i think i gave the shuumatsu books a pretty fair shake, but one of the young girls turned out to be the love interest which killed my interest. the guy is supposed to be their combination teacher and parent, you know? drenching everything in melodrama doesn't make that poo poo okay.

sword oratoria is a spinoff that's mostly about dungeon delving rather than harem hijinks. so, it has a pretty good chance of being better than s1.

i legitimately don't understand what the hell silver guardian is about. all this stuff about tomb raiders and divine power, but also there are evil gamers for some reason? it sounds weird enough that i'll watch an episode or two.

oh hey i wonder what zero kara's deal is... oh. that sure is a deviantart fursona.

definitely watching rage of bahamut based entirely on the strength of the first season. that was a very fun, pretty show and i liked it a lot.

*half a dozen people go on about how it is pedobait*
grouchio: "gee if everyone is saying this show is pedobait i'll have to give it a try"
*someone quotes one of the posts explaining how it is pedobait*
grouchio: "oh whaaaat? you mean it is pedobait? yep avoiding this one."

lol at comparing shirou emiya to woodrow wilson completely unironically. grouchio may be so deep on the spectrum that it is like talking to an alien, but sometimes he is also really funny without trying.

most of those aren't slight variations on the same character so do they even count?

i hope it gets to the end of the training camp at least, though the following arc is probably too far for just two cours.

Not sure whether it's rightfully a spring or winter release- sue me.

The Trinity Seven movie was... awful.

They spent the first ten minutes of the movie recapping the events of the original series, followed by another 30 minutes in which each of the 15 heroines react to each and every occurance, costing about 30 seconds each time. In a movie that's only 55 minutes long, that adds up pretty quick.

Then, they move into the second half where they introduce and attempt to resolve about 20 completely new plot points, all while still trying to give every character approximately equal speaking time, culminating in a battle that was ended by two shots of a fuckoff giant gun and a lot of accompanied whining from the villain.

To top it all off, the music was generally alright, but they would have better served just to reuse Beautiful Sentence as the ED.

Really, just extremely rushed and ineffective, despite their attempt to put in a heartbreaking moment.

I genuinely enjoyed the original series (up until the last episode), but this really didn't work.

a harem show is... bad???

Well, one of these is a fresh IP with a lot of creative effort put into it and ideas that deserved more than a cheap mobile game, while the other one is just a low-risk retreading of barren grounds. To me, the accomplishments of the former are worth more than Berserk fans' cries of "wahh, now we only have eight other decent but mostly uninspired retellings of the same story we've read twelve times"

one reason why the rage of bahamut anime is good is because it has virtually nothing to do with the terrible mobile game it is based on.

rear end in a top hat warlords wanted more land. some of them wanted all of the land. so they engaged in pointless, petty wars until one of them came out on top. a couple hundred years later they have all been whitewashed into virtuous, heroic ancestors. it's not exactly an unusual situation.

i like the sengoku basara version better.
