Winter 2021 anime thread

[Skull]

Digimon Adventure Episode 31: Despite being mostly a Lore episode, I really enjoyed it. We finally get the name of the villain "Millenniumon" dropped which is cool to see him properly in an animated work. As expected the Lopmon pulled a Frontier by awakening its past memories to speak with the heroes but sadly departed by the end, I was kinda hoping it would stick around and be a mentor. We also got "the power of Courage" mentioned but not directly linked to the Crest, oh well its a start at least.

Overall I'm just glad we got to spend some time with WarGreymon's awesomeness instead of immediately jumping into another Mega which is good. It seems that next episode will be MagnaAngemon too which is also swell for not having the Megas back to back.

Tomozaki is probably one of the most harmless LNs I can think of, but it managed to piss off both gamers and clout tweeters at the same time. One side thinks its racist against gamers, other thinks its a power trip about a toxic gamer who gets all the girls.

[Laserman]

I've read the summary for it, and it doesn't seem like either at all.

[LegalLoliLover]

So Ex-ARM appears to be Cyber-Berserk. Nudity in the manga, so maybe in the anime, too, but what definitely is in the anime is very bad CGI. Would it be good to have faith?

[Spartacus]

Digimon: we are going to have Ophanimon instead of Holydramon for Tailmon's Mega. Wonder if DarkKnightmon is a fallen Holy Digimon or something.

[Skull]

Wonder if DarkKnightmon is a fallen Holy Digimon or something.

It would not surprise me after Devimon's comments which lead to people speculating that he was an angelic Digimon once too.

[Deathhappens]

Because apparently no one made this before me. Anyway, my list is:

Series:
Promised Neverland
Slime
Cells at Work
Cells Black (wait, both in the same season?)
Redo of Healer

Shorts:
Azur Lane

Leftovers:
Higurashi

Movies:
Princess Principal
Evangelion

OVA:
Vlad Love
Dogeza

Given my tastes, does anyone else have any other recommendations?

Azur Lane shorts? Oh right, Slow Ahead adaptation.

Might look into it if it's as gloriously lewd as the manga.

[Toranth]

You can clearly see Kuro a couple of times, not just a silhouette. Oni is there in the demon generals shot as well, along with the vampire butler and Shiro.

Unless his design has changed, Oni isn't in the OP. Of course, this anime seems to be more based on the manga than the WN, and I've already seen some places where designs were changed from the way they were described in the text just amongst the spiders and humans shown so far. So it is possible I just don't recognize him, considering I never looked at the manga until yesterday when I went looking for images of the characters.

The anime is based on LN. The WN didn't have art to begin with, so there was nothing to change.

But here he is, the green hair horned one

So I polished off a bunch of the new anime:

Tomozaki: Wow this is cringe, it's like Hachiman from SNAFU with no redeeming qualities. The ED song was good, but it's no patch on "Makeover, Makeover. Makeover, Makeover. Makeover, MAkeover. Ma-ke-Ov-Er" which I was humming through the whole back half.

Spider: I'm torn, the MC is fun and the story isn't too rote, but that CG is really rough in some parts, not bad looking but just looking strange when in motion.

Back Arrow: Oh it's... sentai? Toku? Mecha? Weird. it's just weird.

Horimiya: I'm 100% down for this. Bit of lovey dovey, lots of comedy. Was kind of hoping Miyamura would eat shit at the fence, but Egg Time was good too. Why is this so much better than Tomozaki? They're both about gloomy nerds getting closer to popular girls with double lives. Is it just the fact that Tomozaki tries to go full Drama and thus overshoots, while this has enough laughs that when people actually have a serious talk it matters more?

Dr. Ramune: Meh. Where's my Frakenfran anime?

Kemono Jihen: Oh hey, Oshino Meme. Is this what you've been doing since Monogatari season 1? Wait, was that a 50's Cadalac outside this nowhere village? No, it's a 1950's Chevy Bel-air. In modern Japan. What the hell? And no that I've solved that mystery I look up and a 30 year old man is having a bathing montage with a ten year old. Is this Super Lovers, again? Oh my god, missing parents, guardians who make them do all the work but shun him, the occult, is this this Harry Potter? Okay, it's a bunch of kids not just the one. That's either much better, or much much worse.

Mushoku Tensei: Was that a Rapeman refernce with a six month old kid? Why does a family this small have a live in maid anyways? I can't decide wheter this how would be better with the MC at an older age. Having a five ehar old be perverted is really creepy, but if he was older it would be kind of pathetic.

