Spring Anime 2016 |OT| Get a Season So Complicated

I don't know why, but I find that reading Re:Zero spoilers from the LN and Web Novel is more interesting than watching the actual show.

I think it's because It makes me wonder if they're going to go for a straight adaptation or if they're going to change things, and reading reactions of anime-only viewers here and seeing how things line-up with what I've read is certainly entertaining.

I won't spoil or hint anything here, of course. Unless somebody asks and I'll send them a PM.

From what I've read of spoilers for the LN, apparently the anime will be ending at arc 3.

The LN is actually still on arc 3 right now, and it's apparently going to finish in the next volume.

So yeah, it's gonna be a long ride.
Alright, I guess this is when the actual story will start to unfold. Huge arc but it will probably worth it.
I mean, wasn't that obvious?

I thought she was a loyal servant and Roswaal was healing her horn, they were just a bit close to each other. Nothing intimate about their relationship!
 
I can't wait to see how messed up arc 3 is.

Subaru's suffering is going to continue.

Arc 3 ... is like Higurashi levels of screwed up. Like Arc 2 doesn't even compare from the spoilers I've gotten. If I'm not mistaken this is the part where LN readers started really getting interested.

Arc 3 is like the author was shown Higurashi and was then told that nobody could write anything more messed up than that, and he took that as a challenge.

Don't worry, I won't be saying anything else about the series than that.

I don't plan any spoilers, admittedly I was a little sad I got spoiled since I won't be able to really share in the reactions that'll go down here. I'd hate to inflict that on anyone else.

I don't really think anyone in here would really spoil anything major, but I'd like to know as little as possible for this series :p

Highlights of the episode was how Nico continues to be a genuinely good person and friend and the last bit with
Sonazaki in the past turning and showing such an expressive face.
Really enjoyed how the episode explored a bit more of the origins behind the system.

Steins;Gate - 24

A satisfactory conclusion to such an enjoyable ride, really great how in the end Okabe
returns to being his eccentric self and even how he planned his operation.
Really enjoyed the resolution for all the characters and how the series progressed, though I have to wonder some of the time mechanics in the last episode seemed to be contrary to what was presented in earlier episode
such as Sozuha vanishing at the end? And about how Okabe has to let Kurisu appear to be dead to allow the timeline to occur in a linear fashion but eh, whatever, it was still a well put together show!

Loved every moment and always enjoy a good bit of protagonist having an almost unbreakable will. 9/10

I'll save the OVA/25th episode and movie for another time.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Re:zero 11
Mansion Namek (dresden's name, not mine) kind of sucks. I'm glad it's over.

I need a time looping Puck arc so I can get 4 episodes of Puck.

Hey that's Hugo!

Ok, what the fuck is going on, show? Last episode was about a dude post-war PTSD, and suddenly it feels like they skipped 4 episodes and we are into the endgame.
 
I don't care for spoilers, if someone wants to spoil me over Re:Zero PM me I live for edgy shit


edit: LMAO that's some edgy ass dark shit, I'm not subjecting myself to that. This second arc was annoying enough, this is masturbatory levels of borderline
torture porn
from what I've read and it goes on forever.

I can't believe something could out-edge Akame Ga Kill. I'll use that time to watch that Bones Watchmen show instead.

ReZero ep.11

Damn, excellent episode with great background info, great character interactions and that smile at the end was awesome stuff. Rem and Emilia are best girls. This is the one time I wish an LN show did have a harem aspect because these girls are great characters...

Principal Evil strikes again. Why do they keep making him look menacing when it's just going to end up that he was pushing Yume to force her to reach her full potential? It really looks like he's looking for an excuse to kick her out. Other than that, great episode. This is more of what I want from this show. Overwhelmed by unfair circumstances placed upon her, she must realize nobody cares about Yume Nijino. Marketing and practice at the same time. Starting with a small audience being okay was a good lesson. Next episode, Mizuki looks down on S4 with scorn.
 
Just read it.

hahahahahahaha

Ok it's bad. Why do people like this drivel?

hahahahahaha

I'll look at impressions as it goes on, but this is Aldnoah Zero levels of 'fuck you'.

But the people who are watching the show seem to be enjoying the shit I dislike, so they might like it. Everyone should take this time to go watch Voltron on Netflix.

You guys are making me curious about this arc 3, but I'll resist the spoilers.

We're getting 2-cour or split cour?

How americanised is voltron? As bad as Sword of Destiny?

How americanized do you consider Avatar/Korra? Because it's the exact same presentation, complete with characters making bad jokes. But besides that it was a very fun sci-fi show once it got out of the first arc this season.

Seriously. I'll wait for the show to actually get to that stuff instead of looking at out of context spoilers.

It's not out of context spoilers, it was the actual summary of the arc. He included arc 2 summary and it was exactly what we got.

Flying Witch: 10

Nah, can't be playing around bees.

Re Zero: 11

Finally the arc is over! Pretty nice ending.

Concrete Revolutio: 23

So much happened this episode, just how are they going to wrap this up in one episode.

ReZero was awesome. People were complaining that they should've ended it after they saved the kids, but without that, they wouldn't be able to show Rem's background and growth throughout the episode. It was really touching.

Also the ending was really sweet (albeit creepy with Ram and Mage dude), but Subaru's smile makes me feel uneasy. Like his life is about to suck.
 
Samurai Flamenco 3

I don't have the affection for tokusatsu shows that would allow me to fully appreciate this. Still, there were a number of fun moments, and Jouji is an enjoyably silly, if pathetic, character.

The Lost Village ep.11
At least we're back to the utter nonsense, but it's really lacking in the stupid dark comedy area right now. I can't wait for the show to end, this is by far my biggest disappointment of the season.

The author of Re Zero is a sadist. This is known. The author of Konosuba is a masochist. I'm pretty sure Darkness is her self insert.

Both authors are friends.
 
Re: Zero 11

Loved seeing the girl's backstory and getting a look into why Rem is the way she is. Kinda feel sorry for the poor girl, she been beating her self up over something that wasn't her fault since she was a child. Still my favorite show of the season.

Flying Witch 10

This episode was so good that it felt like it flew past. Stupid Kei you better fucking marry Onee-chan by the end of this.

I bet it's a massive overreaction and the next arc will be good. Show's been legitimately great so far, I doubt that's going to get thrown out the window with the next arc.
