I do admire the attention to detail on display.

It's actually fairly notable when you go back and rewatch the episode.
Stuff like some of the background classmates not being in color, in that they're grey and so, dead. They also do quick pan over the school yard and cut it short because it would give away too much but the way people are positioned in the very fast segment is abnormal.

Maria the Virgin Witch shows a fairly accurate representation of the era, especially coming from a Japanese mangaka.

Of course there are some glaring mistakes, the biggest one I can find being that the roof of the Sistine Chapel painted by Michaelangelo was painted decades after the Hundred Years War, yet when it is shown it is already fully completed and covered in soot as if it had been there for a hundred years. It does good in other areas, though. Warfare I remember being pretty accurate.

The called the French army "Imperial" in the first episode.

Absolutely disgusting.

Arcadius too huh? RIP

That song is so untrue though. Everyone important left Harlan alive.
 
Guess that explains the insane amount of dog food they were giving him. Dead men/animals don't need to ration.

I don't believe the dog is dead if I remember the manga right, since no one else would of reacted to the dog if it was dead and yet they all chased it. Then again they did change the fact that Miki was not originally part of the original cast, she only joined them later so who knows what they else they might of changed.

RIP sister route. I love seeing Takeo goofy face. That's enough reason for me to watch this.
Yup, Takeo is awesome, but maaaan, nee-san

Yamato was a mistake.


Rokka no Yuusha 1

Oh, i like this one. That some cool action scene. My minor complaint will be that exposition and Ardlet "the strongest guy in the world" thing. Yes, we get it, you're the best, numero uno, the sugoiest desu.

Someone said it goes towards a more mystery style, so I'm excited to see where the story is headed, even if it was quite stupid in the first episode. But yeah, that fight scene was enough to make me give it 3 episodes, resourceful characters are the best.

Man....people are getting banned here. Thanks god I am not into recent anime show and slowly going though my anime collection. Getting closer to finish You're under arrest season 1 tv series. Loving it still. I guess I might be lucky not to get shot down here for now.

Just avoid getting riled up about what other members post, and avoid anything sexual and you'll be fine. It isn't that hard.

People thought we were joking about Anime GAF being doomed, we were not.

I guess people get too sensitive here for certain show which is normal. As AnimeGaf been doomed, I won't commented about it as really this is something I pay attention here. Kinda in a bubble of my own watching my Anime collection right now. For the newer anime here, I will let it slide as I am at that age where trying to watch newer anime isn't something I will get myself into unless something literally caught my attention or if it's Gundam relative (even Gundam, I didn't watch any recent Gundam show since 00 except 1st episode of Unicorn).

Arcadius got banned? It's not a perm, is it?

Huh? The grey reaper got to Arcadius? Didn't see that coming

Avatar is gone too. Is he really gone for good?

Avatar disappearing is just a bug when people get banned, doesn't indicate a perm.

Now this thread is just shit.


Seriously, WTF happened? Did he post an inappropriate pic or something?

Has anyone seen or heard anything on that one? Very interesting premise there..
Hah, Branduil was one of the first to have said he watched it way back when.

Yeah, it's basically what's on the cover in terms of its shoujey premise.

Doesn't smut air at like 1 a.m. on a cable channel or something?
It's not smut that airs late, it's like 95% of all anime that airs late.

Seriously, WTF happened? Did he post an inappropriate pic or something?
Apparently.

Gotta love a Ryuunosuke's episode...and damn I thought the mom yokai
was the one stealing food not that it was a mother to everyone. That end.

I have. It has a lot of heart even if the little girl gets annoying near the later episodes. It also has a surprisingly great romantic story side plot. It's like Usagi Drop, except you can continue the story with the manga and it WON'T ruin everything!

Sigh. Well it nice knowing you AnimeGAF.

I hope SonicGAF isn't too dead when I return to it.

Now this thread is just shit.

If it's for a month then that means he's made his final post in AnimeGAF.

People thought we were joking about Anime GAF being doomed, we were not.

This stuff really doesn't help the community. All it does is scare people away from posting, and for new members, from trying altogether.

I have no idea what's going on. I swear, like half the time I wander into this thread, someone's banned and everyone's like "oh shit!" and I have no idea why. Can't y'all behave?
 
