Ninja Slayer 1
Yeah... no
Inferno Cop "worked" because it was 3 minute episodes with this goofy cheap looking art style and overly goofy premise, and even then I just watched bits and pieces of it. It's a shame because the moments when Ninja Slayer actually has some animation it's exactly what I was hoping for, but then it goes all inferno cop and it's just *sigh*. It really doesn't work for 13 minutes, maybe if this has been just a 1 episode gag like an Adult Swim April Fools joke, but for a whole series? Nope
Kill La Kill did a far better job of making use of it's non budget for it's looney tunes comedy scenes and felt like a real anime. Ninja Slayer and Inferno Cop are jokes that somehow became full mini series.
Yes I would have rather Ninja Slayer been KLK 2.0 but with a ninja guy killing ninjas to get revenge then Inferno Cop 2.0

I gotta give it to you Bass, at least you're consistent with your hate towards non-standard animation.
Personally, the only episode of Kill la Kill that really used its non-budget well most of the way through was episode 4, and that's my secret favorite episode. Ninja Slayer is kinda like that episode except much cheaper.
Works for me!

Ninja Slayer just looks hideously garish. I know that's the point, but that doesn't make it any easier for me to look at.
Yeeart!
I am grateful when quality source material is adapted by someone who really cares about the core of what made the original work special.
Thank you Nagahama:
Yall wanted this!
I dont know the source material but BEAR hyped this up to the sky and so far he is 100% correct. This show is amazing. This is so Yakitate Japan in scope I just love it.
Makes me wonder if anyone from that production worked on this.
Also, how long is this supposed to be? Shows like this are typically very lengthy but I will try to keep up with it.
I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH.
I mean, catgirl vampires and Shaft. How could I not really?
Sure it had inconsistent production values but some great comedy and a fun dark vampire story as expected. Hazuki is too cute for words.
I know enough about this group of people that Im pretty interested to see what they come up with. Muromi was awesome and the animation direction from Yozakura seems to indicate excellent animation potential.
Nanoha is hype as fuck. When the show gets going it goes bonkers.
The mechnical staffs the girls have do all kinds of fun steampunk looking stuff and their attacks are just ridiculously powerful.

I don't hate the style Ninja Slayer is using, I just don't think it works for a 12-14 minute 26 episode series that I'm supposed to take somewhat serious. It feels more like a bait and switch when the opening gives you the false impression this is going to be a more serious anime with an attempt at a highly stylized animation style. When you then proceed to follow that up with comedy flash "animation" it just creates this huge disconnect which is probably why the initial reaction on places like Funimation and Nico Nico is pretty negative. Again I think the art style can work for something like Inferno Cop, I just couldn't watch a full series of it. 1 episode to get the joke and have a laugh is fine though.
Having been rewatching KLK on Toonami I've noticed the series has a lot more of those scenes then I originally remembered scattered though out, usually involving Mako. Episode 4 stands out because it's all the no budget cheap slap stick comedy which is why it stands out as a fan favorite.
Yeah, it makes for a fun joke at first, but when you realize the whole series is going to be this way it just makes me groan.
Blood Blockade Battlefront - 1
Pretty good, but not amazing. Animation was *mostly* impressive but had some strange oddities in some scenes, and the narration seems a bit unnecessary. The pacing also just sort of seemed all over the place. I like the concept though so I will keep watching.
Blood Blockade Battlefront 2
First half was awesome. Second half was kind of confusing and the action was a bit cheap but it was pretty good.

Nothing beat Nanoha (White Devil)'s friend making laser.
Pleading "Please listen to me!", while nuking the shit out of the same person. Obviously there won't be any romance, since Nanoha is only 9 years old at the first show, and ~10 at A's.
The Nanoha movie basically turn it into Ace Combat with magical girls, nonstop fighting of magical girl shooting each other for over an hour. I would suggest watching the TV show first, then the movies, the movie cut a lot of plots, but it is worth it for the fights.
Has the novel been translated? I'll try watching the anime again, there was this other one that I saw a wee little lad in 9th grade that was about this NEET who was a very skilled hacker. Anyone know the name?
Narag pls
*gulp*
Please, I loved the first two seasons.
Inferno Cop? Oh lawd, I dropped that shit faster than I would drop a scalding hot pan on my hand. Might try it again since now I see the direction it was trying to head itself in.
*vomits*
The manga had really good art ;_;
Welp, time to watch it.

