So.
Yeah.
Magi.
What?
I love how the biggest twist that has happened in this manga has nothing to do with politics or Rukh and that stuff.

>>84952
What are you talking abouHUUUUWHAAAAAAAAAAAA
Wow, shonen series like Magi don't usually go back on their shipteases. Well, unless this is kicking off a short arc where Morgianna gets the guts to confess her feelings.
Good news for Hakuryuu, though.

>Art From I.G's Shelved Snake Plissken Anime Revealed
What it could have been...

I picked up Kyoukai no Kanata, because I read the synopsis and thought it sounded interesting. Turns out it is. What I didn't know is that it is a KyoAni show. KyoAni doing action? This entire season might just have too much animation porn for me to handle. I will get forever spoiled.
Also, I need the OST for this show, like, yesterday.

>Kill la Kill
>Coppelion
>Kyoukai no Kanata
>Kyousougiga
>Nagi no Asukara

it is good to be alive

Guys, I can't recommend Choukakou enough. It's like Mulan, but even better. With higher stakes, political intrigue, strategy, personal growth and philosophy. Also, very handsome men. Just bear with the silly amount of impossible to remember Chinese names being thrown around in the first few chapters and you won't regret it.

>>85009
>This entire season might just have too much animation porn for me to handle.

I'm watched Kill la Kill before watching Kyoukai no Kanata and it made me realize how beautiful KyoAni animation is and how comfy it makes me feel (not that Kill la Kill's animation is bad, just stylized which I also really like but yeah).

Finally got around to watching all of Deadman Wonderland.

That was one of the most, if not the most, unfulfilling endings I have ever seen. It wasn't the nearly retarded-girl-lovefest I thought it would be after reading >>84432, but so much potential just went *splat*. I assume the manga goes onward, but, fuck, now I have no interest in looking at the scans.

Hell, Danganronpa had a more fulfilling ending, and it went full tilt at the very end.

>>85034
>>85035

The anime (as far as I can tell from wiki summaries; fuck actually watching it) ends before it turns into the stomach-turning love story.

The manga continues on for a fair distance but oh my god, it is absolutely not worth it.

This next spring is gonna be GREAT

>>85040

I love how /a/ makes these for every season/

>>85040
Goddamn troll lists. Getting my hopes up until I start noticing things like Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer and Yotsuba and Baccano 2. Silly /a/. Everyone knows the universe is never going to love us enough for any of those to happen.

>Vinland Saga
>JJBA

I'm just going to imagine this is real for a few minutes. A few more minutes.

Speaking of Baccano!, Horrible Subs just posted Samurai Flamenco so hold onto your butts, folks. (Also: kyoukai no kanata and kill la kill are so fucking good and rebellion story comes out in 16 days in japan i cannot believe how fucking good this season is)

>>85052
Samurai Flamenco is the fruitiest thing and it's EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.

I don't think anyone but you or me is going to watch it though (it's got the same director as Baccano and Kuragehime it's so good gaaaaaaah) so no thread from me.

>>85052
Samurai Flamenco's straddling the line between hilarious, emotionally involving and so boring it practically knocks me unconscious. It's impossible to tell if it's going to be something that stands out from the crowd or a total waste of time.

I havent really heard anything on whats a good comedy for this season.

I always need a comedy to splash in with my drama and action.

>>85060
Valvrave is pretty funny. It's not TRYING to be of course but by episode 6 of the first season, one of the heroines is getting her battle powerup from people watching her on space livestream/twitter so she can finally be famous like she wanted to be.

Also body swapping space vampires.

>>85060
Kill la Kill is actually pretty funny. It has about as much comedy as it does action. Maybe more.

>>85059
Baccano! has a really boring first two or three episodes, so I still have high hopes for Samurai Flamenco

Having a show's story revolve around a group of schoolboys who wear glasses sounds fucking silly as hell. The good news is that the show itself agrees!

>>85077

Too bad it sucks enormously.

>>85093
I found it to be humorous, myself.

FMA: Sacred Star of Milos was an okay movie.

