Agronox posted:Has it? I don’t actually know but some of the later stuff sounded interesting. But I don’t think we’d get anything new anyway unless there was something to promote, and with the author on what seems to be a permanent hiatus... The later novels are similar in quality to the already adapted ones , which means that they need a studio to make a greatly improved anime version. Whether or not modern Kyoani can do it is certainly up for debate. There are definitely some ideas in the later novels that I want to see animated though.

yes e: it's a show where most people didn't like the main plot at all and one of the "better eps" was an age gap romance Motto fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Apr 29, 2018 |

I liked Violet Evergarden. It was uneven, but overall enjoyable.

VE has a weird alt-history thing going on but basically the age gap is your typical period setting nobles arranging a marriage thing and this is the first i'm seeing any hot takes about it being bad or gross the episode was good

if it didn't cost money I would've changed or removed it a while ago, I don't like having it for multiple reasons. e: also I remembered people making jokes about that ep so I assumed they weren't too up on it Motto fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Sure Violet Evergarden had rough spots but Kyoani was able to take pretty much 99% of the iffy stuff out of the Maid Dragon manga for the anime. And also improved on the story too!

violet evergarden had some good individual episodes but was overall kinda eh, but it was kyoani's weakest director working with insanely weak material and it still had some spots that were highlights for insanely talented young staff who will no doubt be kyoani lifers so its still a pretty positive sign for kyoani even if as a whole it isnt great

VE ended up being one of the better last season shows and the animation is lovely. I would say watch it if you don't mind a sketchy plot/characters other than Violet.

Violet Evergarden was pretty drat good for my money and it made me cry like 3 times, which is practically an objective measure of quality. It was definitely a real stand out last season. Also the best ep was probably the sick mom one. Good lord that was emotionally charged. Davincie posted:it might have been better if they actually adapted the material The books sound pretty crappy, actually. Stuff like Violet being some sort of amnesiac demi-god who kills people with a giant axe and the Major actually being alive in the end ruin the entire thing imo.

Sindai posted:Sounds like they removed all the interesting parts of Violet's arc and forgot to replace them with anything else. I mean yeah that sounds pretty silly but almost anything is better than nothing. From what I understand the first part is only implied as the explanation for why shes so good at killing so its not a big focus and the second is just this really stupid thing that comes out of nowhere when she surfs down a mountain on the axe. Also the show is far stronger to have Violets growth take place over the whole thing and not just a few episodes, which a lot of lesser shows would probably do.

VE, to me is definitely a middle of the road show in the previous season. It's extremely pretty, but if you're not invested in Violet's character by the second half, you might as well drop it because it's just about her at that point. A lot of the big emotional development was end loaded into the season as opposed to being spread out which seems like a misstep, IMO. There are bits and bobs of development, but does get overshadowed by the more episodic plots in those episodes.

I mostly remember the story layering on the justifications so thick - The student is a third year and really tall and mature! The teacher is fresh out of college and really short and cute! - that I found myself more distracted by the artificiality of it all than anything. Kindred Spirits is really good overall tho

In novels like Kindred Spirits isn't part of the point is to be a fantasy? There's probably lesbians in highschool with a crush on a teacher who appreciate the outlet where they can ignore the complications of real life.

thats fair but there's good and bad ways of writing that kind of thing imo, not even necessarily in terms of the problematique even but just making it feel like something you can invest in even if its not a fantasy you've had before. same as like, any other story that deals in fulfilling a fantasy. people who aren't attracted to men can still be into otome games if the characters are well written and the relationships seem believable, even if the primary thing the story is trading in is men being attractive.
