    Shame about needing to go to /a/ or Reddit if you don't want to wait for fansubs for Kaguya because of the subs. Changing how the characters call each other in a show obviously focused on their relationship, where what they call each other is one of the many tools to show exactly how their relationship is and it will change as their relationship progresses seems like a huge mistake.

    GJM is doing Kaguya and Neverland (and two others, I think Boogiepop is one of them) but they've had a history of stalling and dropping so don't get too attached (though as of recent seasons their staff have been more committed to finishing projects in a timely manner, so I have hope).

    Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai ep 1, first 5 minutes:

    I think I just had a planegasm. Sure, the contrast between the girls (CGI) and the guys (drawn) is jarring, but who the fuck cares? PLANES! DRAWN! ACCURATELY!

    And the Zeppelin! Oh man, it's like I'm playing Crimson Skies again.

    Well, ep 1 done. Not much to say about the plot (or lack thereof) but any anime that devotes half its first episode to a WW2-era dogfight (albeit a rather uneventful one) is well worth the watch, in my book.

    So finally got the time to watch the kaguya anime and it was great. The OP was also especially glorious.

    Seeing it be this good once again makes me sad it won’t reach the later feels train. Well for now i’ll just wait for the first shirogane and fujiwara segment.

    They're not drawn though. It much more impressive to keep a vehicle on model traditionally, than is to cut and paste a CG model into a rig and move it back and forth.

    Someone had to do the research and spend many, MANY hours to create the CG model, including ensuring all the moving bits are behaving like they're supposed to. Sure, it would be a lot harder to maintain that level if you drew every frame of it manually, but that's an issue of consistency, not accuracy.

    Promised Smiles: I'm wondering if Joshua is actually gone, or if all the OP/ED art is just a giant misdirect. It's a pretty ballsy move to put a character who's only in the first bit all over, just ask the Tales of Zestria game. Though that was a cute girl, so maybe it elicits more reaction.

    Has anyone here seen Grimms Notes? The premise sounds really interesting but from what I've heard the first episode was pretty generic. Do y'all think it's worth watching?

    It's meh. The story was a neat idea, fairy tale time cops, but the characters all felt really flat. Also there's this weird thing they do to make the main protagonist unique where everyone literally has book with their entire fate written down and his is blank for mysterious reasons.

    Mob is great.
    TPN is great. (everyone is hung up on Killua/Ray, while I'm hooked on the idea of Sumire voicing Emma. Perfect fit)
    QuinQuin is...whatever, manga is alright, but anime is still on stale part.
    Bandori is cool. Don't watch it right after finishing S1, tho, hahahaha. Not for anime-only audience.

    Mob S2 Episode 2: Ah, the urban legends episode. This always bemused me as I was so fascinated by those sorts of things growing up and I was always saddened when the truth turned out to be a mundane explanation.

    Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Asuka ep.2: Tacticool Operatan (tm)
    Spoiler:


    Geez, even the opening looks like it was made with a shoestring of a budget.

    Apologise to the police, Asuka! Apologise!

    Apparently, almost being shot by terrorists while amidst the corpses of everyone else who was is a traumatic experience, who woulda thought?

    Guantanamo Bay-style "interrogations"? In MY Japanese National Police? It's more likely than you'd think.

    Wow, either they're turning it up a notch or I'd really forgotten how emotionally manipulative Kurumi comes off as. Which...isn't wrong, exactly, but I get the feeling she's not supposed to come off as such guilt-tripper originally.
