Honzuki no Gekokujou [The Ascendance of a Bookworm]

Loli bookworm.

Interesting enough first episode even though it ultimately seems to be yet another generic isekai made by a less-than-well educated author.

Main character's body is far cuter than the know-it-all main character in my opinion. I hope we see more of the world around the main character than the main character herself, honestly.

Autumn 2019

Huh, Chiharafuyu.
Interesting how GFL got some shitty literally-Chinese short while Azur Lane and FGO both get a full out anime, though Azur Lane is rocking some next level QUALITY. Looking forward to Tiamat titties, I suppose.

Suplexman will probably be hilarious. Rifle is Beautiful looks like it could be worth a shot. I dunno, though, season seems weak. Then again I think I've thought literally every season this year was weak and all of them were pretty decent.

The title is so dumb ahhhh, that and the synopsis really didn't make this appealing to me, but I was trying out some new airing shows so why not.

And to be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised. This had a really strong first episode with a really interesting world and characters.
The character design especially is very unique, I like the way a lot of these "exceed" look.

Gonna keep watching this for sure.

The search for the lost anime Saki Sanobashi

I posted this thread to a few other IBs but I'll be posting it here as well to spread the word

Yesterday I was watching a youtuber called Whang whom makes videos about tales from the internet, and he made a video that really grabbed my attention! It's a video about an ongoing internet mystery about this supposed lost anime.

The story goes like this: some time in 2015, an /x/ user on gaijinTITS posted in a thread titled "things you have found on the deep web". In this post, he said that sometime in 2011, he found an OVA for a really obscure 90s anime. The title of the anime was in Japanese but he remembers seeing some English words that said something like "Go For A Punch". The anime itself is a very grotesque gurofest. It's about 9 girls who get trapped inside of a bathroom with no way out. You see how their sanity begins to break and at the end, they all commit suicide in some very graphic ways. One of them smashes her head open, another one asks to be drowned, ect.
You should probably watch the video to catch up with all there is to know so far

I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. The setting and aesthetic are pretty interesting, the story has potential to go somewhere too I guess, though its not like we got much in the first place.

It kind of reminds me of that show a couple of seasons back with the actual fairy girls that would die pretty young fighting plant monsters , it has that same feel aesthetic wise maybe? I dunno, but this feels like it might be pretty forgettable.

I'm really liking the animation for this so far. The faces contort into some pretty neat expressions during the fight scenes, but I'm not sure how I feel about the SD mecha style. I guess it does fit the over all tone of cute magical girls with mechs, but its never been something that appeals too much to me.

I like the cat mech and the MC's mech has a funny hat so thats a plus.

Kyoto Animation Fire

A fire was brewing in Kyoto Animation studio… except this time it's for real.
An angry train otaku from 2chan poured gasoline unto the Kyoto Animation studio, burning the place to the ground, injuring many and killing 33 people!

Here's the culprits reason for it:

https://soranews24.com/2018/10/11/woman-jailed-after-entering-japanese-train-cabin-with-key-bought-at-online-auction/

>I'll try to summarize: Train-obsessed photographer on 2ch's train board makes up the word "barisaku" for a specific way to get the lighting just right when photographing trains, and keeps spamming that phrase on 2ch so much he ends up getting nicknamed Barisaku-kun
>Then KyoAni makes an anime about people who play in an orchestra ("Sound! Eufonium") where they use the word "barisaku" as a short for "bariton sakusofon" (bariton saxophone), and he thinks they stole his word that he was so proud of.
>What really broke the camel's back was when KyoAni collaborated with the Kyoto public transportation authorities to decorate a train with anime characters from Sound! Eufonium.
>From then on he went to 2ch's/5ch's anime board every single day to shitpost about how KyoAni ruined his life.
>But the threads suddenly stopped yesterday.
>The arsonist was overheard by witnesses as shouting "They ripped me off!" over and over again.

Anime and interpersonal relations

Do any of you let people in real life know that you watch anime? I'm pretty open about it and recommend shows to people, but they rarely ever take my suggestions and if they do, it is always shounen shit like Boku no Hero Academia or One Punch Man. Which is fine because I don't really care to discuss the intricacies of Kiniro Mosaic with people offline.
Having a coworker come over and tell me about some anime he's watching on Netflix made me think though
Is Samachan proud of its hobbies? Or do you all like to keep a low profile on liking Japanese culture?

Sifi anime/manga/LN

Does any other samaposter like sifi stuff?
I've always loved the genre, and getting to see how the japanese handle it is really interesting.

One of my favorite books of all time is a japanese sifi book. Yukikaze (and its sequel "good luck Yukikaze"). Absolutely fantastic works, I've probably talked about them before on here too.

The way the author mixes the philosophical themes and the high octane action of aerial combat is just amazing in my opinion. The characters are extremely interesting as well, watching Rei grow over the course of the books is pretty darn fascinating.

It's a huge shame the third book hasn't been translated yet, the second book leaves off on a pretty big cliffhanger…

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.

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.

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!
