"M-M-Main-Chan! Don't you have something to do?!" Lmao best line. Also hearing DIO voicing Benno will be interesting. And we finally finished volume 1 content, with also the first several chapters of volume 2 adapted after 6 episodes.

It's a fairly laid back LN .... sort wondering how that would translate into an anime.

I agree, heck it gets worse than that since the anime staff completely missed the entire point of the tournament. In the light novel their was never really any question who the winner would be but so their was no drama their, however it was all part of Mile's plan to make her friends seem more amazing than her which naturally fails. Hopefully the anime can get back on track now.

Finished my episode 13 comparison.

I guess I really should check out what's on Aniplus this season. I'm curious about the new Psycho-Pass though.

Yeah, and considering one of the bigger selling points of HiDive is the availability of streaming uncensored anime I could see issues with Apple policy.

Well, looks like CR is finally being useful and giving fans what they want. They were a big part in the production committee for the first season. What do you know, the show was a smash hit and more seasons get announced. I wonder if Kinema Citrus will still work on it.

@eternal-wanderer oh my god this is a thing and I don’t want it... I NEED IT! You may have just suddenly heard some sorta high pitch whining... Yeah that was my bank account crying over future life choices!

@pleco_breeder Thank you very much I will start practicing my butt off as soon as I have more time to do so and more than likely getting the books you have recommended above. Now I have one question and one question only... Explos... nah if you don’t mind if I ask for your help in future

@rahul-balaggan said in Thoughts on the new Funimation “levels” of premium memberships?: @zing Region Lock sucks, that being said from personal experience you will not have to deal with their frustrating website and apps to actually watch something. Its fine, I still have my CR membership, which I've been using purely for reading manga recently.

On an off chance, I decided to watch O Maidens in Your Savage Season. Mari Okada wrote both the original story and the screenplay. It's an adolescent slice of life that doesn't have everyone behaving like typical LN characters. It's refreshingly different and seems rather "real". I haven't chucked quite so much since I watched Tsuredure Children. I won't claim it's everyone's cup of tea, but I'm enjoying it so far.

@travis-butler No problem man. I really like Eva too. It's just that I often feel it needs better resolution. (That's why I much prefer the manga.) Also, the way the Rebuild movies took a dark turn really left a bad taste. (Although it was probably intended.)

@doceirias I was like, "A shadowy organization to make wut...?!" But then again, if they have stuff like that, this sounds more interesting than I thought. Thanks.

THE DEPLORABLE HERO ARRIVES!

They kept Ray's initial Claude C. Kenny design https://i.imgur.com/cB0mdkB.png

For me, it depends. I will watch, play or read some works with corrupt creators, depending on how strongly I am affected by their dark side. Heck, my cousin probably has no idea about the Nobuhiro Watsuki disaster, so I bought him one of the live-action movies, as I just can't tell him the truth. It would break his heart. If a creator is a bigot to innocent minorities I am part of, my consumption of their work is guaranteed to at least decrease, but not guaranteed to fully stop.

@legitpancake any thoughts as to what this means (might mean) for titles that Hulu licenses from CR/Funimation (or wherever) any thoughts on "Western" companies and anime-esque stuff? Netflix/Dreamworks produced VOLTRON and it did well

@the-green-death I think it is poetic that (I think) Stan Lee's last cameo is in the film that won the Oscar and in in the franchise he created.

Huh, there's no such thing as a Master of Ragnarok anime. It's too early for April Fool's. spoiler

anyone know anything about production company/director? other stuff they did that we might be familiar with? should I get my hopes up of this being any good?
