It's good, though sometimes it hits too close to home, me being a idiot like her, only not cute nor a girl.

i dropped urahara because the eyelash art was just hideous, its like that have moth wing coming out of their eyelids

At the end, I only watched Vaticanime, Owari², Chorogon Special, and Made in Abyss. Shoukoku no Altair's second cour had a great OP song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahp7htMFqvQ), but otherwise it seems to have passed under the radar; haven't seen it discussed anywhere so no clue if it's decent or not. Tsurezure seems to be a little 2DPD but I'll watch anyway, as well as Yami, 18if and Jigoku IV. Apocrypha ended up being garbage, so I'll skip it. Since these three didn't get a thread made about them:

>Owarimonogatari Part II
It was great and a proper ending for this anime series. The animation was perfect, the puns and smut as funny as ever, all plot lines got resolved even for the less important characters (except Sodachi Oikura) and the story and resolution was perfectly written and delivered. I think basically everyone who was expecting this release was satisfied.

>Princess Principal
This anime had fantastic art (backgrounds), music and animation. It was a delight to watch it despite not being that much of a fan of all-girl ensemble cast. Along with Made in Abyss, I'd say it seems it was the anime with highest production values in that season. The plot is a little contrived though, so you might need suspension of disbelief.

>Vatican Kiseki Chousakan
Pic related. This is hands down my biggest anime guilty pleasure. It wasn't a particularly good series; I'd call it decent and above average, but only because of the amazing art and backgrounds. It's about two priests who work as miracle examiners, so they get a case, travel to a location and see if it's real deal or a scam. Unfortunately for them, all the cases they engage in are preposterously complicated, with an obnoxious plot line behind them, to the point it takes itself so seriously that it becomes hilarious to watch, in a good way. I saw it being compared often with Samurai Flamenco in its execution, but I didn't watch it so can't compare. This has no cute girls n

Continuing with this, I finished Yami Shibai last year, I think on December 30th, watched it in on go. It was a collection of picture drama shorts showing some "horror" stories that have little to not strength in the storytelling so it ends up feeling more like a weird silly documentary. I still enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it even considering how little it takes to watch.

I also finished Jigoku Shoujo: Yoi no Togi (Season 4), which was a bittersweet experience overall. On one hand it has all the classic elements, and some SoL interactions from the "cast" in-between the exposition to the tear-jerking suffering-of-the-week stories but on the other hand, only 6 episodes are new, while the later 6 are copy-and-pasted from previous seasons' with this one's OP, ED and a short introduction to each episode by cardboard cut-outs of the cast interacting with each other, which I found somewhat cute. This is very likely the last season there'll be in this series, so it felt bitter going out with a the visual equivalent of a whimper (last episode gives you no send-off at all). I'd say that if you watched S3 then S4 is worth a watch, and you won't miss anything from the last 6 episodes if you only watch the cardboard intros. By the way, I really liked the ED (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Oy0FzoNwJc).

I skipped 18if since it had reviews deeming it from awful to passable, so maybe in a few years one I have finished my backlog.

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.

Here is a better quality release for Kokoro Toshokan, it is a reencode from the Polished release, which also uses the ANBU subs. So it's the same thing with better video, pretty much.

Here is a new upload of Kuromajo-san ga Tooru. It was hard to come by even while airing from what I remember, so it's no suprise... I rechecked each file for integrity against the original torrents as well so everything has kept intact. It's a nice enjoyable kids anime.

Thanks I will look through anidb though I know a lot of torrents were lost once the original nyaa got shut down but hopefully more stuff gets reuploaded as time goes on so series aren't just lost in the dust.

>>29554
Nice work, dude.
Thumbs up!

>>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?

>>25721
Mmm... 2D bishoujo

I'd just want all the Jojos past Part 2 to not be episodic. I miss 1 and 2's continuous story.

>>25777
Me too. It really went down hill after part 2

10 to 15% of seasonal anime would have that 90s aesthetic.

>>29496
Like I said, on Japanimation/manga centric image and textboards.
And yes, thankfully here on Tohno-chan is (usually) different.

>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.
