After one episode Granblue Fantasy is okay. I know it's based off the mobile game, which I bounced off, but while it doesn't seem like it's going to be another Rage of Bahamut I'm liking it well enough.

But it's a portmanteau of Kyoto Animation, which famously got attacked by an arsonist in the worst mass killing in post-ww2 japanese history like a week ago

the problem with the granblue anime is that they adapt all of the story, and that story has massive amounts of padding because of the format of the game. it's bland.

I remember liking the couple episodes I watched of it but never got around to finishing it. No Rage of Bahamut, not by a longshot, but enjoyable all the same.

So I finally got around to watching Ouran High School Host Club and I just hit episode 10.

...I’m sure this episode was respectful for its time but yikes the years have not been kind to the language used regarding Haruhi’s father.

Yeah I just rewatched that a month ago and noticed the same thing. It also reminded me that Vic whatever his name is is a total garbage person and I didn't know about any of that stuff when I first saw it.

Thanks. I thought it was a genre description.

Yeah, the stuff with Haruhi's dad didn't age very well. It's kinda jarring since overall, everyone seems to treat him with respect. Even his one co-worker that kinda gives him poo poo for his night habits goes out drinking with him and drags him home to tell Haruhi, "hey, kid, you really kinda upset your dad and he thinks it's because of his hobbies, so maybe you should ease up on him." But some of the dialogue is absolutely stuff that nobody in their right mind would have used even just a couple years later, I think.

In a perfect world, I suppose we'd get a new dub that changes the language about the dad and also gets rid of Vic while keeping the other cast members.

Also the guy who voiced one of the twins is also The Drifter in Destiny 2, which is a real :psyduck: revelation when you learn it and can't unhear Drifter's sleazy, shady comments having a bit of Hikaru in them

Finally watched Children of the Whales. It's pretty decent, but it kinda sputters out after sinking the enemy ship and probably should've wrapped up there. It feels like a season and a half of content, and stopped just where a second season would've started ramping up the drama. The OP's great too.

Also goddamn was that show was brutal when it wanted to be :suspense:. Though some deaths you could see coming a mile away, like Captain Headpats.

It only covers around half (iirc) of the source material.

It'd be nice to get a second series to finish it but I'm guessing there's no money in it as you can't merchandise that kind of show well.

Is anyone else watching 7seeds? Is anyone else as confused with it as I am? It has a very shoujo look, but there is a poo poo ton of edgelord stuff like a trolley of naked gassed dead people being emptied into a meat chipper built expressly for that purpose. Oh and a woman just randomly rips the head off of a goose and squeezes the blood from it onto her outstretched tongue. Also, for some reason I'm having a hard time properly suspending my disbelief for it...

BTW 'Enter the Anime' is basically a (pretentious) ad for Netflix's anime meant for people who don't watch anime. It's not worth watching.

it's an excellent 30+ volume manga cut down to 13 episodes. don't bother. however, after like 10 years of incredibly slow progress the manga was finally been fully translated about a month ago.

Why would they call what they have currently 'part 1' if it was only one season though?

Noticed something neat with Cannon Busters; If you look at the top-left corner of Bessie's arcade display when it pops up in an episode, it lists the current part of the episode as the Stage (-A for pre-ad-break, -B for if it's after it).

I just want to know why Bessie runs on quarters. It doesn't have to make sense, I just want to see what dumb reason they'd come up to justify for a giant Caddillac that turns into a robotic minotaur which runs on quarters :allears:. (Aside from being fuckin' awesome, of course)

I really hope it gets a second season. Least of all because it ends on a cliffhanger :argh:.

One of my favourite bits is in the last episode though, where they do the classic "catch someone from a big fall with the giant robot" bit, only this time because it's Philly physics actually gets to have some input on what would happen when a person falls at terminal velocity onto a metal palm :gibs:.

Philly being immortal is one of the best parts of the show. It allows for him to be owned in entertaining ways everytime he's a dick.

They are going to release a longer version of the opening, right?

I also love how the show displays its weaknesses. Just because he is immortal doesn't mean he can't go into purgatory. Such as being digested by a plant constantly or being magician ghost good for eternity.

Finished Cannonbusters. Great show. Solid 8/10. That said, did it ever answer to why S.A.M. and Casey were looking for Philly in the first place?

He's a (supposedly) legendary badass outlaw and S.A.M. thought someone like him would be ideal for escorting them around as a protector after Casey told her about him.

He's been around since the Sorcerous Age, has a massive bounty on his head with Wanted posters everywhere, and a long history of pissing people off. Everyone knows, or at least knows of, Philly The Kid.

It's hilarious that had only died 22 times after all those years, yet he nearly doubles that by the end of their first adventure. I wonder why he doesn't age then...

He got the good kind of immortality. Mainly because, unlike Jojo who got cursed with it and permanently stuck as a child for pissing off a Sorceress, he entered into a contract willingly to get revenge for his dead parents.
