TLADT discord is Discord.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |
Relife : I read the manga some time ago, before dropping it. I'm not sure how I feel about this show. Watched the first 4 episodes. Some comedy bits with Hishiro's smile and other jabs they throw at each other. Maybe it's because I have already read the manga and the anime doesn't bring anything new?
Berserk : A lot of hate are directed toward the first episode. I still enjoyed it (Berserk > no Berserk). My memory of the events are a bit foggy, so maybe that's why I enjoyed it.
Princess Mononoke : Great movie! I'd rank it below Spirited Away. The story is nothing original, but the fantasy touch is beautiful!
So far, my Studio Ghibli experience is as follow : Spirited Away >> Princess Mononoke >>>>>>>>>>>> Grave of the Fireflies
What's the next movie I should check? 
|
Will Berserk go down as one of the worst manga adaptations, or will it be able to recover?

I hope not

ReLIFE turned out basically how I expected it to be. So I like it already. Good start to the season.
Also new Berserk animation... Not a fan of it...

lol, you guys. It was pretty much set that the new Berserk would be horrible. I actually started watching the first adaption the other day. 2 episodes in and so far it's quite decent imho.

You mean running out of bullets all the time? Just kidding but I don't know. I think Fallout and Ergo Proxy have a pretty different flair to them. I haven't played the newer ones though.

Uh? I mean yeah, some of the main points have probably been used before in some way or another but that's true for everything. I don't think Princess Mononoke was less original than Spirited Away, but ok.
Didn't we gave you a list? :>

"Played" through all of Planetarian, it's well worth the $5 but I probably wouldn't buy it for $10. I'm quite hyped for the movie, I think it'll do a great job of adapting the VN.

I checked out the first episode of Tanaka-kun is Always Listless, it was quite good and I can't believe I passed it up last season

edit: Last Sakamoto episode was decent. + Show Spoiler +Not as funny, but ended it pretty well. Is there really gonna be a 13th episode on DVD? Because that definitely did look like the ending ep.

Yeah I think so, but I don't know where the list is haha
I thought Spirited Away was more original than Princess Mononoke (i've seen more stories similar to Princess than Spirited Away). But i won't pretend to know the entire litterature!

Human history is decently long so chances are someone somewhere wrote a story with similar themes. So many stories can be liken back to Shakespeare or even further back to Greek tragedies anyway. It's more about the execution of the ideas than if the ideas themselves are completely original. Ghibili is pretty well executed in a rather original manner which is where the charm of the films is.

First episode of Souma S2 justifies the hype. It's animation quality was also noticeably higher than any episode from season 1, I felt like I was watching an anime movie. If that's why the wait was as long as it was, then I'll happily be patient for future seasons.
|
I'm debating watching it now or waiting for a bit of a buffer. Don't think I'll last the night. Need Alice and that Red head who most likely isn't in it
|
Sadly the second season is only 12 episodes iirc which means no stagiaire arc unless they rush it
Or maybe i'm remembering the tournament as though it lasted longer than it actually did, idk

It's possible they just upping the budget to get better quality animation but then doing 13 ep seasons instead of the 24. I'm fine with that personally. Maybe I'm just being naive though
|
I've never come across an anime myself that had differently sized seasons. Thanks for the source though.

Holy fuck Shokugeki no Souma didn't disappoint. <333 So exciting, so fun. Laughed a lot at the jury's reactions. + Show Spoiler +I wasn't so sure that Souma would win when his opponent was Alice. Awesome first battle, Alice clearly is the better sister for now. I really disliked Erina in S1, let's see if that will change. Probably not.
Hmm... Megumi will have a hard match, not so sure if she'll win either.
|
Alice is so awesome, so hot, so funny, so cute. She's the best. That grandfather is way too hardcore lol
