Why can't we show people stuff like Mushi-shi or SBY2199 or Cowboy Bebop? Why is it always the campiest, most ridiculous stuff?

That said, those people took it a lot better than I expected.

Probably because big reactions would get them more views than people going "oh okay" to a thing.

Rolling Girls: "KlK is Awesome" Was the Correct Opinion(Because We Really Really Really Wish We Came Up With It First): The Anime

Tho it really feels more like a more appealing version of that Horizon in the Middle of Someshitoranother from a few years back. Just Kyosougiga'd waaaaaay up. Also reminds me of Horizon in that whenever the charactersopen their mouths, I tune right the gently caress out. This is gonna be a "I'm just here for the pretty colors" kind of watch, most likely.

Buzzfeed recently posted a video called "Americans Watch Anime For The First Time". They showed people the first episode of Attack on Titan and the Nonon fight episode of Kill La Kill.

Everybody in this video seems completely insufferable and uninteresting.

I sure wish I could see what their reaction to normal anime would be!

If they're doing that they should go full throttle and just show them some tentacle rape hentai or something.

Yeah, it is Buzzfeed after all. It just annoys me because it means people who might have been interested might never get to the stuff actually worth watching because of how stigmatized it is, and showing them KLK probably would make it worse. Which is why the relatively positive and analytical responses of the people in the video surprised me, and especially because it was a Buzzfeed video.

You disrespect us. You drag corpses around. You steal, and you hurt feelings!

RRRRRRRAAAAARGH!

Prepare to die!
Assassination Classroom - It was okay, I guess. I don't care for all the squishy sounds that Koro-sensei makes, and his voice isn't great. This episode was also mostly exposition, so I can't really judge it that well yet. I'll watch at least a few episodes of this. I read a good bit of the manga, but it has been awhile.

Death Parade - This was really good. It didn't have too much exposition in the first episode, which was nice, and it did a lot of showing what was going on.
I'll probably watch the entire season of it.

The ROLLING Girls - I have no idea what was happening in this, but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me about the fun things of KlK, and looks like it could be really good. Definite 3 episode test!

Durararax2 Shou - More DRRR! I only watched the first season last month, and I really liked it. I'm glad that this is starting out well, and I can't wait to see what is going to be happening.

Who is the yopos now?

It is us. We are unmoderated fools, trapped aboard a ship that will eventually kill us. Others will rise in our place, only to be struck down. Eventually a chosen will rise from the bones of the gaiden. Here I make a prophecy - This chosen will lead this forum to a golden age. He will be tempted and aided by three companions and a raven will guide his road. A golden age where there is a Monthly Girls Nozaki season 2 is not a dream but something men can hold in their hands and praise.

They've been very not-good for a while now. The F/SN adaptation they did was pretty crap too, and it just looks even worse when it's compared to F/Z and UBW. To be fair, UFO Table have done an outstanding job with the animation and fight scenes though :swoon:

I've basically only seen Patlabor and the current season of Log Horizon by them and it's really hard to believe they were both from the same studio. Did a specific thing make them terrible or did they just slowly lose all of their competent animators over time?

Don't forget their Umineko adaptation that introduced so many plotholes that it literally became impossible for them to do the second half of the series.

That was unfortunate. I had previously liked how they made up for some of their initial mistakes with Higurashi when Kai came along.
