So Uchouten Kazuko just ended. Though it ended pretty flat and left several things hanging, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Looking forward to the coming season now. Kill la Kill, Space Dandy, Kyousogiga.... this season might be one for the ages.

>order = popularity is a thing in the English version, too?

I think I remember Eichiro Oda mentioning in his SBS that the order in the Japanese version is based on whatever the staff feel like promoting. Which is influenced by poll-ranking, but not in a reliably predictable manner.

Lots of Japanese artists are influenced by western works. Shit, Urobuchi's oeuvre is incredibly Dostoevskian, to the point where it's clear he sat down and cracked open some thick Russian tomes at some point. It is by no means impossible of even unlikely that this guy read a seminal western work like Kamandi.

Zvezda ended up being the sleeper of the season for me. I honestly didn't expect much and was left in stitches after every episode. The way it just revels in its utter weirdness and absurdity really resonates with me. It's just my type of humor.

I was originally just watching because of Meteor, but yeah it turns out I actually quite like it, though usually it leaves me baffled (so it's like Forest in that regard at least).

If you ain't watching Hoozuki no Reitetsu, you better consider/reconsider picking it up. Underrated gem of the season.

Anybody else here watching it here? Ain't it a pain to wait for the superior non-Horriblesubs? I know I finally broke down and grabbed the HS subs recently. The wait for FFF kills me something fierce.

As someone who watched the entirety of Serial Experiments Lain and liked it well enough, I just cannot get into Texhnolyze.

Of course, I watched Lain when I was younger and Anime was far harder for me to come by. (A friend who had been into anime for a while gave me a shitload of the subtitled anime he had downloaded and already watched, and Lain was part of that.) I haven't seen it since, and I may not like it as much as I did then, or perhaps not at all.

Just strap yourself down and get past the first 2 episodes. If you can do that you should be able to watch the entire thing. But then again you might not be in the mood for dark depressing cyberpunk, and that is understandable. You may want to consider rewatching Lain in preparation.

Wizard Barrister seems... interesting. Opened up with a really awesome chase scene, but then it started to go a bit moe. Still, lots of potential, so I'll stick with it for a while.

Nah. I watched through the third episode and it still didn't hold my interest. I have an immense backlog of other anime I want to check out, too, so I've no interest in sticking with it.

>> No. 87351

I disagree completely. The FMA movie wrapped up pretty much everything that the series had left open and tied it in a nice little package.

The remaining homunculi died, the new villain was defeated, the course of our world's timeline was put back into order, Mustang regained his vigor and possibly became Fuhrer, and the Elric brothers were reunited. Just like in the end of the manga, having regained their bodies, they go out traveling the world together on new adventures.

The only appreciable difference is that Ed didn't marry Winry, and it wouldn't surprise me in the LEAST if that were the biggest reason people were unhappy with it. Also, it wasn't an unambiguously happy ending for the heroes. Considering how grim and dark the first FMA was compared to manga/Brotherhood, it wouldn't have made sense like that, anyway.

One could probably make a good portion of a personality test based on which version you prefer more. The grimdark, realistic, serious, gritty FMA where things suck most of the time and doesn't always come up roses; or the happy, exaggerated, funny, often chibi-fied FMA where things suck a little bit but it all works out in the end.

The difference between the two doesn't simple come down to themes. Infact, I'd say that's a very narrow, slight part of it overall.

I don't agree. Obviously, there's more to it than that, but everything else stems from the thematic differences. Bones took FMA's skeleton and used it to produce something completely opposite to the series it was purportedly adapting. All changes made make sense in the context of such a definitive change.
