If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

The only thing that's surprising about GuP s2 is why it took so long to get greenlit considering the insane sales the series and movie had. I wonder what the plot of the second season will be.

I was dissapointed with the movie's plot just being a rehash of the tv series with worse antagonists so I hope they'll try something different this time.

I hope they stop with the stupid story and just get to the tank business. I'm sure there are porn with better plot.

I agree it's a let down, also the novelty of the series has worn off for me so it just compounds the disappointment. Still worth the watch though.

I think the pacing was the killer here. This arc deserved to have a 24 episode run, like the one before it, so it could have proper buildup scenes, and let each of the big moments, well, have their moment. At 12 episodes, it feels like every time something cool happens, the actors are being shooed offstage. It gets through to all the big stuff, but it's so rushed because it has to fit in half as many episodes.

It's rushed because the manga is rushed and light on actual content. If it was 24 episodes they would have to put in so much anime only filler you'd be complaining the reverse.

Not at all, dude. I'm not saying the election finals should take a full 24 episodes, but look at how it's panning out at just 12. So many scenes cut short or flat out removed from the manga, making the whole thing feel like it's whizzing past you. Souma's battle with Alice should have taken 2 episodes, including scenes before and after the actual match. Instead we were sort of just thrust into it and it was over in 1 shot. It totally doesn't resonate with my experience reading the manga, and it doesn't give you a chance to breathe. What could've been a perfect anime arc is being hamstrung by its oddly short season length.

No, though the first quarter of the movie was easily a 10/10 so I'll give it that.

I mean it might just end on a cliffhanger without a proper conclusion, iirc there's still quite a bit of source material

Just to make sure I understand what's going on right. Are you suggesting 24 episodes where like 12-16 of those are election finals than rest go into the other arcs? I can get behind that. I wonder if they had an issue with where to stop with the schedule. It is bizarre to have 13 ep season sequel.

Man Alice and her mom are so good, too bad i'll probably never get to hear either of their VAs attempt any danish Then again, maybe that's for the best considering how other languages typically end up sounding in anime

It definitely will. Afaik even the Arc we are currently in ends with a huge cliffhanger. And I read we are currently at like 25% of the WN story (I think it's even less).

Been having a ton of fun replaying some pokémon lately and i began watching the latest series (pokémon X&Y) while playing
and it's pretty weird to get used to the japanese names for the pokémon and some episodes are a bit too generic
but it's still fun and the animation is actually pretty damn good making the battles really satisfying to watch

+ despite pikachu still being boring, satoshi's newest pokémon from the kalos region are all pretty cool personality wise

Generally when I see 24/7 fanart and cosplay about a girl from an anime show it's a rather big red flag for the show's quality.

The X&Y series is apparently pretty decent production- and battle-wise. I'm currently "rewatching" the original series (60 eps in) and it's surprisingly entertaining despite being quite bad at times. The battles are boring as fuck though and the animation is garbage.
I planned on skipping everything after the original series and to go straight to X&Y. Probably going to watch it dubbed though. Not going to fuck with japanese names after all those years. I even watch the original series in german (except for banned episodes)...

Yeah, the whole internet decided waifuing Rem because the rest is completely mediocre and she has to carry the whole show on her own. It's kind of the case where everything half-way decent shines like an angel. It's a pretty sad statement to be honest.

Just like boobstrap anime was good?!#

I don't mind the craze though. Some real quality stuff out there.

edit: Red flag doesn't necessarily mean it's bad, it's more that it most likely ticks off the appropriate boxes perfectly to get the masses in a hype craze. That kind of show isn't for me these days. Not lewd enough.

People were just fascinated with Boob string from her 1st appearance. People actually didn't like Rem at first. This isn't a comparable situation. Rem got her fans through her development and actions mid series on.

ReZero is actually a quality work and the adaptation has been well done.
