Kaguya-sama

The OP for this is amazing.

The show's been pretty great so far. I'm really liking the choice of voices for the characters. Chika's voice sounds EXACTLY how I imagined it would too!

Winter 2019

What are you looking forward to, Samachan?
For me this looks really, really dull as a season. Probably only going to watch Girly Air Force and Bermuda Triangle so's I can laugh at unintentional chair force humor and see cute mermaid girls doing cute mermaid things.
Really just want Spring to come already so I can get Majimojo Rurumo S2 and Hitori Bocchi.

Boogiepop wa Warawanai

These first 2 episodes were confusing as fuck with the non chronological storytelling. I also have a hard time remembering who evry1 is! I'm sure it will all make sense in time, but I'm gonna need 2 re watch these 2 episodes again so I can understand it better.

Japanese Videogames

So, as the last thread reached the bump limit, I think its a good Idea to start a new thread. What have you guys been playing recently?

R: 8 / I: 6

Egao no Daika

This shows a lot of promise. Plenty of time devoted to the royally cute idol-queen JC and her throbbing heart, and the hot-blooded MC is instead a discreet childhood friend/sworn protector type of character. Also robots, bullshit super-clever strategies, cute warships, a super cutie pilot yet to be revealed, and some early QUALITY that forebodes a fun ride.

This could be a new Regalia which brings together fans of cute baka girls and fans of robots, only this time without Actas to sabotage it. Or it may not, as I hear robot fans frown upon CG.

R: 29 / I: 26

Webm

I wanted a thread to post anime scenes I really like.
Feel free to post whatever webms too.

R: 13 / I: 9

Bermuda Triangle

What does Samachan think?!

R: 17 / I: 10

The magnificent kotobuki

A western with sky pirates instead of outlaws and cute girls instead of lone rangers. And air to air combat instead of showdowns at noon.

It's a really strange setting but it's got me hooked! The girls are cute and the combat was really fun to watch. I love how they made a lot of the shots from the first person perspective or on a fixed point of the plane.
The only thing is the jarring CG in this episode, it seems only the main cast is animated in CG for some reason…
The PV for the next episode seems to indicate it'll probably go full CG from now on so that's fine.

Bakemonogatari - Hitagi Crab

Recently I started digitizing the Monogatari books that have been released in English.
So I've deiced to release the first part of Vol 1 here.

Here is Hitagi Crab: https://my.mixtape.moe/aorieh.epub

Just so you are aware there will be some errors, I have proof read it (mostly).
If you happen to find any errors please point them out to me, I will have them fixed when the the full book is released.

R: 4 / I: 1

Girly airforce

This was neat, but then again I'll almost always automatically like things with neat looking aerial combat.

My first thought when seeing this in the airing shows list was "this looks like arpeggio of blue steel but with planes instead of boats, but that's not possible right?" Then it turned out to be pretty similar to arpeggio of blue steel with planes instead of boats. other than the enemy not being cute girls, or at least it seems that way for now)

also, Grippen-chan a cute!

What does Samachan think of 4th wall breaks?
Do they pull you out of the story and remind you it's fake, or make the characters feel more real since they acknowledge they're characters in a manga?
I used to feel the former but have been feeling the latter recently.

Gaikotsu Shoten'in Honda-san

it's a funny comedy anime that airs this season

R: 6 / I: 1

Why is there such a strong persecution leaning in anime/manga?

I don't mean "why are all the main characters in real-life settings Japanese", "why is Japan often the only country left after the end of the world", or even "why do isekai inhabitants always hail Japanese food/drink/customs as the greatest thing ever, including sliced bread". All of those can be at least partially excused by the rule that a writer always writes what he knows and is comfortable with, and by the fact that most series are written for a Japanese audience, who expect to see mostly Japanese people if the story is set in Japan. It's basically the same deal as why Hollywood shows are either set in the United States or are only nominally set in (say) India or the Mideast.
I mean more of, why is it so commonly Japan against the world, both on a national level as well as a personal one? It's possible that I've just read so much that it's getting old for me, but it seems to me that "that Jap is going to go down" or "damn Japs" shows up -way- too much in fighting or war shows, and also it's pretty common for many countries' governments (except, usually, Japan's) to be shown as villainous and more or less wholly irredeemable. Is this enjoyable for the target audience? It breaks immersion and suspension of disbelief for me. You could be generous and say that the narration is biased since it's being "told" by the (Japanese) protagonists, but that's a pretty weak argument if you ask me.

Godzilla anime movie trilogy

Has Samachan been watching the Godzilla anime movies?
What do you think them/it so far?

I've heard complaints about the protagonist but I actually like him and think he serves the role well. Godzilla being a fucking tree is pretty lame but they did a good job (at least at the end of the first film) showcasing his power.
The second film had even less Godzilla screentime that Godzilla films with very low Godzilla screentime, though. The first time he moves is over a full hour in.
I liked the brown normal sized versions of the Shobijin, though, and the re-imaginings of Ghidorah and Mothra were really creative, just a shame Godzilla himself is so dull.

Two page spreads count.

I read this back when I was a teen at an impressionable age, and Bandou was a character I held as a roll model or hero as lame as that sounds. So I haven't been as affected by a visual in manga as I was by seeing him with his guts shown hanging out and eyes bleeding.
I didn't cry, but I was really stirred inside.

I'm stealing the image from that one anonymous in the summer thread because none of the screencaps I took would make for a good opening image.

This was kind of confusing for a first episode I guess. Having time traveling characters with amnesia doesn't help clearing things up much either. The girls are cute though.

R: 3 / I: 2

Tsukumogami Kashimasu

The premise is intriguing and I think it has a lot of potential to be decent. I can't remember any series belonging this genre (historical + supernatural + detective) in a while so it's something refreshing to have. Vaguely reminds me of Konohana Kitan.
