Why? Live action anime/manga movies happen all the time, they try and co-market with the anime like they did with Kaiji.

LOL funnily enough I checked the anime out after seeing this poster roaming around online. The show was still airing too, so I caught up and watched it until the end.

Gate ep.8
Fucking hell yeah Rory, way to put that "little girl" in her place. Sounds just like US anti military media and government officials. A little nationalistic? Hell yeah, but that is the same shit that US military (and many other national militaries) personnel deal with everyday from certain politicians that dislike the military. I'm not sure about the Japanese Diet and how they operate, but it appeared to be a pretty good representation of someone trying to push their agenda falsely and getting put in their place... hard, lol.

It's been on hiatus for a couple months already...
I might finish it at some point. I just really hate how miserable all the girls are portrayed in the series. I mean, they are all upset because they are in love with the MC and they know they aren't going to get a chance. I just finished the arc with the lolive girl coming back to earth and now it's all about Asa. I mean, you can tell where the stories going, but damn, wrong gurl, wrong girl. I was just so sad to watch, lol.

I'd like to think that Gangsta and Shimoneta would get a boost.
Maybe enough to guarantee more seasons if there's more to adapt.
But I doubt it.

Now that I completed Mazinger Z I continue my quest to watch classic mecha anime, this time with Macross. Going in I knew next to nothing about the series and am really enjoying it. I can't think of a single complaint so far the setting, characters, designs, soundtrack, and animation are all great. I am getting the same feeling watching this as I did with Gundam Zeta, there is just something about 80's animation I find so captivating.
Oh man.....wait till later on the show as the animation quality drop quite a bit. You will notice it easily. Also, wish you luck in this show. Might be one of my favorite old anime show and still love it even today.

Hear are some of my recommendations based on the shows you like and your only prerequisite:
Black Lagoon
Hellsing Ultimate
Tiger & Bunny
Trigun
Outlaw Star
The Lupin III franchise. Within the franchise I'd say watch either one of Mystery of Mamo, The Castle of Cagiostro, or The Women Called Fujiko Mine. The former two are movies and the latter is a 13 episode series.
Will the soundtrack of this version be dubsteep too?
That's a lot of titles to work through(I've only seen Champloo), thanks. I'll get back to you with some impressions.
I don't have much of a preference except I don't particularly enjoy the typical anime high school setting nor the teenage hero's journey. It's why I was apprehensive about asking originally, I know how irritating requests that mostly articulate dislikes and are vague on preferences can be, but it's all I got. That and my unconditional love for Bebop, FLCL and Ghost in The Shell.
EDIT:
Trigun was one of the first shows I've seen, it was fun. I'll check out the others. Actually, maybe I can offer a recommendation in exchange? One of my favorite sci fi books from last year was The Quantum Prince. The main character is based on Lupin from what I understand(gentleman thief).

Fate Zero might be something you would like then. Rokka is an action/mystery show currently airing, Working is a Slice if Life Comedy ( in season 3 now). A sad love story in Plastic Memories, and something completely off the rails (messed up super ecchi, mecha based trainwreck or a show, but highly entertaining) would be Cross Ange.
Most of the other stuff I watch is Romcoms and SoL stuff, which takes place in schools a lot of times (not my favorite setting either)

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Why? I literally can not see a problem here. It looks fantastic. I'm surprised visual effects in cinema have reached these height. Though it still looks good, I wonder why they decided to use a CG-based human after going through the trouble of growing a real alien. Its probably that camera effect thing they do like how they'll pour white paint instead of milk when trying to take a photo of milk pouring into cereal. In this case, a real human boy probably would have made the whole poster look cheap. I'm glad they didn't spare any expenses because the final poster turned out great.
Well that sucks to hear, but from coming off the original Mazinger I should be able to handle it. If the show keeps me as engaged as it is right now I can see it becoming a favorite of mine as well,

So Itami is a Ranger AND Special forces? Although having poor evaluation and attitude throughout his career but damn he has the bragging rights at least.
And a Ex-wife? Itami doesn't really fall into the standard boring protagainist tropes besides being a otaku although he rarely shows it.
Look at all dem poiliticians with a elf fetish.

Yeah, it's actually been really good so far.

