They're adapting s3's arc starting in November. You got to pick up the pace.

Excellent.
Anime Chat Thread 21: Hey everyone! I don't wanna yell at anyone while I'm all tired and about to lay down for bed, so now I'm rested and ready to type. My guess is that all of you pretty much think I don't spend any time thinking about the kind of probations I hand out, but I really actually really really do. I've been your moderator for about 22 months now, and this entire time I've been working on this post I'm posting right now, sort of like a state of the address or something, or like a supreme court opinion on adtrw. Anyway, onto the meat of the matter, I feel that alot of you are being too hard on Japan, the writing doesn't deserve the constant derision it receives because it's not terrible, it's just mediocre. If you're being too hard on shows for being just medocore then you're sort of going to be driving away our main clientele, which as a moderator is my top priority to protect. I know tokyo ghoul or tomo-chan or franxx or whatever is mediocre to all of you but people coming here from crunchyroll and reddit are not going to enjoy a wall of "It's terrible" if they're here to discuss their new favorite anime or manga. On the point of being too hard on japan, all of you know that japan has been through alot in the past century, and if satoshi kon's work is any indication into the goings on inside japan and specifically the anime industry, then japan was pretty much like a sea of porcupines before the 2011 tsunami. I see such a dramatic change in the soul of anime because of the tsunami and I feel that kill la kill was an embodiement of that change. Love hina was filled with hope and ambition and stayed focused around those themes well into negima, but now anime is so filled with anger, and I think all of you need to relax a little with the negativity towards what is an isolated island nation trying to reach out to the world just because you thought their writing was lackluster. They were just annilihated by the most powerful tsunami we've ever seen and there wasn't a country in the world 1/10th as prepared for tsunamis as japan was, and then a nuclear meltdown followed and it's like an infected wound in the soul of japan. There is hope in anime still, but it's a nation in mourning, and in recovery, so just take it easy. There doesn't need to be a massive ban storm for you guys to get the picture because I know how much smarter all of you are than the rest of the forums and as an aside if you hadn't realized it yet, I'm not going to be flinging insults at anyone, ever, it's not who I want to be.

I'm sorry Matoi I couldn't resist.

Phimose Knight posted:

I only watched Season 1 because it's "the good one". I kinda liked it, the action direction feels good even if the CGI issssss 90s CGI.
Sometimes the characters act like real people and that owns (except for one instance with the Sileighty driver girl where she's like "let me race your friend and I'll give u my virgin"). And it has gud eurobeat but it's mostly driven (no pun intended) by the music matching what's happening. though there isn't a literal rain of fire.
Random thought is that uhhhh it's sad that other manga/anime referencing it always reference INERTIA DRIFT?! and PUMP UP THE EUROBEAT, it feels pretty lazy, like in the same way someone referencing Star Wars by going I AM YOUR FATHER feels lazy.

Stage 4 is my all-time favorite. They really get into the mechanics of the cars and the dynamics of different drifting styles. The battle between Keisuke and God-Foot is the best poo poo ever holy gently caress. Stage 4 episode 21 I think?

It feels like a real night where you got way too wasted but had a good time.

It's a really joyous movie with a lot of energy and got real laughs from me.

Especially like the leads a lot and recommend the movie entirely go see it see it see it

I think it's just mostly the scene that is entirely about the filmmaking club head from tatami like I cant imagine someone getting what the climbing Boob wall bit was about.

My favorite part about walk on girl is how tight and connected it all was especially since that ended up being the main theme of the movie. Everybody plays a part and is connected to others and I love it.

The art in Ad Astra kind of hides how well written it is, even though so far it's been constant action the characters are instantly understandable and it's paced super well. Lol at Caius' plight

It has a big and distinct cast of men with incredibly ugly faces, except for the leads and hannibal's crew who are bishies.
