Anime & Manga Thread v.5 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Welcome to 2017

It just feels like he’s running away instead of doing what needs to be done. It was cool how he stormed the castle then i wad like really…that doesn’t even include the sinbad and kassim stuff either.

Whoa, whoa whoa…Why didn’t anyone tell me Love Live was the hot fiyah?
Holy shit. This shit is fucking baller
Its all like…oh yeah…just some cute girls being cute WABAM! Phat brass track. Nothing to see here, just a tsundere girl fantasizing…WAMMO electro house. Lets slow down for the pace FUCK YOU WE WERE CUTE KIDS TOO. I guess wraps it UP ZAPOOWA! tasteful CGI dance sequence.

Finally…a show I can relate to. I mean…not as a many scalpings…but still very reminiscent.
Also. I’m pretty sure every idol dance move ever was thought up and choreographed by a balding, over weight man with limited mobility, who has probably never danced in his life. Japan is at least 20 years behind the rest of the world in dance technology.

I have absolutely no idea how you see that and come to that conclusion, so I’m tapping out.

Magi 14

Spoiler

I can understand that feeling when he was mentally thinking about continuing his journey with Aladdin. That thought was a bit selfish but it’s not like his intentions for making Balbadd a democratic state was done out of selfish reasons.

man what is this season of anime about? only new show i picked up was chihayafuru 2…what else is there?

Yeah I know he’s not being selfish. I just find his decision to be underwhelming.

From best to worst (Subject to change)

Love Live (School idols, adorable girl antics)
Minami Ke (Autobiographical, slice of life)
Vivid Red Operation The (Strike Witch aka Good ol fashioned mahou shoujo)
Tamako Market (Kyo Ani, Mugi-Azu baby)
Sasami San (Like Bakemonogatari, but good)
Maoyuu Yuusha (Spice and wolf with juggs)
Ore No Kanojo (Reluctant Harem)
Boku Wa Tomadatchi 2 (“No friends club” harem)
Senren Kagura (Titty ninjas)
AKB0048 2 (Idols in space)
Kotoura San (Psychic Shoujo)

Senren Kagura is low because they are all basketball boobs and no nipples so far. (Good titty shows have a whole RAINBOW of breasts). Kotoura san probably deserves to be higher, but I am biased against heterosexual romance. Amnesia doesn’t make the list because it is too gay. That bad kind of gay.

There also seems to be shorts airing than usual.
Yama no Susume- Lesbian mountain climbers
Mangirl -Manga publishing Girls…wish fulfillment for lonely editors…unfortunately named.
Osaka Mamma -Poverty animation…but I am a sucker for Kansai ben…or Osaka ben…I guess… I don’t know if I am willing to wade through the flash quality “animation” to listen to it. Maybe I’ll just close my eyes and imagine.

Other than the overweight bald man I agree with this. I’m usually not into the whole idol/singing animes but I gave Love Live a shot since I liked some of their songs/MV when they released some awhile ago. I dislike how they also like change their 2D models into 3D-ish models when they dance. It feels like they don’t fit alongside the background. Don’t know if I worded that correctly.

thank god for your description in parenthesis or else i woulda fell into your trap. thanks for the rundown, this was helpful.

Love Live does the whole 3D dance models thing too? I tried watching Aikatsu a while back but the 3D sequences burnt my eyes because of how horrible it looked.

I get what you are saying…but I don’t think they did a bad job. And they at least animated some of the dancing, and the character models are pretty good. Its not like in AKB0048 where they suddenly transform in ps2 characters.

They use it sparingly.

Have any of you seen the later series of Ikkitousen? I saw the first series ages ago and didn’t really enjoy it, but a friend keeps telling me to watch them.

would you like to borrow a gun so you can shoot your friend?

Oh no I didn’t mean they were bad they just felt like weird for me when I watched them lol. I remember a friend sending me a video about AKB0048… isnt that the one were they like sing and fight at the same time or something xD

Also nice list above for the new season, ima check out the ones that look interesting

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is probably the most notable show of the season that’s not a sequel. There’s a few other shows that might be promising but will probably need a few more episodes before a decision can be made.

It does a “so bad its good” thing that reverts back to bad, then good, then bad, then good again till the point where it is kind of transcendental.
My favorite part is when the otaku fight the oppressors with their mecha with idols painted on the sides.

What trap? I am the epitome of honest, brevity and helpfulness. There is something to be said about abdicating gross verbiage.

Your friends must really hate you.

Yeah, I figured as much. I’ve got other series to be getting on with anyway.

Cameltousen is ass. You’re not going to like new ass better than old ass. Your friend is dumb.

I can’t help but think of Love Live as a poor man’s Idolm@ster. The girls are too similar and the setting is too plain.
