that it's fun and interesting?

>>27632
That's one way of putting it, sure.

>>27262
Watched the second episode and I 'get it', enjoying it.
The first episode focused too much on world exposition, where the world has no story/lore and is more a visual spectacle.

>>27266
>Might just be me but ep3 was giving me some heavy KLK vibes.
I got it as well; my thinking was a more general 'Trigger Studio feel'.

>>27666
it's definitely influenced by Trigger works. studio 3hz is relatively unknown, i think flip flappers is the only thing they've worked on but i like the 'vibe' a lot. i predict/hope we'll see a lot more of these klk-esque anime in the coming years.

take no game no life which was basically klk by madhouse.

anime should always strive to be visually confrontational/appealing.

I don't remember the game being like this at all.

i hope this type of philosophical discourse is regular feature

The figures are from Sore ga Seiyuu, which starred the members of Earphones who also star in Akiba's Trip and perform the OP. SgS was also produced by Gonzo.

>>27639
Nice find, but I thought Ichigo's VA was all washed up and failed as a voice actress?

So how does this tie in with the other fate/ works? alternate universe like /extra or what?

And then we're back to the sonic style music videos... shame, this one might have been pretty cool if it was animated normally. The way they lead into it I thought that would have been the case. way to get my hopes up...

Something about this moon looks familiar...

I really wasn't expecting a musical number there. That was pretty great while it lasted.

Shame we don't get to see more of her like that.

incremental improvement is still improvement.

>>27513

I stand corrected, it is a significant improvement.

That's a 10 point landing right there.

All things considered, that was a pretty great last ep.

>>27602
>I was just irritated that, as usual, no one addressed any of the points I made
You know, that's fair enough. I wouldn't say the users here always "eschew serious discussion", but... well, it is a futaba imageboard, and one for people with mostly atrocious social skills.

>>27610
>do you lack the ability to compete intellectually on a more substantial level?
No. I lack the caring to communicate with you on a more substantial level than name-calling in this thread. While I fully understand why this seems lowbrow, I'm not particularly concerned about that either.

This is not my common "style", and I'm sure we'll get along in other threads, unbeknownst to each other.

Somehow I feel an Okusama thread isn't exactly the best place for "serious discussion".

>>27614
Just because it isn't a serious anime doesn't mean we shouldn't have a meaningful or fruitful discussion. You don't have to join in if you don't want to thought.

>>27612
Serious image board users, in my experience, have poor social skills but are fairly intelligent.

>>27614
Okusama is an important groundbreaking anime. It may not seem serious to you because its "just a cartoon", but it covers important and controversial topics related to the reproductive rights of 2D anime girls.

I'm 20 ep into jojo part4 and... it's not very good lol.
It's really lacking substance. There's no over arching objective, threat, or goal.
It's just a lot of pointless dicking around. They had a rather straight forward premise set up early on but took care of it far far too quickly. It was nothing special but the mystery of who's creating stand users was much better than having absolutely nothing at all to tie things together. After that got resolved it became like watching and waiting and wondering if they're gonna establish a new over arching villain/goal for the characters.
Which I guess sort of came in the form of some random murder who feels very detached from the main characters, and is treated like a minor sub plot at best in a show that has no main plot.
Also, I find the setting very boring. they went from traveling the globe, to keeping everything in a small generic Japanese town. It's hard to switch from watching as they're traversing deserts and oceans while fighting for their lives, to watching characters go to and from school while occasionally getting into wacky hijinks on the way.
I thought it was neat at first they brought back part3's jojo, but then they had him sit in a hotel room jerking off and doing nothing for half the season. As of ep 20 the only episode he's really done much of anything in is one where they go hunt a rat of all things. Meanwhile part2's jojo shows up and as soon as he does they literally have him playing babysitter and nothing else.
They repeatedly bring out what seem like interesting villains, then kill them off or BEFRIEND them Nanoha style within an ep or two, most going with the befriending direction..
While I know nothing about jojo is supposed to be taken too seriously or read too much into, I still can't help but notice they're extremely inconsistent with the main character's power. They can repair stuff which is all well and goo, but they made a very clear point that he warps and distorts the things he repairs. That distortion thing only seemed to happen within the first couple ep after that only happened randomly. It's like the writer figured it'd be more convenient to have the power repair stuff normally and retconed it while not even being half way into the series yet. In gene

jojo's is a comedy anime

Just finished it. I like how part 2's jojo showed up early on so he could use his ability to find someone who showed themselves as soon as he arrived anyway. Then did absolutely nothing at all aside from kidnapping a baby. Then while much of the second half of the anime revolved around trying to find someone else he was nowhere to be found.

