Bottom post of the previous page:

Index is garbage compared to Raildex. The setting and background for Raildex makes a lot more sense and flows more smoothly (it's the X-men filtered through the Japanese bullshit filter of little girls and high school) whereas Index is a huge clusterfuck (X-men plus magical powers and amnesia and super gary stu power and harems and lolis and high school).

Accelerator teeters on being a total edgelord and actually being kinda cool. It's neat. The whole concept that

Holy shit that scene at the end, with Subaru's ringtone just going off and everyone's looking around for the White Whale and it just eclipses the moon. fucking beautiful.

I really like the OP for Berzerk and listen to it every episode.

[EndgamerAzari]

Started watching My Hero Academia and I'm hooked. I love these sorts of non-traditional takes on Western-style superheroes.

you're spoilering that, really? this *IS* Dangan Ronpa you know.

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.

started watching it too and this kind of hits the nail on the head
I like it but it still strikes me as really just kind of mediocre and generic when it isn't doing the mind_break time travel stuff

[Timbrewolf]

It just keeps doing it.

Within the same scene he'll start out GENKI SHONEN LAD, then suddenly he's raving and leaking snot boogers out of his eyeballs and going mad, and then someone gushes about how much they want his dick or whatever for a minute or two and he's back to NONSTOP ENERGY I CANT LOSE I FIGHT FOR MY FRIENDS

I'm starting to hate him almost as much as the fucking dude from Aldnoah Zero. He's up there in terms of "Why the fuck does anyone like this guy or put up with him?"

[captain sawrge]

I was really into it for the few episodes he was in Crusch's mansion and everything seems fucked and then Rem just tells him she loves him, he somehow turns her down after all the shit that happened in the last four episodes and then everything is k because they spent a full episode talking about how stupid and pathetic he is.

Every time loop it just ends up with him making the same retarded mistakes over and over until he gets really depressed or goes crazy then he just remembers "ah fuck being crazy isn't helping I'll just go back to being a shonen protag" and suddenly he just does everything right. How come Crusch doesn't know he's lying about the phone? Why would she agree to his offer for the mining rights when he's just a servant that couldn't possibly have the authority to make such a proposal?
Waiting for next episode when the white whale hopelessly slaughters all the mercenaries and they all just sit there going "whoa how could this have possibly happened"

[Timbrewolf]

It's like he keeps forgetting that nothing counts and he can just keep committing suicide until he gets it right.

I keep thinking about Groundhog's Day where Bill Murray realizes he can't die and so he starts goofing off finding weird ways to commit suicide and do stupid shit because fuck it none of this has any consequences.

Meanwhile In Re: Zero our dude somehow keeps forgetting that everything is going to be a-okay I can just keep dying and accumulating knowledge about the situation until I get everything just right, then progress another day ahead. Like he even realizes this at once point, throws himself off a fucking cliff so he can get another do-over, but then later apparently forgets it and gets all crybaby boo hoo again.

He also probably has completely forgotten that

Spoiler:

Emelia introduced herself as the witch the first time they ever met

And no matter how much farting around he does or time he has to LITERALLY KILL he

Spoiler:

Hasn't done anything to try to find out how he got where he is or why he can't die

[Remie Richards]

Spoiler:

Hasn't done anything to try to find out how he got where he is or why he can't die

Bit hard to do that last bit when he literally can't talk about it.

Spoiler:

The ability's name is "Returns by death", and he's said similar words to that before and it just gets either his or Emilia's heart literally crushed.

also real real spoilers here

Spoiler:

it's probably to do with the fact he's probably the authority of pride, they keep mentioning pride around him (although Beetlegeuse calls him sinful because that's all Beetlegeuse gives a fug about), there was the ground dragon in the latest episode too, known for being very prideful. Not 100% sure why being the Authority of pride (probably) lets you save-scum life tho. (I don't know the LNs though so please don't tryhard me)

[Incomptinence]

Yeah seems his personality keeps resetting, even if it was fake to begin with.

Re: Zero personality.


Edit: On a more cheerful note mob psycho 100 is picking up pace starting to get into the meat and potatoes of what makes the manga good now.

[Timbrewolf]

Bit hard to do that last bit when he literally can't talk about it.

He can talk about it indirectly, but he also learned how to read the language so if he just stopped fucking around for a minute to LEARN THE LORE he may be able to connect some of the dots. IIRC he hasn't tried explaining to anyone that he's from a completely different world either.

Spoiler:

Yeah all evidence seems to point so far towards him actually being brought her to function as some kind of villain or to aid the witch in something. His magic domain and "tainted" smell. What doesn't make sense is that that cult attacked Crusch's mansion when they're supposed to be witch worshippers? Must be more to it than Emelia simply being the witch. She died when he explained his power to her, either because anyone he tries to explain it to gets killed or perhaps because SHE dies whenever he tries to explain it to someone.

