Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Watching Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio Ars nova and it is a very good show. Acchi Kocchi is so funny it leaves me laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Boat Girls and their Admiral! Arpeggio of Blue Steel was waaaaaay better than it had a right to be, and I genuinely love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Driver Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Agreed. I enjoyed Arpeggio of Blue Steel as well. At least it didn't do boat girls the same way as Kantai Collection... Edited December 19, 2017 by Valkyrie Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, it has a distinct lack of a Kirishima prone to melodramatic spectacles and turning into a children's toy. ... Look, all I'm saying is Arpeggio Kirishima is best boat bear.

Kantai was based on the designs from the game, besides the interesting parts of the Kantai girls aren't in their physical designs, but in personalities quirks. As for the anime story it has an interesting twist in the later half for the historians. But yes Arpeggio has way better ship girls, especially since they make sense on all levels instead of just one.

Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) I finished Shakugan no Shana season 1 and this show is awesome loved every minute of it. I am on to season 2, I thought I would need a break after it finished. I just want to see what happens next. My Clannad and After Story complete collection just arrived Edited December 19, 2017 by Hikaru Ichijo SL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Speaking of anime BDs, All the Anime (https://shop.alltheanime.com/collections) is having a 20% off sale on anything in the store. Use discount code BOX!NGCLEVER. I'm eyeing Your Name myself, as well as some other stuff. They do ship to the States, as I bought their Escaflowne box set way back when. Hoping the stuff I want is still in stock come Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Last night I finally watched Your Name in English and the dub was not that bad. I still prefer the Japanese version with subs. Clannad sure sets me off pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the work Trigger does. Winter season 2018 doesn't look too spectacular from just looking at the previews. Other than the sequels to Overlord and Basilisk, there's really nothing that makes me go wow.

Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Very funny. I am impressed how Kodaka handled the situation in the end very mature. Maria constantly reminds of the Index from Toaru Majutsu no Index I guess the sharing of seiyuu and love of food make then very similar.

What do people here recommend from that old Anime Strike list? I remember Re:Creators and Made in Abyss getting a lot of praise last year and immediately added them to my Prime watchlist.

Some thoughts (in spoilers just in case people still haven't seen it): - Was good, just like I thought it'd be. Faltered towards the end just like Gurren Lagann, just like I feared it would. - Saw the sisters twist coming from a mile away the moment Satsuki mentioned her younger sister being experimented on. Did not like it one bit. - Also hated the father plot twist. There was no need to have Isshin Matoi be Soichiro Kiryuin in disguise. - That said, I loved the dysfunctional family themes. - Ragyo is fraked up. What she does to Satsuki is suuuuuper fraked up. - So is Harime Nui. What she does to Ryuko is suuuuuper fraked up. - Mako and Ryuko, yay! - Felt like they could've done without the whole "clothes as aliens" plot. I was already hooked on just the premise of living clothes, so... eh, felt really unnecessary and kind of brought my interest down, actually. It didn't need to be expanded on. - Fanservice! Fanservice for everyone!!! Also feminism! Feminism for everyone!!! I dig it. - Hated the fact that the battles eventually fell into the same old tired "do something surprising, then explain what you did" trend as every other damnably boring shounen anime. Instead of making up new rules out of the blue just to break them, how about you establish the rules to start and then get creative within that ruleset? You know, like you did the first half of the show. - "The time comes when a girl outgrows her school uniform." Me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Brother started bingeing FMA:Brotherhood. Seems pretty good, all things considered. Definitely better than I suspected, and definitely better than the original FMA when I watched it, but a bit too long for me to invest right now. I still haven't washed out the stink of seasons-long anime from The Trio of Shounen Anime. EDIT: Has anyone seen Miss Hokusai? I bought the collector's box during the All the Anime sale, and I'll be checking it out soon as it comes in. I'm fairly certain I'll enjoy it.
