Going to get this ball rolling, since we're mere posts away from 50 on the last thread.

Anyone else watching Shadows House? Definitely one of my big favorites this season - stylish, creepy, mysterious and very unique! Can't wait to see how Kate & Emilico finish their debut.

Popping in to this thread for the first time to say I am 100% sold on 86, and that's despite being totally indifferent to all the mecha designs in it.

The mecha designs are pretty realistic, which is to say, unromantic, but it's usually the story that makes or breaks a real robot show, & 86 has that in spades.

You have my interest, who's releasing it?

If you mean anime studio, it's Cloverworks, with all the Sony money

If you mean streaming provider, it's...*checks*...Funimation, with all the Sony money.

Is there any word yet on whether Sony is going to merge Funimation and Crunchyroll once the acquisition is complete? I mean, we all assume it's going to happen, right?

Time for a new avatar picture in the profile for the new thread.

Yuugiri from Zombie Land Saga R. Surprisingly good, and not just for the OP song totally spoofing Cutie Honey. They're doing the usual episodic omnibus backstory arc this season, and some of that has a surprising amount of plot. And unlike the others she actually gets a multiple episode arc herself.

I kind of like Crunchimation myself.

Can't say enough good things about 86. I'm basically a comedy/slice-of-life guy these days, can't remember the last time an action series held my interest this way, any I've watched in the past few years were basically just something to casually pass the time.

I'm hoping they roll Funimation into Crunchyroll, but I'm assuming the opposite is more likely.

Another great episode of 86. Lena was really hit with harsh reality even more than before and turns out that Republic is even more corrupt than we thought. It also turned out that Shin and his brother were experimented on to create that device that they use to communicate as well as that Shin was Annette's childhood friend before war started. Also what a ahole Lena's uncle is.

Finished Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki. It had some interesting things to say about social dynamics. Ending was rather limp though. Not as bad as I feared but not terribly satisfying either.

Catching up with Vivy after a bit of a pause. Guess i wasn't wrong about it being a bit more complicated "behind the scenes" than what we were shown. And they continue to straight-up rip off Ghost in the Shell for select visuals.

Even if in episode 9 Katakani not just as a Cyborg, but performing on a parallel mission was a bit surprising to me. And the, uh, minor revelations around the credits of episode 10.

So Tenchi Muyo finally finished its run, at least until they fish up another one from this franchise.  Hilariously after Madcap's comment that Tenchi hit the level cap and they switched characters, the episode is about Kenshi of course - and the title is "The Max Level Hero(?) Departs."  So it's basically a prequel to War On Geminar now.

Oh, and Ryoko was first.  Then Aeka.  Also 'dude she's a cabbit' strongly implied.

Well then in 86 we saw Lena do something that we didn't expect her to do but I am happy that she did.

She pretty much made Annette help her to hack mortar controls to help Spearhead by revealing Annette that Shin was in that unit and asking from Annette is he going to abandon Shin third time. Way Lena talked to Annette showed that she was willing to go against orders in order to help and that she was done waiting.

Re 86: All I could think was "Lena, you manipulative bitch! Good girl!" But I do wonder what the repercussions for this will be. I can't see them going easy on her, after all, she did something that was expressly forbidden, and she always has been pushing the edge of permissable behavior...

Well that's true. I can think that so far they had went easy on her because she did things within that corrupted system and because her uncle is high ranking officer but I can see him no longer going easy on her after that.

Ahem.
Easily recognizable soundbite of Kenji Kawai's "M01 Chant 1 - Making of Cyborg" in Vivy ep 11. As in original 1995 Ghost in the Shell soundtrack.

And that just after the Arayashiki declared its intention to cleanse the world of the "current" humans.

As for the story, we're coming to the expected plot close now. Actually surprised there's two more eps.

It is from episode 3 of Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO: The Gravity Front. The MS IGLOO series has a great story if you can put up with the really dated CGI. Give it a spin, if you can track it down!

Vivy has really been good all season: just one more episode, please keep up the high quality story!
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

Next season seems to be full of gore or derivative stuff (prime example Peach Boy Riverside).

From trailers i assume though that at least Tsuki ga Michibiku ("Moonled Journey" - seems the title will be "Moonlit Fantasy" on CR) will have the handful ickier scenes in that regard removed throughout its likely run.

Trailer-based: At minimum from the trailer i assume Toa's story and the entire beginning arc in the first village to be changed entirely, as i don't think her party ever fights Rizur as in the trailer - that party ain't remotely high-level enough, especially against more than one. - Icky spoilers, partially of adult nature: And with that kinda change they'll probably also turn the whole drugged-up prostitution and planned human experimentation scene of her initial appearance into something more palpatable. I also doubt they'll run the Rembrandt arc with the relatively extreme torture, presumably tone down the terrorist adventurers and their demise and while the whole turning-the-hero-into-a-living-weapon thing later on might fly, scenes like the hypnotized maid being burned alive or the - effective - suicide bomb attack against the demon general would probably have to go.
