This is a 75 episode anime, I suggest you get used to the pace or bail out now.

I finally understand what the OP is about. This was a good pick. I'm starting to like the plot progression now though the little mysteries kind of throw me off.
It got better.

Clannad: After Story 16
Thanks for putting an ad break in the middle of the emotional highs of this episode Hulu. :|
I am glad this series has fiiiinally started to deliver on both the quality and the emotions. I don't expect it to let up from here.
It is completely ludicrous how unfitting the ED was with the tone of this episode.

So yeah I called it. While Nagisa dying was pretty heavily implied for a loooong time (no way would they consistently mention she's sickly in a series known for being tragic without her dying), it was really well executed here. The whole sequence with Tomoya talking to the dying Nagisa with Ushio was expected and sad, but what really clinched it was the bit after that, with Tomoya's depressing inner monologue wishing they'd never met. That was really well done, and really helped drive home the emotions. Also a nicely balanced episode with the more light-hearted cheerful stuff in the first half before everything went south, giving the latter more impact.

When this flashed on screen with that music...
It sent chills down my spine. I was legitimately horrified. Dude is psycho.
Poor Tenma. I am gonna have nightmares tonight.

Lol, this was so bad. Anyway, you're really getting into my favorite parts of the show! I'm excited to see whether you like it.

Johan is a fantastic villain, although it takes a loooooong time before you really get into his head. Great series.
I Thought Trigger was an Original Work Paradise, but it was LN Adaptation Hell?
It's okay, no one is trying to insult you for your tastes or anything like that. There's no gain to be made by having an itchy trigger finger. Like, if you want to provoke a serious discussion on the merits of a particular work or the competency of a specific person then put it forth and see if others engage you. Or alternatively you can snark back. Anyone who can dish it can hopefully take it too. Or you can just ignore those type of posts.
We like and don't like things. We joke about things we like or don't like, and we very occasionally even tell others why we like or don't like those things! And in the end, we're all a bunch of hypocrites anyway so it's not like anyone has a real leg to stand on!

Yeah, probably just a paying the bills side-project. That's how LN adaptations usually seem to be unless they're super popular like SAO/Oreimo.
Might be fun though.
Should've just used Roundabout instead.
I'm looking forward to it! It'll be interesting seeing where it goes.
avatar a live-action show?
if you're talking about ATLA, its focus is self-contained I think but it does an admirable job of constantly driving the plot forward episode to episode and tying itself back to previously self-contained episodes (s2 going back to Jet for instance and making him integral to the ongoing Ba Sing Se storyline, etc). Although part of that probably necessarily comes from them all being on a 'journey'

The show has started to pick up with episode 4. I have watched longer anime and series so 75 episodes is nothing. I'll probably be done with this anime within 2 weeks. But I am now interested. This new dude has definitely peaked my interest.

I agree ED is pretty unfitting in the second half of Clannad. It really only fits with one episode and you'll know it when you see it.
And yes the OP will now give you feels every time you watch it.
Glad this is paying off to you. Hopefully by the end you will join us Clannad fans.
I look forward to seeing more of this guy. Good thing too as the show needed to shake things up. The countless surgeries and Tenma were getting boring.

Trigger should just run a Kickstarter for Inferno Cop 2. The goal could be like fifty bucks.
Yep, it took a while, but the show is definitely good now. Looking forward to seeing the controversial ending.
Re: Monster: I haven't seen the anime, but from the manga it should be moving at a faster pace from this point on. It's deliberately paced, but it is a thriller so it should keep you engaged!

Nah I didn't take any offense. Not like he was attacking me personally anyways.
I just think there's a fine line between little fun jabs every once in a while and constantly babbling hate about the same shows and creators every chance you get.
What I posted was meant as a snarky response anyways so...
But yeah I know it's his opinion and all but I would honestly like to know what anime he does like because lately all I have seen is indifference and backhanded comments about anime and certain posters.

Lol. Ah yeah the ending. At first I didn't know what to make of it. After some thought (and watching the next episode) did I really get what happened. I think it's a big payoff but I can definitely see why some didn't like it. All I'll say is if you watched the first season and are following along with After Story pretty well then you should be fine.
I'll talk to you more about it when you get there.
All anime sucks. It's just a question of what sucks the least!

Hooray more character development

'history'
I was saying it looks like Chuu2, but the powers aren't in their heads this time
Do we have a translated plot description yet?
Lol yeah, that's kinda what Google Translate made it sound like.
I know. I was saying that's what KnK is.

yup
hope you like slice of life moeblobs because that's what we're getting
because, you know, there aren't enough of those yet
high school students with superpowers and romcoms hijinks
why cant LN writers make up something that isn't wish fulfilment garbage
Because then they'd be writing real novels.

It sounds like Chuu2Chuu expect there's no psychological disorders going on here.
Unless that's the twisttttttt

because that takes effort and talent. these exist solely to pander to the otaku masses
Sounds like it could be a sketch comedy. Lol, I'll probably enjoy it.

I did like how Miguel was quick to come to Nekota and Kamogawa and tell them to not let this scumbag Anderson (I think that was his name?) represent all Americans. His smug attitude completely soured the gift of rations they brought to the townsfolk.
Making all Americans the scumbags of this arc would have been way too easy
Yeesh, Bryan Hawk it moah why dontcha?

Hooray haremshit!
at this point the only adapation anime i want to see is another season of nichijou considering
the timeskip in the manga where hakase is a teenager and the girls from season 1, save for nano, are doing their own things on their own adventures
but high school students with superpowers and romcom hijinks is the foundation on which selling things is based

Lol. That's certainly one way to look at it.

They're all so freakin dead. And F'd.
Just love how this guy loves to mess with people. And the
blind guy who taught the villain languages (and told war stories too)
based yuasa, we can always count on him to adapt great works instead of selling out

Remember when Haruhi was a fresh and amusing take on high school students with superpowers and was hugely succesful and almost single-handedly launched the current LN and LN adaptation industry as we know it?
If only the we from eight years ago knew...
