What? There's another one?
New?
It's impossible to know if it is senseless if you have no insight into why the decision was made.
A Kemono Friends sequel without its director makes about as much sense as someone making an Undertale sequel without Toby Fox or a mainline Touhou game without ZUN.

Or a mainline Metal Gear Solid game without Kojima.
There is not some kind of irreplaceable tone or voice to Kemono Friends. It's pretty boilerplate stuff and the idea that there is some kind of creative genius behind it is sort of just laughable. Good creative use of limited resources....but what else can you really say? Maybe he was wrongfully fired but we don't really know, and it's not some kind of death knell for the series if they want to move forward.
Actually SAO was garbage from the start, they just tricked us in thinking it was any good.
GGO was the worst tho.
I mean, it's a trite concept ever since they can't die in games anymore. That was the entire hook!
Also before Tumblr became an unbrowsable mess.
The anime took a dead franchise and turned it into a social phenomenon. The director did the direction, storyboarding, designed the 3D models, and wrote the plot. It was obviously his passion project and there is no way it would have been nearly as successful as it was without his involvement.

Danganronpa V3 Prologue
The localization seems pretty good so far. They even say jabroni like 7 times.

Someone really loved animating drunks.
(Also: I didn't realize there was a BD version of this until just now, but boy does it look bad. This show was not made to be watched in HD.)

The tragedy of early 2000s digital anime. T_T

HxH (2011) ep.5-7
Even though it was obvious what was going to happen, the ball fight was a fun scene.... at least Gon got what he wanted through utter defeat, lol.
This show is doing a good job at keeping me interested on these characters and what they are doing. The Jester dude is truly a total dick!

it bodes well if you are already interested as the episodes you are watching are some of the worst in the series.

Hey, I just feel like it's something worth posting.
Whenever I saw someone talk about Rah Xephon back in my early AnimeGAF days, the Evangelion comparisons were all over the place.

Claymore, Episdoes 1-7 - So before my Funimation Subscription expires, I figured I'd finally watch this series since I know it's not on the VRV catalog. So far it's pretty solid. Clare and Raki make a pretty solid duo, with Raki being the helpless child but never quite crossing the annoying threshold. Interesting how after episode 4, it almost immediately jumps into Clare's backstory with little warning, though it does explain why she has such a soft spot for Raki.
It's like slice of life magical realism. Can't go wrong checking out the first ep. What you see is basically what you get from there on.

I'm pretty sure some of its details about RahXephon aren't correct, though - like how they've interpreted RahXephon's final scene backwards in order to make a link that wasn't there.

Chi's Sweet Adventure - END - Chi is just as cute and just as sweet as ever, and this season had a lot of my favorite episodes. The longer episode length probably helped with that. Also, Perfume's Nee made the opening one of the few OPs I watched more than once, and even a few times just on its own. I require more Chi!
Ronja the Robber's Daughter - END - You know, there were spot where they hinted at a few darker possibilities, a few chances for some tragedy, maybe some deeper explorations of the world. But nah. Ended up disappointed.
Fashion Lala: Harbor Light Story - This on the other hand. This has pretty dresses and disco, and doesn't make any sense, so I like it. Which I guess means I need to watch the Fancy Lala TV series.
Abunai Sisters - END - This I also liked. Laughed every episode. What can I say!

This was a weird episode; felt like there were connecting bits missing that should have been there. It was especially weird for Ayato to make a big deal out of not fighting at the beginning but then abruptly reverse his position by the end without any obvious motivation. The stylized flashback sequences dealing with Kim's loss of her parents were well directed, however.

I really enjoyed it at the time, but admittedly it's been so long since I saw the show originally that I can't remember a ton. I think I may do a rewatch at some point to see how it holds up to me now.
yeah I might have to do a rewatch as well.
I recall liking it better than eva but I can't recall why lol.
the movie is garbage though I remember that clearly.

Ichiko Hashimoto's soundtrack is pretty great, yeah.
JC Staff doing OPM S2. It will be fine people
I'm more worried that the sound director also did Berserk 2017. But they also did Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, so who knows.

And Jojo TV, Girls und Panzer, Konosuba, Thunderbolt Fantasy, etc., etc. Most sound directors are super-prolific and aren't going to ensure any kind of consistent sound direction quality across the multitude of anime they work on.

If Mizushima was the director I wouldn't be worried at all.
But he's not.
First thing I heard of this was that he did Berserk, but I guess people tend to make things sound worse than they actually are.

Ako still best idol. She knows how to handle even the bratty kids. Too bad she's the joke character. Elza sure pampers Kirara, giving her a private jet right after she had to be flown back to her. Then again she's the only one who gets results, so she's earned it. Caroline is going to murder someone someday. Yay, we finally got an Ako/Kirara performance. I guess Ako is sticking with FuwaFuwa Dream. Double muse huh. Well Kirara officially gets her new toy while Ako will not have more opportunities to destroy Kirara, so it fits. Or they could just be friends, but who wants that?

Is this weeks Made in Abyss episode going to be that longer special? And if so, was it 40 or 60mins?
I would be worried. He's supposed to be stuck on GuP the Final for years!
