If you mean Road to the Top, it's technically just an ONA series before the actual S3 comes out later this year(?).

Speaking of to the top, when are those Haikyuu movies supposed to come out?

sucks to be right
Vinland Saga recently did a preview for the next episode which totally bamboozled me, but in retrospect I really should have known better. :v: The episode ends with the main characters desperately trying to help Arnheid and her husband Gardar escape the horrific conditions they'd been trapped in but at the very last minute they get discovered. The preview showed that the next episode was called "The Road Home" and we see that Arnheid and Gardar are calmly leaving in a cart, smiling and holding hands. Oh boy, looks like someone in this depressing anime finally gets a happy ending!!! And then the next episode aired and :negative:

Some of my favorite next episode previews are the really super overwrought ones like you get for stuff VOTOMs (or the hyper nonsensical garbage from Persona Trinity Soul). I also loved Digimon Ghost Game's next episode previews because it was the narrator talking ominously about urban legends while a bunch of clips played that very often obscured what the hell was going to happen in the next episode, it was interesting doubly so because they absolutely never showed any of the evolutions ahead of time...

I also really loved Odd Taxi's next episode previews, because it turns out in hindsight to be snippets of a conversation the protagonist is having after the end of the series reflecting on what happened in the story, and it turns out in context he's setting up a sting operation to catch the actual culprit which puts a totally different spin on the last shot of the series.

No info yet I think. ANN wrote something about a "film kickoff event" in August this year though, so hopefully then we'll know

It varies from show to show whether I want previews or not. I'd go insane if G Witch did them. But I enjoy some of them especially for stuff like Bebop where the cast takes to the previews with all the enthusiasm of a pisstake, only for a preview to suddenly hit you with an incredibly insightful comment.

G-Witch not having previews really works in its favour, because it's a show that revels in its own mysteries and giving you nothing for next week's episode just leaves you what just happened in the current one to think on.

Nephthys posted:

The previews that stood out for me were Utena's because iirc they were mostly Utena being completely oblivious about whats happening in the episode and Anthy subtly making fun of her until one of the last few where Anthy drops a massive character plot point out of nowhere that isn't in the actual show but really explains alot about her actions. The one where she tells Utena that she's 'always despised' her.

Oh, THAT'S where that line is. I was skipping through those episodes the other day trying to find it and getting increasingly confused when I couldn't.

Love this guide on Crunchyroll of what order to watch Konosuba in, which essentially boils down to: watch episode 1, 2, 3, then watch episode 4, 5, 6, then watch episode 7 and so on.

Kamikatsu continues to defy all expectations.

It's awesome. It's just straight up great. I don't know what the animators are on exactly but gently caress it, with a plot like this who cares.

The question isn't why.

The question is how much would you pay for it?

i like the joke in ibo's next episode preview where an extremely minor background character does the preview narration and then is like 'huh? 'who are you?' its me. chad. ive been on the bridge this whole time. dont you remember me?'

I liked that they usually had an adlibbed line or two in there too.

So I tried a few episodes of Kamikatsu.

Love the fact that the show clearly has shown both Yano and Hime both made mistakes in the conclusions they came too. Love good old fashioned shojo misunderstanding

Also loved the brief look of jealousy and also fear that Yano showed when Kanoko spoke to Hime...

Latest episode of Mashle introduced the missing character from the OP a turbo incel. It looks like the cast is pretty much assholes all round, both as coprotagonists and antagonists.

the worst thing about the side characters in mashle is that they aren't very funny. i'm not sure if most of them are even supposed to be.
