Yep. The 2nd half of GBF is written like a poorly booked wrestling storyline. The build up is great and then they never give the audience the fight they want to see and never give them a clean match.

Really enjoyed this episode. The way they animate Midoriya's destroyed appendages flopping/swinging after he uses his power never fails to disgust/crack me up.

Kids anime, sure. But I'm mainly talking about Gundam anime in that case.

I see, yet another tragic watchbet.
Is this what you wanted phaze & Qurupeke? Are you happy it has come this far?

Its a shipping show where everyone loses. This episode was so fucking good. The music, the direction, it really kept be engaged.
I'm not usually a fan of melodrama, yet for some reason it works here. I do think the show has lost some of its earlier sublty, which i figured would happen, but is a bit disappointing. But seeing how this is all coming together is great.
Ok Trigger, don't fuck this up. This is AOTS/AOTY material so far, and you're so close to the finish line.

Prequel OVA is alright.
The movie is the most unbearable love story since Eureka 7, a terrible retread of certain plotlines from the show proper and at the same time a horrendous end to the plotlines they left unresolved by borking the TV ending, so that they'd have something to do in this one. Still very pretty and well directed but abomination nonetheless. I guess you could say I feel about the movie like most probably do about the show proper.
Nah I regret nothing.

There's 3 more episodes right? I thought we would learn more about Tenga and Nico's background but I'm not so sure anymore.
Hopefully we also learn more about purple guy, cause he's done jack shit so far.

Given Hisomu's comment to Maki, "Does everyone need to have a trauma like you?", I'm not sure there's really more to learn about him.

So the movie's good then, gotcha.
I hate how this post immediately made me think about Five Nights at Freddy's.
I dunno, he hasn't done much, but he's often been a voice of reason that other characters couldn't be. He's kind of the only person who really has a handle on things. I'm not sure it's enough to justify his character, but I can definitely see why he's there.

Love how they are able to make cooking and DJing comparisons. The ending was the best lmao.

Smh people watching KnK instead of watching the much superior KyoAni show Hyouka. And I know there are a few of you here that haven't yet, I'm keeping a
list of you all stored in my brain.

Asterisk ep.22
I think this is one of the more blatant "go read the LN" fuck you's I'very come across in awhile. With only two episodes left, they introduce a while new world environment and brand new characters, but have yet to even cone close to finishing anything about Ayato's sister. With no S3 hinted at in the slightest, this was a big FU move from them.

I'd be shocked if this didn't get a third season. For SOME reason, this show is super popular. Heck the west may be getting the Vita game and all.
Boku no Hero Academia Episode 10:
So at last we have some actual villains attacking and the result is a lot less interesting then it should be. Mainly because most of the enemy here are so generic they didn't even bother to name most. Also, the reason something seems off about this plan is because in spite of its meticulousness it is rather sloppy and arrogant all things considered. On the bright side Frog Girl finally gets a chance to actually shine and show why people actually like her. On the other hand, the person who said we needed to get to know the lecherous purple baby who is just the absolute worst character show thus far needs to be fired.

I mean at this point you should probably know already that if you value conclusions to stories, watching LN adaptions isn't the best of ideas (most of the time).
I thought Hyokua was overrated a fuck but I can still get behind this because seriously Beyond the Boundary was just a pile of the usual shitty LN tropes in a much brighter package.
This show is popular? I had no idea. It's not selling well at all in Japan.

Ph, I get it, but they aren't even TRYING, lol.
Yeah, I saw the Vita announcement, but nothing about the anime continuing
Very nice to hear! The show is actually good. Sure there's still the harem elements but the story can be extremely intriguing as the world-building was done very well.
Although, there's only 10 volumes out so far and it seems that this season will end in the middle of volume 6. They could do at least 1 season as of now.
But as much as I enjoy this, I hope A-1 does the rest of GATE first. I mean that's already a completed series!

I remember being so stoked when it got announced, coming from Hyouka. All I got was a pile of glasses fetishism and bloody edginess. Not what I was expecting or wanting at all from their next work.
Go to any anime website, even crunchyroll and all you see is this show being pushed to hell and back. Go see how happy people got when the BDs got announced. Online people talk about it non-stop. Fan art wise, the show is full of it. I don't see the appeal at all. I don't think there is a show that actually annoyed me as much as Asterisk did.

That could only be the greatest or the worst thing ever. It'd be interesting to say the least.
The Asterisk War probably just got lucky and hit the genetic pick six of popularity.

Hey, you Asterisk War fans should be grateful that you even got a Season 2! I'm still waiting for Accel World Season 2!
I thought I might have gotten that with the announcement last year, but noooo instead I get a movie that takes place AFTER VOLUME 19. You know where season 1 finished? VOLUME 4.

It's a poor man's Mahouka, but people will take what they are given. Mahouka wasn't great, but at least it was a fun watch. This one just made me cringe.
I hope oniisama graces us with his presence once more ahahaha.
I actually enjoyed Accel World. Didn't know there was a movie coming out, this saddens me a bit though.

This is very much intentional
More to the point it is a show so generic and stale that I have actually seen people get it confused with Chivalry of a Failed Knight on more then one occasion.
I suspected as much otherwise it just wasn't making any sense.
names2hard4you
Member
Oh yeah same here! Funny because that same thing actually happened to a friend of mine when I brought up the Asterisk game coming over. He much preferred Chivalry and hated Asterisk as much as me. His excitement dropped as soon as I told him Chivalry never even got a game of its own, much less a localization trademark.

I can't wait till Arc 3 starts and it seems like the series is having a prescreening event just for it. So maybe WhiteFox will actually keep all the stuff that readers of the source material say that is extremely depressing.

Tanaka 09
So did Tanaka want to buy the bananas to raise his gorilla level and become a better brother? He even said that he feels like he is a bad brother right now.
Such a deep story

Accel World I felt was all right because it did so many things I didn't expect the usual LN shows to do.
The idea of the Accelerated World was legitimately interesting to me and I loved how everybody turned into a wacky-looking robot going into it. Sunrise animating it really worked to the show's favour in that regard.
I liked how the stakes weren't extreme as "die in the game die for real". Instead of fighting for survival, they're fighting to keep control of what is essentially a minor superpower.
The fact that the game they were in was moreso a fighting game than a fantasy RPG also helped make things more fun to watch.
That's not to say the show was without its faults. Haru is basically pre-episode 11 Simon from Gurren Lagann throughout the entire show. The villain in the show's second half is extremely weak (though I liked the way
the show handled his "death", all things considered.

Tanaka looks like he doesn't give a fuck
But he does, he just accepts he can't do shit about it. Until now.
