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

Think its the Haruhi film.

dunno anything about the show

its 10/10

Attack on Tittybars

Finished SnK yesterday.

SnK episode 24+25 spoilers with manga comparisons.

[details=Spoiler]As people mentioned already, episode 24 was pretty much filler content at the point where the roof collapsed on Eren. Personally, I didn’t mind the filler content as it didn’t feel out of place and blended in with the rest of the story.

I’m actually surprised with where they left off in episode 25 as the scene in the after credits has a more prominent scene in the manga. Obviously, they’ll save that for the next season but it just seems weird how they handle that. Overall, the anime adaptation was really well done and was pretty faithful to the manga give or take a few things.[/details]

SnK finale was pretty cool. Guess I gotta read the manga now.

SNK ep 25
ALL OF MY FEELS!!!

Its Maken-Ki, which, I have been meaning to watch for a while
looks like a pretty Godly OVA

Last episode of Genshiken had a titan
which then got attacked by Chun-Li
Rewatching the first season and man
it is like a completely different show. I guess having stuff like “conflict” and “antagonism” will do that sort of thing.

Good to know there’s an ending in sight!! I’ll probably just read the manga if there’s no 2nd season once the manga ends. I can wait.

I bet the manga will just end once they get back to Eren’s house and everything is revealed and wrapped up in one volume. Until then, questions and more questions. lolz

I am going balls deep in Kill La Kill, Coppelion, and Samurai Flamenco. Everything else looks garbage. Especially the ones SJ likes (oppai riddled tripe).

Whatever that maken ki shit is should have just been a straight up porno lol
wack ass softcore crap

You know for a show about “Card Battles” Fantatista Dolls did absolutely nothing to explain the rules of the game. If there are any, what the objective is, how do you win, how you control the cards, what are the limitations of the cards, do they have health, when can you play them, do you get unlimited uses of them, what makes one card or technique stronger than another, are they “real”, what powers them
its all kind of left up to the imagination. I don’t know if there was any battle that actually
finished
usually they have some kind of epiphany and the fighting stops.

As for the story, well
turns out there were no badguys, and twice the people who seemed like the badguy where actually good all along. In the second last episode, 2 of the character who have been in the know, and have been talking to the main character since the beginning and hold a meeting in an auditorium and explain the story to everyone, although some of the explanations were paper thin (The cards were made of geniuses). And it turns out she didn’t have to hide the existence of the dolls to her mom, because she knew about them all along. Oh and that thing that was driving the entire story? Well, turns out it was on the internet the whole time. They just all went and searched for it and like, a few hours later the problem was solved in its entirety. All the plots and schemes the “badguy” contrived were completely unnecessary.

Spoiler

How does a card die anyway? Like, if they are just data, why would getting hit by a truck do anything? Aren’t the cards themselves in a her iphone dealy? Why would physical damage scatter data all over the internet? Proto Zero could withstand being shot with a giant ass nazi railroad howitzer, Sonnet couldn’t take one truck? What is up with Japanese truck drivers? Like, how many people die a year to their negligent asses?

But all that is ok because the designs are cute.

anyone know where this from?

angel beats.

Goddamn, newest chapter of Magi

Spoiler

Poor Mor. Definitely did not see Toto + Alibaba as actually happening.

One in spoilers I think is Ocean Waves. 1st one is definitely from the Haruhi movie as already identified.

Bwahaha, even the characters themselves in the Angel Beats are packing it up and getting out of the show. Man so much going for it with that show, never did live up to its potential imo.

Angel Beats was a lot more interesting when it was about Yuri
 and then turned into garbage when it started to focus way too much on Tenshi (that’s when it went from a kinda silly, fun show into something a bit too serious). Don’t get me wrong, I love shows that try to delve into human emotions, but I don’t think Angel Beats had a clear direction on where the hell it was going or what kind of show it really wanted to be.

I always heard angel beats was suppose to be 2 cour but ended 1 cour for whatever reason. But Angel Beats is getting a VN that should def expand the story a lot and answer a lot of questions.

Angel Beats just fell victim to a writer too use to working with visual novels that he fell flat on his face when tackling an anime series for the very first time. Too ambitious, too much in too little time. VN’s you can take as long as you damn want and be as detailed as you damn want. Not so much the case with tv series though, where you’re under constant time constraints and need to package things into neat 22 min blocks.

That 2 cour getting cut down to 1 cour rumour stemmed from a comment by the director in some interview somewhere mentioning that the amount of material the writer wanted to incorporate would’ve been more suited for a two cour show and they told him to try and reign some of it back during planning and production.

Last episode of Railgun S2 was not bad at all. Pretty good shit and heaps of great moments all around, especially in regards to giving everyone their time in the spotlight. 2nd arc wasn’t as bad as I was initially expecting it to be either, slightly more serious and less cake-eating than I had anticipated. Colour me impressed I’d say, considering it was all filler content from the end of the Sisters onwards. I know people are gonna complain about all the asspulls made, but I’ve pretty much accepted that as part of any Raildex series that I watch now and just go along with it for the ride. I’ve enjoyed it more ever since lol

yeah, second arc of S was asspull city, but it at least had some moments of amusment.
