That's basically where I'm at with Ancient Magus Bride, I do want to see the characters in motion but I dunno if I'll commit to the show right now. Maybe later after it's all out.

Definitely watching:
Hoozuki no Reitetsu 2nd Season :toot:
Kekkai Sensen & Beyond

Gonna check out:
Houseki no Kuni
Kino's Journey

I want to keep my list short this season since I have a ton of other stuff to finish watching already.

If this season of Kekkai Sensen can go on without any stupid anime original plots, we'll be golden.

i dunno if infinit force will grab a wide audience but it totally hits the mark for me. some of the best-looking cg anime has been graced with, writing that is overdone just enough in the right ways, and a vibe like tatsunoko mashed up an otome game with a toku show.

thanks for talking about it because it's a fun show and I'm gonna watch it

That circletrain arc was hosed up, burrito :(

His PTSD stuff is pretty brutal in that one and there was a lot of hosed up poo poo going on in that town :(
I want to know more about Randel in the war and what they did to him and I hate the way it just dribbles out hints every now and then. I also don't necessarily dislike Alice but she's way less interesting to me than pretty much everyone else in the unit but gets the majority of the development, even in the most recently translated stuff that's his history and backstory yet ends up being all about Alice once again. I think I'd like it overall better if he was the focal character instead of her or if it did a true ensemble and gave equal weight to everyone on the team. Sometimes he ends up feeling more like a plot mechanism than a true character. It's a pretty cool setting and is fairly unique IMO but is definitely not without flaws.

Also I was looking at the covers and man some of them are *so bad*

I like the new Garo, the insanely macho protagonist is hilarious. He's a giant muscleheaded doofus who carries himself with a sense of humor, without being a cruel jerk. The way he posited a strategy to the female lead (please be a bait for the monster) sat right, like he was empathetic enough that he could trust her to make the correct decision. In a dark hosed up version of America filled with even more demonic horrors, there is still room for big-hearted people willing to do right by others.

Well Zaruba is a prick, but he's stuck in his form and I don't think you're supposed to agree with him.

I liked the characters in the first ep but the fight looked really bad. At least the worst part (the end of it) was over quickly.

Is anyone watching S2 of Kekkai Sensen? I dropped the first season towards the end because I heard the last two episodes were tacky anime-original content; is S2 back to the published material or is more original stuff?

First episode was great, plus since you know who everyone is you should be able to jump in just fine without worrying about the end of S1

Im having a hard time liking Land of the Lustrous. The low frame rate cg still really annoys me, but not nearly as much as Phos's wet blanket personality. But the world and its look is still great, and the op is amazing.

a lot of people kept saying it was the anime's fault for skipping content but it's always sounded to me like the manga just sucked to begin with and the anime just ran dry of the good stuff really quick cause that studio's been doing lots of good stuff since then

the thing about the stuff that got skipped was that it helped to establish um...what's his name's character as more than an rear end in a top hat so without that he ended up being way more one-note.

it also didn't help that the manga translation was super slow so the folks who were into it ran out of content we'd seen pretty early on and yeah apparently all the cool stuff was very front-loaded so that was a big disappointment :(

Re: the other part of your spoiler
Inside the shell like where the snail was =/= "inside" the shell as in part of it. The gems are very non-curious so if something isn't completely surface-level obvious to them they aren't going to pick up on it. Cinnabar got it because of his observations which none of the others had done. It seemed obvious to him whereas "Phos is gone, here is a slug, the slug is Phos" was obvious to Diamond. I think the show telegraphed the shell thing bit much though, with the broken parts being so clear. I think having them be more glimmery like later on when they were busting the pieces out would have been a better way to show it so it was more subtle.

e: I will move this post to the show's thread if we move the discussion over there since it's annoying to have big spoiler blocks in the season thread imo.

Deeply tedious.

In some ways it was gayer than free, but the characters were all so incredibly dull that I gave up after about episode four.

Yeah I stalled out around the same spot. I haven't completely given up hope that I might finish it but it would have been easier going if the animation was at least nice looking but the show overall being really cheap/ugly wasn't helping at all.
