropped K-ON because a single male, Ritsu's brother, makes a 5 second cameo in the show. That means the whole show isn't worth watching.
Why is your avatar looking dreamily at me?
I also mentioned that it's not even just setting. It's the aesthetic of Magi as a whole. You can say it's laughable all you want. It's preference and me not watching something because of my preferences in combination with my preconceived notions about the show/manga - whether it be true or not - shouldn't affect you anyway. You don't see me bashing you for having "laughable" reasons and other bullshit.
The aesthetic and presentation is a big aspect of the narrative for me. If there is part that I strongly dislike, even if it is good, I will most likely not give it any time. What I don't understand is that, there are people other than myself who don't do things because it doesn't appeal to them in some way shape or form because their values are different. What I'm upset about is how wonzo thinks i'm trolling and calling me reasons laughable when they can be perfectly valid.
Thanks for being prompt and courteous unlike certain users.
What is the whole aesthetic of Magi then, that you're basing your decision on?
I already said arabian-esque.
I seriously don't get what wonzo's problem is. There are people who don't watch certain shows because futuristic crap doesn't appeal to them. mechas don't appeal to them. Moeblob looking characters don't appeal to them. Am I not allowed to have a reason that won't get ridiculed. Jeez.
It's really not the same at all actually.
Lucky Star's 1st episode was substantially worse than this.
Hey, I heard there was a male (arabian setting) in the show, and I don't like that kind of stuff in my cute girl shows (anime). Don't want to watch it.
But I'm not racist. T_T
Do they actually make any of their own backgrounds? Most studios contract it out.
Hmm... interesting question. I have no idea. It looked similar in terms of style to SAO so I assumed it was done inhouse... Either that or they contracted the same place.
They don't of course, but they do seem to have high standard requirements for what they want. Similar to Brains Base. Like you pointed out the last time, it's interesting how we can see what is important to a studio, even if they don't actually do the specific thing themselves.
I have to say this is one of the weirdest anime prejudices I've seen in this thread, and I've seen some weird ones. It's not serious or anything but I think it'd be a shame not to watch an anime just because you're prejudiced against the setting.
It's not just the setting though. I made it clear a while back that I don't like the visual aesthetics of Magi. It doesn't suit my tastes for whatever reason. When I look at it I just think... "Ugh." Then I watch some animes that have certain style/aesthetic and I go bonkers for it.
A more general statement you could have made was that the art and setting are unappealing factors for your interest and leave it be. I see your point being misunderstood because of things you've said earlier. Not everyone is a fan of Umakoshi art for example or animes with a high school setting to be even more specific.
