Spiritus Nox posted:Citrus (the rare Overt Yuri show, though I've heard decisively mixed things about it) It's quite silly (in the unintentional way). I remember it relying heavily on random drama bombs (like a character suddenly having cancer or something) and contrived misunderstandings as a substitute for an overarching plot. It might have been OK if they hadn't tried to make it a serious drama in the first place.

Sakurazuka posted:That's overstating it, the random drama bombs are of the 'oh someone else has a crush on my crush oh no' level not 'suddenly people have cancer'. Unless anything has happened recently anyway. I read the first few chapters a few years ago; I may be misremembering.

Waffleman_ posted:The rights to the show were non-exclusive, meaning whoever wants it can have it. They should do that more often. The proliferation of streaming services makes exclusive licenses a pain for viewers.

VostokProgram posted:The best anime this season is Cardcaptor Sakura I started watching the original series in preparation for the new one, and it's pretty enjoyable so far. Definitely better that the last shojo magical girl series I've watched, Sailor Moon Crystal. (I've seen people say that Sakura isn't really a magical girl because she doesn't transform, but as her staff transforms with a light show when she activates its powers, this seems rather nitpicky.) Kerberos seems remarkably incompetent, which is clever writing in a way; the more a magical girl mascot character seems like an adult in a rodent's body, the more they seem like an rear end in a top hat for making children fight their battles for them (／人◕‿‿◕人＼), so he needs to be childishly dumb in order to be likable. Sakura's reluctance to collect the cards surprised me, although it's a perfectly rational response. My only complaint is that Tomoyo is a bit one-note; she's almost completely defined by her fawning over Sakura. Although Tomoyo proposing bad ideas that Kerberos agrees with is funny in an unexpectedly subtle way. Edit: Also, Tomoyo did most of the work of getting the Shadow card.

Everything Burrito posted:what the heck Going by the writeup on ANN, he was tricked into it and the heroine kills the attempted rapists. Still feels sleazy, especially for a fanservice-heavy show.

DisDisDis posted:That one person who posted in the shoujo thread about how steven universe was better lgbt representation than anything in the entire medium of anime and manga Obviously that's a hot take that ignores the existence of things like Wandering Son, My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness, etc., but if you're only comparing to mainstream shonen and shojo stuff, I can understand why someone would think that.

Spiritus Nox posted:I remember getting a vague impression of GuP as some weird fetish war thing years ago and then actually watching it and it's less problematic/sexually charged than most sports stories I've seen, lol Girls und Panzer is an actually good show. Upotte is gross, though. I've never tried KanColle, and have no particular desire to.

Anime Awards winners are up: http://www.theanimeawards.com I'm a bit disappointed by Land of the Lustrous's performance; I thought it had a good shot at Best Animation, at least. At least it won Best CGI, a category that seems basically created for it.

The general rule seems to be that crossover specials are common, but "canon" crossovers are rare. This is probably wise.

Sakurazuka posted:Is this like the last sub forum you're not banned from posting in or something I'll be fair to BotL and say that his effortposts in TBB are often insightful even if they're annoyingly smug. But a lot of his posting, especially in the Internet Critic Thread, is just trolling.
