I did not see that coming. That ending to episode 12 wasn't bittersweet, it wasn't melodramatic, it was pure, unadulterated depression fuel of the highest calibre. Bait and Switch of the purest form!
The ending of episode 13 was nice and bittersweet, but that episode 12 really crushed me on an emotional level.

Darling in the Franxx episode 12. Wowie zowie what a load of drama and fanservice. I loved it start to finish. The only negative thing is the little exposition dump in the 30s conversation with a staff person.

Then comes along the frakking Spinosaurus who kills the T-rex, and the movie says "LOVE THIS NOW! HE IS BETTER" But...in your heart, you love the T-rex, who shouldn't have lost to no stupid Spinosaurus. So you hate the movie. And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

I haven't read/seen it but know of it. That's child's play compared to what the strawberry thief did.

The series has really improved now that things are actually moving forward and we get more context. There are some things in the early episodes that'll probably make more sense in a second viewing but for a first time viewer the start was just a bit bumpy.
You know what the big problem with Anime is? I can't have it on in the background like youtube or twitch. But equally who want's to watch dubs? A real Catch 22.

It is a visual medium. As for dubs it depends on the dub. Some are good and some are bad. Like FMA, the original Japanese actors are awful sounding while the dub is amazing.

Overlord is also done for now, with a wonderful magnificent bastard moment courtesy of Demiurg who once again manages to be such a clever bastard and outright evil at the same time.
Also quite liked the "battle" between Narberal and the other maids. We also finally got to see Delta in action.

Spoiler:
Yes, that was an assault rifle she was using!
Which may explain Yygdrasil's death. I mean, think about it; in universe she's a character from a fantasy game. Meaning that the fantasy game she's from has androids using high tech assault rifles fighting along side liches and dragons. I'm pretty sure that's a sign of a dying MMO. If you start adding sci-fi stuff to a fantasy game, then you have run out of ideas.... Or trying really hard to ape Warhammer, but I have yet to see a walking cathedral

Actually, all the guardians and NPC's of the Grest Tomb have been created by the members of the guild, as a reward to them from the game devs as they were the first to not only raid the Great Tomb, but also claim it for their selves. It was still very much a fantasy game, but the one responsible for creating Delta managed to create an android somehow as a special monster type.
Clostest thing to a walking cathedral would be the massive walking mountain that tossed the rock during the lizardmen arc, which is another gift from the devs to the guild, an extra reward for clearing the raid in record time IIRC.
Each player created his or her own guardians and whatnot, which explains why there's so much diversity between the maids and the level guardians, not to mention the animosity some of the guardians have towards one another. The guardians though were made to keep raiding parties busy until the guild itself could set up the final defences in the throne room, where they would have their last stand in honour of enemy raiders. Seeing as this never happened..

Ah, that would explain it then. Its not a default feature but something personally crafted as a reward. That makes sense.
I do wonder who Ainz's nemesis would be though. Atm he's just curb stomping everything. I was hoping for a civil war, but it seems the minions are just that loyal.

So here's a question: What do you call animation from other countries other than Japan? Is it just Cartoons? Animation? Is any non-America's/English animation 'anime'? Like, France has been showing some stellar stuff lately.
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.
If yer an Ork, why dont ya WAAAGH!!

Anime is a very broad art style which originated in, but is not unique to, Japan. Some people misguidedly try to claim that Anime is only Anime if it comes from Japan/Japanese artists, but this simply can't be true. Art styles can be replicated anywhere by anybody with the skill to do it.
One example of non-Japanese anime. Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Hrm... See, I'd almost be willing to call Anime and Cartoons different genre. Like, Anime is an animated serial that has an ongoing plotline and dynamic characters (that is, characters who change over the course of the series), whereas a Cartoon would be an episodic status-quo hijinks-driven show.

Looks interesting. Never heard of it before though.

Despite the sometimes graphic nature, I enjoy reading it, as it is about someone who just hunts goblins with a single-minded hatred and nothing else in a world where hunting goblins is about as glamorous as taking out the trash.
There is also an ongoing prequel manga that shows his origins indepth and his first steps into becoming the nightmare he is in the main story.

So its sort of similar to Berserk in terms of feel and tone?

Thats only if you take Cartoons to mean stuff like Loony Toons slapstick, which I think is incorrect. Any animated movie or show would be a cartoon. It would include everything from the old Batman to Bugs Bunny, as well as all the Disney animated features like Cinderella.
Cartoons would be the overarching classification of all Animated Movies/TV shows using hand drawn stills(be they on paper or on a computer). That would be the overall Artform. An equivalently broad artform would be Live Action Movies or Oil panting just to give an idea of the scale.
Cartoons would then be divided into various artistic variations and then each of those will have genres.
Anime would be an artistic variation. All anime share a few specific traits which are unique to this type of cartoon. One trait that could be classified as unique to anime vs many other cartoons is that there tends to be more facial detail and complexity, the "Big eyes" associated with anime characters is part of this. Most cartoon characters have large eyes to make facial expressions more easily understood, but Anime tends to take it to the next level. While a cartoon like Bugs Bunny or Batman will typically reduce an Eye to only to a white shape with a pupil that may or may not be colored, along with a simple eyebrow. Anime tends to add more detail to the eye by differentiating between the Pupil and Retina, even going as far as to add reflections on occasion.

Having read the four light novels on itunes, i hope you like young ladies pissing themselves in fear.
once you get past the opening of the first book it is all pretty mild. I imagine the elf fortress from the second book is worse in the manga. The fourth book has a brief scene as well. Maybe its all mild compared to the first book, now that i think about it.

Yeah those scenes, at least repeated viewings of those scenes aren't really necissary. I can get having the intro one and then mentioning it to help reinforce how awful they are. But yeah things in particular can be fairly graphic and Year One certainly doesnt hold back much.
Yeah, the training is pretty intense. That, plus seeing him learn in the field is really cool. Much like with Batman Year One and Batgirl Year One, I love seeing the development into the character as we know him.
I would think the new update will be sometime in the middle of the month. Priest Girl and GS himself are the best part of the party, but the others have grown on me. (Cow girl best girl though)
Spoiler:
Her arm or shoulder yeah, not having read or really known about the light novels I wasnt expecting that. But GS looks like he's getting his second wind.

See, 'cartoon' to me does mean everything from Bugs Bunny to Disney shorts.
The "overall artform" that encompasses hand-drawn frame-by-frame is "Traditional Animation", while Flash is "2D Computer Animation", there's also "Stop Motion Animation" and "3D Computer Animation", which can each be used for any genre- they're media rather than ideals. I can definitely see where you're coming from, though.
However, by your definition, wouldn't stuff like Shin-Chan and Doraemon be considered "Cartoons", then?

Had to look those two up since I hadn't heard of them. They are a little simpler than many Anime, but I think they still fall into it as a specific artform. What I was saying in my post earlier was that Anime are a specific art style of Cartoon.
IE: All Anime are Cartoons while not all Cartoons are Anime.
