I will be binging MHA season 3 so ill be waiting till the end of q2 to star watching.

Im curious if i should give steins gate a spin. Came highly reccomended but i never got far into it.

Watched a few more eps of Ruroni Kenshin. SWITCHING TI SUBS WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!! The show became watchable. Also now that the plot is developing a bit more starting to enjoy it more.

Hmm, hard to say on Steins;gate. It's a good show with solid suspense, dialogue, a compelling plot, etc. But it also has a bunch of kinda cringey LN-tropes and harem-y sideplots that feel pretty gratuitous.

Interesting about Rurouni Kenshin, I didn't know the dub was bad for it (not that I've seen it either way).

Kenshin is fine in the Dub, more of an issue that Kaoru is flat and yahiko kinda annoying.

I don't mean that there's not a lot of shows being watch this season, more that there's just not that much to talk about them. A lot of them are kinda ordinary, I guess, not big talking points.

Whereas next season I imagine there will at least be discussion around all of these:

Legend of Galactic Heroes remake -- how does it compare to the beloved cult classic?

Hero Academia S3 -- we probably still won't all agree on this show some more

Steins;gate 0 -- apparently an emo alternate-timeline spin-off of the original, coming many years later. Impressions of this will be interesting.

Captain Tsubasa remake -- not sure if anyone here has seen the original but if so will be interesting to hear their impressions of how it compares

Cutie Honey remake/resequel thing -- same as above

GeGeGe no Kitaro remake/resequel thing -- same as above

Lupin III Part 5 -- Presumably this will be just as good as Part 4, and therefore I get to gush about it in this thread and convince everyone to watch it

Nobunaga's Shinobi S3 -- I get to gush about this show more in this thread, not that I actually expect anyone will watch it

Literally none of those shows mean anything to me.

However, here's a talking point on this week's Violet Evergarden. Hoh, SHIT, that was heavy as hell.

Spoiler

She's contracted to a widower who outlived his daughter as well (she had a terminal illness of some description). It was pretty harrowing to watch, but also uplifting in the sense of said father beginning to overcome his grief and move on.

This week's Grancrest actually managed to feel actively dull which is a worry so far in. Miss Koizumi continues to enjoy ramen, which (based on the title of her anime) we sort of expect to be the case. Pop Team Epic outdid itself this week though. DUEL ONE, LET'S POP. That show is just fucking brilliance in every way.

i think its safe to say i've dropped every seasonal show cept overlord.

life's too short.


edit: Forgot, i've been watching Violet Evergarden's french dub on netflix. I've been enjoying it thus far, also the french dub is not bad (that and fresh voices are nice)

Okay, so I'm about 20 episodes into Galactic Heroes. I knew this was a big, epically-long space opera but I'm surprised how similar of tone/style it is to Three Kingdoms - all about a couple really talented lower officers in multiple factions gradually working their way upward through the mass of incompetent upper bureaucrats/officers. Reinhard is basically Cao Cao.

The battles are weird... like, it only ever seems to take a single shot to destroy a ship. Even the little fighters can take out a giant cruiser in one or two shots. Why do they still even make these giant cruisers then? Seems like having a bajillion tiny fighters would be more efficient than cruisers that need a thousand soldiers to crew and still die in one hit. And who knows how these battles can take hours/days when everything dies in one shot.

That being said it's a really interesting and unique style. Very old-school-feeling, especially when they keep hopping onto shuttles to go see their commander on another ship in person instead of just space-skype'ing him.

Meanwhile I'm cracking on with all of them.

Last week's ...Universe was heavy, HEAVY. There's a part where

Spoiler

We have a flashback to the lost mother saying over radio "it's so pretty" with a very heavy emphasis on these being her last words. I'm thinking the girls are going to find the body at some point. Devast8

This week's APFTTUniverse was heartwarming, though! And finally some Yuzu development! I'm guessing we'll get a Hinata focus next week (something about the shoes/track and field people she was thinking about before), then probably a dreadful cliffhanger the week after and final resolution in the last one.


