Who Doesn't enjoy Trigger's work anymore?

While I really enjoy the Soul Eater series, I skip the Excalibur episodes. Just can't stand em.

After four episodes of Isekai Shokudou I think I'm done. There's been no real overarching story line, barely even indivigual episode stories, just long detailed descriptions of food and it's just gotten boring.


Yeah, I'm losing interest too.
It was fun at first, but then it just became food porn. If I wanted food porn I'll...cook I guess? I don't know where to go with that, but anyway.

I just rewatched Kill La Kill again, one of my favorite 3rd act twists in all anime, anyone here enjoy Trigger's work?


Also, has anyone here seen Soul Eater? Its kinda goofy the first few episodes (and the first 3 episodes are all intro episodes for the main character Triumvirate) but it gets really dark and heavy in some parts, but always reels it back, usually with Excalibur
I feel it's a strong 8 but the anime original content is a bit lacking in my opinion.

Trigger's work has been, to be diplomatic, slipshod at best lately. Kill la Kill was very much a high point.

Ah! AduroT, thank you for reminding me about LIttle Witch Academia. Gotta start watching that.

GENERATION 8: The first time you see this, copy and paste it into your sig and add 1 to the number after generation. Consider it a social experiment.

Made in Abyss episode 4, both blistering fast and a little slow in terms of story progression if you'll believe that. But, still a good breather episode and lots of juicy plot foreshadowing and setup. I really liked it.

Another week, another Made in Abyss. Still a great show and starting to show the messed up-ness it was hinting at.

So I've started watching Evangelion since bizarrely I never got around to watching it. The first half seems a bit light hearted compared to what I've heard.

If you're watching the series I would advice not and watching the three movies instead, 1.11, 2.22, and 3.33. Better animation and story. The series has a notoriously messed up and not good ending.

See, I've seen the three movies, but not the series, and I find myself wanting to watch it. The longer format of the series gives a lot more time for character development, I think, 'cause I missed a lot of the characterization that people tend to discuss/complain about/fetishize, due to fewer intimate scenes. Not to mention, fewer Angels and thus not as many action scenes.

Don't get me wrong, the movies are amazing. Higher quality everything. But I'm wondering if the series might not be worthwhile in terms of getting to know the characters.

Wait until you're like 10 episodes then. It gets really messed up.
I think episode 16 is when things start to get really nuts.

I'm planning on watching all of it, series and movies, warts and all. I know episodes 25 and 26 are basically trash.

I've started reading the Made in Abyss manga instead. The fething disgusting lolli obsession of the author aside.. it's a really fethed up setting.

The frequent nudity and discussions of genitalia by the children is a bit off putting, but hasn't really gotten me too bothered because of how casual and generally non-sexualized they are about it. The robot's the only one who really seems bothered by it generally.

The punishment the children receive for disobedience or the like is just fethed up and perverted in my opinion.

Watched a few episodes of Princess Principal. It's really fun if you like cute girls doing badass things and being spies in a steampunk alternative history version of an early 20th century divided England. The animation and story are also done quite well.

I guess we have very different ideas of what Fanservice is. If it was like DxD I'd agree with you, but it's nowhere close to being "fanservice" imho.

If it's making people uncomfortable, I wouldn't call it fan service. Fan service is cheesy/embarrassing, but what we're talking about here is born more from disgust than shame

Which honestly seems to be the point.

It was a stand alone production that borrows elements from the manga, so doubt it.

For the record, the second half of the first season of Little Witch Academia is on Netflix.

IMHO The LWA series misses the point. It's got worse animation, worse pacing and worse characterisation.

I mean, the worse animation is a given. It's a series, rather than an OVA.

Pacing and characterization...maybe? I've not seen the whole thing, but I'm wondering if they're trying to set it up for a full run- maybe even a long-running show if possible. And for that you need to leave things... open. Loose.

I do recall hearing about a second season in the works (not the one Netflix released but a real one.)

In other news, Gamers has piqued my interest.

I picked up Gamers!, and it's been throwing curveballs left and right. It's basically the trope of "This problem could be solved if anyone actually talked to each other" taken to 11, with the characters actively sabotaging themselves and making things worse through various misunderstandings.