>Reading The town only I don't live in
>Think it's complete and get to the end of the chapters just as the mystery is getting good

FUCK, and it's always with Sanbe Kei stuff I like, this is almost worse than waiting for Cradle of Monsters to finish.

http://mangafox.me/manga/boku_dake_ga_inai_machi/c001/1.html

If anyone wants to read it, think Ground Hog Day as a murder mystery.

Holy shit!
Shaman King Flowers is still a thing!
And it's GLORIOUS.

>Reading Sprite
>nipples obscured by hair
>Vaginas unobscured

It just strikes me as weird.

>>85118
That does indeeed sound weird.

So, is the if-you-get-soaked-you-automatically-catch-a-cold trope completely a stereotype, or are Japanese people just kinda frail?

>Inferno Cop getting a second season

https://twitter.com/infernocop/status/389692151887458304

>>85123
Well they also believe that idiots can't catch colds.

>>85123
>>85131

Well it's not really a stereotype so much as a popular misconception, since getting wet has absolutely nothing to do with catching a cold.

>>85132
True. Neither does being cold, necessarily. The virus is always present in the human body, and it affects you when there's vulnerable tissue in your sinuses and throat and your immune system is down. So screaming yourself hoarse or having dry sinuses is more likely to get you sick than being cold or wet.

>>85133

...what? That's not true at all. Colds are infectious diseases passed from person to person. It's rhinovirus, not fucking herpes.

Is anyone watching Log horizon? I know it looks like a show trying to get some money from SAO success, but it's actually really good so far. It was written by the same person who wrote Maoyuu Maou Yuusha so there is a ton of world building. The MC plays support instead of just killing everything by himself and it's not a harem.

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Girl-x-Girl-x-Boy/

Has Samurai Flamenco stopped being boring as fuck yet? Feel asleep watching the first one.

I approve of this idea and would fund it if I had monies.

>>85355

Oh, and for the record, Toonami will get the official world premiere of Space Dandy; it'll be airing episodes before they air in Japan.

You know, all the ridiculous fanservice aside, Shigure was actually really fucking scary in this chapter.

>>85365
I admit, I was not expecting savate ladydude to show up again like, at all.

>>85368
I wasn't expecting Sakaki's other partner to show up, either. I think he was actually mentioned in passing in HSDK, but was explained more in the original manga.

>>85372
Do you think Jennifer Grey might show up again? I liked her. She was refreshingly small-titted.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4U0FQ15BX8A0tE5KLHndwQNFyCLVQVNj

So, apparently, Manga's putting up the whole run of Revolutionary Girl Utena sometime today. And if the clips they've uploaded so far are to be believed, it'll be in HD, too.

As someone who hates how Nozomi Entertainment buttfucks everyone with its ‘limited’ YouTube ‘air schedule’ and how it ganked all but the first two episodes of Utena off its channel, FUCKING THANK YOU MANGA ENTERTAINMENT YOU BASED FUCKING LICENSOR.

>>85382
B-but I just watched the whole series like 2 weeks ago! Is the dub any good?

>>85383

The dub's existence is bit of a unique case: a third of the show was dubbed when Central Park Media originally owned the license (back when VHS was still a thing!), then the rest of the show got dubbed years later (with the original cast intact!) when CPM finally worked out some wonky rights issues.

As far as quality goes…well, it's okay. Not as bad as your typical late-'90s/early-2000s dubs, but not altogether great. CPM was never known for quality dubs back then, anyway (that ‘award’ went to ADV).

All right, got updated with Kyoukai no Kanata, and it's pretty cool.
I still can't believe that KyoAni could pull out a series like this.
Also, Coppelion is quite intriguing though I know people who aren't gonna like the gradient of colors the series has and already have pulled out instragram jokes.
By the way, how's Galilei Donna?

>>85382

The playlist just went live. It’s not in HD, but shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, at least it's the full series with no ‘oh hey we’re only putting this up for a day’ Nozomi-esque bullshit in sight.

I should rewatch Utena. I watched the entire dub when I was younger (plus the movie) and very much enjoyed it then, but that was over a decade ago and despite my continued interest in yuri I don't know that I'd still like it now.

