At least they released it on DVD... Except for the graduation OVAs...

Oh yeah, they did do that, didn't they?

Whenever they get around to releasing the BD of this, I wonder if they'll include the OVAs or release them separately? Most of their Hidamari BDs have the OVAs included, though SP was done as a separate release.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Guess they'll do it separately if they also plan to release on DVD, just like they didn't include SP even if they could on BD.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

so there's apparently an anime in the new season about a moe girl who has the hots for One Punch Man wearing a newsboy cap? LMAO

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

March Comes in Like a Lion is getting a second season in October, as announced at today's conclusion of the first.

Cool, the show really came into its own in the latter half.

But I guess ZOKU-OWARI NEVER

I wouldn't put it past Sentai to do that. With Crunchyroll's partnership with Funimation taking up many of the titles they would normally try and grab, they probably want to pad out their release schedule as much as they can.

I can't remember the last time I've seen an anime that leans so heavily into deliberately rough yet flexibly loose animation. The Milky Holmes movie, maybe, though that doesn't have as much actual animation as there is here. Amazing.

Normally you wouldn't expect the animation in the show itself to match or even exceed the really good stuff from the OP but boy oh boy have you seen nothing yet.

I'd love for the original show to be subbed, especially since this one draws so much from it.

 

[names2hard4you]

With the wrap up of the season happening soon I must say, this was one heck of a season start. The top 3 shows are easily AOTY material already, with Konosuba 2, Scum's Wish and the brilliant second season of Rakugo. Not to mention Sangatsu's super strong second half and Maid Dragon which managed to surprise me a great lot, didn't think I would have enjoyed it as much as I did. 2017 had a strong start.

Aikatsu Stars 48

Lots of good character development here. Lily and Yuri cheering for each other, Laura getting cold feet, Yuzu being excited at her best friend standing with her, it's the kind of satisfaction you can only get from a long-running series.

Spoiler

Yuri would be a serious contender in any other class, but with Song Class as crowded as it is, she's the joke character. It was pretty obvious Lily wasn't going to win thanks to her beginning thoughts. And her low score for being on top. At least she has her brand as a consolation prize. Heh on Yuzu being more upset at Lily's loss. I wasn't pulling for Laura at first, but she had a good turnaround at the last second and an awesome dress. Old songs for both of them, but the dances were updated appropriately, and it shows. Laura's score is kind of low, so it's obvious Yume is going to stomp her and join S4. Beating Hime however, that's a different story.

Suite Precure 4

On the left, you can see Kanade's mother. No I still can't believe this is her mother 5 years later.

We get to witness first hand some Team Rocket esque shenanigans where somehow she didn't realize Trio de Minor were in disguises, considering they just changed clothes. Ellen is capable of shapeshifting, but she has a fatal flaw for those.

I think Hibiki's love for Kanade's cakes is a reason why their friendship didn't completely sink, given she deliberately swiped cake from her during their rocky times. She also essentially proposed to Kanade, in which she reciprocated those feelings.

sounds like a true successor to star wars episode 3 when it comes to bad space drama dialogue

 

[phaze]

Started reading 3-Gatsu no Lion's manga since the anime is about to end, really impressive how much Shaft managed to stretch out the source material. They managed to stretch out only 4.5 (closer to 4.33 but whatever) volumes worth of content into 22 episodes without adding much filler.

Unless they skipped some, they got more than 2 chapters per ep which sounds like sizeable enough amount of content.

3-Gatsu No Lion 22 END

Good to hear S2 is coming. This episode is a good send off as it is, the last half being a bout of self introspection and summary of what transpired but with the last major arc being focused on Shimada, it's hard to escape the feeling this story is still in its middle if that.


Konosuba 10 END

Really great finale. Hopefully all those who do not acknowledge Aqua as best girl and goddess will now, after being so categorically proven wrong forever keep their heads down in shame and their breasts free of pads.

This was really a wholesale improvement over the S1. While I think the high point laughs wise came in the early episodes for me, the rest kept to a certain level and improvements on presentation front were at times gargantuan. Was worth going through the previous season for this.

That line is anime as fuck

 

[Admiral Woofington]

So will they call the 3-gatsu sequel, 6-gatsu?

That line is anime as fuck

the whole game is essentially 'badly produced anime the space video game'

There's a scene one of your party members is shooting a dead body and you tell him to stop, and he awkwardly turns around and shoots him again and goes 'THERE I FEEL BETTER'

Took that line from a shitty B movie.

it's going to be glorious.

No, they covered only the first 45 chapters in 22 episodes (certain things like the Cat Shogi and the Shogi match's themselves they managed to stretch out greatly time to page wise) so they pretty much did 2 chapters per episode. And 3-Gatsu is a 15-20 page long per chapter manga (though it is a in a monthly magazine) that isn't really that word heavy.

This is Hibiki's mom. It is much more believable than Kanade's mother.

But we have more fighting this episode, it it sort of feels off kilter in comparison to the last two episodes. Fighting which of course, makes them look like goobers, the best goobers.

Trio de Minor finally get some unique lines, a starting point for them to go beyond simply being Siren's troupe.

If you mean Tri, then I'd say its leans too heavily on nostalgic fanservice to be worth it unless you're a die-hard Digimon fan. The plot has been pretty bad so far, and the animation is so cheap I can't understand how they aired it in cinemas in Japan. It releasing in multi-episode parts every couple months also means you'll be stuck with cliffhanger after cliffhanger until they eventually get to the final part.

To elaborate, it feels like it would've benefitted from being a multi-cour series rather than a bunch of movies, since the plot and character developments in each arc tend to feel overly rushed in order to try and wrap them up in the same four-episode batch they're introduced in. Like, the latest batch had

Zelda has easily become my "okay where are we gonna go and what are we gonna do today" type of game. No HUD, very aimless, I just do things as they come. Nier I am probably going to play just like I did Horizon, as a fairly straight forward experience for the plot. When Persona drops, my life is coming to a halt with all games, and that will most likely be the only thing I play for quite some time.

I have Digimon. I had it delivered while I was on vacation, but before even playing it, I went to the store to pick up Yakuza 0. Put maybe 4 hours into Digimon, ended up prioritizing Yakuza instead (which I feel like was a great idea). Given how busy it is gaming wise, I'm not too sure if I'll return to Digimon.

Suite Precure 6

More new characters, Souta and Ako, who are important in their own ways. Souta gives Hibiki another aspect into how she views her own home life. Also it shows us Kanade's family life. Honestly this was the episode that firmly sqaured Kanade behind Hibiki for me, because she seems overly hostile to her brother. I mean, it sort of also gives that feel that Kanade starts a lot of the issues between her and Hibiki as well.

Hibiki certainly feels like fresh air when you're stuck with a pink lead who doesn't really have any major issues compared to other people. I think she's closer to the top for me when ranking the pinks, but enough of that.

Ako is also kind of a prick. I mean I swear, every prominent girl here is kind of.... mean and standoffish in a way, it's kind of funny. Ellen has an excuse since she's a villian at least.

Amazingly though, despite Kanade needing to reach out to her brother, it is ultimately Hibiki's feelings that prevails to grant her the Miracle Birther. Normally I would consider yelling PINK PRIVILEGE, but I think it just highlights more that Hibiki is cooler.
