yeah endless 8 is grating.
that being said it's why i recommend 1,2 the end of 7 and 8 as it's still grating but you basically get the full experience that way lol.
in a way it's supposed to make you feel like nagato.
in another way I don't want to feel like nagato
but yeah the movie is solid and why I recommend just watching the whole thing in chronlogical order as season 2 is even worse if you just watch it on its own and the movie is a fine finish so you don't need to slide the climax of season 1 to the end of season 1 to have a good overall finish.
Oh man. I remember experiencing all of Endless Eight. People here kept telling me to get through it. And I did. And then I watched School Days right after.
Is AnimeGAF a bully...?
That's the general feeling toward the show. Still a really sold show all and all.
I think so.
I don't think I have ever told anyone to watch all of endless eight unless they hate themselves lol.

Everyone told me to watch it all, but I did the smart thing and just watched the last few mins of each episode..

Pfft. You can enjoy spotting the small differences!
Good on you. I watched all of endless eight by my own volition, thinking it must all mean something, or there will be some sort of payoff.
Except for one episode in the middle being the best directed version of the event, it was not worth it at all.
I did not. If I said anything I warned you... though I think i might have gotten so confused at what order you were watching i might have just not said anything more lol.
No that won't be Amazon's end game because anime is so far off Amazon's radar it's barely a side quest. That would certainly be Crunchyroll's end game though. Right now they're in a position where in a few years they will be worth so much less than they ever were. So getting bought out by a big company and being able to pocket the cash while you still have value is a pretty good end game.
Touken Ranbu Episode 3
It's amazing how dull this is other than some pretty visuals. There is like no semblance of character or plot progression. The enemy is just a faceless generic unit. It isn't charming or funny enough to get laughs. I should probably stop watching it. Phone game adaptations are a mistake.

Yeah, one of the glaring flaws about this is that it gets fetishy about little kids naked bodies. Seems like the anime tones it down a bit (so far). Lord knows I had a heart attack when I came across that "naked punishment" scene when I was reading it at work lol

7O3X Episode 3
Can we get Mikuriya and Koshiyama on the same team before the anime ends, this is too good.
I just wish they didnt ask the obligatory agatha christie, chopin, etc questions. Also I hope it gets an engdub since there does seem to be emphasis in the reading of the questions.

Why bother, just starve CR of new licenses.
Well then you didn't get the emotional impact they were going for.

The thing is Crunchyroll is already owned by a big company (AT&T) as a subsidiary of Otter Media. So I doubt they're looking to be bought up by a different big company at this point in time.

I need something new to watch.
The last few anime I've watched and loved have been:
Ping Pong the Animation
Yuri on Ice
My Hero Academia (which I can barely tolerate... growing very tired of this sort of shounen)
Jojo
Mob Psycho 100
Parasyte
Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou

Does this spoil a whole lot of Berseria or is it safe to watch to the end without having finished that game?

Sounds like you need to watch Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
From recent stuff, you might want to check out Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and Konosuba. Also, The Eccentric Family got a second season, another good show.

I mean...if they have literally nothing better to do...
I listened to AnimeGAF... to my own peril on both counts.
The only enjoyable part of it all. And being able to "brag" that you watched all of Endless Eight.
Oh trust me... I know exactly what they were going for.

G-Guys, I... I think Cornbread might have me on ignore.
The Tale of Zesty Anime does spoil a lot of Berseria, don't watch it before you play Berseria. Also, Tales of Berseria is pretty awesome, way better than Zesty and one of the best Tales games IMO.

Hmmm I'll wait to finish that series up then, the Berseria intro/ad episode tempted me into buying the game and I'm really enjoying it so I'll wait until that's done

Sorry man, I'm in a soccer board meeting, lol.
There are various spoilers throughout and I did spoil myself on some major plot points along the way, but not enough to ruin the Berseria experience. I just stopped at ep.11, because they started getting very specific and I was nearing the end of Berseria at the time..
Tl;dr: yeah, play Berseria first...

new game has a lot of subtle lewd

A lot of subtle yuri as well, but it's a fun show, so it's all good.

Subtle great, very good.
New Game just uses a group of all four of the "main" voice actors on all of its opening and ending sequences. So on top of them being pretty plain (if not bad) they are also just repetitive. The VA talent on this show is not there to begin with so I mean....when they ask them to do four opening and endings this is the obvious result. It's not like they even try to make them fun or interesting, and the visual theming on the newest ED is just lazy chibi junk.

That is indeed some amazing work on that banner BGBW! Top job on the OT Cornbread78!It was great to get some decent links on the combat system as to be frank it's tutorial screens commit that old JRPG sin of both being too dense to get and too short to explain. So bummed I'm at a conf. in Las Vegas right now, not really a fan of the town and I'm missing both Berseria and the damn Destiny 2 beta D:

So, uh, anything good this season? Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu seems alright (great art, great action scenes), aside from that I'm not sure what to watch.

Try watching anime outside this season.
Like Barakamon. I know its helping me catch up on things.
Nothing new that is exceptional. Some okish stuff if you are into that kind of thing. Am liking the Ballroom and Diving sports shows so far (a surprise given I normally avoid sports and dropped the skating one early last year). The Yokai show is OKish, though a poor mans Natsume. Am also OK with Love & Lies, Princess Principal and Tzurezure Children. I think I'm worn out of Restaurant to Another World already.
Then there's sequels and leftrovers (New Game++, Recreators and Virgin Soul, with *mongatari to come).
You forgot one more thing. Butchering of source material.

Something that won't go noticed - rightfully since good editing rarely is - is how good the j and l cuts are in Ballroom. The dialogue flows excellently throughout and the end of each episode ends up sneaking up on me rather quickly due to how invested in the whole thing I am. Honestly, most of what Production I.G. does has really fantastic editing. I wonder if they have only a couple of editors who they monopolize to work on each series.
In terms of story, depictions of certain scenes or possessing a style different from the source, this is actually what one would want out of anime in some cases but doesn't happen as much.
Case in point, the recent discussion surrounding Made in Abyss. Some time ago, /XX/ pointed out about Kare Kano and Anno's choices conflicting with the author to a point that he had to leave production midway.
Shirobako's episode 23 nails this as well.
Some might I guess. Treatment of the source material was one reason I bailed, though I was more concerned about reading future books unsullied. Though I guess worse would have been the shonen approach making unending seasons of filler whilst the books are being written.

Its very rare to find anime with very strong female characters and good writing though

Things are heating up, the first two seasons were lukewarm but I'm starting to really enjoy this show. These pretzels are making me thirsty.
