I would say the last major thing that was story event related was Rose

Spoiler

becoming a squire?

But the way it happened is so far from what happened in the game, that I wouldn't even consider it at that point.

But yes Rose

Spoiler

becoming a squire

was the last thing that related both the game and the anime I guess.

 

[nintendoman58]

Wow, has there ever been a video game anime adaptation that straight up flipped the bird to the source material and started doing its own thing like that in a way that actually made it better before?

Future Card Buddyfight DDD [Triple D] Episode 45

Gaito finally getting the better dragon force was awesome. I still laugh in universe when the characters appear on their own moms.

I need Gao to get back involved, and his mom is harsh, not even his friends can get snacks, solidarity, awful.

That being said, I'm wondering like what was the point of the Berseria episodes. Like... idk how they can properly create the characterizations of all the characters in Berseria to be meaningful in this show... Meh. W/e.

80% of mobile game adaptations?

Do those really count in this regard?

Aren't those usually pretty story light anyway? At least Show by Rock and Bahamut?

The first 2 Berseria episode were clearly just a promotion, but I liked them honestly. Seeing Oscar animated and all.

Eizen and Magilou and Laphicet are the only ones they can really push more imo.

I was hoping Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works did this. I was only dreaming...

Oscar is the biggest scrublord in the game. He only exists to show how shitty the Abbey is sans the Legates.

In the anime he looked really cool though and I admit that I really like his design.

The story re-or and presentation for Zestiria have been amazing. I really hope they don'the cheese an early ending and actually announce a third season. This adaptation has been awesome.

I dunno, I mean you're the one who made the statement, I was just providing an answer.

I actually like Oscar, Teresa, Melchior, Shigure, and Artorius' design. They're all fantastic. Artorius is also a fucking awesome Villain. Heldalf is shit compared to him. Heldalf is just a wannabee edgelord.

Iria - End

6 episode and an enjoyable ride, good character designs, a decent world but the final fight wasn't great and felt lacklustre. Still I enjoyed it for the 90s nostelgia, then I watched some of the live action movie it's based on and I decided it wasn't for me.

Shadow Skill - 1

I remember watching this when I was younger so decided to hit it up again since I never watched the full series. For some reason, I feel like the show was a lot more violent then what I watched, the narrative of the episode felt sort of jumbled and the animations (Especially the mouths) were choppy through out. Might just continue with it for old time sake and some more nostelgia.

ClassicaLoid - 20

Another episode that deals with random and quirky humour of the series as Mozart's surpressing his need to create pranks results in a universal imbalance that causes pranks to naturally occur around him. Funny episode with plenty of laughs but the end song wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be. The build up was pretty cool though.

GunGrave pretty much plays out very different as an anime then it did as a video game. From minor things like Grave's traditional costume lasting like

Come on. Of all the years to whine about something, Zootopia winning best animated film is not the year.

SAO will win it next year. Kawahara will shatter that glass ceiling.

Am I good to watch the Zestiria anime if I played the game for 6 hours and stopped?

With Kizu 3, Silent Voice, This Corner, and Heaven's Feel, it's going to be tough.

I'm not whining it's the worst choice ever in the history of the academy awards. But there were better choices and ultimately it will boil down to "I didn't watch any of the other ones, my grandchildren liked this one". Should probably also be a failure of Your Name by not releasing nationwide in the US if they wanted the nomination.

I dunno, the remaining amount of relevant plot seems too little for an entire third season. All that's really left is for them to

Spoiler

uncover the history of Heldalf, Camlann, and Maotelus, and do something anime-original with Eizen

. I think it's perfectly doable within 4 episodes.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Chain Chronicle gets best release of the year. I hope Funi copies.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

On what? Am I misremembering that Your Name didn't get a wide release and was only in film festivals? I assumed that's why it wasn't nominated. I mean outside of a snub I guess.

It was in the running. It didn't get nominated. Because it's not that good.

 

[kayos90]

Haven't seen Your Name but Zootopia was legit great.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Zootopia is pretty good. I understand that people have their issues with it in regards to themes, but you gotta remember Crash won Picture of the Year once and Zootopia is way better then that

 

[Quasar]

Haven't seen Your Name but Zootopia was legit great.

I probably should try to watch it again. I bailed after like 5 minutes first time.

 

[Clov]

Personally I really enjoyed The Red Turtle and would have liked it to win, but Zootopia was good too. Much better than I was expecting it to be, to be honest.

I watched Crash and I can't fathom how that won. At least it gave me that scene at the beginning of the two black guys complaining about the white people being terrified of them in the nice area.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Disney/Pixar winning the award is an inevitability. Thankfully Zootopia and Moana are both pretty good so its not a year where fucking Brave wins.

This is a legit good year for nominations. Zootopia, Monoa, Red Turtle, Kubo, all had good merits to win, and appealed greatly to different audiences. You want a bad year to bitch about? Bitch about this one:

Big Hero 6 – Don Hall, Chris Williams and Roy Conli
The Boxtrolls – Anthony Stacchi, Graham Annable and Travis Knight
How to Train Your Dragon 2 – Dean DeBlois and Bonnie Arnold
Song of the Sea – Tomm Moore and Paul Young
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya – Isao Takahata and Yoshiaki Nishimura

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

 

[Aki-at]

Zootopia is one of the few animated features to correctly place the earphones in the ear of a rabbit character so it gets a thumbs up for attention to detail.

Didn't really expect any other film to win, animated features is usually an afterthought in these award ceremonies so it always goes down to the most popular.

 

[Quasar]

More important, we have the Tokyo Anime Awards.

Really makes me want to see Silent Voice more. Really hope it gets a aussie theatrical run.

Eyes rolled seeing Yuri win best series.

Cardfight!! Vanguard G NEXT Episode 12 - The Last Chance (engdub)

Aw I like how Taiyou is treated by both Chrono and now Kazuma great improvement and really cute scene.

Best episode for Team Trinity Dragon fans, Carl was extremely impressive even if he had the luck of the draw the whole cardfight. And Taiyou, wow very impressive cardfighting. Definitely will be one I cant wait to see upon rewatching all of cfvanguard from ep 1 someday.

Aight this trailer is assuaging a lot of my fears.

I am...well, I'll have to wait and see what the new characters add to this. It seems they have been added to maybe make people relate more to characters or something? I dunno. That feels against the atmosphere of the manga a bit. I dislike the framing of "the only hope for humanity" too.

But visually it certainly is a looker.
