CrazySalamander posted:What? Is this a spoiler or something in some insane way? I've never even watched AoT. I think we really need someone to describe the whole AoT ending so we can tell if that was a spoiler

I don't know, I'm just a cry baby at endings like what I described . I would prefer it if Revnege ended with Franchouchou outting themselves, people accepting them, and being reunited with their families.

Strange Quark posted:bro this happened over ten years ago Here's a quote from the last page of the previous anime discussion thread: Raenir Salazar posted:It's been a while since I watched Haruhi, what was she mad at in that scene again? I assume Kyon? Haruhi pretty clearly is likely to be discussed at least semi regularly, and goons being goons are likely to argue about it. I don't have search but I would be interested if someone who did looked at the discussion threads for instances of Endless 8. GorfZaplen posted:I stand with CrazySalamander. Thanks. I do feel like a lot of the people posting in this thread have a lot of "someone is wrong on the internet" vibe.

CrazySalamander posted:Just coincidence. That being said I bet that it gets discussed at least a couple times a year in the discussion thread given how contentious it is. This is from an era where the revenue stream from North America while addictive I don't think would have affected the LN author's confidence. It might have resulted in them canning however that KyoAni pro-Haruhi producer was Japan-side but I can't see how it would have affected the author one way or another. Maybe the Japanese audience if it was similarly negative might have affected the author, but I doubt it because the author I think is going to care far more about the reaction/reception to the novel than about the adaption even though its primary goal is selling the novel. I think it had to statistically happen that regardless of how successful your work is you get creative burnout and lose interest in dedicating every waking moment to that IP. Look at how much of GRRM's life revolves around Game of Thrones as a result of how successful it is, conventions, tie in novels, merch, screenlighting, consultations; no time to actually write or consider experimenting with something else.

CrazySalamander posted:This is well put and I may as well put my crackpot theory out there: the angry reactions to Endless 8 shook the author's confidence (angry feedback, regardless of amount can stand out) and knocked them into a hiatus.

Also even so, the way Endless Eight was adapted was all on KyoAni. The novels literally only did like one of the loops.

Super Cub was great. I found it more suspenseful at times than other more 'high stakes' things I've watched so far this season.

Super Cub and Odd Taxi are my favorites of the season so far - I’m at best cautious about Combatants Will Be Sent! and that permadeath VR MMO show I watched the new MHA and was struck by how little I care about these protagonists / how much I hate Mineta / and how I want the various villains to mess up the metahuman police state or something in an act of creative destruction

I loved the return of Zombies, Revenge had good songs in the first episode. Also yeah the cgi dancing looked better than last season.

wolfs posted:how much I hate Mineta That kid really is the goddamn worst. I passively watch the show via a friend of mine streaming old editions of Toonami, and every time he's on screen stream chat immediately turns into "shut up grape kid" and "gently caress off grape kid".

The Colonel posted:dont worry if mineta was gone the lovely sex jokes would just be divided up between the cast instead Which, in turn, would make everyone else worse. So, in a way, Mineta serves a useful purpose, even if he still sucks. But alas, not every Shonen Jump horndog character can be as good as Denji.

Mix. posted:It's loving baffling to me that there was literally zero interaction between our protagonist and the other woman summoned to this world (or, like. literally anything from her, period- did she even get any lines?), but again, only the beginning, so who knows. No, the other girl did not get any lines other than maybe a surprised gasp if that even counts. I don't think we've even gotten her name at this point.

chiasaur11 posted:Which, in turn, would make everyone else worse. So, in a way, Mineta serves a useful purpose, even if he still sucks. The funny thing is that Horikoshi has said he knows a lot of people don't like characters like Mineta, which is why he deliberately limits Mineta's panel time. I suspect that actually makes people hate him more, though, because he doesn't really have room for character traits other than being a horndog.

horikoshi tried giving mineta a small character arc once and it was one of the wonkiest moments in that chunk of the story cause mineta was not conceived with any purpose other than perpetuating sex jokes, so the lesson is that i'm bored of mha

Not sure if this is a Saints magic power manga spoiler or not, but just in case the manga is thoroughly unimpressive and spends most of it's time spinning it's wheels. I would suggest lowering expectations

no this isnt a budget thing the animation was an actual directive from the producer at netflix

It's humorous but kind of sucks that all the house husband adaptations decide on having terrible visual gimmicks
