I agree with this statement. Grimgar just didn't hit me in the first episode. Perhaps I should give it another chance. In contrast, I'm up-to-date on Konosuba.

please tusr you're my only hope
btw i'm also in favor of erasing grimgar's existence and promoting konosuba, konosuba is hot shit, and i need more of it right now, but there isn't more, oh god, i just made myself sad ):

I already complained on the first page. He blamed it on the coin and made Aqua cry.

She should have put her skill points into "Get on the Front Page" instead of Nature's Beauty.

Ah Trojita, you've arrived. We have such sights to show you.
just watched that movie for the first time last halloween. As someone who loves the Thing for its practical effects, this movie was right along the same book.
Should be investing in another season of To Love-Ru.

The Japanese VA's are better for SAO imo.

Well hello there, you have posted a few time recently, but I think it's time to start watching anime again..
Start with Erased and Konosuba and go from there.

I'm scared now. What have I gotten myself into!?Ah Trojita, you've arrived. We have such sights to show you.
Grimgar 9 - Nice rest episode. Its actually interesting to think in perhaps all my D^D days we never really had sessions where we just hung out and rested like this. Our rest time was when we planned / did recon.
Also this might be the first episode where I didn't want to throw Ranta off a cliff. Maybe because he had no lines.

There's a supernatural Anime by madhouse. It was pretty great. Fantastic artstyle and the ED was Wayward Song

Yeah, the Fafner movie and Fafner Exodus both look pretty great.
best gyaru.

Yeah it's pretty great. The Anime is basically condensing the first season to its best stories. And the show already is ridiculous as fuck so it translates to Anime really well.

That was the only redeeming part of it.
Edit: WTF that video is a cover lol. I thought they used the actual song in the US edition at least?
Admiral Woofington

They probably had the cover in the Japanese release due to rights in Japan, but in the US the Anime was done at the request of the studio which had the rights to the song for the US or something because I also recall the original being used

I'll admit I really didn't like the first or so episodes and didn't finish it. Madhouses animation was janky, the voices a lot of times weren't matching up with the lip flaps, and they couldn't even get the real Dean to voice his character! Then the actual episodes weren't good imo. Maybe I'll try and give it another shot.
Wait, what, really?
...Is it good?! I mean I know you're saying it's pretty great but wow.
I'll look into this!
Please tell me they had tons of American rock songs as inserts. I'll start watching that tonight if somebody promises me that.
I always heard it was terrible too, so I never bothered.

The VA was too busy or didn't feel like doing it. They got the other guy.
As to the quality it works better, and was largely intended, as a condensed version of season 1 to attract audiences to the main show. The animation itself wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad if you consider what we normally get in a season from all camps. It was average animation with a great artstyle and taking the best arcs from season 1 in animated form, cutting out a lot of fluff the show has to fit it into 20 minute episodes.
As someone who doesn't watch supernatural because it's too many episodes and I don't care to watch the whole thing it was great.
I can't recall a lot of rock outside of the ED. I've been itching to rewatch it anyways now that I can watch it with a more critical eye since I first watched it when I was less cynical. I'll let yall know . I watched it subbed anyways, since I had heard the dub wasn't great.

Just finished watching Hyouka after taking a break from anime and I really loved it. The animation was beautiful at points and I loved the general tone and atmosphere of the show along with the cast. I've always liked KyoAni but this and Hibike were just really special to me. I don't know why I waited so long to get back to it, especially since I'm not keeping up with any ongoing series right now.
Also started Giant Robo and what a great show that is so far. More time to watch now with Hyouka done.

Damn.
I actually really wanna see that. The sloth in the trailer fuckin' killed me. If the rest of the movie is even half that funny, I'll love it.

Sounds pretty sweet. I got to re-watch Welcome to the NHK for uni last year. It was pretty surreal.
Feel free to use my posts on Lain if they are useful in any way.

Not really the movie isn't particularly hilarious. The sloth stuff is probably the highlight but there's a few clever jokes here and there. There's commentary on racism. I'd argue the movie has more heart than comedy

Which is better My sister is among them! or OniAi?
As someone who loves Sci-Fi, not getting into Legend of Galactic Heroes is probably one of my biggest shame points right now. Seeing as Viz is releasing Volume 1 now, any reason not to give it a go in that format? Don't know how people feel about the original novel series, but I have to imagine given the anime being so lauded, it's probably pretty good.
I also need some more night reading now that I'm wrapping Lier Game up.

I just ordered the first book, and I'm currently watching the series so I should be able to give a good opinion in a while.

Nope, no anime adaptation of liar game. If someone decide to adapt it, i hope they change the ending or adding some scene, because damn, that ending sure came out of nowhere. I get what the author intended to do with that ending, but the execution is not that good.
That Publisher's Weekly review was pretty rough, but it definitely sounds like the reviewer just didn't dig the source material. I'll probably wait and see what the general consensus on the translation quality is.
The real answer is Koi Kaze.
