Some goon asked for help ID'ing an anime in the previous version of this thread.

Solitair posted:

My roommate just asked me about an anime that he's been looking for that he saw in high school. He knows it aired on Funimation, and guesses the original air date to be from 2009-2011. From what he told me, it's about an internet troll guy who meets a girl who can pull swords from another dimension, at one point doing so from a wall. He's trying to learn how to do the same thing, since he has that as a buried ability; he wrongly thinks it's a property of a sword he owns, but in reality that sword is a fake. I don't know anything about it beyond that.

So from here on out, Julias will be the 2nd mod of ADTRW.

I'm aware that, all things considered, ADTRW is a relatively relaxed part of the forums, but having an additional mod would probably aid in keeping it that way. Thanks for accepting and here's to you, Julias! :cheers:

Peace and love to you all in 2020.

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what's going on because I just woke up to all of this and, again, my reaction is something among the lines of trying to make sense of all this without feeling like my brain just took a poo poo and died.

So no, I had no clue that this whole shebang was going on.

Yeah, Gravity Falls kinda floundered in the last part of the second season, but it still has a mecha battle! And even has that good old-school tradition of playing the opening song in full/a different version during a badass confrontation in the last episodes!

Anyone who doesn't like sports has to fight me irl. There are so many sports that you cant hate them all
On the bigger Ball/puck-centric sports:
  • Basketball, Hockey, Volleyball and Gridiron-style Football are alright.
  • Association football is fun to play but it bores me to death to watch it. Sorta the same with baseball.
  • Don't care about cricket or lacrosse.
  • Rugby is like watching a horror movie that's so cheesy you can't look away, so I'll give it that.

Shiki for thriller/horror is pretty good. Chaika for action is a fun romp. And at 2 cours (22 episodes for both series, in this case), neither overstays its welcome.

Akanesasu is a good choice cause it's really good and just got ignored cause Zombieland, Gridman and Bloom were same season
To be fair, those 3 shows were also really good/entertaining.

It's similar to what happened to Blast of Tempest on Fall 2012/Winter 2013: It went against Psycho-Pass' 1st season, the Pet Girl of Sakurasou, motherfucking Jojo and From the New World, not to mention the (admittedly weakest one of its bunch, but still incredibly popular) Fairy Dance arc of Sword Art Online, even though the show itself is pretty boss.

It depends from case to case. For example, the current anime wandering around Netflix jail Dorohedoro got officially announced when the last chapter came out in the second half of 2018, but then the trailers didn't start pouring until October of last year.

Also I think we had gotten an announcement like in May 2018 or something that the "Anime Planning Committee" had formed.

If I'm not misremembering completely (which I might be), the top two guys of Type-Moon basically confirmed that El-Melloi is canon and directly leads to the original recipe F/SN's beginning, but because it contradicts Fate/Zero in a couple of things, Zero got relegated to "alternate timeline" or some other shenanigan of that ilk. And again, I might be misremembering, but the explanation for the apprentice girl's face basically boils down to the fact that that Takeuchi (one of the aforementioned top two Type-Moon's guys) really liked that one drawing and said "gently caress it, I really like that one character's face".

Which tbh is as good a reason as any to create characters.

Wark Say
Feb 22, 2013

Yeah, and honestly, I like that "gently caress it, I like this character's design, so imma re-use it" attitude.

Like I find lore hella interesting, but I want my entertainment to be, well, entertaining. You can tell me that X or Y band did a concept album about one of the Houses of Wisdom (a subject which is my loving jam), but if the music isn't at least 1/4 as rad as Gorguts' concept EP on the matter, then yeah, pass.

it has like 30 characters so at a baseline they just don't write 1/4 of them and all-but kill those people off (lol) and then the remaining ones still have to fight for screentime to have arcs or anything interesting. it's also a story that centers around two of the least interesting characters in that cast both in terms of their arc and what action they're involved in.

however

i think the action is great, the characters who do stand out can buoy the watching experience despite lackluster leads, and also the music is good
Also, it has a fairly good latin-american dub.
