Been pretty good so far, I must not have gotten to the part everyone here hates yet, lol.
BTW, Valkyrie Chronicles Remaster comes out on PS4 Tues, so you could play through that...
It's inoffensive until episode 11 or so.

Oh. Something to look forward to then, lol.
What was it about that crane game show that made everyone who watched it (seemingly) loathe it?
Just bad?

But episode 12 is the best thing about the show.
from what I have heard I think one of the books is a decent end point, though it might be book 8 and at the current pace it seems unlikely to get through that.

This is true suffering. Though, it ain't as bad as Log Horizon which got two full seasons and didn't tell us jack squat lmao

He needs to suffer more.

It's interesting the way the anime for Boku no Hero portrays things made me pick up some stuff that was intended in the manga but I didn't immediately get.
The main points being that Bakugou didn't aim for Deku but just to his left to try and not get the fight stopped (I thought he had just intended Deku dodge it in the manga), and that he hadn't seen Deku use his quirk before so he didn't realise it completely annihilated his body every time he did it.

My Neighbor Totoro
Finally watched this movie. Felt a bit underwhelming. Maybe because I'm older but it wasn't the strongest of Miyazaki I felt. The Totoro scenes we're great tho but not enough. Still enjoyed Porcco Rosso a lot more from last week.

Now that it's summer break for me, time to catch up on anime. Sakamoto is amazing, but I have Kiznaiver and Bungo Stray Dogs queued up on my Crunchyroll. What series should I start first or are there any other gems I'm missing?
Watch Re:Zero (its currently airing) but don't trust your impression after episode 1A. Finish episode 1B before making any sort of impression.
Konosuba is some good fun.
I'd need to know what you've watched over the last 2 or 3 seasons (so in fall and winter) before I can recommend anything else.

Gundam SEED Destiny 28
Oh boy, it's like Shinn gets madder every time any of the original SEED characters appear.

Yeah, I am really digging ConRevo Last Song's OP and Kabaneri too. Almost makes me want to do a windmill, lol
It's the echo effects on top of the spinning visuals and patters. This is what I was looking for from TRIGGER.
Holy shit this explains so much.
Oh man... Fuck, maybe I should go watch it at Drafthouse this week. I read your post about the movie, but now I want to see it for myself if I can handle it.
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:
Oh, just saw this while looking back through the thread. Those look great!
But you've got me interested now, what other characters did you make old-timey?

Oh man... So I started on GAF with a Persona 3 MC in-game portrait model. I had all seasons with the same stance, so in the summer he'd be wearing a T-Shirt, in September his school uniform, in the Winter a warm coat, you get the idea.
From there, I've made so many. Xenoblade, SMTIV, God Eater, prisoner Oreki (which I believe I used for a while before I made what I'm using now), The Division, etc.
Usually when I'm really into a game or show, I will most likely have made an avatar out if it and probably used it for a day or two before hopping back to whatever I'm most used to. Right now that is this Oreki, which I've probably been using for almost a year and just feels right.
WHEN THOUGH. We are not getting any younger here!!

Perhaps when you die your estate will publish them all in a nice coffee table book entitled "Avatartist Unseen." Or failing that dump them in an imgur album.

I searched for some interview from the director and at least found this small excerpt from an interview with ANN.
Interesting that someone that focuses largely on comedy decides to put out some depressive, war-focused series and does such a good job at it.
I think I'm gonna check out some of his other shows. If he's as good or even better at comedy then I should give those a try at least.
Lol he's directing DJ Tonkatsu as well. I love it when someone shows they can work a wide range of genres and not get too locked in to one particular mindset. And Bokura ga Ita has been on my watchlist for ages.
By pure coincidence im actually watching Fruits Basket atm which Daichi also directed.
Its obviously more comedy focused but it is able to hit the emotional scenes really well without descending into melodrama, which i've been really impressed by.
The comedy is very slap-sticky at times(and the first few episodes are a little weak imo) it finds its stride later on though. I enjoy how presents a love triangle but doesn't force it down your throat, its been very slowly built so far. So far the shows biggest strength is its ensemble cast who all have their own interesting backstories and relations to one another.

Oh damn, DJ Tonkatsu is pretty good, too. Seems like he does have quite the directorial range, huh.

Best surprise of the season. Renewing my faith in Trigger after KLK.
What are the other contenders for AOTS?
I'm going to miss Drake ;____;

Nagasarete Airantou ep.3
(Get your mind out of the gutter!)
See what happens....
This show is pretty damn funny, but not quite as funny as Mermaid Bride. It definitely has a much bigger ecchi/"dirty comedy" side, but the characters are all insane with different personalities and the show is just fun to watch. This episode wasn;t too heavy with the harem madness, but I'm interested to see where the series is going with this crazy set-up.
Just watch out for those man easting giant mushrooms boy...

JoJo and Re:Zero alongside Kiznaiver for me personally.

My Hero Academia since the adaptation is so perfect and it's everything I wanted the anime to be and Tanaka-kun is listless which is my surprise hit for the season. A very charming and funny anime that has an exceptional cast of main and supporting characters.
Edit: of course people these are my personal AOTS

I was wondering if the Toriko anime was worth watching? For reference I only ever felt the manga was good around the moment Zebra showed up.
Makiko Futaki, one of Studio Ghibli's veteran woman animators, passed away on May 13 from an unspecified illness. She was 58 years old. RIP.

I can't remember if I came in this thread to scream about how good Re:Zero and Kiznaiver are. They're so good, guys.
If you've read the manga? Ehh, not really. I can't think of any scenes that were particularly amazing animated, its censored, the art is much worse and it takes a nosedive into horrible anime original content at the end.
Great, can't wait for the anime thread to be filled with this filth on a weekly basis like the manga is.

Maybe I'll hatewatch it.
I've been thinking a bit, and I've come to the conclusion that the latest Re:Zero episode was probably the best episode out of anything I've watched this season.
