Spring Anime 2016 |OT2| Justice is Over!

They'd need more than another 13 episodes if they wanted to continue from where this upcoming season will end.
Cause the next arc after where this one will end is like a half-season or less worth of material, and the one after that is still on-going.
sorry, was talking about that long-ass LN title. It looks like it was put through google translate then bing then given to a japanese middle school student
ohh ok
That makes Quasar sad.
uh... there are two finished arcs after the tournament
the arc where he goes and works for french guy
then the festival arc.
then the festival arc.
though I suppose adapting the 44 or remaining tournament arc chapters to 13 eps is about right pacing wise as they were really drawn out in the manga and can be condensed to fit better via anime. but those chapters plus the other chapters from the other two finished arcs would have made a fine 24-26 episode season.
I wonder why it's only getting 13 more eps :/
perhaps it's a split cour or something as if I recall right the trailer showed off a bit of the arc after the tournament arc.
I also think that it will be split cour. Putting both arcs in one season would fuck the pacing up.
just double checked PV2 doesn't show anything but PV1 from 54-60 seconds clearly shows the arc after the tournament.
though I suppose that could also be the very last scene from this season as a tease to go read the manga :/
I know. I'm assuming this season will cover the end of the Autumn Elections and the
Stagiaire arc.
Yet again it's been a long time since I read the Autumn Election chapters that i'm probably forgetting how long that really was... My brain just kinda skipped towards the conclusion. Though the ending chapters of that arc were a little drawn out, imo.

festival
Edit: Saw your other posts. Yeah, it's up in the air now. I could see it going both ways.
there is no way this season covers that much unless this is the last soma anime we are ever going to see.
even just finishing the election arc will have this season burning through the manga faster than last season, since the chapters were a bit drawn out it's doable, but some things will likely get cut doing so anyways (like megumi playing table tennis from last season
). doing the arc after that would likely result in horrible pacing.I mean if it is a split cour the season could easily end in the middle of the election arc as there are plenty of stopping points you can end on if you have a split cour.
Really though I would have expected the rest of the arc to take 17-20 eps in general allowing them to do the arc after to finish off to 22-24 episodes.
given how they did the first season the whole thing just feels weird. they clearly adapted it to start with to pace well with the manga with breaks. Just like My hero academia did. it would be silly to come back with a second season and greatly increase the adaption rate.
Stagiaire Arc - 12 chapters
Moon Banquet Festival Arc -18 chapters.
current arc 37 chapters with at least another 20 to go if not more. though to be fair around where it currently is would be a fine stopping point for a season.

Probably sold a lot of goods too since there's like a dozen Rikka figures.

I guess it could go either way. Either this is the last season of anime they're going to do to get people to buy the manga, or there are plans in place to make it either a split-cour or to adapt the future volumes. I could see that shortest arc up there being only 3 episodes long given the content.
It'd be a lot nicer if they fleshed it out a little bit and let it all breathe though, for sure. I just have my expectations set low so I can be surprised if everything goes better than I expect it to!
they adapted 60 chapters to 24 episodes in the first season.
that is exactly 2.5 chapters per episode on average.
thus the arcs should be
election -17 to 18 episodes
Stagiaire Arc - 4 to 5 episodes
Moon Banquet Festival Arc - 7-8 episodes
current arc to a good stopping point 14-15 episodes.
If we assume a split cour of two 13 episodes we could see things sped up just a little to fit
election - 16
stagiarire - 4
festival - 6
and then the current arc could be adapted into a 13 episode cour stopping near where it is now, and then we will have to see where the next season would fit.

it's just in general the election in 13 doesn't make to much sense given the first season. but perhaps we will be shifting to a on a season off a season type deal and still get around 26 episodes a year.
no matter what though, I am sad this july season is only going to be 13 episodes.

Joker Game: 5
And the show just continues its streak of being just underwhelming. Like literally nothing matters. Except for the first two episodes, each episode so far is just a vignette that says nothing about the whole spy thing except people do spy stuff. Seriously, does it get any better?
This episode is also funny because there is this guy who looks like an alien.

I really hope Soma doesn't feel super rushed. It's going to adapt the best material from the manga. Hopefully it's split cour or something.
Where is this? Haven't seen him in any of the promotional material.

Not really. There are a few episodes with Yuuki that are slightly better, but it pretty much stays the same from now on.

Yeh I really appreciated the pace of the first season. Hope they don't rush through the actual cooking in favor of the fairly average shounen aspects.
Wait really? Maybe a 2nd cour is in the cards after all.
I guess I am dropping this.

