A show about train girls coming up with ideas for merchandise to make trains popular.
I tried watching a couple ep of it, and it felt a bit lacking in direction. I know they don't have a lot of time to work with but it didn't seem like they established the characters or the setting particularly well either before throwing you into a plot line that feels like filler from a longer running series. Seemed like you'd need to have at least some prior knowledge about these characters to get the most out of this.
Why was the older thread deleted? While I've only finished the first episode, I thought it was at least promising as a slice of life. Given that the story is about struggling comedians, I think it's to be expected that the jokes will fall a bit flat. (It also doesn't help that the fuckishit subs supposedly clobber any semblance of a joke. There are alternate ones made courtesy of someone on 4/a/, but they're delayed by a week). I wonder if they'll keep the train joke as a running gag throughout the show. At some point it's got to elicit a chuckle at least.
>>34979 There was no argument. The OP took my opinion as a personal insult and decided to hold the thread hostage. There are other websites to use if you expect the userbase to give blind praise to everything and don't want to see contrasting opinions.
>>34976 Quite a shame, I thought it had potential but I supposed they took the struggling comedian angle a little too realistically. I feel like there is too much tie-in with real life which takes away quite a lot of immersion and the SoL. The senpai konbi feels so out of place and their amateur voice acting is painful to listen to, at least they are semi-relevant to the plot in the latest episode for once. I like the RDeco duo though.
>>35056 >R-Deco R凸 is a cool name, and that kanji is very neat. I also feel those two personalities play off each other better than Mafuyu/Fubiki.
A haruhi reference!
Are there series you'd like to see an adaptation of or predict would be adapted in the near future? A few that comes to mind for me would be Dungeon Meshi, 'Tis Time for Torture, Princess, Chotto Ippai and The Ride-On King. The first three I expect would be adapted in the near future especially the first two as they are quite popular. I can see Dogakobo doing Chotto Ippai and 'Tis Time For Torture, Princess.
>>34804 >I also suspect I'm not the only one in the camp of adapting Jahy-sama. I'd like an adaptation of that. I think it would be fun, I can picture a smug voice for Jahy adding a lot to it.
>>34804 I ended up reading Mizore-chan and it's great, unfortunate that the series was dropped by the scanlators. An adaptation would be nice.
https://twitter.com/somatoma/status/1316756737647505408 I completely did not expect this but Somato's Shadows House is getting an anime adaptation. I'm excited.
>>34804 Off-tangent but the mangaka of Jahy has a youtube account.
In this thread, we discuss and point out regular cliches and common occurrences found in anime. a example would be the well known protag seat, but there are many out there, some more obvious than others. Just to start things off, this is one I've been seeing a lot of. Characters who fail to notice obvious things directly in front of them, often times needing someone to point it out for them.

Student counsel presidents (and often class presidents too) Will typically have dark hair in braids with glasses. They also tend to take their position way too seriously and have stalker like levels of knowledge about every other student.Post edited on 1st Nov 2020, 7:33am
>>35048 And they'll likely have very healthy sex drives. (Always go for the kaichou in VNs.)
According to Anime Japan 2019, these are the most recognisable anime characters here. How many do you recognise?
>>34241 BOOM BOOM. Explode that keyboard!
>>34453 No.

As always, this season comes with a lot of short anime that people might not bother to make threads for, so I figure we might as well put them in one place.
>>34819 Considering how long it's been since the last season, I'd assume so.
>>34825 The manga ended a while ago though.
It's been a while since I've seen an anime this legitimately funny. In a way it reminds me a lot of aqua teen hunger force of all things, Something about the style of animation and type of humor in this feels similar. Almost feels like it'd be right at home on adultswim, before it turned to full on absurdist stoner garbage.
I was half expecting this to turn into a tourism commercial.
Which are the best anime girl hairstyles? Select your favourites.
