I think my favorite part was the short bit with Herr Doctor and the Major.

"Our men are being slaughtered."
"Who cares? They're fething nazis."

I stared at the screen for about fives seconds and then hacked up my drink and couldn't stop laughing. I don't even know why it was so funny. The delivery was just flawless.

What's funny is that its actually pretty spot on;
So yeah "who cares" is pretty accurate concerning his character.
It was great seeing Anderson too. I liked him in the anime and I like him in the abridged series. My favorite line from him has to be "you don't have to follow orders if your boss is being a daft witch"

And then when his subordinates come back and shoot the line right back at him and you can hear Alucard screaming off screen "oh sassy! I like her!"

TFS is a good crew, but the long waits do kill it in some cases. Episode 8 was okay, but not good. Though I did enjoy the polite and soft spoken Dracula as opposed to the coarse Alucard.

Also, not sure what kind of drama is going on right now, but it's going to be a long wait until the next DBZA.

Toei seems to have taken up TFS reaction to a cease and desist order at a con two or three months back rather harshly and is jumping down their throats about it.

Another good example of bad PR I think but it also just convinces me more that current IP law is archaic and overly restrictive.

I'm personally loving Bleach Abridged- I mean, if there was ever a show that needed an Abridged series, it was Bleach. Sadly, BlazingAzureCrow seems to be having issues with copyright. They do an awesome Digimon Adventures Abridged as well.

Hearing a new dub cast for the Gundam Seed HD remaster is going to be weird.

Really? I always though Gundam Seed had one of the better dubs. Not perfect by any means, but it wasn't terrible. At least the actors tried putting some emotion and emphasis into their lines.

Watched some of Ajin, holy crap the english voice acting is...beyond terrible, it sounded like they literally had bots doing half the voices. Beyond that though its interesting.

Made in Abyss was...excellent. That got....reallllllllllll dark, particularly so for a show centered around little kids. That was the first show Ive had a hard time watching because of content in a loooong while.

Really happy that 3-gatsu no Lion is back on again, I needs my slice of life shows!

Might as well do a small rundown of what I've seen this season --

Black Clover - Shounen crap with an exceedingly annoying main character. If earrape is your favorite type of voice acting, then by all means have a gander. Dropped after one episode

Ousama Game - More trash, this time of the horror variety. It has like, all of the worse aspects of a horror. Torture/Gore porn? Check. A nonsensical antagonistic force that causes bs to happen? Check. nearly every single character being an irrational and overall unlikable waste of skin, thus undermining whatever dramatic impact their deaths might have held? Check. Higurashi did this sort of thing way better. It actually made sense, the characters had at least a pint of charisma, and the fethed up bits were juxtaposed to light bits, thus providing a contrast instead of an endless stream of misery.

Inuyashiki - Not a bad start, actually. Its about a 58 year old man who looks 70 and has like, the worse luck ever. Then aliens happened and replaced everything in his body with a weapons system, becoming something of a hero I guess. The CGI was a little jarring, but that's in short supply, thankfully. I kind of want to see where this goes.

Girl's Last Tour - Slice of Life anime about 2 girls traversing a wartorn winter wasteland. Not as dark as made in abyss, but I have a feeling that it's going to get very depressing later on. For now its pretty cutesy.

Dies Irae - Its uh...well, the aesthetic designs for some characters / places look pretty cool. Like there's one place that looks like its straight out of the Imperium of Man. In terms of story though...well, its either going to be absolute crap, amazing, or amazingly crap to the point of being enjoyable to watch. Also Nazis. Possibly of the Thule society type.

I've downloaded a crapton of stuff I'm going to watch when I feel like it and proceed from there.

Right, this:



Short and silly, so neither a waste of time, nor wearing out its welcome.

Yeah its a fairly decent dub, especially compared to some of the horrors of other Gundam shows



I guess there's some re-editing going on along with the HD master so they figured it was just as easy to re do the dub then try and make the old one fit.