Also, I picked up Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san - it's kinda like My Neighbor Seki-kun but more of a direct interplay between the two characters and some hints of romance on top. I've only watched two episodes so far, but it's really cute. Perfect for watching an episode in bed right before going to sleep.

Yeah I enjoyed this week's episode. I like how the pacing is as well. Overall it's a strong show for this season.

As someone who has read the translated LN i can answer this. When the anime shows certain scens in a fight it does so in a way that the context that exists in the books doesn't make it into the anime. (the anime is long enuf as it is/is it really an important detail to spend time on) For example in reinhard first confrontation with the alliance there is a scene of certain ships crashing into each other and it cuts to admiral farenehit looking in disugst. In the book there was a very specific explanation for that one shot and what was happening (incomptence at the top but its been a while) as well as in the book it voice aloud the characters thoughts, meanwhile we are left guessing in the anime. Different medium, different things can be communicated. (for example reinhart in the books is even more arrogant/condescending as in the books his full thoughts are voiced)

To your specific issue, shields exist, but often times they get overloaded due to the sheer strain. THey arent going to show a ship taking a whole bunch of shots then blowing up knowing that there are thousands of shots going off every second. Also a question of one the things the ALLIANCE are good at is concentrated artillery fire which overwhelms a single ships defenses. In regards to small fighters, fighter require being at the equivalent of point blank range to do that kind of damage as well as being a lot more fragile and require more specialised training to operated.

it's no different that dive bombers in the pacific part of ww2. One squad of dive or torpedo bombers could take out a battle ship. Just very difficult to do so. It doesn't invalidate the existence or smaller craft. Even if in certain contexts, certain smaller craft their only real purpose is to meatshield the bigger ships. In other contexts they would have uses (reconnaissance or patrol for example)

In regards to how battles last so long. Im not quite sure on that point.

Also, you mention that Reinhart is basically Cao Cao/Tsao Tsao

I find myself disagreeing with this statement for 2 reasons, inter texutual and extra textual

Inter textual: One of Cao Cao's defining characteristics is he is a Machiavellian. He's not above using questionable means to achieve his goal. There's two anecdotes that come to mind

1) During a siege he was a part of, he was running out of supplies. In order to achieve victory, he framed his supply officer as a spy and had him strung up. He then gambled the uptick in morale would win him the battle (which it did)

2) Cao Caos 4th son i believe it was, as a child shower more promise then any of his other sons. Fearing for his position Cao Pi had him assasinated. Cao Cao knew this but didn't do anything because he coldly calculated that because of this Cao Pi was the next best leader for the Wei dynasty.

Reinhart would not have tolerated either act because one of his greatest flaws is his pre-occupation with honor (similar to yang wengli his biggest flaw is his adherence to his belief in democracy). There will be times in the show where this pre-occupation with honor is to his detriment even though the machievellian approach is better but he is against it. Part of his arrogance over the noble is he doesnt act like one. He fights with his soldiers for example as he believe this elavate him above the cowardly nobles. as the show evolve you will see this more and more.

Extra textual: The author himself (who it should be noted also wrote the legend of arslan) said his primary inspiration are european wars. Now im no expert in european history 14th-19th century (napoleon aside) so im sure theres tons of parralels that im un aware of, but given

The imperial palace is called neue san souci (the new version of san souci the prussian equivalent to versailles)
Heavy emphasis on norse mythology characteristic of Wagner and perhaps other aspects of german culture

I think its more likely Reinhart inspiration to be a mix of frederik the great/napoleaon/otto von bismark


im sure there are parralels to be drawn between LotGH and romance of the three kingdoms, i just don't buy this one.

I think it's just the time factor that really makes it weird. If ships can fire every few seconds, and they can concentrate fire to overwhelm shields, then the obvious strategy is to divide ships into groups of however many it takes to overwhelm a shield and each group concentrate their fire onto one target at a time, destroying one enemy ship per group with each shot. Even if the entire fleet was shooting and destroying one enemy ship at a time, at their rate of fire destroying a few thousand enemy ships would only take a handful of hours tops... but instead these battles last a dozen hours if not days with only minor losses sustained.

