Ah, that's awesome. I think I need to run back through the TV series before watching anything that's come after.

Oh I think i remember, your write up on it now.
It still can't be worse than SS:Omega though!

Having seen both, it's worse than SS: Omega.
I've seen SS: Omega up to ep 77 ... it's not great but there was good moments within.
There are parts of SS: omega that were damn fine.
But B&S ? lol.
Thanks for this. Enjoyable short. Very creative!
hmmm. I do quite like the design!

I got the impression that Lindow was talking about himself in that scene. That ties into why he was campaigning for Lenka, since Lenka reminds him of his younger self.

Year 2 was so good. I wish we got SS Omega year 3. We needed more Subaru.

I was watching SoreMachi while it was still airing. I remember myself not getting anything about pretty much the whole first half. I remember finding things neither funny nor interesting. I can't recall to tell you what changed for the second half. I'm not sure if it was the series that changed something or my point of view shifted somehow,maybe?
Too make things short (and again sorry about the vagueness) I ended up loving it, even those episodes that I didn't like at the time. Something about the cast, their dialogue and their interactions just felt so brilliant and fun at the end.
Of course, it's still comedy. It's really hard for tastes to allign when it comes to them. At the end of the day it could just not be to your liking and it's perfectly ok. Unless it's something like Fumoffu where you need to have a ridiculously bad taste to not like!

Game of Laplace 2
Does no one care that Kobayashi is a sociopath that can only find joy in life via people being murdered horribly?
I mean I got no problem with it, but you'd think at least one of the other characters would point it out, or hell, even have the direction focus in on that.

Still enjoying this, will keep watching. I'm not minding the monster of the week so far since it's world building.
Rokka and the Six Braves 03
Fremy (Flamie?) reminds me of Mushibugyo, so I'm a fan. Her costume is stupid though. I'll be honest though, I'm not really paying attention to all the exposition so far. Hopefully it gets more interesting next episode with the Braves all fighting each other for what I assume is a misunderstanding.
GATE 03
I was dreading the introduction of the haremettes, but they weren't bad. Rory's design and personality we've seen so far are cool (rory = loli, I see what you did there, Japan). The other two don't have enough going for them for me to either like or hate them. I wish the CG was better though. Also, the random black screen with white text and having random screen cut-ins is really odd and takes getting used to. Reminds me of something Shaft would do but with less charm.

It's fun to see more of this, I like how they're setting up individual character arcs with the girls that didn't get the spotlight last season, rock girl for example.
I'm 100% shipping this btw.
I rewatched it and I think you're probably right, I guess his backstory will be revealed later on.

Huh, seeing some Umaru hate earlier in the thread. Expected. The character is insufferable and only gets worse as the series goes, at least where I dropped it. Maybe it got better after that and people actually found out her secret.
Maybe you should watch more eps first, eps 4 (or 5) had most memorable pun themed joke ever

Ahahaha, they were far more committed to the troll than the manga was. Reaching Platonic Heart levels of misdirection.
This have an OT? If not, it needs to with no indication of just what kind of show it really is.

Well I didn't think the Vape leader would stab Rui's note in order to kill her. Hopefully Tsubasa does something to protect Rui. I liked the cast beating up some Red Crowds ass.

B&S however awful it is, at least has the decency to end within 13 episodes. I'll take a short, concentrated dose of awful over 90 something eps of suffering. There is probably more badness in those last episodes of Omega than in whole of blade anyway. ;p

Man the directing is so good, the back and forth between the battle and aftermath on first half is really well done, give this already overdone scenario new color, good shit Hirao.
There's also many bigger implication that just told behind 1-2 dialogue line and visual clue (I'll leave that to Jarmel)
Hirao y u no direct UBW ;_________________;
Next eps best waifu coming, I'm ready.

Omega alternated between bad and good during season 1 .. it was a mix of ideas and some of them were ok , and the rest weren't.
Then season 2 came it was legit good.
So the first 51 eps of omega are definitely enjoyable.
Season 3 happenned however, and then everything went to sh*t
They actually went bad to the bad things of season 1 and made them WORSE

It's nice to see more fighting, especially with that awesome battle music.
I don't think Rui is going to die here though, this is just a way to start some arc where he has to question his ideals.
Definitely stoked for the next episode.

The most interesting thing about this show is the camera angles they use for boobs. Like wow, getting really creative here! Maybe Ufotable should be doing smut! Although FSN is a porn vn so maybe they already do
To be serious, other then looking good and being neatly directed there's not much here so I'm dropping it I guess. Shame.