Really interesting read. Explains a lot of things that are happening in the industry. Predictably, /a/ is losing their shit over this single paragraph, though:
>What is new information, at least to me, is the revelation that the workforce in anime production is increasingly skewed towards women, a major shift in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Hiro points out that in the past 3 years, out of the 15 contract hires Madhouse brought on to help with animation work, only one was male.

>>85565

Miyazaki said much the same thing a while back; whenever they make a job posting, only women apply.

Going to be an interesting shift when all of these new hires start seeping into leadership and direction.

>>85566
>Miyazaki said much the same thing a while back; whenever they make a job posting, only women apply.
He also said this signaled the death of the industry. Misogyny!

>>85566
Or when that time of the month comes. There you go, now we know why men aren't applying much to these studios anymore.

>>85568

IIRC that was poorly translated and he was saying that it was the death of the anime industry as we know it. Which isn't an inaccurate thing to say, moving from a male-dominated space to a female-dominated space is going to cause some changes, even if the audience stays the same.

>>85572
That seems more believable. Miyazaki's a noted feminist, so it seems unlikely that he would consider animation "dead" if women took over.

>>85571
Cooties?

>>85574
Pretty much. Can't animate on cooties.

So apparently the Madoka movie happened a while a go.

How's everyone holding up?

Toonami’s airing Akira, Summer Wars, Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa, and Trigun: Badland Rumble next month.

I hope to God that CN doesn’t butcher Akira too much.

Just fucking wow. Make some porn already, dude.

>>85617
Its clearly all the series is good for now. Please stop posting pages since its just depressing with how bad the series has gotten.

>>85617
For Fucks Sake.

>>85618
What did it use to have going for it?

>>85644
Some pretty neat martial arts stuff. Not really realistic, but the mangaka at least tried to give an explanation to basic techniques and applied them in actually somewhat down-to-earth manner. And then he shifted focus to the masters, who mow everything down with mystical superpowers and the manga just became about tits and powerlevel bullshit. Imagine some street level hero comic and in the middle suddenly Son Goku takes over and he's brought a bunch of tits and ass.

So D.Gray man just completely fucking fell to shit huh?

The Art, the story, the concept all just down the shitter.

>>85617
What series is this? Because if it's Rosario to Vampire it was never good.

>>85668

No, Rosario + Vampire was never this porn-y and went all Shonen on us, actually.

I think this is History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.

>>85669

Correct.

>>85667

It was never really good IMO but yeah. It got worse. A lot worse.

>>85671
It was at least somewhat compelling....until they started going "School" anyway.

Just finished episode 62 of Legend of Galactic Heroes. And I'm really digging it. It's basically all I've wanted from Gundam, but better in every way possible. Never watched Gundam for the mecha. Who else here has watched LoGH? Should I watch the movies and/or other OVAs before or after finishing the main series?

So Samurai Flamenco...

I'm not sure I like what just happened

>>85702

I'm not sure if I did either, but damned if I wasn't laughing in disbelief.

BLUE EXORCIST review

Not a "review", so much as a "teaser" for the next show Toonami's gonna air.

>>85713

Is the Blue Exorcist anime less mediocre than the manga?

I understand this is supposed to be an alternate universe and as such the characters and events are all going to be different from their show counterparts to some degree, but even so. . . my brain is full of fuck.

Also, all dat reused animation.

Is Gatchaman Crowds any good? I'm not a huge fan of sentai or the original Gatchaman, and if most of the complaints I've heard regarding it is that it's not faithful to the source material then it shouldn't be a problem for me.

>>85727
Yeah, it went real loopy. My personal problem going in was that I thought it would be a continuation or "long episode" (like the Cowboy Bebop movie); I didn't expect the alternate reality we got.

I reckon about half of the movie was reused animation. Not the worst thing, though, if that's what made it possible.

>>85729
The biggest complaint I've heard about it is that it's exceptional at wasting time; there was hair-pulling when the second last episode (out of twelve) was a recap episode.

I really enjoy the philosophical turn Vagabond has taken. It's so goddamn relaxing to read.

>>85732
Really nice developments in latest Vinland Saga, too.

So as it turns out Onedera's mom is THE BEST character.

