Fast Anime - Film, Television and Music

I finished Touch. 8/10 I enjoyed it, it's something I really would have loved if I were still a teen, it's a very wholesome sports anime. I was being objective in my rating, if I had to go off how I personally enjoyed it it wouldn't be an 8/10 I'm not exactly the demographic for the show, though I love sports anime. I'd always thought of baseball as boring af, I still wouldn't watch it but now I can see the appeal. I'm going to watch Ace of the Diamond now. [editline]29th May 2017[/editline] I also forgot to cancel my trial and now have another month of Crunchyroll. I've used Crunchyroll for My Hero Academia and Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation releases and for Jojo. Can't find much else I like on it.

[/QUOTE] I'd recommend watching Major if you want to see a baseball anime that covers a person's entire career from childhood to the Major League

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm liking Ace of the Diamond for now, might check out those after if I'm not burnt out on baseball. I really like sports anime but I'm starting to run out, Yowamushi pedal once a week isn't enough. I really like gambling/board game ones too, like Akagi and Hikaru no Go.

Watched 2 episodes of Kado the Right Answer. Why is so much of the starting plot is pointless and why does it go stupid with CGI?

[QUOTE=gufu;52290148]Watched 2 episodes of Kado the Right Answer. Why is so much of the starting plot is pointless and why does it go stupid with CGI?[/QUOTE] The whole show is cg [editline]30th May 2017[/editline] And what do you mean pointless

What do you guys here think of that? Death Note movie by Netflix... [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS9UW2xjdqE[/url]

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;52290201]The whole show is cg [editline]30th May 2017[/editline] And what do you mean pointless[/QUOTE] I'm rather sure there has been traditional animation here and there. The CGI is usually in terrible 12FPS. And first episode is rather pointless and shows very little of main character, shows us ones that don't do much of anything. And entire second episode could have been a 5-minute scene of everyone panicking. Also having the Tank fire "AP" at full speed, for... reasons?

Berserk has traditional animation in it too sometimes (you notice it right away because of how superior it looks to the god awful cgi they use) [editline]30th May 2017[/editline] I was recommended Nichijou by a friend. Should I watch it?

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;52290348] I was recommended Nichijou by a friend. Should I watch it?[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=Crimor;52280606]Started watching Shingeki no Bahamut on a whim, just got done with the first episode and I already love the red fro dude.[/QUOTE] I really liked this show because it wasn't a way for the company to market their games and attempt to get more money. Instead they made solid characters, an interesting story, and had great animations. [QUOTE=Gnime;52281407]Watched BLAME! on Netflix yesterday, without any prior knowledge about it, seemed pretty decent, although the story progressed very quickly.[/QUOTE] I watched it a few days ago and liked it, but wished the studio chose Biomega instead for the bear scene.

It's meant to be optional, so it's "pointless" by design. The first episode is supposed to be about how everybody reacts to the cube. I don't think there's any pacing issues aside from "i don't care i want to see inside the cube", in which case you can just watch the second episode since you don't have to wait a week or anything at this point. The CGI seems pretty pointless for the first handful of episodes, but the decision to make the main characters be animated in 3D most of the time becomes increasingly justified as the show goes on.

[QUOTE=gufu;52290290] Also having the Tank fire "AP" at full speed, for... reasons?[/QUOTE] There was every reason to assume it could've reflected right back at the tank.

[QUOTE=PunchMan;52290253]What do you guys here think of that? Death Note movie by Netflix... [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS9UW2xjdqE[/url][/QUOTE] Little late on posting the trailer. I'm hoping that Willem Dafoe adds enough cheese that i tolerate my way through it.

Damn dude, the audio sound effects and music in this episode of SnK was directed so well, it's almost magnificent and just nails the atmosphere so perfectly.

[QUOTE=Warriorx4;52282285]Yeah there should've been at least 10 or 15 more minutes of time in the settlement. Like seeing Tae visit her sister, seeing Fusata interact with Tae more, etc. You should check out the manga.[/QUOTE] Definitely going to give it a shot! Thanks man.

[QUOTE=maxumym;52290427]There was every reason to assume it could've reflected right back at the tank.[/QUOTE] Considering that everything else just kinda feel down following the basic logic behind geometry, that was still very silly. They could have just gone to a safe distance, instead.

So I just finished with my college recently and realized it's been a while since I watched some animu. I decided to marathon Boku no Hero Academia and catch up to the current season. I have only one thing to say. [video=youtube;8HNhe9AEL3o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HNhe9AEL3o[/video] [editline]31st May 2017[/editline] All Might and his Japanese and English VA are treasures.

Knights Of Sidonia: Season one was good, I liked Lala Hiyama a lot so episode 8 was my favorite. Second season was alright and the battles was cool too. if only I can forget all about that Happy Tentacle Girl's adventure. I feel like half of the season is about that ~kawaii~ Tentacle Girl having tea time with her friends while talking about their feelings. I was hoping that she die at the end but no, she'll lived another day in season 3 I guess. I hope she die in season 3 and replace it with a talking bear.

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;52302563]Wait, Lupin's name is pronounced Lu-pawn? :huh:[/QUOTE] Yes. Just like Leblanc has a silent C and Arsene is similar to Arson.

Small question for anyone that watched and read koe no katachi, is the movie ending the same as the manga ending or is there more afterwards?

I heard the Manga ending is different. Actually I've heard that the dynamic between characters is different.

[QUOTE=NotMeh;52299892]ah yes fuck characterization and who needs premise and setting establishment anyway?[/QUOTE] Modern day Tokyo. Every character who is not your generic middle-aged adult is annoying. I'm not saying that the series is bad per say (I only seen 2 episodes), but there really isn't any strong build up at all. Maybe it's just me, but the appearance of the DESCENDING CUBE did nothing for me in regards to interest.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;52304602]I heard the Manga ending is different. Actually I've heard that the dynamic between characters is different.[/QUOTE] There's a whole subplot that was left out from the manga that left a lot of characters feeling really underdeveloped. It's a bit of a shame but for a movie that's already clocking in at 2 hours and 10 minutes it's hard to fault them for it. I still enjoyed it a lot, but people that haven't read the manga would probably find aspects of the story somewhat lacking.

Perhaps you should watch episode 2 and see what's inside the cube before complaining.

[QUOTE=Reds;52305979]You have essentially only watched the first episode. Perhaps you should watch episode 2 and see what's inside the cube before complaining.[/QUOTE] Then why didn't they make episode 2 THE EPISODE 2? And even then, a show should be able to hook you on episode 1.
