The State of Anime Today - Page 11

You guys got your eyes on anything particular for next season? I'm pretty psyched for the second season of Food Wars (even if it is super lame that it's just 13 episodes), I'll be checking out the Tales of Zestiria anime, Berserk 'cause a friend of mine loves it, and following the second half of Re:Zero.

Also, supposedly Persona 5 will have an OVA come out at some point, and Under the Dog is finally scheduled to come out.

I am contractually obligated to look forward to and enjoy Love Live Sunshine, so there's that. And Amanchu is getting an anime, so I'll watch that because Aria is great (even if I haven't finished it after, like, three years).

The audio dramas indicate they've got the same slice-of-life chemistry the original girls had, but the main character is kind of an ass and a looooot of the stuff is just a copy-paste. I also don't think they're established enough to be able to get away with the drama-drama stuff- I hope it's a more mellow affair this time. I'm interested, and I want it to do well, but I'm cautious.

Worldwide simultaneous streaming though! That's pretty rad!

EDIT: baw reading this post back it feels so much more negative than I intended

Oh, also Mob Psycho 100 because it's by the same author as One Punch Man, so I'll at least check out the first few episodes.

I lost my shit when I heard that they're making a new Berserk anime, 'cause it's picking up where the original anime/the movies left off. Like, my body is not ready.

If you haven't already you should watch the Berserk movies or the original anime to catch up. (Note that the first ep of the original anime is kinda dumb but it gets better.) Also note that the end of the third movie is basically torture porn and it could be awkward to watch with other people XD

Also, everyone should watch Lovely Muco. It's amazing. (Also tonally about as far away from Berserk as you could possibly be.) It's good to watch when you need something light-hearted.

Edit: WAIT WHAT Berserk is tomorrow on crunchyroll OMFG

I was left without Internet last night so I resorted to watch some movies that were on my backlog:

• Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled From Paradise wasn't anything special but mad pretty, kinda like one of those anime games in the PS4

• Colorful was pretty emotional, and I greatly enjoy stories about afterlife and second chances

The CG in the Aquarium video was a big step ahead of any in the franchise before, so at very least we should get some pretty dancing. As far as sameness, there's enough going on with the girls that's different, and even the similar characters aren't that similar. Mari seems like a very different gaijin character than Eli, even if they're both tall, blonde, hafus. Mari's way more outwardly goofy, whereas Eli's dorky enthusiasm is more of her hidden side.
