There ain't no bad things to say about the mecha genre though.

I watched series where gundams could transform into super saiyans. NOTHING trumps that.

Finally, someone in this thread with actual taste.

 

[Kenstar]

SEEGEE ROBOTS THO

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I didnt watch anime for a few years and just when I finally have time again there's a new Fate series. I guess Im lucky ^^

Where all the mecha shows though?

BuddyComplex demands your attention. M3 as well, two of my favorite mecha.

So....the dialog in this episode was great and it had some cute moments, but.... I mean, it had NOTHING to do with the plot and felt they needed to add a full 5 mins of pure fanservice pandering/bath scene with all the girls, but hey, might as well end the season with an OVA for the show, right!?!

Excellent show all season and one if the best this season, but garbage ending plot wise.... Any chance of a second season?

It's weird, this is normally what you'd expect out of an OVA. I guess that's just how I'll think of it lol

Watch Kuromukuro and ID-0.

Thanks for the tip. It's noted

 

[Firemind]

I haven't seen a decent mecha show since... I want to say TTGL?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Can someone explain to me the coloring scheme used in sketches like this
They dont usually match up to the actual colors, i see it a lot

The colors can vary depending on the artist/production. Blues are usually to indicate shadows and secondary colors; yellows can be used to break up details from bleeding together.

 

[Cornbread78]

I have waaaay too many shows book marked to watch next week....


With that being said, is BGBW doing the OT this time around?

Need any help with anything brotha?

It's weird, this is normally what you'd expect out of an OVA. I guess that's just how I'll think of it lol

I really felt like the last episode was the REAL last episode and this episode is more just an epilogue of the group just doing stuff. Episode 11 kinda wrapped things up neatly.

Yeah, this was clearly an OVA style episode and just felt weird to end the season.... They should have just made it 11 episodes as Psycho mentions.

Oh well, I enjoyed the season for sure, and I definitely want more!!!

 

[nintendoman58]

That's actually not too far off, when you really think about it.

There's really only a handful of truly great mecha shows that came out since TTGL.

Gundam Build Fighters
Danball Senki
Shin Mazinger Z

I'm sure there are other...okay ones but ever since TTGL mecha shows have ranged from meh to downright insufferable.

thanks

so its more just to keep colors clear and separated, regardless of what they may actually be

NO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.

Dude means well, but you do NOT want to waste your time with Buddy Complex and M3.

 

[Ascheroth]

Watch Kuromukuro and ID-0.

And Fafner Exodus. AOTY 2016.

 

[AquaWateria]

NO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.

Dude means well, but you do NOT want to waste your time with Buddy Complex and M3.

Lol Buddy Complex was pretty good though. It even used time travel pretty well without fucking it up. It was a enjoyable anime. The OVA ended it nicely too.

I will agree M3 was bad though.

 

[nintendoman58]

Fafner in the Azure - 3

In which Shinn Asuka finds out where NERV is keeping Lilith before the next Angel attacks.

yawn

 

[PshycoNinja]

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

ONE I'D CERTAINLY LIKE AN ANSWER TO.

In the trash where it belongs.

 

[nintendoman58]

In the trash where it belongs.

I wasn’t talking about FFXV.

 

[PshycoNinja]

Hey now. You asked the question. I just simply responded with facts!

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Sorry if this is off-topic, but random question:

If I start watching Patlabor: The New Files, without watching the original TV series first, will I still enjoy it? Is it self contained or will I miss out on references and call backs?

 

[Angry Grimace]

The English word Bitch is loanword slang for something that's more akin to "slut" or just a promiscuous woman.

This being the promo image for the show should tell you everything.

Basically the ultimate male otaku fantasy contradiction of the virgin slut where you want someone pure but experienced yet is still submissive. The manga is nothing but the most rote of sexual innuendo jokes.

If youre looking for trash to replace the gal girlfriend show here you go

Whatever happened to high quality trash like Shinometa

well okay maybe without the love nectar jesus that was low quality trash

 

[master billings]

Call me crazy, but I think that banana is supposed to represent the main characters penis.

