Fall 2018 Animu - Indeed, it is so very so; the ride, it never ever ever EVER ends (unfortunately)

Thunderbolt's off to a good start and if you're not watching it then I have free reign to declare you dumb.

What channel does it come on
If it’s not coming through my antenna there’s nuffin I can do buckaroo

[Bobin]

Zombieland Saga

Now I get it.

[R.Lock]

Mappa with amazing first episodes. Nice. *headbangs*

[Rafflesiac]

Bunny Girl was pretty good, in an episode or two it'll hit where I dropped off on the manga.

You're a big boy. You're smart enough to find out for yourself or to find a means of viewing it if you really wanted.

Normally, Break suggests stuff to me, but I'd like to thank IRUN for suggesting to me Zombie Land Saga.

[Spartacus]

Late a day but the first 2 minutes of Zombieland Saga

Okay, I'm onboard

[Toa of Gallifrey]

GioGio episode 1

Spoiler:

Having already watched the episode when it leaked, I was able to focus on the more minute details. The background designs were much better than I first anticipated (though I think the train is still a little too clean). Ono Daisuke's performance as an older Jotaro was very impressive, though I'm not sure if it was warranted seeing as Golden Wind takes place in 2001 and Diamond is Unbreakable took place in 1999. Speaking of sound, the music was excellent. The track that most stood out to me was the one that played when Giorno Gold Experience'd himself a tree elevator. I liked the use of a track from DiU for the Jotaro phone call scene. The sound effect for Luca's shovel sounded really good, too. The SFX work in general was great, but the sound it made when it dragged while Giorno was looking at the plane really stood out to me as a great pick.

Man I have to catch up on S1 of Thunderbolt Fantasy and the entire Raildex series. I'm not watching anything this season but JoJo and Zombieland Saga.

I definitely feel like Irozuku Sekai will be my AOTS.

Of all of the innocent nooby mistakes to make, willfully going on a quest that involves combat with no potions among your party to fall back on is the one truly worth pointing out as dumb.

[Spartacus]

Gridman is fucking great. The costume like kaiju, its stiff movement, and how the city gets restored in a single day; totally a love letter for Tokusatsu genre.

Oh yeah, goblin slayer and sao III look totally high production too, i guess.

That being said, I'm really unused to fantasy worlds where spell limit is based on daily usage rather than MP cost. Then again, the MP might not naturally recover, and she was doing math to calculate how many shots she had. Also, Goblin Slayer is a heavy armor character. Why did he bother to cover his scent? The clinking of his armor would give him away, anyway. Priests/priestesses are mage-type characters. Wouldn't wearing armor give them penalties to their magic (most mages use magic to harden their cloth clothes). Good (or at the very least, negotiable) goblins. Yeah, unfortunately, quests, like this: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Dragonborn:...of_Thirsk_Hall are far and few in between. That being said, like humans, goblins are also slave to politics: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Goblin_Trouble (also, due to weird level scaling, all the goblins might end up high-ranking, resulting in some kind of goblin democracy, which would be ironic in a fantasy world with human and elven kings and emperors).

Yeah, I couldn't stop smiling when glasses dude referenced the Ultra Series.

[LegalLoliLover]

I just realized that none of the characters actually have personal names, only class names.

[Broke]

The new Doom adaptation is looking pretty good.

[Rafflesiac]

OMG GOBLIN SLAYER'S CGI

- - - Updated - - -

also this shot is inspiredly on-the-nose, I love it

[Toranth]

Goblin Slayer was both better than I feared and worse than I hoped. The animation was... not the worst, the music was uninspired, and the pacing was awkward (all... those... pauses...). On the other hand:

I was pretty surprised that they actually made the rape obvious. I was expecting an off camera suggestion - you know, a "found her without clothes" comment later with nothing more. Add in the blood and pain, and it looks like the studio is taking Goblin Slayer more seriously that I expected.

They did, at least, bring along a cleric. It's not like they went off without any source of healing. They were just pretty dumb, not 100% morons.

The Goblin Slayer universe seems to be more D&D based - and D&D has done slot-based (Vancian) magic systems since the beginning. In fact, for gaming, MP based systems are the newer introduction.
As for the armor, it should be explained shortly... but Goblin Slayer's armor isn't that heavy - it's light on metal, heavy on padding - and is custom made to be mostly silent. And again, D&D: Clerics are armor wearers and can wield non-trivial weapons. So Priestess wearing chainmail is completely in tune. Also - magic doesn't seem to have any somatic components, so as long as she can speak, I don't think any armor would interfere.

These Goblins may not be Tucker's Kobolds, but it's wonderful to see them treated as something more than brainless vermin.
