student councils tend to be run by unreasonable totalitarian cunts and assholes who get a raging boner for abusing their power. Has me wondering if this is a reflection of real Japanese high schools.

clueless but cute student leaders seem to be nearly as common

It's all too common for dance routines in anime to be little more than a handful of sliding still images.

This is of course mostly due to budget and time constraints, and how much of a pain in the ass these things would be to animate, nevertheless...

If there's a school play, the appropriate genders for the roles are likely to be swapped.

Likewise, if the focus of an episode is a girl preparing for her role in a play, she is likely switch roles to play a prince at the very last minute as a surprise twist. This is even more likely to happen if she gets told she would fit the role of a princess very well.

Well, it is still ongoing. Blue-ray disc of Das Finale out in March 2018.

Can't wait til end of March 2018....

Soon...

20180323 Das Finale #1 on blue-ray disc

A hearty good laugh was had.

>>31043
Don't make me back hand you!

That last ep was crap, even by this show's standards.

>>31126
It makes no sense to try and make sense out of something that makes no sense.

No way, those things can't be 'that' easy to make.

This season was bordering on false advertizing!

>>31103
Should I skip then?

>>31104
If you liked the first season it's worth giving a try, but it's not nearly as good this time around. They don't go into detail about candy like before, the art is way different and less detailed than before, and the fan favorite Hotaru is absent for half the season. If nothing else we see coconuts grow a bit and begrudgingly learn to accept his role as the shop owner, sort of.

>>30473
God that's fucking hilarious!

;_;

It should be considered a crime against humanity if there are no footjob doujins from this girl.

Well, that was a fun ride.

The final fights, in every case, were extremely underwhelming, rushed with shitty pacing, and were loaded with QUALITY. The sophie hacking thing with the ghost girl was promptly dropped and forgotten, which is a shame. The epilogue was quite good though. Hopefully we get a movie with more post time-skip Sophie and bishop.

>>30760
Waiting until it finishes airing so I can marathon it. I wonder how high is the head swivel counter so far.

>>30760
Saw the first ep and that was a big 'nope' for me. I'm not watching edgy gore porn.

>>30760
Broadcast ends with episode 10 and episodes 11-13 will be aired at a later date. Should we congratulate Shaft for taking the first step to destroy the fate franchise?

>>31079
Last time I checked Shaft didn't make Fate/go.

Haven't seen MADLAX is forever and don't remeber a thing about it, but it's got an op which is worth a mention.

I fucking loved this anime and I fucking love this OP. It's a perfect example of shounen anime done right! It's a tragedy no one remembers it outside of japan.

Do you folks thinks OPs that are palpably made for a series, to the point of even having the title in the song, end up being better or at least more memorable? Do you wish it was always the case with anime series? e.g

I guess I should have mentioned that as a third option. Oh well.

Best way to tell if something is filtered or not is to look for dark spots. These are caused by the filter getting confused about where to place outlines. Uneven and out of place outlines are another give away. Spotty uneven shifts from one color to a slightly different shade can also be a give away. Stuff that's draw/painted will general have more even color transitions, unless it's on something like a tree where that's done on purposes to create the look of leafs.

i wonder how often chinese tourist thinks thats a public toilet and poops in it?

>>31067
I'd wager about as often as American tourist assume it's a public water fountain and poop in it.

>>31032
What I'm concerned about is all the scat porn this anime is likely to generate.

I know it's a common theme in anime to not give background characters/extras any faces, but that doesn't make it any less creepy.

>>31054
Maybe the colors are in a virtual reality setting. That's why they need to save the town.

As incredibly awkward as this scene would be in the real world, it was extremely cute. Here's hoping that dude nails his next interview.

I half expect to see some characters from yama no susume show up in one of these episodes.
MAKE THE COLAB HAPPEN JAPAN!!

Great advice for all the amateur campers and travelers out there. I can't see anything going wrong with that!

What about the ones separated by large bodies of water?

Whelp, I think it's about time I drop this. Not sure why or how I've stuck with it this long. I was mildly curious about the mystery/story behind the anime, but not only are they probably not going to answer anything anytime soon, but in retrospect it doesn't feel that interesting anymore. It might all be a dream, or maybe the game devs accidentally created a portal to another universe, who knows. I don't much care anymore to be honest and it doesn't feel like it maters much to the story anyway.

The further on this goes the more pointless it feels to have the main character be a human in an mmo when they can just have the anime be centered around some antihero demon lord in a fantasy world from the start. I wish fantasy anime could just be fantasy anime again without any of this VR otaku's after life bullshit tacked on as if they need to justify taking part in the genre. Yes there are themes here of the main character loosing his humanity, but that could easily be replicated by having the main character be a former human in this fantasy world. The real world tie in stuff is just so unnecessary, as proven by the second season which makes very little reference to it.

Gotta say, I'm not usually much for dark themes. In anime dark/violent tends to mean immature with cheesy levels of gore. It's a bit on the tame side for the most part, but I draw the line at torture girls and this is the second time such a thing comes up. At least in the first season they got it over with without dragging it out too much. From what I hear, it seems things only get worse. Season two opens with the main character nearly committing genocide just to evaluate one of his underlings. That ain't my cup of tea yo.

Personal preference aside, the show crawls at a snail's pace. Season 1 was a whole of "...do something already!!!" followed by some "...That was it?!" with not much in between. It was like watching someone take an hour to set up a chess board, take two turns, then tell you to wait a few years to see the next couple turns. It was obvious they were trying to stretch out the content they had to work with as much as they could and it was a snore fest because of it. Then you sprinkle in some fights that feel pointless due to how over powered all the characters are. No challeng

Lol, have you read Akagi?

>>31026
Yes, and it's a bit different. In Akagi they do indeed drag out matches and will at times make you wait for the next episode to see the rest of the match. The thing is though, you knew you were going to see the end of the match in the next ep, even if they drag it out to the end. Akagi (at least the animated version) had a had a decent conclusion at the end. The story was wrapped up in a nice little package, and it's a shame they don't do anime like that too often anymore. There's very little to suggest they'll -ever- animate the end of this anime. Much like many other anime out there that never had their endings animated, let alone anything past the first couple chapters. Now it's all about having IPs companies can milk installments out of every few years. Anime producers have been clear cutting the manga and LN fields for decades knowing full well it's an unsustainable practice, and it's catching up to them. Now dang near every anime is just a segment of a story, that combined with stretched out small amounts of content is makes this anime and others like it feel like a waste of time in it's current state.

let me rephrase. Akagi was like watching people play a complete chess match and take 15-30 minutes between moves. Overlord is watching people set up the board for an hour, make a move, then stop and tell all the people watching to go home and come back in two years. Then when you come back you find them playing dungeons and dragons and have to force them to get back to the chess match. They then make a couple moves after taking hours between each one, then tell you to come back in a few years. Mind you at this point they're still just moving pawns out of the way and don't seem to have much of a game plan.

>>31040
Nice way to explain it. Sounds annoyingly boring then. I was thinking the same a few weeks ago, sooner or later the well of LNs and Manga will dry. They're already making sequels, offshoots, remakes and such of anime. The future is slightly grim.
