I watched a few eps of old Kindaichi Case Files anime. The first arc was meh, but the second arc is literally a cross between Friday the 13 and And Then There Were None. It's pretty great even though the conclusion seemed a bit rushed. Looking forward to watch more once I have some free time.

Also, watched the first two episodes of True Detective. Not gonna lie, didn't expect one of the protagonist to be a gnostic. Cinematography is great, too. Otherwise, it's pretty unimpressive: its bleakness approaches farcical levels and McConaughey seems to be overacting quite a bit.

HBO got me worried there. More than an hour of runtime without T & A.

Yeah they join a club in college with new characters and it just didn't seem as fun, to say nothing of the Azusa band doing whatever.

I remember hearing that Japanese fans were nervous about K-On going into college years, because they worried the girls would either remain completely uninterested in boys and dating, which would be unrealistic, or they would get boyfriends, which would ruin them forever.

How did the manga end up dealing with that?

everytime someone says a seasonal anime is GOAT

Just watch the best anime ever
They went to an all girls college so they could continue ignoring guys, right?

That's how I kind of remember that playing out anyway.

The manga-adapted parts of BBB are great, (along with the soundtrack and animation in general) but we're reaching the finale and it's becoming rapidly apparent the anime-exclusive content is going "ORIGINAL CHARACTER, DO NOT STEAL" on us.

Oh, it's still well worth your time. Most of the interstitial anime-new bits threaded into the manga stories are fine on their own, it's just now that we've gotten to peek behind the curtain and watch them occur for longer than a minute or two at the tail end of a manga-adapted story it's not looking so hot.


boom boom boom posted:

That is the only part of the anime that's outright annoyed me. They sunk the loving punchline just for a cold opening. And they cut the ending off anyway just to stand around emotionless for ten minutes talking about "Casters" :nallears: (ie; Mages, psychics, etc).

akira, a new girl in the college manga, was into some guy while in high school and cut her hair short for him because he liked it that way but then he changed his mind. i forgot if shes still into him but it doesnt matter because its akira, who cares. other than that and juns brother in the high school manga theres no guys

I am like 2 eps behind on BBB, I did like most of the anime-original stuff up until Black was introduced.

He looks like he sucks a lot and I assume he's the reason for the griping.

college manga girls arent really all fleshed out (except for second ritsu), but they only appeared in one manga where the focus is still on the main 4 characters, so you cant really expect much there. high school manga focussed on the light music club and only has two new characters so of course they get more time

both are k-on quality and should be read

They're talking a lot and not doing anything.

The part where Leo and White go to see Twins is still my favorite scene in the show tho so hope springs eternal that the last two episodes won't blow it.

I liked the first bit of Black and Leo hanging out at the diner and bonding over (thinking they're) being lovely brothers to their respective sisters.

Yeah it's a great scene. White is cool.

At least it's been mostly episodic so if they drop the ball then oh well, it's still worthwhile.
