Recovery of an MMO Junkie/Recommendation of the Virtual World had a pretty good first episode. There were a few wierd pacing moments in how it skipped ahead. And the virtual world is super-generic but I guess that's kinda the point.

Where does the protagonist fall in the spectrum of had just given up/lost generation" vs "is actually just a terrible and incompetent person"? I assume it is at least more positive than Watamote.

i gotta agree with pacing issues. the way it instantly jumped from 2 man party, to a full squad without introductions was bizarre. there were also some really badly drawn parts, but otherwise it was decent

Then she was bullied out of her job by her boss, but had enough savings to say "gently caress this poo poo" and become NEET by choice.

Man, upon rewatching Zodiac War's First Episode, all I keep thinking is "The Story is gonna show us that the Awful Boar Lady is right and Monkey is the worst of the bunch, isn't it?" I mean, the Big Brother Dragon just took his deceased younger brother's jewel like nothing, the Boar lady pushed her little sister to commit mass murder and then kill herself and Rabbit seems like a parody of Hisoka, but yeah, the pantsless Girl Scout is evil to the core. Oh boy oh boy. Also watched the MMO Elite NEET Lady show. And from the OP and the rest of the episode, it seems like she just couldn't handle the pressure and decided to give up. Which honestly is a heckuva lot better than to succumb to Karoshi.

the monkey stuff struck me more as personal or ideological, so she may not be exactly as bad as boar would have you expect. people were agreeing to her plan when she's presumably a known entity like ox etc. so her reputation can't be that awful.

Slightly spoilerish since the anime hasn't labeled everyone yet (like how the boar kills in abundance and the rabbit kills strangely), but the manga labels her as  That said, the labels aren't fully literal either, so we'll see where monkey ends up.

Oh boy oh boy. I think it'd be nice if the monkey-girl isn't super-evil, for the very simple reason that it's the less obvious way for things to go. Being more cunning than she lets on seems a given, but it'd be nice if there's some genuine decency there.

Well it's from chapter 1 of the manga, so it's just the anime spacing out information at its own pace. Tempted to pick up the novel though, just cause I'm curious if the whole sister backstory was detailed in the novel or purely an anime invention. The manga just says she killed her sister without elaborating.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:drat, really? I heard so much praise for it in the first half I was really looking forward to watching it. It's not the worst thing in the world. It's gorgeously animated & Nina is a very cute & fun lead, even if she makes the worst decisions in the world. But if you're expecting any kind of sensible payoff to the plot or real character development, oof. Sefal posted:Does Bahamut show up in Season 2? He does! And boy is he angry!

I'm not sure I remember what happened in the last episode of Bahumut. Like I know I watched it, but uh. I guess everyone worked together to defeat Bahamut probably. Really? The show was sooooo good, and really it was... so good. I loved how they just had extended gorgeous animation sequences that rode on these epic music compositions. It's hard to just not loving love it. But yeah like the back half of the back half was really just kinda whatever. Managed to be both slow and rushed at the same time.

they do, but its not half as bad as their pronunciation of 'sieg heil' which i had to rewind a few times since i couldn't believe what i was hearing girls last tour would be stronger if it would commit to a historical setting, rather than this current mishmash of nuclear post apocolypse and soviet/nazi ww2 weaponry (with a few later things like the tupolev they hang around in) with a duo of japanese moeblobs. just make it some german girls escaping through the russian winter or something like that

honestly almost all of rage of bahamuts problems with the story in the back half extend from pathological commitment to the charioce/nina ship. everything nonsensical/terrible is coming from contortions to justify that wretchedness, or a weird attempt to make allessand a pitiable villain which also fell completely flat

its clearly not ww2 post apoc judging by the fact that they show multiple pieces of cold war equipment. its just that everything the girls carry is ww2 german, and most of the destroyed stuff ww2 soviet. i don't need a voiceover ofc, if anything the total lack of exposition is good. its just that the setting comes over more as a grab bag of things the author found cool looking, then consistent. all of this might change later of course

Or why the planet in Trigun has a very wide variety of non-standardized 20th century guns. Pumpkin Scissors was another one where, IIRC, everybody was using random guns from the WWI/interwar period, that and the anti-tank Thompson/Center Contender, but it's been like 10 years since it aired and I barely remember it.

Vanishing Line -Garo-: Is pretty neat, if a bit breezy and plagued by a bit of shaky "cam". I have to wonder if Japan is going through a bit of a "90s American nostalgia for the American 50s" moment right now between this, Space Dandy, and Blood Blockade Battle...
