How long until one season is going to be entirely for Mobage cashgrab anime adaptations

Considering that one of the games that's getting a show this season is already being shut down I think the bubble is in the process of bursting

The Saint Seiya spin-off about a female saint is getting an anime

a new PV for ACCA:

designs look great and there are a ton of cuts in there from the first few chapters, so it looks like it'll be a straightforward adaptation for what little that's worth. love the focus on food, it's one thing i really liked about the bit of the manga that's translated.

I don't know anything about what genre this is or what it's really about but it looks great and I'm sold

only like three chapters are translated and it's basically about a chill dude, called Gene the Cigarette Bum, who audits regional government offices. without really spoiling anything he's given an assignment to travel to each of the 13 regions in half a year, while there's also some focus on a council of five dudes who run the whole thing and a handful of other gov't workers who aren't in Gene's office.

I'm double sold now

Gene the Cigarette Bum who audits regional offices might be the most hype description of a show all year

huh, so that chain chronicle movie popped up on cr. did it not get a theatrical release, or what?

The theatrical release is Asia only, apparently. Everywhere else they're just dropping the corresponding episodes at the same time as the film

I read a bit and it uses the "Gold Saints come back from the dead" plot element which makes this the fifth or sixth time in the history of the franchise

Also flip flaps and probably some other shows aren't going to be finished until the end of the year, although I'm willing to bet anyone who would vote for those shows is already decided

i'm doing anime awards, some sample categories are "best shin-chan movie i watched this year" and "best 52 episode anime from the 80s that i watched 3 episodes of and then forgot about"

I think Vifam is the only non seasonal anime I finished this year

Which particular ways does it end up being bad in? I'm seeing a lot of potential points of failure here.

I only read a few chapters but I meant it won't be better than Izetta. It's boring to me is all. I guess specifically there's all this stuff going on with God being a major character that seems pretty superfluous to the premise? It's just another isekai ln adaptation so I think people should temper their expectations accordingly

It wasn't exploitative or anything, it's just that after 150 pages I didn't really care what was going on or where it was going to go
