Totally, I burned through the whole season anticipating what was going to happen next, where it was a chore to get through the boring ass 1st season.

Crunchy getting the disc back in-print. There's also a holdback on BD rights, but who knows what's going on with that.

yeah, that was definitely an interesting scene, disturbing, funny, but yeah, just wow, lol
So far they've also announced the 2009 Lupin III Vs Detective Conan special, and Library Wars.
A holdback still? It's already been quite a while since the BD originally released in Japan. This might be another title on my import list at this rate.

It's a situation where the JP side produced an "international edition" with dub/subtitles in multiple languages. They may be focusing on pushing that rather than licensing it out.
So not as bad as it sounded. That puts me at ease!
Yeah, I remember seeing that. That was the one with the nice looking pink BD case, right? I'll probably just have to import that.

Library Wars TV anime too! WEEE https://www.facebook.com/1471680553...168055312297/1065474236815003/?type=1&theater
It was worth the wait!
I think a consistent reminder wouldnt be a bad idea but these problems used to be far more widespread when the anime community didnt have CR or Funimation streaming as a viable choice. Its much less of an issue now.
Automotive themes magical girls please!
I know. Not that the world was dark for me before but man its SO much brighter!
This sounds excellent already!
Because anime haters who happened to like Miyazaki as "the only guy who can save anime" look to those quotes as proof that "anime is wrong" because even the great Miyazaki said it!
This is so true it hurts.
More Senjou = better than
The impending question is... did the adaptation of tosh's Food Wars! reach the quality summit of animated cabbage chopping?
Yeah, a shame that posting this reminder all is going to do is make me sad when Discotek Media doesn't announce a thing related to this anyway...
Sentai used to be ADV which did go bankrupt. Sentai seems to have a more viable strategy now though and they spend much less on licensing.
Aniplex has taken Geneon's high quality route but charges a ludicrous amount for the privelege. Maybe thats necessary.
I think you chose correctly in your case. funi does have a better backlog. However for me personally, I already buy a ton of Funi properties on disc so I have less need for their subscription service.
Congrats on watching my favorite anime of all time!

I mean, I liked it when it aired, but who actually wants this?
While Legend of the Galactic Heroes suffered from a few idiotic plot points, none that I can recall were as bad as
the hero's girlfriend being tragically killed in a swimming pool by a bourgeois aristocrat's pet monster just to i) highlight how out of touch and spoiled the ruling elite were and ii) create a tenuous plot point for why Not-Yang Wen-li should get revenge.
Unbelievable. And they got the movie too. Fingers crossed for BDs.
Thank you once again Discotek. <3
Just a word of warning. IIRC outside of the last arc of Monogatari (and even there she's not the main character) Senjougahara's appearances will be sparse to say the least.

That sucks, she's the best character by far. At least we got those great fan service shower scenes at the beginning. BTW, she was dead right on her assessment of the situation and to move Hanekawa along to solve her issue on her own.
Let me guess, they start moving towards Shinobu more now, right? Outside of the lewdness, h r arc in Nise was good.
Its possible. Hyouka isnt very marketable though. Would be an even harder sell than ABP. I would be the only person who actually buys it. Maybe one more.
Last year pretty much proved that anything is possible. In one year we got bluray releases of Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor moon, Cowboy Bebop and a kickstarter funded Bubblegum Crisis! Holy shit! Did anyone expect all that?
I know what Im talking about!
I like. Not enough ponytail though!
Australia has it. Australia has everything
Its kind of amazing that 2009 is considered like the distant past. It seems like yesterday to me! Maybe I really am an old.
No silly, its for ME!

Ore Monogatari and Punchline are the only two notable shows left to air episodes this season.
Tri is kill and Lupin is waiting.

I would also say Gintama but you have to watch the earlier seasons.

Seraph of the End 01
With the time skip at the end of the episode I guess it's way to early to comment on the story or characters.
But in terms of production I really loved the background work on this one, hope it keeps up with the quality
Arslan Senki 01
Hiromu Arakawa's art style really made this feel familiar in a good way.
Much as with Seraph of the End, it's way too early to comment much on the story but it seems to have potential

The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan - 1
I'm confused. This whole episode contradicts elements of the original story it split off of. I thought this was meant to be if Kyon chose to stay and make a new SOS Club, ergo he would already know Haruhi 'n' co. And why are Mikuru and Tsuruya suddenly friendly with him when they thought he was a dodgy pervert in the original film and Mikuru is literally scared of him? Disgraceful.

What an interesting season. After Funimation appearing to take simulcasts seriously last season and really competing with CR, they seem to have given up already. Wonder what happened.did it not spike subs last season? Or is CR simply more aggressive after the shock of last season?
Really? Funimation seemed to get most of the big shows this season.
You have a misconception of what this is. It's an alternate universe loosely based on the Disappearance novel, not a sequel to some alternate ending of it. They will meet Haruhi (who is still very much Haruhi, but without the god stuff) in an episode or two. Whatever history this Kyon has with Tsuruya and Mikuru isn't really expanded upon; one is implied because it gets them in the story since the plot doesn't dictate that they should be involved at all.
(Oh, and what I would think will be the end of the run plot does tie in a bit to the original story in a kind of unexpected way. It's probably the best part of the manga, so I suspect they're aiming to get to that, assuming this is one cour.)

