Shingeki no Bahamut season 2 starts April 8th.

Speaking of second seasons airing in April: THE TITANS ARE BACK.

//youtube.com/watch?v=N1VIPrRJidg

Might as well ask. What was Tiger & Bunny about? Did it end, or got cancelled?

>93795
Series had a sequel movie, not sure beyond that.

>93794
Considering new chapters are pretty blatant about Nazi Germany and Jewish metaphors I wonder how much of that's going to end up in the anime.

"Don't worry little boy, I just put a liquor bladder in your crushed head when I put it back together."

>93802
People need to learn to put the title in filenames so people who might be interested can find it easily. Also, fuck Google's changes to reverse image search.

I think I'm gonna sit out this anime season, since Persona is about to hit. Nothing I saw on the list looked interesting enough to keep my attention during what precious little time I'm gonna have left not playing.

>93805
To You, the Immortal

>93818
Thank you. Seems I had it bookmarked to read at some point already, and it turned out even more interesting than I thought from what you posted.

Iron Blooded Orphans might not have been the best Gundam series, but I loved it and might be my favorite Gundam series I've watched so far. I was on unsure if I liked S1, but I marathoned the S1 dub and IBO felt more coherent on the rewatch. Although I suspect that if I ever get around to rewatching 00 s1 or Wing or Zeta I might change my mind.

Also, the dub for s1, and maybe eventually s2, is free on youtube. I'm not the biggest fan of dubs, but I like this one.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJV1h9xQ7Hx-mZk_wLZgc1FcJU-Skw2Zm

Iron Blooded Orphans wasn't bad, but I just could not get invested.
I've been watching Unicorn though, and I'm hooked.
Also, fuuuuuck it's a lot more blatantly brutal than any of the other Gundams I've watched.

It's back.

>Uchoten S2
>Bahamut S2
>Sakura Quest
This is gonna be a good season.

Oh jesus he CAN smile!

Tade is cute!
CUTE!

>“Attack on Titan” S2 coming to Toonami this Sunday
>three weeks after it began airing in Japan

Exactly how many souls did Toonami and Funimation have to sacrifice for this? (Then again, given the show’s popularity, putting a rush job on this was likely going to happen regardless of its airing on Toonami.)

>93836
Not enough, apparently. S2 is only confirmed for 12 episodes so far.

>93836
Didn't Space Dandy air in the US the same day as Japan?

>93838
Space Dandy aired in the US before Japan.

>93839
By an hour, if I recall correctly.

I love how Nina has "OH NO, HE'S HOT" moments for the cast of hot men in Bahamut. I don't like her as much as Amira yet, but she could become a wonderful character in her own right.

https://twitter.com/shirobako_anime/status/859413169285980160

Shirobako announcement in the near future. Get cautiously optimistic.

Jojolion ended up being Breaking Bad, magic fruit edition.

Toonami is bringing back the world’s best thief: “Lupin the 3rd”—the 2015 “blue jacket” series, that is—will steal the show starting on the 17th of June.

Tokyo Ghoul had some fucking development.

>93870
Anime or manga? though you are still right on both counts.

Oh God. Fire Punch. This is so fucking fucked up. I mean everything in this manga is fucked up, but somehow this latest thing hit me real fucking hard. I feel so gross and uncomfortable.

>93872
OH GOD IT KEEPS BEING WORSE

Man, that HD release of the “Sailor Moon R” movie is lovely.

It's also a Shonen Jump series so it's in the wrong thread.

>93878
Duly noted.

That first episode of LWA got retroactively turned into a gut-wrencher. Fuck.

>93891
I wondered what you could possibly mean and uh

wow

that was not where I thought this was going

Attack on Titan R2 made an interesting call with episode 10, and showed a flashback scene we only just got in the manga.

In the manga we had all the revelations to understand what was going on, but in the anime the flashback becomes a big Lost-style mystery that still drops a few clues about the overall premise manga readers at that point never got. Makes me wonder how it'll change their view on the next several plot arcs.

For maximum FTW, no description.

Wasn't expecting feels from a manga about a succubus.

>93897
I love this.

Pluto anime confirmed.

>93899
I'm not finding any source for that "one episode per volume" claim. It's been a while since I read Pluto, but that sounds like a bad and unlikely idea.

http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/souboutei-must-be-destroyed-r21474

Souboutei Must Be Destroyed

The story of the world declaring war on a VERY evil haunted house.

