Dimension W
Studio 3Hz | Kamei, Kanta | Sci-Fi, Seinen | N/A
In the year 2072, the world's energy problems seem solved by a network of cross-dimensional electric-field inductors—"coils"—that extract energy from a seemingly infinite source. That source is the W dimension, a fourth plane that exists beyond the X, Y, and Z dimensions. In this world, unofficial "illegal" coils harness powers that the police can't hope to counter. Dealing with these coils is the job of coil-hating repo man Kyoma, whose run-in with the unique coil android Mira leads the two to form a reluctant partnership.

I've done so much catching up on shows from previous years that I can't remember what all I've watched that came out this year - barring the stuff I am watching right at this very moment, of course.

Looking forward to the end of year thread.

The problem with the GATE thread was less the show/manga/novels being bad, more people posting badly about it.

The series itself honestly just sounds like harmless kitschy pulp to me.

EDIT: That said I will probably not reopen the thread, nor allow its recreation.

The Neptunia thing was started as a rumor by people who didn't know why Jojo wasn't getting the One Piece/Naruto/Bleach treatment of one single long-running show without interruptions, and was consequently spread by people who have no idea how the industry works.

I have the day off today so I'm gonna go see a movie.

I've unlocked the Myriad Colors thread. If you guys can turn it into something more substantive while I'm gone, I'll leave it open. Not asking for much, just more than "Eh, it was a thing," "Maybe it's bad, I dunno."

I believe in you guys. Save the thread.

Jojo is extremely compartmentalized so cutting it up and spreading it out actually makes a lot of sense.

I've made threads but that's not to say it's indicative of what policy is overall.

If a general shorts thread is how it'll be done onward, then I'll refrain from posting a close my thread.

Bad Seafood, what say you?
As long as you've got something you can actually have a conversation about, it's fine.

We've had threads for shorts before.

Bad Seafood posted:

I think people should be able to make threads about what they want, when they want, but the purpose of a thread (99% of the time) is to have a conversation, so I think people should only make threads for things when there's actually something to talk about.
Cross-posting this from the chat thread since I know there are some types (like Graybook) who are on the fence about this sort of thing.

If you wanna make a thread for a show, you don't have to wait an arbitrary amount of episodes to do so - or wait for an arbitrary amount of people to show interest - but you should have something to talk about. If you think you're the only person watching a show, feel free to try and make a thread for it to drum up some interest, but not everything that comes out needs its own thread (and just because it gets a thread doesn't mean it's going to take off). For certain shows, hype, staff talk, or the existence of source material can justify a thread before they've even aired, but for others it's good to wait a few episodes just to see how things pan out. This thread, I think, and all other seasonal discussions are a great place to test the waters or throw out minor commentary.

Don't be afraid to make threads, but don't make them out of obligation or because "Well, SOMEONE has to" or whatever. You can speak up when you've something to say, but if you've nothing to say don't try to fill airtime.

Probably a good idea.

Likewise, if someone (looking at you, Namtab) wants to remake the Myriad Colors thread, I won't say no. In this case I'd just ask that you wait a week for the next episode after the first proved to be such a nonstarter.
