I love the world building and visuals are SIIIICK

I've been waiting for the bunny to show up. Really curious about the sapient non-human inhabitants of the abyss.

Yeah, that what makes it great. Madoka does the same thing.

n 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.

It's like if Shakespeare was a gamer

Im watching "A Centaurs Life" for some reason, it its a fun show to watch.

It has it's really specifically funny details (how do glasses stay up if you don't have human ears, how do certain clothes work,…) in addition to regular funny moments. Then there's the more serious social commentary that gets just thrown in (also certain more authoritarian bits and pieces) and this feeling that something happened in the history of this world. The last episode had an actually really nice and simplified explanation of how art developed during the 20th century, and the one before that had that "drastic scene transition" that made sense in the end but where you feel in the moment like somebody spliced the wrong clip into the second half of the episode.

It's comedy/slice-of-life for the most part but also sometimes just odd and even really serious and I quite like this combination.

I haven't watched much anime in a while but i heard 'gamers' was good and i watched a bit of one today that looked really amazing. I think the good anime was called 'I can't understand what my husband is saying'. It's about a woman and her otaku husband. I may have to watch it in its entirety at some point.

"I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying" is good stuff and easy to watch, you'll burn through it in no time, as each episode is only around three minutes in length.

Not sure what to look forward to myself with the new season almost here, Sakura Quest and New Game!! are (almost) over now and the only thing that caught my eye for the new season is the second season of 3-gatsu no Lion.

There's also the Godzilla CGI movie and another Girls und Panzer movie coming, but those are still some ways off sadly.

.......That was a weird "A Centaurs Life"
Racism, Halocaust, Nazi Centaurs.
I got into this for sexy monster girls......

At the end of the episode it makes sense but the initial transition into that bit feels like they spliced two completely different shows together.

The cute monstergirls are why I like this......not bad social commentary.

Made In Abyss:
I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying is legitimately one of the best anime ever created imho.

Any want a Toberone ?

The fifth part of Gundam the Origin was released recently and there's also a series of animated Blade Runner shorts ("Blade Runner Black Out 2022"), of which the first episode has been released just now.

Jaden Smith anime is the best anime.

It really isn't. It's on the level of the Holywood Remake of Ghost in the Shell or Ghostbusters.

Also, apparently Your Name is getting a Holywood remake.

Should I jump now or after breakfast?

It is the best, you're just jealous of it's terrible genius. Have a Toblerone...

I was under the impression that Blackout 2022 was the only animated Blade Runner short. It doesn't exactly leave much room for a continuing plot.

I caught Origin 5. I was kind of hoping for a Shiro Amada cameo during Operation British. I thought Zeon had gassed more than just the one colony, too. I was also hoping to see more of the actual battle at Loum, but I guess they ended it the way they did to tie back into the first episode. Here's to hoping that we get a proper Origin TV series/0079 remake.

Yeah, I checked and Blackout is the only animated short, muh buhd.

As for the Origin.. it was just brutal. Gassing an entire colony as an "act of mercy", damned brutal. Then the whole colony drop, which did not go as planned either, but still wiped out half of the earth population.

"If we fail here, we'll all be tried as war criminals" is some motivation to keep on fighting alright.

Made in Abyss had it's double length finale.

Excellent show but not for the faint of heart. I really, REALLY hope some of the idiots in upper management accidentally have a unique thought episode and commission a season 2 because Made in Abyss is one of the shining examples of why animation can be so powerful and beautiful. If this turns out to be another Spice And Wolf like situation I will be extremely upset.

But instead we have more SAO gak because edgy pre-teens apparently have all the disposable income in the world. Makes me genuinely angry and upset at the state of things.

Cannot agree more about Made in Abyss. Powerful ending. The show had great animation, above par world building, and a story that just kept sucking you in. By the way, the animation style seemed similar to Oban Star Racers. Did anybody else think so?

Easily my top show of the season.

Princess Principal was probably my number two.

A lot of other stuff was pretty meh.

Kind of apprehensive about the upcoming season.

I've been meaning to watch Princess Principal but was waiting for it to finish airing. Good to know it's good.

To be fair though, it seems to have that similar abridged show charm the Ghost Stories dub had.

Difference is one was intended as a piss-take, the other is sincere.

The first Heaven's Feel movie is coming to American theaters, and I already have my ticket.

This will be the first movie I've seen theatrically since... I wanna say Chamber of Secrets, though I THINK I saw Prisoner of Azkaban in theater....

Wait, first Heaven's Feel movie? As in, Fate/Stay Heaven's Feel? It's a movie? I thought it was going to be another series.

A Silent Voice is showing in US cinemas too, very powerful film

So did I but I guess its a movie. Shame. It had probably the most complex plot of all the routes. I don't know how well it'll fit into films.

Hey man. If they hadn't made SAO, we wouldn't have the Abridged Series and the SAO Abridged is my favorite Abridged series!

Yeah, the abridged series is pretty good. Probably one of the better ones in a sea of mediocrity.

By and large I think the only truly good Abridged Series are DBZA, Hellsing Abridged*, and Sword Art Online Abridged. EDIT: And among those I honestly think SAOA is the one that actually manages to stand head and shoulders over its source material. It maintains the same plot, the same basic characters, and it's just better in every way which I think says a lot about how mediocre SAO really is XD Unlimited Bladeworks Abridged by Blazing Azure Crow is also good so far but there's only two episodes at the moment. Other than that I find most abridged series to either be unfunny, bad, or start off good but go unfinished or loose their momentum because the person(s) making it ran out of steam. None Piece is a good example, cause PurpleEyesWTF seemed to lose his inspiration and enthusiasm for the series rather quickly.

While I give a lot of credit to Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged for kicking off the genre, I haven't found it to be funny for a long time. Indeed Little Kuriboh seemed to realize in Season 3 and outright admit that the whole thing had become tired and repetitive, but people still watch it so he keeps making new episodes. It's not that it's bad it's just not particularly well refined and I feel like his lack of enthusiasm comes of in the series.

*Episode 8 just came out btw, and while not as funny as usual it manages to touch a shocking number of dramatic notes...



As if that moment wasn't sad enough in the original series...

That was a good scene in Hellsing abridged. Alucard's entrance was great as well *Ready to Die plays*