So I'm watching all of Gundam in release order and I'm about to start Stardust Memories. It's only 13 episodes. I don't know if this is a good or bad sign. War in the Pocket was good and it was 6 episodes, but F91 was a rushed as fuck movie.

Upcoming season looks awfully lackluster. I'm just gonna wait and see if there's a surprise among them. Currently not planning on watching a single thing.

>93914
DUDE YOU BETTER FUCKING WATCH MADE IN ABYSS

/a/ is going nuts over their terrible tomboy series

>93916
Cotton Candy is going full madman. Going nuts is the least they should do.

Dammit, I waited six months for Little Witch Academia to hit Netflix, and now I find out they only have the first half and don't have a schedule on the rest.

>93918
Look what patience and paying for anime got you. Next you are going to tell me you also pay for that Amazon anime service, right? Incredible.

Side note, I actually stopped bothering with keeping up with LWA while it was airing due to it losing my interest after episode 8. It was a really good episode, but I kind of got backlog'd on seasonal anime and LWA kept getting bottom priority on catching up.

>93917
Carol is the only worthwhile part of that entire series.
Everything else is either dull or infuriating, existing only to drag things out longer.

wut

I haven't thought about anime in a while, but I remembered something in Kino's Journey recently and wanted to rewatch it. I looked it up on Hulu and Crunchyroll. They removed it from Hulu and Crunchyroll. I tried to download it from Bakabt. Bakabt closed itself to the public and pruned my username for inactivity. I tried finding it on Nyaatorrents. Nyaatorrents is down. I tried TokyoToshokan. It's not available there. It took a long damn time to find a way to watch Kino's Journey, is my point.

Since the legitimate, paid streaming sites will periodically remove shows for funsies, and all the old piracy sites are disappearing - is it going to get harder and harder to watch old anime? Am I gonna have to start buying Blurays now? They definitely didn't make Blurays for some old shows I love very much, like Planetes and Simoun. Good thing I already have those.

>93922
You are in luck, friendo. I have what you need. nyaa.si
Do keep in mind that since nyaa was deleted and Bakabt became private with no notice the... supply has been a bit on the sparse side for stuff that isn't recent or has a fanbase.
and some more links for the archive /m/ is scrounging together. https://pastebin.com/SdJ3rbn4
Also, GET HYPE! KINO NO TABI SEASON 2 is confirmed. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/03/12/new-tv-anime-to-adapt-kinos-journey

>93923
Oh hell yes, thank you. This is going to help a lot. I can only hope that the new Kino isn't going to sexualize her too much or turn her into a "moe" character. I love her deadpan, gunslinging, amazingly competent survivalist self just the way it is.

>the “Utena” Blu-ray release finally lands later this year

ABOUT FUCKIN' TIME.

Bondrewd, The Lord of Dawn might literally be the worst ever scumbag villains.

From Made in Abyss.

Finished Gundam Stardust Memories recently. It could have been better. The main character and romance was bad to infuriating at times, but the animation was pretty good.

>93935
HOW CAN HE BE EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT

>93941
AND WORSE STILL?

>93941
>93942
Damn something about the style of this makes me think "fetish art". In which case who the fuck would be into that shit.

>93941
>93942
I really do hope that the anime adaptation goes well. I haven't watched episode 1 yet, but I have some hopes for it.

Princess Principal is a wonderful surprise and everybody should give it a try.

Well when you start seeing shit like this you can be sure you are in an Abyss.

>93946
Subnautica?

Y'alls should read Grand Blue. Can't remember the last time I laughed so heartily.

>93943
It reminds me of Xration's art style.

I may be too faint of heart to continue reading Kengan Asura.

Tokyo Ghoul's universe does not fuck around, "yo, your cool super organ that makes bladed bone weapons? Well it's got cancer fucker, enjoy."

>93954
Tokyo Ghoul also answers why anime protagonists don't shave off their stupid hair.

Geass recap movies mean S3 is coming soonish. I'm still of the opinion S3 of Code Geass is a bad idea, but I have to watch it.

>Who gives a fuck?

I could ask the same thing about your post.

>93962
1 and 2 were good, it was just 3 that sucked.

And 3 still LOOKED fucking cool.

