Red Dragon sounds interesting. Especially if it can be determined who played what

Fangz posted:I'd like Red Dragon more if they used the original players as voice actors for these characters. It'd probably be even better if half of it was animated with them at the table including portions of them shooting the poo poo as it tends to happen as such affairs with the other half being the events in game and done as straight as possible

OnimaruXLR posted:Dick Jokes Terrorists was really weird. I've never seen such a... self-righteous? Dumb pervy comedy before. Not to mention that it doesn't make a lick of sense in a post-internet world. Or really doesn't make sense anywhere outside of the nightmare reality of anime where 99% of the population are high school and Jr. High students. I'll give it credit for trying to have an interesting concept, but the main thing was that it wasn't that funny to me, largely because I do not find puns or dirty jokes humorous in and of themselves. I can believe it if there's a national firewall ala China. But it does stretch disbelief somewhat. Still, it's just goofy enough that I don't care quite so much. Also, the symbol before the end credits is missing two fingers and a ring to make a goatse.

Joukamachi no Dandelion was cute. 11 Main characters and the Primary character being endearingly shy (or at least have the shy type of moe). Also, the suspension of disbelief is paper thin. I'll probably watch it to the end unless I skip an ep or two. Then I'd probably stop caring.

Chaos Dragon...The set up is interesting even if the character designs are a bit fanservicey in different directions, but that's par for the course for Fantasy series. 3 Episode test unless someone know which character goes with which author so the series can get some underlying context to things and potentially become amusing via imagining how it played out at the table.

Pootybutt posted:You say that like there would ever be a shortage of things to poo poo on(and from what I've seen he usually backs up his reasoning, so who cares??) Not to sound apologist for it, because I agree it was bad, the Transcript starts way after this episode apparently (from 4chan): quote:Ibuki and Eiha were already in the Rebel Army from the very beginning and were trying to talk with the Red Dragon and calm it from its insanity. It goes wrong and almost all the Rebel Army unit gets wiped, but Eiha revives because Nill Kamui is odd and its known as the land where the dead come back.

Phobophilia posted:Chaos Dragon is hilariously bad. Perhaps it's because I've had an extra glass of wine, but I was doubled over laughing at how awful it was. I blame the fact that they're not even into the actual TRPG that they did, but are still in anime original set-up mode. Reading some of the replay, the series has a lot of potential to be good. Instead we get.... Looking at the staff listings, the Director is pretty green and has previously only been directing OPs and EDs via the company, Alice from Japan. I would guess he's to blame for how bad it is.

Healbot posted:Chaos Dragon and Castle Town Dandelion though are trash and should not be watched by anyone. 3 ep test for both, IMO Chaos Dragon needs to get on the TRPG's rails and the Director needs to stop being clever. Dandelion might be utterly average.

Also, I'm wondering if the break into the Eva OP during the ED is a one time thing or just part of the ED Edit: It does feel like it's trying to ape Shirobako a little bit, but it's different enough that it isn't a straight rip-off.

madmac posted:It's based on a doujin that predates Shirobako by several years, so suggesting it's a rip-off is a bit of a stretch. I might create a thread for the show, if only because I already know a lot of dumb trivia about the manga despite never really reading it before now. My mistake. Was not aware of that at all.

Rodyle posted:"Our smalll island country was invaded by the west while our ally to the east defended its bases and did nothing" oh you don't say Chaos Dragon That's not even how the TRPG was. The two nations were supposed to be at a standstill with Nil Kamui acting as a neutral buffer state. The game started past all this introductory anime original stuff. NND at least shares the same sentiment that the show is mediocre

Space Dandy feels like a show that shouldn't be marathoned and asks you not to. It's the perfect show to rerun and use to fill up time slots since its episodic nature makes it amenable to being watched in whatever order

The worst one is likely not going to be a show picked up by CR or Funi or any other streaming service

madmac posted:Yeah. It's not a big deal or anything just really obvious in hindsight. Well it's not like CR or Funi sub the OPs or EDs all the time even if they have recurring unique bits or are character songs. The fact they do it for Sore ga Seiyuu is slightly surprising in that it's being done at all.

Ranpo Kitan (or Trap Boy Detective) is on my watch list now after episode 3. It does feature two shades of , one less horrifying than the other. Also, the feminine main character wears a dress.

Darth Walrus posted:Transphobic violence is a super hosed up and depressing topic, so a bunch of folks got upset at how transgendered people and cross-dressers (or just especially feminine dudes) were described as 'traps' for unsuspecting heterosexual guys. Cue great big horrible flamewar. It was also sexist because it only applied to feminine looking males while masculine females got reverse trap. Otokonoko would also be semi problematic in that literally translated, it means boy-girl or femme boy. People who don't care about that stuff still use "trap" though or at least talk longingly about getting into their boy-pussy.

I don't even know who'd be to blame as to why the adaptation of Jitsuwa is so poor relative to the manga. It might be the director just not doing as well, but he's got a few good series under his belt like Servant X Service and the second season of Ika Musume. It could be the creator being less hands on and not really caring about keeping the expressions and the comedy that his manga is best known for. It's just sort of unfortunate.

a kitten posted:really for real? I started the manga since the show was getting mediocre reactions, and knowing that some of the knuckleheads might actually progress romantically will probably help my enjoyment. I think the most endemic problem to romcom series is how slow everything is at the beginning and how long it takes for the series to find its stride. Once it gets over the initial character introduction hurdles and the author finds their groove, the story generally gets an uptick in quality. Or at least more interesting things happen beyond the standard hijinks. This may be partially influenced with my recent reading of Kawaisou since the portion the anime adapted is interesting, but it gets better beyond that section due to the secondary cast bouncing off of the main characters better than the mains bounce off of each other.