>>27608
Maybe so, but I don't believe it's intentional.
In this season things were so over the top silly and ridiculous that I could 'almost' believe it was intended, but it didn't feel like it was meant to be a comedy to me. There's no shortage of hilarious moments sure, but things seemed far too dark, gritty, and violent for this to be a comedy for one. The very first villain was introduced as someone who liked to rape and kill people, including children. You've got to have a twisted sense of humor to include something like that into your comedy. Besides, comedies tend to be episodic with actual jokes or funny situations. This was around half episodic half serial and there wasn't much in the way of actual jokes, the focus here was largely on action. The humor mainly came from "are you serious" moments, the kind found in movies that are "so bad they're good". I think the best proof of this is the main character's retconned power. They originally had him distort things he fixed which could have been a comedy gold mine, but it was changed to be more practical and usefully in and out of fights.

>>27561

Apparently there's going to be an OVA, where Rinne and Jill get additional focus, but I think the damage is already done. Tsuzuki is far from being new to writing, so it's a bit sad when even a series like Keijo has better written characters.

Predictable character destroying ending aside I must say I'm very surprised and a bit impressed that they had enough self restraint to go the entire season without having Fate or Nanoha make even a tiny cameo.

>>27581
Actually I'm disappointed in her parents for not showing up to watch their daughter's match and support her. They should have at least been in the stands cheering her on during >>27462, but I guess Nanoha & Fate are shitty parent's now who can't make time for their kid?

>>27585
No one's parents showed up to watch any of their kids fight as far as I could tell.

Why are the Japanese so obsessed with raping elves?

Looks like someone took a wrong turn and missed the jojo universe.

oh lord...

It's over for now I guess?
so... what happened to that Vietnam solider from the first ep?

Flip Flappers

What did you think of the ending?

>>27497
The first time I heard it I pretty much spent the rest of the day replaying it over and over again, then that night it was stuck in my head so deeply that I couldn't really sleep. I drifted in and out until morning, then I started to listen to it agian. I thought I'd gone crazy.

Fun times.

>>27570
flip flappers is a just a rework of raspberry heaven, the azumanga ed.

I desperately want to watch her die a slow painful death.

She's supposed to be smart but says mindbogglingly retarded pretentious garbage like this? The guy works two jobs and lives in a state of poverty to pay off debt he didn't accumulate himself to pay off a horrible bitch that makes his life hell. You can't be fucking serious...
Do they honestly expect anyone to feel sorry for that gigantic cunt? He should be licking her tears and laughing in her face, not feeling sorry for her just because she lost a living stress doll. What the literal fuck? I MEAN WHAT THE FUUUUCK?!
If I could I would beat this woman over the head with her own baby to knock some sense into her.
Then the guy discards the fucking lottery ticket out of some kind of guilt/paranoid fear for the debt collector! WHAT THE GOD DAMNFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK is wrong with these people?! It's like everyone in this anime is a moron or an asshole to some degree ...just like real life work places.
Sayuri is cool though.
Anyways, fuck this, dropped.

i like it

i was just searching ovas on nyaa and and saw some genshiken stuff. that reminded me of how greed and lack of creative abilities amongst the anime industry neurotypcals can take hold of a good series and ruin it real hard.
if you're not familiar with genshiken it started out as an all male anime club with one member having a gf and the series being somewhat unique and particularly amusing & interesting to real otaku. after a few seasons it was an all female costume club anime with a focus on relationship drama and fanservice.
working! was similar, it was uniquely good slapstick comedy in it's opening seasons and turned into just another soap opera by s3. makes me kind of happy for all the great animes which never got the 2nd or 3nd seasons they deserved. most of them would have been ultrashit. you thought endless 8 was crap? what if next season is a chunimoe crossover? suddenly endless eight is an all-time classic.
what do you estimate the odds are that the moneymen at kyoani or any of the other big time anime conglomerates & subsidiaries could produce a worthy sequel to any of the unfinished works of art which pepper anime history?
