Death Parade is off to a good start. I only needed to know that it was the expanded upon Death Billiards ova to catch my attention. It's easily been more than a year, but I remember that ova vividly in how much I liked it.

Now we just need Little Witch Academia to get it's own series, and all will be right with the world.

I will buy the BDs if that is what it takes. Trigger needs another anime original. Keep it 1-cour, though. Don't spread the budget too thin.

I just got around to watching ep 2 of Death Parade, and I'm a little disappointed. It just feels too... on the nose. I felt that all the exposition and world building detracts from the mystique and ambiguity that makes the setting interesting. I feel it's the hallmark of a good drama to give the audience exactly what it needs to catch their attention, and then leave the rest to the imagination, and having characters give you a big tour guide of the whole show and all the characters introduce themselves, and elaborate what their jobs, abilities, and intentions are, is just TOO ON THE NOSE.

Hopefully my enjoyment of the series is not severely damaged by this direction they're taking, but I'm feeling it might, which is why I bring it up.

We'll see how Ninja Slayer X Animation turns out, their budget dropped like a stone apparently for this series but they got the guy from Inferno Cop running the show so lets see what they can do.

Just finished the second episode of The Rolling Girls. Not quite as epic as the first one, but the fact that it was a little more story setup heavy made up for it. Very interested to see where they go from here.

Also, WHO IS MACCHA GREEN? FIND OUT THIS AND MORE IN THE LATEST EPISODE OF "THE ROLLING GIRLS"!

(I couldn't resist )

Somebody leaked the names of several upcoming KanColle episodes.

Sounds more like a parody.

I watched the first episode.  Too much emphasis on cute girls.  Do they even have a concept for casualties in this series?  Will any of the cute ship girls ever be killeddestroyed?

Too much emphasis on cute girls.

Yep, definitely sounds like KanColle.

Also ship girls can definitely die/sink in the original game, but whether that'll ever happen in the anime... Probably not? And would it really make the show any better if they did?

Eh, depends on the writing.  I ask cause they are obviously sinking/destroying the enemy ship girls...  conveniently enveloped by large explosions or something.

Of course it's a parody. Do you really think Fubuki Does Not Have Enough Star Chips To Challenge Maximilian Pegasus and Loses would be a real episode?

I think the next episode will be a good indicator of what direction the anime is heading towards. If Kisaragi is damaged but not sunk, then there's not going to be any sinking. If Kisaragi sinks, she'll have sunk and there might be more sinkings. If she's totally fine, we might not have any sinkings, or the anime is winding up to throw a massive curve ball.

It'd be pretty great if it was...

That tree branch tho.

Picked up Yoru No Yatterman and I absolutely love it. Great concept and really heartfelt but fun.

It takes place generations after the original Yattterman 70s kid show where the descendants of the Yattermen have become the corrupt rulers of Yatter Kingdom after a huge war, and the descendants of the Doronbo Gang, the villain trio of the old show, take up the mantles of their ancestors and become heroic freedom fighters against the regime. You don't need to have seen the old show to get it in case you're worried, I had never heard of it until I learned about this show.

So in a word it's Team Rocket meets Megaman Zero

[Reelya]

That sounds like fun ...

I'm a bit slow this season, still catching up returning shows, saving the new ones to check out last.

Just watched the first episode of Tokyo Ghoul S2. This is really weird. The end of S1 felt like there was an episode missing, it had a weird introspective finale which didn't advance the action that was happening at all, it was like an NGE type ending. The first episode of S2 actually finishes off the action that was going on and ends on a clear chapter boundary: with one major arc finishing and hinting at the next one with the protagonist walking into the sunset (so to speak). It's like this episode was meant to be the season finale but it got totally held over for some reason. Maybe they fucked up their production deadline, it's the only thing that makes sense, with this ep being the clear finale of the last season, and there being that weird placeholder episode.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Episode 3 of KanColle just aired. I guess we know what direction the show is going now.
