It's not like there aren't three or four or more of these sorts of LN adaptations in just about every season.
animesos is busy lately.
The sad thing is, I used to know people like the first one...
Its Deathscythe in Japanese though. Toonami fucked up the name of that really badly.
This is true but sometimes you get gems like Hataraku Maou and none of these sound like its gonna be that.

Maybe UY will hit full steam for you by then!
I think Duo refers to himself as a god of death a few times. Couple episode titles like that too but no one wants to see an image of Duo.
That's probably just marketing! And it's not like fantasy anime in the past have been devoid of fanservice either!!
Please, just let me have this.

Wait what?
Oh, I don't doubt Duo probably did refer to himself as a shinigami. I was more making a comment of how awful a "Gundam God of Death" is name-wise.
Delaying the inevitable.
fuck I'm going to get into beybladez or something and then brainwash myself into believing it's fun like I've done with other things aren't I

Will Yamakan save anime this time too?
Australia, correct? I heard about that earlier.
I would love to see Madoka on US TV somehow someday....
Hint, Hint Toonami!
What the hell.. Duo is clearly the most handsome (and the best) pilot on the series!
Gatchaman Crowds Episode 03
Utsu-tsu looks pretty cute when she's actually wearing clothes for once. She really needs more scenes.
Overall, a pretty ugly episode for the most part though I remember tsuritama having its share of QUALITY at times too. It's a shame it looked so bad in areas because I enjoyed this episode quite a bit despite all that. The second half was really fun as it segued into a more serious atmosphere with different situations happening simultaneously. Next episode looks to be an exciting one. Also, the soundtrack is really impressing me. There was a specific song playing as things were happening near the end that sounded really nice. Definitely gotta check out the OST when it gets released.

No one is as handsome as Treize.
We're heading into the hypest season in the last five years.

Oh that's pretty cool, although I'm not sure how Au handles the kids network, soo ouuuhh yeah.
There's a reason Miliardo's code name is "Sex Marquis".

I don't think that means they have no right to exist.
Did I miss a Space Dandy announcement over the weekend?

I'm just saying, cutting out LN adaptations would cut out a good amount of the worst crap in anime/manga/Japan.
It's getting announced at Otakon.

Yeah, Ai seems a little too high spirited for everything that's going on, at least in the first two episodes.
Remember the rash of eroge adaptations from 5 years ago? LN adaptations stamped that scourge out. Removing LNs would just move us back to eroge or whatever the lowest common denominator for entertainment would become.
Cool.
Mobage adaptations. God help us all if that ever comes to pass.

You wouldn't get that. Without LNs you'd just see more adaptations of trashy manga or other things you wouldn't want to watch.

I just want to expel all the trash from society so it can be a better place for the rest of us. Is that too much to ask?!
Sengoku Collection was an adaptation of a Mobage game. Also, Driland is an adaptation of a GREE game. Well, "adaptation" in a loose sense here.

Today's the day~ the sun is shining~ the SAO is dubbed~ and we are getting asun--
Genshiken Nidaime 04:
I feel like there's an arc somewhere that I missed, because characters tend to pop in that I've never seen or heard of before and they aren't really introduced at all.
At least comifes was sort of interesting. They're still over reliant on Hato-kun's crossdressing to build any sort of drama (Which restroom will he useeeee?!) but it wasn't quite as heavy handed this time around.
Sue's the best. She deserves Ogiue's panties.

We had pretty decent mobile game adaptations lately.
At some point rewatching becomes an option.
That or learning Japanese to consume every last associated work.
Like never. You might perhaps translate the two as Grim Reaper, instead? Like I get this whole otaku thing anyway.
LN became popular medium for adaptation material because its bring easy profit (if the anime not became hit, its became effective ad for the print)
And I think another reason of it because its so easy to make project out of it (they can easily stretch 1-3 book for 13 episode anime)
Its much less problem to making structure of adaptation than manga that maybe gonna stop at weird point or long eroge and hell maybe even the actual novel.. LN's just very simple to make 13-2x episode of it, ho hassle, easy profit.

It's gonna take more than one okay show to make me mourn the hypothetical death of the light novel. The only thing in its favor for me is that LN adaptations are probably squeezing out worse crap.
Well I mean if I was the damn King of the World and I dressed as well as him and had as much money and power as him you better believe I'd look good.
The man has hilarious eyebrows and nobody cares because those eyebrows have more political power than like, half the UN.
Indeed, my good sir. Indeed.
The Khushrenada eyebrow is majestic.
This.
At first LNs were a breath of fresh air against all the eroge shit. We got FMP, Haruhi, Spice and Wolf and all that good stuff. Then the industry caught on.
If they get tired of squeezing the LNs, they'll go back to eroge or shitty manga. They're not gonna be adapting legit novels for no other reason than there being not that many legit adaptable novels in the first place.

I went to sleep and stayed away from the thread until I watched everything, sorry for the late answers.
I think I'll never get to the point of staff whoring, but it's nice to know a little bit more about some people, since I decided to watch Doremi after I looked at things Umakoshi worked on ( I was thinking of watching Goldfish Warning), after I finished HeartCatch. Looking up again on MAL,
. lol
How much is he involved in Mushishi?
lol, that's nice, I need to find the translation somewhere.
Yes, I did.
Since I'm talking to you, I would watch this again in japanese, even without subs. Ramon-sensei. lol
I did it already, 8 months ago. leaving out the genderswap part.
I'm debating how to prolong 13 episodes of Naisho, I already don't want it to end.

Eroge/VN are in brink of dead atm.. I don't think you should worried we back to that phase again.
Manga adaptation became hit again recently though.

What do you mean there aren't that many adaptable novels?
I mean, business practicality is one thing, and I understand that, but there's nothing inherent in the medium that prevents animation from adapting just about any novel out there.