No really.

>>85870
You ain't kidding.

Actually this is Kamandi as presented by Kentaro Miura.

I like this guy, he's a great main character, it'll be nice to know what the fuck this is about.

Gigantomakiha seems really generic, and the return of the Racism Roaches doesn't improve it.

>>85876
There is no knowledge of the greater universe or even what this conflict is over so I'm just gonna say that's a touch premature.

>>85879
It's okay, he just needed a break to work out some other ideas probably, besides at this point he's already probably done and back to working on Berserk.

>>85881
> he just needed a break to work out some other ideas probably
Yeah because he works so hard on Berserk all the time oh wait

>>85882
>Oh wait, he works WAAAAY harder than I'm giving him credit for and not acknowledging how creatively exhausting it must be to work on the same thing for decades.

>>85883
Yeah I bet it IS dull working on the same thing for decades which is why he should STOP PISSING AROUND WITH THIS 4 CHAPTERS A YEAR SHIT AND FINISH IT.

Yeah it's pretty clear Miura's care for Berserk is near non-existant now. Many other artists (Makoto Yukimura and Kaoru Mori for example) manage the same level of quality in their aty without Miura's endless hiatuses. I wish his editor would put the screws on him, he plainly doesn't do much.

Well, I can't say much for the story, the art is interesting enough I'll come back for issue two.

Great, an all new type of fucking horrible.

Whatta we got now, like 4 types of terrible? Bokor, standard infect, Dogmen and what the fuck this is? Along with whatever mutation of Bokor Newman or whatever his name is?

K, only three episodes in, but I'm really digging Samurai Flamenco.

>>85885
Procrastination is often caused by a person being too afraid of failure to go on. It's entirely possible that Berserk has become SO important to him that he's increasingly terrified of making a misstep, and THAT'S why his output is so slow.

Not giving a shit in the proper amounts is actually a really important skill for a professional artist to have.

I really enjoyed Saint Young Men but

that "radish" joke was unnecessarily long and verbose. I could figure out what the circumstance was once Buddah's expression was shown

I've started watching Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, and holy shit this show is so fucking good.

>>85990
Everyone thinks so at the start.

It doesn't last.

So Kyoukai no Kanata ended.
What a flaccid fucking cop-out of a non-ending. I want to get those hours back I wasted watching this.

>Thorfinn returns home
>Surprisingly, nobody is dead

Yep, Vinland Saga's still good!

I recently found the first volume at the library (hardcover, it's really nice), because apparently VS actually got licensed at some point, and read a bit of that. MAN you forget after years and years of serialization how some of that early stuff really comes around, like how the whole "a true warrior needs no swords" thing was something Thors said that nobody understood (they thought he meant hand to hand combat).

And there's this little gem.

>>85991
Just finished it, and I still say it was a damn good anime overall.

Fuck the island arc though, god damn.

>>85990

akljfhawkefj SO MANY COOL LADIES BEING COOL

Teppu's actual fights didn't engage me too much on a pure-action level, cause I lack the knowledge needed to appreciate all the technical MMA details going on. I just enjoyed them via what they meant for/about all the people who're present.

That changed over time. This page was the first moment that got a visceral gut "OOOOOOHH" the moment I saw it. Hasn't been the last, either. The artist still covers all the technical details but has REALLY started to nail pacing and use all these different kinds of "camera shots" to enhance various moments.

But above all else: God, I love the protagonist so much. I LOVE THIS CHARACTER SO GODDAMN MUCH. Like, this HAS to be partly just my own tastes but I'm constantly just going =D at her wonderful twisted nature.

It really says something that the clearest parallel I can see for her personality is Alucard from Hellsing. She WANTS A CHALLENGE. She doesn't want people to tell her she's cool or to make character X proud or even to Be The Strongest. She's BEEN the strongest and HATES it, it's boring and kinda lonely. Nothing disappoints her like an easy win, and god damn does that resonate with me.

Thank you for showing me this, Tiki. It's not like I ever needed to sleep again, or anything.

>>86201
No problem!

