Ugh they confirmed my suspicions, so many good moments in Haikyuu wont be adapted.

Is this actually a problem? Been thinking about picking up the manga. Isn't this arc like, really long?
Re:Zero aside, I'd say that 99% of all episode previews are pretty safe. Granted I'm only assuming that previews are 30 seconds max.

I wanted the two [mini]arcs afterwards to be animated too. Nekoma and Fukurodani deserves love.

I don't know if this is how it works, but the good news is that the budget will be bigger for each episodes? more hype scenes?

That's not how it works.

Huh that's what I thought. But now it's confirmed in my mind.

I assume what you are implying is that instead of getting the funding for 24 episodes and making 24, they would get that same funding for 24 episodes but for 10 which is definitely not how it works. Haikyuu is a pretty good looking show anyway so I don't think you would have to worry about that.

Shang getting fucked but it was nice to see what he's capable of.

The next episode seems interesting, they're already fighting the big boss and it's titled "the Enigmatic Gale". I'm guessing we finally get to know who Gui Niao really is. Wonder what they've got in store after that since there's quite a few episodes left

I was thinking more along the lines of 12/13 into 10, but yea that was my line of thinking.

It's just one match that this will be covering, so 10 episodes is plenty.

Thing about Haikyuu is that I don't really like the manga art a whole lot. It's been my hang up about picking up the manga.
I think I'm going to have the same problem with Aku no Hana...the anime has such a distinct look that the manga just looks plain and boring, which is completely against what the series is supposed to be.
Is the formal introduction of the main villain really such an immediate increase in quality? This was one of the weaker looking episodes, too.

Not sure if that is topping last week's episode of 91 Days.
Yes, yes it was.

The beginning of the Aku no Hana manga is ugly, but Oshimi's art improves vastly over the course of the series to being quite good by the end. His most recent works, especially Happiness, have very strong art.

Thunderbold Fantasy 7
I wonder why she doesnt change or do the extra stances for her sword style, being stuck on tradition and getting killed is pointless.
Funniest scene though with how her discussion with best boy ended.

Thunderbolt Fantasy 07
Puppets are the future. I hope Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 and Kizu Part 3 are puppets.
I'm not Urobotchi's biggest fan or detractor but he is great at snappy dialogue and character interactions.

Goddammit
They're going the Soma route
Though fast pacing can work wonders for Haikyuu's matches' action moments, I really hope they don't cut any story and character moments.
Thunderbolt Fantasy #7
That was great. Nice to see Shang in action even though it was forced. Seriously, fuck them. That was so obviously done on purpose, glad he gave them shit in the end. Wonder what's going to happen next.
In any case, I blame Mr. Enigmatic Gale for everything.
DiU #21
Some rough art here and there, but it was glorious nonetheless. Kira is great.
Alderamin #7
Great show continues to be great. Seriously, if you're not watching it yet, you're missing out. Definitely among the best of the season.
That general is such a stupid selfish warthirsty idiot. What kind of moron would incite a rebellion inside his country while it's at war with another one just because he doesn't like a tribe. The sad thing is that it's a pretty believable thing.
I just hope Kanna doesn't die and joins Iktas little group later on.

Alderamin Episode 7:
Finally we get some world building behind those spirits that have been around all this time. Also, we learn about the local area and the differences in religion. Anyway, enjoy the light moments because, yea, shit gets really heavy here. Like holy fuck how did we got from 0 to pitch black kind of deal.

Thunderbolt Fantasy - Episode 07
I was wondering why the "plot" seems to be moving so fast, even though this is only a 12 episode series, but this episode seems to answer some questions. It's quite obvious now that the "last boss" isn't really a last boss at all, but our friend GhostBird-kun is a strong candidate for that instead. He assembles a team of villains to help a naive girl who doesn't know much so he can steal the sword for himself, and it's clear he's testing the mysterious wanderer for some reason. Wonder what exciting crazy shit is going to happen next week.
The action sequences are so good. The puppetry is sublime. The dialogue is fun. Butch trying to write about sexism and classism is cute. This reminds me more and more of Fate/Zero lol. This show rocks!

Thunderbolt Fantasy - Episode 07
So fast, as others have said. I think in fact it has been the first serious misstep of the series. In half a episode they have cleared two of the tree big trials of their epic journey, which they have been planning around how to solve them? And not only that, the MC was out of character in some scenes, I almost hoped the series would explain it as the effect of the noxious fumes. Why would the be so fearless and offer himself to activate the giant murdery golem? Totally out of character.

I guess I should check out Thunderbolt Fantasy too.
Just worried it'll awaken something in me tho.

There's nothing to be afraid of. It's the equivalent of watching period dramas with over the top special effects.

91 Days Episode 7:
I think ever since the main story affair got started this has been edging close to my AOTS. I mean, from a narrative perspective this isn't anything too special other than I am watching it through the lens of anime rather than American live action but its execution has been on-point thus far.

Alderamin of the Sky ep.7
Yup, it's starting to get nasty and this Lt. General appears to be at the forefront of it all as a war hungry PoS. Ikkun is right on as usual and they will probably get attacked from the flank without that idiot general knowing... This show continues to be one of the best of the season.

Like DAMN.
Great improvement from the last two episodes, the monster-of-the-week still was here but was used more effectively.

Also, it seems the squirrel genuinely cares for the twins and it isn't just manipulating them, which it's a nice surprise.

Hajime no Ippo 15
This two-episode match was probably my least favorite part of the show so far, since it was a simple slugfest and there were way too many cuts back and forth between short snippets of fighting and crowd reactions (including using one mediocre crowd still way too much). But it still had some neat moments and good visuals, particularly when Ippo is knocked down and his final attack on Jason.

which just implies that what we thought was end game isn't likely to be it unless they have like 3 episodes of nothing but end game which is possible I guess.

How familiar are you with sports anime? Seems par for the course, especially for a bit match.

I thought Ryuu would have pointed out how they kept ignoring yumoto.
I guess no
Nekoma, Fukurodani or Nohebi matches.
Best girl gets to shine even more.
It's possible that the end game is against Gui Niao.
They probably don't call him a villain for no reason.
In any case they still have to deal with the Phoenix killer at some point.

Jojo: DIU
Jojo has been fantastic lately, then you get the introduction of this "main" villain and it's one of the more boring and badly animated episodes of the season. And people who were bored with it the past few weeks are raving? I feel some level of confirmation bias. The early stuff with his conversations with the hand were funny and creepy, but the rest was sub tier. Plus one scene had Shigeki the size of the door behind him.
