General Anime Discussion (what are you watching now?)

If some of y’all aren’t aware, Netflix is simulcasting Violet Evergarden in many countries, including the UK and Canada with an English dub. The first episode is up right now.
What I don’t understand is that they are deliberately leaving out many other countries, such as the US and Australia. It is so ridiculous that I, as a Netflix subscriber, must pirate this show in order to watch it weekly, as the rest of us won’t get it until the season is over in the spring.
If you’re wondering if you’re one of those lucky countries, you should be able to find VEG. If you’re not so lucky, such as me, the only result when searching is a “similar titles” thing. F*** Netflix.

Haven't watched VEG yet but certainly planning too, KyoAni always makes gorgeous works. Other one I was excited for was Death March since I LOVE the WN and the LN of that one: SoL style with interspersed action, with a mature MC whose not dense for the heck of it, as long as you remember Death March is a cooking novel, you are fine. But CR's subtitles totally murder half of the fun by not translating the "logs" which have so many tidbits of info... I've just spent the last 24 hours of my life trying to learn how to use Aegisub to add in all that stuff. IT'S THAT IMPORTANT TO ME. I saw so many people complaining they didn't understand what was going on, well, duh, it's because HALF OF IT wasn't translated. Goddammit CR, you greedy lazy bastards.
Then there's of course de Overlord sequel, I'm hyped AF, first ep was pretty much character introduction but it was fine, OP was nice.
And then there's Card Captor Sakura... it's been part of my life since I was a child so of course I'm watching it. Best magical girl series ever, FITE ME.

@paulnamida Aegisub isn't too complicated to use, you can figure it out with trial and error pretty quickly since you can load your subs without muxing a new file as long as your player allows you to load external sub files. For example, CCCP's package by default will load any external sub with MPC provided the .ASS file has the same name as the video file.
-
@paulnamida I usually am very satisfied with CR subs, as they often even color them with the same as the font/background. However, I was especially disappointed with their job on Death March. I’m sure I missed tons of stuff because they are so lazy.
-
Watching Umaru-chan. I have two questions:
-
Will this go brocon?
-
Do people watch this for Umaru, or the side characters?
I find Umaru a bit annoying. =P

-
Oi, anyone read the Death March LNs? It's one of the series this season I don't mind too much & figure the original would be better, yeah?
-
Everyone should check out Yuru camp! Really relaxing.
-
@smashman42 yeah the LN is significantly better, the anime has been very very rushed for all 4 episodes so far, I mean the actual date scene turned into demon fight scene literally zoomed by on the screen.
They also skipped over some pretty big foreshadowing developments from V1, and all those montage scenes like Satou going out to buy sundries after he reaches the inn and eats the keish, and the date montage all has a lot more details that don’t deserve to be skipped via montage.
-
@smashman42 it is, the anime rushes way too much stuff. I really like the LN so I'm disappointed with the treatment it's getting. The foreshadowing is one of the strong points in this series.

I enjoy the Death March novels personally, but I know a lot of people hate them because they're more slice-of-life which is not generally what people look for in isekai. The anime is quite bad in comparison, it just leaves out so many details that make the series so interesting.
-
just binged Gunslinger Girls 1st season over the weeked (Netflix), pleasantly surprised. Covered some relatively mature themes (agency, limit of power of the state, corruption, what is love?)
and had some characters that I found charming. -
I picked up Love and Lies in between my watching of Himouto Umaru-chan. Up to episode 3.
I feel like this triangle is going to be heartbreaking no matter what. Personally, I want him to break the system... Though if the match between him and the twin tails gal (Yukari) was by accident, he could still break the system by falling for her...
-
@terrence That’s a fun one
-
Watching Deathmarch, Overlord, and Grimgar...wait this is the opposite of a surprise isn't it.
-
@paulnamida I've actually really enjoyed that the pace is quick.
-
I just burned threw the entire series of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress on Sunday, and was showing the first few episodes to some friends tonight.
normally i hate shows like this, since i can't even watch attack on titan, but
this was just to amazing even if it is a zombie anime.recently,
Black Clover
A Place Farther than the Universe
Overlord
Maerchen Maedchen
Death March - not to impressed, not sure if i want to go to the novels or just skip this. -
I just started following CR again on Twitter because they have a contest for "Garden of Sinners" figures... Lots of spoilers all over the place as promotion.
I think I'm watching Inari Kon Kon this weekend in between my gaming.
Edit: I'm really liking this one so far. Certainly Shoujo feeling, but the protagonist is fun (though, she could probably do better for herself love interest wise). =]
I'm watching Inari Kon Kon's festival episode.
-
I watched Darling in the Franxx tonight. Visually, I thought I was watching Grimgar. With the long pink hair, Zero Two does resemble Yuno Gasai a little. Not quite as yandere though.

I'm up to the 2nd part of the beach vacation trip in Inari Kon Kon...
This Ship is sailing on one side. Let's hope the other side doesn't sink it! xP
If you like anime with shipping, this seems to be a very good one. Plus, it's got the fun transformation magical girl thing to spice up the small town + shrine setting.
Edit: Done. Ahhh, that ending sucked. I think it was anime original. Apparently the manga continued to 2015, while the anime and OVA were 2014. I might have to figure out which volumes continue the story past the anime and get those on Bookwalker (they aren't available in English). T.T

@paul-nebeling hands down my favorite anime of the season, trigger always make some nice originals. I also like Kokoku and it has my personal favorite OP of the season. It’s so catchy. Reason why Devil Man Crybaby isn’t mentioned for me cuz it’s in a weird postion since it all came out at once but it was phenomenal good.
