Anime Strike won't succeed or fail until a trial run anyways. Hopefully people don't cave and get it. It should be included in Prime and given to non-prime people as an option.

I remember some people being confused about the CR/Funi partnership last year because they didn't see Amazon and Netflix as serious threats in the anime market due to the relatively small number of anime they were licensing. Now that both services are steadily increasing the number of anime they're snapping up exclusivity for, the reasons for that partnership become ever more apparent.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious. I was never sure in the past if Amazon was going to keep at it or eventually just drop anime, but I guess with them trying to extract $160 a year out of people they're planning to double down even harder in the market.

Amazon snatching a sequels rights is dumb and hopefully doesnt become a trend. Nothing worst then having a series separated across multiple service.

It's a bit uncommon, but it happens. Look at Mushishi for example; the first season has its streaming rights owned by Funimation, but the second season is handled by Aniplex (so you can find it on Crunchyroll). It's somewhat more common in home video releases.

Not to mention when it comes to back-catalogs, Crunchyroll has to keep competing with Hulu there.

I know it happens and sometimes it's not actually a bad thing since the second licensor more or less rescues the show(Fafner and Big Windup!) but in Bahamut case it was a fairy popular show for funimation no? That's bad and this is what I hate. It's useless seperation.

Randomly started watching this during lunch today after seeing it for the 5,000th time on my PTW list.. It's pretty meh so far and there is no doubt that the childhood friend is going to absolutely get crushed like usual. It's pretty sad actually as she is one of the only normal characters in the show. The MC just wants fresh meat in the form of the other council leader of the abused freshie.. Some of the comedy is alright, some decent character development for the MC, but nothing has moved in regards to ships as of yet.





Well, $hit endings deserve to get scored like $hit....

Obviously they're making us wait because they're going to translate every single extra, give us the 100 page booklet from the Japanese release, and completely blow us away with the greatest western blu ray release for an anime ever, right?
 
^ WTF is wrong with her face?

Anyways ACCA 12.

I don't think I have any complaints about this show.

It's not amazing or anything I just don't see anything really wrong with it. Worst things I could possibly say are that everyone in this show is ageless and that maybe it wrapped up a little too well.

Show had real nice style as well, it was the only reason I gave it a chance at first.

I liked it, I guess it's my AOTS by process of elimination since rakugo missed the landing and fell into a spiked pit.
 
Gundam Wing on Hulu is clearly the DVD transfer.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is also the DVD transfer on Crunchy, only with the aspect ratio botched.
 
Heya. Could I trouble you guys for some recommendations for great fantasy-themed anime? I'm talking more traditional, medieval-esque fantasy -- stuff like Dragon Quest -- but I'm not going to be a real stickler about it. I'm fine with any era of anime, old or new.

I watched the 1997 Berserk anime recently and I really enjoyed it. I watched Shin Sekai Yori and SAO a couple years ago which aren't traditional fantasy but lie in the same sorta ballpark. I thought they were OK, but not great.

What else is out there? I'd like something with a lively sense of adventure, but preferably not something with a billion episodes, so no long-running shonens. Bonus points if it has nice scenery and depictions of nature.

I'd really appreciate your input. Thank you.

Tales of Zestiria the X

It has a great cast, dragons, it's medieval themed and it's a huge adventure.
 
All of the my name is duck and I like to partys recommendations, but also consider thunderbolt fantasy. It's puppets and not western fantasy, but it's very much a dungeons and dragon adventure show and its amazing

You're Under Arrest OVA - 2

When everyone talks about 90s anime is better than anything now they must keep referring to this series! Really enjoying how well made and animated this has been so far. Shame Natsumi didn't get more screentime on her bike like last minute but still throughly enjoyed this.

Tiger Mask W - 14

Well I wasn't expecting her to have that under her clothes

After the last match this one was a more comedic and relaxing episode, didn't think Naoto would set his sights on the nurse though.

The more I watch this series the more I'm amazed it isn't more popular, well I did my part by getting 2 of my friends into it at least.
 
Things I've watched lately that were pretty good:

Things I've watched lately that were the opposite of pretty good:

  • Magistrate of Darkness: Judge
  • Scoopers
  • Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer

Haha, what? This is "crossing a line"? What about all those other lines, Akko, like, I dunno, THEFT OF PRICELESS MAGICAL ARTIFACTS?
 
K-ON!! 15
Basically Yui's a lazy fuck and ruins everything once again. Also it's kind crazy that all 3 EDs were better than their corresponding OPs considering that almost never happens.