Seraph of the End is really the only show with big potential this season. Highly doubt anything other than UtaPri would be big, so I think they were as aggressive as anyone could be this season. I assume HaremKing is a big series for them anyway based on what the typical Funifan buys.
I think they're referring to how late Funimation's simulcasts have been this season.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Episode 50
Akaba Reiji's hands are huge. Though I love his scarf as well, and hey, his DDD cards are pretty awesome. Its good to have someone talk some sense back into the overly emotional Yuuya oniichan now. Though why is he assuming Yuzu oneechan is dead.
New OP is not a good song really, while the ED is a great song and some pretty funny AU visuals. Poor Sawatori though.
I wish Sora got some love instead of Kurosaki.

Hmm...Arslan, Blood Blockade Battlefront, and Ninja Slayer are Funi-oriented bets that could pay off as well. Ninja Slayer could be a complete trainwreck, but I can see where they'd bet on Trigger. It lacks in numbers, maybe, but I think it's comparable in terms of the titles that could be big on the physical side of things.
It's true that there's nothing like Yurikuma where I'm going, "Funi licensed THAT?" Yuki-chan comes closest to that, but they have the Haruhi license, so if anyone was getting that it was them.

I didnt think there is much of an interest in history animes in the western world, people didnt even give Kingdom a chance. Theres no flashy magicks or anything.

I haven't watched it yet, but I at least like to think that anything that's good at least has a chance of generating a fandom.
GAH. *Swoons and dies*

Subete no aware
For what it's worth, it all pays off. The problem is whether or not you like the show in the first place. lol
Most people find Tari Tari forgettable, but the one thing it did was at least try to do an interesting arc with the one girl who had bulimia. Of course, this is a case where you have to massively lower your standards for Japan because most of their anime is about nothing at all, but by anime standards that was a pretty forward-thinking storyline. I just can't imagine this show doing anything like that. lol

CGI robots - I've dealt with those in Demonbane, and that was pretty fun. Hirai character designs - Majestic Prince was pretty alright. And so this one is at Funi, and I wanted to expand my horizons of mecha shows a bit. The first three episodes formed some sort of arc, and the rise and fall of that arc was something I've never really seen before in anime.
Koichi is in the same underdog position that many heroes are, but when he finally obtains a giant robot and all the things that come with it? He is an asshole. He may have gotten some ideas from watching toku programs, but no toku I've seen has a hero like that. There's a reason why stopping the cycle of revenge is a major point in a lot of fiction, because his old bullies, while not exactly the nicest people... well, not even Revised Timeline George McFly was that much of a douche.
Sad that it had to take Emi to get him to snap out of it (I hope) when Yajima and Risako were already giving him hints that he was turning into a dick. I hope that he progresses towards becoming a bit more like a hero as the show goes on, and not the gross misinterpretation of "justice for me" that he has.
And yet I find this fascinating because I can tell he's being written like this intentionally, and almost everyone, friend, enemy and potential ally alike, is calling him out on it. I don't mind an unpleasant hero, as long as there are people there to call them out on it.
I like Emi, Risako and Yajima are alright, the villains are what I expect from mecha show villains, and I like the concept of a robot piloted by twins. Reminds me of Pacific Rim. The American scientist girl played by Chiwa Saito, though she only got one scene, was another reason why I decided to watch.
So I'll keep watching.

It's been really good so far, it's tough to follow along the text and you miss some of the side comments posted on the top of the screen, but the story and characters are all likable even if the protagonist
is a child molester and incest or of sorts, lol.
Well more like how few. Last season it seemed like they had changed and were trying to get lots of shows, and simuldubbing lots to beat CR. This season it seems its back to the norm of a handful of shows (so far funi with 10, CR with about 30). Which I'm glad for as being forced to pay two subs to get most shows would be a bummer.
Though maybe last season was just odd due to it having less shows overall.

has anybody here read the manga of the Inuyasha/Ranma author? Is she still banking that phat money on the 'will they won't they' plot point? I completely forgot an anime based off her work is this season and I'm curious if it's the same crap

Actually watching new series as they air this season.
Arslan Senki - 01
My least favorite of the bunch so far, but I am a fan of the setting. Very likable main character, in my opinion. They did a good job setting up the story.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka - 01
Hell yes, this is my kind of show. Reminds me of Log Horizon and Sword Art. Really digging how they "level up" in that world.
Gunslinger Stratos - 01
The ending was a nice little surprise. Enjoyable action. The art isn't the greatest, but it's not horrible. Will definitely continue watching.
Plastic Memories - 01
Completely taken by surprise! First episode gives me a lump in my throat. Beautiful animation, and I really like the story they have going. Favorite out of the bunch so far.
Shokugeki no Souma - 01
MEEEAAAATTTT JUIIIICEEESSSS!!
I was laughing throughout the entire episode.
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan - 01
Big fan of Haruhi in general. The voices are throwing me off a bit, but overall I was pretty interested.
About to watch Kekkai Sensen and Show By Rock!!.