The joke at the end of Part A was just cruel. Tease Gintoki's samurai days backstory and then it was just a Gundam reference at the end orz
second screenshot isnt mine but to lazy to go back and get it sorry if it drives anyone insane

God Eater 2
That was a lot like the first episode. Not quite as many cool match cuts in it, though I really liked how they handled the part where Lenka was being rushed to treatment. It's one of the better executions of that sort of scene I've seen.
Still, it's a dumb show. There's nothing to any of the characters. Maybe there's some Eva stuff going on with the Aegis Plan and the committee of Fenrir bases around the world, but unless something significant changes about it, I'd be surprised if I stick around past the next episode.

With the first Swimming All Night events over, we now have essentially have confirmation that KyoAni won't be producing an autumn show. The two big dates (anniversary/Free! events) have gone by without word. The next possible date would be at Summer Comiket and that's too late for a show to air the next season. It's more likely we'd see something for Winter or another movie around that time. Following that is the second Swimming All Night events on 9/20, but that should have a High Speed! trailer instead.
Speaking of High Speed!, additional details were revealed today on the official website. In contrast to most late night anime, High Speed! will be shown in 120 theatres across Japan on opening weekend. Most late night are between 16-30 with some hitting 40. This is a level that the notaminA properties, Love Live, Madoka, and K-On! have hit, so that states the scale of popularity for the franchise. With that many theatres, it's either going to be a huge hit and earn over 1 billion yen or a bust. I could see a slight middle ground, but that may not be profitable enough on its own. Merchandise sales should be very good though and could make up any loss of fees for all those showings. Advance tickets go on sale next Saturday, so that should be interesting to see.

It feels like fujioshi are underserved when it comes to anime movies, so I would have to imagine it'd do well.

Dig the OP. How Lenka passes by each member and changes in a way, that's cool. It isn't better than the games' OPs though, specially the Burst versions, those are 10x better, but oh well. Here they are for those who are curious:
God Eater Burst OP
God Eater 2: Rage Burst
I am happy that this adaptation is something that I enjoy. I too often see myself loving the source material and then getting an Anime that totally butchers it. This is however very nice, if feels like its own thing, and has an original story of its own, but it also pays homage to the first game of the series by borrowing some story elements, characters and primary and secondary equipment, enemies and even their attack patterns and such.
I am a huge fan of the art as I said last week so for me it's all good there as well. The direction in this is superb. I love how dynamic and different the camera angles are in this show too. This right here was mint:

I assume her nerd-form being terrible is just one of those things that will be a part of her character forever because that seems to be the whole charm of the character.
Monster Musume 1-2
So far, so good. I like the concept of the story and the interactions between the characters. I don't really mind the lewd parts as I'm enjoying it for what it is. It's a good distraction. One thing I dislike about this is how they draw the protag's eyes though.
God Eater 1
The animation was just superb and I really enjoyed the action sequences. I know much of the story from playing GE:B but let's see how it will deviate from here with the introduction of new characters.
Shinometa 1-2
Crazy concept but it works. It has enough comedy and plot to keep me intrigued.
Okusama 1-2
I don't know why I'm watching this anime. The art is not good and the animation's not just up to far. The story is a bit generic and it's pure fanservice for those who enjoy these kind of things. Maybe I'll give it until the third episode before dropping it.
Planning to watch Prison School and Charlotte the next time I have free time. Want to add Working!!! in my watch list but it's just not possible to binge watch 2 seasons given my limited free time.

Well I liked Lovely Complex and His and Her Circumstances. Didn't mind Blue Spring Ride. Amagami is a favourite...but thats one step away from harems, which you may not be into. Looking at romance shows I like I tend to like shows with harem elements, but that simply may be how much those elements dominate romance anime.

Other than Blue Spring Ride, I don't think any of those are on Crunchyroll in NA. (Stocking my queue) BSR was pretty good and chill, but had one of those inconclusive anime endings...

AnoNatsu is still my favourite "traditional" romcom of recent years, but I don't know if it's streaming anywhere.
Shokugeki no Soma- 10&11
I don't even know how a show about cooking has more suspense and tension than many action shows out there.
I had been thinking, "Megumi really relies on Soma too much," then these episodes come along and put her alone and make her really have to get by based on her own skills. I was annoyed when it looked like Soma looked like he was gonna step in and save her, but then the twist came that he was to be her assistant, and it was up to her to bail the both of them out from expulsion. Really impressed with how the whole scenario played out, and its really helped to develop Megumi.
