I liked the "needless exposure" and "mysterious ornamentation" jab, myself. And the villians are sufficiently princely!

Yeah, if they wanted the magical boy stuff to look aesthetically pleasing and cool, the mascot wouldn't be a slightly unwell-looking pink wombat with an old-man voice.

It's basically a season of Precure, but with the girls replaced with guys.

The wombats "Go, and love even your enemies" absolutely slayed me. The line was delivered so well. As for other things I've watched so far Jojo is more Jojo. Cant go wrong with more jojo, although the intro's music doesn't really amp me like the others. Death Parade- Easily the best thing so far this season. And thats saying plenty, because there are pretty good shows this season so far. The intro floored me and the story in the first episode was brutal. The intro does such a good job at hyping you up and then the premise so far is basically Kaiji in Purgatory, with your souls salvation on the line is so grim that its almost cathartic.

the after credits scene of death parade is no good, ruins a lot of the fun speculation that death billiards caused

I don't think the series will be all about the games, so it shouldn't matter.

Davincie posted:the after credits scene of death parade is no good, ruins a lot of the fun speculation that death billiards caused It wasn't particularly hard to figure out what happened in the end by just looking at the elevators noh masks. I just initially thought the dude went to heaven and the woman went to hell, not continue in the wheel of dharma and sent to oblivion . Which really wasnt that different. e- Oh boy, I just figured out that you could even figure that out earlier if you just looked at the stained glass.

iirc didn't they explicitly say in death billiards that those signs didn't mean anything? one of the guys who just watched the original probably knows. i pretty much ignored them either way since they seemed too obvious

Was that thought entirely based on what you thought about the masks because everything about the episode pointed all the blame towards the guy so why would he go to heaven?

She really was lying to him or wanted him to believe that she was lying. It was her that was laying sleeping with the playboy. And even if that wasnt true, its an act of pure malice rather than natural misguided emotion. Had she actually stayed quiet if her outburst was a lie, or told him that it was the truth but without the intent to hurt him, I think she would have been spared.

So I watched Yuri Kuma Arashi and it turned out to be incomprehensible garbage that at one point had two schoolgirls licking out a third. Is this art?

Rolling Girls is the good kind of stupid and has stylish fights. It looks like it has a good shot at being the best new anime this season.

Rolling Girls is amusing fluff with some Kyo-Ani level animation for the fights. Reminded me of Yozakura Quartet with an eye-searing colour pallet.

Is it streaming anywhere watchable? And actually now that I think about it, did Crunchyroll get anything promising this season that isn't just a continuation? Seems like Funimation snagged most new stuff and thus rendered it unwatchable.

not really, no they did get durarara but that's technically a continuation, just five years coming

I think Funimation is trying to corner CR's market since they put up a new sub-only premium membership for like 5 bux a month in addition to getting a lot more shows than usual this season. I'd be down with that if they could ever fix their terrible player!

It's one of those shows that ends up on both services, through what I assume is some kind of shady backroom deal involving impossible odds and the yakuza. The only shows I'm missing because of Funi this season are Death Parade and the second half of Garo: The Animation. devtesla fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Jan 10, 2015 |

aers posted:Its all I asked for Rolling Girls was channeling the goofy, psychadelic weirdness of Kyousogiga like there was no tomorrow, which is ironic judging by the vaguely pseudo-apocalypse basis for the world. That might be my favorite opening episode of the season, and there have been some pretty good openers already.

Why is it always the campiest, most ridiculous stuff? That said, those people took it a lot better than I expected.