Spoiler:

I'm convinced Emilia is 100% a red herring when it comes to the witch, I think she's unfortunate enough to just share so many physical traits with her (half-elf, silver hair, female, etc.) though I have 0 clue why she introduced herself as Satella besides maybe a "I'm the witch ~wooo~ leave me alone" sort of deal.

As for telling people he's from another world, that could technically work, very early on he lied and said he was from another country but really it's the whole "Time-travel death immunity" thing he'd -really- wan't to get to the bottom of.

[Remie Richards]

91 days is still great, never really been one for Mafia/Gangster stories but I'm really into this.

Spoiler:

Called the entire plan of today's episode though, the chicken being used as a blood bag to trick Orco into thinking Avillio really killed Nero, because Avillio is Lagusa's son when, oh wait, he totally is and the bit where Fango serves Don Orco *AS* the Lasagna was obvious but brilliant too.

That Aldnoa Zero or w/e anime was fucking garbage.

Talk to me about Rom Coms and slice of life like Sliver Spook or My bride is a mermaid or Heaven's lost property.

daammmn 91 days is fucking siiick, I'm really enjoying it

Spoiler:

when fango brought out that lasagna I was like "NO FUCKIN WAY THEY MADE ORCO INTO LASAGNA!!" and then they were all like "this is the best fuckin lasagna. lmao funniest part, fango prob my fav char. also fuck at first I was starting to think he's just keeping him alive to find out the fourth but now I wonder if he actually likes him at all and wants to kill fourth for trying to use him? prob not but I don't want nero to die. I get when he killed the first guy he was still thinking fourth was actually his friend and was blinded by his rage but I think now he's maybe starting to open his mind a bit?

[D&B]

This episode of JJBA was dissapointing to say the least.

The sandwich chase scene was good I suppose, but holy shit did they make Killer Queen look like shit.

Finished my binge of Parasyte the maxim.
That was wonderful.

It's not normal for someone to talk to his hand, anyway.

Cried at the end, cos how could you not.

Duwang was satisfactory for me.

i finally found a place where i can watch Gintama from the start

it's pretty great

ep 21 of re:0

Spoiler:

ehhhhhh it was okay I guess

[Ricotez]

So if I understand the setting of Gintama, it's basically "what if aliens showed up in the Edo era and brought their technology to Japan"? If that's the case everyone sure adapted fast to TVs and cars.

[firecage]

So, after the current anime I am busy watching, does anyone have any recommendations for what to watch next? I am thinking about finishing K-On!! perhaps, but no idea what else.

So yah, check my MAL and give me advice. http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Firecage

Spoiler:

I wonder who/what/if at all as to what that little red spirit was or if it will come back later, like a different puck or so

Re: Zero

So the Light Novel apparently had a "What If."
Like what if Rem said yes to running away with Subaru in episode 18.

Apparently someone on Reddit translated it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Re_Zero/commen ... f_rem_and/

each delay gives us more time for stupid theories :^)

everything is mitarai's anime and chisa is the mastermind who told mitarai to create the anime, all with the intention of causing the tragedy in real life. obviously.

dangit granpa spoilers

Spoiler:

SDR2 did the game-in-a-game thing, and in DRAE Komaeda lampshades that it is rather strange your enemies give you upgrades and the monokumas drop beneficial items (and you later find out why)

it is entirely possible that Kodaka is pulling an anime-in-an-anime for this

[Slignerd]

Spoiler:

Well, there's playing with the medium in the meta sense, and then there's going too far with it. Nagito's "game" had a rather reasonable reflection on reality, and while DR2 takes place in a virtual world, there's a lot of foreshadowing to that - and despite being inside a virtual world, the events do actually take place and affect the characters - which also reflects on reality.

Meanwhile, going "haha, just a prank, none of it happened, all of it is just anime made by that one anime dude" would have no point to it. From a storytelling perspective, there's nothing to gain from voiding everything that happened. So that's kind of unlike the examples of DR2 or DR:AE. Having some meta elements doesn't immediately mean any and all meta you could ever come up with is something that could actually happen.

[Remie Richards]

dangit granpa

I hate you because of just how funny I find that.
wow.

Re:Zero 23:

Spoiler:

Glad Ram's little "attack" was just that, little, and a misunderstanding at that, I don't think it would have been good to drag her out as a mini antagonist, she's more suited to being mean to Subaru WHILE also still being on his side. B/Petelgeuse is B/Petelgeuse, always entertaining even when we end up seeing 3-4 of him in an episode, the whole Mabeast lunch death was a really neat concept.
Subaru becoming a finger was obvious, B/Petelgeuse always went on and on about how slothful Subaru is.
