Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou sounds really interesting, but the character design is so blagh, I dunno if I can ignore it enough to get into the show. Weird blobby heads.

The number of characters that show up could be counted on one hand. The surroundings and the atmosphere are where the bulk of the design work goes and should be the focus of attention.

And there's no guarantee that this is actually going to really get off the ground. I mean, WB's been trying to make Akira for over 10 years.

On the other hand, James Cameron's adaptation of Battle Angel Alita is allegedly due out next summer.

So long-delayed never gonna happen adaptations sometimes materialize. Maybe.

it's definitely​ hard to get excited about it, but iirc tsuki ga kirei seemed similarly bland and turned out to be a nice coming of age romance.

Sorry if this is from last season, but since the Summer Thread is closed, I'll post it here: Due to the heavy rain, I couldn't sleep, so I binged through the 2nd half of Classroom of the Elite. I don't think I actually watched episode 11 and 12 before actually falling asleep due to its offensive blandness. To cleanse my palate after waking up today, I started re-watching My Bride is a Mermaid. Which I wholeheartedly recommend you guys do.

All I know about Classroom of the Elite is that my friends recommended it to me, saying it was "a hidden gem" of the season but none of them could explain the premise in detail or what was interesting or good about it and it left me :thunk: This isn't passing judgement but it was crazy how despite my questions, these guys could not tell me anything concrete.

the uniforms keep reminding me of kakegurui

I'm interested because I'm pretty sure the Tawawa on Monday guy was involved in the character designs and I like his art. I actually have no idea what the show will look like or be about besides that, but I'm not expecting much.

hot take but the anime original stuff in bbb owned even if it wasn't perfect and i would have liked it less if white wasn't in it because she was a really fun character who served a really interesting role in leonardo's arc

black wasn't a great villain on his own but the actual idea behind the anime original stuff in bbb was fine and led to some great scenes

dogsicle: In Episode 11, there's a fight between the Female MC and a girl from a different class. While there's a reason for the whole scrap, the fight itself and the surprisingly fluid action is hilariously / completely unrepresentative from the rest of the show.

I said it (or something like that) in the Summer thread: The premise is basically as if Oregairu and BakaTest had a baby, and at a glance, that seems ok. Sadly, said baby then grows up watching stuff like SAO or the Irregular at Magic High School and thinking "YES, THIS IS THE BE-ALL-END-ALL OF ANIME".

But seriously, it's an incredibly mediocre anime.

e: Grammar.

I see. The penultimate episode just didn't sit well with me and it took over six months for the excellent final episode to wrap things up.

the penultimate episode was great, imo. i actually liked it better than the finale, it might have been a bit odd next to the rest of the show but i really liked how it was directed

anyway this season probably won't have anything like that and if it does it won't be in the same style, the manga's already ended and the anime-original side of bbb was very much rie matsumoto's thing in how it was put together, though who knows if it was her idea or a decision by BONES
