Haha, yeah, I stupidly thought last season I should "just keep it to three episodes each" since the season was relatively light. Now I'm looking at between 15 to 20 shows for my preview and regretting ever having started down this path! Oh well, it's been a trip catching up for this season; I've spent the last couple of weeks binge watching Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, and Rage of Bahamut as I hadn't seen them before and wanted to cover the sequels seasons, so I'm pretty pumped for tomorrow.

Not a bad way to spend the past few weeks if you ask me, lol.

My wife and I are. Just this Saturday though. If we're going to review the season we can't really futz around at the convention for more than one day. We're mostly going to see the Attack on Titan watch party and the Crunchy and Funimation industry panels. And of course hit up the dealer and artist alley rooms.

They knew the real endgame, just not necessarily how to get there. The staff has been pretty consistent in stating that the ending does reflect their original intentions, regardless of the time slot changes, and I'd say it definitely wrapped up the most important stuff. It's more like they had to rush through certain things in order to reach that point, because of the time they were forced to spend on redundant material in early R2. That and they embraced the craziness of certain twists along the way. In any case, I am glad that you enjoyed the show.
There are a few loose threads, which might be used for a third season or movie sequel, but in my opinion they're not very significant ones on paper (for example, the origins of Geass might be nice trivia yet doesn't have much direct relevance, unless you want to tie that back to a new threat).
Ghost in The Shell 2017
Surpassed my expectations greatly. It's really astonishing when a film manages to do that... It was really, really bad. Felt like a non cohesive series of set pieces for the most part. I may have liked some stuff, like the general atmosphere the movie was going for, if everything else wasn't terrible. ScarJo was bad too.

Nope. I was unable to put my cosplay together and I hate going out of costume. I used to do panels for it, Katsucon and ACen but to be honest I just don't feel like I belong in that crowd of people that go anymore. Seems it's more of an excuse for socially awkward people to be loud and abrasive at each other as a release and what's popular gets exploded in attention while what is more subdued or unknown get crushed to the side. Which is generally how things go anyways but you'd figure in a niche space specifically catering to the hardcore there would be more variety. And then those who actually DO like the lesser known stuff you like are even more socially uncomfortable and talk about boobs instead of philosophy and you wonder why you bother anymore.
I had a panel called "Anime and Manga You Haven't Heard of But Should!" and it met with varying levels of success/indifference.

Scum's Wish - END
This was the stopping point for the manga as well, correct?
In the end, the point of this ending was to show just how much Hanabi had matured emotionally through everything she endured that school year. The ending was pretty surprising as you would expect normally that
The strong point of this anime was in depiction of the confusion and pain felt emotionally when dealing with certain relationships. Trying to learn how to explore emotions through physical means is never a good way to go about things as Hanabi accurately learned and described in that final episode.
The show was damn uncomfortable to watch at times because the confusion emotional immaturity came though to the viewer perfectly, you wanted to hate Akane, you wanted to shake Hanabi from her stupidity and Mugi you just wanted to kick in the balls for being a douche'. And Sensei, well, his point of view wasnlt fleshed out very much, but it was clear his wish was to save Akane from herself and prove to her there was a better way to be a part of something. Bottom line is that this show was excellent and really left it's mark on what it was trying to get across.

Aww yeah. Seems kinda short for their usual PV though, season 3 pv spoiled us silly by starting off with Radiant Force.
How are they going to top things this time round?

Alright.
(Slight spoilers)
I guess that means they will adapt just one arc. That's good, but it means they will have to start the third season with the most boring arc, or have the whole S3 be nothing but that boring arc. Welp.

Many, LN released 7 volumes currently, anime ended in first half of volume 3(adapted ~2.5 volumes).
gah... I was looking forward to Reset and I was planning on watching Armed Girls but only if funimation did a dubcast of it, guess I will have to wait for sentai to dub it now and watch it then.
oh well as long as clockwork planet doesn't go anime strike exclusive I will be fine

More series should be adapted like AoT.
Let the manga get, and stay, ahead of the anime. Adapt arcs after they are completed. Air in seasons.
If the anime and manga are too close to each other, you have redundancies where the same content is being released in multiple formats closely enough that the consumer gets little added value.
For instance, why would an anime viewer of one piece want to read the manga? They want to see the story animated. They nust finished Zou, and totland is just around the corner. The manga isn't far enough ahead that they'd get that much out of spoiling what was to come in their preferred medium.
Similarly, why would a manga viewer want to see the anime? The anime doesn't add to the experience of one piece;it detracts from it. The blanks and in betweens of the still panels are filled in more poorly than our imaginations. The story outline isn't meaningfully expanded upon. And the content that does get adapted is needlessly padded due to concerns of maintaining spacing from the manga so that there's enough manga content to produce and preproduce without a lapse in new episode releases. The story is so recent in the manga that it's also fresh in readers' minds. There's no appeal to see the same events you literally just read in animated format, especially in such a downgraded format.

Tales of X - S1 END
I kind of hated the way this show jumped all over the place with its scene transitions, as it often led to a lack of build-up that was all kinds of underwhelming. One moment we'd have the party enjoying a breathtaking view with epic music in the background, the next they'd have a short conversation en-route to their next destination, and a couple seconds later they'd be arriving there, leading to a game-y feeling of having the party just fast-travel around places without ever getting to flesh out the world.
Basically, it felt like the plot was heavily condensed and rushed so it'd cover what it did within a single cour, and that really hurt both the character arcs and worldbuilding alike. Also, what the heck were those two episodes about another Tales with the demoneater girl as the protagonist? Was that supposed to be some kind of ad for a more recent game in the franchise, or is actually going to matter in the other show's plot in later seasons? It really felt out of place, and took up a sixth of the first seasons' episodes, which further aggravated the feeling of the main show being in fast-forward mode or something.

These Sentai deals better not lock none-US viewers out.
episode 5 and 6 were ads for Berseria.
ThatChairMan

Pretty much just an ad for Berseria, which came out around that time. It's a prequel to Zestiria, and later episodes in X do try and tie into it by dropping names and events from the game.
why the laugh?
it's a legit worry given that sentai has the rights to no game no life already, so it wouldn't be surprising if they picked up clockwork planet. Also wouldn't be surprising if crunchy or funimation got it either though.
or do you find it odd that I am excited for a new series from the creator of my 2014 AOTY no game no life

Just how many anime will it take for you to warm up to anime strike?

I'm pretty sure that poster actually works for Sentai so, uh, take that as confirmation that Clockwork Planet will be Anime Strike exclusive.

That's pretty much the trend that most Manga Adaptations have been following for the past decade or so. With the exception of Fairy Tail, all the more recent "big" manga adaptations have followed the seasonal model (Bakuman, Hajime no Ippo, Gintama, Kuroko no Basket, Haikyuu, MHA, Food Wars, OPM).
This feeds me. Once it stabilizes I'm going to have a field day delivering crow to all the would-be believers.