I really enjoyed the A part of the episode as it was nice to see Miya get that focus. B part, however, was a little disappointing as it felt like it was just rounding out the edges of the related S1 episode.

Well then.
I was right about Hibiki's dad. He's complete scumbag tier. He's definitely up there I think on the Worst Dad's in Anime list. Abandons his family because he can't
He even had the gall to make Hibiki pay the food bill even though it was clear she was upset but he just doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself. I didn't detect any hints of remorse, and it seems that he doesn't necessarily think that what he did was a bad thing and is significantly downplaying the effects of what he's done to Hibiki.
As for the Autoscorer's, they elaborated a bit more on what their plans are, which is to seemingly
This later led into two fights. The first which highlighted how much of a negative effect Hibiki's meeting with her dad has had on her combat performance and it also created a schism inbetween Kirika and Shirabe which then led into the fight at the end of the episode where this was solved.
I have to say I liked the Micha vs Kirika/Shirabe fight a lot more than last episode's Galie vs Maria fight. Mainly because there was some good animation here, and the combat pace was quick and frenetic, a lot of things happened here compared to last episode's duel which was clearly due to budgetary reasons imo. The
here was great and led into the best parts of this battle which ended with that awesome combo between Kirika and Shirabe. I would make a gif of it but I'm horrible at keeping the file size down to appropriate levels but if you watch the episode you'll know what I'm talking about. One thing to note here was that Micha had a [/spoiler]transformation/boosted mode[/spoiler] of her own but it seems like her own schtick and not something that the remaining Autoscorers will do.

take the heat coming from people bullying/sending death threats to his daughter/vandalization to their home (there's actually more specifics that they didn't reveal here but I'll wait in case they elaborate more on this in future episodes).
As for the Autoscorer's, they elaborated a bit more on what their plans are, which is to seemingly
"dissect the world". Since alchemy deals with the whole assembling/disassembling thing it's clear they'll be using that in conjunction with the world's "ley lines" to do just that.

Poor Gakuto, that was a tough watch. All that work flushed down the toilet, lol. Shimbo the bimbo also needs a beat down for being a douche. Looks like next week is gonna be the true showdown with the Underground Council.

The fact that the MC breaks so many LN protagonist molds is one reason why I'm enjoying this so much. That or anime plots have been so one note as of late that I'm immediately attracted to anything not staring a teenager in high school.
Depends. Why did you initially drop it?

Because the MC was another Otaku that is magically all powerful and can fight, and because I saw the harem of girls on the poster. I saw the premise as:
Otaku guy that is in the military only for the money to buy more anime goes to lala-land to fight a war against other-dimensional enemies and finds the girls that he once thought were only in his shows. Tons of harem situations ensue.
Now I would love to be told that i was wrong and that i judged the show way too fast because of 1 episode only, but considering how I already had 11 other shows to check out, I dropped it there and then.

Not even close to this so far, lol. Well, other than Rory sitting on his lap on purpose, but, you will find out more about her later, lol. I think maybe the elf girl might like him, but nothing in the story on it at all.
No shipping, no harem, no otaku crap other than some jokes earlier in the series.
It's completely different than I went in expecting, let's put it that way, lol.
The harem antics have been remotely non existent to this point. Instead of harem schlock, is seems more like military propaganda at this point since the war is so one sided and the JSDF do no wrong. However, the premise and protagonists aren't something we see often in anime, and the action and characters (both soldiers and other world residents) are interesting enough for the show to be a good watch. I hear it gets worse as it goes along, but luckily we haven't gotten to that point yet. I'd say check out at least until episode 4 to see if you're interested.

Hmm interesting. I may give the series a shot again then. I guess I judged it way too quickly. In a way it's good if i like it, since I'll be able to binge it next week. It is also a 2-cour if I remember correctly.
Ok l'll tell you. You were dead wrong to assume to premise and watch only the first episode to give a quick judgement. Alot of people enjoy the show because of the one sided slaughter,culture shock and also because MC went against the standard expectations of what people like you who thought what he would be. He have never shown any interest to any of the girls nor got into any typical situations which is hardly in it.
Cornbread78
Member
I didn't even notice it was 2-cour until you said that... Sweet, something that I can definitely watch this fall if it stays on the path it's on.
Not that it matters that much, but MAL does not list it as harem or romance at all, so..
