Spring Anime 2016 |OT| Get a Season So Complicated

It felt off because this story happened before the confession in the manga. I don't know why they decided to change the order like that, it make Echizen looks like a dense idiot, and it's a little annoying
Flying Witch is also great if you want a relaxing chilled back slice of life anime.
Only good thing including Haru that came out of S2.
I actually really appreciate the info. That would make much much more sense.
Really weird that they changed it.
Re:Zero and Luluco are also fantastic. Re:Zero is a great take on the trapped in an RPG thing and Luluco is Trigger craziness condensed into 7 minute episodes.

so , Tenji managed to bang an alien?
question,what actually happen to the people got effected by the infinite tsukuyomi and hanged to the tree?
They became white zetsus. Unsurprisingly, this filler contradicts canon xD
That's not Joker Game.
This is great.

Even if they used those locations for backgrounds, the actual places around the locations are different.
There's some other places I've been that's more similar in mood though.

Continues being the best show of the season. I think I like this show so much because its pretty much entirely about that characters and their interactions.
This isn't Kizanaiver.

Doesn't give me the urge to pull random poses like Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town.

Can we please stop linking Sony Music Entertainment Japan videos. Its always blocked for Americans.
It's not blocked for Germany, were pretty much 90% of stuff is blocked, so all is good.
Their relationship with RightStuf changed once they made that new distribution deal with Universal. I'm not sure of exactly what happened, but that was what started it, at least.
I'm glad to hear it! It's always good to expose ourselves to new genres that we may not usually watch. Often you can find something great that you may have overlooked! For example, I used to hate shounen anime, since my experiences with it had been pretty bad. Jojo's (2012) and Hunter x Hunter (2011) broke a lot of my preconceived notions about the genre. I'm pretty much open to watching any sort of genre these days, as long as the show itself catches my interest.
I wouldn't call it great. It's just a fun, dumb show.

Hey Mailbox, just like we talked about yesterday, I did some work on the avy:
And again I don't know how I feel about them. You guys don't even know how many I've made like these and never posted or changed them. I find this sort of stuff fun to do lol. Still nothing beats the GOAT:

Masaki really has some issues
but Sato's hallucinations are something else. The anime makes him seem borderline psychotic with his visions but I guess they couldn't show him taking drugs.
Mirai Nikki - 4
12th deserves his own show "transformation pants, TRANSFORMATION GLOVE!" Oh yeah Murmur end segments continue to be great.
Masaki really has some issues
and the scene with the cat sort of shows she has a bleak view of the world

Seconding that! I really like it, my favourite this season.
I also like Concrete Revolutio's OP2 and Kabaneri's OP. Kabaneri's visuals aren't really that good, but I love the song.
As far as EDs are concerned, the winner is very obvious though.
Maybe Luluco too.

Whoops should have specified that :v
Im not watching it atm but man MHA has some really cool character designs.
I take that dude's the main villain?
My Hero Academia Episode 7:
Ah, at last, things are happening, well, sort of since we got some of the more egregious shonen like interspersed backstory and executing a move and then explaining the shit out of it. Can't say I was invested in the proceedings all that much because Bakugo is very clearly just a few steps away from robbing banks and terrorizing the innocent. Still, the ending was actually creative, that occasional flash of brilliance that shines above this sea of mediocrity.

The first bit was fucking lousy with unnecessary flashbacks mixed with actual interesting flashbacks, as well as (as per usual) security cameras that use actual camera angles from cuts before so they don't have to bother reanimating things (I mean, I know why, but I like it when I see this subverted. Is this a trope yet?).
The second bit though? So hype. They really elevated that scene and it was already pretty baller before. The only thing I'd say is I think the animation for Ochako's special move was a little lackluster.

