Symphogear AXZ 01
Oh my God that entire opening sequence was amazing. On par with the legendary GX opening.
this is so stupid i love it

More than she did? That's a tough one... I can't think of any. Hell, I can barely come up with any badass old lady fighters to begin with.
you have one in his other major series hunter x hunter
Biscuit Krueger is 57
naruto has tsunade
Gate has Rory
the japanese version of dragon ball super has grandma goku :3
yeah old lady fighters are hard and most of them aren't drawn as old ladies lol.
And the villains this time are literally the Illuminati and they sing in broken german. AOTS.

Yea, I know. Chiyo too from Naruto.
But yea, I think Genkai's prolly the GOAT in terms of screentime fighting-wise.
oh yeah... I forget about her since that entire fight is 5 minutes of cool stuff and good ideas surrounded by 2 hours of pure stupid lol.

...are they opening the side doors to let an incoming missile through?
I guess Tsunade from Naruto would be one.
Yes.
the grandma from summer wars is pretty badass
one piece has chopper's teacher (and by anime standards of age... you could almost argue robin... I mean she is in her 30s >.> and thus an old lady by anime standards)
I feel like she barely counts because being in her 50s isn't that old, but more importantly, she's kind of cheating through her Transformation Jutsu making her look much younger, so it's not exactly portraying the image of an elder woman kicking ass.
Then again it's anime, so I guess ya take what ya can get where age is concerned.
Yea true, but she is still pretty badass being the first female leader of her village so I give her a pass.
heck... making it 30 plus still doesn't make for a huge list.
nor does including video games.
yet badass grandpa in anime is a trope.
grandmas need more love.

Going by the (really good) Kakegurui OP the series will either be
1. Emasculated useless male MC gets routinely owned. Literally
2. Useless male MC gets shoved to the side because lesbians
Either are good. I think I'll like this show a lot.
wtf symphogear rules
Fair enough.
Yea if we did old guys, then I can think of examples like Whitebeard from One Piece, Netero from HxH, etc. etc. lol
Poor old ladies...

Can you really call it new when Symphogear has had like 8 seasons already?

Four. But they confirmed the fifth with the fourth when it was announced lol.

I'm just amazed at how long it is running. I would never have predicted it when it first started airing.
You did not predict that the creator of Wild Arms would abandon videogames to create a longrunning anime franchise about idols using music powered battle armor to fend off an alien invasion?

It sells really well. Lots of merch too, character songs probably make bank
Let me know if it's the latter. Thank you.
Isn't Jabami the MC?

When you put it that way it actually sounds more plausible!

So GAF, do you have a MAL account to keep track of your anime list (watched, dropped, plan to watch, etc)?
I've just made one the other day and I feel like I should've made it years, if not a decade, ago. Because I keep forgetting if I have watched certain anime or not at some point. I've been busy adding stuff to my list in the past few days.

Fate/Apocrypha - 01
This premiere was radical. A much needed change in the series that doesn't rely on the same old characters, while retaining the elements that made Fate, well, Fate. Pretty stoked for this one, can't wait to see what else this show has in store. First impressions from me are pretty positive, A-1 Studios isn't Ufotable but the work they did for this first episode was pretty good. Also, was not expecting the show to be as bloody as it is, the tone in this one seems to be more in line with Fate/Zero than Stay Night, which is a good thing.

I don't use it anymore, but yea I have one. I made it a few years late as well, but after making the account, there was this magical moment of clarity where I managed to remember every single show I've ever watched, despite there being a lot to remember lol
yeah... took forever to set up for me, and I am still finding shows I have seen that I don't have on there.
I am also horrible at keeping it up to date lol.

Yep. Been using it since 2011. Don't care much for the forums but the list function itself is great.
My only gripe is how they have a lot of anime with well-known english titles listed by their romanized titles (examples, Paranoia Agent is titled Mousou Dairinin, Spice and Wolf is titled Ookami to Koushinryou, ect.). You can still search for them by their english names but they're romanized on your list.

Yeah, I guess it'll be a hassle down the road, but thankfully I very rarely watch ongoing anime (I only watch anime after they're finished airing) so updating my list will be rather easy. I'll only need to mark everything with 'completed' or maybe 'dropped'. At least it'll help me after I'm away from anime for a while.

Kakegurui 01
I will point out my currently watching and plan to watch stuff lol
I tend to mean to check out like 10 shows per season...
and then when I Watch them I forget to update >.<:
every so often I go through those lists to find out I have like 40 shows to update lol.
People go to anime cons for the announcements?
Here I always thought they went so they could photograph the girls.

AX is kinda unique as far as western cons go because the Japanese industry actually cares so you get real news.
I still think he has a point tho.

Subete no aware
I thought Symphogear was the new Milky Holmes.
I have a kitsu account that syncs with a old MAL one I have. It seems to sync but I'm not sure how ratings work across platforms and there are shows/stuff I read that MAL doesnt deem worthy so they don't sync.

He does! But I've seen pure intentioned anime fans on my twitter too. One of them got an autograph from Umakoshi!
Wait hold up. I wasn't remotely suggesting that cosplay supporters are any less well intended anime fans!

'going to photograph the girls' doesn't sound well intentioned to me!

What if you go to photograph the boys?
Theonik

The only acceptable activity with the boys is cracking open a cold one with.
I've heard there were a few cosplays of Re Zero's Felix.
I don't see why not if you go there and get peoples permission to take photos.
