For the record another manga they removed is Sword Art Online, so perhaps the australian censorship boards are not the most reliable metric for this thing.

Australia has the small boob porn ban, so it's not terribly surprising that they'd have equally stupid laws wrt manga/anime.

Our censorship rating classification boards are filled with the most pearl-clutching conservative fuckwits you can imagine, yes.

I liked season 1, but heard season 2 was dire and didn't bother. Didn't even know they had a season 3...

Season 2 was fine, as was season 3 for the most part, aside from a subpar ending.

Sentai is doing a limited theatrical engagement of three Lupin III episodes, the premiere of the English dub for the first episode of Part 1 and the first two episodes of Part 6.

I didn't realize Part 1 hadn't gotten a dub yet.

Ah, Lupin III Part 1. It got off to a pretty rocky start; the first and third episodes are pretty bad, although the second is OK. The fourth episode is actually good, despite effectively being part of a completely different show from the later, Miyazki-directed episodes. That inconsistency, in terms of tone and continuity as well as quality, is what's really fascinating about the Lupin franchise.

I think Grouchio should be toxxed to actually watch an anime and form his own opinion on it with no outside input (ie youtubers or reddit) or be exiled from the subforum or the very least threadbanned

Well ain't that precious?

I wonder if they are going to try and pad out stand-alone episodes into multi-episode arcs or even worse combine them all into giant arc. Although, I suspect they are at least going to have things keep on tying back to vicious for no good reason.

I admit that I've have a 'don't watch this anime, you fear it won't end well' problem. I also admit that I have been busy with covering for a coworker's vacation at work this week. And that I've spent far more time this year reading manga than watching anime. I don't know why, that's just how it is.

my sincere advice is that people will stop giving you poo poo for not watching anime the minute that you stop repackaging random anime youtuber videos as your opinion with zero extra insight to a work

Personally I don’t really care what someone on YouTube thinks of a work, I want to know what’s interesting about it and seeing you go “this is bad (according to Johnny the anime guy)” is just noise. Anyways good luck with everything it’s a crazy world :cheers:

I doubt Remake our life will get a second season but it was easily my favourite anime of the summer.

It lost a little steam near the end but other than that it's basically everything I want in having characters that are proactive and a plot that's willing to let itself breathe to ratchet up tension for further down the line.

I end saying that if he doesn't end up with Kawasegawa then I will riot.
