So I caught the first episode of Maiyoga (Or The Lost Village as they have it on Crunchyroll) and it's not bad. A nice introduction to the situation, though it made me laugh when the first episode ended on a dramatic look at a bus! Driving forward!  . Other than that, it seemed decent enough so far. Going to have to catch episode two later.

Lord Koth posted:Problem is, unless they're somehow getting more than 12 episodes, that's unlikely. If they don't go for an anime-original ending I can see them getting through chapter 17, but no further. But yes, post-chapter 17 is pretty fun - not to say it's not decent before then as well. One nice thing I did appreciate was the mangaka setting it in stone that they're the actual final couple in chapter 15. Especially with the love triangle-type stuff popping up at the moment, it's nice to have actual proof, as opposed to endless waffling. Yeah, maybe I need to reread the pre-17 stuff, maybe I'm being a bit rough on it. My worry is that they'll rush through a lot of stuff to get to here.

If that's wrong, well, blame Davincie.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:I have no problem with people reacting to the show itself, it's the fact that every time Imaishi is brought up people are always tripping over themselves to call him a perv or whatever and it gets old really fast I tease, I get popping monocles every page of a thread is annoying, there's just something a bit "doth protest to much"-y about how strictly some try to seperate any mention of this, that or the other Imaishi thing from all the others that's sorta funny to me. It IS still an Imaishi thing, at the end of the day, albeit a pretty reigned in one. Anybody else watching Ajin?

Yeah, I've seen that number thrown around too, though unless they start drastically slowing down the pace that seems way too many considering the currently available material. Just have to wait and see.

chumbler posted:50 episodes is too long for any show. Chihayafuru would like a word with you.  My Hero Academia is fun so far. The first two episodes felt like a long introduction before we get to the meat of the series, but I'm looking forward to the next one (I haven't read the manga).

Is there even enough material for 50 episodes without going into Naruto filler territory?

Mentat Radnor posted:Chihayafuru would like a word with you. Chihayafuru was two distinct seasons so it doesn't count as much imo. in the same sense you can just break up a 50 episode series into arcs, as long as the story supports that (some shows don't)

like Gundams are not really conducive to being broken up, so their 40+ episode runs are rightfully daunting to a lot of people

Phobophilia posted:Is there even enough material for 50 episodes without going into Naruto filler territory? There are currently only 29 chapters, and the first two episodes have both covered an entire chapter sooooo.... You could add a few more chapters to that total if they really do make 50 episodes due to the passage of time, but they'd have to start drastically slowing down the pacing. Since they're ~50 page chapters they probably could do this without unduly dragging things out, but it's very much up in the air. Admittedly I'm personally of the opinion it will likely only get twelve episodes, either ending with anime-original or Chapter 17, but it's not impossible they could do a 50 episode series.

I would agree that 50 is too long if the studio has to stretch source material with filler in order to get there.

2nd episode of Bungo Stray Dogs was pretty silly but I'm really looking forward to the next episode. I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of watching Dazai mess with Kunikida lol.

Strange Quark posted:Think Phobophilia is asking for Twin Star Exorcists specifically. Chumbler wasn't, though, saying that 50 was too many for any show. Shows of which I've watched >50 episodes: Bleach (Gave up somewhere around 120) Monster (all 76) Code Geass: Lelouch (All 52) Hayate no Gotoku (52 + extra series) Gintama (I'm at about 155 or so?) Hikaru no Go (All 80 something) Hunter x Hunter (All 130 something) Negima!? and Mahou Sensei Negima (26 each, doesn't count though due to overlap, probably) Of them, the only one that I strongly regret is Bleach. EDIT: That's 10 days of wasted time across all of them, so by regret I really mean in terms of "this is all filler, why am I wasting my time".

I was going to say that Gintama changes things up enough that the episode count is not a problem. Then I remembered a few of the arcs are such a slog that I stopped watching for months before picking it back up. I think I stalled out somewhere in the 170s and have not gotten back to it yet. I can only take so many Dragon Quest parodies and 'serious' arcs. Stick to the one-off gag episodes.

I made kind of a half-rear end thread for Bungo Stray Dogs http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772228 There is so much fantastic art for the whole franchise it was kinda overwhelming looking for content so I just went minimal for the time being but I'll probably edit it when I have more energy for it.

I can only take so many Dragon Quest parodies and 'serious' arcs. Stick to the one-off gag episodes. The longest arc is 8 episodes, barring the most recent arc which is 9. It's very speedy for a shonen. Compare it to Hunter x Hunter, which is relatively quick too, and that has usually ~20 episodes for the meaty arcs.

Okay, I know I said I liked the first episode of Twin Star, but man the second is total garbage. Like, I'm fine with bad shows. This was worse than Hundred or Asterisk. The main character is just a loving black hole of personality. Someone mentioned a time skip. Does that happen like, immediately?

The main character is just a loving black hole of personality. No. Although if they keep up the pace that they set in ep 1 they may get to it halfway through the series? It seems like the consensus is a resounding 'meh' for the series, I say just read it.
