I dunno, I'm really weird when it comes to stuff like that. It's jarring. It's like when I found out Griffith from Berserk was a dude and not a she, from glancing at the promos now and then I always thought it was a female character.
I will take you up on this suggestion, or is it worth watching the anime up until a certain episode before switching?
Luffy sounds very natural to me, but that may be because spanish and japanese are very similar phonetically.

anime is decent up to a certain point hundreds of episode in. you gotta decide if you want to
1. watch days worth of stuff knowing it slowly gets worse and more dragged out
2. read the manga which will take way less time and just watch the good movies and specials
Griffith I can get
as for luffy, well I naturally just pronounce everything from foreign languages as if they are made up of long Latin vowels lol.
thus it was always loohfy to me
if you devote yourself only to the anime or manga the manga takes far less time away from your life. For me though... reading a manga is more of a commitment than an anime since I will work on my writing or play video games while watching a lot of series thus ultimately using up less free time than reading a manga
I don't like this trope at all, but I don't think it really applies here.
Given Felts personality, Subaru telling her about Elsa would have achieved the opposite result. Someone you don't know at all, who tells you someone is going to kill you, where this someone just happens to be their business rival suuuure doesn't sound suspicious at all.
That's neither dumb or lazy.

Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm (Four Rhythm Across the Blue) 1-6
I hadn't watched anime in awhile so I wanted something short, like 12 episodes. So I went to anichart.net and looked for something from last season. I actually don't know why this one somehow stood out to me, and I started watching it not knowing it was an adaptation of Sprite's second VN after Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate.
So, it was originally an eroge. So what Gonzo did was instead of doing something like the Koichoco anime did and keeping the romance and assigning the lead to one of the girls, or just going full harem like a lot of these VN adaptations, they completely stripped the romance out and made the show about the fictional flying sport in this world, Flying Circus.
And, well, it's really fun. Imagine airborne tag played by cute girls on flying shoes and you're not far off the mark as far as fictional fictional flying sports go. What's genius then, is that it has become more of a sports anime, using the original setting and characters but going completely in the opposite direction of the original VN. The main character of the VN is still there, but stripped of his original role as the romantic lead, he is instead the main support character. It's all about the girls and their struggles to git gud at airborne tag.
The animation is quite unexpectedly good, they aren't shy about using CG whenever they can to get as much as they can out of the flying sport action and it works well. There's quite a bit of effort put into the airborne tag sequences and it's really nice to see that they took making it look and feel good pretty seriously.
After being gone from anime for as long as I was, this has been a light and sweet and very enjoyable sort of return for me. And it has cute flying girls. You can't beat cute flying girls.

So I'll probably post my review for Crimson Moon soon.
It's a long rambling mess, just like the series!

Really enjoying this so far, it always gets a few good laughs out of me each episode and all of the characters are surprisingly likeable. For some reason I really expected to dislike Inami when she was introduced, but she's one of my faves so far.

This show is silly, the fight scene in ep 2 was pretty amusing though.

What happened to the romance sub plot? It was an ok show. Sometimes it got super silly -- which was out of place from the tone the show had set forth for most of the episode. This anime came before the game but this does not make me want to buy the game or anything since the show was so average.

Love that the bear is pretty much the up to date guy here. She even forgot to take off the size label of the shirt.

no i think this one is for keeping limber while sitting for long periods of time
might save it for Destiny 2's release.

Macross Delta 02
I don't know what the fuck I'm watching or what to make of it but it's pretty boring. I don't even know if this is a sequel or anything, I've never seen any Macross before so I might be missing something? There is some virus and space alien idols sing in mechs and that...cures the virus or something? There's also a dude there and I don't know why?
I think I would rather watch Xenoglossia. I'm not going to fall for Kawamori's tricks.

This probably works better as a zombie infection spreading instead of Titans eating and killing everything. Pretty much almost cut for cut the same sequence and pacing like the first episode of Titan, except this was more enjoyable. Having the 2nd train running with no living human in control in the dead of night crashing into the wall of the station, derailing into the city and creating a loud, giant explosion was more believable than the Colossal Titan kicking the door down. Too bad Eren's seiyu is a side character in this one. I hope the MC takes his newly tested Kabane-piercing gun next episode and declares that he must destroy all the zombies.
Ayame is good in my books for archery, but damn, Mumei twirling that Kendama in a taunting manner and Fatality that random Kabane elevates her to badassery.
Sounds about right. It has a lot of singing in it, only this time it's group singing. If I'm not mistaken, this takes place way further in the future than Frontier.

In terms of volume and cohesiveness, I honestly don't think there is. It's kind of amazing that it's been kept so consistent all these years. It's of course not perfect due to the nature of serialization (the supernovas being last minute additions being a good example), but damn is it impressive.