You know what else is symbolic ? A certain show that begins with letter "T".

Colour me fairly impressed with this so far. And when I say fairly I mean "really".

To be fair I only watched SNAFU first because I've been holding it off and I don't have to mentally prepare myself lol

Texhnolhicantspellthiscrap is next. And don't worry I'll watch it. It IS happening

I am curious, have people actually said this, like on Twitter or something?

No, but I can say from my own experience that it really hurts my will to post anything in here. It's usually ignored by almost everyone for whatever thing people feel like complaining about today, whether it be Hyouka or bans or whatever. Good conversation is healthy, fear-mongering is not.

But, well, enough about that. I'm going off topic. I should be getting back to watching something anyway.

Gangsta-2
One think I was impressed by was the character animation during the sign language. I assume they had to research it before they did the animations and I'm assuming they're replicating the language accurately. It's apparent they are putting a lot of attention to that part of the show and it helps make the work somewhat unique.

Parts of the episode were well animated and others weren't. The production values aren't going to be winning any awards but so far it hasn't been a drag on the production compared to Classroom Crisis.
 
Assassination Classrom 20 Dub

The writing of this series is just excellent, even the jokes end up allowing for significant character growth or foreshadowing of future plot points. Karma's fight in particular was both great to watch and great for the development of his character same with Nagisa's forced cross dressing scene. It probably doesn't hurt that Nagisa is voiced by a women as she was able to flip between feminine sounding Nagisa and the characters regular voice more naturally then I've seen in most other series.

I didn't really think that making a joke about how the thread would be locked because of all the smut airing would be that upsetting to people.

If it is, I'm sorry, but I don't really know what more to say. People have been making these sorts of jokes in these threads for years.

Guys, this isn't complicated.

It's really, really easy to not get banned, both as an individual and as a community. MangaGAF has existed in a giant sea of lewdness for years without getting banned. You just have to be able to think like a normal person for five seconds. You don't have to panic like a bunch of Chicken Littles any time an ecchi show airs.

The hand-wringing makes the community look worse than any individual ban, because it makes it look like we collectively have no idea how to go a week without posting something unfit for decent people.

It's become a lot more common in the last few months.

This is the only post I want to make on the subject, since I don't want to derail the thread with meta-talk.

I will also note that behind the joke is some truth considering what happened to other communities and people still getting banned for lewdness.

I just watched School-Live!

What the fuck?

That sums it up:

As someone else mentioned, little things like Nicolas moving the moment Worick turns his back on him while talking so he can still read his lips make it quite a bit unique. It makes a much bigger difference when it comes to character interactions and body language than I thought it would. I was expecting it to be used just as the neat little twist in Episode 1, and then mostly ignored, but thankfully it doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm really into Gangsta, I hope it gets more seasons instead of an anime original ending. Unless the manga turns to shit later on and the original ending is good, in which case I wouldn't mind.

I'll probably read it anyway once the anime is done.

Oh good, I can stop being passive aggressive now. ;p

Buckle up, you're in for one hell of a ride. The story isn't much, but the visuals... my god.

They managed to make the rivalry of the two leads feel tense and impactful in a very short time frame so I'm hoping it won't drop the ball in the story department either !

Yoooo at that garden grave. RIP.

Goddamn
the attention of detail. That quote on the Blackboard.....

"I enjoyed studying with everyone.
Let's study together again.
But it done not come all true at all."

"All is in darkness in the past.
Please don't throw me away.
Help me."

The random hallway blockade, the broken window, and the Stephen King book. Oh lawd props to Studio Lerche for doing a great job. Moe suffering is happening.

I'm definitely continuing this show, it's looking good.
 
Gangsta 2

Yup, mediocre or not in other's eyes I am digging this. Today's episode was awesome, and the world building continues with what seems to be a ranking for these individuals. Looking forward to seeing more of Nico's past too.

Too many trolls, send help pls.
Ryoko is a marvelous troll, and her stageman are fucking good if they can hide that truck tranporting the lamp but Ataru gets the better side of the deal playing with the girls like if he was a dog.
This episode is a cautionary tale about being wary of beatiful womanAtaru.
