I liked the First Season of Yuuki Yuuna. Have not seen or read literally any of the side stories / movies / whatever. Are they cool?

I re-watched MadoMagi Rebellion recently, and Mami vs Homura has made me unsure that any other Magical Girl show is going to make me feel the way again (not even Symphogear :eng99:)

Didn't 12 Wars get confirmed for Crunchyroll?

Also, if you have Crunchy, watch Blade Runner 2022 Black Out. Short, (bitter) Sweet and Rad.

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.

My Bride is a Mermaid is legit one of my fave comedy anime.

dogsicle posted:

I'm very confused about what classroom of the elite is because it got featured in a sakuga reel for some intense hand-to-hand combat in a rainy forest
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.

Moltrey posted:

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

e: I'm gonna get back to Eccentric Family cause I loved that a lot despite only watching like six episodes and then rewatch March Lion to let this Season get further underway

have fun watching anime everyone
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.

OK, remember Assassination Classroom / BakaTest and how they place students in classes according to how well they performed in the entrance exam with the best students in class A and the "defective" students are in Class E / F? Basically a way shittier version of that.

12 Wars is one of the few NisiOisin novels I haven't read and I'm kinda wondering if a 12 episode anime (4 hours and 48 minutes, on average) is the right thing to do. Of course, Kizumonogatari was a relatively short novel but the three movies in total have a running time slightly above 3 and a half hours, and yet it was still quite the ride.

It's a mixed bag. I like a bunch of things about Nisio, but chief among them is that he seems like he's all for variety for the places his novels can go. Also, conversations between his characters. The endings his stories have often feel less like an asspull than some other authors. Like Katanagatari or the Okitegami Kyoko series. I'm hoping 12 Wars turns out good.

Wait, aside from some spots (in which it'd be monumentally lovely to stop), pretty much the rest of the arcs for the first part of Index all sorta bleed into one another. Does this mean 3rd season's going to cover Academy City's Dark Side Gang War / God's Right Seat / Europe's Civil War / World War 3 arc? I don't think my body is ready. :magical:

Railgun is a manga written by someone else, to fill in blanks left by the main Index LN's. It still follows the same canon, but it's pretty obvious it's a different author.
Actually, no: Kazuma Kamachi is just rock-gently caress insane about writing.

Yeah. Maka (and her VA, Chiaki Omigawa) was great. But to this day, I remain very ambivalent towards Kouki Uchiyama (Soul's VA). Like, sometimes he fits just fine, but other times it feels like he'd rather be elsewhere instead of doing voice work.

Man, upon rewatching Zodiac War's First Episode, all I keep thinking is "The Story is gonna show us that the Awful Boar Lady is right and Monkey is the worst of the bunch, isn't it?" I mean, the Big Brother Dragon just took his deceased younger brother's jewel like nothing, the Boar lady pushed her little sister to commit mass murder and then kill herself and Rabbit seems like a parody of Hisoka, but yeah, the pantsless Girl Scout is evil to the core. Oh boy oh boy.

Also watched the MMO Elite NEET Lady show. And from the OP and the rest of the episode, it seems like she just couldn't handle the pressure and decided to give up. Which honestly is a heckuva lot better than to succumb to Karoshi.

I think it'd be nice if the monkey-girl isn't super-evil, for the very simple reason that it's the less obvious way for things to go. Being more cunning than she lets on seems a given, but it'd be nice if there's some genuine decency there.

dogsicle posted:

the monkey stuff struck me more as personal or ideological, so she may not be exactly as bad as boar would have you expect. people were agreeing to her plan when she's presumably a known entity like ox etc. so her reputation can't be that awful.
I hope so. I like Nisio Isin as an author (even if the motherfucker gives me whiplash sometimes), because he seems genuinely into writing and having some loving fun with his given medium, as opposed to other authors who are content with barely even trying the bear rear end minimum.

C'mon Burrito, you often read like a reasonable person. Don't do this.

Juuni Taisen EP 2: Mad Dog or not, but poor sod should've known better. That last scene with Zombie Boar made me immediately go "Hitchcock shout-out!" :3:. Also, Ox is giving me Shin Megami Tensei III and IV Matador flashbacks and I don't know why, but I kinda sympathize with how horse dude went from relief to overwhelming horror in like 3 seconds :) "Hey, it's the Ox dude! He seems like a rational fe-- oh poo poo, he's in murder-trance Saito Hajime mode PARRYPARRYPARRYPARRYPARRYFUCK!" :stonk:

Moltrey posted:

Juuni Taisen - Episode 2: Still enjoying it, they're not afraid to spend a large amount of time on dialogue and character interaction. There was a couple of cute character moments and the ED does some lifting there as well. The animation's still super good too, i really enjoy those thick-rear end lines. Looks like they'll be going into Episode 3 with some alliances and fights forming, so I'm surprisingly optimistic

Ep 2 spoilers I hope they don't keep being quite as predictable with who's gonna get axed, I was honestly hoping Episode 2 would end with no new deaths. I also hope the viewpoint character doesn't keep biting it in the end.
I totally get where you're coming from. So far, it kinda reminds me of Psycho-Pass' 1st Season, in which, save for a couple of episodes, the bursts of action often felt like the conclusion of all the time spent on dialogue and character interaction (plus all the Book / Theater club recommendations it often delved into, because Urobuchi gotta buchi :smuggo:)

Regarding your spoilers taking into account that one fourth of the combatants are officially dead (Rabbit-fuckery notwithstanding), I'm thinking that a variation of the formula is inevitable.