So I read the entirety of Pluto in a sitting


fuck

“Outlaw Star” will return to Toonami on the 19th of August; it will take the 2:30 am slot that was being used for reruns of “Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex”.

The Toonami gang is trying to get Episode 23 (aka “the hot springs episode where you see the catgirl naked”) cleared for air. It would have to be edited, of course, but still.

"Hitler and Einstein's Heart to Heart About Elder God Mickey Mouse" may not for sure be the weirdest chapter of anything I've ever read but it's up there

>93968

…wat

>93969
I've read 140 chapters of Billy Bat today as of this post and boy

let me tell you some SHIT

Finished it. Weird ending, neat ride.

>93906
I love how it's so evil that you become possessed by a need to wipe it off the face of the earth.


SOUBOUTEI MUST BE DESTROYED!

>93971
Oh crap, I started reading that a few years ago, got about 60 chapters in (up to the end of the Lee Harvey Oswald plotline), and decided I'd wait until it was over to read the rest. I had no idea it ended over a year ago.

I've forgotten so much, I should probably just start over.

>93973
the Oswald stuff is before the real weird shit even starts

I finished rereading Monster and liked it a lot more than when I tried it 10 years ago. Pluto and BB are better tho.

20th Century Boys is next I suppose.

There's 200 more chapters and a short sequel of this jesus christ

And that's that.

Coulda done without the anti-proton bomb stuff but whatever.

Yeah the very very end feels a bit unneeded, but everything else about 20th Century Boys is incredible.

>93978
It's good but also one can totally see how a lot of its devices and themes are polished up and massively improved in Billy Bat (which, hey, it's the later work so fair enough).

I really hope the Made in Abyss anime doesn't rush an anime original ending. It's that or the 13 episodes that it's confirmed for better have a season 2 confirmed on the last episode.

Netflix finally put up the second half of Little Witch Academia.

My skin is clear. My crops are thriving. Anime has been saved yet again. I give Little Witch Academia an absolute unequivocal recommendation.

Well, one small equivocation. If you're the type of person who really needs their story's plots to be perfectly and completely consistent and explained in its mechanisms, you may find some aspects of the finale frustrating. But here's the thing: I normally AM that person and I didn't give a shit, it worked so well on every single other level that I adored it.

Owarimonogatari season 2 second and third episode were very good.

>93980
They're over halfway through the series and they still haven't even introduced the little rabbit girl who shows up as a key part of the ED so it's extremely unlikely they're going to try to end it there.

Finally got around to watching Made in Abyss.

Right after episode 1 I know I will never read the mango. The soundtrack and cinematography are both too good.

>94001
The manga is pretty solid but the anime is basically everything it strove to be, including incorporating a lot of scenes the author wanted but didn't have time for, and ditching or toning down the creepier pedobait aspects.

Is this "multiple characters lying on grass" thing a japanese meme or something?

>94003
Yes.

>94004
Eeeeeh, doesn't count. The angle's not the same.

I call this art.

>episode 6
Stephen King would love Made in Abyss.

>94008
>Episode 10
I'm impressed by how grim this show can get without making it feel too exploitative like Elfen Lied did.

Best girl.

>94011

>eps 10 & 11
This is the most gut-wrenching and horrifying thing I have seen in years.

>94013
The series is just underaged misery porn, right?

>94014
No, but I legit did not expect the fluffiness to be brought up like that.

>94014
Going into it I was worried it would be, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how matter-of-fact it is with all the grim stuff. Could just be the anime though. The manga had a bunch of dumb shota fanservice scenes that got toned down or left out of the show.

I always read Bondrewd in Sho Hayami's voice so I can't help but feel a bit disappointed even though Morikawa is an equally perfect fit.

How did YOU spend your Tuesday?

>94019
Fucking ate my filename. Basically an example of how clone/mirror tool was used to lazily create that image.

Rewatching Birdy Decode. Again.

Made in Abyss's soundtrack is so good.

>Paramount Pictures and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot have won the rights to adapt the blockbuster Japanese animated movie Your Name.

Thank you, Variety, for reporting something that makes this year even worse than ever.

>94023
You have an option to ignore it.

>94024
In a vacuum, sure, but it's not in a vacuum.

>94023
Wake me up where there are talks of a series long Nausicaä adaptation.

>94027
No way. Whether you prefer the mango, or animu, both versions are not only perfect as a standalone work, but also in some ways products of their time. Should be left alone as an 80s sci-fi thing.

