I know everyone here can't wait to watch the next Magic School LN adaptation airing alongside Asterix this Spring...

Always wonder why they have to crate a "MC's friend A" in battle harem LN.

I'm trying to do more work today on the preview thread and it's really rough around the edges since it's so much work. I've wasted enough time on YouTube, so does anyone have a good link to the Ace Attorney PV, that is not part of the 3DS crap or their friggen' Pachinko machines?


Oh and for the record.... I'll probably watch Hundred as well, if nothing else to see if it tries to do anything at all different, or is it the same exact formula as Calvary and Asterix...

I like generic harem shows :V

I used to not mind them, but I've totally burnt out. These are being pumped out like nothing. It's a bit excessive now. To be fair, there is only so much you can do with any given medium as more and more content is out, but at least try. This poster here shows me that they aren't even trying. Unless there is some kind of big twist that makes this show fascinating. But I doubt it.

Dimension W 1-10

Hey guys! Remember that intro backstorything about what our imaginary dimension can do? Yes? Well f*** you, get reminded about it for 4 episodes!

entertaining, good animation too. And that CG, that's how you do it really.

Wait what, Joker Game actually looks good? For some reason I thought it was some sort of Yu-Gi-Oh like card game adaptation. Should've googled it sooner.

Oh my, I have to look into this now I think. Good stuff.


Lol, I'm using that post as a work space as I transfer links ftom mobile to a thread I'm working on, lol.


Yeah, looks interesting. ..

Kazuma is the aniti- stereotypical LN MC that is not OP and does not have everyone trying to jump on his D (well, he almost talked Darkness into it, lol) The comedy can be overcooked at times, but there has really only been a couple bouts of over-board fanservice. The interactions (especially with Aqua) are hilarious and really make the show though.

The selling point of the cast is that they are all assholes.

Eureka Seven #16
Anemone's character is actually complex. I was expecting her to be a full-time psycho bitch of evil, but seeing her so distressed over some excruciating pain she experiences constantly unless she's given some strange drug made me feel kind of bad for her. The fact that she has a pre-made insertion point in her neck for the drug shots is even more telling, and something I can relate with since a relative of mine was once put through so many blood tests and stuff that they were really fed up with the feeling of getting their skin punctured by syringes.

And I got another crazy dream sequence that I couldn't understand. It was strange to me that Renton managed to find a house with food in it, but I was expecting that first part (before he fell asleep on the couch) to be real, and that the house might've actually been linked to the place Anemone was being held in. The weirdest thing is that it's a somewhat fantastic setting, so it was hard for me to say "alright, this makes no sense so it must be a dream".

The final moments where Eureka was behaving as if she had actually shared her dream with Renton kind of made sense in that it looks like the two of them and Anemone are now linked in some strange way, so things might get even weirder (and more interesting) soon.

Ojamajo Doremi 1

Doremi is cute. And funny. And already a better witch than a certain legendary pair. Nice way to have her screw up Igarashi despite good intentions. This looks to be enjoyable.

Does anyone has a little bit of time that they can help me review and edit the Spring Preview thread content? Does anyone have the time to put together a quick decent banner; maybe a collage of pics from the shows?



Online Dating 101? Whaa??

This 100%. I somehow got to the halfway point before dropping it entirely because I gave it too many chances.

Don't worry, I'll erase those links shortly. I'm trying to finish up this thread and was using it to transfer links from my phone to the PC since I cannot access YouTube from my work PC.

House of Five Leaves 2

I don't find Masa as interesting as Ichi does. He's a pretty weak character, and not really in a likable way. I still like the chill hang-out nature of the show otherwise.

Hmmm, I liked him and I'm usually put off by his kind. But don't let that deter you from continuing with show cause it has some surprise for you in this regard.

I wish the music was better though. Some of the tracks in this episode were dreadful.

Apage, Satanas.

Shashinkan
Simple and to an extent, because I got the gist from the impressions I read, fairly predictable but still pretty powerful. Good stuff.

Grimgar 01
Why didn't they just get a normal job ?

...

I liked the backgrounds.

Dimension W 10

Still meh. Felt like it tried to handle way too many things within those 20 minutes.

Very scandalous there, Kiritobread. Netoge is perfect for you.

;P

You could just PM to yourself to make it easier.

Pop is apparently very successful at life. Hadzuki is precious. Both Doremi and Hadzuki get to learn a nice lesson about family and each other this time.

Anyone else watching Iron Blooded Orphans? Episode 23 was pretty hilarious.

I'm always at least one week behind due to CR's broadcast being like that, but I've forgotten about the show and haven't watched the latest 2-3 episodes yet. It's been nice so far, but I kind of got bored with what happened at Dolt 3.

I can't... I didn't expect Sasaki to be that good. The flashback scenes were some of the finest in the series. ;_;

Togashi kind of undermines Nen with Specialists and just plain magic abilities. Like you have a reasonable pokemon-esque type chart there except one type is the equivalent of "variable", and on top of that you also have this and that.

It's like Naruto with its chakra types. You had 5, then you could pair them off for 10, or even go triple for 20. That's plenty, right?

But then you had clan jutsus and bloodline limits and tailed beasts and, eventually, 15 different types of sharingans.

Araki basically says "what I say, goes", and that's all you need to know. I mean there's some rules and commonalities between stands but it's not presented as some kind of cohesive system. Even the protags are routinely shocked by what a stand can do.
There's a ton of what I like to call "specialist creep" in Hunter x Hunter where we move from specialists being rather rare to everyone being a specialist to allow for crazier fights.

It's picking back up, definitely improved after Dolt 3.

Ojamajo Doremi 3

Aiko is a tough girl. I do like how Doremi tried to solve things by talking with Aiko's dad before using magic. Which ended up being the correct solution. Turns out Hadzuki is sharper than she looks.

Skip Beat 11-13

The entire gameshow was pure gold. Lol the sight of a person playing badminton in a giant chicken suit. I hope Kyoko keeps the suit(which she should since she got that TV role) the suit brings out her inner evil, its fantastic. She's come a long way already and I love that her goal has somewhat morphed from I hate Sho to I want to be a star for myself.

Ren starting to melt towards her was great. Like he was flirting, teasing her and giving her advice without realizing it. He's also a surprisingly weird guy in a lot ways, that scene where he chases Kyoko with the horror movie music lol. And its nice to see \Moko and Kyoko on the same page. The acting scenes are always super dramatic, its like a shounen fight where everyone hypes and explains everything that happens.

That's pretty much every Shonen, to be fair.

Yeah but it's weirdly specific with Hunter x Hunter - it's a kind of complexity creep rather than a straight power creep (although that clearly occurs too). The combat goes from having this very specifically, closely followed set of rules all the way through to what might as well be JoJo level stand nonsense. It's just kind of funny that Togagashi gave his rule set the backdoor of 'specialist' and then eventually abused the hell out of that backdoor.
