Youjo Senki 02: Much better than episode one. This episode captured pretty nicely what makes the original work so amusing to me. The animation was quite a bit worse though, doesn't bode well for the rest of the show looking presentable.

Rakugo 02: Still amazing. The direction succeeded in making something that was intentionally uncomfortable to watch.

 

[Deadly]

Is Fuuka purely a drama show or does it have a nice dose of comedy? Thinking of watching it put I'm not too interested if it's just a romance drama.

Seven Seas is bringing over the first Lodoss novel complete with Izubuchi illustrations.


It's like everything I wanted from this fandom is finally coming out.

Niiiice

Rakugo S2 - 02 (and 01)

I was thinking, this is a pretty packed series, every episode feels crammed with stuff. Good old efficient storytelling without navel-gazing, even if it doesn't seems so at first given the material it works with. In both episodes we have some progress in the 'character drama' part, with the relationships between characters advancing a bit, another part showing the actual status of Rakugo, Yotaro (should I write now Sukereku?) acting, problems and worries, and another part about the (possible) future of Rakugo, with the participation of the writer, and some other secondary characters appearing than finish rounding up the setting, like the comedian who left the Rakugo world or the critic. Additionally the first episode had the 'catching up' intro and the second episode had the more Rakugo acting.

It's a Kouji Seo work.

If you find something funny about it, its not intentional.

It has some comedy and for all its silly melodrama isn't an especially heavy series.

First Lodoss OVA series was amazing. Especially the way they animated Deedlit. Best elf animation I've seen

Is God holding a giant flashlight next to the Earth here or something?

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu S2 01
[...]
Mangetsu-kun is someone I do not recall at all in the first season but I'm assuming it's someone he meets sometime during the time skip

He's introduced in the second OAD / the director's cut of the first episode. That whole part was cut from the TV broadcast.

RahXephon ep.11

Well, that was a pretty damn weird episode from its immersive opening to the very end. They were hoping Ayato would

Spoiler

stay in that alternate world by luring him with sex from girls in his memory and his mother?

That was just weird, but man that was quite the destructive finishing move!

 

[duckroll]

I love that outfit, please come to the game.

Damn that's a nice poster.

 

[Izayoi]

It's OK to be a whore.

 

[names2hard4you]

No idea whether duckroll is being serious or not but I dig it. Very nice looking and clean. It's the colours I think that make me like it as much as I do, along with the framing.

HAHAHAHAHA OH WOW THAT'S THE FUCKING PLOT OF THIS SHOW!? ANIME OF THE FUCKING SEASON

Youjo Senki 02

I thought we were friends. Now you don't even trust me. O-okay...

Maid Dragon 1

meh dragon

KyoAnus confirmed garbage-tier studio. I knew I could trust Kitty Kat.

 

[Narag]

Well, I don't gel with a lot of anime comedies so it could just be that.

 

[duckroll]

Neither does KyoAni. Honestly the only comedy they ever did which I found consistently funny was Fumoffu. Otherwise it's all mostly miss.

 

[jbug617]

Should've been Char, Tatenashi, and Laura in cat pajamas.

she is on both sides. The other side is Rin, Laura, Char and Kanzashi

 

[names2hard4you]

We are! But I just don't trust anyone that isn't myself or Cornbread to not speak negatively of anything SAO related LOL.

I really like the design as well. It's a very classy design.

Youjo Senki 2

This is really boring when it's not psycho faces.

 

[Izayoi]

For what it's worth, I think Barakamon is way fucking funnier than Maid Dragon. It really didn't click with me at all. I cracked a smile or two, but never really laughed.

Oh and

Barakamon 1-4

Simply incredible. Hits all the right notes for me. Great premise, and fantastic characters all around. I adore it.

The perfect light-hearted comedy.

Rakugo S2 - 02

THIS OP IS SO GOOD.

 

[Taruranto]

Well, I don't gel with a lot of anime comedies so it could just be that.

Honestly I think anime comedies work at best when they are 5 minutes shows. Most stuff tend to drag for too long.

 

[Eylos]

Watched konosuba 1-6

Its very funny, liking it so far, made me remember of gintama a little, sado girl, money girl, lazy hero

Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju Episode 2

Very embarrassing, but I thought the tattoo line art looked nice, is that bad?

 

[Narag]

Konosuba S2 1

I laughed a bunch. I think getting right back into things from the start, the manifestation of consequence for being a shitheel in S1, and the loose visuals made this one work for me.

Aqua still sux.

The point wasn't that the tattoo looked bad, it represents his former connection to the Yakuza.

 

[Narag]

Honestly I think anime comedies work at best when they are 5 minutes shows. Most stuff tend to drag for too long.

Variation in the humor works too. That's why I enjoyed Soredemo so much. When it's the same stuff over and over again though....

 

[duckroll]

We are! But I just don't trust anyone that isn't myself or Cornbread to not speak negatively of anything SAO related LOL.

I don't understand. I watched all of SAO S1. It's not my fault S2 was boring as shit and GGO sucked.

Seiren - 02

This show is too much. It had me rolling at one point, just because of how stupid these kids are.

I don't understand. I watched all of SAO S1. It's not my fault S2 was boring as shit and GGO sucked.

Honestly overall I think it was better than the awfulheim arc.

Did he lick someone's armpit yet.

 

[names2hard4you]

Did he lick someone's armpit yet.

Spoiler

He had a dream that he was in the shitter and the girl came to smell it.

 

[jgminto]

Honestly overall I think it was better than the awfulheim arc.

If I was forced to rewatch any SAO material it would easily be ALO because it was so stupid and terrible it became hilarious.

 

[duckroll]

Honestly overall I think it was better than the awfulheim arc.

But that was the height of SAO entertainment...

Fuuko ep.3
That was an excellent episode! The beach scene came off a little rushed, but my goodness, the sybolism with the umbrellas was sooo fitting right there as the drama is about to blow in. I was hoping for another cute SoL episode like this one next week, but nope, it's about to start....

Random thought:
Anyone else that isn't "in the know" waiting for the "big twist" that is going to come eventually to be the MC telling both hotties to go to hell and trying to bag the gay friend?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Future Card Buddyfight: DDD [Triple D] Episode 41

This was a great episode and logical way to handle Kyoya, none of that forced losing for plot nonsense from episodes ago. Kyoya is the best so ultimately deserves the best

Spoiler

wish the Dragon Zwei change had taken place

 

[Puruzi]

Anyone that thinks they know what the twist is in Fuuka doesn't know what the twist is.

It's entirely unpredictable.

Which is why we were all screaming for you to watch it. It's a perfect 10 SoL anime.

No.

Children....

All I know is that is has something to do with

"truck-kun"

I abondoned the thread before I got completely spoiled, but my goodness there a shitton of winking and nudging going on online... Thanks everyone for not posting it here!!

Also, from thise that have read the manga and are now watching, will they make it to that point by the end of 12 episodes? It was also said that they would probably have to skip a lot of good shit to get to that point in 1 cour...

Y'all are getting me curious.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

I looked up the twist. I now just wanna watch and see how it happens.

 

[Narag]

Looked it up too and it was well worth it. lol

 

[Haly]

I think the twist involves a legendary entity known as "truck-kun".
