I read that description ten times and I still can't figure out what the gently caress. This reads like Instructions for a Fruit.

Besides being terrible about the actual show names (Nobody speaking English is going to call Assassination Classroom "Ansatsu Kyoushitsu" except for terrible japanophiles) Anichart pulls data from the dumbest places sometimes. Here's a real description:

quote:

10 years after the Great Tokyo War, each prefectures in Japan had split up into independent nations. Each nations are ruled by a prophet called "Mosa" and an army called "Mob" as they start to compete to take over other countries. Four "Mob" girls from the Saitama clan, Nozomi, Yukina, Ai, Chiaya are ordered by their “Mosa” to travel around Japan riding their motor cycles to mediate multiple battles between nations and clans as they emerge.

People were calling Seven Deadly Sins "Nanatsu no Taizai" just a few pages ago in this thread and people are calling Parasyte "Kiseijuu" all over the place, I doubt there's going to be a shortage.

Did you miss the part where both the male and female lead characters got killed off in the last episode? That'd be like Geass R1 ending with Lelouche and Kallen getting the axe.

The most important aspect of a title today isn't how easy it is to recall, it's how easy it is to google. Nanatsu no Taizai is a better name than Seven Deadly Sins for the same reason Parasyte is better than Parasite.

Being shot at =/= being shot in the face. It was a cut to black (from memory) and you don't see him getting hit with the bullet.

Also there's no way that both of them are actually dead, which is the only reason I wouldn't be totally onboard with season 2.

Assuming, of course, that Slaine hasn't taken up taxidermy and ventriloquism.

Except they didn't? As already pointed out, the princess is alive (if paralyzed), and Slaine was as much a lead male as Inaho. Even if I kinda hate him.

Given I bought it up, I was calling it Nanatsu since the manga places I've seen it on have it listed as that and the episodes are all labeled that as well. I've just seen it called that far more so it stuck. :shrug:

It's definitely something that sticks thanks to how manga sites list them. I still know people who call Attack On Titan "Shingeki no Kyojin" despite the AoT title being in the dang intro.

It's a fuckin' miracle that back in the day, FMA was somehow kept intact.

Well yeah, all Slaine did was gently caress up everything the entire season. I didn't see any of the promo stuff though, so I didn't know they did that kind of rear end-pull considering she got shot through the right lung and then again in the head.

Headshots are less automatically lethal than many people think, as hundreds of botched suicides have amply demonstrated, and we already knew from Yuki's arm-exoskeleton that this setting has excellent medical technology.

It's less that they've necessarily killed of all the protagonists and more that I do not want to watch a show in which Slaine is the star. He's uninteresting and unpleasant to watch.

Good point, as far as their medical tech goes, I was more focused on their 21st century defibrillator and resuscitation methods.

I still think it's because "Advancing Giants" would have been like 'Oh, so that's the shtick: They're gonna keep losi-- ah, jeez! Bummer stacked on top of a bummer' so they decided to use Attack on Titan so the author would know that the people at Kodansha were expecting him to, as a friend would say, "Shounen it up".
