Several times along the series it reminded me of Future Boy Conan, in the sense of seeing through the lens of joyful innocence that a bleak and cruel world can nevertheless be beautiful, exciting and engrossing, and that exploring and adventuring is wholly youthful and energizing (which might very well be the intention). Despite of my own affinities and aversion to travel, I completely agree with this sentiment. With this anime I have felt something that I had not in a very long time: The desire to know absolutely everything about the world it takes place in. Sometimes I'll wonder about the surroundings of a story, but never to this degree. I want a gigantic catalogue, with all the plants, the animals, the composition of the layers to its most miniscule intricacy. This anime is amazing and it's truly a pity it did so bad so far regarding sales, which all-but-dooms the chances for a second season. I already caught to date to the manga, but the anime is just outright superior.

>no one has tried to stop her from going down
There are a couple of allusions to this, mainly the one in the flashback between Ozen and Lyza mentioning that Riko is naturally drawn to the abyss, with her first physical destination was to crawl in the same direction as soon as she was able to get off her back as a baby.

Amazing! I heard the anime sold like shit. Did the manga sales explode or something?

>>29845
I don't know precise numbers, but it seems it didn't do as bad as thought at first and ended up around 4k sales per BD. No clue about the manga sales, but the author said S2 was entirely dependant on sales, so I assume the numbers reached the expected threshold.

I loved this anime and its world, so I'm very glad it's getting a continuation.

>>29592
That sounds awesome. I'd watch it.

For me, I would make a WWI CGDCT. Cute girls digging cute trenches.

I want to see an anime be made about people with waifus or husbandos but it's actually 100% accurate.

>>29777
Well you've got chaos;head with it's stuttering internet addicted 3D rejecting MC who hallucinates about his waifu being with him in the real world.

>>29781

that only works for the B end.

I'd take a nanoha series following Vita life prior to being sucked into the book.

It takes a special kind of person to think it's a good idea to eat the remnants of a blown up alien.

If I had to guess I'd say it's from a generic sound track and lack of animation. This anime has all the energy of of a sloth in a clown outfit. The animation feels really stiff and lacking, you can almost count the frames of animation as they crawl by. For something with this kind of aesthetic the animation should be much more fluid and dynamic. The environments feel very lifeless too. In old western cartoons the backgrounds had this same style of rough scribble art but were always moving to keep things visually interesting. Likewise the music should pop more with more catchy energetic tunes. Also, maybe they should have gotten a bit more creative with the character designs. It looks like they tried to keep them cute/moe looking instead of letting their imaginations take hold and do something unique looking. By that I mean really stylizing the characters, rather than giving them horns and cat ears for no apparent reason.

Jesus fucking shit cunts stop eating the dead aliens you retards. You want xenomorphs? Cus that's how you get xenomorphs!

Whelp, after 3ep I can safely say this anime feels like wasted potential. The setting/theme allowed for fun and creative visuals, but the end result is mediocrity. Art that doesn't pop but instead burps. Music that instead of standing out is easy to forget is even there. stale and stiff animation with no life to it. Forgettable and generic characters. Everything about this feels half-hearted. Shame really.

''Mama'' she said...I wonder who Neri really is.

It seems like this show has just gone under the radar this season. It's a decent watch so far.

>It seems like this show has just gone under the radar this season. It's a decent watch so far.
Yeah, I'm thankful that you guys made a thread about it. I really like the setting.

I'm a bit worried about the pacing. There has been quite a bit of world-building, yet this is apparently only one cour and hardly anything has really happened yet.

12-13 episodes are not enough for any kind of decent conclusion to the events that have transpired.

>>29456
You poor, misguided, soul. Regardless Nozomi is best girl.

>>29456

I like tan lines and Yuzuha is one of the best girls.

>>29483
This is some asshole trying to paint a picture that the only reason anyone watches these shows is fanservice and the fact no one will download this is probably supposed to be evidence.

Lemme get something straight here. So tan-lines was just working for miko loli right? So, what was all that stuff about trying to seduce pedo-kun? Was she going to set the two of then up or something eventually? How would making him fall for herself help with that? why was she bothered by him liking the lolis if she was trying to set him up with a loli anyway? If she wanted him for herself, why did she seem to loose all interest in him once the miko showed herself?

>>29565
What did that fox ever do to you man?

>>29496
Like I said, on Japanimation/manga centric image and textboards.
And yes, thankfully here on Tohno-chan is (usually) different.
>>29498
>Why would the Western internet care about a small country in South-East Asia?
Because the thirst for shitting on things is neverending.
Also, the concept of ''western internet'' doesn't make much sense, it's more English speaking internet if you ask me.

>>29499
It might be better to talk about it somewhere other than this /an/ thread. Where you see it happening, for example.

>>29490 Here.
Wow, sorry. I don't hate japan or anything of the sort. I love most things about it in fact and 'usually' don't have bad things to say about it.
I simply found the situation presented in this anime very annoying, and I assumed this was only an issue due to cultural norms in japan. People here wouldn't keep something like that to themselves and would instead openly talk about it to everyone they could. I've been lead to believe it's common in japan to keep one's problems to themselves and stay very private about much of their lives issues, while seeing examples of this often in anime. All too often I see situations arise that are only an issue because someone will not say what needs to be said. They get blamed for things and rarely stand up for themselves or defend their actions, and I figured this was because that's just how Japanese people are. If you tell someone here they're wrong or if they feel wronged, they'll argue about it all day, not keep their feelings a secret and never say anything.
I'm sorry if I pissed if you guys off, I didn't mean to offend any of you. If I'm mistaken about the culture and it's customs then I apologize for my ignorance.

"all's well that ends well"
That was a pretty nice ending. Or at least I thought so until I realized all the characters likely died in a huge horrible car crash due to driving in a convoy while not watching the road.

I believe dog days has one of the most idealistic settings I've ever seen in an anime. Besides being a world of where everyone is cute, with a beautiful landscape and cities, things are also incredibly peaceful too. It's a world in which the nations put aside their conflicts and learned how to peacefully coexist with Olympic style events taking place of wars and serious injury being next to impossible thanks to the protective spell cast over the land. Granted there have been a few conflicts that have arisen (gotta give the characters 'something' to do) but they weren't anything the heroes couldn't take care of, and worse case scenario the local tailors have some extra work coming their way.
Their economy for that matter seemed pretty decent too, hardly noticed any slums or any mention of the poor.

>being a girl in one of those shows where all they do is eat desserts and take baths would be pretty great lifestyle.
That only lasts for a few years though. In those type of anime once people graduate highschool it's time to 'renew'.

>>25667

Probably the Tenchi universe. Just seems so massive and there's a ton of things to see and do. The possibilities are pretty much endless as long as you can stay alive.

This show is incredibly fun. I'm glad its two cour.

>>29482

I never watched the original before this, but from what I've seen the characters/humor are pretty similar.

Do you think this mecha comes with a built in dreamcast?

>>29359

Probably not, it has the Piano thing going on inside.

I'm getting whiplash from how quickly they're rushing trough the story here.

In only two episodes they introduce a power hungry nation, a country that gets invaded by said nation, the main characters save that country's princess, liberate that country, join it, and help them develop new technologies and weapons to defend themselves from further attacks. They also introduce a rival for the MC, a romance subplot for a side character, and they kill off one of the main antagonists. jesus...

True, the anime adaptation is going full speed in animating things.
