General Anime Thread

I wonder if there will be a reference to Roosevelt-sama or Wilson-sama after the Presidents who founded the National Park Service (yes, I know this game isn’t in in Japanese, nor is it set in Japan, but Japanese honorifics just sound right)

@YetAnotherBrony  
There’s a possibility, but who knows other than the ones that played it?

@SquiggyBomb  

 
You can definitely tell it’s by the creator of Soul Eater.
 
I can’t wait!

One Steam Review had this to say:
 
“We lewded battleships, planes, tanks, monsters, Greek gods, consoles, robots, food, dinosaurs, countries, browsers, Bowser, cats, dogs, rabbits and pretty much every known animal out there. Now the time has finally come for us to lewd National Parks! Truly the next step towards humanity’s enlightment.”
 
However, there’s very little to no actual lewdness, since this is an All-Ages VN. And no, there’s no secret 18+ patch either.

My Monday message for all of you.  

The best thing about being an anime mod is you get to eat babies for free

~~I wish we had a “save quotes” feature for posts like we do in the IRC/Discord~~~  
Screw it. Doing it anyways~

@Holofan4life  

 
I drink the sweet brony tears for free, WITHOUT having to be a mod.

 
Had to rewatch it. So good.
 
 
Endro ep 10. Eh, wasn’t bad but just kinda rehashed stuff. Got a bit better as it went on. I liked that Sei’s power fantasy was having a clean room.
 
 
Egao no Daika ep 11. Strong moment for Stella, pulling their team out the spiral before they feel too deep. I liked the symbolism in Stella’s aquarium. Yuuki’s ideas don’t seem bad on a surface level. Maybe kinda simplistic, but her heart seems like it’s in the right place. (I don’t really have the interest to pick it apart, either.)
 
The dramatic moments were a bit better. At least they didn’t make me laugh. Layla dropping the honorific was sweet.
 
With one ep left, the question is: Will the leads meet, as implied by the OP and ED? Definitely not.
 
 

 
Spec Ops Asuka ep 10. I like the part where we see what the soldiers think of the girls. I appreciate the balance this show has. It legit feels like the magical girls are small but important part of a bigger organization and a bigger world, and are not just out there on their own.
 
Sayako refusing to leave Nozomi behind was sweet, and I like seeing moments where the heroes have affected things on a smaller scale. It was a weird choice to cut back to the police officer about to get eaten and have the girls stop for a moment as they heard a crunch, but otherwise, it was a sweet moment. (This show is full of weird decisions like that.)
 
Asuka’s despair was handled very well. I can definitely understand her showing some weakness at that moment. I’d much rather watch protagonists like her rather than ones who are unrealistically unphased when put in critical situations. I also like this show’s depiction of power as a burden, as something that’s not really any fun to have.

Top quote though

Just from this screenshot alone, I want to watch this anime~  
Apparently it’s Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?/Is This a Zombie?
 

The latest episode of Kemono Friends was the best episode this season. It’s even better than the Kaban episode.

@dt  
Re: Egao: I have a feeling they’ll meet in the finale and probably push the button together or something, we’ll have to wait and see.
 
Re: Endro: I had a little laugh at Mei’s Cartado power fantasy, but yeah, Seira’s fantasy of having a clean room was nice. As for the episode, I thought it was alright, funny at times, but the reuse of the dream bits for Yushia, Fai and Mei did get on my nerves a little.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
See, I think what will happen is as they’re literally about to turn a corner and bump into each other, Joshua shows up and Yuuki runs to him instead.

Kemurikusa: Well, Wakaba’s personality isn’t nearly as annoying as it was in the earlier episodes, which is a plus. Ryouku telling Wakaba about Rin’s Memory Leaf peaks my interesting, along with the girl we see in said memory leaf as well. Plus, I honestly like both Ryouku and Ryou, namely, the former a little more.

Kind of feels funny looking back at this after you’ve watched the show:  

I watched a few more episodes of Love Live, and I’m starting to like it more and more. As far as characters go, I still like LL Sunshine’s cast more (nothing will beat Sunshine’s first years), but they’re growing on me.

@dt  
Black pikachu is real hero

@DeathCloud  
I’ll admit, the mascots grew on me.

@Holofan4life  
Yeah, plot, worldbuilding, fun character interactions: that was an actual good KF episode- where was this writing three episodes ago? I was really getting disillusioned there.  
Random thoughts:  
-Did we really need a reminder that Dog is sad?  
-Kaban & co.! And she didn’t give away the original Boss! Fennec and Arai! Why isn’t this the main cast/story, again?  
-If the sunken amusement park is the one from KF, then either another apocalypse happened, or KF2 takes place centuries after KF.
 
@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Is that original Kemurikusa available subbed anywhere?

@Flying Pancake  
Sadly, there isn’t any subs for it, not that I know of, at least.

@Flying Pancake  
Nyaa has one listed, I’ll check it real quick.
 
edit: Nevermind, it’s the webcast of the TV anime.

 
Mob Psycho ep 11. Just jaw-dropping storyboarding and animation. It’s a nice a change of pace for the fights to use strategy over just raw power. I liked Mob confronting the guys in the shop, basically telling them they’re still powerless. I liked Ritsu realizing what he wanted wasn’t his brother’s powers, it was his determination and work ethic. I liked Teru and everyone showing they learned the right lessons from fighting Mob.
 
I loved Mob believing that we need to have faith in each other to get though life AND the show acknowledging that life isn’t that fucking simple, that kindness can’t solve everything and you need to be hard on people sometimes. (I also liked that Mob took it to heart, in his own way.) I loved how the villains’ drive and confidence comes from their false sense of superiority, and the second that’s gone, they’re done. Objectively, it is kinda monotonous, but I just can’t enough of this show hammering these ideas in.
 
And, as usual, amidst all of the godly displays of skill, Reigen being a fraud steals the ep. What a fucking boss. I fucking love this fucking show.
 
Manaria Friends ep 9. Haha, Anne got jealous because Grea let someone else in her room before her, and then she was too embarassed to make up. I do appreciate the grandiose romantic buildup over such a small argument.
 
 
Stil behind, but I just don’t manage my time very well.

Technically not anime, but a VN, but I’m just posting it here because it definitely caught my attention.
 
Fanservice for both guys and girls! And gay guys and lesbians!

People hate the doggo episode of Kemono Friends so much it currently has a 2.83 out of 10. Personally, I didn’t think it was that bad. I would have given it a 6 out of 10.