>>34921 >What logic? They're compromising their eye health, risking lazy eye and reducing their depth perception. But with all that in mind, isn't easier to believe that someone would let their hair get that way as a result of negligence or vanity instead of someone intentionally keeping their bangs long but the rest of their hair short? The type of person to keep their hair short would probably not see a good reason to half blind themselves. >I don't think the emo aesthetic is traditional either. I was referring to the length of the rest of the hair. Short hair is not as traditional on women as long hair.
>>34920 >I don't understand what motivations the character would have behind such a hairstyle. First time I ever saw the single eye covering hairstyle was with a character who had Heterochromia.
Long hair makes me want to cuddle for some reason
I like the faux cat-ear/hair flaps style.
Celebrity impersonator Yu Morisawa has become very famous locally for her uncanny portrayal of Creamy Mami, even fooling people who knew the legendary idol. She seems to have a personal connection to Mami, but what could it be? Yu was just a kid when the singer disappeared!
deathnote slice of life after story set in hell with L, light and ryuk exchanging witty banter around the kotatsu and playing increasingly complicated pranks on each other.
>>28939 That sounds hilarious, and much better than Death Note.
>>28937 Why sequel? Make something new from scratch.
>>34776 That's not how it works...
(By the Grace of the Gods) Slime Rancher: The Animation. It's about a wagie who gets isekai'd into a little kid who takes care of a bunch of slimes and has stupidly high brute strength. There isn't much to say since the first episode just sets everything up but it's a nice little spin on isekai even if it can be called "just a gimmick" like most isekai.
>>34801 That's not really true. It's just that a lot of isekai authors these days are amateur web novel writers who make their big break. In Rayearth for instance the fact that they're from another world is very important both in the status it grants them and how unfamiliar they are with the world itself.
>>34808 I should've been more specific, older stuff like Rayearth and Inuyasha definitely does it better because "isekai" in these instances are actually part of the plot. I'm not completely against isekai mind you, some series like Youjo Senki and The Ride-On King are decent examples because the concept of being from the present actually plays into the plot development and sometimes even gets revisited. I'm not entirely sure but isn't isekai actually a relatively new term/genre? I don't recall Rayearth ever being classed as one in the past. I just feel that a lot of these "new isekai" would've done just as well if not better as a series without the need to add that "the hero was from the present world" just so people could self-insert better.
You can always do worse than loli. There's like gay shoujo isekai, it has gotten really ridiculous. Especially in print. The design looks really cute at least.
>>34810 >I'm not entirely sure but isn't isekai actually a relatively new term/genre? In English, maybe, which is why nobody seems to understand its usage in English despite being an incredibly straightforward term. Rayearth constantly uses the term 「異世界の少女たち」to refer to the heroines. There's some narrative convenience in having a protagonist that's as unfamiliar with the world as the viewer is, so there's always at least that reason if nothing else.Post edited on 7th Oct 2020, 2:54pm
I think there is absolutely no denying it. The 'golden age of fan-subbing' is (or has been) officially over. Feels weird to live through one of these things.
>>34705 Nah my bad, I should have figured that.
>>34692 >That leaves only Erai ripping CR? They're better at it anyway. HS rips didn't even retain the very basic typesetting.
It has been dead for years. Did you just notice? Regardless, you can still find them on AB.
>>34720 I'm just grateful that fansubs remain ever-present while fansub drama has largely been forgotten.
Anyone pick up anything special yet?
>>34779 Before learning her lesson, I thought Elaina was well on her way to be raped by giant insects or something of that nature.
>>34781 You should lay off the ryona for a while. >>34779 That's how I felt about Maou-jou de Oyasumi, it's quite amazing how the mangaka is able to come up with 16 volumes of such a basic premise but on the other hand it obviously gets old fast.
Iwa Kakeru and Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear was disappointing.
Perhaps I've set my expectations too high but Maesetsu was slightly disappointing. Not exactly terrible but for an anime about owarai, there is certainly a lack of laughs especially since they were selling that aspect rather hard.
