post apocalyptic is still going strong. Martial arts comes and goes. Fantasy after the western movie boom has been doing well, so the past 15 years or so. There's not a ton but there's more of it than there was in the 80's and 90's.

Backtracking on the toonami commentary last week, man pretty much all of you bailed when Gundam came around I only saw about 4 of you discussing what was actually going on. Unicorn would've done fine in another era of Toonami but nowadays when UC Gundam is barely known about here this was a bad idea all around. Wish we got Build Fighters or a repeat of another older Gundam series.
Glad to see Naruto getting some positive commentary now that we're entering the pain arc.
And I'm gonna bail on Tokyo Ghoul, the gore is alittle over the top and the plot isn't capturing me at least with Parasyte it was alittle easier to follow and between that and AGK I've had my fill on extreme edge gore for awhile.

ToonamiGAF Podcast's talk on the previous episode of TG (i.e. "the emo goth kids") pretty much is a good summary of the demographic. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Hot Topic had a ton of shirts & such for sale, next to the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff.
At the very least, it's been kind of fun to watch in a "omg, i totally understand why it's popular with it's demographic" way.

I forgot to mention it earlier but the thought of "Mobile Suit Gundam: Cabbage Patch Kids" had me bursting out laughing LOL. Good podcast as usual.
I miss classic fantasy anime. Not that its extinct but nowadays 99% of the stuff is "generic kid gets transported to a fantasy world that seems to weirdly bend to his whim" or "characters are actually in a fantasy video game of some sort". It's just not the same :/
Konosuba get props for actually being funny and the newest season of Rage of Bahamut just started so it could be worse. Things are not what I'd consider remotely good right now though.

Wonder why there aren't many superhero series right now? I mean, there's My Hero Academia and One-Punch Man, yeah, but that's because of the author being a westaboo comics nerd and it being a jokes-y webcomic, respectively, so it's kind of weird manga or anime aren't trying to take advantage of the recent popularity of superhero films. You'd think there'd be more.
Super Sentai got that covered already
Doesn't Stan Lee have his The Reflection anime coming up? I forget who he's working with on the project but I recall it being some big names.

I feel like that's the best takeaway from the anime. I ended up following the manga because of it as well.
Its not anime but I don't think the Japanese care
I need to do this as well.
I'unno, it'd be nice to watch a Gurren Lagann-style tokusatsu anime
Do it. Don't say no, just live more!
A shame there aren't any great subs for it. The "best" ones still make stupid errors and won't get fixed since the guy that made them lost his fucking mind.

So this Hyouka thing Funi just licensed, how is it?

I haven't watched it personally, but like a lot of KyoAni work, seems divisive.
People that have seen it tend to not shut up about it.
It's KyoAni, so if nothing else, it has very cute boys and girls
Link?
right, looks like I'm going to laugh so hard that I can't breathe and choke to death
Do you accept to partake in this thread
Then the wait for season 2 begins.
I got a chuckle out of the fact that disclaimer was narrated, a "wait, seriously?!" laugh when it asked me to agree, & then a harder "omg this actually just happened" laugh when I chose no.
There's actually been a time where someone's name matched a character's name in a game, & it was Trauma Center of all things. Got a good "huh, weird" out of that, don't think I ever showed said person since it was a parent's friend.
Oh, I almost forgot, you might like a series called Dungeon Meshi. Madhouse might be doing an anime of it, but that'll take a while, so go read it. It's very good!

Overrated.
Downright my favorite film of all time. I just love it's aesthetic.

Watched DBZ Kai from last week. 20 mins of Videl getting the shit kicked out if her is brutal but makes for enjoyable episode.
No doubt on that end.
Fantasy anime is something I've been sorely missing. The closest out there is Log Horizon, SAO (shudder) and new Berserk (cold shudders). I miss the Record of Lodoss War, Escaflownes and El Hazard.
Stan Lee is making an anime? What a world.
