the only thing i remember about s2 of danmachi is the entire 'im in love with a stripper' sideplot where there's a girl who works at a brothel whos a major character and there's a plotpoint made out of the protag having a surprised reaction at first but then learning to accept and respect her line of work, and then in literally the last 45 seconds someone goes 'also shes never had sex, she just cooks' and the protag goes 'oh'

she went on about how she was impure and should just let the amazons that own her kill her in their ritual sacrifice thing, which you watch play out over the back half of that season. one of the secondary antagonists is a huge toad-like amazon who seems to only exist to be disgusting and threaten characters (mostly bell) sexually just felt tedious and the season overall didn't have any of the strong production that helped elevate s1

For the iota of anything it's worth, I think the Ishtar girls only discussed among themselves that Haruhime never had sex (and are like "eh, why tell her?"), and Bell remains ignorant of the fact.

S2 also had the Apollo family arc which was okay in LN form but felt flat in the adaptation. The quality of animation never really measured up to the first season either, so I’m not expecting much from season 3.

Danmachi had one month of peak relevance with boob strings. Then Konosuba kicked its rear end.

Maybe it'll be easier to tell some of the characters apart with colored hair.

kater posted:I watched the first ep of god of hs and uh... does it keep being that? Cuz dang. For good and bad. The fights are cool and the animation is good, but the story honestly sucks. It’s super content to just keep throwing out questions upon questions for the main plot with no answer, and so the answers you do get for things are usually just small character bits about their past or some random thing that isn’t overly important. It’s something that originally was high on my list of shows i’m watching this season but now I’d put squarely middling. Not bad, but not great.

That's unfortunately kind of inevitable when you're only adapting the first 15-20% of a story. Heck the entire truth of Park Mujin and Sang Manjin's past just got revealed a few weeks ago in the webcomic, 400 chapters past where the anime is. Come to think of it Tower of God is still hasn't answered a ton of big questions raised in its first arc.

What kind of answers do you want from what is as far as I can tell looney tunes mma? I don’t mean like I’m sure it can get stale but I just watched god knows how many tedious episodes of alicization and I’m very excited for something that knows it is loving stupid. kater fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 17, 2020 |

kater posted:What kind of answers do you want from what is as far as I can tell looney tunes mma? The Looney Toons have significantly stronger, clearer, and more consistent personalities, motives, and conflicts than most of the GOHS cast. It's less like a Warner Bros cartoon and more like one of those context-free Greatest Fight Scenes of All Time AMVs, with all the downtime that exists mainly serving to make the whole thing dumber and more confusing (like with the female lead's first big spotlight episode having her almost become the teen bride of a celebrity cult lieutenant who wants to steal her ancestral sword, which he later gives to a shapeshifter so that said shapeshifter can face her in a high school MMA match/deity recruitment interview and beat the crap out of her while disguised as a Cho Aniki protagonist). I mean, that arc does culminate with her discovering that she's the spiritual heir of Lu Bu Fenxian, so it's not all bad, but dear lord, there is such a thing as letting your characters breathe and develop before you throw all that on them.

kater posted:What kind of answers do you want from what is as far as I can tell looney tunes mma? Then don’t raise a bunch of questions and centre it around a plot that is constantly prodding you like it matters but doesn’t? There’s a lot out there that when it knows it’s stupid makes sure the plot doesn’t get in the way of the action. Someone at my work compared it to Tenjho Tenge and having recently researched it I get where he was coming from. However TT was smart enough to know to constantly move the plot along to make sure it’s working in favour of the fights. Just to be clear, I don’t think GoHS is a bad show, it’s just completely mediocre when it brings up its plot and unfortunately it does it often. If it was just thing huge tournament arc with crazy fights I probably would have enjoyed it more.

don't forget that tenjo tenge got lost in an extended flashback for like a third of the manga and over half of the anime.

I just rewatched it, of course I didn’t forget. Yes it did a flashback, but it was still entertaining. I liked it. What sucks about Tenjho Tenge is where the manga ultimately ended up, I still hate where the story went to this day.

God of High School feels like a webcomic where the author spends a lot of time on their own fan forums and thus has an inflated view of everyone's buy in to the character and settings. Like "oh I mentioned this one off thing in a lore thread, but did I remember to say it in the comic itself?" then just blowing on full steam ahead anyways. Which isn't an inherently bad thing, but means that it's big world adult fights and the tournament feel like they're entirely different shows that would each benefit from being separate. Though some people are saying that it's compressing a lot of stuff, so that feeling could just be coincidence on my part.

Looks like they just announced an anime adaptation of the SAO Progressive novels, which is the author going back and rewriting the SAO arc https://twitter.com/sao_anime/status/1307340085889699840?s=20

Progressives not quite a rewrite, its more like various sidestories that take place during it. Since theres so many timeskips during the original sao arc it fills in those gaps.

on the one hand, sigsawa is generally a more consistent writer. on the other hand, kawahara isnt a rightwing gunnut.

it's funny to me that one of the defining differences between the 2003 kino's journey anime and the 2017 one is that the colosseum arc in the 2003 anime is largely focused on kino's relationship with the people they fight against and the growing tensions of it, and the 2017 one just has like a five minute scene of kino doing gun stuff and then they shoot the guy and it immediately ends
