They ate all my cheese and helped spread the Bubonic plague!

There must have been good people among those deaths.

They were mostly European.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Hey, part of the reason that I'm actually able to watch Sengoku Collection is that the designs are the usual drab otaku pander cranked up to insane levels! The stuff in Oda Nobuna is just passable enough to come off as soulless rather than actively on industrial-strength crack. It's that bad > boring philosophy again!

Aah, I see.

It's because those cat designs are up to no good again which is more disrespectful to the figures on which they are based!

Right?

 

[madp]

Sounds like a terrible philosophy.

Hey, man, at least if I'm feeling revulsion it's a sign that my mind is being stimulated.

We should just compare them at the end of the season and see what was worse!

This is pretty much a given!

Aah, I see.

It's because those cat designs are up to no good again which is more disrespectful to the figures on which they are based!

Right?

That looks more loli than even Tokugawa Ieyasu or Tsukuhara Bokuden from Sengoku Collection.

 

[dakkumauji]

That looks like a tiger on her head than a cat.

Well, I'm certainly not disagreeing with you on that.

 

[firehawk12]

So more focus on karuta? It makes me sad to see them focusing more on the one aspect that makes the anime bad.

It's the sports show problem where all the text is interested in is the sport and not the characters.

The only good thing is that

Spoiler

we'll see more of Arata, the Kanna-killer of this series.

 

[PdotMichael]

That's boring. Oda Nobuna is already the better show.

Well it is pretty much a mashup of Britain, Ireland and everything in between there. With tennis, Shakespeare, Queen Titania and riverdancing, they are covering everything.

It's not easy to creat realistic british characters like L.

 

[Chet Rippo]

Ladies VS Butlers! 8

Sounds like a job for Hyouka!

For summer vacation, the servants are made to go with the ladies to their homes to learn more about them. It was a fun beach episode, and I can always enjoy more Flameheart-sama.

Never give up Daichi!

That's why I feel that REAL is the only sports manga that gets it right. Characters first, wheelchair basketball second. Too bad it doesn't have an anime yet

Oda Nobuna 1

This is dumb.

 

[Narag]

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse 2

Oh hey, censored graphic violence. That ruins even the exploitative shock value that might have redeemed this.

Spoiler

Now I get why they didn't really introduce anyone in the first ep since they were destined to be killed off by the second. :lol

And just when I think I'm about out, they

Spoiler

introduce a new mech and pull me right back in! Hinting that the protag levelled the fuck up after the closing time skip didn't hurt either.

Fuck.

There's bad and then there's this

 

[Firemind]

Jinrui something something 2

That must have been one helluva drug.

Roughnecks?

 

[Firemind]

Starship Troopers with mechs?

 

[madp]

Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse 2

There's bad and then there's this

 

[Thud]

Not sure what to watch. I rather wait till something catches my eye.

 

[Narag]

Maybe the schoolgirl stuff was just a feint and it'll pick up.

Roughnecks?

It's not that high quality.

Starship Troopers with mechs?

Already done in '88.

 

[dakkumauji]

That's boring. Oda Nobuna is already the better show.

We need something to show the results of our time wasted of watching both shows.

afaik, BGBW wrote something something similiar

 

[Ultimadrago]

The Ambition of Oda Nobuna 1
Man, this isn't going to be easy even with the gimmick of the MC leveraging his knowledge of history.
Truly a noble goal.

All those historical figures.

And this about sums it up.

So...are you going to keep watching?

afaik, BGBW wrote something something similiar

I see.

 

[Narag]

Someone has to if only to serve as a cautionary tale to the rest.

I have commented that L does depict the London commuter stereotypes very well.

 

[Steroyd]

Kuroko's Basketball - 14

I've been impartial to the old OP, but I don't like this new one any better.

And it looks like Aomine is going to get into Kagami's head, so this should be interesting.

 

[Firemind]

London commuters are barefoot?

 

[SDBurton]

History bombs.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

La Storia della Arcana Famiglia 2

Jolly is probably in the running for the best looking Alchemist in media, at this point in time, and whoever his va is, is pretty nice. Im glad they are giving him and the other family members screentime, even with the extensive focus on Nova and Liberta. Really like cheering both on, probably more so Liberta as he is a bit better than Nova, however with the after credits portion

Spoiler

Nova great singing!

.

They made Felicita so strong, though hopefully Liberta and Nova, are too.

Those are pretty bad, but at least Total Eclipse doesn't have the art of the VNs.

 

[BGBW]

London commuters are barefoot?

London commuters must carry brollies at all the time and will hardly talk to others. Also if someone does something they don't like on public transport, for example listen to their music too loud, they will not say anything about it and just think angry thoughts.

 

[Reknoc]

I have commented that L does depict the London commuter stereotypes very well.

Rude and pushy?

 

[Femmeworth]

SHAFT wouldn't have any idea how to make a show like that without animating any of it. There is a lot of action in this one.

I think you missed the obvious joke.

 

[Ultimadrago]

*salute*

Atrocious.

Now now, he's a true hero. Don't diminish his status with comparisons to myself.

Is there a consensus on what is watchable this season?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Is there a consensus on what is watchable this season?

Thus far, regulars have seem to enjoy Jinrui, Binbougami, Natsuyuki Rendezvous and Sword Art Online.

I will give a personal vote for Jinrui, you should give it a shot.

 

[Ezalc]

The show with the suicidal bread.

 

[SDBurton]

Don't forget season 2 of Yuru Yuri.

 

[Firemind]

Not really. No, wait, someone liked the love show with the rocking abs. That's a 100% like ratio.

Sword Art Online of those four.

 

[BGBW]

Rude and pushy?

If I want to be clear: The Northern stereotype of Londoners who are apparently surprised that people in London will look at you as if you've just flashed them for just trying to say hello. Though I suppose the keeping to oneself nature is often associated with rudeness.

London stereotype of London commuters is probably just being rude and pushy but that because everyone hates each other. No one will say anything about it though, unless you give them a pen and paper.

I just made an observation that a British character displayed a stereotype not usually shown in foreign media i.e. they weren't a posh toff or a cockney geeza. I have also said the mangaka probably has no idea what they were depicting had a ring of truth to it.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Now now, he's a true hero. Don't diminish his status with comparisons to myself.

Apologies.

Don't forget season 2 of Yuru Yuri.

I didn't.

 

[Jex]

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Episode 02

Yeah this is pretty much the most hilarious show of the season (so far at least). Sorry Binbougami Ga!

Best usage of Ave Maria I've seen in a while.

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 2
I don't want to post any imagine would uh, spoil things, but this was a pretty funny episode. If you enjoyed the absurdities from last week, it only gets more insane here.

To think there were doubters last week when people pointed out that Jinrui is an amazing comedy.

Also, who the hell funded this show?

 

[Crash Station]

Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 2

My opinion on this show hasn't really changed from last week. It still feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be. It's too subdued and dark to be an effective comedy and too light-hearted to be something effectively dark.

I did find the translation glasses and the adjusting amusing, but that's about it. Don't think I'll be watching any more.

Well I'm not really surprised people would give up being pleasant if they had to deal with the hell of London transport nearly every day. I only had to deal with it for a few hours on Wednesday when I was down there and I already wanted to push everyone down the escalators.

Maybe the author is reasonably well travelled and has had to dealt with London first hand!

 

[dakkumauji]

Have the moe~ified the European Dark ages yet?

An unexplored time period!

 

[SDBurton]

I didn't.

Much better.
