Huh. Aniplex just announced a new version of Rurouni Kenshin. That should make some folks happy.

Yeah, what I've read said that anime tends to be licensed for a flat fee, rather than a percentage. Unless the author is on the production committee, then they get paid for the base rights, but nothing else, unlike with the manga, where they get a percentage for every sale.

sucks to be right
I just caught up with the final episode of Smile of the Arsnotoria and all through the entire season there were two storylines, one with Arsnotoria and her Magic School friends having tea parties and studying etiquette & deportment and having lovely adventures in their castle in the clouds, contrasted against the hyper violent knights who were dashing around the countryside below murdering hundreds of people and burning entire towns to the ground. The knights were slowly gathering intel on their main target and in episode 11 they were rapidly closing in on a castle up in the clouds ..... and then in episode 12 the knights stormed the castle and killed everyone!! But it was a completely different castle, the two storylines never ever crossed over and the knights never got anywhere near the schoolgirls, who continued having a pleasant time eating jam and scones right up to the final credits.

If that's the end of Rental Girlfriend S2 then I'm happy with it not coming back.

They should have just started the season off with the Grandma Throwing a Birthday party episode. Or the Very Special Episode explaining why Chizuru wants to act since it's like 90% of the drama this season. Christ on a cracker

HOLY gently caress DANMACHI SEASON 4 EPISODE 10

BELL LOST HIS loving ARM and possibly his life in getting his neck snapped and tossed several yards into the air

I always love how Bell gently caressing gets the poo poo kicked out of him in this show. Every so often it lulls you into thinking that he's just a dumb OP protagonist and then beats the tar out of him.

So I thought Bunny Girl Senpai was completely ended, they resolved like all the remaining plot in the movie and there's no more girls I thought. Did the author write like six more WNs when I wasn't looking?

There were 3-4 unadapted LNs out in JP even as the movie came out. This season will probably adapt all of the available source material.

Yeah just massive amount, the only reason he's not in prison for the rest of his life is because he's rich and Japan is soft on pedophiles.

that and he rolled on every name he possibly could.

as for him being welcomed back into the industry, he has strong connections. the galko-chan author also got nabbed for it and hes never coming back, but the kenshin guy is friends with oda and such.

really wonder if it'll be picked up for western streaming anywhere. personally i dont care if someone reads the existing manga/watches the existing anime because its not like it can be unmade, but there's a difference between that and a new anime.

Hell I forgot the most infuriating thing about Watsuki is that he served no jail time, merely fined an amount that any famous mangaka of his stature could pay (200,000 yen).

yeah, like i said, he got his sentence reduced by rolling. the galko guy got 3 years.

i dont think jail fixes any of this but 'literally no consequences' is also unlikely to fix it.

Depends on the exchange rate at the time, but I'd figure somewhere between $1500-$2000. It's more like $1400 at current rates, but JPY has not been performing well recently.

So, I haven't been keeping up with Yurei Deco, but apparently the ending keeps the totalitarian surveillance state intact, only changing out who's in charge and drawing the few outsiders into a government where facebook likes are the only currency?

Because, if that's the case, I'm kind of impressed that the show managed to fall below even my rock bottom expectations.
