Pretty sure he ascended to heaven in bliss. Akari is an angel so its legit.

My biggest issue with Franxx are the mechas. The eyes ruin it. I liked the semi NGE throwback, but other than that, lackluster episode for me.
|
Franxx has literally only two redeemable parts to it: 2D Mecha, and eyes on the mecha.

It takes away from the situation when they're fighting for me. Someone is in trouble, it looks serious, but big anime eyes pull you out of it.

I didn't really spoil anything in my comment though! Laptops exist in the world. People happen to look at them all the time..^^

Gintama is now on break until Summer. Sucks because it was (still is) getting great. Now I won't have anything to watch on Sunday.

Okay, binged Sorayori, last episode comes out tomorrow.
What a fucking amazing show. There are just so many good things that can be said about this one, that I can't even. Also, the use of music in it is probably the best I've ever seen anywhere. Every single episode has a moment where something emotional happens, and the music starts playing in the background. Every single time, the song choice is absolutely perfect, and every single time the scene is beautiful.
Stuff like this is why I love anime. I can't wait until the last episode, even though I have no idea what could possibly happen in it. As far as I'm concerned it could end right now and I'd be satisfied.
+ Show Spoiler [episode 12] + The previously mentioned laptop scene, is one of the best things I've ever seen in anime as a whole. Fuck.

I'm actually glad theres a break. I'm like 15 episodes behind and haven't found the time to start grinding. I want to be there when it ends.

The manga is still going and it is well past the silver soul arc. So who knows what Gorilla is doing. But it's getting good right now and I am very, VERY curious as to if they will animate this part of the manga, or leave it. Maybe they can make a movie for it.

And the massive amount of sex innuendos constantly thrust in your face at all times don't? The girls literally get on their hands and knees while the guys straddle them and pilot the robots with control sticks coming out of the girl's asses.

I swear I mentioned that when it first aired. But yeah, that position is just fan service and could be done without.

I thought it was going to be one of those mediocre niche sols like Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san or something, but it actually has some decent effort put into it. I could do without some of the early episodes, but it's definitely the biggest surprise of the season for me.

Sora yori mo Tooi Basho suprised me the same way that blend-S suprised me. It appears to have all the trappings of a bland show, yet turns out to be interesting, well paced and with character development. As for franxxx, I don't see how anybody didn't drop it after the first episode. Violet Evergarden is probably the best non continuing series of the season, Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san is a bit slow, but very sweet and endearing, and the good but unknown would be Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens.

I've been enjoying franxx a lot since episode 1, why would i drop it.

Franxx is one of the more popular shows this season.

I'm not sure how true that statement is. In this thread? - Yeah In meme sites? - Somewhat popular, yeah, but only because of the booty mecha controls and childhood friend thing. A lot of people have dropped from what I gather. In the weeb discord nobody ever talks about it. Sorayori and Yuru camp on the other half, are very popular. Violet evergarden doesn't seem like very active these days either, at least in the circles I frequent in, the fuss died down completely after the first few eps.

Mostly going by the buzz on anime reddit where it clearly is onw of the darlings of the season.

You say yuru camp and sorayori are very popular You aren't sure if Franxx is popular
Hmm, let's see.
+ Show Spoiler [Franxx MAL stats] + Summary Stats Watching: 133,123 Completed: 4 On-Hold: 2,776 Dropped: 4,044 Plan to Watch: 53,742 Total: 193,689
+ Show Spoiler [Yuru Camp MAL stats] + Watching: 32,022 Completed: 21,676 On-Hold: 1,498 Dropped: 1,795 Plan to Watch: 30,175 Total: 87,166
+ Show Spoiler [Sora Yori MAL stats] +Watching: 46,395 Completed: 163 On-Hold: 1,565 Dropped: 1,485 Plan to Watch: 27,522 Total: 77,130
While MAL stats aren't perfect they're probably fairly representative of the western anime watching community. And Franxx has the two beat, even if you combined the two Franxx is still ahead.
Edit: Decided to check percent of total that had dropped the shows: Franxx, 2,09% Yuru camp 2,06% Sora yori, 1,93%
Minimal differences in drop percentages.
|
the weeb discords i frequent are from r/manga and from puzzle&dragons.
I'm not going to argue if MAL is worth taking into account or not. Let's just say neither my MAL or many people's MAL's represent what they have watched or are watching.
My point is that nobody really talks about franxx. People talk about yuru camp and Sorayori though. Quite a lot. At places I frequent, anyway.
EDIT: also, wtf, 3 replies in 5 minutes.
