I hope Hyouka and Nichijou are on the way too, since they seem to be cleaning up KyoAni's catalogue.

Could be worse.

It could have landed on Amazon. As irritiating as it was having LWA on Netflix, people at least seemed to hear about it and watch it when it came out.

That would rule, they did at least have Nichijou when it was airing. You can buy Hyouka digitally on amazon video (not Strike) but I don't really know what that means for crunchy's shot at getting it.

That's a Sentai catalog title so it's on their weird HIDIVE thing. Probably not coming anywhere else.

Children of the Whales ep3 leaves me uncertain about the show. The menacing emotionless killers standing around letting people run in front of them to hug and cry, and in general showing lots of emotion was pretty dumb. Maybe if the show actually addresses how they're not actually emotionless it'll work out well enough, but having the attackers stand stock still for a couple minutes so children could run past them and cry and our friends could wonder wtf was happening, and then suddenly turning and killing a kid lightning fast was just dumb. It's still pretty, but I miss the sense of wonder that the first ep and a half had, and I want it to be less dumb.

Yeah, them standing there letting people chat was a bit awkward. I'm curious if it's something that will actually come up 'cause all the masked people seemed oddly casual about the whole thing in general and there was that moment where one of them got moved like a puppet by one of the others to attack

It's interesting to compare against, for example, Negima!? and Mahou Sensei Negima. While not a drama like FMA and Kino, they covered largely different storylines in very different ways down to having seemingly different and mutually exclusive mechanics for the magic systems. Shaft (presumably Xebec wasn't involved in the conversation at that point) did a brilliant job of not making the story feel either rushed or excessively-familiar, even for someone who watched both series back to back. And despite ignoring a couple of seemingly-major plot beats from the early series (largely revolving around Asuna) you still got a feel for the characters, their personalities and their respective places in the world.

I keep meaning to get around to reading the manga to see how both plotlines actually intertwine, but have not as yet.

wait there's someone who's watched both adaptations of Negima but hasn't read the manga :psyduck:

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Fall season early impressions roundup of shows without threads:

Drunk Wife - Cute, but kinda bland.

Code:Realize - I don't even remember the premise, it had that little impact.

Blend-S - I'm probably going to drop this 3 episodes too late, but watching for now. Also, this meme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jp3UjNNpSU

TWOCAR - There has to be a name for what this is, because it isn't CGDCT, and it's not the first to do it. I'll call it: Cute Girls Showcasing A Thing Inexplicably, so CGSATI. It appears I'm not fond of CGSATI shows. Anyways, as if the world needed a Bakuon clone, but here we are.

Just Because - Pine Jam is doing ok so far, but man I wish this show were made by KyoAni. Can't wait to see the wheels fall off.

My Girlfriend is Shobitch - gently caress you.

Shokugeki no Souma 3 - It's more Shokugeki no Souma. There are less food orgasms this time around, but I feel like I'm about to eat those words.

A Sister is All You Need - gently caress YOOOOUUU.

Apparently if you survive more than seven seconds into this show it goes to absolutely insane places before revealing itself to be the main character's draft of an anime or something. The show is probably still trash, but I kind of respect the... willingness to make people run away screaming?

Inuyashiki seems like it has the potential to be the sleeper hit of the season. I'm worried that it is paced a bit slowly and will fall apart at the end, but the setup has been really working for me and I want so much more of it.

Well, it tones it down a little anyway, but doesn't stop. It really shouldn't take three episodes to get onto his using the people around him as characters to write some fantasy stuff that isn't trash, evidenced by the opening. Nor should it take three episodes to get past why he no-sells all of Kani's shenanigans.

That kind of poo poo coming out of Atra's voice actor is just plain entertaining, though.

This week's Just Because was another fantastic episode. It's my favourite show so far this season.

I watched the entire first episode. I am additionally disgusted by the rest of it, and the simple projection of what the show is doing and what it wants to be.

Man, I remember hearing about Kiyotaka Oshiyama personally drawing key frames and sleeping in the office just to barely get the last episode of Flip Flappers out the door, and now here's KyoAni maybe going to finish VEG before the first episode even airs. That's nuts.

kyoani also has vastly more money and time than studio 3hz but the flip flappers situation wasn't exactly rare except for the insane amount of frames personally animated by its director
