Pudding otaku? You really can take an obsession too far with anything. I'm going to get diabetes just watching this.

Yea Megumi Han is killing it as Akko.
Episode 12 wasn't too bad. Signs of Trigger hopefully starting to escalate the plot. Think it was probably like the first ever "to be continued" episodes of LWA TV so far?
And I seem to remember Armin actually spells that out, in that episode...

What the hell is Japari Park? There is some weird post-apocalyptic shit going on. I'm going to make a wild guess that this library doesn't exist.

I'll admit it, AoT does have a very high entertainment value.
I bailed about 4-5 episodes in. Hated the MC so much I wanted to see him eviscerated by Titans which I felt was never on the cards.But then I generally have no interest in shonen shows like that.
Which is why Kabaneri surprised me in that I lasted the whole season. I think because I didn't hate the main characters. Also steampunk.
Samurai Jack new ep 3
jesus, this fucking show.
that whole first half was like a work of goddamn art, then the beginning of the fight in the mist was like eight levels of groundbreaking animation artistry. It was like watching an escher dream of negative space.
I also can't get over how every background looks like the kind of rough sharp-angled but solid painting style i absolutely adore

Oh so you wanted to see what basically happened all the time?
I also don't think I have it in me anymore to talk about Kabaneri so I'll just let be. For all I know our tastes share no intersection anyways.

I'll be honest if I didn't say that plot point at the end didn't diminish the whole thing for me. I'll have to let this thought marinate for a bit longer, but man did that thing disappoint me. What was otherwise a stellar show had moments ruined just because of it, and there is just no way for it to go back on that. There just isn't. Scenes that were deep, cute and endearing became creepy as all hell in retrospective. And of course, waiting until the very last episode to drop that bomb only made it worse for me.

Shingeki chuugakkou is the best. I need to buy it. Cheeseburger ftw.
She might be a fuck up but she's a well meaning fuck up dammit!

It'll probably win the AOTY award from my wife and I on our review website again. But that amounts to very little recognition

Akko is slowly improving and getting there. I feel like Diana is being set up to be a last second savior of sorts. Still in love with this show.

so you stopped....
right before that happened
this video should make you happy
don't look at the videos on the side though as they will just make you sad lol
I think it's the same as Game of Thrones. At some point you just want to see that world burn.

Sounds like I might be the odd one out here, at least this morning. I still like AoT a fair bit. I'm more excited for other things, like MHA, but I'm still interested in seeing what they do with the manga's content and if they improve some of the slower/less interesting parts of the manga.
Personally, I never liked AoT

Well, my kind of 'hype' is different, to be sure. I started AoT with the manga years ago, and I still continue it.
The anime is good with the spectacular action scenes, though as we all know it amps up a bit too much the histrionic melodrama and have some pace problems in places.
I could have 'hype' about the anime adaptation to know how they are going to adapt it from the manga in the first season, but now in the second season I just suppose they will follow their established style to a t.
But I already know all the twists and stuff

I can kinda understand with AoT though. I mean, the manga doesn't have great artwork, especially early on. It is a lot better now, but I could understand people not bothering with the manga, but getting excited with the anime.
One Punch Man though? I mean, that does have a redrawn manga for anyone dissatified with the web comic's visuals. So that surprises me.
Attack on Titan is great!
Hey man, you gotta believe! FWIW I think its too early to write off the new girl. We'll see but I'm hoping for the best obviously.
No. Samurai Jack commits the crime of making everything else shit by comparisons.
Maybe the show title should've tipped you off in regards to where things wee going to end up
I know nothing about that show.
Never go full/partial/even a tiny bit Trump
I feel AnimeGAF "enthusiasm" for AoT ended halfway through the 1st season? That bit with the boulder did the season no favors and I don't think high points like the Female Titan arc (which still had rough spots) could make up for the faults of the show in other regards.
I often think when people say "I don't like show X because the characters aren't likeable" they are using "likeable" as shorthand for all the features you are describing.
They did it before with KLK, I guess this isn't the biggest surprised

Nana ep.20
Oh Haichi, I'd tell you to keep it in your pants, but there is no way. Time to add Takumi, Yasu, Nobu, etc, etc, etc.... Which one will she choose? Or better yet, which one, won't she choose at this point, lol. Ripe harvest for sure....

She needs some lovin', that's for sure. Someone, please help out our fair maiden in need....
It's more a kind of fatigue. I like to give other series more of my time now.

Funny thing is I've been much more tolerant of AoT than OPM. I mean, OPM was kind of stale and boring IMO, but AoT has had a lot going on and has kept me engaged....
This is an episode 4 post but no mention about Tsuchinoko - are you really watching Kemono Friends????
Some brutal takes on the recent episode I fail to identify with or choose to overlook. Frankly, I'm not as bothered but it's also baffling that I seem to miss out on some of those death flags in hindsight.
Partly at least, I can't help but feel for Tekkadan's effort for a better life, keeping in mind the kind of life they've lived as "human debris" so to whatever degree I end up rooting for them even in false hope.
S2 of AoT will probably cover up to chapter 70. That's where it makes the most sense to stop. So 37 chapters.

We are supposing it will be the same number of episodes of season 1!
It will be, because then they can take time off and continue with season 3 next year, and if the manga is ending next year, that would line up just right for the anime and manga to end together in late 2018. It's at ch91 now, so if it's about 110 chapters in total, it'll fit.
Such lies.
You have my sword.
Oh you have no idea.
I'm still looking forward to attack on titan season 2 quite a bit as AoT is still a great show to me
I am just not super hyped for it because there are more than 10 shows that I am excited to check out next season... I think the last count was 15 or 17 shows that I want to watch the first episode of.
most seasons I start with only like 5-8 and drop down to 2-3 after the season starts.
I really think I will be actively watching 10+ shows next season, especially if funimation picks them up for dubs.
That seems awfully optimistic especially considering they have Kabeneri S2 next year as well.
I'm going to laugh if that ends up being true due to how absolutely stupid it is.

Sand cat was better. Matches my attention span perfectly.
It was very unfortunate and did retroactively screw with the character dynamics, but was still not enough to sour me on the series when many shows have done even worse than that, and that Rakugo didn't linger on that point besides that one scene. Still, I'd say Bon (now Sukeroku) inheriting Yakumo's name in the end was enough to drive the point home, making the other development somewhat superfluous, but I can also kind of appreciate the overly complicated character relationships as going meta on the art of rakugo itself, which from what I saw in the show works like a social satire, and thus giving some more forgiving context to that plot point in my opinion.
Ah, this is the part that truly made me hate Akko with every fiber of my being, she actually doesn't mean well and it gets everybody into trouble and has a shockingly arrogant attitude to boot.
