I would argue the first episode is the best. It's very generic sure but after that it just gets insufferable imo.

Thankfully I have seen In this Corner Of the World so I don't need to take the A Silent Voice is more arty discussion even less seriously.
I'm curious how many episodes it will be/how much of the manga it will cover. Wonder if they'd go all the way to the witches forest arc.
Although I guess they can properly introduce the light novel characters in the anime lol.

I hope its Fall, Summer is too soon. Though I hope they treat it like Naruto/Shippuden, long anime.
Just finished watching A Silent Voice with my fiance. We both really enjoyed it overall, though it wasn't quite as good as I felt some people made it out to be. Some characters really felt like they didn't have much of a purpose in the film, and there were a few things I was hoping would be elaborated on that weren't. Still, the subject matter was interesting, and the visuals were great as I'd expect of a KyoAni production. A very good movie for sure, though I don't know if I'd call it great.

Okay so my comparison between Avatar and some overrated Nolan blockbuster was correct!

My current running theory is that there are two kinds of people
Those who like Benten and Senjogahara
Those who dislike Benten and Senjogahara
One side is clearly morally superior, while the other side is weak and has very bad taste

A Silent Voice - All aboard the feels trip.
So I read the manga in its entirety a few months ago in preparation for this movie. I still find it strange that it didn't just get a 12-episode anime instead but I'm glad to say I actually quite enjoyed this adaptation. It feels more like a greatest hit of the manga, getting majority of the essential plot elements to tell the story accurately and cutting out the fat.
The portion of the story that I'm disappointed that got cut in this adaptation is a lot of Shouko's mother's side story, and it's very unfortunate. A lot of her remaining resentment towards Shouya really emphasize the lasting consequences of his actions, and in the manga it was a slowburn for her to finally start forgiving him. In the manga, the flashbacks of Shouko's homelife during her time in elementary was the biggest gut punch for me, so I'm sad it was not included here in the movie.

Akashic Records 08
I'm assuming this is some sort of grand plot devised my Glenn and Re to make the true villain appear, I actually doubt Re has actually betrayed anyone.
SukaSuka 08
Yea I don't think Willem sees Cht romantically at all, I think he honestly see her as somewhat like a daughter and that is going to devastate her.

Glad Boruto isn't doing relatively well.
CR? Isn't a reflection of the anime community in general: the most popular anime being mainly shonen?

Someone is self-inserting in the series too much!
While Kaisei makes more sense if you want to imagine having a waifu, Benten makes more sense if you want to have an interesting story.

It's hard to say with studio Pierrot. I wish for a long adaptation, but they could go the twin star road again.
I am hoping for fall too, but it's probably winter 2018.
I don't think that map is a good way to judge that lol.
Even then it should tell you that Boruto is doing well enough to actually beat AoT in some places.
I mentioned it before, but I thought they went a bit too far with the explanations.
Also wanted more weird creatures
As for your spoiler:
I don't think it's that important. She could have just went down with them and left after some time, maybe after remaking her body, and join up with Killy in the next movie *fingers crossed*. Time isn't really important in Blame

Yeah I mean, it's pretty standard LN stuff and while there may be a lot of people vocally sick of LN anime, with any of the tropes and character types expected of the fantasy LN genre, there's a reason that stuff sells. Even when animated on fast forward.
I feel much the same way.

Yeah I don't think it's super important either, but I was just curious what happened to her, if I had missed it.
As for explanations. I dunno, I feel like they found a nice balance between Blame!'s normally obtuse nature and at least offering some level exposition.
Also: As far as a Black Clover adaptation goes, I'm really not excited unfortunately. I liked the manga well enough early on, even if I felt in some ways it was following too closely in Naruto's footsteps. But later on, when characters from its side novels started popping in with surprise, and certain major events got solved with a snap of the fingers, I just completely lost interest. It's a similar problem I have to the Akashic Records adaptation being on fast forward, though of course Black Clover isn't an adaptation of anything, but I felt like it sacrificed character building and opportunity for growth in a desire to string one cool moment after the next as fast as possible.

