General Anime Thread

What would happen if Disney got an anime studio to do something with their characters?  
 
 
 
 
 
 

@Cyborg_pony  
🙄
 
Y’all really never grew out of this phase of thinking that anime is about violence, nudity, and swearing?

@dt  
The one this is parodying certainly is.

@dt  
You do know that’s Berserk, right?

@Random-Rambling  
Yeah. I totally get ya. Nigh on every moment she’s in chibi form I wanna smack her on the head with a rolled up newspaper or something.  
Seen some people online say she gets a bit better. So we’ll see.  
Also seen several people with younger sisters of their own saying “yeah, This is accurate.”
 
@dt  
Hmmmmm….
 
Violence  

 
Nudity  

 
Swearing  

 
Maybe that IS all there is to anime… o.0  
[Just teasing]
 
@Cyborg_pony  
That just reminds me of the Epic Mickey concept art that was out before the game.
 
 

@Cyborg_pony  
You mean some Donald/Berserk fussion comic? They wouldn’t do grimdark like this anyway. If they made anime from Disney classic stuff it would be KH adapation or something.  
Also wasn’t Berserk anime tonned down?

Finally making time to read dungeon meshi.
 
Not past the first chapter and already i wonder no one has animated this yet.

@Zeb  
Still makes me sad Disney didn’t let Specter have more freedom with the game. It could have been something great. Like old school Disney.

Umaru is best when she is in her normal form and interact with her school friends or as UMR.

@DeathCloud  
Though Umaru in her Outside form while in the hamster-hood is 3X cute~!
 
 

@Zeb  
Also Umaru hamster mode is best in those imagination segments where she and other girls have that size (or even similar hoodies)

Finished Clannad, Clannad: After Story, the two Clannad OVAs, episode 5 of MHA S4 and episode 4 of Special 7.
 
Clannad was really good. It started off a bit slow, but after a couple of episodes I was really invested into the story and characters (which were all excellent). Kotomi and Fuko’s arcs were my favourite, but I liked all of them. I cried about four times throughout the season, which is more than usual for me. I wish Tomoyo got a little more screentime, but that was fixed in the OVA.
 
After Story is now tied with Madoka as my favourite anime of all time. The first half was about as good as the first season, but the second was incredible. It somehow made me even more emotionally invested into the characters than I already was, and used said investment to set up brutal tearjerkers (episode 16…). Picking this anime as my 100th was definitely the right choice.
 
Pretty much the only thing I knew going into this show is that AS is really emotional, and it definitely delivered in that aspect. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much in a single day as I did while watching the second half of AS. It did more than just make me feel sad - it’s been years since I’ve felt this… hurt(?).
 
It’s probably the only romance anime I’ve watched that actually moved beyond high school, which was a nice surprise. I also loved how realistically the characters’ life after school was portrayed.
 
The ending was a little confusing at first, but after reading more about it I pretty much have no complaints.
 
The Tomoyo and Kyou OVAs were pretty good. Not to the same level as the anime, but it was mostly because they only had 25 minutes each to tell the story. Still, both of them made me cry.
 
The new MHA S4 episode was excellent. I was still a little bit meh on Kirishima… until this episode. Holy shit was that fight scene amazing. It looks like he will be a main character this season, which I’m definitely happy about.
 
The Special 7 episode was better than the last one. The elf character finally got more screentime, and I like how the episode tied back to the previous one.
 
Next up is Recorder and Randsell.

@WyrmSpawN  

 
I’ve already read the first five volumes and it’s so good! Though it’s called Delicious In Dungeon here.
 

 
 
@DeathCloud  

 
Grimdark Disney, you say?

Finished Recorder and Randsell (it had three seasons and multiple OVAs, but each episode was 3 minutes long).
 
This was a good comedy. The main characters were pretty interesting - a grade schooler that looks like a high school student, and a high school student that looks like a grease schooler. This led to some pretty good comedic moments, but the show overused a few jokes, especially in season 1. The supporting cast was mostly good, with one exception - the pedo guy introduced in season 3 was more often than not just annoying. Also, I preferred the artstyle in seasons 1 and 2.
 
Next up is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. I’m going to be watching the dub (obviously), which has only six episodes out so far.

Useless Goddess yelling at Ocelot

@dt  
I like that smug look on Kizuna AI’s face in the background.

 
Bookworm ep 8. I get that Main is 5 but she still should know not to poke the mysterious red thing, especially in a forest in a magic fantasy world.
 
Speaking of smarts, I appreciate that Lutz isn’t a dumbass. I liked that, even though his intuition was spot on, Lutz really had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went. The escalation of the tension between the two was very well done, with their suppressed feeling rushing to the surface. Lutz had always liked the old Main, even with everyone praising the new Main. And Main never asked for this life, she’s just making the most out of a strange situation. She may be getting a lot of praise from people around her, but she has plenty of her own demons to fight.
 
I’m far from an isekai aficionado, but this might be the most “real” take on it I’ve seen. The world has always been terrible, everyone’s life sucks. (I mean, Main basically admitted to being ready to end her life.) Resurrection would probably not be your salvation. And it manages this without getting super dark (in terms of tone or lighting).
 
 

 
Stars Align ep 7. Oh, Mitsue. You’re such a cunt. ♥
 
For real though, Mitsue is a very real depiction of a cynical, jaded loner. The kind of who really, badly wants to make connections and friends but she’s stuck in this vicious cycle where she pushes away people she wants to be close with.
 
As for the match, good plan by Maki, not getting intimidated by Oji, and being able to identify their team’s lack of chemistry and a plan to attack it. It was fun to watch Oji really get thrown off his game, just because he actually got challenged. But it was also nice to watch them overcome their weakness. Didn’t expect the show to even try to humanize their adversaries but it pulled it off well.
 
It’s so nice that this is as satisfying as a sports drama as it is a naturalistic character drama.
 
Loved Itsuki being able to open up about his past in his own quiet way. Not all character development needs to be done in big, boisterous, bombastic scenes. Quiet moments can work, too.
 
The little picnic they had was nice. I liked how easily they got along with Oji after giving his ego a bruisin, offering him good food, and being nice to his dog. Maki’s story about cockroaches was kinda gross, though. Toma not feeling like he belongs, even in his own club that he is the president of, is very curious. This show has a very realistic grasp of loneliness, and I’m so glad to be watching a tv show in 2019 that really gets it. Thank Akane for Japanese cartoons.
 
(As for the after-credits, it’s probably the dad, right?)

Dounika Naru Hibi is getting an anime Summer 2020. Manga by Shimura Takako (Wandering Son, Sweet Blue Flowers), Liden Kyoto crew directed by Satou Takuya (Kase-san, Fragtime). Could be great.

KyoAni is accepting applications for their training school again. Good sign.

Currently watching Fairy Tail and My Hero Academia, and I want to start watching a third series. Any suggestions?

Princess Tutu.
 
You think I’m joking but I’m not.

@Dustcan
 
…
 
Wat.

@Penguin Lagann
 
Real men watch Princess Tutu.
 
Also, guitar ninjas.
 

@Dustcan  
I like that, even in a My Little Pony board, we need to justify watching a “girly” show by saying “real men watch [whatever].”
 
You’re in anime thread in a My Little Pony booru, “bro.” You can let it go.
