I remember there being threats of a live-action Sailor Moon back around the turn of the millennium. I'm surprised that shadow hasn't resurfaced recently.

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

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

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

anyway with or without anime original stuff the source material of bbb is strong and i love the cast and most of the original staff minus matsumoto are here, so i'm gonna go into s2 with reasonably high expectations for it to be a stylish and fun ride

i don't think the fact that nisio isin writes a lot of things that don't have strictly happy endings is why he's a cool writer

bump of chicken's music isn't the best ever rhythmically but i like it in like game and anime ops cause the lyrics tie into the story of the main work in a way that is cool to me

i really like their op for blood blockade battlefront cause the translated lyrics are basically just shouting the entire message of the show and gently caress it i like that

Can I get an explanation for this Euphonium stuff, what did he do wrong?

the author of euphonium is a woman

also nox is jaded by euphonium now cause the staff said they probably would not change or skip over the shuichi stuff if they ever reach it. it's stupid but this movie isn't even focusing around that so idgaf

I thought Dies Irae was the LogH show?

dies irae is a crowdfunded adaptation of a popular vn from 2007 about a chuuni guy fighting nazi vampires

Davincie posted:

i think the dies irea complaint is a fair one when ep 1 is nothing but badly written introductions to the (apparently technically not) nazis combined with some awful action scenes

it definitely seemed like a weirder opening than the vn, which apparently just opens from the perspective of a german conscript

form the sounds of it not a lot of people who liked the vn thought it was a good opening ep lol

lol i checked the mal page for the director of dies irae and the comments are just people getting depressed that they picked him to direct it

i was willing to give it a few eps but given that and the weird anime-original opening i'm not sure it's going to get much better

Quick, gimme the reasons for each.
I put bbb on my list last night.

have you watched and liked kyousougiga because if so you will like the anime original stuff in bbb

white is a fun character who has a great dynamic with leonardo and episode 11 is one of the best episodes in the entire show and the end of episode 12 is really great. the bad part is that black is kind of a boring villain to follow and that robs some impact away from the last episode because he's not nearly as flamboyant as any of the other bad guys in the show but i think it's still really great and worth watching and does a good job tying up the themes of the show

The Colonel

i can understand not liking black because he really just isn't a very interesting character on his own and they give him a bit too much screen time at the end

i really really love all the stuff with white though and that's why i get annoyed when people brush it off
