I didn't care about Sports Anime at all until I watched Uma Musume, now I'll watch one if it catches my interest.

Yeah Uma Musume 2 works as a character drama and comedy in addition to being a sports anime. It's tied with Yurucamp as my favorite sequel series of the year

Not much happened in this week's Saint's. We settled the "What's going to happen to Aira?" question pretty definitively, she's going to be taken care of by Elizabeth and a different Prince who isn't insistent that she's the Saint despite all evidence to the contrary. Meanwhile Sei keeps having scenes with Captain (excuse me, Commander) Love Interest that don't go anywhere because she won't be honest about her feelings. Smooch him already!

Davincie posted:Congrats to uma musume season two’s first bluray with becoming the second best selling anime of all time, beating evangelion, bakemonogatari and madoka. Only the invincible Golden Eggs still reigns at number 1 Looking up the numbers, the only series that still has it beat is Gundam Unicorn. And Gundam Unicorn was a slow build OVA, "only" selling 85K in its opening week. This looks like a pretty impressive exception to the general trend for DVD and Blu-Ray sales lately. Wonder how Demon Slayer Season 2 sales will compare.

worth noting that past shows' sales figures being compared in all the figures i see are average per volume, not total. uma musume s2 is just on volume 1 preorders right now, so the numbers aren't quite official even if its probably going to be insane. still, its going to be the best-selling anime where money didn't just disappear up sony's rear end or everyone gainax owed money. [someone makes a yakuza joke here]

Wark Say posted:How many of Gainax's IP's have gone to either Khara or Trigger? http://www.gainax.co.jp/wp/archives/post-6887/ The current CEO of Gainax is Yasuhiro Kamimura, who did key animation on the original EVA TV series, digital work on the Rebuild movies, and is also the CEO of Groundworks. Groundworks is a shell company Khara set up exclusively to handle EVA's IP. Yoshiki Usa, who's a producer on most everything Trigger's made, is the VP. They're both still involved with their respective studios, Usa has a Producer/Planning credit on Dynazenon right now, so it seems like, while Gainax still owns those IPs on paper, Trigger and Khara would have such power over it that they could sign off on anything either of them wanted to do with it. The only difficulty would be that both Khara and Trigger would have to agree to something, but Khara isn't in the business of TV anime so they don't seem like they'd step on each other's toes.

Oh, they figured out all the stuff with gainax trying to sequester away the licenses to prevent them from being acquired by trigger or whatever? That's cool, that sounded real hosed up when it came up in the news.

Nate RFB posted:If you can believe it they've actually sped things up quite a bit, the first handful of chapters were much more maudlin and understated (a lot like the authors' previous work Kuro) where the setting was even more inscrutable and mysterious as you slowly learned things through Emilico's eyes. The current story in the anime was indeed supposed to be a bit of a watershed moment so I can understand why they tried to make sure to get it in but it is a bit of a shame because I did like those early stories. Yeah, that's the big thing about the series that makes it a big difficult. The original manga is even more atmospheric and more a of a slower burn as it takes its time filling in the basics of the setting without setting up much mystery. The part where they spend hunting for the ghost is really the first time they alluded to something deeper and darker in the background iirc but it's still way way in the back. It's after this that the first shoe actually drops where we get an idea of the actual low key horror of the setting begins to emerge and the other shoe drops not too long after. But right now, it could very well turn out to be a superpowered battle shonen type series where people have soot-based powers with a Victorian setting instead of what it turns out being.

^^^ Yes, AniChart now defaults to Summer, so time to start thinking of what comes in July. Just a reminder that "Super Cub" is one of the most underrated anime series this Spring, and it deserves any accolades it gets. Windshields, man. WINDSHIELDS!

I've watched 8 eps of uma musume s2 and it's... okay, speaking as someone who did not watch s1 or play the mobage. The eps flip between side characters so often it's hard to remember their names sometimes, let alone get invested in any of their stories, and nothing in it really stands out from any other typical sports show. The CGI races look quite bad sometimes but that's not really something I fault a show for.

Watched EDEN on Netflix and it's aggressively okay. It's nothing that hasn't been done a bunch of time before in post-apocalypse paradise stories, but the CGI animation's decent enough (and thankfully not the arbitrarily-choppy kind) and there are worse ways to kill two hours. The dub cast has some surprisingly big names too, I wasn't expecting to hear David Tennant's voice out of a robot. I presume the answer is "Netflix binge model", but I really don't get why this couldn't have just been a movie when it's just 4 half-hour episodes.
