Watched the first episode of Alice & Zouroku. Story is reasonably interesting, lots of ways it can go. Character designs are very cute. I like the voice of the old man. The CG car scenes are bad but I can live with that.

E: Wow, that looked even worse than I was expecting from that still shot.

Still Alice & Zoroku is a nice little thing. It's got an odd setup, but I think it has some potential.



In other news, I'm glad that Attack on Titan isn't gonna take its sweet time to address the elephant in the wall, but wow, those sure were some revelations to toss out within only a single episode right at the very beginning...

i liked the real janky scenes haha. anyone who's read the source material know how edgy alice gets later on? i enjoyed watching the first ep with a friend but he had suspicions it might go madoka.

also hah dang, when the first notes of the ED hit up I took a double take thinking it was kishi bashi

Unscanlated, but the covers are nice. Doesn't seem like an edgy series from the covers anyways

I'm a little unsure about some of the supernatural bits in Alice&Zoroku, and the production values got pretty rough in spots, but other than that the first ep was a winner. Definitely gonna be back for more.

Laughing Salesman: I like the style of the opening, but the character designs in the actual stories (apart from the titular Moguzo) don't work well for me. The two stories in the first episode weren't anything amazing either, in general stories of hubris tend to be a bit too predictable. Giving it the 3-ep test but not amazingly impressed so far.

Previously, they showed the first two episodes in advance, the first episode just aired again, so nothing new yet. I didn't rewatch it to see if they improved anything

Pretty much the same for me, don't think I'll continue watching it. I was expecting something a bit more grim then "here's a magical bar where you can get drunk in the middle of the day with pretty ladies"

I wish New Laughing Salesman was good but its first episode was weak as hell compared to the original series. I'll be watching more for now tho, in hopes that it gets better because with this kind of show the quality can vary on a per episode basis.

Oh so theyre going to run a full season? Figured they were just doing some weird slow release thing like Ancient Magus Bride.

the game has male and female skins for the protagonist, the anime uses the lame male one instead of the female one

The show is based on Granblue, a very popular mobage game. Djeeta is the Female Player Character, so I'm guessing they went with Gran, the Male Player Character, as the protagonist.

Both the protagonist names come from Guranburū Fantajī, with Guran->Gran being taken from the front and Jīta->Djeeta from the tail end.

You can actually freely swap between being a boy and a girl on the main menu. It's good, and there's tons of gag comics based on this fact.