Otherside Picnic: Is that a gun? No, just a Makarov. Haha. Oh University students, that how they have heavy machine guns and Beer in th OP. Girl are you wearing heels to fight otherwolrd monsters? The after fight freak out was good though.

Soukou Mususme Senki: Wish I lived in a world where Gunpla were that popular. Oh they're just figures? Too bad....Holy shit is that a Utena castle in the sky? What up with these transformation sequences? Full arm gautnlets become bracelets, but little back wings turn into 100 pound intracate jet turbines?


Ex-Arm: This is so bad, here's it's own section:

Oh God, everyone got those wierd eyes you see on sex dolls that look like they're open 20% too much.

What. What the Fuck. Is that a 2d and 3d model in the same scene. Both standing stock still with mouth flapping? These 2d's are flash tier. Like mid 2000's newgrounds stuff.

Why did you bother with cover, ms Not-Mokoto-Kusanagi? You had thrity guns with machines guns, and two turrtes shoot at you point blank and diddn't get hit once. Oh god the lip flaps don't even fucking match. DOES NO ONE EMOTE? Wait why does one character have shadow on the left her face and the other also on the left when they're standing across form each other?

Oh there's Not-Arima. He's only 2d though, so not gonna see him for long.

Okay so I know people have been saying this is worse than RWBY. I'll one up them and say that this is worse than GEN-LOCK.

There's no textures anywhere in these backgrounds. It's like a PS1 game.

Why is there no music in thsi fight scene. Oh there it is. Wait did they only have badass fight music.

Wit how did they get him out to arrest him? Did they cut his arm off?

For gods sake don't show insert art, it just shows how bad a job you're doing with this anime.

Anyone here seen both this and Berserk 2016? I want to hear the comparisons, because we might have a new champ for worst made anime.

[AmADo VII]

Back Arrow is created by director of Code Geass and screenwriter of Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.

it's going to be over the top robot anime I'm looking forward to.

[bassgs435]

Ex-Arm is such a disaster. Normally I'm really forgiving of flaws, but this is too much. Goddamn, it's the next Skelter Heaven. What a mess

[weeblord]

They're both about gloomy nerds getting closer to popular girls with double lives.

Hinami isnt the love interest for Tomozaki, she just coaches him in social skills so that he can get friends and eventually a love interest.

tomozakis (un?)lucky girl

The silver haired book girl.

He improves pretty... well, not fast, its step by step with a lot of cringe on the journey, but compared to Hachiman who spent multiple seasons wallowing in self-pity, spewing incel redditor rhetoric and engaging in self-destructive behavior, tomozaki goes from zero to hero in no time flat.

[bassgs435]

Decided to check the Ex-Arm manga, and damn. This'd be a decent fun sci-fi show in the right hands. Art's great. This butchery is a crime. I've seen plenty of shit adaptations. But Ex-Arm is easy one of the worst

Hachiman was bad but at least there was that humour there, in his internal monologues and sniping with Yuki and Iroha, that let you enjoy what's happening. Tomozaki was so dour and self serious it was embarrassing.

But is it worse than Berserk?

Yes.

I wonder if the same thing would have happened, had Welcome to NHK been released in 2021.

[Wandering Swordwoman]

Kemono Jihen seems gonna be good

[weeblord]

Ex-arms: had to check it out because i wanted to see exactly how bad it is, and lmfao yeah its bad. This will go down in history as a legendary kusoanime. Every single cut has something you can make fun of.

Back Arrow: this mf really got called bakayaro and decided its his name. Seems fun.

[Oscarwild]

I've watched each hunter x hunter and naruto/ naruto shippuden and it's far surely tough to pick out which one is better as each of them are favourite of mine but i can solution it in line with genre and what human beings will see in that each collection.

In case you are guy who cheers for the underdog and loves exquisite fights with some wonderful plot twist then naruto/ naruto shippuden is the series for you. Naruto have some of the nice man or woman to have in anime. now not so much humorous but subtle with attention given to each character and their motivation. With time I'm sure anyone will love those character ( mine is lee and gai) and cheer for them in every fights. Hunter x hunter filler at animefillerlist.net is a top notch story with some of the nice person. A number of the fights in this anime are so epic that i will watch it time and again. It is a first rate shonen genre anime and that i noticeably advise it.
