Autumn Anime 2017 |OT| Makes us all rotten

Juni Taisen has my interest still after episode 2. It looks pretty, has good music and animation. That's already enough to keep me in! Plus it has some elements of mystery kind of, though some things are extremely obvious. Pretty sure someone will die every episode, and the viewer clearly knows this.
 
Kino's Journey - the Beautiful World - 01

I never finished the original, but it wasn't because I disliked it or anything. I just had some stuff go on in my life around that time. This episode reminds me of why I liked it so much though. My kind of show, I'll definitely finish this one.

Black Clover getting 51 episodes whilst anime much more superior to it rarely get more than 12/13 would make me angry.
This was obvious, why do you think it got the push it has with Studio Pierrot animating it. Relative long form was to be expected.
 
Evil or Live 01

This is the dumbest, edgiest shit I have seen in anime in at least several years. The instructors looking like the NTR doujin dudes that fuck your girlfriend, the headmistress looking like a dominatrix for the NTR dude instructors, a school where they beat the mentally ill to make them better people. Yeah because that works. I swear to god I fully expect some episode where the head instructor and headmistress are caught banging each other and some of the male students try to rape the female students because that's how try hard, edgy and gross this show feels.

Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken 01

Yea this was exactly what I thought it would be. Curious to see how he pulls a harem when he already has a girlfriend.

Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau 01

Man this was a pretty show and the world they've shown thus far is incredible to me. I'm looking forward to the adventure.

Wasn't Twin Star Exorcists lauded for looking and moving great despite being generic.


Deliberately avoided AnoHana over that aspect of it, I will continue to do so.... >___>


I like TSE despite some of the obvious issues. I'm not sure about 51 episodes of Asta's annoying af VA though...



Oh and you need to watch Anohana! Stop putting it off; it's SO worth it...

Boruto 28

This is almost cool. Pissed off the "I'm a violent murder and aim to kill" guy let the guy who was implied to be murdered actually live. Boruto also gets his ass beat but then still wants to do everything on his own. Calm down there kid you are like 11. There is no way he should be able to fight any of these people but I'm expecting some kind of BS.
 
I mean, I wouldn't exactly say they have a good track record when it comes to their adaptions lately.

Not sure entirely what you're referring to, but Pierrot isn't a monolithic entity with the same people making the decisions for all of their productions. The anime the studio makes vary widely in production values depending on the people making it - just this season they span the gamut from Osomatsu-san to Dynamic Chord - and it is able to provide animation highlights on a regular basis for long-running shows such as Boruto. That Pierrot often makes long-running anime is because it is one of relatively few studios who have the production pipeline and experience to be capable of making them. So if production companies want to make a daytime anime that will last for a while, Pierrot is a logical choice to contract with.
 
Tbh I don't even think Shonen Jump has the next big Shonen series or king.

Nothings gonna trump One Piece or even Naruto in terms of sales at Jump. Although Haikyuu sells really well for them, but its a sports manga. Then again all they need are consistent sellers because One Piece is their cash cow.

Edit: Although I could see Promised Neverland seeing how strong its manga sales are even without an anime.

That's what I've been saying - with the timeslot Black Clover is airing in, at least a year in length is most likely.

Oh yeah so it does, I hadn't realised that Black Clover airs in the evening in Japan. I've become so used to virtually every anime I watch airing in the middle of the night Japan time, when any normal person is in bed, that I came to automatically assume that Black Clover aired then too, but it's clearly targeting a very different audience to what the other anime I watch targets, so yeah, the 51 episodes thing makes sense now.

I didn't realize the Shimoneta light novels ended last year. The anime and manga were both really well received, yet the popularity seemed to die out really fast. Did something happen?

It, along with KonoSuba are both my favorite guilty pleasures.

Ann's VA died :(

I looked up who that was, and it turns out she voiced Kuuko from Nyaruko-san too. While I'm not a huge fan of the show, I did like her performance in that. That's really sad, I had no idea...

She was a really talented voice actress. She'll be missed.

This is Asta's VA's first role?

It's why the Cold Steel dub is better than the original :p

Hard work went into that. The first few lines in the original dub were ... bad. Voice actors grew a lot in these roles. Redoing voice lines and adding new ones for the PC version turned out great.

Yeah, I don't know the original, but the dub of the PC version is fantastic.
 
King's Game, Episode 2 - So it didn't take long for one of the characters to immediately have a heel turn and actively try to fuck over the rest of their classmates.