>94030

You would always have the option to ignore it.

>94031
And so I shall.

Made in Abyss ended really strongly. Excellent anime all around, look forward to a second season whenever it comes out and I'm totally willing to wait if it's as good as this one was.

>94033
It is one of the few recent animus that I love, up there with Space Dandy. I am so picky and watch so little anime, so maybe that's why.

I wish Stephen King watched it.

And speaking of Abyss, listening to this right after episode 13, and it fits amazingly
http://boards.plus4chan.net/mtv/t40282.html#p48260

>94016
The manga has a lot of naked loli titties, which the anime thankfully toned down. I'm not a huge moralfag and I don't think it automatically turns everyone reading it into an IRL child molester but I just find that shit fucking gross.

It looks like one bad casting choice may have killed Black Clover's chances to be the new big thing of the season, and I couldn't be happier.

>94037
How so?

Looks like I'm gonna have to start reading Made in Abyss. That anime was just that good in my opinion. All the misery porn or other undesirable aspects are minor problems in my eyes as I feel the whole package is just that strong.

>94039
If you liked the anime, I say continue liking the anime, and wait for season 2 like everyone else does. There isn't a god who will punish you for not checking the mango.

Tokyo Ghoul has gone full Lovecraft.

And Golden Kamuy is laying on the fanservice pretty thick.

As I grow older I'm finding my taste moving from testosterone-fueled ultra-violence to exceedingly mushy shoujo romance. Kiss my fictional daughter already, you stupid nice indecisive wonderful pretty boy!

A Will Eternal is my favorite dumb shit shenanigans light-novel.

Is this overdrawn boxing manga coming to an end?

Heard its actually taking notice in the plot of how bad Ippo's boxing instructor actually is, and how stupidly the main character acts in the ring.

This is a wonderful season for returning and new anime.

>94043
I hope you are watching Ancient Magus Bride this season. It's my currently my favorite anime airing this season.

>94054
oh they adapted the chain story already? I haven't watched S2, I guess they're shuffling some story order around.

Watching season 2 of Birdy Decode. This show only gets better with time.

Oh just fuck off already with this shit, Japan.

>94058
Great logic, makes purrfect sense.

>94058
Ah yes, childbirth in early teens, aka the age at which there's the highest rate of death by childbirth as well as irrevocable damage to the reproductive system even if it is a success, therefore ensuring that the population will definitely not go up.

>94058
If you think thats bad, take a look at this anime that aired recently. I've been told the manga is still on-going.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/34934/Koi_to_Uso
>In a futuristic society, Japan has implemented a complex system referred to as "The Red Threads of Science" to encourage successful marriages and combat increasingly low birthrates. Based on a compatibility calculation, young people at the age of 16 are assigned marriage partners by the government, with severe repercussions awaiting those who disobey the arrangement.
And keep in mind, everyone gets paired up and all of these arranged marriages are het. So the big question, that was never answered and at least hinted at, what about homosexuals? It's implied that if they don't want to ruin their lives, they just live in a sexless marriage.

>94062
Isn't the major point of the story right from the get go that the system is awful, since MC doesn't get paired with the girl he actually loves?

>94063
>Isn't the major point of the story right from the get go that the system is awful
Debatable. What I got from the anime was not that the system was malicious, but that young hormonal teenagers are dumb horny teenagers that don't know how to relations. It was just bog standard high school romance garbage that could have utilized its interesting scifi-ish twist, which it did not.
>since MC doesn't get paired with the girl he actually loves?
HA! HAHAHA! Ha ha... Yeah, sure, but he also loves the girl he got betrothed to so I feel that is moot.

Houseki no Kuni is a genuinely surprising anime, a gem if you will. Interesting concept and art is wonderful in my opinion.

Well, shit.

>94077
I wonder if that is possible with lower gravity.

>94079
That's one of coolest ideas in Wuxia, affecting your environment as well as yourself.

Basically in the mythology of Wuxia perception is a key component, if the wall in the mind is cardboard I can project that with my mind on to the real wall.

So why not punch the wall, it's cardboard isn't it?

Imagine a world where EVERYONE is Pai Mei from Kill Bill.

Hey, we're back.

Speaking of Hero Academia- I'm really looking forward to the movie.
Even just for the chance to see the characters in action if nothing else, and some young All Might.

Have something Samhain related.
