Which year is Sirius the Jaeger set? It's clearly after the Russo-Japanese War, Shanghai looks well past the Qing, Tokyo looks very Taisho. But a sizable chunk of the cast is Russian, and I see no evidence for a pretty important event in Russian history... like say a revolution, or a civil war.

So, for instance, the Taisho era has gone on a lot longer than it otherwise would have.

Started the "Demon-Lord" anime the other day. Pretty much a dumbed down version of Overlord with elf tits. Jiggling aside, show is fun enough but nothing spectacular. How is Overlord III? Season one was great but season two dragged loving on with the world building. I love me some story development but holy poo poo was I done with Overlord II by about episode 7. Are we gonna get back to Ains and Albedo beating the poo poo out of people soon? Watching Isekai Izakaya and it feels like a better version of Restaurant to Another World. Its simple but enjoyable. Food anime are good. Cells at Work is also good. RanKizama fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Aug 1, 2018 |

I enjoyed the initial overlord anime and read the manga, but it seems from what I've been told that after a certain point it just becomes increasingly more elaborate and grotesque slaughter of hero groups and doesn't really do much more interesting like with the lizardmen arc. Someone can counter this if they'd like, I stopped reading it a good bit ago.

The lizardmen tribes bit was interesting but it dragged on longer than I felt it needed to. The following stuff with Sebas was mildly more entertaining but overall, season two was kind of a bust for me.

overlord is all about world building and drawing out the growth of very human characters and then having them interact with nazarick's larger-than-life cast of overpowered murder demons. it's a surprisingly thoughtful show compared to how it just seemed like the "haha the succubus has a daki of her skeleton lord. rattle rattle" series from the outside. i like it.

Overlord has a great world that its filling out, but nothing has been really thought provoking outside of how a few of the Nazarick members like Sebas are starting to do their own things. I like Overlord, but it feels a little muddled in how it wants to play itself off. On the flip side, a show like Grancrest War has an extremely well thought out world revolving around politics, religions, and such. However the pacing of the the anime (first half anyway) was heinously fast and a lot of poo poo was ill-explained so you just had to kind of roll with the punches and hope you could keep up.

I guess I willed this into existence because just the other day I was thinking about how there was a modern Adachi series without an anime adaption and that it seemed like the proper time for it to happen.

Hanebado's melodrama is getting so over-the-top as to be unintentionally comedic, and honestly I'm enjoying it for that. The deadly-serious delivery makes it a lot of fun. "My pro badminton player mom abandoned me because I lost a match because my opponent held me down and sneezed on me to get me sick" is just the beginning of the madness.

From what I understand, Hanebado is an adaptation of a manga that went through some huge tonal shifts before it settled on being super dramatic. A lot of the stuff that doesn't really fit at the start is a remnant of when the series had a much lighter tone. I think the should have reworked some things to make them work better but also like, it's fine.

As an aside, the scans for the manga are now entering the terrifying badminton demons style, and it's good.

The series already changed things around a lot. In the manga Ayano plays Connie in the second chapter because there's no extended drama with Nagisa first. She just wins the bet match against Ayano because Ayano unintentionally plays with her racquet in her off hand. It is not explained why. I know that sounds weird but it's literally what happens. The manga has a lot of things like that. Sindai fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Aug 2, 2018 |

I feel like this doesn't really work though because the central character in the dumb bath scene had just finished being The Absolute Worst immediately before that scene, and merrily resumed being The Absolute Worst immediately upon its conclusion.

It’s a message to the audience - ‘these girls are taking badminton way too seriously, and you should not follow their example’. Connie just hasn’t learned it yet.

The 1995 film is glacial and boring, and Innocence is even worse about it While SAC had some slow episodes it never reached the movie's nadir and it frequently solved things at a clip, and it rules. Also the 95 film has so little Batou in it which is a loving crime
