[QUOTE=Taggart;47409530]The "I guess" isn't saying "I guess they're ecchi", it's saying "I guess I'll recommend them too", because they are honestly rather meh. I know pretty well that they're ecchi as fuck.[/QUOTE]
Thank God, I was worried for a moment there.

I feel like the final Death Parade episode was setting up a second season with that ending.
It concluded the main character's arcs while poking at unresolved conflicts.
[QUOTE=Kidd;47409540]Thanks dgg. Make sure to add your ecchi list to the next OP. :rolleyes:

nop taht doesnt even have poope in it
That new chapter of Vinland Saga was real cool.
Between that and a new chapter of [sp]Monster Musume,[/sp] it's been a good week.
Just finished Tiger & Bunny, and I was wondering if they had plans for a sequel because there is still so many issues left unresolved. Does the 2nd movie talk about them or does it just continue the timeline?
Watched and finished Saekano. I don't say this often for romantic harem comedies (more like I avoid them like the plague ◕‿◕) but that was actually decent. I kinda regret not watching it when it was still airing, but at least I picked it up at the last second.

oh hey it has like 10k in bd sales, I want to believe.
Though I couldn't help but read LN spoilers and now I feel kinda empty on the inside.
I wish I started reading Prison School earlier this shit is amazing.
Yeah i haven't read much manga, but I really liked that one aside from some of the totally out of wack reactions to things that aren't a huge fuckin deal.
I also really like his art style. I am wondering if there is some sort of search engine that could suggest things based on artwork.

Asano Inio has a very similar style.
But he doesn't do comedy. At all.
Just finished Death Parade, definitely a worthy successor to Death Billiards. I'm satisfied, it was quite good.
[QUOTE=apurplerock;47408026]I liked it, but that ending was kinda disappointing
They built up this big world with many details and interesting looking characters, but hardly explained any of it. It was good, but felt kind of lacking in explanation[/QUOTE]
It's a 1-cour problem, pretty sure. Hopefully it'll get a sequel. Whether or not it does though I'm satisfied.
I just want more of that environment design, honestly.
[QUOTE=Garlickeh;47409247]parasyte was good but it definitely lost momentum in the second half
for the last few episodes i thought i was watching index
needed more kana and tamura

fuckin talk more shit about index lets see if i dont smack you across the face next time i see you
Death Parade was Death Parade/out. Shirobako was hallucinations/10. Here's hoping Shirobako has a second season with Tarou's glorious directorial debut.
and thus Garo the animation is done,it was a mix from extremely good episodes to extremely bad episodes. Now so see what they plan for season 2 and the movie

[video=youtube;txjJ4Z7zSkk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txjJ4Z7zSkk[/video]
Garo was more like it had a average-to-mediocre first season with a few high points (mostly surrounding alfonso and gaia), with a consistently really good second season.
Also we had a really high gore budget for the finale.
Apparently Steins;Gate is getting a sequel in the form of an VN and anime?

no thanks
as far as i'm concerned the story finished at the end of the ova

The OVA isn't technically canon considering it's not part of the Visual Novel, nor is the film.
[QUOTE=ashxu;47411683]no thanks

I prefer to think it ended after the VN because the ova isn't canon nor does it really add anything.

I thought the OVA was pretty meaningless fanservice, it's also the first part of the animated s;g that features "why is okabe's voice actor doing the completely wrong accent"
Stolen from Reddit.
Translation:
On Saturday the 28th of March, 2015, at Chiyomaru Shikura's "New Game Announcement Meeting in Twitcasting," a new game in the Steins;Gate series was announced. The title is "Steins;Gate Zero." The new title will depict one of the series' pre-existing worldlines, the Beta Worldline, thereby making the numbering appropriate. A drama CD and a novel in three parts will depict "one of the routes" in an edited format. Release date is unconfirmed.
Additional Information
Additionally, a "Steins;Gate Zero" anime has also been confirmed. This will also have a "follow-up report" to look forward to.
Sorry for the rushed translation.
[B]Death Parade[/B] was good and all, but I felt the surrounding setting was a bit eh. If they don't make a sequel then everything that happened outside of the two arbiters rooms were almost a complete waste of time. They helped explain why Decim was as he was, and then everything else was just a passive quarrel between the two, the questions they raised were raised through Decims actions anyways.
I felt Decims reactions in the final episode, whilst true to his character and knowledge, just didn't work out for me. It's like, yeah, it makes sense for him to have this strong emotional reaction to her decision and reasoning for it, but since it's such a natural and human reasoning it just becomes weird to see someone having such "I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE" reaction to it, because it's such an obvious answer.
It was a good emotional rollercoaster, although the name never made any sense in the end (the choice of parade) and the OP is still as unfitting to the mood and tone of the show as always. I just wish it was more mysterious and ambigious as the original OVA, it kinda suffered from a need to explain everything instead of letting the actions of arbiters and humans alike speak for themselves.
8/10
Why are the next two seasons so good
Maybe with all the natural disasters Japan finally decided to release everything great just in case
[B]Shirobako[/B] was a great love letter to the animation industry. I just wish her conflicting thoughts were presented more by having her think it rather than represented by two angel/devil-based mascots. The mascots weren't too much of a problem though, but they did get absurd in the final episode, waking her up. They also completely ruined the speech scene and donuts scene, the speech by having the spirits of the characters in the show appear and the same for the donuts scene plus the whole special effects explosion thing. Those kind of things are great visual aids in shows that are purely fictional, but in a show like Shirobako that tries to depict real life in an exaggerated way that only animation can, then it just ruins it for me. I can let the ridiculous driving and the director infiltrating the HQ in an absurd manner pass, because despite being unrealistic and dumb as fuck, there is nothing magical about it and it's representing real things, just completely unrealistically.
It was a good show with lots of lovely character interaction and I'd say it served as a good warning and welcome letter to anyone interested in working in the fields of animation whilst humoring anyone in it. Painting both the positive and negative aspects of creative work without making a real statement to either side, it just is what it is.

Well that's because [sp]Arbiters are supposed to be literally incapable of having that kind of emotional reaction, Arbiters might come to that conclusion but they aren't really capable of caring enough to get upset about it. Up until Chiyuki brought out his implanted human... emotions? Empathy? Whatever, he had a violent emotional reaction when it came crashing down on him. That's why his Arbiter eyes vanished while he was having it. You have a guy who has literally never gotten upset at his actions before experiencing it very violently for the first time. [/sp]
I think it makes sense anyway. The range of emotions that Arbiters can feel is a bit vague because they seem perfectly human right up until the part where they don't really care about how much suffering the people they judge go through.
[QUOTE=dgg;47411853]although the name never made any sense in the end (the choice of parade)[/QUOTE]
Corpse Party was already taken. Alternate titles proposed include Cessation Station, Carcass Festival, Expiration Sensation, Cadaver Jamboree, and Desfile de los Muertos.
I am so excited, I only discovered the Steins;Gate Epigraph Trilogy the other day so I didn't expect to hear of a VN or an anime adaption so soon, if at all.

I double explained that it was completely understandable that he reacted that way, not sure how you missed that, but it doesn't make it any less unfitting.

In other words, in a show about judging human souls and questioning what it means to live they had no fucking clue what to call it and just went "well, there is a bunch of dead people, so it's like a party".
The juxtaposition of the title + op to the shows contents is never present in the show at all, so I just really dislike it. It's just like that for the sake of it.
