okay anime adaptation of volume 2 please. It sounds epic.
Let's hope for a west release within the near future then. The novels sound actually good compared to the anime.
I know nothing of the show, but that seems like a bait and switch synopsis.
Well, what did we get in the anime? Slice of Life Comedy with a Harem and a plot that was missing for 3/4 of the episodes. Eh, also not great. I prefer the LN in that case.
From what I understand, KyoAni have changed a lot of things from the light novels. Ruru and front tails, as well as some of the episodes seem to be 100% anime original. Considering the role Ruru had on the later episodes, a huge part of the ending was anime original, even though Enigma and that Rupa phantom seem to be the same character. And plot points from the LNs seem to have changed, like that device they got early in the season. It's basically not an adaptation anymore, as they take the setting and the characters and they mostly do their own stories.
Even if a S2 happens, I'll be surprised if they take the story from the second light novel. They still can present the story slightly changed, but it's apparent that they intended for the fanservice to be the main draw for the anime and I doubt they'll give this up in order to have an actual plot. They'll just add a few new characters and then they'll follow the same format as S1.

So it's Muv-Luv.

Maybe they skip right to the third volume then and completely skip the apocalypse aspect of the show. Based on the info above, sounds like they could make that work.

I don't think I'd want either, actually. Plot-less fanservice is bad, but bona-fide-LN-trope-land is equally bad and not something I'd care about watching.
If anything, I'd rather see a show more worth my time getting the KyoAni treatment than PW.
Interesting that they actually did lots of anime originals, but the bolded, ugh...
That has to be a joke like he'll wake up at the end of the novel and find out it was all a dream.

What.
At this point, the author might as well make the fourth novel some tragic romance during the time when phantoms broke out and the fifth about sending the cast to an isekai RPG world with the excuse that phantoms actually came from there or something.
Brain bleach, please.

Should've ended the last episode with Haru waking up from the dream then

Side question on Mayoiga:
They announced the rest of the cast of 30 finally, and the sick part of me can't wait to watch these 30 people get picked off 1 at a time...
Ok, back to business:
It looks like the first episode is set to air on 4/1 to a limited network, then the rest of Japan on 4/8-9. Pony Canyon has the rights for distribution, but what are the chances this is not released in the West?
wat? ppl die in that anime? gonna wait for it to finish airing to binge watch.

Volume 3 has a new female protagonist who has a similar summoning ability to Haruhiko, though she has to do a dance instead of drawing. She's friends with Mai's little sister and a rich girl who is Reina's rival.

Watch the second PV in here, it gives you a quick glance:
https://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1197838
It's an original anine, so nobody knows to what extent it goes, but the staff that is putting it together has the ability to produce drama and horror, so...
What the hell? That has to be fake.

Phantom World Ep 13
Good ending but after watching the first 12 episodes I watched When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace straight away, this did not do PW any favours. The animation is superb and has been all season long but to echo what everyone else has said the plot needed to show up sooner. That synopsis of Vol 2 & 3 of the LN though? That would be worth seeing.
In short good but I really want more When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace instead.

Osomatsu had pretty hefty drops in its sales huh ? Expected and still sells bucketloads but it went from +100,000 for vol 1 to ~80,000 for vol 2 to ~55,000 for vol 3.
Erased sold 2,644 BDs , Konosuba so far comfortably in the lead of Winter shows with 9,100 BDs and DVDs

That Osomatsu drop is pretty standard in massively popular series.
Erased did pretty good for a manga adaptation and the manga got a massive boost in sales, same for KonoSuba.

Just want to say here, I know Kantai Collection is one of the most awful anime to grace both sides of the Pacific,
but gotdang the soundtrack is probably one of the GOATs.
I can't find a link to straight up rips from the soundtrack itself, so here's a piano medley cover.
When you listen to the actual thing itself, it perfectly fits the WWII theme. You could transplant many of the tracks into something like Band of Brothers, or plenty of other WWII movies and it would fit so well. It just gets so epic at points, in a way that you can completely visualize battleships firing on each other. It's SO good.
It's my jam when I'm barreling down the freeway.
Whoa, who are you?

along with idol music

Any idea if Dimension W got any boost ? Can't find any date, outside of the latest manga volume that still seems to have sold only a pittance.

Gintama 259-260
It's neat to actually get some more concrete information on Gintoki's backstory; wasn't expecting that. Episode 259 was unusually well directed and 260 had some quality animation in the climatic action.

The best thing with Inou Battle is the fact, that the main plot happens somewhere and our cast has no idea about it. xD
Just don't skip it when the OP with sound effects plays
Osomatsu Vol 1 had an exclusive "not aired on TV" episode on it since they can no longer show the original first episode legally anymore.

Yes, but the big sales driver for the first volumes was, as always, event tickets.
Alright, I wont.

I really wish they didn't waste the amazing designs of the Abyssals on such a bad anime
