I'm laughing at both the production values on this thing and how this is probably where the future of sports anime is headed. Also, in before "millennials killed sports anime".

Never forget that one time when Reinhard watched 2,000,000 people die in nuclear fire because it would make good propaganda.

HandaKun 1-2 dub
Cool anime, looks like I'll have to watch barakamon now too since Handa is still getting dubbed.

Can't say I really enjoyed this all that much.
I mean, as fantasy LN adaptations go, this certainly isn't bottom-of-the-barrel trash, but it doesn't feel much better than that either.
It's definitely competent, but it's not exactly all that gripping.
I'm not a fan at how quickly things seem to be going. The world-building feels especially rushed. This first episode drops the heroes in the middle of enemy territory but I certainly don't feel like they're in trouble because I haven't gotten much of an impression on who the enemy is.
At least Gundam had the courtesy to spend a lot of time establishing who the Zeon were and why they were a threatening and terrifying force before dropping White Base onto their turf.

I feel like Oberstein's Meddling kinda muddied Reinhard's potential actions in this situation. But the fact that he even hesitated to save people is what casts him into doubt in the audience's mind. And that's exactly what Kircheis forces him to come to grips with.
Y'all got nothing on Ernest Johnson's symbolic desk.
Fitting this from the same series that gave us Roid Brehm, a man of many perspectives.

table-kun was somehow able to get over his trauma. But he became a monster.
Here's a Macross-related bit of trivia: Hiroyuki Yoshino wrote the episode introducing that whole thing and, believe or not, he's also the person who wrote Macross Frontier (to the extent one writes a Macross series under Kawamori, that is). Dude's weird.
Admiral Woofington

Yeah I was. No idea why Macross trivia was necessary lmao
One that easily doubles as Code Geass trivia too, if you flip it around. Point is, Yoshino created Table-kun.
But for the record, there's a Macross Delta image a couple of posts above with a "symbolic desk" and all.
Watch the second episode nao!

Earth, which has encountered numerous aliens who have expanded into our galaxy, has established a Ministry of Aid for External Civilisation to elevate them to a spacefaring race. An "External Civilisation Survey Officer" has been dispatched, and aid has begun in secret. However, the discovery and unexpected contact (failure) of "Suoris" by the young Survey Officer Tsukasa Tsujimoto and the three beautiful android girls threatens to throw the galaxy into turmoil........
A first-contact science fiction novel by one of the standard-bearers of modern Japanese sci-fi.
You have no idea how much my day is made whenever they show his fabulous glasses collection case or him switching his glasses.
Also god damn you worded that amazing.

log horizon season 2 through ep 18
I'm glad I am watching this... mostly because while I likely wasn't going to go this route in the story i am writing (planning far more one piece like team splitting where it's just main characters splitting not going on adventures with side characters), it's clear focusing on secondary characters instead of any sort of main plot can be rather, uninteresting.
like this season isn't bad (well aside from the gag comedy that has been completely off point this season) but it also isn't all that engaging either. I imagine all the side character stuff will lead to the main plot... but... well... I am glad I am watching it in english because there is a decent chance I would have dropped this if I was watching it in japanese.
thus I have to ask now for anyone that has read the light novels. Is the pacing for this stuff better in the novels (aka did the anime draw this out quite a bit) or are the novels just as drawn out as this?
because cooks of their caliber only come around once in a type-Blue moon o.o;
edit: looks like Re:zero is getting a 5pb video game (aka one we will never see in english but still)

The s2 of the anime is actually faster than the novels. They cut some world building to focus more on characters (which I think was a mistaken choice for LH) and compressed an entire volume into a single episode for episode 14. There was one filler episode though (13, although part of it was based on a manga chapter, rather than the actual light novels).
If i remember right he did not make a choice if he wants to stop the attack or not and that he would decide later, but Oberstien lied about the time of the attack (it was way earlier) and he send a probe to film it.
He did have second thoughts and is partially to blame but he has not allowed it at the end. My assumptions that he would have stopped it since SPOILER
sieg was still allive there

do pb. game announcements even count as news? they'll just plug it into some vn formula and a game pops out like telltale
I see... hmmmm. I have the first two books so I suppose i could give them a read. a little sad to hear the novels are slower, but at the same time more world building would help since it seems to be what the series is best at.
If somehow this becomes a dating sim mixed with dark souls... this might actually be interesting (it won't be)

It won't because it will be a VN, just like most 5pb games.
as far as I know 5pb has made one game that isn't a light novelish game and that was the beat em up phantom breaker.
and while I could see a joke beat em up game where you have like a roster of 50 characters which the entire point of the game is beat subaru up be popular as a free game on a website, it wouldn't sell all that well.
we will see, but I expect the typical side story visual novel type game from them.
maybe I will get lucky and nisAmerica will license it like they did the psychopass game.
sorry maybe I should have been a bit clearer then. I mean the VN version of Darksouls. I mean... that would basically be quickloading but whatever.
Well, the show has probably like 10-30+ important characters per side. Everytime someone enters his name is shown. I still don't know names except for a few main guys afer 28 episodes. xD

20 episode adaptation of a 9 volume 80s shojo manga. Series was popular in Europe, though I preferred to watch it in the original language.
For an 80s shojo it has plenty of action, political thriller and chase scenes as it takes place in WWII Switzerland, Austria and France. There is comic relief as well. I dont think I have seen anything similar for that genre. Maybe Smart-San, but only in the later episodes during the Russian Revolution.
Noteworthy is the character design by Akemi Takada and the music composition by Joe Hisaishi. They make the anime adaptation much better than the manga in a lot of ways.
Some episodes were very well done, especially the live orchestra scene.

Hilarious and witty scifi 80s OVA based on a manga. Despite the familiarity of the theme, I never felt bored. Such female characters today are a rarity

Not all that surprised about the revelation about Mikumo. Of course the Queen would be that powerful and have something so special about her going on. My prediction about glasses Windie guy is turning out true. Though I can see Keith ensuring no harm comes to his little brother no matter what.

I always dig Range Murata's artwork and the setting they're in.
