Actually, come to think of it, which recent-ish shows have gone completely, hideously sideways after a not-terrible start? I know a lot of goons got mad about Kuma Miko, for one, and Virgin Soul did have the all-consuming Sexy Anime Hitler romance arc.

I enjoyed the show way more watching it weekly than when I would binge it so maybe catch up slowly
I did the opposite of this and enjoyed it a lot so I might do the same for season 2

Don't remind me. Funimation was really pushing that one, too.

a lot of people kept saying it was the anime's fault for skipping content but it's always sounded to me like the manga just sucked to begin with and the anime just ran dry of the good stuff really quick cause that studio's been doing lots of good stuff since then

The rare series where anime original content would have been preferred. That show had a cool premise, hella style, and an adorable robot. It deserved so much better.

studios aren't really that big a deal since like 70% of the staff including writers and directors are often freelancers. neither the director of dimension w nor the guy in charge of series composition for it worked on any of studio 3hz's shows after it, and those would be the two guys to decide what parts of the manga to skip or abbreviate.

Yes, I recently decided to cowboy up and finally finish it. It's a weird show and it's kinda lovely, but at least it seems enthusiastic about its shittiness. Also NANA-SAMA SONGS

they are heavily changing the early chapters of uq holder for the anime, presumably so they can rush into the harem hijinks which wouldn't really start until like the third cour otherwise. the negima anime curse continues.

the thing about the stuff that got skipped was that it helped to establish um...what's his name's character as more than an rear end in a top hat so without that he ended up being way more one-note.

it also didn't help that the manga translation was super slow so the folks who were into it ran out of content we'd seen pretty early on and yeah apparently all the cool stuff was very front-loaded so that was a big disappointment :(

You need to be a badass first.
I backed out of Dimension W when I discovered they condensed the entire Loser chapter into a single episode when I feel like spacing things out would have helped it somewhat. Never knew that it would get real bad after that (then again, I only read up to the cyber ghosts arc in the manga so)

I watched like the first four or five eps on Toonami and then came back around the last two or three and had absolutely zero idea what the gently caress was happening

the OP was good and dumb cause it's got like a ten second bit where the MC dances that even he gets bored of by the end

e: yeah nvm this show was alright

I dunno if it will sustain past the gender swap reveal, but maybe it'll just go gayer or something. That seems to kind of be the question.

Apparently the manga's still going on, and I assume diverges significantly from the show. Anyone know if it's any good?

Konohana Kitan's going on real strong. The 3rd episode in particular had, of all things, a scene that dealt with casual groping with more sensitivity and intelligence than I think I've seen in an anime.

Weak cliffhanger from King's Game this week- just "Phone is ringing from classmate in group B" and dramatic expression from the recipient of that call.

EDIT:
Weird, so they decided to make the sequel, but cover the original through "flashbacks" (which I'm pretty sure have taken well more than half of the runtime to this point), in the process spoiling the story into which they're putting all of their effort:
