Code Geass R2 ep.15
Lets just say that I'm extremely confused after the events of this episode. Was that the core power of Geass that he broke? That was all pretty out there shit.. Suzaku is also an ass... Also a shame Rolo is still alive; I like Lelouch's plan last episode.
I hope you like super

Danganronpa 3: Hope Arc
Yes, this was not a very good series overall, and I'll pretty much be ignoring it and counting only the two main games of the series. However,
I have such mixed feelings about this...

Ryota not only survived, but he's happy and has friends now! That's literally the only thing that mattered to me about this series. This is literally the only Danganronpa title where my favorite character lived.

Did someone die in Danganronpa 2? Or in any Danganronpa game beyond the first one?
I guess if we're taking this as canon, then no! Asides from AI Chiaki, I guess? There's also some of the relatives from UDG but I'd rather ignore that one too TBH.
Re:Zero 19-21
This is like a 10-man raid dungeon boss fight with extremely aggravating gimmicks and multiple phases. I'm happy for Wilhem and gotta admit, that flashback to seeing the Master Swordswoman was bittersweet.
Crusch is pretty amazing as a commander and nice choice of motivating dialogue to spur on the troops, lmao

I have to say, if there's one thing they did right with Crusch, was creating a strong female character that you cannot help but feel respect for. She was an intelligent candidate too that was loved by her people.

Soredemo END
I have no idea where that final episode came from randomly with it's more dramatic take, but alls well that ends well, I guess. There was comrdy in the end, lol.
Overall, the show was pretty fun, even without a central plot or storyline; it ended up being a bunch of semi-related skits thrown together based on Hotori's wacky life in the town. I kinda wish they pursued any of the storylines they presented, but you could tell they skipped around the manga quite a bit and actually told you as much when a skit switched, lol.

So many people getting stepped on here.
My interpretation of the universe involves the world, characters and its rules that is encompassed by a "story" which is what the TV series focuses on so...

No one cares if a thread goes over 20,000 posts a little bit. Seriously. Lol.

Dangaronpa 3 - Despair: 11
The "class graduation" scene would work out well if the show didn't suck so much. This final episode was so utterly forgettable.
Danganronpa 3: 24
It wasn't a bad episode, but the revelation of the previous episode brings the whole thing down. How can the conflict even matter after that. They talk about atonement, but what is there to atone for?
Wellp, that's that, the anime was totally not worth being made. I will just take this despair as a stepping stone towards a greater hope, Danganronpa V3.

Wow I've been gone from this thread for a season and a half and now I find out Cornbread hasn't finished Geass yet.
Don't worry, we're all ashamed of him in our own unique ways.

And honor and shame are the most important parts as we all know.
There's no honor in this thread.

Plenty of shame to go around though.
You know that laugh Nagito does that's 90% of why he's the best character in the series?
I understand it a little better now.
DR2 fan service was stupid but fun, it completely ignored the themes of the series for the resolution but honestly I liked it better than the rest of future so I'll take it.
DR1 stuff on the other hand, holy FUCK. Like, Jesus Christ this is fanfiction. And not the fun kind.
Also, Makoto didn't actually do anything in the entire series to help solve the problem, he could have died ep1 and nothing would have changed. Which isn't a great thing to realise about a show's main character.

Shame the DR2 cast didn't get redesigns but that would be a lot of work. At least they gave Nagito a robot arm.

I guess a second season isn't happening, but I'd be there for it.
Decent and pretty looking show. For such a commonly used formula, it felt really refreshing. It certainly had its faults, I agree with most of the things people have pointed out in this thread, but the more "SoL" approach and the premise of totally inept characters becoming slowly better made the show quite enjoyable. I'm kind of impressed that despite not having a lot of world building, they exploited a lot of little details.
A witch a day keeps the doctor away.
For example, the old priest had said that people become zombies when they don't get a proper burial, which happens a few episodes later. There's also that light stream power of Haruhiro.

One of the best portrayals I've seen in regards to a human fostering a wild animal and building a close relationship, even if it's a fantastical beast. Quite touching at times.
Also, Yuuyan is da best.

I'd say because the concept of a cutesy image for modern Nazi fetishism is incredibly gross should be a good enough reason.

That PV starts like it'll be an enjoyable war time show. Then it goes "oh? Did you forget we're Anime?"

The fascination of Japan with Nazi Germany (and Germany in general) is fairly funny too and I'd love an explanation outside of them being allies in the war.
perhaps a legacy of Prussian influence over meiji era education and social reform than anything strictly war related (though obviously that they were part of the war I bet influences a lot of counter-cultural otaku subculture)
war/battleship/tank otaku etc fascinate me because I feel like a lot of the military/gun otaku that I see represented are almost apolitical generally speaking. of course being apolitical is itself a political decision but there seems to be a lot less overt ultranationlists who are also military otaku. people who are, like, tank otaku or hwatever are like... purists. it's all about being the best technical specs or performance or being good at being a tank, and never about the aims behind actually having a tank
of course i say this as someone who can't easily read japanese forum threads, so what do i know

I mean it isn't as though being a military nut is strictly a Japanese otaku thing anymore than being a gun nut is an American thing.
