Mob Psycho 100 PV 2

Not as good as the first PV taken in itself (reuses a lot of the same footage), but gives a taste of the voice acting and continues to have very promising music.

I'm a bit confused (and sad) that this isn't coming this season.

Really love the colours on this, I hope it delivers.

It's somewhat a stop gap between one punch man seasons so it would make sense if it didn't come out until the fall. You could likely alternate years between this and one punch man if the one punch man's artist speeds up the release of OPM a bit.

BONES is already making 3 shows this season; give them a break! You'll get Mob Psycho 100 in the summer.

Can't wait to see how Shaft Shafts it up.

Of note, it looks like this'll be the first time Shinbo is directing a show at Shaft himself without an assistant or series director doing the heavy lifting.

 

[OniBarubary]

Oh neat, I didn't realize Amanchu was getting an anime.

It's a fun and cute manga.

When was the last time he actually 'directed' a show?

Love the whole rough look on this. Very stylish.

The last thing he directed before joining Shaft, Le Portrait de Petit Cossette in 2005.

That sort of sounds like Choro Club but I'm not sure.

The music? It's Gontiti, who did the music for the first Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou OVA.

Bring it on. Give me the OPM fix until OPM S2 comes out!

 

[nintendoman58]

I checked all the pages on that website when I finished it and there's a lot of points that are just far-fetched. The show has undeniably similarities with NGE but it's not like they're the same thing. And in any case, it's mostly visual similarities, along with some characters, who turned out completely different eventually. You'll notice some of them when you're watching it, but it mostly seems like they're paying homage to NGE, rather than copying it.

You didn't like phaze's attitude towards Eureka 7, but he watched the show and judged it based on his own experience. You've formed a negative opinion on this and you repeat the same thing because of the negative experience some people may had, while it's apparent that there were people here that enjoyed it. At least, please try to watch it before condemning it as nothing more than a rip off.

Maybe I'll watch Rah Xephon someday, but like Jexhius says, I could be watching much better shows instead so it's not high on my priority list.

Shows like VOTOMS, Escaflowne, or Nadesico are shows I know will most definitely be good, considering how much praise they've gotten from people who have recommended me some of my favorite shows before.

Right now however, I need to finish Your Lie in April for a watchbet.

Choro Club did music for YKK as well actually. Maybe they just both have the same sound.

It's Aria on Earth but about diving instead of gondolas.

Mob Psycho PV looks rad, love the music too.

March Comes in like a Lion also looks interesting, mostly because of the Shinbo + Shaft combination

Yo, Pokemon tho.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Character designs remind me a lot of Eden of the East.

That's because the mangaka of March Comes in Like a Lion, Chica Umino, provided the original character designs for Eden of the East.

i don't know what that is either!! O:

It's firehawk's favorite anime and one of the most sentimental things you'll ever see.

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Who has the lead currently?

I mean I would have given the prize to SAO but then I got ten episodes into Brynhildr in the Darkness and just gave up as it oscillated wildly between a somewhat interesting mystery/scifi show, a terrible harem comedy and a fan service fest. The whiplash will stay with me for days

Shinbo is real again?

 

[OniBarubary]

Very high hopes for March Comes in Like a Lion. I liked the manga a lot but I'll be honest and say it's been a while since I read it so I'm not as up on remembering it as much as some other series I've read.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Shinbo is real again?

How can Shinbo be real if anime isn't real.

The Chimaera of Asterisk War/Chivalry/Bahamut for being the same fucking show

Dammit I've been developing a strange attraction to Asterisk War ever since the mass outbreak of "Why is Asterisk War getting a S2 when <insert actually good show here> didn't" on here a few days ago. Seems Chivalry of a Failed Knight is only on Hulu and Rage of Bahamut is only on Funi and neither is available in Ireland (Funi was coming in March but now is 'coming soon')

Brynhildr isn't an LN though.

The Chimaera of Asterisk War/Chivalry/Bahamut for being the same fucking show

You forgot a few. Absolute Duo, Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Seirei Tsukai no Sword Dance and more will fit right in (those last two even have the same naming scheme lol)

The Asterisk War outrage is hilarious. The show is nothing special, but there sure as hell are tons of worse shows with the same premise.

(I liked Asterisk more then Chivalry)

 

[Lalalandia]

I stand corrected, it's manic swapping between various cliches wore me out so I guess I can blame this one on Manga instead.

[OniBarubary]

Asterisk and Chivalry weren't even the worst shows in their season. I honestly don't get the hate for them as mild indifference is the strongest one should rightly feel towards them.

Then again I liked them so what the fuck do I know, back in the shit anime box with me.

 

[Haly]

So I think this is too close to be a coincidence, right?

It's a very Anime(TM) pose but also super distinctive.

I think Chivalry had higher highs but also way lower lows then Asterisk, whereas that one stayed more consistent. (depends on what you prefer)
Also, since Asterisk was split cour from the beginning, the finale is basically a mid-season climax and set-up for more (which should be pretty nice action-wise).

 

[BGBW]

This is another show that has been sitting in my queue for awhile now. .

Leave it in the queue forever. The only thing it has going for it is some nudity and violence in the first episode which is kind of cool for ones first anime when they're a teenager because woah it's edgy unlike the Mr Men cartoon. The rest is a nonsensical journey following the life of idiots whose ending makes you want to rip your own head off unlike the Mr Men cartoon.

 

[names2hard4you]

Lay it on me fam. Is the Erased finale good or nah? Won't be able to watch for another few hours.

I did not like Asterisk one bit, but I enjoyed Chivalry quite a bit. I'd be in for a season 2.

ERASED [END]

I'll forget that the last, unnecessary minute happened and OH MY GOD SATORU X MISATO!!!!

That was pretty good, it's a shame that they had to rush in order to deliver that finale.

Spoiler

But lol, the rooftop scene and the flashbacks almost made it seem that the teacher had romantic feelings for Satoru. I kinda expected both of them to fall off and die, mirroring Naruto's ending.

Also, we got no motive for the killer. I guess I'll read the manga, because his killing sprees seems to be fueled by his hatred for hamsters.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Erased 12

Ehhh....

Better then I expected it to be but ehh. The anime definitely started way stronger then the manga and polished up the best parts (the Director knew what the real selling point was) but the manga ended way stronger then the anime did.

That last scene was lame as fuck though, could've improved the manga ending but ya didn't

marshmallow 12 END

greatest love story ever told ;_;7

Those psychic ball throwing cuts are similar, but not so similar as to be a direct homage/copy. I think it's just safe to say that Ryo-chimo and Kameda have some similarities in their approach to loose animation.

Erased Episode 12:

Let me see if I can digest my thought processes here, 10 minutes of abject boredem as the build up to an anticlimactic climax, 4 minutes pausing the stream to actually laugh at the twist, another 7 minutes enjoying the ending, one last minute of shouting bullshit at the screen.

 

[TUSR]

Tough week for Nisekoi and Kayo fans.

 

[KazenY2J]

The Erased impressions are getting me so upset.
