Did Anime-Gataris ever get its own thread?

Oh well, there's a regular thread on /m/ so I can probably get any questions or discussion that comes to mind off my mind there I guess.

Yeah this. It doesn't need to be fancy just grab some promo art and a synopsis and you're all good. If people wanna talk about the show they'll talk regardless of OP quality.

the garo anime and garo toku shows are separate continuities afaik, and i don't think the anime is meant to have internal continuity either. given the first series took a long while to get any sort of footing, and ultimately it only delivered a well-executed hero's journey, it doesn't surprise me that it kinda lacks a long-term presence here. crimson moon was a production garbage fire that probably would've killed a thread anyway.

Ehh, I'm fine with the baseline of if someone cares strongly enough, they'll make a thread. Just Because and Animegatari are the good shows for me this season that didn't get threads, though admittedly Animegatari was just odd since even after 3 episodes, you still weren't sure about what it was, and it joked about the 3 episode test anyways.

Been slowly catching up on Vanishing Line, actually, and I’m not sure how intentional it is (as opposed to just a natural consequence of the show’s tits-and-explosions aesthetic), but Sophie seems to be coded as gay as hell. Like, the kid doesn’t even react to an attractive man (other than treating Sword in particular as a slightly annoying older brother), but put her in a room with an attractive woman and she’ll be blushing, stuttering, and eyeballing their cleavage.

The whole point of that was to get people to make threads instead of just posting about stuff here, of course that was back when there were more than ten regular posters....

I don't think it's really that big a deal if there are some shows not enough people care enough about to make a thread for. I enjoy reading about them in the season thread.

Is there a point where it's too late to make a thread? I had thought about making one for Just Because, though at that point it was at the 7th episode. Wasn't sure if it was worth it. Although I guess that still could've been like ten weeks of discussion.

Yes, if you make a thread 43278901469420 seconds after the first episode has aired the Forums police will come to your house and burn it down, never make threads for old things

I'd be down for this because it sucks being spoiled by discussion on shows I'd potentially watch, which happens far more often than people marketing/convincing others to watch a show.

I guess I could addendum into the OPs to spoiler-tag any discussion of a show past episode three outside of a dedicated thread, though I kinda felt this was always the generally understood consensus when it came to spoilers.

Anime-gataris was an absolutely brilliant show. It's a shame it'll probably be overlooked for the most part due to its slow build and meta writing.

Nerds love meta stuff! I didn't care for its finale at all though, it was devoid of everything I liked about the show so having that hang over me when I think about the show makes it a downer.

I watched the first episode the other night after seeing it mentioned a few times here and it seemed like an inferior version of Gamers! frankly, including having the perfect school idol turn out to be a bit silly. I'll watch more of it at some point, but the first episode didn't leave enough of an impression that I'm racing to see more.

It's a slow build. It plays the story pretty straight for about half its run.