Eh, Naruto would actually compete. Boruto as a sequel can't.
Oh yes, it definitely would have been nice.
It's not so much the explanations per se that bother me, it's more about how some of them are delivered (and their reactions). One of the electrofisher dude's entire character(was it Zuteso?) was basically reacting surprised to whatever unfamiliar thing Killy or Cibo mentioned and repeating it, and then someone explaining it.
Or when they camp and Killy ignores the food, Cibo immediately goes 'His metabolism works differently, he doesn't need to eat often'.
How does she even know this?
She's a freaking head!
I dunno, stuff like that kinda irked me.

AnimeGAF, i need your help. I tried to watch Monogatari anime, but this shit is too confusing for me. I realized that I'm watching it in wrong way when Araragi said to Kanbaru that she's "third girl whose hair I'm cutting" in the last episode of Hanamonogatari. WTF, did i missed some story arks, i don't remember that he did this before, who is the other 2 girls and in what episodes did that happened? And is there any proper watch guide or something, there is too much something-monogatari sub arks in different seasons.
Dennou Coil [END]
Anyway, it was a nice series, I'd describe it as a down to Earth sci-fi that explores people. A good cast of characters, very interesting concepts about technology, good animation and, as I've said, it's probably my favourite use of CG in an anime.
Bake->Nise->Neko:Kuro->Second Series->Hana->Tsuki->Owari->Koyomi->Kizu
I don't remember what you're referring at, but it's worth noting that Hanamonogatari takes place much later than the other arcs.
I'm not sure how I feel about Sosuke's involvement to the plot. The ending could have been perfect and emotionally strong without a human antagonist. In any case, this was a really good finale. It's kind of poetic how Michiko is, pretty much, Isako's and Yasako's lovechild.

I agree,but movie was almost 2 hours long. Had reached the length limit probably to include more.
Considering the manga material,it was a nice adaptation.
I dont know about a 12 episode adaptation. Animation budget would be far less and this would affect the quality.TV age ratings are different too so this could affect the whole adaptation.
I am in the minority that liked Aku no Hana manga more than the TV adaptation. On TV characters were made to look much older,thus twisting the manga story in a sense.
you must be a huge tsundare fan and your favorite characters in anime must be raging d***s as that is the only possible way I can imagine anyone enjoying the first episode.
all of the characters in the first episode don't have a single likable thing about them #_#

Outside of doing heroic stuff for the plot I don't think they get all that more likable though.
Tsubasa and Tsukihi. You didn't miss anything, as that happened in short short stories (Tsubasa Song and Tsukihi Brushing, respectively)

That is so true, been a while since I got that turned off by a single episode. It was like the show did everything it could to make me not watch it. The only thing going for it was that it looked good.

...There is also short stories? Is this separate episodes or just little parts of episodes?

Id be fine with 50ish BLack Clover episodes, anything more than 24 is fine, I could also do with some original storylines in the anime because Yuno is so not present for many moments. And of course more Leo moments too.

Makoto hair is best hair.
That's my feeling too. Benten is a little too maliciously sadistic for my taste, especially because I like most people on the show so her being terrible to them and them worshipping her doesn't sit well with me. Senjou's way cooler than that.

Fairy Tail ep. 96-98
Fukumenkei Noise ep.7
I rewatched ep.96 to get back into the flow and went ahead through the first couple episodes of the new arc. Immediately, the show sucked me back in with it's charm and fun characters. Looks like this arc will be some fun, but the drama is already on the horizon as Carla has had some nasty images of what is to come...
Fukumenkei Noise ep.7
Oh man, the showdown is about to come.... I already feel bad for Yuzu as the dude is about to get burned by her obsession with Momo. Pretty decent twists this episode with the rival band and I'm looking forward to the endgame at the festival.
I've been getting Senjou vibes from what I've seen and heard of Benten. I haven't seen the show yet but I'd be surprised if that's the case!
Sold.
