Oh god no, the guy from the second arc is in the anime's opening. Ruined
[QUOTE=Trixil;52166961]i just watched kimi no na wa, and holy fucking shit dude, what a great movie. i went with my dad and, at the start, i was so embarrassed because of the girl grabbing her tits while her sister was watching at the very beginning of the movie all while i am able to see my father's judging face in my peripheral vision. so embarrassing. i don't want to know how it feels to go to the movie theater to watch a movie that your son wanted to watch and the first thing you see is that. but here's the most important part:
my dad really, really, [B]REALLY[/B] enjoyed it. he said he enjoyed every single bit of it. he even implied it was one of the, if not [I]the[/I], best movie he has ever watched. and he has watched a [I]lot[/I] of movies, mostly bollywood movies. after it was finished, i asked him, "so do you like anime girls now?" after he expressed his joy for the movie. he replied, "yes, but other than that..." my curiosity turned my father into a weeb now. excellent.
onto the movie; the story was very complex. when i arrived home afterward, i immediately googled an explanation for the story because i was desperate to understand the story because i felt the movie would be so much better if i understood it. even without understanding several confusing aspects of the plot, i could already give the movie at least an 8. it's that good. i [I]think[/I] i understand the whole plot now, but i'm not sure. i will know for sure if i rewatch the movie. right now, kimi no na wa is at either a 9 or a 10. i suspect rewatching the movie will turn that 9 into a 10 to clarify on the confusing parts of the story. really really great movie either way. i understand that a lot of people in fa think the movie is garbage, but as the saying goes: i have shit taste so all my opinions are invalid.
edit: couple kimi no na wa with 10/10 music and it's my favorite movie ever, even better than interstellar.[/QUOTE]
you did good son
[QUOTE=Reds;52167797]ReCreators kind of forgot that you're supposed to make your characters interesting and engaging before having an entire episode of non-stop exposition dumping, twelve or so minutes of which is one character talking nearly uninterrupted.
You could've shortened that speech to two or three minutes and lost nothing.[/QUOTE]
This is the problem I have with stories like Re:Creators where fiction is forced to the real world and values like "I was written well c:" grow prominent. They very easily and very quickly get up their own ass and it all feels so contrived, especially when the writing or even pacing aren't very good. The only part of the show I've actually really liked so far was the magical girl who can't mentally deal with the consequences of her actions due to real world physics. She's the only character that really feels like they have any internal conflict going on; they tried to express this with library-whatsherface, but they never even show her struggling with accepting her identity. What tries to be a satisfying resolution to a character's issues becomes a flat half-episode long monologue that we don't care about because they never even tried to give us an emotional connection to her.
The show's largest issue is that all the main characters go "oh yeah, your [fiction] is really good and tons of people love it," then present us with bland, horribly uninspired characters that feel and look like they were given a few minutes of thought before popped out. Heck, generic character designs and whatnot could even be turned into a commentary on the state of anime and LN stuff, but the writers don't seem smart enough to have the self-awareness needed for such a concept.
Why do they all have the same faces?
Also, Belladonna of Sadness looks tripy as hell.

All of the concepts are addressed at such a shallow level by bland characters that it falls completely flat whenever they touch the surface. If the point was to have the contrast and conflicting genres and ideals of various fictional characters, then they maybe should have started by not having team main-characters be generic fantasy LN lead and miss exposition, both from fantasy settings who show neither personality nor conflict. So you've deliberately squandered the basis of your premise right out of the gate.
The biggest problem on top of the characters severely lacking in personality or doing anything remotely interesting with its premise is the fact that it dedicates a lot of time to characters sitting around talking, but fails to have any meaningful interactions or actual character development which makes the pacing both glacial and poorly used. The barest hint of decent interactions and the contrast between ideals and perspectives was between not-Saber and the magical girl, and that was two minutes of the episode while Meteora talked for twelve minutes straight to convey maybe a minute's worth of information.
It's such a shallow handling of a concept that should be easy to at the very least make colourful. You'd think a show like this would be trying too hard, not not trying hard enough.

The style of Stardust Crusaders isn't as engaging as the first two arcs. It doesn't seem as JoJo, if that makes sense. I could be wrong, I'm only on the third episode.

stardust crusaders is a lot slower and more monster of the weeky than part 1 and part 2, it's kind of the awkward transition period between hamon and stands
it gets better as it goes on though and part 4's anime has much faster pacing
Tokyo Tosho was down for a while yesterday too.

I think it was just the big increase of traffic, it's back now but sometimes slow.

the loss of sukebei is hitting me harder than the fact that i failed a class
Following a trend of being late to watch everything, the boyfriend and I started Kobayashi last night, only watched the first two episodes though. Seems fun enough. I'm more one for actiony stuff, but I think I'll like it.
And I got my parents, or at least my mother, watching Youjo Senki since she's even more just about action stuff.
[editline]2nd May 2017[/editline]
I also showed her Youjo Shenki, and she started to get mad because she thought I was going to play ones for episodes she hadn't seen yet.
While I'm still enjoying the prison school Manga I'm really unsure where it's gonna go [sp] now that the prison blew up [/sp] (major spoilers)

Oh

[sp]wasn't the girls in prison for a while tho or was that before
Either way, the main focus of the Manga is gone [/sp]

The sports festival arc lasted forever so i forgot everything that happened before it
The sports festival arc of Prison School dragged on way longer than it should've.
Just finished the Labyrinth of Grisaia VN, so I figured I'd watch the anime. At least up to where it starts going into Eden, as I'm waiting for the full VN release of that.
Anyways, this is the first 30 seconds of episode 2.

[sp]It caught me so off guard, holy shit.[/sp]
grisaia is so shit it's godlike, like gaddamn
I don't know what that actually is, but the first shot of the cabin and the kid with the black hair made me think of a certain cabin in a certain anime set inside a VR MMO. Uhhg.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52182150]grisaia is so shit it's godlike, like gaddamn[/QUOTE]
grisaia is fine
the anime adaptation for kaijitsu aint
So yeah, Kobayashi, Episode 6, Kanna. Well. I actually am at a loss for words.
But seriously, I'm incredibly surprised how much I'm enjoying this. Its fucking adorable.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;52182150]grisaia is so shit it's godlike, like gaddamn[/QUOTE]
Grisaia anime is kinda eh, but at least it explained that comon route.
VN is some good shit, though.
Still not sure if I should watch Grisaia S2.
So I just binged something I had no reason to be interested in or to watch in the first place, and now I'm upset that its over.
I think I may need to pick up the manga for Kobayashi's Dragon Maid at some point.
Also, just thinking, the last time I had any interest in anime was about ten years ago, and even then I'd never have imagined I'd fall in love with an anime about highschool girls driving tanks or one about the life of a woman and her maid who is a dragon. The last like four months I've gone all in though, watching a lot of different anime and reading manga again and going to a convention and spending far too much money on figures. Hell, I even went with the boyfriend to pick up a wall shelf and spent an hour putting it up myself just so I had a place to keep this slowly growing collection. No idea what changed, but I'm not complaining. Now I just need something else to watch.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;52184131]-Kobayashi Binged-[/QUOTE]
Yeah the manga is definitely worth picking up. Some minor things are different between them and the anime doesn't chronologically follow the manga.
Also Oppai loli.
