Wow, that was some horrible subbing. Couldn't tell who was saying what when two are talking at the same time and it often didn't keep it all on the screen long enough for me to read it.

Yeah, stream subs have gotten really awful of late it seems. Could it hurt them to set song lyrics in a different color/font than the dialogue & maybe not place it directly over people's face?

While the isekai (summon from another world genre) is getting too much play. I still find Demon King amusing since i did read the manga. Not sure how far they will get with this. This sort of Konosuba but its on different method. Why it's harem type, the main character has to fake he's being cool where he in real life is a NEET type guy. He indeed more powerful. The humor blended with the story unfolding. It's fan-service vehicle for sure, but it's funny at least to me if you try ignore some excessive stuff and slave thing. :-\

If I were to choose one from manga or anime, which one do you recommend? Also does the NEET demon king ever kiss a girl?

The first episode was a little flat to me, though the second episode was much better. Still don't see it being better than Overlord or KONOSUBA. Time will tell.

Oh well... still have 900 more episodes of One Piece to go anyway. Tuesday can't come fast enough.

Manga

Anime fine so far, but depth manga gives you will not disappointed.

So if you watched anime first, you won't be disappointed by reading the manga. ;D

Two episodes in on Hataraku Saibou, I can say with some certainty that 'Osmosis Jojones' is a very tight adaptation of the manga and overall fantastic. The show maintains some fair quality on action scenes and is littered with little background scenes that are rooted in actual biological fact, and somehow manages to be simultaneously educational and entertaining. It also has the most adorable interpretation of platelets I've ever seen.

For some extra fun...
An doctor's been commenting on the ep, and is going to be making this an ongoing thing.

We waited how many years for another season of FMP! and this is the last epidode???

Someone please tell me they are already working on another season? Please? :'(

Really enjoying the current season of Overlord. But when i readed that there is an anime of Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu.....the manga was awful, and the little i saw of the anime is even worse.

Always gonna be a cliff-hangar. This section of the novels (and the manga adaptions and the anime adaptions based on those) is pretty fast and furious with the action and thus pretty much ends up on a cliff-hangar.

Just finished that myself and I Agree. There better damn well be another season coming in the near future...

That said i really liked the little touch at the end, where the final credits song was the intro from the first season of FMP.

I can live with a cliff hanger, as long as there's another season coming, and not ten or eleven years from now.

That was a very cool reference to the original season.

I was also thinking at the end, this was really a bit different than previous seasons of FMP! Even if we ignore FUMOFU, the series up to now has been something of a balance of comedy and action. This season was really pretty relentlessly dark from beginning to end. Not that FMP! hasn't done dark before (the scene in The Second Raid where Sousuke killed Gauron in cold blood when he thought Gauron murdered Kanami) but it never seemed as overall dark before.

Still I really enjoyed Invisible Victory and I really do hope we see another season before too long!

Yeah, watched it last week. Wasn't all that impressed.

Every time I see something with characters talking about evolution on an individual level, I want to track the writers down and beat them unconscious with a college biology textbook.

Istal_Devalis · « **Reply #194 on:** 26 July 2018, 09:21:25 »

It's based on a franchise involving a 100 meter tall mutant dinosaur powered by atomic radiation...and it's the junk science on evolution that bugs you? That's not even getting into the giant moth with mystical properties tied into the spirit of the Earth, or the two headed space dragon that shoots lightning.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #195 on:** 26 July 2018, 09:49:46 »

I'm willing to suspend my disbelief for giant monsters because giant monsters are fun and necessary for the plot.

But I'm really sick of evolution being portrayed as if it works like Pokemon, something that is absolutely not plot relevant here. And given how poorly the general public understands evolution, depictions like this actually reinforce misconceptions about evolution.

It's annoying and it doesn't add anything to the movie.

Attack on Titan's author Isayama Hajime recently updated his blog and has revealed that there are going to be some changes made to the story in season 3 when compared to the manga. He admits that he wasn't exactly in great shape when he was writing volumes 13-16 so he explicitly expressed that he wanted the team to improve the plot in season 3. Which means manga readers are about to get a new and improved version of the story and anime only watchers should be even more hyped.

Ok. High Score Girl is great.
For what I expected was a 30 minute arcade advertisement masquerading as an anime nostalgia-trip, I was entirely unprepared for that emotional sucker punch.

Then I went and rewatched the OP and realised they telegraphed it entirely without context.

Also, it's a romance. I didn't see that coming.

Recently had the chance to watch Wolf Children. I can see now why it is recommended so highly and so often.

One of the things I felt that was very interesting about the film (for an animated film) is how Hosoda chose to hang on into some scenes a little longer than would have been typical even in an anime film. Where another director might have cut a scene, Hosoda would linger on it or show more that was just strictly necessary to cover just the story or plot element at the moment. It really made the story much more immersive and grounded to me.

I did of course make a really inappropriate joke during the scene when Hana and the unnamed wolf-man "get together" that earned me a whack from my wife...

You think THIS season is dark? It gets darker. There is no more screwball stuff. That was just a trick to make you love the characters and flinch every time one of them gets kicked in the balls. It is just a spiral downward into the secrets of the Whispered and the horrible heart that beats at the center of their reality.

Fortunately, it seems like they covered three LNs in this last season, so the next season should take us all the way to the end as there's only three more in the main series...

...Which I'm sure is scheduled to come out in 2024. >:D

So far this season I'm in the same boats as most of you - Overlord III, Cells at Work, and High Score Girl. I binged the Overlord novels last month so it's still fresh on my mind to see the differences in presentation.

Have they released past season 2 on DVD? I picked the first two seasons as a set from WalMart, but haven't seen any others...

In other news, I've purchased, but haven't yet watched, the Starblazers 2199 part 1 set...trying to get through two used sets of Dark Shadows first, as need to know by no more than 4 days from now if I needed to take them back...and at 40 half hour episodes per set, it takes a while to go through those...

Checking Amazon doesn't show any disc releases beyond season two.

Given that the series is a Netflix Original, I don't think they've got much incentive to put it out on disc.

Other than to cash into the market of those that would like to see the series, but don't do Netflix or other streaming services...

Of course, I'm probably in the minority in that regard any more...
