The early parts of Iruma are definitely the weakest. It takes a while to introduce the entire core cast and it doesn't really hit its stride until they're all there because they're all great.

Nitrousoxide posted:I mean, if it follows the light novels then it’s going to have an awkward pacing event as well when we suddenly stop following the humans for three or four books and you forget everything that’s happened in the human story line. Yeesh, it sounds like they'll have to run the whole thing through an editing pass with a Cuisinart to try to keep it all together coherently. It kinda sucks, since I like the protagonist so far and there's a definite plot worth following here, but making sense of it all seems a herculean task. I have to ask: Is there a point in this series (manga or novels) where the protagonist finally gets in touch with her classmates? I know the manga has her discover one reincarnated as a baby vampire, but that's as far as I've gotten.

Iruma is some of the funniest poo poo I've seen, and it also has one of [cast member] Ono Daisuke's best performances.

Yes though the story has layers of misdirection to it too, so nothing is quite what it seems.

Furnaceface posted:Wait what? I missed this announcement apparently. Im constantly bouncing between Iruma and Mob as the best anime Ive watched since I started posting here and a second season of that might just seal the deal if its even half as adorable and wholesome. Behold. Same staff again, too.

The classmate "arc" basically ends with them meeting her on a number of occasions... before you know that the character they're meeting is the spider girl. The spider girl perspective catches up but it takes god drat forever. Given the pace of the anime and it's full double cour length, the anime will probably end right when it becomes clear that they're the same character, which is like volume 7. Spoder plot is pretty twisty. Supremezero fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Jan 24, 2021 |

Iruma's getting an S2 (and maybe an S3) so quickly because there's a bunch of stuff already available to adapt, not to mention official spin-off stuff they might include in to pad things out as necessary. Without enough material, there's no adaptation.

I do hope that Reki keeps upgrading and modifying Langa's deck throughout Sk8. I want to see him end up riding some utterly insane bastardisation of a skateboard by the end of the series.

SK8 is real loving good and the cast is such a lovable bunch of dopes. Its kind of fun to see such a huge age range in the cast too, especially for something like skateboarding which is typically associated with high school and teenagers.

Either it's just me or somehow Non Non Biyori has devolved into a skit show instead of capturing Daily Life of growing up in fictional-perfect rural Small-Town Japan with admittedly a bunch of adorable doofuses. Either way its still good but no longer excellent Edit: I am saddend

https://twitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1353362176875012097 I've read a few chapters of Jigokuraku a while ago and it was pretty but the plot didn't seem like anything special and I wasn't in the mood for gory action so I put it on hold. Has anybody here read it?

Shows I've watched so far, in approximate order of how much I'm enjoying them: Non Non Biyori S3 + Yuru Camp S2: Exactly what I expected, both still excellent. Wonder Egg Priority: First two episodes were great. Not the easiest watch, but great direction and very pretty. Horimiya: Not exactly groundbreaking, but consistently entertaining romantic comedy, good number of funny faces. Attack on Titan: The ambitious setup for the final season has got me hooked, plus the OP and the ED are both great. Re:Zero: All of the setup of the previous half of the season is finally starting to pay off, we'll see if it was worth it. Urasekai Picnic: Strong start but has felt a bit aimless since then, the two main characters are good though. Beastars: New OP is a bop, and it looks like they're finally addressing the dead alpaca thing from season 1. Promised Neverland: The constant tension that made season 1 great is gone, not much left in its place. Jujutsu Kiasen: OH BOY A TOURNAMENT ARC ------ "probably going to drop" cut-off point ------ Cells at Work: Didn't love season 1, not loving season 2, inoffensive enough that I can't hate it either. Kemono Jihen: Probably just not for me, plus Jujutsu Kiasen is already filling more or less the same niche. Gekidol: Might have to keep watching this until they finally acknowledge the giant Ikebukuro-shaped hole. Cells at Work Black: Turns out that CaW without the wholesomeness is mostly just a miserable experience.

The third episode was anime-original filler and I'm not sure why since there's easily enough source material to last them the whole season. It was a real step down in quality.

macabresca posted:https://twitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1353362176875012097 it's basically that, nice looking manga with enjoyable characters after it gets going they'll need to really make animating the monsters a priority, but i figure that stuff is likely to end up as cg

I like Jigokuraku. I think it's at its strongest early on when it's kind of a horror series about a bunch of hapless wuxia protagonists stumbling into a xianxia villain's lair. Later it turns into more of a regular fighting manga so it really depends on how pretty the anime is.

Yeesh, all that character is missing is a set of lips projected on the face and it's "Metal Clutch Cargo Solid" Meanwhile, it looks like "Last Dungeon" has finally settled into its groove, which looks like a harem anime around a young doofus. Fantasy Tenchi Muyo. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
