How did this smug dummkopf ever make general?

Canipa Effect for animation, Super Eyepatch Wolf for the more personal stuff (though he does include information on things about the industry). Mother's Basement is good for his OP / ED analysis. Gigguk for the more joke-y stuff. Digibro is kind of weird. I personally find him to be an unlikeable fucknugget, even if some of his earlier stuff (like the videos he's done from Gurren Lagann and the one from Kill la Kill) was okay-ish.

I also think digibro is an utterly unlikeable fucknugget but he does say interesting things from time to time. Granted, often they're dumb things, but still interesting. Glass Reflections is like digibro's complete opposite, just the blandest most goring and innoffensive guy around.

How about this, an unremarkable guy wants to live a normal life but then several quirky women show up and turn his life upside down?

But in a magical world

Isn't it actually the plot of a show that an unremarkable guy teleports to a world full of just girls, then brings a girl back to his world and then his life is turned upside down by quirky women?

I especially don't like the new hair. It's too... defined? I don't know how to explain it, but the change in hair style from old to new is my biggest issue, alongside worrying about the vocal performances, new yang looking too young and not yangy enough and kircheis' eyes being so rough rather than earnest puppy style. Those are Reuental eyes, not Kircheis.

Same, I could watch that show forever.

I have never seen LotGH though, so I am excited to get the chance without having to marathon the old series. Is this retelling the same story? I'd never heard of this before the trailer was posted.

You should watch the old series. It ain't in the top 10 on MAL for no reason.

Knights and Magic ended. It was more fun than I expected coming in. I enjoyed the nerding out about technology and its impact on society. Though it finds itself in a weird position where the stakes are so lightly regarded that I found myself rooting for the villains because they were more fun to watch.

Especially the enemy scientist, who is needed as a foil or the overpowered MC, and gets all the best scenes and hammy VA work.

Yeah, it was the most enthusiastic bad show I've ever seen, and the sheer enthusiasm and positivity actually mitigated a lot of its issues.

ONE PUNCH MAN SEASON 2 ANNOUNCED!!!

IT WILL BE MADE BY JC STAFF

Wasn't it announced quite a while back?

Grouchio posted:

I'd think that Kakegurui could be considered up there on AOTS lists......no?

Definitely not. It was a passable series and a generally fun watch, but not AOTS in a season packed with so much great poo poo. Its OP on the other hand is probably the best of the season.

not the part where it's being made by jc without any of the s1 staff

Not even the director or writers? drat, that might hurt the show quite a fair bit. When Log Horizon jumped studios sure the animation quality dipped, but since the writing and direction was the same as S1 it was pretty much more of the same. Now OPM 2 might have some teething problems. I still expect it to be good, just maybe have a few issues here and there.

I haven't seen the last episode yet, but from my point of view it's not a bad show at all. Sure it's not nuanced or complex or whatever but it's still a pleasure to watch.

The protagonist is a mega marty stu and he and his party steamroll everything in sight, characters have next to no depth or agency outside of the main character's life and conflicts are just thrown about for the sake of giving the party something to do rather than making sense in the context of the world.

For example, monsters are a big important thing that is the very purpose of this kingdom existing to defend the rest of the world. Oh look some kid hacked a robot and killed a monster so dangerous it was going to destroy an entire city and there's not really much a whole regiment of mechs can do to stop it. Kid and the people generally around him get super elevated in status including the entirely average and normal people. Cue the rest of the series never featuring monsters as an even remotely viable threat and then war happens because comically evil empire is comically evil, complete with bloodmoon and blood waterfalls.

That's not to say it isn't fun. It's like SAO in how bad it is (before alfheim) but with twice the enthusiasm. Without the enthusiasm it'd basically be the same quality as the smartphone isekai.

Also Kakegurui had the best ED in addition to best OP. The show was great overall but man that ending sucked.

The ED song was my favourite, but the actual animation was fairly dull. Overall I'd have to say that nothing can beat Re:Creators' ED, though Princess Principal and Made in Abyss come close.
