Disciple0fAnrky Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Isekai is possibly the worst genre besides harem bs and then it can be even worse since most brain dead cookie cutter isekai being crapped out are in fact also harems......shit is horrid. We need more actual fantasy stuff the likes of Goblin Slayer and The Promised Neverland. Emma is one of the best female protagonist that we have gotten in a while and Beardcutter is just a badass Quote Link to comment
TWINBLADES Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I saw SAO back when S1 was popping and I honestly didn't hate it. Yes the pacing is shit and yes Cuckitito is OP and trash but eh..... it wasn't that bad. That being said that was like 4 years ago and I dropped anime after that so I wasn't around when the Ieskai floodgates opened. My taste in Anime is pretty post 90's early 00's Gundam/Shonen schlock so I'm not to hung up on what Anime isn't right now since I've gotten into some recent shows that entertain me.

Poltergeist Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I wrote a review about it on the original site a year or two ago. My issue with it is that SAO isn't the worst thing ever. I'd rather watch that over some garbage like Queen's Blade. What I really hated is that Season 2 used a plot element that could've made Season 1 really, good and season 2 itself was overall actual garbage. They finished the main arc of it with about 6 episodes left and they made that all filler so I bailed. The point from Season 2 that I wanted them to explore was the real life repercussions while everyone was trapped in the game. Shit like what's happening the the players comatose bodies, what is the public at large doing to bring the whole incident to an end, etc. The first season had a bunch of time skips and I feel episodes covering outside happenings would've made it smoother on top if providing a better thought out story. You know like "Kirito is leveling right now so here's some other stuff to dig into instead". The whole premise of the series was wasted potential, and since SAO set the standard, I don't think it will ever be properly done. There's so many things you can do with that conflict especially for a talented writer. Quote Link to comment
Disciple0fAnrky Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 What is everyone looking forward to from these next few upcoming seasons? Megalo Box looks pretty hype. Quote Link to comment

Pastrami Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Not sure if it's an april fools joke but ANN is reporting that Toonami aired the first episode of FLCL3 in japanese. Gotta scour the internet now! It wasn't an april fools joke. Spoiler Dunno what to think about this episode. It wasn't terrible but wasn't exciting. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot more whimsical but instead it turned out to be like a k-on episode and I hate that show. For now I'll try hard not to compare it to the original series and wait and see how it all plays out when it finally airs in September Edited April 2, 2018 by Pastrami Reasons Deadly_Raver 1 Quote Link to comment

misterBee Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 So I saw Basilisk for the first time this week. It's from 2005 but man it's a masterpiece. Then I saw the 2018 sequel...and it's a burning pile of shit. I was so disappointed. Had to drop it after 2 eps. Deadly_Raver and Disciple0fAnrky 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The show isn't even finished yet and I'm a couple episodes behind. I do agree though, Basilisk is one of the most overlooked shows to ever come out of anime. It's an all time favorite for me But anyway don't you think it's weird that Spoiler There are children who strongly resemble Gennousuke and Oboro, even though they never had children before the final episode? And that they even have the same powers? Also I've been watching Kakegurui since they finally put it on Netflix. The animation is certain segments is really smooth and top notch, but I personally think the soundtrack really tops everything off. Majority of it has a slow build up and really shines within the context of the show, but there's something about the menacing, frantic nature of it that really helps encapsulate how mentally unstable most characters are. It also sounds like some Danganronpa shit so that's a plus for me Quote Link to comment
Pastrami Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Is anyone subscribed to any anime streaming sites? HiDive is running a promotion that will end on the 9th which offers anime at 4 bucks a month for two years. I mainly got it since I'm a cheapskate and also because it was the only place I could find the 2nd season of Food Wars dubbed. I barely pay for anime as it is since I usually stream it for free so it makes me feel a little better to actually pay for it and give back to the creators in a way. Quote Link to comment

If I wanted to pay for streaming I might do crunchyroll, but I've never really looked into it. Maybe I'll check this out. I don't usually do dubs though. ;) Quote Link to comment

On the the other hand I can’t watch foreign films dubbed cuz it’s just stupid. Though I don’t even know if people still dub live action movies. Quote Link to comment

Iduno Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Tbh I still use other methods to watch anime online and buy the dvds I want when they come out. Crunchyroll completely fucked up with the UK when they went legit and Funimation can eat all the dicks for what they did to Dragon Maid. Also that new boxing show that just launched is sick as fuck, kind of giving me some Redline vibes. Edited April 12, 2018 by Iduno i feel like it Quote Link to comment

Iduno Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 They basicaly completely rewrote a lot of the lines for the dub and had haracters like Lucoa spouting lines that sound like they come straight off tumblr. Not sure if their sub was effected since I was using another group at the time, found out about it when someone posted about it in the SRK animu thread. Quote Link to comment
TWINBLADES Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 For as much as I love dubs, I understand why the sub community would be up in arms about those types of re-writes. There's a fine line between trying to make sense of something that's difficult to translate and taking artistic liberties to the extremes. But I think comedy anime is just too fucking hard to dub right because so much of it so deeply entrenched in Japanese puns and subtext that most non Japanese speaking audiences will not get the references unless they're a huge huge huge fucking weeb. A good example of this is Dagashi Kashi, which has a great dub but falls into the "you wont get this reference unless you are Japanese" trap. Although from what I've seen they didn't try to take away the cultural aspects of the candy and it's history to appease the normie anime audience. But many people still wondered why Funimation would even attempt to dub that show in the first place. This is also why I'm not a huge fan of slice of life/moe blob comedy cuz I'm not interested in Japanese humor. That being said the sneeze because someone is talking about you gag still gets a chuckle from me. Quote Link to comment
