didn't the game of thrones showrunners literally decide to bail on the project? kinda hard to argue that they didn't know when it would end in that case

G Witch has pacing issues because it's trying to juggle the genre conventions of mecha action/political thriller and shojo yuri at the same time. A lot of it probably also has to do with the production cycle, since breaking it up into two cours meant not much could be revealed in the first half, while the second half has had a breakneck pace all throughout.

In all likelihood there's going to be a sequel series because the gunpla is selling too well. I hope we get a series that focuses more on Earthians than the space school. There's an entire cast of characters that got introduced for a single episode, and a ton about the world that has yet to be fully explained or explored.

To Your Eternity Season 2 at least has a good climax and ends on the right note, but how the gently caress is there going to be more to the story when all the plot hooks are all wrapped up? They're already working on season 3.

IIRC it was described to me as basically an elf party member dealing with the fact that the party they adventured with is growing old and passing on without them, so yeah, very melancholy.

it honestly seems pretty common for anime where a show slowly moves along as it focuses on the characters, but then they notice "oh poo poo, only 3 eps left, time to wrap this poo poo up" and everything suddenly shifts gears
i hate it so much

they should have axed all the gund-arm stuff that didn't really go anywhere and focused on the main plot instead of just pulling out yet another solar ray attack betrayal at the 11th hour

longer premieres are great, especially for shows with a plot that need a little setup before starting proper like Oshi No Ko. It's like getting to do the 3 episodes test in one go and I wish more show would take this approach. Actually, to get back on the topic of Gundam Witch From Mercury, it would have helped it a lot if it had a longer first episode to show the setting more, for instance. Oh well there'll always be Gundam Witch From Mercury Part 2 : Witch Harder or whatever they'll call it.

Btw, joke, what do the Soviet Union and Sunrise have in common? They put Yuri in space

Vinland Saga S2 ended incredibly strong, truly one of the greatest animes.

And then I go to the manga and apparently there's twice as many chapters and they actually go to Vinland, dang, I know what I'm doing with my weekend

The title of this manga always slaps me across the face like a dead fish. In Norwegian 'Frieren' means 'the Proposer*', specifically 'man who proposes marriage'. Whenever I see it it takes me a moment before I get that the title isn't "The guy proposing marriage at the funeral".



*'woman who proposes marriage' is 'Frierinnen' (Proposatrix).

I sat down and watched most of season 1 of Gundam 00 for the first time last week. Just started season 2.

I wish a Gundam would throw in an anime Mao or something one of these times. The new world federation somehow has non-members AND isn't equitably trying to share their unlimited solar power??? Why!???? Wouldn't everyone having electricity make bigger markets??

If 00 would properly explain Celestial Being's goals that would be good too. "End war" doesn't seem to be working.

Last episode of G-Witch was pretty underwhelming. The action peaked with Guel vs. Shaddiq, and the conclusion wrapped things up a little too neatly in a way that doesn't make much sense if you think about it too much. I also don't recall any moment where Suletta and Miorine actually kissed, but they're already in asexual matrimony? Honestly a little tired of shoujo stories where they wait until the last episode to get gay married, and they still never do anything. Gay storytelling in manga and anime still seems to have a huge hangup with actually following through on its sexual elements, ever since Bananafish, which was a star-crossed gay boy crime thriller where the boys never actually do anything.

Torn on whether to get an Aerial kit because Ericht was very mean to Suletta for the most part.

I also need an explainer on the business dealings at the end with Miorine liquidating everything to earth? Did she sell it to the people she met up with on Earth before?

It was a continuation of Shaddiq's plan. After the time gap they even say that its only a matter of time till space capitalist gobble the companies up because of the inevitably skewed economic conditions in the sphere.