 

[Line_HTX]

I dunno, I think Gal Girlfriend might be the worst one, even worse than looking at Shobitchy.

 

[Firemind]

man those are some shit designs

whatever happened to actual fanservice shows like ikkitousen, rosario to vampire, qwaser of stigmata, queen's blade and maken-ki

Half the episodes, or is it less? Tie directly into the show. The rest is stand alone as I recall.

Good to know, thanks.

 

[Hellwarden]

I finished my rewatch of Full Metal Panic. All of it.

Now to wait for the new season, and hope it delivers.

 

[mrpallyguy]

Gamers! Ep 12

Some real truthbombs being thrown around by Agurui about games. Nice little ova like episode. Hopefully theres a season 2 but i think its tied up pretty nicely.

Seven Deadly Sins aired a few months ago and it pretty much killed the studio

 

[Master Milk]

konbini kareshi

This is the ideal trash anime. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

thoroughly boring, stupid, and yet inoffensive enough to not make you drop it. a complete and total waste of time for everyone involved

 

[Firemind]

*googles seven deadly sins*

wat

 

[Angry Grimace]

I mean, that's not really representative, but I guess it didn't do so hot.

It's mostly just powerlevels.anime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patlabor#Anime Tells you how everything fits together in its respective time lines.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

fuck i meant seven mortal sins

 

[Theonik]

lewd

 

[Joe Molotov]

Does she step on him?

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Seven Deadly Sins aired a few months ago and it pretty much killed the studio

Wow, Seven Mortal Sins bombed that bad?

 

[Jintor]

i would sacrifice a lot to have kyoani do a cooking show of some kind. Preferably not a shonen one though.

 

[zulux21]

fuck i meant seven mortal sins

yeah you have to be careful with that.

seven mortal sins is a horrible ecchi series with pretty much no redeeming qualities
seven deadly sins has a lot of horrible ecchi themes, but overall is a solid shonen series with plenty going for it.

 

[Cornbread78]

Fruits Basket ep.3-4

Still introducing new zodiac characters, which I assume will continue for a bit, but at least they are giving back stary and character info in the process, which is helping establish them.

 

[Valdfellgar]

Wow, Seven Mortal Sins bombed that bad?

Yeah, one of the two studios struggled to keep up with the schedule, causing multiple delays, an early recap episode, and finally the near shuttering of Artland Inc. It was initially reported that they tanked, but denied/corrected by the President shortly after.

That's depressing. I wasn't a fan of this series, but it's sad that people lost their jobs over this.

 

[Line_HTX]

New visual for Overlord II.

Yeah, one of the two studios struggled to keep up with the schedule, causing multiple delays, an early recap episode, and finally the near shuttering of Artland Inc. It was initially reported that they tanked, but denied/corrected by the President shortly after.

Not to mention the final episode was aired 3 weeks after it was supposed to end at the end of July, well into the Summer season.

yep, that too. Reviewing it was a tad bit of a nightmare. Normally I just hold my notes in my head, had to write shit down and kinda remember between all the various delays and the big delay at the end.

 

[BriseFlots]

Fafner in the Azure - 3

I watched fafner in the Azure before, but it didn&t feel remarkable at all to me, unfortunately.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Early Fafner in the azure is incredibly mediocre. Somewhere around 10 episodes into the first show they switched writers and the quality increases immensely

 

[zulux21]

was confirmed that dbz abridged won't have anymore episodes this year.

they are launching new stuff and want to do the end of the cell saga as one big thing (like they did with the freeza saga) so no more cell saga stuff will come out this year, but it sounds like there might at least be another special coming this year. They have a few movies left so maybe one of those.

Man I need to get back to that. We'd caught up watching at one point but then sorta fell off when updates were slow. Thanks for the reminder.

I mean at the very least there should be a new ep of hellsing ultimate abridged and season 2 of final fantasy 7 so those will be fun.

ff7 started off rough but it was hitting it's stride in the second half.

 

[master billings]

So we've had Otaku's first girlfriends be gals and shobtiches so far, what else can they be?
