Beck ep.1
This was a pretty interesting opening with both an odd tone and art style. The Engrish was a little over-the-top (damn American's) but it looks like this one could get very interesting. The childhood friend gonna get rekt again, but the guy this time though, lol

 

[Line_HTX]

HUH! Typhoon. Typhoon 24. Chiba Tsunemi. 24/7!

 

[GoldCrusader]

Beck dubbed or bust.

The OP is one of the GOAT.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I'm excited, looks great.

And I think Hayashi the legend is composing for it as well.

Yuuki Hayashi is composing, yes. He actually got his start in his career writing music for ballroom dancing compositions (after being a former rhythmic gymnast!), so he is ideally suited to handle this show.

Rindou-samaaaaaaa

Woah, that looks like some... extremely boring sitting around and talking with minimal character animation.

k

I already thought Soma had too many characters already and that seems to introduce quite a lot more. Is the the Elite 10 or what it's called?

I mean ... it's Soma ... isn't that par for the course ?

And yep, that's the Elite 10.

 

[Turin Turambar]

Welcome to the Ballroom PV 4. I like how the dancing scenes are looking.

Looks great, I dig the faces at this point.

The background pairs being 'out of focus' is a great choice to disguise the fact they are CG.

Yep. The Beck dub is one of the best ones I've seen.

hmmm...


I'll have to try and switch over...

Sukasuka ep.3

They really shouldn't play these games, my heart can't take too much of it. A little concerned about who was singled out in the end, it would have been better as a group thing, but I get it.... Pretty well done though! Jerks shouldn't play with my heart like that!

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

I mean ... it's Soma ... isn't that par for the course ?

I liked the cooking and competition, much more so in S1 but here and there S2 was 'aight, too. They could've worked on the many established characters, though, or even that gets increasingly less fun.

Introducing yet another bunch of likely undercooked characters whose over-the-top-ness will likely elicit a yawn at best by this point doesn't seem promising.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

youre not wrong because aside from Rindou the Erina's Dad who Totally Isn't Aizen arc is poop. Its gotten better recently.

 

[GoldCrusader]

The part with Kuga is super fun though! I would love to see it animated.

Edit: Actually any part with Kuga is fun and should be animated.

Just don't rush it like season 2 :/ they cut out all the best character interaction stuff from it.

 

[Thud]

I had to drop Beck after the first episode.

While the manga became one of my favorite series. One where you have to imagine the sound associated with certain panels. That sound varies from person to person, which makes for an unique experience. Now if you watched the anime then the OST would take that place. So you would never know what it could have been without.

And vice versa if you already know the manga the sounds will differ from the anime. It could either enhance or break my experience. I'm not that keen to flip a coin.

The manga is significantly better than the anime adaptation even beyond this issue.

Beck dubbed doesn't have "I've got a Feeling" so it can't be the definitive version.

This some weird stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnTIcTJqIn4

She one of those idols that performs in the streets?

I get the impression that she goes to an open stage, since she seems to perform with various other idols/idol groups.

From the movie, it seems she uses youtube to work for fans, since there's like an off-brand AKB-style election for independent idols.

She said she was almost picked to do an anime role and an anisong, but it fell through. The movie ends with her being picked up by Hyadain, who writes a song for her... so I get the impression that she's probably near the top of the indie idols.

What about 6 year old idols and even creepier events

No thanks. lol
The event with the 10 year olds ended with the girls in cosplay modelling for the adults though, so yeah...

not to mention no bad singing engrish to ruin the fact they're supposed to be good singers.

All this talk of indie idols reminded me of Turning Girls for the first time in ages.

 

[SliceSabre]

AKB0048 is the great idol anime ever made.

Thats a weird way to spell UtaPri

 

[Qurupeke]

Rindou-samaaaaaaa

I'm not sure if this means that we'll eventually get S2 or that it's never happening...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Musical Crow I need.

 

[DNAbro]

Man it's amazing how generic Granblue Fantasy is. I was hoping it could at least spark my interest if I started watching.

 

[Ascheroth]

Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka? aka What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? aka SukaSuka 04

That bait and switch though. Although it was kinda obvious.
Still one of my favorite shows of the season. Tiat was cute and Willem continues to be a great MC.
Only slightly disappointed at the end there. Why no hug equality!??? That would have been perfect.

Bastard Teacher 05

Surprisingly, this has solidified itself as the second funnest LN show of the season for me. There have also been no more shitty fanservice/trashy LN scenes after the second episode, well, outside of their dumb uniforms.
That illusion scene cracked me up.

 

[firehawk12]

All this talk of indie idols reminded me of Turning Girls for the first time in ages.

lol I forgot this existed.

Also, that's exactly what she was doing. She lives in a cramped bedroom with a futon on the floor and a wall taken up by computer and streaming equipment.

If you approach it from the duckroll angle, it's the best phantasy show by virtue of being the only one on the market. lol

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

That's a bad statement to make in a season with an unusually high number of fantasy anime.

(The best currently airing fantasy anime is Eccentric Family S2.)

 

[MikeHattsu]

Ain't that more magical realism or whatever?

 

[e_i]

Edit: Fine.

 

[nintendoman58]

So, [REDACTED] is gone, huh?

Can't talk about that here, I'm afraid.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I think the subgenre designation would be urban fantasy.

Fantasy in Kyoto.

When are you gonna have a fantasy in Kyoto

And PonyCanyon puts out physical releases of Kuromukuro in July, within two weeks of each other for $120 a piece in half series sets, at the same Magi and Hyouka are coming out. My wallet is going to commit seppuku.

I feel like I missed something...

It involved a cat sound.

 

[zulux21]

seven deadly sins (the ecchi one from this season) episode 1.

It wasn't as bad as queen's blade............

yup... that is about the best I can say about it.... was just as horrible as expected.

If you want to watch some light hentai give it a go.... if not avoid avoid avoid...

*sighs*

curse me and my deciding to watch at least 3 episodes of everything dubbed on funimation.com.

oh well, still likely won't be the worst thing I watch from doing that lol.

They're simudubbing it? I'm surprised.

 

[firehawk12]

Found that Rio Hiiragi song... it really does sound like a Hyadain song. Or at least it reminds me of the Nichijou song lol.

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I mean, we probably should talk about it. But I understand why we can't here, and we have Twitter/Discord/IRC.

 

[Szadek]

Bahamut Virgin Dragon - Ep. 4
This episode felt like it was 5 mintues long. I was very surprised that it was over already.
Good stuff.

 

[zulux21]

They're simudubbing it? I'm surprised.

yup... they are also doing Tsugumomo.

full list here.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Alice & Zouruko - 05

One of the stranger anime I've seen.

What you gonna do after witnessing magical guns shoot down disembodied, burly arms?

Why, eat a high quality Snickers of course!

I can't say this episode was all that engaging really but the show's so odd I'll keep watching for now.

 

[kewlmyc]

yup... they are also doing Tsugumomo.

full list here.

Wow, that Crunchyroll deal is paying off. That list is massive.

 

[Qurupeke]

Snickers satisfies.

 

[phaze]

I didn't think I even registered such things but the line work in Granblue is incredibly off putting.

 

[zulux21]

Wow, that Crunchyroll deal is paying off. That list is massive.

yup it was that way last season as well. basically they are dubbing most of the things that crunchy has.

still hoping that next season they announce a dub for re:zero... for sure want to show that one to a few friends but a few of my friends will only watch dubbed stuff.
