That's why you should subconsciously forget those flashforward scenes in shows like this soon after you see them, that way things stay fresh.
At least that's what I seem to be doing since I honestly can't recall this scene at all anymore, while still being able to tell you everything else that happened in the first episode
The sequence that never happened in the show and got retconned for worse designs too.
Love Live! School Idol Project. Probably just another reason it is considered one of the greatest anime shows of our time.

I think saying it never happened is slightly too nit-picky.
I don't disagree that it never happened in that exact way, but that scene does basically play out in a similar fashion and it is an pretty accurate judge of the end-game of the series.
(Shame they didn't keep the designs).

Wasn't that a flashback scene in the first episode of World End? Specifically, of the one woman Willem loved, but lost?

There's a flash forward and a flash back in the first episode. One at the beginning, the other at the end.
Not sure if it'll end up paying off or not but Boruto's looked rather promising since it showed off the state of the world, state of the main character, and gave a timeframe for when he'd arrive at just that point.

I only remember the opening sequence, but I guess that's a good thing in this situation.

They had one job with LWA. Make the show about techno witch. And they failed.

Actually the opening sequence was the flash forward. The flashback was at the end of the episode.

Man I think it's the repetitive episode format, but I have a hard time finishing Akiba's trip. Shame since I enjoyed the first few episodes.
You are never the only one on the internet.
I remember the flashback but not the flashforward.
Looks like my brain knows what to prioritize.
I'm, generally speaking, enjoying it, the latest episode was fun despite being very dumb sometimes. I don't think I'd describe it as a bad show but as a disappointing one, as it rarely manages to match the OVA's quality and it's definitely not as enjoyable as that. Hell, even LWA 2 is far better. Also, there are some episodes that are downright bad, especially on the first cour. I find it hard to get overly excited for such a show.
And I feel somewhat bad for people that will sit to binge watch it...

I am enjoying LWA greatly because I kept my expectations in check.

Huh?
Now, I've really lost it. I thought that was a flashback to Willem's prior life..
From the opening:
Chtholly
Their hair must change in battle, or these aren't the same girls as the current ones:
My mind is numb right now.

Being able to download Amazon Strike anime greatly increases its value in the case an anime isnt ever released physically (please let Re:Creators get a BD release, Battery too).
Her hair changes from blue to red in combat. Notice how in the flashforward the strands of her hair slowly shift from blue to red right before she falls. That might be some indicator or whatever of how much life she has left in that if her hair is completely red then time's up.

I guess they will spend more time explaining it as that battle approaches. I was under the impression that was the "one love" he had prior, but maybe that was only his sister he was referring to? He was a lone warrior from the flashbacks in ep.3

I agree, it's confusing and I said as much in my review of the first episode. It's a flash forward as Jarmel said her hair color changes.
Nah I think you're confused again. At the end of Ep. 1 there's a flash back showing him having cared for a bunch of kids/orphans or whatever when he was much younger. That flashback is then continued, I think in Ep. 2 where we see him with several other sword wielders, before we get to Ep. 3 where we learn he was cursed and all that pizzazz.
I think it's an understated problem WorldEnd's first episode had, where it wasn't really clear what was a flashback or forward.
Cornbread78
Member
Yeah, that was pretty confusing, but now it makes more sense. I'll have to go back and watch the first three episodes with a different perspective now. Not that I mind because I really do like the show.
Now I know I need to go drink heavily before watching the final couple episodes and we witness that all go down in the present....

Kinos Journey ep. 6-7 The Coliseum
That guy thought Kino was a dude as well, lolololol "Kino-kun"
Well damn, that was pretty intense. Fitting ending for a country as fu(ked up as this one. Kino is a straight up bada$$ for fighting through everything and finding a way for a fitting ending Damn good stuff.
That guy thought Kino was a dude as well, lolololol "Kino-kun"
Besides the ones mentioned he also did the soundtracks for Thunderbolt Fantasy, Guilty Crown, Blue Exorcist, Seven Deadly Sins (not the one from this season
), Seraph of the End (as well as the OP and ED of the first season) and Xenoblade Chronicles X.And Kabaneri as well. The best one is probably TBF for how silly it is, lol

Yeah I'd actually looked him up after last night. Explains why some of those soundtracks really stood out to me as so memorable.

Guilty Crown, Owari no Serafu, Sawano[nzk], are my favorite soundtracks of his. KLK and Kabaneri are probably the weakest ones, BLue Exorcist has some good ones as well, but some of the better tracks for BLue Exorcist arent composed by him. Thunderbolt Fantasy has some good songs too.
Ok, I "need" to ask this... what are the odds we see a Vampire Hunter D3 at some point? Not to derail, but I'm sure most of you have a better idea than me
There is currently a project in motion between Unified Pictures and Digitial Frontier for a new Vampire Hunter D anime series, ten 1-hour long episodes per year, adapting stuff from the novels. It was announced in 2015 and progress seems slow, but it's not dead. Currently the stakeholders involved are also releasing a comic based on an unreleased short story by the original author - Message from Mars. The first issue is out and the second one has been delayed for a while now.

So rumors are abound that Universal and Sony may try to buy Funimation.
That's not actually too surprising. What is surprising to me is how Funimation apparently "generates more than $100 million in annual sales, with growth exceeding 10 percent a year since 2013."

Wow at those funimation numbers. Would there be any downside to such an acquisition?

Probably, or rather definitely something more for readers than the general audience as I dont think it was THAT great to really get people interested, hopefully the tv anime handles better.
It could have used more explosions and actions, but I loved the friendship/love aka Rival aspect of it between Asta and Yuno, It was sweet and the background scenes or even moments with Yuno silently watching Asta and being inspired by him was a great moment continually.
angela doing the ED was pretty nice.
Love Yuno expressions.

Would make sense for Sony, but they just finished consolidating their entire corporate structure a few years ago...
Would also open up/expand a new marketplace through direct PSN store sales.

The article says that Universal ended up deciding to pass on a buyout offer and Funimation doesn't seem eager to sell themselves to another company, so I'm not sure if anything will end up actually happening in this regard. It does make sense that the niche anime market is one of the strongest remaining areas for DVD/BD sales.

Never saw this series back when it first hit but was always meaning to check it out because of the giant killer teddy... bears? What better time to pick stuff up than a quiet season for me.
Some jokes went way over my head but overall I enjoyed it, seems like it'll be fun and silly times.

Clockwork Planet 05
Huh, was it just me or did this episode look noticeably better than the rest of the show at times?
I was also never a fan of the crass 'humor' with that one message Marie received, and it's not different in the anime.
I was also curious how a certain big thing would look in the anime, and well:
Also this guy was way too short-lived:
...I'm also not exactly sure why I'm spending this much effort on write-ups for a show I wouldn't even really recommend watching, lol.

They're certainly speeding through things quite a bit. They cut down the entire infiltration chapter of that one cyborg group to 2 minutes or something and skipped all the school parts (again), but did have enough time for a beach part and fanservice, of course.

Beyblade Burst Episode 14: The Battle We Promised (EngDub)!
Injury plot played out how I expected though didnt anticipate Shu actually becoming even stronger with the injury, wow. I hope his arm wont fall off or something, mine hurts just imagining him still going through with things.