I always watched in utter confusion of the Gundam 00 Dub, where Setsuna is voiced by someone who sounds like an old man, and Aeolia Schenberg was voiced by someone who sounds like a little kid.

Like wtf. You had a young kid, and an old man and what did you guys flip them each the wrong script?

just purchased the Hellsing classic anime series. Havent watched it since I was young, looking forward to watching it all the way through.

I remember it, but after having seen Ultimate it hasn't aged well for me.

It's a congruent story so I have to watch classic before jumping into Ultimate

Honestly? I like Hellsing Original better than Ultimate. The animation and cinematography is better, I think, and instead of going Shonen Action with ~~NAZIIIIIS~~ brings in even darker and more mysterious characters.

Tsuredure Children is cure, adorable and hilarious. 12 episodes of 12 min, go watch it.

Junni Taisen is boring and predictable.

I’ve enjoyed the return of Blood Blockade’s absurd action packed episodes.

Little Busters VN is out on Steam, so going to try and plow through the first season (can’t find Refrain on ITunes).

I have seen the first Haven's Feel movie. It was awesome.



In non spoiler news, I'm enjoying Magus Bride. Very pretty and deep without being depressing.

Okay, time to restart the Anime discussion. Apoligies if this should really be a new thread, but since it was still on page one of the forum.....

2017 is done and the 2018 Winter season is underway. Anything stand out to you in 2017 and what are you looking forward to most in 2018?

For me Youjo Senki was my favorite, and Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon was my personal surprise of the year. Houseki no Kuni gets special mention for being not only a good show, but probably the best use of CGI I have seen in a TV seris. No seriously, it was great CGI! My other recommendations and personal likes from 2017 are Made in Abyss, Konosuba 2nd season, Re:Creators, 3-gatsu no Lion, Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e, Little Witch Acadamia, and ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka. Looking back I would say Winter 2017 had the most standout shows for me.

There were others I watched and more or less enjoyed, but these are the shows that I would watch as soon as the episode was available and would recommend in a heartbeat to anyone.

As for 2018 Winter, shows on my early watch list are;

Overlord S2
Darling in the FranXX

I would put Violet Evergarden on that list, but since it want officially debut in the US until Spring 2018 (I hate anime on Netflix), I won't include it.

Yep thats it. Nothing else is really sticking out as must see this season. I am sure I will "find" some other shows to watch, but my expectations are low. Is there anything you think I am overlooking or would suggest I check out? Come on Dakka Dakka

Where are the Heaven's Feel movies coming out? Can I watch on Crunchyroll?

I doubt they'll be on Crunchy roll. The first of the films aired in Japan in October. It was originally planned for US release in November (EDIT: Apparently did get a limited theater release Nov 3), but that got pushed back to December and then didn't happen... And no I don't know. International release has been continually pushed back, but only a few countries have loose dates for the release (and the US isn't one of them). EDIT: Basically I wouldn't expect anything for a few months to maybe a year? Type-moon is notoriously fickle with international releases (like seriously we have maybe 50% if that of the Fate Franchise actually having been officially released outside Japan, less if we expand to the entire Nasuverse). I won't be shocked if we see the anime adaptation of Fate/Extra before we see Heaven's Feel so bright side Nero?

I finally started watching Cowboy Bebop. I know I suck.

This season I'm watching Laid Back Camp so far, which is pretty fun and probably going to be my relaxing anime this season.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will be sure to check it out.

My current picks for this season are, though this can be subject to change:

Basilisk
Kokkoku
Overlord S2
Pop Team Epic
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
Yuru Camp

I have high hopes for Yuru Camp, which looks to be a nice slice of life thing paired with insight on how to camp. Overlord 2 will also be fun, I'm reading the manga but the anime will be fun as well for sure. Odd one out is Pop Team Epic for me, which is a bit hit and miss for me, but interesting enough for me to see if it can keep itself fresh enough.

Oh, cool, Overlord's continuing! That show's got such potential, I think, for some intriguing storytelling. Especially interesting will be how Ainz' servants will react once they realize their master is a "Nice Guy"- or if they'll manage to push his morals down.
