I'm fairly certain that the only works Yoshiki Tanaka has legit finished with an actual ending that made sense are Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Tytania.

Relin posted:you know arslan is based on still running novels and uses arakawa's style right guys. the manga is not holding it back. it got bad when they caught up with the manga cause they couldn't steal from it anymore, the anime never even got close to the end of the novels

yeah, manga can serve as a basis for storyboards and the Arslan anime was ostensibly based on the manga (used Arakawa's designs), so it declining in quality around when the anime caught up is probably related

Welcome to the Ballroom Centaur's Worries Shoukoku no Altair Fate/Apocrypha (everything Fate-related not done by Ufotable seems like a coin flip, but 50:50 odds are a drat sight better than a lot of other pitches) Restaurant to Another World New Game+ (wasn't expecting to like the first one but it won me over) Kakegurui Made in Abyss Owarimonogatari 2nd Season The Irresponsible Galaxy☆Tylor (don't have high hopes for this one tbh but I loved the original series so I feel obligated to at least check it out) Decent slate of interesting-looking shows this season, though I guess it remains to be seen how many hold up (and how many are watchable without a subscription to yet another goddamn streaming service).

Wark Say posted:Isn't that worse than being Offensively Bad? I mean, a show being awful and people making GBS threads on it is basically a career as a "Professional YouTuber" nowadays. When a show is loving dull, they're usually not worth mentioning. The difference between dull and offensively bad is like Black Butler season 1 and season 2, and I wish I could actively forget the latter.

I recall reading somewhere that what apparently got Daisuke Ono his chance to audition to be re-cast as Jotaro (everyone aside from Koyasu had to be recast for the Stardust Crusaders anime coming from the All-Star Battle game) was a really good performance in a really lovely show. Every time I remember, I wonder if it was because of Black Butler and I snicker a little.

most hype: Princess Principal, cos 3Hz's other recent anime original, flip flappers, was my favorite anime last year, soundtrack by yuki kajira so at a minimum should have good music Kakegurui: safest pick this season curious for: 18if: different director every episode, which gives this potential to be experimental and cool like space dandy. or it might be poo poo we'll see Made in Abyss: like the unique art style, and especially the background art. The Reflection Wave One: stan lee apparently made an anime w/ the director for mushishi. why not Vatican Miracle Examiner: pope maybe: Restaurant to Another World: after gazillionth seasons of hell girl and monogatari this is apparently what japanese nerds voted as their most anticipated anime this season. maybe they are onto something? NTR: Netsuzou TRap yeah why not Homura and Sickle fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Most cute shows would focus on the girls & their activities, but there are chapters devoted to bloody civil wars or the struggles of a girl with a deadbeat single dad. The schoolteacher says "Unity is sometimes more important than our individual rights, more important than our very lives" and then is thanked by a man in a military uniform. These are the things that make the manga really interesting though! I'm looking forward to the anime. HellCopter fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Jun 23, 2017 |

Restaurant to Another World is interesting because I picked up a manga on a whim recently called Another World Tavern Nobu (Isekai Izakaya Nobu) which is pretty drat similar in concept. I guess the surging popularity of Food-based series' and Isekai based series' are just merging at this point. Also, I am noticing a lot of negativity towards Re:Creators in this thread. I only watched the first two episodes but it seemed really neat, did it go to poo poo after that or start dragging?

everything you mentioned is just military fiction with near-zero intrinsic political slant except the GATE source material that apparently some goons liked to sit in a circle around and bash. it's not like the AoT kids finally get in the basement and it's the Italian fascist manifesto or a framed photo of Hirohito. oh wait, Mahouka depicts all on-screen Chinese people as evil terrorist caricatures that the MC wants to purge. maybe that's part of what you were looking for

The Mahouka light novels were a game-changer for me: In early 2012, I got a friend in Tokyo to hunt down and send me the first half of the Gundam Unicorn novels because the I was really into the OVA's. In further exchanges through email, Skype, text messages and the like, he started mentioning in our exchanges that there was this Light Novel series that I might be into. That series was Mahouka. At around June-July 2012, I actually got the second package from my friend which included the back half of the Unicorn novels and the first 2 arcs of Mahouka (Volumes 1 through 4). The reason that I wrote that first sentence about the Mahouka novels being a personal game-changer is that I'm fairly confident that those loving novels broke my brain: For real, the novels were so bad, they made me realize how much time I've had wasted in media that I honestly do not give one flying gently caress about. Like, there's stuff that I'll watch with friends while drinking and such, or the "So bad it's good" / guilty pleasure shlock that I still dig. However,all I needed to do was read this piece of fiction that was so vile, so up-its-own-rear end and just plain lovely, it flipped a switch in my brain that went "Man, this sunk-cost bullshit has got to stop", and it caused me to drop a bunch of long-running things that I knew in the back of my head were no longer among my jams: Among the things I can still half-remember dropping are Bleach, the Index novels, the SAO novels, the Marvel movies, and cheese knows how many other shows, comics and books. I think that I also stopped reading / bookmarking webcomics with the sole exception of Gunnerkrigg Court (which I still follow to this day). I actually started giving away stuff that I've been hoarding. So yeah, the Mahouka novels were so loving bad that they made me reevaluate my life choices in regards to what I use my time to entertain myself with.
