Vaguely interested in both the noitaminA shows, although I've felt let down by the stuff they've picked up in recent seasons. The rest, well, the thread title says it all.

Rexides posted:Also, that amnesia thing on One Week Friends is just too oddly specific. I can understand having a short-term memory moving window of one week, but having it reset every Monday and only affecting your memories of friends is so contrived that it's impossible to take it seriously. The art style irritated me as well - I can understand blushing when you're actually embarrassed or flushed, but every character having feverish rosy cheeks constantly was a bit off-putting.

Serious Frolicking posted:I watched the first episode of Kindaichi R, and I really can't believe that this is a popular and long-running franchise. It is just so incredibly bland. Bland protagonist, bland female lead, bland mystery. Every single plot point required a different completely stupid coincidence. The modeling agent just happened to drive by a girl who just happened to be identical to a missing model and then when that bland girl got abducted the bland protagonist just happened to find the model in a nearby park who then randomly decided to trust him completely. See, if any of those utterly stupid events hadn't happened, then blandy wouldn't have been present at a murder mystery. Mercrom posted:Knights of Sidonia is the worst thing I've seen in a while. The animation is absolutely atrocious outside of the one fight scene, and the story so far just seems like a very anime version of Starship Troopers, fascism included.

Mercrom posted:When naked 11 year olds and rapist protagonists isn't enough to put you off from watching I think it's time to take a break from anime for a while. Ping Pong and Mushishi mean this is a better season than most already, though.

Darth Walrus posted:Also, Jojo is living up to the hype so far, which is impressive when you consider how massive that hype was after Parts 1 and 2. I never finished the first season but I definitely want to go back to it. I remember liking what I saw and I'm not sure why I stopped watching.

I think a universal constant, no matter where you live, is that 99% of all media is shite. It may come in different flavours: paedo/high school shite in Japan, Disney and superhero shite in the US. I live in the UK but I honestly don't know what's produced here nowadays apart from My Mad Fat Diary, which is actually a good show aimed at teens. Fortunately, very little of it takes place in high school. tonberrytoby posted:Well maybe there should be more American made high school stuff.

One of the things I like about ADTRW is that it doesn't seem have nearly as many creeps and paedos as other places where anime is discussed. There are some though, and it's hilarious to see embarrassed siscons falling over themselves to justify watching a gross show. In better news, apparently the new Yoshiura film, Patema Inverted, is being released on DVD tomorrow in Japan. Apparently it's been licensed for other countries as well, but I can't see anything concrete about that. I'm pissed that I didn't get to see it in the cinema last year.

Delusibeta posted:I do know that All the Anime has picked up that licence for the UK market ages ago, and had been touring it around cinemas across the Home Nations for quite a few months now. I actually wouldn't be too surprised if they release it in the next couple of months. Fuckssake. I really should've gone down to see the Edinburgh one.

Butt Frosted Cake posted:Congrats on your SUPERIOR ANIME TASTE you should get a medal or something. It is funny though I'll give you that, but I can feel the smug coming off of you.  Butt Frosted Cake posted:normal and well adjusted is an accomplishment Delusibeta posted:Considering All The Anime also organises Scotland Loves Anime in the autumn, I'll be genuinely surprised if it doesn't get another showing in either Glasgow or Edinburgh before release. a kitten posted:Oh wow, I had forgotten Patema Inverted even existed, so thanks for reminding me and double thanks for letting me know I might be able to watch it reasonably soon.

Wark Say posted:I'm hoping that, at some point within my lifetime, I get to see an anime adaptation of one of Murakami's works. Especially if it's in the style of Blue Literature. I'd also love adaptations of Inspector Imanishi Investigates, The Professor's Beloved Equation, and Devotion of Suspect X. All of the anime I've seen based on novels/actual writing has been good (Tatami Galaxy, LotGH, Welcome to the NHK, Blue Literature, etc).

Yeah, that is moronic. I thought Yoshiura's email was very diplomatic, though. The whole project seems kind of amateurish, but I'm still looking forward to the end product.
