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.

I wonder what it's like to have someone rest a massive rack like that on your head.

>>30891
Heavy, but comfy.

What are those end lyrics?
Is it "Listen god, I want to feed you." ?

I guess she's never seen a taco before?

>>31000
These are the kinds of things why I don't watch seasonal anime.

>>31001
Can't say I blame you.

>>30920
Gotta let the kids know it's okay to be gender neutral in 2018.

>>31000
It's not that bad. Things get a touch on the dark/serious side but it's always still light hearted in the end. I can't see any of the villains doing anything truly evil here.

We finished Rozen season 1 and now it's time to recommend the next anime to watch!

>>30909
I'm sincerely impressed with your commitment to that meme ITT.

Much to my excitement we're going to be streaming Galaxy Angel this upcoming Tuesday! We will be watching six episodes every Tuesday. Please refer to the OP for the room info. Below is a link to torrent the episodes. Can't wait to see you there!

I've seen it, but sure I'll watch it. Already got it DLed. Been years, so it'll be fresh either way. Seems it's half eps so 6 should be fine really.

>>29472
but that just marks the beginning of comfy fall and winter anime and fanart

>>29472
Finally.

So, what's the verdict? What was worth the watch?

I finished watching Inuyashiki yesterday and it was quite something. The best thing about this anime is the OP (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFnF2E6nJDw) and the overall theme, but the execution can feel lacking at some points.

There is never explanation why Inuyashiki looks like 80 despite being only 58. A lot of the plot points are exalted and then wane on their own without much further exposition to make room for the plot to progress, which I think works very well for an anime that airs weekly, but becomes painfully obvious when you watch it in quick succession or with no other anime in-between. The one thing that really surprised me [SPOILERS] is how fast I went from absolutely hating the villain (i.e. "He needs to be put down, NOW") to feeling sympathy and pity for him and his surroundings, specially by the time Pubehead came along. By the end he goes down the path of evil again and the pity becomes sour when you realize he didn't try to redeem himself, he only tried to feel validated. Eventually he sacrifices himself to stop a cataclysm, by then I couldn't care less for the guy. Apart, I found the epilogue extremely sour, when Inuyashiki's daughter wins the WSJ maanga spot by adapting the villian's story, over the story adapted by the villian's friend about Inuyashiki's heroic acts. At some point I felt it having more episodes would be ideal, but also feel it wouldn't have solved the issues with how the series is written.

I wouldn't say it's an amazing anime nor the AotS, and I think it can be skipped in favour of finishing a backlog, but it's very decent nevertheless and worth a watch if you liked the OP or the Gantz manga (less so the anime, for obvious reasons).

>>30903
That ain't the meaning of either Italy or Mexico flags alright; which are, respectively: hills/Alps/blood of war heroes; hope/religion/blood of war heroes.

>>30904
Italians love their alps? Not really something one would think.

Looking it up, it says that's just a 'common intepretation'.
Japanese wiki says: 緑は「国土」、白は「雪・正義・平和」、赤は「愛国者の血・熱血」

>>30904
Not true (about Italy at least).
There are various conjectures about the meaning of the colors.

Food tickets are efficient, Maccas has something similar, but being mandatory is a bit impersonal.
Good and bad, it just balances itself out and becomes 'neutral but different'.

>>29811

In theory, it helps save the inner ear and ear drums from rupturing when hit by a shockwave from a blast.

In practice, t's about as effective as stop drop and roll when covered in petrol and lit on fire.

>>29812
Dunno, theoretically, rolling would help disperse the petrol, but I get what you mean.
I thought it was like when you get punched in the gut and you automatically gasp, whereas firing a missile would be to abrubt for your body to mitigate on its own.

The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?!

They did it, the absolute madmen!

>>30823
What? They don't.
If you live somewhere where women don't do that sort of thing you might not understand what those accessories are. Such as Yuno's double Xs.

>>30824
No clue where you're from, but even when I have the misfortune of having to go outside I will at least see a few women with hair accessories like hairpins, barrettes, headbands, scrunchies, those hair claw thingies, and even ribbons (although rare) and kerchiefs (although ugly)... and even more if you want to count practical tools like regular hair ties, alligator clips or bobby pins.

>>30830
I never see them wear any for fashion, usually it's just a scrunchie to make a ponytail.

>>30831
Same. Not unless they're kids being made to wear stuff like that by their parents. You never see it on tv or film here either.

>>28210
I never would have guessed things would go in that sort of direction.

>>28211
>>28210
That whole thing was so cute.

...aside from those who assume everyone on the internet is a guy.

that season 2 better come out soon! I enjoyed this anime very much. way better than umaru in my opinion.
I especially need more of satania!