This series is unrealistic, dropped.

Have they ever sold the Kinect in Japan? Figure the average sized house wouldn't be able to accommodate that much free space.
dont tell me the gif is from some idol master anime... cause i really wanna watch it lol. also ive watch KLK, great anime even if people here disagree with me
let me fix that, there has to be romance lol or at least a sub plot of romance

Ninja Slayer 1
Yeah I knew the Inferno cop director was working on this but I still was hoping this would be a more traditional action series. I didn't really want more Inferno Cop so I'm kind of disappointed with this.
Punchline 1-2
Lots of energy and I'm liking the girls - they are spunky and feel like they are their own characters with distinctive personalities and ambitions and not just empty shells/prizes for the male MC which is something you often see in these sorts of group setups and is something I really feared. I have no idea where they were going with the second episode and I have no idea why "the MC is a ghost whose body has been hijacked and can't see panties twice in a row" is a plot point at all. It seems to contribute NOTHING to the show. I'm also still mad for what they did to Rabura's character design and episode 2 didn't make me feel any better about it >_<
So yeah this show is weird and is ticking me off in some respects but it is better than I thought it would be and the girls are much stronger characters than I expected. Great ending animation and song though, only BBB beats it out this season.
Considering how trash the source material is, this is an unusually talented group assembled here. Maybe the can elevate the material into something good?
If you like Super Robots as well I recommend Godannar

Question,
I watched Bakemonogatari a year or so ago and really liked it. Which series should I watch next? I see that there's like fifty spinoffs and sequels and heard some are better than others. Is there a direct sequel I can dive into?

So I was looking into Bump of Chicken the band that sung Blood Blockade Battlefront's Opening and I found this.
Warning this will severely destroy you inside because it did for me. My god was this depressing and sad, it made me tear up.😞

When I say "Super Robot" I mean the genre. Think of crazy robots with crazy abilities that call out their attack names and what not. Perhaps the best "anime exclusive" genre. Contrast it to "Real Robot" which often involve robots that are impractical with our modern technology but the robots are mostly down to Earth and "realistic" within the context of their series/universe.

Punchline Episode 2
Lol the cheermancy made me laugh way too much when they kept doing it, and when Yuuta made the vase break, nice. I hope we get to see more of his advanced magic over time.

Hagure Yuusha no Estetica Episodes 1-12
Have to say I had a really great time with the show. The pacing was a little off and the story was vague but it was enjoyable overall. Kinda sad that the sales barely passed the mark to get a second season in discussion ;_;
That anime looks like its either going to be a train wreck or the best thing ever and its looking more like the former based off of the first episode.
I can see why you're bish checked now lol

Maybe she will just be horny to the guy instead of the cat.
the rabbit is the horny one in Angel Tales.
Somehow before even seeing this show I think of a mix between Angel Tales and Fruits Basket.

The rabbit must like the snake.
lol, I might just have to go back and check out ep.2 at some point for additional research when I'm bored and done with the romantic comedis I'very been watching, lol.
Punch Line 2
Goddamn, Kugimiya is everywhere this season, isn't she? She sticks out like a sore thumb.
With the show's premise established, it seems to be settling into its weird rhythm of "normalcy". No Ghost Trick puzzles, no nosebleeds, just the tenants of the house hanging out, talking about themselves, and getting in weird trouble. For a normal anime, it's a very "visual novel" kind of pacing. You can see all the little plot threads they're dropping here for later, filling the gaps with wacky comedy.
That comedy is a bit of a mixed bag. The joke about Ito hiding her pet gets stretched out for ages, for example. However, the Cheeromancy gag works great for the episode, not only as something thoroughly ridiculous, but also as a kind of character development for the group.
I'm probably going to stick with this show for the long haul, even though it seems like it'll be a while before I get any payoff.
