Damn. I think I might have totally made it up in my head. Sorry.
I do seem to also recall some troll announcement about an anime adaptation that turned out to be some cry for help going "We've been trying to find an anime studio willing to adapt this manga why hasn't anyone stepped up yet?!" Was that Vinland Saga or some other manga? My memory's so bad...
You might have been thinking of Citrus? I know the author and publishers of that manga have been talking about wanting to do an adaptation, but they're having trouble getting it produced.

Isnt it having a stage event at that big anime japan thing this year? maybe more MJPR is coming
If we start spreading a rumor that Masahiro Ando is directing a Vinland Saga anime at BONES for 2017, with Tsunenori Saito doing character designs, Yutaka Nakamura as action animation director, Taku Kishimoto writing, and Kohei Tanaka composing, do you think it could come true? That's how it works in Persona right?

Active Raid ep.1
I really like the intro's of the cast of characters. Looks like a diverse bunch that could lead to sone fun. Story/content wise, I'm not sure what to o think, lol. I mean, this episode was entertaining, but I wonder where they go with the story. More manservice than fanservice was an interesting change as well.

Nope, too late. That would have worked last year.

Spreading rumors? Something like that requires selling your soul to get it made.
What are the new rules?

This was really dull. Nothing about the setting or characters were established in a particularly interesting way, especially the female characters who were mostly just there to strike poses for the audience. It doesn't help that this is covering really stale territory. I'm not sure I even want to give this another episode.

Everything from last year comes true but in the worst possible way.
So which Duckroll favorite will Shinbo ruin next?

Speaking of Ando, maybe I should finally watch canaan.
Don't do it. I made that mistake.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll be sure to check out some of Takahata's TV work later on. I'll check out the 80s titles as well! The more good TV anime I see from that era the better.
Looks like it could be fun! Some of the 80s TV works I've already seen have been mecha anime; Zeta Gundam and Ideon spring to mind. I enjoyed those, so maybe I'll give this a shot. Votoms will be first, though.
Low level D&D is boring #1
Male healer, eh? I bet I know what he likes *wink-wink".
But seriously, what's up with the recent surge of fantasy "trapped in a mmorpg" thing? Did anyone who watch Escaflowe or Lodoss of War think "OMG why doesn't this have a rpg system?" It felt like the author was too lazy to come up with a setting so he just went RPG 101.

The explosion in popularity of otaku-centric metanarrative writing I would wager.
This sounds like advice from someone who has never watched the show! There are maybe 5 episodes max with "sakuga". The second half of the series is just.... ugh.

Cross Game END - Hey, this show was really good. Maybe a little predictable, but all the characters are generally likable. Also had an entirely acceptable representation of the game of baseball. I think this might be my favorite genre in anime, not straight sports, not straight romance, but a health mix of the two. I really enjoy Baby Steps, Suzuka was pretty good, Chihayafuru was amongst my favorites. Apparently "H2" and "Touch" were both written by the same person, but those are much older, not sure how they hold up.
I seem to remember there being some good sequences in the backhalf too. Mainly with the Chinese Knife girl.

Touch holds up. I'd recommend it to a fan of Cross Game.

Actually Grimgar episode 01 already skipped some scene to make the story move faster, because there is even more talking in LN, like Rokka level of talking lol.
Then again the LN is very slow so some of people's review are understandable, good thing is according to episode 02 preview the next battle will be there.

This is pretty good so far. While the medieval fantasy setting is fairly standard, the designs of the characters, the general setting, and the Horrors are good looking and have a unique flair to them. The directing is pretty stylish as well. The way the "sex scene" evolved was pretty entertaining - you could see what was coming, and it was satisfying when it finally got there. Let's see how this goes.

DivineGate and POSA are actually good. I suggest you watch them.

But it sells about 300K per Vol. Its pretty popular in Japan plus it even was broadcasted on NHK if I'm not mistaken.

I would argue that more "loli-pantsu" in anime comes from animators wanting to draw them than from sponsors mandating that they be included. Look at cases such as Girls und Panzer and One Punch Man.
I did think last season was as low as it could go.
This looks like just:
Erased
Showa
Haruchka
Bubuki Baranki
Girls Beyond the Wasteland
Galko-chan
+ Gate and Snow White
Still haven't seen the Sweet Shop comedy though.
I just blame it all on videogames.

By Winter Season standards it's a pretty decent/good anime season.
It's nothing mind blowing or wow worthy but damn would I be lying to myself if I didn't say there were any great first episodes this season.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you think it's being inauthentic in its depiction of the setting?
Yeah, you're right. Ancient Magus getting adapted would be mean added fanservice.
Must be the alternate timeline where PA Works didn't make the show.
AquaWateria
Member
What kind of fanservice could they even add to Ancient Magus Bride? Shit wouldn't even make sense.
Man like I said earlier in the thread I would want KyoAni to animate it.

Fuck all ya'll gangly Weebo motha fuckers..
I ain't got shit to do with it, SAO rocks and fantasy animes do too. Eat it, I'm trying to work here.
I still love ya, but SAO rocks
Yes, the baseball parts brought back my youthful love of the game, but the character interactions and growth through the series was excellent.
Kare Kano ep.3
Excellent episode with lots of background info on our dreamy MC. good character /relationship growth early on as well.

Dragon Ball Z: Bardock: The Father of Goku
So after much procrastination, it's time to tackle Bardock's special and OVA today.
I actually had a lot more to say about this special but after writing most of it (read: round 500 words), I decided to have it be my write up be for an assignment for university instead. So I'll just say that's it's a good special, on par with Garlic Jr. and World's Strongest in terms of quality.
HE CAN SEE THE FUTUREEEE!
