Also watched Rising of the Shield Hero. It's refreshing to see a shonen protagonist who isn't suffering from a terminal case of stupidity, but RPG mechanics Iseki stories are getting overdone. Also joked with some friends about how much more interesting it would be to see someone who winds up in one of those worlds decide that it's past time to tear down the feudal society and install a modern representative government in its place.

I think there's several manga like that, one is How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom and there was another one with a group of super geniuses "crashing" with their plane into a fantasy world. More like SUPERNATURAL geniuses though.

Just finished binge watching one of the saddest animes ever, called 'Your Lie in April.' A very good story that was told told well and featured some outstanding music. A good watch overall.

Not an Anime...but its Space R/C Battleship Yamato! ;)

Taking the "space is an ocean" trope entirely too literally.

I watched the video where they had it in the water a few years back. Still cool to watch now.

If only they armed with BB guns in the turrets and fought a Gamelon Battleship, then they'd get a crowds going (or running).

Started watching Lucky Star.

I don't understand this show and I can't stop watching it.

The scene where they're sitting there talking about the right way to eat a pastry(first scene?) is what got me. It was dumb at first, but then I realized I've more or less had the same conversation with friends.

Friend of mine calls it anime Seinfeld.

That seems to be everyone's initial reaction! ;D

The first few episodes seem kind of dull & by every right should bore you to death, but for some strange reason it's infectious & you just keep watching until you love it!

Anyone recognize this character and know what show they're from?

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #1390 on:** 02 August 2019, 21:37:34 »

Looks like a character from a 70s or 80s American cartoon.

Google image search turns up only a dead 4chan link about fan redraws.

ANS Kamas P81 · « **Reply #1392 on:** 02 August 2019, 23:16:33 »

That's probably what it is, then, just fanart. That's all I'd found, myself. Thanks!

i turned it up, but they're not from a show, they're the work of some character designer spitballing ideas for a project they'd like to do someday.

Well, the first OVA for That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime is up.

Like the second season of the show, it pretty much demonstrates that the writer ran out of ideas after the orc invasion arc and just gave us more anime cliches. At least they lampshade the fanservice by having the guys posing in skimpy swimsuits right after the ladies do.

kato · « **Reply #1395 on:** 03 August 2019, 12:11:02 »

Actually, it's more like they had to pick random stuff out of the underlaying material since it continues in major arcs after where the anime caught up to it.

They could have made a nice OVA series (with fanservice and all) out of the usa-girl spinoff though.

Neat, nice find Orin.

Well this is interesting...
TMS Entertainment's Anime Youtube channel has added a playlist and first three eps, English Dub, of Magic Knight Rayearth.
What's nice is while the ep is the Media Blasters' English Dub, the OP and EP are the original Japanese. Such nostalgia. I rather enjoy MKR.

Luciora · « **Reply #1398 on:** 03 August 2019, 13:14:50 »

Still wish I picked up the Sega RPG for it. I actually have a SM CD signed by the voice actresses somewhere too.

Don't know if anyone here has played it, but the anime RPG BESM (Big Eyes, Small Mouth) is currently kickstarting their 4th edition. Ends in a few days. Never noticed that it was Japanime Games doing it until I saw their pamphlet at Gencon.

Speaking of Japanime, I picked up what looks like it should be a very fun game. The game itself is a harem anime. Each player's goal is to make sure "best girl" gets the protagonist in the end. It's a bummer that the girls are handed out at random so you don't get to pick your favorite trope, but at least that should help avoid any fist fights over the Genki Girl. ;D

Love Battle High School is real fun, especially with 4-5 players! Nobody picks a "best girl", though! It's essentially a wagering game where you put down a bet on the one you think will win Shujinko-kun & then work to make it happen! Good times!

Sounds similar to one I'm playing online right now: High School Harem Comedy RPG.

The game has been fun, as we're trying to A) fend off all the NPCs trying to get the protagonist for themselves, B) Get the protagonist for ourselves, C) prevent the clueless protagonist from figuring out that he's the only human in a high school full of youkai.

Am i the only one a little disappointed with the most recent DanMachi episode? Don't misunderstand, it was fun and good, and a very plausible plan, but with all the build-up it seems a bit of a waste to win the wargame in just one episode....

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1403 on:** 04 August 2019, 22:15:13 »

The war game arc did feel a little rushed overall. It has been awhile since I read the LN so I don't remember how long this arc lasted compared to the brothel arc (as I call it).

Even disappointed I have enjoyed this season so far.

Top Sergeant · « **Reply #1404 on:** 04 August 2019, 22:37:14 »

I absolutely loved it because I got to see more of Lyu kicking butt!.

MadCapellan · « **Reply #1405 on:** 05 August 2019, 04:33:14 »

The pacing itself didn't bother me - honestly anything more would have felt like that single battle had been dragged out to kill time! The only way I coud be disappointed is if what is to follow winds up comparatively uninteresting...

Notsonoble · « **Reply #1406 on:** 06 August 2019, 15:03:30 »

For someone who enjoyed Another, When They Cry, what should I be watching now?

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #1407 on:** 14 August 2019, 00:05:06 »

Trying Astra Lost In Space

Show would be improved by the addition of a living ship filled with strange alien life.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #1408 on:** 17 August 2019, 09:05:52 »

Cannon Busters showed up on Netflix.

It's like Trigun and Space Dandy had a baby that was given to a really gory show to raise.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1409 on:** 17 August 2019, 15:02:25 »

Liked Trigun but haven't watched Space Dandy. Will have to give a pair of shows a try it seems.
