Summer 2020 Anime. It's A Thing, I Guess.

mindbreaking the ANITJAPANESE GAMERS into combat is way more impressive

Fire Force: So they have to beat down God, huh? So standard anime plot 5b.

God of Highschool: Man they flubbed Mira's powers reveal. They should have had the actual sword be nothing special and the power with her, rather than she randomly has Lu Bu's artifact for the last decade and never noticed. And then next episode, crazy dude breaks the friends leg, and then all the guy does for revenge is punch him repeatedly? Break both the fuckers legs. And his arms for good measure.

Railgun: Wow, Frankenstein's plan is just the same one from Worm. "I have no idea how to fix this, so I'll randomly generate events in the populace hoping one of them stumbles ass backwards into a solution somehow, without telling them there's a problem in the first place".

Muhyo and Roji Season 2 Episode 10:Goryo's been dragged down. His group headquarters has been destroyed and now he, an Executor, the highest title a Magic Law Practitioner can be given, is undergoing spectralization. Despite all that and how he's been up to then, there's still someone that truly cares about him and is willing to risk everything to save him. With the way this is going, I don't think we'll reach Volume 7 like I thought. This season will probably end right before that.

The Millionaire Detective - Balance: UNLIMITED Episode 9:So that's why Cho stayed behind when he could have ran. He sacrificed his life to put the receiver in Shigemaru's suit. Also, the gun being fake along with Haru shooting that woman being the reason why he can't shoot anymore, is just so sad. There's no way he could have known. And it hurts even more now where he needs to do something to help Daisuke. I think my favorite part was when Daisuke found out his grandmother knew his father was alive, and she's like, "It's natural for a parent to protect their child." And then he says, "If so, don't you think it's natural for a child whose mother was murdered to have a grudge against that murderer?"

Yakumaru stocks rising greatly.

[Rafflesiac]

I'm wheezing.

[GDB]

It was such a good episode. Makes me sad that it'll be another 10 years before we get another season.

Do they not have enough chapters or volumes to animate?

[bassgs435]

They have, but they were alluding to the fact that there was a long pause beetween Raildex seasons after their respective 2nd seasons, even when they had enough material for years.

The next arc isn't done yet.

You can hear the weight of 200 years in KIRITO's voice, good work once again Matsuoka.

Honestly really curious how this is all gonna end, Kawahara's speculative stuff has always been fascinating like Kamachi's. And Kikuoka pulling a Nick Fury was hilarious.

Checked out the first ep of Great Pretender today. Not sure where the show is going to go from here, but I had a great time watching a bunch of loveable scumbag scam-artists con the shit out of each other.

Also, hoo boy I see this is what people mean when they talk about anime "showing instead of telling". I had to rewatch parts of the ep a few times to figure out everything that happened in the last couple minutes with Laurent's "fake drug-deal" scam. I called that Edamura faked his drug-induced freakout and Abigail was working for Laurent the whole time, but I didn't get the significance of the shared watches at all right away, nor everything that happened back at Japan. Holy crap, so Laurent actually paid off all those people just to rope Edamura into coming to LA with him. Guy's a lunatic genius.

The next arc isn't done yet.

Is that the one that starts with the Jailbreak Race? I'm like 2 years behind on railgun, and that was in full swing when I dropped off.

[Spartacus]

Yes

[GDB]

Is that the one that starts with the Jailbreak Race? I'm like 2 years behind on railgun, and that was in full swing when I dropped off.

Yeah, though it looks like it should finish up in the next couple of chapters.

Can't wait to see people's faces at the sheer WTFness that happened in the most recent couple of chapters if/when it gets animated.

[Rafflesiac]

You just know it's not going to be addressed for another 50 chapters at least. Or get a teeny-tiny reference in GT7.

Muhyo and Roji Season 2 Episode 10:With the way this is going, I don't think we'll reach Volume 9 like I thought. This season will probably end right before that.

9, I meant volume 9. So it will end at 8. The new season started in the middle of Volume 5. Maybe I'll post more artwork.

They have, but they were alluding to the fact that there was a long pause beetween Raildex seasons after their respective 2nd seasons, even when they had enough material for years.

Right when I posted this, I forgot that.

The next arc isn't done yet.

That's also a good reason.

Digimon Adventure Episode 15: A good episode. Joe finally found his Courage...err wait wrong Crest.

I'm always skeptical regarding Gomamon focused episodes because he's kinda like the Aquaman of the group, but I felt the moving around in the snowy mountains worked quite well. Nice to see Mammon again even if he wasn't as threatening as the other Perfects encountered so far. Zudomon bursting out of Ikakkumon during the Evo sequence was like woah. I liked the Kiwimon segment because it emphasised that not everything is out to kill the kids. That cliffhanger though...

Watched episode 9 of Fire Force S2 this afternoon. Damn, that animation for Ogun's "Flamy Ink" super-mode was jawdropping. I wonder, were those ORAORA and MUDAMUDA's (technically DAMUDAMU's but past the first syllable it's basically pronounced the same way) in the manga too or an anime-only addition? It's just a funny coincidence in any case since this anime got made by David Productions, which were most famous for adapting JoJo's. Also Tempe in this ep basically shows the advantages and disadvantages of playing a tank-build. He gets knocked around by basically everyone, but you just can't put the guy down.

The moment Lady in Black said she could only give Shinra Grace for one second, I just knew he was going to flash one of his signature grins. That moment was so badass. I guess next ep Shinra is going to curbstomp Tempe by going lightspeed (not many ways a fight can be evenly matched when it only lasts one second) and then we're going to get the wrap-up of this arc?

Muhyo and Roji Season 2 Episode 11: It's amazing that the association unknowingly let a criminal like Tomas teach. He seemed like such a nice man before. I don't remember Ark being around for so long either. One more episode left, I'm excited to see what happens.