Re:Zero, Kabaneri, and Flying Witch are doing worse than I thought.
Re:Zero's doing good, but I figured it and Konosuba would be swapped. Kananeri's still good too, but I guessed the initial volume at maybe 10k.
Thought Flying Witch would get that Aria crowd, but it looks like Aria got the Aria crowd.
Tanaka and Shonen Maid doing horribly, but I figured that'd be the case. Worse than Super Lovers is a travesty though.

Lots of event tickets as well, so expect lower sales for future volumes of almost everything that sold decently.

Suitably listless.
Wonderful direction and gorgeous art but in line with its themes very much a slow Saturday afternoon lying on the couch listening to the crickets kind of anime (though somehow different to Flying Witch or Non Non Biyori). I liked it well enough.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ep.40
OK, so there was some nice reveals in this one, but now I'm a little confused. If Edward and Al's
I guess there are some additional big things coming that will explain this more, but wow... I also wasn't expecting the meeting between him and Master, as well as his confession of that right on the spot.
Also, that conversation between Armstrong and Mustang was hilarious, I guess his wallet and nuts are tiny, lol. Good stuff that shows the gruff nature of the characters from their time in Ishbal

dad was he made into a homocculi before they were born, then how? He's a living philosopher stone? WTF!!

In some ways, the shows quite clever, and this episode was the author making his intent clear about the underlying themes in the show.
On the other hand, it does the very dangerous thing of making the main character an unlikable asshole.
Not just a slow, overly loud and energetic bumbling goof, but just flat out moronic and weak and simpering. Gonna be hard to win us back. Is the show going to win us back? I fucking hope Emilia isn't supposed to be a symbolic surrogate for the audience - where once Subaru develops into who he wants to be, it's all forgiven and good and shit, because that would make me send razorblades to japan or something.
i know they're like REALLY similar in spelling but i'd appreciate it if you gave me the benefit of the doubt
i didn't even WATCH myriad colors phantom world
i have SOME self-respect, after all

Anime gaf, is Fairy Tail any good?
Want to watch a new shounen but can't really choose. Gintama would be the natural choice but its just so damn big.

Seisen Cerberus END:
I still contend that this would have been one of the better shows this season if it had any kind of budget to worth with for character designs and animation. The ending was your typical hero fanfare with ass-pull happenings, but it was pretty well done even with the power of love
Well, Narag will be happy since his now adult looking mofu with a "smoking body" can now take on the world herself with her harem of soldiers in tow, lol.

conquering all.
if you choose fairy tail over basically any other long-running shounen series (except bleach??), you will live regret it
if you choose fairy tail over gintama you won't live long, but you'll definitely still regret it

Well, I wouldn't recommend Fairy Tail.
If you just can't stand the idea of starting Gintama, I would recommend the shorter options of Code:Breaker (13 episodes), Garo the Animation (24 episodes), or Majin Bone (52 episodes). While the latter two are not adaptations of shounen manga, they should still be appealing to people who like shounen action.

That bad? Feck.
I suppose there's loads of filler that I would skip eheh. But I actually had the wrong idea that Gintama had much more eps than Fairy Tail.
Aren't Fairy Tail several hundred episodes as well?

I'm up to ep, 49 of Fairy Tail, but have been on hiatus for about 2 months now. I'm about to go back soon, but there are about 275 episodes to go through between Fairy Tail and Fairy Tail 2014.
I liked what I watched so far, but I can see where it can get repetitive, and yeah, Power of Friendship, blah, blah, blah...
It's harmless, but entertaining at the same time. However, complaints about it are valid; I'm just more forgiving at those shortcomings...

Code:Breaker seems decent. Will jump on that. Next week will think about something else to watch. Thanks.

Fairy Tail is really good. Im hoping it comes back with a third anime to cover even more of the manga. Definitely look into it.

As someone who genuinely likes Fairy Tail, if you've watched shounens before, I don't recommend Fairy Tail.
Fairy Tail has 1 mini filler season (6 episodes long) and 2 normal filler season (around 24 episodes each).
If you skip them, there are still over 200 episodes left and the series isn't finished, just on a break.

Active Raid was ok if you liked hot girls and bishounen dudes who are supposed to be serious people acting silly in robo suits.

I tried a few of the episodes dubbed and my mind was warped in mindfu(k trying to readjust what character was saying what, so I switched back....
Didn't sound bad though, jut I was in too deep to switch at that point.
It's reporting day dammit... Only a few thousand records to go through.. Ugghh

Isn't that why were all here?
Not exactly a highlight of the season with huge mainstream or critical appeal, but I also enjoyed watching it at the time.
Looking forward to more episodic silliness and perhaps another couple of surprisingly good episodes somewhere in the middle.
