I wonder, is the bleach anime still going on or are they still beating that dead horse alongside narutard and one piss?

Did Kenpachi ever get in touch with his femine side and learn to talk to his sword?
Does his sword still look like a thing he used to break rocks?

Also about half way through the Patlabor the TV series, really enjoyed it so far.

Betelgeuse is surprisingly likeable. Though Subaru has pretty severe issues, especially if what he does to his later lifeless corpse is any indication.

We'll probably get a second season eventually. Not quite sure how far the LN is, since that's the source material for the anime, Arc 5 or Arc 6 probably. The WN is barely halfway through the plot, and that's in Arc 8 or something, so who knows?

Also, reminder that Satella is future Rem and Aldebaran (the guy you never see without the full helm and is missing an arm) is future Subaru. We all know it to be true in our hearts and minds, and it'd explain why Satella is identical to Emilia.

pls say this is just conjecture (if it's not just say it is anyway pls for muh sanity), I've not read the LNs or the WN (do plan to read them after finishing the anime tho)

Dangan Ronpa 3 Future Arc aired its first episode and damn son, it took it only a few minutes to spoil the first two games to heck and beyond. Absolutely avoid it if you have any intention to play the games. Not that there's much reason to watch it without playing them, of course.

I am psyched for it though. Very curious to see where it's gonna go, and the Despair Arc too.

Started watching BraBuster.. I mean BustGunner... err GunBuster!!

For an anime thats 28 years old its aged remarkably well. Character design and art direction are top notch, animation is really smooth and fluid... especially on the gratuitous bouncing melons.

Subbed only and suffers "OVA plot is all over the place" syndrome though.

I love gunbuster to death but they really force the "drama" on you early without even a chance to get used to the characters.

Re:Zero is so good what the fuck, why didn't I start watching much earlier.

Protagonist is a bit of a loser but not too much, genre savy and fourth wall breaking without getting annoying, and his only superpower requires him to literally die before it takes effect.

I've seen worse in terms of suffering.

I give it props for starting out like a harem anime and then taking a detour into some dark spaces, but it keeps trying to turn back into a harem anime too much. It's hard to take seriously when the MC flip flops between weird fourth-wall breaking anime identifiers and then trying to be tearfully emotional.

The show wants to have serious drama but also be a fun harem show at the same time and it can't.

I would say the inconsistent flip flop mc is why I like it.

Harem mc bot 3046 deserves to suffer.

His only redeeming feature is having his shit kicked in.

The moment the world gives him a break he's right back to friend zoning bitches into his event horizon.

Ricotez · Post by **Ricotez** » Thu Jul 14, 2016 1:23 am #195376

Okay yeah wow, he is kinda starting to get annoying after a whole episode where nothing happens. It was less noticeable while he got his stomach sliced open every few minutes.

Don't worry, each happy go lucky section just makes the next death all that much more painful for him.

> I literally can't understand Subaru's character.

Protip: Subaru was always a broken person since ep. 1. His cheerful and happy demeanor is nothing but a facade. He doesn't love Emilia, he's merely used her as a sort of anchor in the world where otherwise he doesn't have a home, a place in life, or anything, and designates her as the heroine since she was the only person that showed him kindness. Worse yet, he doesn't actually care about anything that Emilia says, keeping promises with her, or even just trusting her, as you saw a few episodes ago. For Subaru, Emilia is an object to be saved and protected, whose destiny is to eventually love him, regardless of the reality. She can't protect herself, in his mind, it always has to fall on his own onus to protect her. The timelooping excaberates Subaru's idiosyncrasies and she quickly goes from being a mere anchor in the world, to being a 'heroine', to being his raison d' etre. There also might be some Satella fuckery that's causing him to be oddly attached to Emilia.

Also, there is no harem. The most you get is a love triangle between Rem, Subaru, and Emilia, but even then, he only legitimately loves Rem, and only loves Emilia in the same sense that Satella loves him. Worse yet,

Spoiler:

.

Also, as a reminder, Satella is supposed to mirror Subaru in totality. Subaru is slowly killing all the bishops and absorbing their authorities, Satella killed all the witches and absorbed their authorities. Satella used to be loved by her contemporaries, even when she was a witch, but for poorly understood reasons, she developed a split-personality. Subaru is loved by his contemporaries (moreso in Arc 5+ post-knighting). Satella had no talent for magic and was very poorly suited to the witch aspect, but she forced herself to take it on for some unknown reason, Subaru has no talent in magic and is very poorly suited to the bishop aspect. Satella loves Subaru, but she's broken to the point where she gleefully murders a town worth of people while professing how much she loves Subaru, and almost winds up fusing/absorbing Subaru. Subaru loves Emilia, but he's gradually breaking down and, even still, doesn't truly love her in the slightest, as previously described. I could go on, probably forever.

There's also certain interesting theories that I find very convincing, like the Satella-is-a-cucked-Rem-from-the-future theory, or the Aldebaran-is-Subaru-from-the-future theory.

Spoiler:
which Kill La Kill already kinda did

Kill la kill is fucking nothing at all like what girls go through during adolescence.
What women do you know that shared experiences of their formative years with you that you could compare to KLK?

"Well blood is really important and it talks about clothes a lot. Yeah that's what being a girl is basically."

If they actually made a FLCL sequel that was genuinely the other side of that coin though, I would definitely watch it. I don't think Trigger (or the industry in general) has enough talented women writers to make that happen. It's not just a matter of getting enough women together, it's about getting enough good ones in the same room on the same project to do it. Just like you can't pile enough random male authors in a room and expect another FLCL.

ANYWHO

Re Zero Episode 16 out. I hope that fucking redheaded cunt dies by the end of the series holy shit. Her only redeeming quality is that she has fucking SOLAIRE OF ASTORA as her knight.