Freezing has an interesting universe. It's basically Pacific Rim meets Bubblegum Crisis. Too bad the story they focus on is one of high school drama with plenty of panty shots and anime cliche. What's funny is that, at least on Hulu, the dub is a-okay with showing naked breasts while the sub puts these out-of-place swaths of light over them and the panty shots! So what's the point?

>>86205
Freezing is a shitty collection of rape doujins in the form of an action series and nothing about the setting makes that much sense.

Its just straight out bad.

>>86205
>What's funny is that, at least on Hulu, the dub is a-okay with showing naked breasts while the sub puts these out-of-place swaths of light over them and the panty shots! So what's the point?

That's just because the dub, as with most foreign releases, uses the DVD/BD version, whereas the sub release on hulu is a simulcast of the broadcast version that's been around longer. The sub version that's on FUNimation's website is probably the uncensored version.

Anyway, with a lot of the more adult-oriented anime, their censorship is deliberately half-ass--and probably more frequent than the law or network standards requires--for the sake of encouraging people to get the BDs. The television broadcast is pretty much considered an advertisement for the DVD version and the source material it's based on.

>>86205
The point is for Im Dal Young to rant about women, as is ultimately the point of all his series.

Im Dal Young is the worst.

>>86208
He's pretty bad but not nearly as bad as the Highschool of the Dead guy.

>>86209
Uh, the HOTD guy seemed to be more about glorifying the Japanese Right-Wing in his preaching than anything to do about women, they were just there to be fanservice

>>86207
> the sub release on hulu is a simulcast of the broadcast version that's been around longer
That does make sense. It just showed up on Hulu, though, so it may be that the distributor (AN?) is using the same tactic in an effor to get people to sign up for Plus or buy the show.

The hentai with all the dudes with super long dicks raping a young girl (and I think there's assassins involved somewhere?) is getting a live-action version with Samuel L Jackson? WHAT? This isn't April...

>>86278
Do... do they know it's a hentai?

Even if you ignore the source material the trailer/clip looks boring.

Yes it is.

Basically it's a slice of life show where instead of teasing the audience with yuri subtext, the two main girls are making out with each other from the first episode.

It was from /co/ precisely, in the whole perfect redhead thing.
Though I've seen very cool ideas from this.

>>86456

Ah, the fatal flaw of boob armour...

I posted a few months ago about how I hated the idea of this series and acted like a general ass about it. Rewatching it now I completely fucking misjudged this show. While it's not necessarily the Lupin focused show I'd like I have to give it props for making me actually interested in Fujiko, who's not usually the deepest or most well handled character, but goddamn they pulled it off here. If anything it's worth watching for that animation alone. So many shots feel like they could've been pulled straight out of the original manga and I love it for that.

I don't know if I can handle all these constant titties thought sweet Jesus. SWEET JESUS THEM TITTIES.

>>86476
I only watched the first half and still need to watch the second, but all I really remember is them sweet titties.

But they show you where its going right in the beginning of the first episode.

Seriously, except for Akisame, they're all prone to just going bananas. And even Akisame is pissed off in this fight. If you were wondering "how much can a baddy be beaten, but not beaten to death?" well, this is going to answer it, I reckon.

Oh God! I think that thing is the other half of the new Karusu, like everything they cast off when they fought and Takashi apparently became the dominate, so it's mainly naked emperor who no one will acknowledge and Karusu's childishness....which kinda explains it's affinity with Hideo.

>>86773
The TV series? Downloaded it some time ago. Haven't watched yet, but still looks alright.

>>86774
Not if you were looking for something like the OVA. It goes from a parody of the magical girl genre to just another clone. While they still have the same skimpy uniforms and shout "Erection!" to transform, the show barely registers as PG13 vs. the original's R and loses all humor.

>>86775
Took another quick look at them. Still gotta watch it properly to see if the characters at least stayed true. Too bad for the animation quality drop from OVA to tv, though, and yeah, guess it would take some work to still keep it the same kind of parody.

I couldn't be more on board with this.

So that happened in Claymore 147

>>86827
Man, this is Bleach tier, the fight has been going for a year now.

>>86836
The difference is this only has 12 chapters a year to Bleach's 40-some.

