Because getting invested in a story in the format you first experienced it and then having it abruptly end with no conclusion sucks?

How do you know the animes wont have a conclusion? What would you imagine the conclusion for this anime to even be?

Considering its adapting a manga that will end in ~3 months the same as the manga end maybe?
because the vast majority of anime don't have endings or end with way too many loose ends.
The only studio that actually alts material to give an original ending is Bones.
Edit: its a valid concern. People were really worried about ERASED until we were told that it would have a proper end.

Uh, no, plenty of anime adaptations have anime-original endings. Despite the "Bones ending" meme, they don't have a monopoly on that.

People generally don't like being left hanging with no hope for a continuation. It doesn't bother me for a new manga or one that will be ongoing for a while but one that will end weeks after the anime does will -probably- take the winds out of the sails. That's why I'm hoping for an OVA at least.

When has that stopped people from having anime that didnt fully adapt the original material be in categories of what they consider to be great anime though?

I only said I was worried it wouldn't cover the full conclusion so close to the end, not that it would be a total failure if it didn't...
Japanese Anime Fans Pick Their Ideal Marriage Partner
smh at this taste for the girls except #4. And Sugawara is the high q on the list really
Yeah, your right.
I guess I probably should have said that unless its Bones, its fair to assume that it'll get a non-ending if the manga hasn't ended.

I wasn't overly impressed with the first one. I was with this one. The intro sections were really great at establishing the backgrounds for each lead character and the losses they both suffered with minimal dialogue and just music. The contrast in music choices also served to highlight the personality differences and later the sound mixing comes in to play to audibly demonstrate the power gaps.
The storyboarding on Daryl's side focusing on body parts such as legs or hands reinforced his loss on an emotional level. It's not just the loss of functionality for him but he's also losing that connection he had with his family members. There were some cool minor things like his legs and right arm only being in color in one of the flashback shots which accentuate his past loss and probably serve as foreshadowing for his future ones. There were some good transitions as well in either motion or objects.
Great way of showing how narcissistic he is.
I would love to see a 0079 remake with this level of quality.

It's still low-brow humor and only 1-2 bits per episode made me laugh. But that in itself is decent already. As I said though, was about to drop it if the end of episode 5 wasn't as good. Will likely drop it soon anyways unless it manages that again.
The real question is though, if you consider this bland and everage on every level then why the fuck are you still watching Dagashi Kashi which is about as dull as it gets.

Reiji Kotobuki? Wow thats a surprising pick for UtaPri. I thought someone in Starish would be chosen. Id pick Ai Mikaze probably.
Miyuki for Ace of Diamond? Decent choice. But not choosing an actual "Ace" is odd, Kuramochi senpai or Itsuki Tadano would have been my choice.

Isn't it amazing that I care more about bullshit candy facts and cracked out candy junkies then RPG settings now
Also, because I like the manga.
Yeah I watched episode 2 of KonoSuba and I don't think I'll feel bad dropping this one.
It apparently improves dramatically. It was laughable to start but grows to be impressive.
Thank god

Comedy is highly subjective.
I don't find Dagashi Kashi or KonoSuba very funny.
Doesn't mean people can't enjoy them.

Not a single Korbo. Not even fit to print.
Well...it got cut back. Though the claimed reason was more movies.
The block still has some shows I like. Just no josei shows anymore.

Cardfight!! Vanguard G GIRS Crisis Episode 11 (EngDub)
Best Cfvanguard episode in years. Kamui's Training Regime made a glorious return here except instead of it being Morikawa, its Trinity Dragon and Chrono. I liked the visualize it for Cray as finally everyone could see what Kamui and others had seen before, that Cray is real and they need to level up there skills in order to imagine it and use that power to better there own skills.
Beyond that the duel was awesome, Kamui use his Beast Deity deck meaning the return of Ethics Buster...Ultimate Beast Deity Ethics Buster Catastrophe was the MVP card for me. Awesome.

Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb 12
The sunrise scene came off more limply than it should have thanks to the barrenness of the art. Even the sunrise in Perfect Insider was better, and that show certainly doesn't have good art.

And tubacabra girl gets relegated to praying for the rest of the cast's success yet again (at least according to that poster).

Are you referring to this series from the 1980's?

Well, it's a recap. She didn't get selected to play in the competition.
I hate floating head posters.
Oh wait, so the movie won't cover any new ground? Boo.
hosannainexcelsis

There might be a little new material, as is not uncommon for recap films. But the true sequel is the second season airing this summer.
Is it one of many or just a recap to get people into S2?
I didn't know a second season was coming, so I thought the movie would be picking up from where the show left off when I saw the poster minutes ago. More Euphonium sounds good in my book.
He's my number two, after Tsukishima, so that's all right. <3
Yeah, also she's one of the few characters trying to play the real game

You have to be from a respectable Japanese household or get adopted into their family.

Man, this season is so lacking terms of terms of action animation.
I'm considering looking at AJIN to see if it has anything to offer in that regard.
But I will not watch Phantom World, because no.

What's funny is the action might be the most compelling part of Phantom World.
Until next ep.
I'm pretty sure the idea always was to adapt the second arc (since the first arc had already been done as OADs and then compiled as the first episode). The third (and final, I believe?) arc will have to wait.

You know Ajin is really ugly CG, right? No animation highlights to be found there. Out of currently airing things, the best spots to get good action animation are Dimension W and, if volleyball action counts, Haikyuu.
Spring season has lots of possibilities for good action animation though. My Hero Academia, Concrete Revolutio, and Kabaneri should have some, and there might be some in Diamond is Unbreakable, Joker Game, Bungou Stray Dogs, and maybe Ushio and Tora as well.

Considering the fact that Ushio and Tora S2 is supposed to include the show's big endgame IIRC, I'll be very disappointed if there isn't some good action animation to be found there.
There'll absolutely be some good cuts in Jojo's, and part 4 especially has some scenes that if sakuga's poured into them it'll look amazing. I imagine it'll be a lot easier for them to do some impressive animation with the new character designs as well.
One of the best cuts in Part 3 was the Anubis episode where the camera swings around from Jotaro's shoulder to behind Polnareff's and then he breaks through the 4th wall a bit and cuts through the reaction shot of the character's eyes. This is specifically in the 2nd episode of Anubis. I don't think anyone ever made a webm of it, for some reason.
This was a really good one too, albeit more for the fact it's a good continuous shot

Dimension W took too long to actually get intriguing, with episode 4 being the only memorable one apart from the explosion in the first episode.

Yeah, Dimension W is neat, but it ain't got cool action sequences.
hosannainexcelsis

Episode 2 had a long one.
Crash Station

It was like a cumulative 5 minutes with maybe 1 of that being a fight scene, which is what I figured Hellwarden meant. That's not long, and also the only one with any kind of presence over half the full season.
Is it supposed to have them? Not really why I'm watching it, or anime in general.
Hellwarden
Member
It's true. Dimension W is not really giving me the type of action scenes I crave.
What is there is nice, but there's just not enough.
BTW, all the fights in Crimson Moon still end in one or two hits.
...
Goddammit fuck Crimson Moon so much.
