One thing about that death was how it jarred with the flavor of the anime. You start with a cartoony look, slapsticky characters, and feel-good “fighting spirit, you can do it if you try!” expecting a light hearted romp. Then *BLAM* now we’re talking about dealing with loss, picking up the pieces after a tragedy, etc.

I liked the series, but kept asking myself what demographic they were aiming for.

The anime is 1 year shy of being a decade old. I might go shorter than 5 years but there comes a point regardless where people just no longer have any reasonable expectation to be protected from spoilers. EDIT: Honestly this entire thread should be carried with an underlying assumption that there will be spoilers XD

I actually rather like it (more than other trapped in a game animes). The goblins have actual character which is interesting, the art is lovely, and the main party has a nice chemistry. That being said, it is going hella slow and they really need to pick up the pace or even I'm gonna get bored XD

What you are saying is the GM needs to railroad them a little bit right

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

Dammit, for some reason now I want to rewatch crime dramas and add a commentary track as if it was an RPG.

Erased is one of the best things I have seen if you are into "Mystery" with awesome characters to boot. I'm resisting so much not to read the manga too. It should be illegal to end episodes as they are.

I watched the first 2 eps and stopped. Way too many cliffhangers. I will binge this when it's done.

The newest season of Gate is pretty interesting.

They stepped up the drama, politics and world building.

Is that even a question?

Spoiler:
I'll be amazed if he isn't saved by the amazing Japanese medicine.

That said, it would let the new king pick a fight with Japan and we'd get to see the amazing Japanese fighting prowess again.

There's another season of Gate? That was quick.

Has the UN gotten involved yet? You'd think they would be all over a portal into another world, due to pressure from its members.