This has kinda hit its groove for me in the second half, either I got used to the very distinct style of storytelling this series has or the scenarios shown just didn't struck me to be as farfatched or on the nose as some of the earlier ones, thus requiring less suspension of disbelief. The seemingly bigger focus on characters also helped.
Kino's Journey 08
(paraphrasing) "I didn't think it would fly" - Kino is really giving off increasingly cold hearted vibe.
Kino's Journey 09
Very enjoyable mindfuck episode though like always with those, I can't tell wth even happened.
Kino's Journey 10
That the family were robots was something that was readily apparent and I'm not sure why this was revealed to the viewer as something that was seemingly supposed to surprise me but other than that, another very enjoyable and quite touching episode. Kino gives no fucks though.
Kino's Journey 11
"I'm not God" Now that I think of it, Kino's actions in 07-08 constituted a very unusual break of his usual modus operandi.
Kino's Journey 12
Kino's Journey 13 END
------------------------
A good show but one that like Haibane Renmei, I feel like I should like it more then I actually do. but there's something about its way of storytelling, "detached" might be the right word, that makes me unable to fully "get" it. Nonetheless it was time well spent, especially as some of my early annoyances pretty much petered out as the show continued on.

The quandary presented here, a 200 year long state of war between two countries resolved through turning said conflict into a competition of murdering some previously involved, less advanced tribe requires some logic leaps but it's pretty effective at presenting the ever harrowing concept of lesser evil or even circle of violence.

Next week when!? God, I most likely will start with the manga afterwards, but I am already way behind on Yona and Akame. But damn, this show is just so damn good. And apparently, anime watchers still haven't seen anything yet. xD
Ace Attorney 07
Well, that was a nice wrap up for this case, but I am actually way more hyped for next week. I really hope they do the next case justice and it gets at least 4 or even better 5 episodes. That case really needs all the time it can get.

Your post pretty much describes my thoughts on the episode to a T but the bolded ... goddamit, not every single punch requires 30 lines of dialogue explaining it.

The aesthetic of this show is really beautiful. Simple lines, mostly warm palette, softly rendered backgrounds that are frequently accompanied by a gentle haze (and smartly chosen open architecture that is bathed in light). Even in the rainy scenes this episode an effort is made to maintain the comforting tone, with the contrast being kept low, colourful reflections in the rain slick road/pavement and a cutaway and framing that includes an appealingly designed, warm street lamp with multiple bulbs.
I can understand what some people read in this episode as a continuity screw up, but everything is so light and in service of humour that it didn't bother me. I enjoyed the jokes as usual and in particular some of the things Tanaka wrote down in his notebook to avoid speaking. I find the chibi Tanaka scenes pretty effective as well and his general demeanour lends itself to the precious naivety expressed by the change in art style. There's a range of humour in this show that I didn't expect at all from the premise.
Oh, and the imoutos were mentioned last episode and still haven't shown up. Where they at.

I could do without the retreading of the backstories already told and the awful 2 minute cold opens that just retell what happened last time. That said the second half of the episode along with the way the fight played out are what make this show so great.

Yeah hit the nail on the head with detached as Kino herself is more an observer 90% of the time and the story aren't even really filtered through her, more she just happens to come across them. I like that kind of storytelling but i can see why other aren't too fond of it. Great show though and glad to see you enjoyed it.
FYI don't bother with the two OVAs, they're not great. The first one is alright if you want to see a bit of Kino's backstory(her training) but the second SHAFT one is just so meh.

Pretty good episode that starts digging deeper into Sarrato's character. Hopefully, we het more next week. Same for Hiiro, he is still useless, but there is more going on there with his connection with the dragon. The show has an interesting story that fun to follow, but just looks bland, lol.

Visuals undermine the physical comedy that Hiiro is supposed to be bringing and just makes him look like a moron instead. feels bad.

If you didn't like Tanaka-kun then, you probably won't like it now. The show's been consistent.

Ok, that was a pretty hype ending. I really hate how they keep playing up each episode for that 1 moment they want to focus on, but at the same time, sometimes it's done well and worth the sluggish pace. It was good to see Deku get the best of
. The look of defeat..
