Nijigasaki to me feels like the strongest 1st season out of all the Love Live's cause of the character focus. It made it feel like it's in a middle ground between the first 2 season and Aikatsu. Been loving the series and it's a close second behind Adashima for my favorite show of the season

But what about all the performative anger from westerners on Twitter? Won't that somehow harm the company producing it and not, say, both raise awareness of it and turn it into a cause celebre for their political opponents

It's not really a joke if it does the same thing as the original (self-validation for your own opinions), but I didn't realize I didn't skip to last page.

What is this [S T A N D] going to do? Once its crossed through the barrier, what's it going to do? When it comes in here, and reads my [P O S T S], what's it going to do to me?
This season, as the first I've seen, of love live is really fun, but there are definitely too many girls.

Also I finished Symphogear S3 the other week, and while I really enjoyed it I do get why people say it's a lot weaker than the previous two. Keen to keep going though, because it's exactly the sort of trash I love.

You can do a lot worse than Symphogear, though!

It's like a baby who grew up watching Fraggle Rock, The Muppets and whichever Saturday Morning cartoon of your fancy then went to discover that J-Pop, Buttrock, Magical Girls, Mechas and popcorn blockbuster films were the bee's knees and finally got really into JRPG's and elaborate live acts.

(Watch more Symphogear!)

More people definitely need to watch Symphogear. It's such a fun ride and most of the songs are legit ear worms. I do also love that it's fairly self aware, like they explain and actively use their long transformation sequences a few times and other things like that.

Definitely one of the thing things I got in love live was to expect them to punch something whenever they started singing.

Well, I'm sad to say it, but after today's ep I'm dropping Magatsu Wahrheit. It's a shame, I really wanted to like this one; it was clear the writers had invested energy in this world and its characters, in the beginning at least. And the production budget clearly wasn't very high, but at least there was minimal poor 3DCG that is the telltale sign of collapse in so many other anime. But that latest episode looked... bad. Really bad. It's clear the schedule has collapsed behind the scenes. I would expect the next episode to be a recap episode if it weren't going to be the finale. Honestly, it still might be.

After looking at next season's lineup, I'm going to give these a shot:

Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari (Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town?) - Jesus, why do so many anime series have titles that are almost a paragraph? At least it's not another isekai.

Kemono Jihen - I'm in the mood for something supernatural and this might do it.

Tenchi Souzou Design-bu (Heaven’s Design Team) - I always need at least one silly show, and this one looks like the silliest. Can't wait to see them explain the Platypus.

The platypus chapter is extremely silly iirc. The Koala one is shown in the trailer and it's also amusing just because of the elements that goes into it and the end result being the drop bear.

Eh, the animation has always been loose and wobbly, but it's expressive (Inumael and Ilma in particular have routinely excellent faces that combine with smarter-than-usual dialogue to liven up all the doomsday prophecy/political infodumping) and reliably conveys the on-screen action. It's certainly not a Wizard Barristers-style catastrophe, just a somewhat unpolished B-anime.

I think it was announced as far back as 2019, but why not: I mean, as far as "very clearly influenced by Jojo"-comics go, there are worse things that might stand a chance of getting popular once again.

I don't believe Crunchyroll has any significant amount of creative control over their 'originals'. They just throw money at IPs they think might be worth their while.

It's more likely the level of control they have varies. They've been on production committees before and even as a junior member they'd have been able to make waves regarding direction.

I think it's more likely they just don't care.

They're being bought out by Sony and Funimation, so there's probably zero care-factor from their staff right now.

Given what’s happened in recent days with them burning off the rest of that Mayan(?) themed original, that seems the most likely. Hell, this had to have been in production, whatever it counts for, before the buyout but they knew AT&T were on the warpath so maybe the doom had already set in by that point.

Funimation for some reason uploaded Akudama Drive on PS5 (and maybe PS4) with Spanish subs and googling it the problems been there since they uploaded the episode and have done jack poo poo to fix it since it happened. I love when companies feel like they don’t need to give a poo poo. I guess I should find a work around. Apparently works fine if you watch it on PC or phone so maybe just cast it to TV.

I like how the models are completely incapable of moving their lips independently of their jaws - down to the one guy whose lopsided smirk stays on even as his jaws mechanically snap open and closed.

My favourite is the total lack of eye movement beyond the rare occasional blink so they all stare dead-eyed straight ahead.
