It doesn't entirely do the manga justice but once they settled into it after the first few episodes of s1 it got a lot closer. I haven't caught up on s2 yet tho

It still doesn't sit well with me that they skipped so many things though like Sugimoto's past, his relationship with Umeko and Toraji, Umeko "seeing" him again and not recognizing him due to how much he's changed. All of those things are major character pieces to him that aren't there in the anime.

I kept putting off Golden Kamuy because of how it was being received, but finally watched it a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Been reading the manga as a result though, and I can see why folk were put off. The most glaring thing is for some reason they've been removing a lot of Sugimoto's past and motivation?

Stuff like his family dying off from TB, his relationship with Umeko and Toraji, his post war return. All of that stuff is major character stuff for explaining why he is the way he is, but it's all absent in the anime. Not to mention skipping around some arcs like Barato(upcoming in an OVA), the three demon bears, the fake Ainu. It's all hard to ignore.

I know it's not the best animated thing, and some of the hijinx and wackiness can be kind of off-putting (this was the issue expressed to me by a local friend), but I will continue to stay caught up if they keep making more episodes. I really need to get around to reading the actual manga.  Everyone's down to read a good/interesting take, or just get hype about something.

So did anyone actually watch RErideD? I don't think I've heard anything about it all season.

Skull face Honda-San was great i’m trying to track down the manga/pivix it originated from. Himote House was ehhhhhh decent. It really should of finished with the all ad-libbed episode imho I’ve still got Anima Yell & RErideD on my backlog i haven’t started either of them yet. I hope the latter is good, it had Abe Yoshitoshi on character design

I'd be surprised if anyone finished rerided, i dropped it like six or so episodes in. sadly just an ugly show that didn't do anything of note with its characters or plot.

Irozuku ended and solidified itself as my strongest fave of the season. Beautiful visuals like that were essential to make it and I'm a sucker for aspects of time in storytelling, felt like the finale could have stretched out the tiniest bit more and given us additional thoughts from the gang but it was all fine. Probably something to re-watch. Rerided I finished for idiotic curiosity's sake. It had a good idea but quickly threw it out and derailed into face on palm, same for Spyce which largely felt like a waste of studio and was I right, there was not a single bit about negatives from the drugs other than overdoses are bad you guyz? I best go enjoy Princess Principal a few more times and feel better about life. Beelzebub was an okay remnant of moeblobbery, Yagate's art style I absolutely loved but not so much the mostly predictable events, Jingai was strange but kinda heartwarming and I want so much more from that world. Conception was tremendously stupid, Irritating Maid had a muscular lady going for it and blew the budget in the first episode, felt more sorry for the kid and all the poo poo she was put through than interested in everything else. Goblin was ok. Decker was refreshingly colourful but really not a new T&B so I want watch that all over and follow it up with Space Dandy. Juliet was a fine adaptation of the manga which deserves a live-action version with people capable of stunts and fight scenes. Banana very good, man. SAO cringe-material. Index tiresome grand scheme shounen fighter that quickly reminded me why I quit the manga, can we have more Railgun instead? Gridman was superb and Ulyssees was the opposite. Honda kicks rear end. I like the goofy cute meme poo poo of Golden Kamuy as that seems to be its focus, over dark serious matters. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW LEG!

Irozuku meandered around the middle but I've rarely seen a landing stuck so hard.

Yeah, drat, for all the slow pacing in the middle that made me worried if they could end the story well, they just went and did that. That was a really good ending. Wonder who the grave was for? Her mum? Yuito? Hopefully not Yuito

Heck the average lifespan in Japan right now is nearly 84 years, and the Magic Photography Club should all be around Granny's age. Most of them should still be kicking! That's not really a complaint, maybe it just sort of ties in with the theme of trying to look forward instead of back. Just seemed a little odd that it wasn't addressed at all. PA Works has done a pretty good job with their endings.

Isn't Glasslip pretty infamous for pretty much nothing happening throughout? I haven't actually watched it myself, but I saw a bunch of people worrying that Irozuku would be a new Glasslip whilst it was running. Also the two girls that Hitomi runs into at school pretty much look like alternate versions of Kurumi and Asagi, so at least we know they had grandkids.

Ibblebibble posted:Wonder who the grave was for? Her mum? Yuito? Hopefully not Yuito Well, Hitomi said she wanted to talk to her mother with her grandmother, but then she went to the grave alone. So you could conclude that the grave wasn't her mother's. Although I think they deliberately left it ambiguous, so it could be either one. Ibblebibble posted:Isn't Glasslip pretty infamous for pretty much nothing happening throughout? Yep. The best way to put it is that you can really enjoy all the wonderful animation in Glasslip, because there's certainly very little story-wise to distract you.

That was the best capstone finale I could have hoped for. A beautiful show all the way through, art and music included. I still think they had a missed opportunity not doing much thematically with the art direction but at least it remained gorgeous the whole show. Another incredible title to add to PA Works's incredible catalogue of shows.

I wish Glasslip was about nothing but glass blowing instead the weird supernatural plot it forces in there
