Rikekoi is justified by the animation of Himuro's mini-ponytail.

Caught the first episodes of Somali, Hanako-kun and Destructive God. Somali's setting is super interesting to me, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from episode 1. Hanako-kun's art style and voice acting is superb and really sold me on it, gives me a lot of Natsume's Book of Friends vibes but that's probably just because  .Destructive God felt a little fast paced but I liked the comedy and the characters were pretty good, I wasn't sure if I was going to stick with it at first but it was pretty enjoyable. I've still got a ton of stuff I want to start watching but I've also got a huge backlog to start working through.

22/7 is completely insane. The mysterious glowing wall has chosen us to gather in its illuminati ritual room. We do not know what it will order us to do. Time to... become an idol group? I have no idea where it can realistically go from here that won't be a letdown, but I am in for the ride. I want it to keep making me howl at the television in utter bewilderment every week. I believe in you, 22/7.

I'm sure everyone thought Interspecies Reviewers was going to be terribly trashy, but they were wrong. It is AUDACIOUSLY trashy. It makes Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!? look like a Jane Austen novel. I'm cautiously optimistic on In/Spectre. I like how straightforward Kotoko is and hopefully, Kuro's personality graft will have taken by the next episode. Railgun S3 sure is more Railgun, and that's just fine. Here's a Maple avatar I made out of a twitter .gif

I watched In/Spectre and it was ok, I guess, but can't say it grabbed me. That ed is a bomb, though

Watched the first ep of Plunderer. Big yikes. The ‘sexual deviant is actually the cool guy’ isn’t a new plot in anime, but this was horrifically next level. Does this get toned down at all in the manga, or is it all the way through? Medieval version of Justin Timberlake’s “In Time” is an odd choice, but okay.

Lord Koth posted:Yeah, I don't know if they're planning on just modifying everything to remove them, and just removing most/all of the higher level plot as well, and they just stumble upon the diamond ring or something or if the relevant members will just pop up next episode with no real explanation as to why they're doing what they're doing. I could be off but my guess is if you can look for rings with a camera and map that’s not a hidden treasure. So the rings are one thing (an irrelevant distraction)and the hidden treasure is another

I bring a gift, the first couple minutes of Dorohedoro, subbed(very basically). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BrrHlda25E&hd=1 I watched the first episode raw, it's everything dorohedoro fans could have hoped for. there's some hitchy or not great looking parts with the cgi models at times, and the long, slow shots over lavishly detailed run-down architecture while characters talk offscreen are clearly money saving measures, but most of the first episode was glorious. it is also HILARIOUSLY VIOLENT, so be warned going in, it's going to show dismemberments, and lots of them. I mean, poo poo, the first two minutes above have a dude get chopped into meaty chunks and exploded, and near the end of the episode has ebisu's face being ripped off, and shows it hanging off kaiman's teeth. I seriously cannot wait for the rest of the episodes. give them to meeeeeee please be successful so we get the rest of the series!!!!

Grouchio posted:Give it a few days; someone will step up to the plate, just like when Netflix started this poo poo with Fire Force and others last summer. I think you're mixing up your anime, but yeah most anime that get cosigned to Netflix jail get unofficial subs if it's a really popular series, so I'd say just wait a bit on that one.

I'm liking Id: Invaded. So far the murder dreams have generally been connected to reality in a reasonably interesting and not immediately obvious way, so they work pretty well as self-contained mysteries.

Rikeikoi is full of the type of romcom idiots that I enjoy watching, so it's pretty fun. How does ID: Invaded compare to AI: The Somnium Files? Reading the MAL description the premises seem similar and I've suffering from post-game blues here.

subs are out for dorohedoro and it loving kicks rear end the 3d cg isn't perfect and comes off as kind of awkward somewhat often, but it doesn't look bad ever and the anime absolutely nails it aside from that (the backgrounds in particular are absolutely incredible). it's not a perfect adaptation but it's clearly made by talented people who love and understand the source material, and that makes it a ton of fun to watch. also i didn't find it nearly as gruesome as the manga. people get cut up into chunky bits but it doesn't really dwell on the gore the way you, the reader, can pause and soak in all the gross details when reading a manga. it felt a lot more like it was keeping the spirit of the manga's gore while trying to be a bit less offputting to people who maybe could be a bit more squeamish by that kind of thing. that being said there is still one scene that made me wince, so if you can't handle gore and dismemberment it's more taking the edge off than removing it entirely.

the background work is so good it actually improves on the manga, where some locations are given backgrounds that leave a lot of general details pretty vague this is essentially an anime original image and it's cool as hell, and fits the tone and world of the series well too

Saw the raws of Dorohedoro 1 and while it doesn't get the letter of Hayashida's art 100%, it absolutely gets the loving spirit of it. Also the OP and ED were perfect.

There is no conceivable way they could have nailed the absolute filthiness of the manga without a staggering budget. Frankly, I'm shocked we got it as good as we did. Even the cgi character models have this unclean feeling to them even if they're not coated in filth most of the time.

Unless it’s in partnership with Aniplex or something I haven’t seen a single Blu-Ray for any of the shows they only have. Which sucks because I’d love to own a bunch of them.
