Reik posted:It's only by the end of the second episode that the main character knows every maid there is in on it, it's not just that Ranko is a murder maniac. There's still room for this kind of stuff, and I imagine the fact that the old lady was killed in 1985, around the same time Ranko would've been born, will come up sooner or later. The show's set in 1999.

Ranko's also pretty clearly in the 1985 scene.

Been watching Raven of the Palace and I'm really getting into it so far but I just have one issue with it. The series is drenched in the styles of Chinese imperial palace intrigue, but the dialog is in Japanese. It's just a little jarring. It's like if I was watching a movie set in the court of Louis XIV at Versailles but the film itself was in German. My brain just kind of rebels against it a little bit, even if I am otherwise enjoying it.

It's rare but it makes me appreciate movies and shows that do languages properly more. Like there's some German TV show about initial roman moves into Germania and I saw a clip on YouTube of some smug officer yelling out what their tribute had better be if they didn't want to get razed in Latin and as soon as he leaves all the villagers are like 'oh man we're hosed I have no idea what he said'. A less ambitious production would have just given them two different accents and either stuck with an imaginary language barrier for the viewer or just pretended they spoke the same language anyway.

More Than A Married Couple, but Not Lovers isn't going to turn any sakuga heads, but I'm still really liking how it does a lot with lighting and shading. The vibrant colors were a bit odd at first, but it seems like it's letting them do a lot more with contrast and they're really making use of that full range for contrast. The ED also still rules and crunchyroll actually bothered to translate it.

Coaaab posted:this is every historical film hollywood's ever made that didn't take place in an english-speaking country For me at least, the issue is degrees of separation. It’s not logical I know but it is what it is. If it’s just actors speaking my own language in a foreign setting I can deal with it. It’s the Translation Convention. I know they’re not really speaking English. But when you add a third language to that, in the case of Raven Palace Japanese, it adds like a whole extra layer that breaks my brain and I see Japanese pretending to be Chinese pretending to be English (subs) and I just start drooling. Even though I normally don’t like dubs at all, this is a case where the dub (is this show even getting a dub?) would be much better because it puts the language back to a simple Chinese>English instead of Chinese>Japanese>English. Again I know it’s not logical but it hurts my monkey brain.

Maybe use less brain. Really, the only funky thing for me is the names. The subs have their name in Chinese, but the audio is the Japanese equivalent.

Early this season I am enjoying G-Witch, Shipponai, and Chainsaw Man. I missed LycoReco, though, so I may drop Shipponai and Chainsaw Man for their (apparently superior) manga and just get caught up on secret police yuri. I adore Taisho stories like Shipponai and would love to be pointed towards others of note.

ok i am home from vacation and have finally tried all the new shows that looked like something Chainsaw Man - a little underwhelmed by how this handled the emotional beats and the action setpiece, but i think the next episode will be more telling as to whether it's gonna be a good or just adequate adaptation. really don't want to have to become a 'manga was better' guy, that which i hate. Gundam Witch from Mercury - great stuff so far, wearing a lot of fun influences on its sleeve, not much else to say that other people haven't Do It Yourself - despite being this board's biggest dennou coil fan i did not pick up any of the hints that this was gonna secretly be a mitsuo iso show until people in the know came out and confirmed it. actually watching the first episode makes it a lot more obvious with the handiwork vs automation themes being set up. such a strong cohesive style to the whole thing Bocchi the Rock! - closer to watamote than hitoribocchi, which i was not expecting but is very welcome. Akiba Maid War - lol hell yeah. give up your humanity to become a cute maid, indeed. love when a season's best 1st episode comes from an unexpected place. Raven of the Inner Palace - my plea for more mystery LNs to get adapted is finally being heard. enjoying this one more than a lot of the heavy hitters honestly. unfortunately it's a pretty average-looking show but at least they made sure to animate her stupid fat pet bird and that's what really matters My Master Has No Tail - decent little comedy with good character designs and a nice throughline about the importance of storytelling. i'll always watch taisho anime unless they're actively bad Management of Novice Alchemist - i like the atelier games so was hoping this show that looks like someone's atelier OC fanfic would scratch that itch but there's almost nothing going on under the hood here. weak comedy, bland setting/atmosphere, no real drama. i love slice of life anime but they need to be good at one of those things or they are just air. Shinobi no Ittoki - interesting texture to this one, it's an original but feels like some B-list shonen from 15 years ago. it didn't really accomplish much in the first episode but there's just enough breadcrumbs for things i like that i'm willing to give it a chance Fuufu Ijou - lovely color design in this but some of the comedy is really grating and it doesn't seem to have a smart angle on its dumb premise. i was open to liking this but nope Sword isekai - i couldn't make it to the halfway point of episode 1 sorry. i wanted to see the catgirl but no catgirl is worth sitting through 12 minutes of masturbatory RPG stat rundowns i didn't watch Love Flops but based on all the perplexed impressions i saw plus the fact that it's an original by a SciAdv writer, it is clearly Up To Something. dunno if i want to sit through an indeterminate number of apparently unpleasant setup episodes though to find out what it's doing

Sakurazuka posted:Turns out being an alchemist also makes you a ruthless monster murder machine I got such an incredible kick about the way the show suddenly pulled that swerve. From "So I guess there are hell monsters in this setting" to "well, I guess main girl knows how to avoid hell monsters" to "wait are they saying..." to "holy poo poo she just Rider Kicked a giant flaming grizzly bear and looks alarmingly happy as she rips out its liver". I thought the gag from the last episode was that the main girl's teacher was implausibly superhuman ala Totori's mom from Atelier and the sword was a last resort kind of deal, but no I guess it is just a difference in experience. And frankly, I would still probably watch and enjoy the show even if it hadn't adapted the combat portion of the atelier games.

Doodles posted:If you can find the time to give it a second chance and power through that first boring-as-gently caress RPG sim half of episode 1, I believe you will find an interesting story about a lonely child facing a hostile world with her friend, the ridiculously OP Master Sword. Seriously, once Fran & Teacher meet, the show improves dramatically. Hell, skip that first half and you won't miss a drat thing that matters. You could probably skip the first ep entirely and start with #2 and come back to it after.

Eh, it's not that interesting. I read the manga a while ago and it was mostly kind of generic even ignoring the RPG stuff. Pretty much your exact standard Isekai except the main character is a sword (which, you know, is in the title). Like, definitely not the worst one I've seen, but I didn't think it really stood out much in any way, tbh.
