Another 2chan anime rumor turned out to be true. I hope Heavy Object is next.

[Gulkeeva]

hmmm MAOYUU MAOU YUUSHA TV eh, the manga wasn't too bad, although the 5 page explanations of stuff at times was like... ( ﾟДﾟ)

[Zilong]

i enjoyed the manga, deconstructing DQ and just classic JRPG in general, while also throwing in some elements reminiscent to S&W

[Xeynaar]

There are like what, 4 manga versions? I read 3 and I know there's at least another 4koma version. They'll base it on the LN anyway lol.

Tari Tari Ep 1

This is pretty unique and refreshing, but I'm not sold on it yet. The characters and setting seem kinda promising, especially if anyone enjoyed Hanasaku Iroha(P.A. Works Pervious Slice of Life Show).

What really stands out about this is the extremely lively, expressive and creative animation. The entire production is just oozing with creative charm. It's obvious that a lot of talented people had a lot of fun creating the show.





La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia Ep1

Meh I tried, I just don't find reverse-harem appealing, especially when the guys look way hotter than the girl.

Overall it's Flat, but entertaining. if you love this type of genre.




Muv Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Ep 1

Disappointing in terms of direction; I expected more from a Muv Luv Alternative primer episode. the BETA invasion should have been at the start and not this crappy slice of life Bullshit that took the majory of the episode.... I feel like I lost IQ points watching those school scenes.

I am really struggling to find something nice to say about the whole affair but there are so many problems with the piece that finding something salvageable is a difficult chore. Considering that this is Studio Satelight you'd imagine that I might have want to praise the animation, if nothing else, but in this case it really doesn't deserve it. I hope Episode Two will fair better than the primer.


The only thing these girls will be remmbered for.

Spoiler: show

Guess who's surviving the BETA invasion next episode.

[Zilong]

nobody will survive beta invasion. Alternative's rule was that if you're an unnamed character, you'll die horribly, and if you are a named character, you'll die horribly with gruesome details describing it.

[Insanecyclone]

I see muv luv around before but what is it? All I see is mecha and tits and I like both. Where do I start w/ this series?

[Zilong]

It's a series of H-game from Age

The games are Extra > Unlimited > Alternative > Altered Fable. Extra is basically standard harem high school romance. Unlimited takes you to the alternate reality where Unlimited and Alternative takes places in, where it's less of a school romance faggotry and more of the second half of Gurren Lagann, minus human having Spiral Power. Alternative is basically the main character waking up in the first day of Unlimited, with memories of the Unlimited events and him trying to lead the future into the most favorable outcome. Altered Fable is just an omake fandisk that is derived from Alternative's ending. All translated aside from Altered Fables

Mecha would not come into play until Unlimited, and I'm not a big fan of the plot for Extra since it's 99% generic harem animu shit, but both Unlimited and Alternative refers to some events that happens in there, and it does provide the background for the characters. Story becomes more interesting in Unlimited, and Alternative is still one of my favorite game.

Total Eclipse is just some side story on the happening during the Alternative Storyline, but it's kinda far enough removed from the series that I don't think you'd need much of the details from the game. The game would give you idea of the lore and technologies for the world they are in, but nothing more beyond it I'd imagine.

人類は衰退しました (Jinrui wa suitai shimashita): watch this one. It is a satirical post apocalypse humor with a drug induced, yet vulgar, story line. Many "wtf" gifs are to be had from this anime.

Any translations floating around for any of this?

Can probably find torrents for the entire thing prepatched, especially now that Total Eclipse animu is out

[Gulkeeva]

Movluv.. the hentai game.. or muvluv the manga, start whichever! (the hentai game has much plot... for all sizes)

Also reverse harem isn't bad.. if you imagine it as...

[Zilong]

the manga for extra is so fucking horribly drawn

while we're on the subject of muvluv, anyone of you have the beta vs BETA comparison pic laying around somewhere? I remembered seeing it floating around in 4chan before but I can't seem to find it

Muv-Luv Alternative - Total SUFFERING 01

They better not fuck this one up.

[Zilong]

Bitches better be dying like flies by the 3rd ep for me to keep up with this series...really wasn't thrilled with the first half of the episode just on the virtue of what kind of horrible people would be able to live their daily life like a bunch of schoolgirls when it's been 20 fucking years since BETA arrived on earth?

Moyashimon Returns Ep1

Truly, this show is a work of art. A show that should be used as an example for future anime-makers. especially if your aiming for a comedy adaptation while educating the viewer. The show has excellent timing, particularly in its use of silence. It's an essential ingredient to any comedy, especially if you're centering on awkward moments between characters, so it's good that Moyashimon still nailes it.

Everybody should watch this!

Love, Election and Chocolate Ep1

So yeah, the whole episode was just a harem check list.

Natsuyuki Rendezvous Ep1

The episode does a number of things right. It establishes its setting quickly, The characters are also likeable, and distinctive without falling completely into rote personality traits. While it wasn't an episode I would consider HOLY SHIT AMAZING, as the show just seems to lack punch. Scenes don't carry much tone and the characters fail to create a presence on screen, still the show is filled with heart and worthy of the noitaminA slot.

I Don't Want To Marry My Sister Ep1

I seriuosly don't know which was worse the plot or the animation. Watching this show is like getting shit shoved down your throat. I wish I never bothered.

PS I'm aware that's not the series name.



^
Hurray for lackluster animation.

Joshiraku EP1

It's good . A few hilarious moments but also running into the age-old problem of taking a gag and sprinting it into the ground. Which isn't always a bad thing, mind you, but for something this laid back you need to aim for variety. at least the comedy flowed nicely.

Love the ending theme.