>>86836
>>86841

Honestly, I'd say it's worse than Bleach. At least with Bleach the characters are visually distinct and the action, if repetitive and dull, is at least fairly mobile on the page.

Claymore is just a swarm of visually indistinct characters doing the same things over and over again in terminally dull, static pages.

It's just so bad. Which is unfortunate because on paper Claymore sounds like my dream series. But the execution is so unbelievably terrible.

And I'm glad that he went a whole issue without dragging me into his magical realm.
Seriously what the fuck was up with that?

>>86868
It was exactly what you said. "Dare you enter my magical realm" scenario.

>>86836
It feels more Naruto than Bleach. Time to wrap this up, take EVERY PLOT THREAD and have them all crash together in a crazy multiple-year-long battle royale where you're losing track of half the characters and have no idea how things played out to this point.

Buuuuut that specific page was good. It'll be alot less good when she smacks him down and goes Final Form or whatever.

>>86850
>>86852
Ubel Blatt...

Christ.

Ubel Blatt is in the same category for me as uh, Air Gear and Tenjo Tenge. There are some REALLY GOOD aspects and also some overall fucked-up shit when it comes to 'fanservice'.

In this case the overall good thing turns out to be the premise/general story setup. I'm not gonna spoil, it takes like 1 or two volumes to really reveal itself. I'm kind of reminded of what Code Geass pulled in its better moments with Hero is Villian is Hero is Villian, but BETTER- more coherent and believable and justified. And also just original/refreshing in some ways, different kind of main character.

Chapter to chapter, story is... okay. Has some really good moments and some eh moments and aforementioned creepy fanservice shit on occasion. Creepy like Berserk's rape horse. I mean I'm not saying it literally has- FUCK. FUCK, NO, IT LITERALLY DOES HAVE THAT. OKAY THERE YOU GO.

Also, it came off this year+ hiatus, and the next 20 ensuing chapters have been almost 100% "eh" material.

>>86876
You take forever to say nothing.

>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.

Fuck Yeah Marika!

Things are actually happening in Chu2. Not a lot of things. But they actually happen to happen. Which is already a big step forward.

And we're back to an Attack on Titan coat of paint on Kamandi.

>>87168
Okay Tiki. Tiki.

TIKI.

NOBODY, especially not this JAPANESE GUY, knows or cares about this Kamandi thing you are always on about. There is no way it is what he is drawing this stuff from.

Being as it's one of the most pivotal comics ever written I highly doubt that, it's clear he's drawing inspiration from it or one of it's many inspired movies, songs, series, etc

>>87171
>it's clear he's drawing inspiration from it or one of it's many inspired movies, songs, series, etc
Yeah, sure thing.
ON THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE

>>87175
Right, which have then made their way around the world.

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.

On that note: HSDK had the Fastball Special in it this week. Neat.

So I guess that means Chitoge might possibly have been first place if they only counted number of people voting, not number of votes, seeing as she has no backer.

Well da'www and hardassness does mix.
Huh.

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.

>>87243
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).

Pepel is the best character.

>>87243
What exactly is that humor, do say.

>Tensai Okamura
On second thought...

I'm convinced nobody actually buys Goro's movies to masturbate. They're simply comedy gold.

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.

I love Master Ma...

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.

>>87338
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.

>>87342
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.

I JUST FINISHED THE ORIGINAL FMA AND IM MAD NOW
WHAT A BAD ENDING
THATS SOME GAINAX SHIT RIGHT THERE

>>87345
Did you watch the movie? The movie wraps up the story in a number of ways.

>>87345

There's a reason why people say read the manga or watch Brotherhood.

>>87347

That's trading one dumb Gainax ending for another.

With Hitler.

>>87350

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.

Magi's really going off the fucking rails.

So apparently Idolm@ster's getting a male counterpart.

And just like when Free! came out, the screaming shitfits and bitter tears of insecure male otaku are flowing again.

>>87351

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.

>>87351

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.

>>87364

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.

>>87351

>>87367
It really was the complete opposite. For one thing, the original manga is good.

What the shit happened to mangafox?

This seems like a fun boat trip, but their last one got blown up, as I recall.
