Down Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Episode 2 of Akatsuki no Yona: O_O This episode was so good from beginning to end. First one had me convinced, second one has me pondering whether this will be the best non-sequel anime of the season. Like, really. I mean, beating the blockbuster F/SN is gonna be tough but I'm conquered. As far as I'm concerned this anime has the best artistic direction of the season. From the refined and detailed chara-design to the beautiful backgrounds, the soft, warm yet powerful colors, everything is great. And I'm really hooked by the story. That introduction was rather classical to say the least but well executed, and now it screams of adventure and I really hope it will deliver. Med-fan is really the theme of the season though. Yona aside, Garo, Shingeki no Bahamut and Nanatsu no Taizai all delivered good second episodes and seem to be solid picks. I guess you could count Log Horizon 2 in the bunch too (wow database wow) I have a few other shows I'll keep following for the lulz (Inou-battle isn't all that bad actually but it's so bland), but other than those I mentioned already the only other anime I'm having expectations for are UBW (ofc) and Amagi Brilliant Park (Might KyoAni end up delivering? I sure don't give a flying damn about the US rapper names but the show looks potentially interesting). Might pick up Parasyte but I'm not a fan of this kind of story and I already have a bunch of stuff to follow. SilverLi 1 Quote
Beato Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Might pick up Parasyte but I'm not a fan of this kind of story and I already have a bunch of stuff to follow. You should! It's really not my usual thing either but the first episode was great! Has an awesome cast as well, worth watching it just for Aya Hirano's performance as Migi alone. Quote

Down Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Why mention you dont give a damn? Of course it's not going to be relevant to you like it wouldn't ve relevant to me if they were named after someone from France. But I'm not going to express my disdain like that towards France. Quote
crunchytaco Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I knew you were hip like that brah . (I don't even touch rap to be honest) Quote
Jun Inoue Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 For people who have no idea who these people are. Kanye?! Other people mentioned that Kanie Seiya, from Amagi Brilliant Park, sounds a lot likeKanye Seiya. So I got a bit curious… Seiya (西也) is written with the kanji for west, so he is literally Kanye West. That explains is narcissism I guess. But that’s not all. Latifa Fleuranza is Queen Latifah (duh). Kanye’s sister’s name is Kyuubu Aisu = Ice Cube Kurisu Takaya, the guy from the second ep, is actually Chris Tucker. Sento Isuzu, took a while to figure out, but she is supposed to be 50 Cent I think. Sento = Cent and Isuzu means fifty bells it seems. So basically Amagi Brilliant Park is about Ice Cube’s little brother, Kanye West, who is working together with 50 Cent in order to help Queen Latifah run an amusement park. And then there is Chris Tucker trying to stop them. Yeah… - #aikamiteitoku #Tumblr This is so brilliant in a way; it might even be slightly offensive to some people. Quote
Jibril Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 For some reason I can't stop watching Chaika even though it's rather boring... That Kiseijuu episode 2, "Why are you talking to your Johnson?" Lost my sides here. Quote
crunchytaco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 What made season one Chaika appealing was the opening. Now the opening's bland too! Quote
Kosakyun Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 My god. This got me cracking up. sirjabberwock, suikashoujo, Kenshin_sama and 3 others 6 Quote
crunchytaco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Also asshole mascot is Saber's VA = In the OP of the Anime, there's this glaring typo I can't tell if intentional or not. Quote

Kenshin_sama Posted October 16, 2014 Author Posted October 16, 2014 As for the typo, I'd vote for mistake because this is Japan... I don't see what it could mean otherwise. Quote
crunchytaco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 It might be a little more clear in future episodes. I doubt Kyoani would do something noticeably bad like that since they tend to take visual quality very seriously (which is the only thing they're consistent with). You could have a point there. It would tie in with the shitty mascot and the shitty amusement park, theme.... Somehow I feel like I'm giving the Japanese to great a benefit of the doubt. Quote
Nosebleed Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Wondering how dumb the plot in Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu could get. It seems that bar keeps getting higher. Quote
crunchytaco Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Shigatus opening just spoiled the whole shoe for me. Quote
Ceris Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Just watched episode 1 of Yuki Yuna wa Yusha de Aru, it was epic, and I'm going to love this, totally not what I was expecting. Now on to episode 2 (2 episodes came out today) Quote

Ceris Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Watching ep 1 now but I'm hearing really bad things about it. Namely how it's just going to be another Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou (god how I hated that series) which essentially means cheap madoka magica rip off. Quote
Nosebleed Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Hmm I finished ep 1 now Definintely was not a trainwreck. The whole premise was at least much more well laid out than Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou was, although a lot of questions are unanswered, but there's no forced gore/drama and the art's not too bad either. I'll watch episode 2 tomorrow and draw more conclusions after, but regardless I'll keep watching. Quote
EliteShadowMan Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Watched the first 2 episodes of Yuki Yuna and liked what I saw so far. People on MAL instantly bringing down the score...just no. Quote
Jibril Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Psycho-pass got a tad boring for some reason... but Sigure and EGOIST made it all worth it. Twintails ni Narimasu best garbage show of all time, 10/10. Must watch. Tailreds for everyone!! Quote