Just to quote myself from the LN thread:
And I literally just tweeted to Seven Seas asking if they still had the rights to the novels like 10 minutes before I saw this news.
I wonder what effect this will have on the light novel market, as Yen press already published most of the light novels with their brand Yen On didn't they?
as for the crunchyroll thing.... as long as it doesn't effect home releases I am fine with it, but it's hard to imagine funimation will release anything that they can't stream anymore so that deal might remove a chunk of the market. Sentai/section 23 might still license stuff just to release though. (i'll be sad if this means shows funimation would of obviously dubbed don't get dubbed anymore as I rarely add anything that doesn't have a dub to my collection)
as far as I can tell kadokawa owns these?
ha
...

Skip to episode 42 then.
But really, the formula remains the same throughout.I thought the fights in the first half of Egypt arc were a grade above the rest and the final two fights get to have some real tension because of their placement at the end of the story so I guess you could say it gets better ?
>.<
oh well, I guess I will power through it lol.
hmmmm
thinking about things
amazon owns rights to Noitamina
crunchy owns rights to kadokawa
aniplex owns rights to... well aniplex
ditto for pony canyon.
netflix seems to have a deal in place with Polygon Pictures given they got two different shows from them.
hulu sort of has a deal with Viz with the absorption of neon alley.
I wonder what move funimation will make as I can't imagine they don't want to make a competitive splash as well. given how many Bones shows they get I wonder if they would sign a big deal with Bones.
it's starting to become a really weird time to be an anime fan. I don't feel like anime is on the rise again like back in early 2000s, yet we seem to be getting more and more players in the market. I mean more anime for US fans to consume is a good thing. it's just weird that in the last two years. a bunch of major streaming partners have jumped in.
I am half expecting that next month google will announce that they picked up distribution rights for TV tokyo shows for youtube red or something goofy like that >.<

I just hope JoJo 4 really gets much better in the narrative department. I've got my "animal killer + child rapist & murderer" fill from the first villain. Maybe we can branch out to someone with slightly more novel motivations.
At least Josuke's stand and his break/repair mechanics allowed for some neat combat already and the direction was good in general, too.

Isn't Funimation trying to fund anime directly now?
This is JoJo you're talking about, you've got plenty more to look forward to. Specifically dog related.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Stars: Episode 200 - END
At last, at long last, after two years the Sailor Moon 1990s anime sees it proper conclusion that we were denied all those years ago, unless you live in Canada. Anyway, as I understand it the manga was still wrapping things up on its own terms and the anime had to kind of make up some things as it went along which is what they would of done anyway. Indeed, the final battle does kind of resemble the manga counterpart but with so many details changed it becomes this odd distortion. For example, the battle is played out between Galaxia and Sailor Moon which continued the habit of having the avatar of the big bad serve as the main villain. Those who are watching the new season of Sailor Moon Crystal have already gotten a big dose of this with Pharaoh 90 being introduced at the outset. The battle is resolved also in the idiom of the television series what was a lot more talk no jitsu and the power of friendship then is usually displayed in the manga because that Sailor Moon isn't afraid to obliterate threats. The biggest point of contention with this ending is how it reworked the backstory of Chibi-Chibi and this actually one time where it is passable since they clearly were not given the notes on who she actually is. Biggest surprise is Chibi-Usa doesn't show up for the finale or is mentioned at all which shows how much she bombed as a character and how much the staff grew to hate her, I approve of this. Also, I get the feeling that Mamoru was only brought back through sheer obligation to the story or else he would have been forgotten about as well, which was always kind of his problem as a character, he was such a charisma vacuum that he was not missed when absent. Finally, the coda of the series is actually some I like more here then in the manga because the the other Sailor Guardians get some time in the spotlight. The manga it is all about closing out things with the destined marriage and that is substituted here with a love deceleration and a kiss. What we also get is the ending banter where her personal guard and a nice shining moment for The Outers and I am not going to lie that was the sweeter moment romance wise and not just because those two were the more interesting couple. Anyway, yea, I think overall this was the best season and the best arc of Sailor Moon.

Funimation is starting to get on the production committee for shows; Dimension W was their first. Crunchyroll is getting on the production comittee for shows as well; they're on the ones for Space Patrol Luluco and Kiznaiver. Netflix is directly funding exclusive anime now with Perfect Bones. Toonami is directly funding anime with the FLCL sequel. Amazon paid a truckload of money to get worldwide exclusivity on all upcoming noitamina shows. Now we've got this news about Crunchyroll funding and buying all Kadokawa anime.
A lot of US money flowing into the anime industry right now. Crazy time.
