shes apparently trying to make an original movie basically out of her own pocket which explains all the chocolate and pokemon ads shes worked on.

This is kind of like saying the Akira movie ending encapsulates the ending just fine. It's true, but like, there's more, and lots of people would like to have seen those bits.

I'm just saying that I don't think people should skip out on the original show because it doesn't end the way the manga does. The ending the show has works for the show and it's a banger of a final fight. It's not a Game of Thrones Season 8 shitshow retroactively poisoning the well, it's well worth checking out.

Nier maybe, Buddy Daddies maybe, Bofuri S2 I guess, uhhhhhh judo girls? I'll keep on eye on this thread to see if there's any sleeper hits, otherwise it's time to catch up on non-anime TV.

I vibed with Nagatoro S1 even though it's incredibly...that so I'm looking forward to S2.

I made a list of about 12 things that I've got on a very short leash just in case there's a sleeper hit. I'm honestly expecting to drop most (and probably all) of it quickly.

putting kaine in nier automata would be a funny change for the anime but i'm not sure they'd get that ambitious

frankly i think the funniest thing to do for it would just to make every episode end stinger be one of the joke bad ends. have an episode end with 2b eating a fish

A couple of the LN series that are airing animes this season are on "catch up" on J-Novel.club meaning you can read the full series by subscribing.

"Kaina, I guess" is not referring to the Nier character Kaine, but to the anime Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, another show airing this season

While I agree with your basic point, Akira probably isn't the best example since the movie came out half way through the manga's run.

There's also another "Fired from [______] but went on to become a hero" fantasy series where there's a bunch of characters who got fired from various different places who decide to team up together, which I guess is a logical progression of the genre

The story begins with Nick, an experienced adventurer whose party is led by his mentor and father-figure Argus. Following the completion of their latest job, Nick discovers a chunk of the money has gone missing and realizes one of the party members is the culprit. To his surprise, Argus forgives the member and instead expels Nick after being accused of also embezzling funds. One night after several weeks in a downward spiral, Nick ends up in a local tavern where fate leads him to meeting three fellow adventurers. After a night of drinking, the four bond over their own betrayals and their destroyed ability to trust anyone. This is when Nick hatches on the idea for the four to form a party. Thus the story begins with a party of adventurers united in their belief that humans are bastards and desire to make some honest coin...

Okay I'm actually intrigued by that one because of the getting wasted together in a bar being the inciting incident of a really stupid idea.

Episode 1 just aired and it was derivative and charmless and every aspect of the production was below average

I guess it could've been interesting if the characters were actual fuckups with personalities but they're just bland characters who were kicked out of their parties because they were framed or unfairly blamed for stuff and didn't stick up for themselves

Would it be a bold transgressive twist if they actually deserved to be fired without the story giving a mountain of excuses for it or is that also well trodden ground

If they actually deserved it? It would be novel at least. Most of the "Fired" genre includes "unfairly" for various reasons like "weak", "greedy", "female" where except for the last one it's simply not true.

there's one where the guy slowly becomes incapable of fighting and is justifiably given the boot. it turns out he was cursed by his party for really convoluted reasons. also he recovered by simply casting a curse removal spell, as that was something he was capable of doing at any time. so really they should have fired him long before due to how incredibly loving stupid this dude was.

kicked out of the hero's party because
  • I was opposed to slavery
  • I am a half-orc and villagers keep exiling the party because of me
  • I am a blood healer which requires me to bleed on people to heal them and it's weirding everyone out
  • my isekai ability requires me to listen to bardcore warren g covers for superhuman accuracy but the bard doesn't appreciate the lyrics and my boombox is too loud

I like the one where the guy was kicked from the party because he has a skill that reduces all loot drops by 80%. He ultimately ends up grouped with 3 other people who also have horrible negative skills, but all their negative skills synergize to cancel each other out.

He didn't know he was cursed iirc and thought it was just a normal thing that was happening to him. It's been a while since reading that part though.

he didn't know what was happening to him and it wasn't normal. but at no point did he go down the list of what he could try to solve it. because he's dumb.
