I'd be excited for LWA if LWA2 wasn't so disappointing. Demi-chan and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu are my only guaranteed watches, though I might keep my eye on Chaos;Child and Kobayashi. So much of the";" series has been bad or mediocre post-Steins;Gate so I don't really have much hope for it, but who knows? Kobayashi will probably be fine but I remember reading a decent chunk of that manga and not really caring all that much about it.

So Gainax got Konami'd? Just with maid cafes instead of pachinko? OK.

I want to say it got upped to 3 movies but I could be wrong, it's been so long since I've seen news for HF. I'm 99% sure it's at least going to be two films though.

I didn't really like or dislike Maid Dragon, for what it was it's fine I suppose. But I kind of knew that'd be my reaction since I can't recall ever getting too far in the manga for the same reason.

I do kind of miss when it was a big deal a new Macross was coming along, since it was a relatively infrequently updated series.

Hot take, if you didn't change anything about it other the name of the animation studio (and I guess retroactively removing the previous two OVAs from existence) everyone would think Little Witch Academia TV was kind of mediocre.

Primarily I think the first OVA's popularity has been propelling that property further beyond its weight class. It seemed to work quite as that initial, quirky, cute little thing but the more they try to flesh it out the less it works. Ever since the second OVA Akko has been a particularly awful and irritating MC and I truly can't see myself able to ever root for her. If anything it's far more satisfying in the eps so far where Diana has to bail her out. Give the spotlight to Sucy or heck even Diana, they're much more interesting.

That's too bad about the Rakugo thread, I had always assumed people were just posting in it for S2. It's definitely going to make my top 5 again in back-to-back years.

LWA is kind of impressive in that it's made the stuck-up-perfect-at-everything rival so much more sympathetic and relatable than the MC we ostensibly are meant to cheer for.

If it has to be three then have Diana/Amanda/CONSTANZE with Sucy's voice as a Ron Howard-like narrator.

What I'm watching now hasn't changed from what I expected to watch at the outset, other than me liking Maid Dragon more than I expected. March comes in like a lion and Rakugo S2 are immaculate. Maid Dragon and Demi-chan are both funny and feel good, with Maid Dragon in particular being impressive for its usual KyoAni attention to detail. Gundam IBO S2 is a solid war/political intrigue story. I dunno if die hard Gundam fans hate it or whatever but as someone who has bounced hard off of most Gundam shows over the years I think it's pretty good. I'm pretty lukewarm on LWA and Konosuba but I'll see them through to the end.

kater posted:I don't know where I'd put March Comes In Like A Lion. The current arc it's in is actually pretty uninteresting. I mean, it is interesting. It is definitely interesting. But compared to last cour, it is much more tame. I've cooled on it quite a bit. Might be related to the much worse OP.

Spiritus Nox posted:I...might be about to drop LWA. I really want to like it more than I do, and there's a version of this show that's way more focused than the one we're getting that's all kind of my poo poo, but we're nine episodes in and we've had almost nothing happen besides nonstop, self-contained, purely episodic antics with characters whose development ranges from static to glacial. Akko, Lotte, Sucy and Ursula aren't EXACTLY the same characters they were two hours of screentime ago, but they're pretty close. It's funny and all, but it's just not funny enough to keep this going for as long as it's trying to. At least not for me.

After actually watching LWA 9 I think the problem is less that the characters aren't really developing and more that the stories these stand alone episodes are telling are just not very good or entertaining. Everything with that zombie dude felt half-assed.

Eupho S1 and S2 were the best shows of their respective years IMO. It had extremely relatable characters and drama. I wasn't super satisfied with the ending in S2 but it's still overall the best thing KyoAni has made in a long time, including the very solid/good Maid Dragon.

The only downside to my plan was that after a point the combination of lying down + cold medicine + anime started to induce something akin to a fever dream. But the show is pretty solid for a manga that I read maybe a few chapters of and promptly immediately forgot. I definitely agree that it fills the silly/cute/dumb/funny gap that LWA has failed to do so up to this point.Spiritus Nox posted:Hail Satan.

If we are talking in general outside of that trio then I cannot believe anything in the current season can possibly match either Lion or Rakugo S2. It is criminal how little talk there has been about Rakugo in particular.

My takeaways from those charts are: -Chaos;child and LWA got less and less popular as time went on -Rakugo even at it's lowest was basically higher than everyone else  -Except for Konosuba which surprises me in that I thought S2 was decent at best

I didn't know what to really expect from ACCA but its been a pretty good political drama 8 eps in, so cool on ADTRW for reccing it a lot. It's given me at least one thing to watch in Spring.
