@Cross Ange talk: I dunno, I don't find watching people getting raped and sexually abused to be enjoyable. And saying someone deserves it on top of all that? Sounds like something Shauni would say.

World trigger will be the first show i drop this season.
Two episodes in a row that managed to be completely and utterly boring and had little more animation than a powerpoint presentation.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I guess this is why anime studios stopped taking their time try to develop stories and just jam it in.

I haven't watched it but I heard the animation quality was pretty bad. I don't mind stories taking awhile to get moving but if the quality is bad that's rather off putting.

What? It's not about a lack of story, it's about nothing that interests me in the least.
The characters are nothing special and their interactions haven't been fun either.
The setting isn't really that unique or special.
The animation is non-existant and frankly just really bad. I'd rather read the manga than watch the anime because it's probably be a far better visual experience.

I don't mind stories with slow starts, as long as the characters or the setting atleast have some resemblance of entertainment/something to get you interested attached to them.

did they just fit a large part of the prequel's story into like a 3 minute ending? havent read the 2nd or 3rd grisaia vn's but from what ive heard a large part of the 2nd vn is basically how each girl arrives at r-whatever academy.

That's the whole point. It's called a slow start because so they can develop character and setting. If they just gush out about all the character and setting and background so you would find them special and unique, it wouldn't be a slow start would it? That's like saying "I don't mind non alcoholic beverage as long as I can still get drunk on it".

Uh, what? A slow start to a story does not automatically mean having uninteresting characters and setting. You can easily have interesting characters and settings whilst also having a slow start to your story. The series is currently 2 episodes in and has done nothing to hook me as a viewer, the interaction between the characters has infact only been slightly annoying so far, did we really need 3 scenes in a row where Kuga beats up people because he doesn't understand the new world he's in? It was easily understood the first time that he was clearly not used to the way things worked in that world and things worked different where he was from, hell it was also quickly clear that things weren't quite the way the main character thought they were in regards to neighbors. If the animation then atleast was nice to look at then there would have been a reason to keep watching it over just picking up the manga, but it isn't.

It has nothing to do with wanting them to "gush out about all the character and setting and background so you would find them special and unique" as much as it has to do with the anime so far just doing a really piss poor job at being remotely interesting, again having a slow start doesn't mean you can't do anything to interest/hook readers/viewers. Who knows if the manga is good, it might be, but the transition to anime definitely hasn't done it any justice so far.

If you enjoy it, that's great, but to me it has just not been even remotely entertaining. Which has nothing to do with liking or disliking slow starts.

Steins;gate(the anime) had an insanely slow start too but still managed to hook viewers, to give an example.

elfen lied had a slow start but had something super interesting to hook. steins gate character was unique and threw a lot of mystery early on surrounding a rare concept. trigger's hook from ep1 is + Show Spoiler +
its a magical guy anime with a weak protaganist who wants to get stronger. not strong enough to hook a lot of people imo. its a shame but its true

i really like the manga for world trigger but i have to agree the anime adaptation is awful and i've already dropped it too.

More mysteries surrounding the mc, like his background and JB. Also Sakaki's repeated attempts to kill him lol. Other than excessive number of pantsu shots, still not much plot was revealed. But I am looking forward to next ep where it seem to show parts of the character's past I guess
+ Show Spoiler +

ok I actually can't wait and went to read the manga and then started on the VN. Seem like the anime goes straight to the main plot and skim a lot of SoL parts, especially Amane-related stories, like her desperate attempt at Yuuji and her waifu-level actions. But the VN is just so long I don't even know how to finish it. At least the pace in the anime feel less draggy, although there is less Amane to enjoy

Actually I am not so sure. There are parts in the anime that are not in the VN, like when Amane harassing Yuuji under the table. May be just some compensation for the lack of h-scene. or they change the order. I am only 4hrs+ into the VN, so can't tell much


Mahou shoujo michiru to English never.

That's actually part of the kickstarter, amusingly enough.

Maybe that's what draws you to Ookami Shoujo. It's a show where a girl keeps getting disappointed and shit on by a guy and she keeps coming back for more!

dem dargons spits out LAAZA BEEAMUS. probably


Not sure what the show is trying to be. In the episode, it pretends to be all serious and dark? and unnecessarily gruesome. But the preview has Nana joking about the series =\. Only the OP (song), mecha designs, and next EP previews have been the best parts. Rest so far is cringe.

Dragon, 99.99% sure of that She got shot down from one of their magic circles or w/e its called since if it was from the rift opening, all of them would've been affected by it and not just coco but man, that was so sad to see She was so energetic and happy. I blame you Ange!!!!!
