I still have no fucking idea how a UQ Holder anime is going to work.
UQ Holder canonically gained the subtitle "Negima! Magister Negi Magi 2" fairly recently because the overarching plot makes no sense unless you read the manga since the original adaptation was like maybe the first 50 chapters of a 300 chapter manga series. I mean, I guess you could just focus on the intro plot of "shonen dude picks up a huge battle harem" as long as you ignore the fact that basically all of the major characters are either direct references to Negima characters or are in fact actual Negima characters because it's a direct sequel. And also ignore that all of the marketing includes several characters you would not even know about unless you read every chapter of Negima.

That's pretty great!
Though Canada has been anime for a while, and I'm not just talking about Hetalia either. The polar bear from Polar Bear's Cafe? Canadian. JJ from Yuri on Ice? Canadian. Dorothy and Leona West from PriPara? Half-Canadian!
Sakura Quest 25
It ends in the future!
Best show I've watched this season!
Also the only show I've watched (yet), but still...
Does that mean you're going to help build up an expand the town as your job?

To be fair, not having adapted prior manga content didn't exactly stop Shaft making all of those OADs or that movie. I'm pretty sure they're just going to work on exactly the same assumption that the UQ Holder manga works on - that Negima was a popular enough thing that most people interested in the show have probably already read it.

Classroom of the Elite, Episode 11 - You know, Class D is collectively stupid and kind of deserves to get manipulated the way they keep getting.
Maybe I should watch more magical girl anime, so I can spam the thread as wellWe still got Cornbread and DTL for that.
That's good to hear. I have only watched episode 1 when it aired, by maybe I pick it back up after all.
The anime is just a tool to sell more manga volumes.

I mean, the promotional art has a bunch of characters that are almost certainly not actually in the adaptation unless they're just making up their own continuity with the same characters.

DreamFesR Episode 5
Wow another week and another stunning DreamFes. Junya and Shin are the best and so good this week that Vice Principal is a Grade Schooler drama was stunning with their acrobatics during the fight. More.

I got that soundtrack on my PC. Found a few favorites on it.
That's why I'm kinda eh on it. They don't make anime that way anymore.
Agree. I feel we are going to be bombarded with the same so called epic anime ost and thats all.
Because Alliance ship wanted more firepower so they need it to be bigger as Alliance ship had more gun port vs Empire.
Also, in Logh. If ships is attacked from the front, there is a powerful barrier field which can deflect almost all beam attack so most damage come from flank attack.

if the mysterious figure reveal next episode is supposed to be a twist, they've done a horrible fucking job at it.

Sakura Quest END
You know this show could easily end up on my top ten shows of the year. Very down to earth plot, a cast of rather well fleshed out characters yea I really enjoyed this show. Something this laid back and mellow is nice ever so often compared to the stuff I'm usually watching.

Saiyuki Reload BLast Episode 12 [END]
Was an awesome anime and awesome introduction to Saiyuki, I definitely want to interact with more of the Saiyuki characters even more so maybe will try to engage with the previous entries in the franchise.
Will miss Goku.

Sakura Quest 25
It honestly just kept getting better and in some sort of crazy twist the last episode was honestly the best one and while the show never really hit any amazing highs, it certainly found a very good way to end off and in the end what was once a show without any sort of direction left off with a pretty cool message about growth, change, and learning from your own experiences.

The staff you've mentioned have simultaneously worked on other Trigger & Gainax shows - either by directing, animating and more. When you look at the animation of something like Kiznaiver, LWA or even Inou-Battle, you know what to expect from a Trigger show.

overrated
A-1 and Troyca right?
What, you mean like the A-1 Pictures-side director for Frankxx who was the character designer and animation director on half of the Geekfleet-era Gainax stuff?
Blame Troyca for any production-side decisions on Aldnoah, man. The fact you repeatedly don't even get that straight means I'm not going to put any weight into your comments.

I'm a big fan. It's one of the few anime that actually touches on samurai seriously. It's reminiscent of golden age samurai films like Harakiri.
It's very grim and usually gets accused of senseless violence, but I thought the show had a clear message about how ideals (in this case, the samurai code of bushido) can become exploited and twisted.
As far as the look goes, it's 100% Troyca. Ei Aoki's buddies. A-1 only helped with the animation production side because Troyca was a new studio at the time.

I don't know about good... it's certainly worth a watch.
Theres so much I dont know
I liked the first season of Aldnoah, heard about how awful the second season was so I said hell no to that. Same thing with Psycho-Pass Season 2. I may watch them one day but not anytime soon.

This is debatable as most posts in the old threads were actual posts about anime and anime impressions. People just posted more.
Next: If it's with you it's OK.
There is a discord thing? People keeping things from me, hmph.
It's been around for a while but you had to prove you were current on Heybot for an invite so it didn't end up very popular.
Camera Japan Festival Rotterdam has started today.
List of anime films:
Ancien and the Magic Tablet
In This Corner of the World
Your Voice
A Silent Voice
Princess Mononoke
Train fare is too much, so won't be going there.

I really have no idea, but they have done this before. Amazon is also selling Japanese imports of Chungking Express with no English subtitles.
Even the folks I know who'd probably have some idea couldn't get a solid answer on what was up on that one. It technically might not even be licensed, but I also gather that UK sales of Love Live TV might not have quite met expectations in a fashion that probably isn't really incentivising making it a priority.
It doesn't really help when a lot of the vocal fanbase were also vocal about having imported a JP or US copy already.
