Winter 2020 Animu - No attempts at being funny in the thread description this time, sorry

[ChiakiKakumei]

I'm watching Bang Dream Season 3 right now cause I need my CGI fix and I actually like the series. (And also playing their mobage)

Bandori S3 schedule is so funky.

Complete whack.

[Rafflesiac]

What a needlessly dramatic entry for Naofumi. I wonder how they'll work with the rest of the cast.

[Deathhappens]

I just hope they collectively decide to pretend he doesn't exist every time he does something edgy.

[AmADo VII]

anyone watching Oda Cinnamon?

I like it because the show is completely carried by VA legends.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

Wew Bofuri can be looks so good when it go to action

[Mattias]

Bofuri?

[Solomos]

Bofuri?

Female shield hero

[Mattias]

So that's what that unwieldy title gets shortened to. Good to know.

On one hand, Ishuzoku Reviewers finally has some lolis. On the other, none of them showed any nipples. The best that I got was that one of the fairies is medium, in proportion to the rest of her body, rather than large. In terms of demons and undead ranking the lowest, while I understand the whole "demonic personality" thing (peanut butter contains peanuts, duh), in terms of undead, that's a very narrow definition. Vampires are undead and self-explanatory. As for the rest, higher level ones should have an absorb life skill to recover decaying flesh.

Just watched the second episode of Plunderer this morning. With the dumb sexual harassment "jokes" dialled down this ep was actually pretty decent. The fight-scene between Licht and David did a good job of conveying how overwhelming Licht's speed would be in reality.

I'd say I hope Licht's personality stays this way and he doesn't go back to being a gross pervert (though the next-ep previews make it clear that isn't the case), but on the other hand he's super boring as a generic princely hero so hopefully the show can cut some kind of golden mean there. At least Meliodas from Seven Deadly Sins had entertaining quirks beyond being a perv, like his deadpan reactions to stuff and comically bad cooking.

Of course, there had to a scene of the shadow-hands reaching under Hina's skirt when they were returning her count. I mean, I guess it's pretty much inevitable with her count being located where it is but it's still pretty lame that the poor girl has to get felt up in what's ostensibly her moment of triumphant victory. Going to be weird if that happens every time she wins a duel in the future.

There's also still some world-building oddities, like how being a Ballot Holder apparently makes you a majorly wanted criminal in this world but Hina could just wander around and (if her behavior in the first ep was anything to judge by) show hers to every friendly person she meets without ever facing repercussions. In general the fact Hina knows so little about the world despite wandering for five years (and this episode makes it clear she did go through civilized places and not just mountains and the like) is pretty unbelievable, which I was willing to ignore at first but the show keeps doubling down on that in a kind of annoying way.

Lastly, an interesting twist at the end of the episode when the military dude shows Hina a seemingly modern-day earpiece. Going by Hina's reaction and the setting's fantasy trappings, that kind of technology isn't supposed to be something that exists in this world. Combined with how downright weird the "everyone's lives are ruled by numbers" conceit is and it makes me wonder what's really going on here.

Eizouken - I never knew I could get so much pleasure just looking at backgrounds/set design/architecture from an anime.While I’m sure I’ve plenty of shows that have paid attention to details like these, Eizouken might be just the most fun I’ve had with experiencing it.

Plunderer - +1 to the Hina molestation count. Licht is pretty much Kenshin the molester. I might want to count my blessings I only specified Hina for my drinking game or it’d be 5 shots for 3 episodes. To this shows credit, I was surprised that that generic mook actually might be important.

ID:Invaded - I was wrong to hope for that chicks survival. Feels bad. P.s. please make a Zero Escape-esque game of this.

[AmADo VII]

machete girl vs tanks

please make it happen Trigger

[bassgs435]

Not with a machete, but "girl with swords vs tanks" happened in Symphogear AXZ episode 1

[Deathhappens]

Also girl with fists vs tank, girl with huge assortment of guns vs tank, and ninja vs tank.

[Mattias]

I gave Drifting Dragons a shot. Animation is really nice for 3d, the plot is unique, but fuck are the subs bad. It's like with Crunchy, Funi and Amazon being so easy to rip an already subbed version from, when people have to do it proper by hand again, they forget how people speak. Almost no grammar, a word salad line every minute or so, it's boarder line unwatchable. If it was an action show you probably wouldn't notice, but it's so mellow most of the time, you have nothing else to really do but pay attention to the flaws.

I read the first vol of the manga, didnt like it. The whole thing feels like a thinly veiled pro whale hunting propaganda document, which was something of an an eyebrow raiser, but im not that politically sensitive in my fiction consumption so i was like whatever. But its just boring, one-note and repetitive. Good art though.

[bassgs435]

Plunderer is an stupid mess of a show. I'm enjoying it but that's just me and I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone. Still, though. It's nice to have Bofuri and this as a breather before jumping into the Re:Zero DC episodes.
Now, then. I dropped Hatena Illusion. Picked up new Show by Rock in it's place

[Solomos]

Seikuhara Swordsman - Barely 3 episodes in and you already have a pointless episode. It’s not quite filler but it sure as fuck feels like it.

I’m not sure I’ve seen an action show waste so much time in sexually harassing it female characters in such a short amount of time. Good Job.