Maybe they could show the shields actually being effective sometimes. There's a lot of times we see the fleet in formation and the enemy shoots them and you just see a ton of shots stream past while the one that does hit kills a ship. Instead of so many streaming past they could show a lot of them actually being blocked by shields or something.

Oh well, it's really not a big deal. This show clearly isn't about the actual strategies/tactics of the battles, and that's totally fine.

Hmmm, I dunno. Oberstein just tricked/manipulated Reinhard into letting a planet get nuked so that the publicity would benefit Reinhard, and while Reinhard is upset he hasn't really punished Oberstein for it. That doesn't sound much different from your example #2 of Cao Cao.

But yeah I'm not suggesting there's any actual authorial influence from Rot3K, just that I see some parallels of style. The influences are clearly more germanic/scandinavian.

Which is very likely what does happen, they won't have every single ship focus one ship but at this rate i feel as if its a bit of an irrelevant detail. Narratively it doesn't add anything really. Narratively the show focuses on the death, destruction and chaos in a fight. Showing shield for a vbrief instance seems like wasted effort.

There's a giant difference between #2 and this. Cao Cao cold blodedly let his own child be killed and didnt do anything. The quote stalin the death of millions is a statistics, the death of a man is a tragedy. And in pretty much every adaption of RoTK ive seen cao cao never expressed regret or was shown to be uneasy with any of the hard choices he made. Thats a pretty significant difference. (pretty sure the only thing he agonised over was not being able to win over guan yu) Overall if the parallels have any merit, the level at which it is at is superficial to the point it doesn't actually accomplish anything.

Exactly, though. They focus on death, destruction and chaos, so we get 5 straight minutes of ships exploding, people dying, etc... and then cut to the war room 12 hours later with the battle still going on and apparently all formations still intact. The two depictions don't match.

Cao Cao absolutely expresses regret. There's several times he laments that his decisions lead to large losses of life and/or the deaths of certain of his followers, like after the Wuhuan campaign or after Zhang Xiu ambushes him.

Also, I think you're misremembering the situation with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. In the novel, Cao Cao is already dead when Cao Pi contemplates killing Cao Zhi, and ultimately he does not do so. Furthermore, Cao Cao's decision to select Cao Pi as his heir (after Cao Ang had died in battle), is before any specific conflict between Pi and Zhi, and his choice is due to Jia Xu pointing out how picking a favoured non-1st son went soooo well for Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

Also worth noting - Reinhard has recently espoused to Mariendorf that power should never be inherited, only seized. So looks like he's going to be an outright usurper, whereas Cao Cao decidedly refused to supplant the Han Emperor. I wonder if Reinhard will keep his belief or change his mind once he's in charge and able to have an inheritor of his own.

Ok, so I'm a lot further into Jouzu no Takagi-san now. It's really... stagnant. Doesn't have the creativity of My Neighbour Seki-kun or other more inventive slice-of-life, so while it's still cute as a bunny it's very samey. I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something really just cute and comfy, but expect to just watch an episode here and there, not binge it.


Antarctica still the bees knees. That "piss off" moment was so good. mmmmm


Second-last Dragon Ball Super episode just aired, and I was really impressed with the fighting. There's been sooo many episodes of just repeated effect frames scooting across the background, the blandest of fighting depictions, but this episode was the complete opposite with almost zero repetition whatsoever and a lot of great choreography. It was actually pretty engaging for the whole episode. Only 1 more episode to go, not a lot of time to wrap the whole series up!

Agreed.

This was an episode full of quality animation. Its impressive how much they managed to actually show while engaged in combat at hyper speeds.

I will admit that last "plot twist" annoyed me. It was foreshadowed several times throughout the tournament but i still wasn't impressed.

Despite that it was a REALLY good fight. Cant think of a dbz battle that came close in comparison.
