(+) Yeah! (+)

It just kinda stays the deku-bakugou-todoroki show with a side of Iida/Uraraka for a bit, though a few others do get their spotlight now and then and more recently.

I was assured by someone that Gintama was ending this year, what happened to that?
---

Wooo soma rising back from the ashes.

Neverland and stone are great too
---

Also nobody watch ousama game plz.

I read the manga, terrific start, plenty of tension and mystery.

Then the big plot reveal is worse than an m shyamalan twist.

Unless the anine goes a totally different route in which case it could be good!

Wake Up Girls 2 - I guess HE has returned to save anime once again

I have some unfortunate news for you
---

All of these studio changes AND the savior isn't back? Anime is fucking doomed brothers

XD Hikage rapping in Peach Beach Splash. The story mode is really short (like maybe 1 hour per route), but there are extra stories as usual for each of the girls and lots of stuff to collect. Totally gonna try to Platinum this shit

So what's the word on Magus Bride? Do I need to watch the OVAs before the show or is the show going to retread?
---

@swordz9 oh wow I didn't know we were getting Fairy Tail 2018. Hype. Now I gotta catch up. Didn't finish watching Tartarus.

Yep! It should finish animating the whole thing since the manga is done. It's always nice when a shounen manga gets a full anime adaptation.

I don't know how long ago S2 aired, but has there been any news of a My Hero Academia S3?

S2 literally just ended.
---

Oh really? Damn I didn't even know. I thought ended a while ago since it's all on Hulu. Not sure what I will watch when I finish S2. Maybe Titan S2 or some other shounen

Titan. Do it
---

Yeah, I'll most likely go with Titan. I think there are still some shorts/OVAs/etc of it I haven't seen, but whatever.

It is true that it just ended, but this is currently the top thread on /r/anime: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/735snj/my_hero_academia_gets_third_season_with_image

Disclaimer I don't follow the series though so I didn't really check to make sure this is legitimate, but it seems like it is.
---

Oh shit I need to get back to Jojo part 4 too. I watched a couple episodes back when it aired. I think I stopped right before some girl showed up. Got a lot of catching up to do

Couple more shows I finished:

New Game!! was better than the first season IMO. Just better overall quality I guess? S1 had a few eps that were kinda boring/unfunny, but that didn't really happen here. Used its characters better, and the ongoing plot for this season was a lot more interesting than the one from S1. The new characters weren't amazing, but they were solid. Felt like they belonged more than the S1 side cast, who were also used more effectively hee, since they were put into good situations and behaved more like professionals than school SoL rejects (tea time was so dumb).

Also done with Gamers! It seems like I didn't enjoy this one as much as a lot of people did. It did go on a fairly unique trajectory with its use of extreme misunderstandings for comedy, but there are definitely series that have done that much better (Angel Densetsu chief among them). I didn't like most of the cast either. The actual game club members from the first ep seemed a lot better than the characters we actually ended up with, though at least Amano stopped being a piece of shit (mostly, lol episode 11) after a few episodes. And most importantly, I just didn't find it that funny. There were some good jokes here and there, but a lot of them were telegraphed way too hard. I can see that making it funnier for some people, but it did not work for me at all.

Finally, decided to drop Magic Circle Guruguru. This is another one where I just didn't find it very funny. The pacing is super fast; the jokes just aren't good. And the 'hilarious' old guy who hangs out with them way too much is just plain annoying. Would've been much better if he'd just been there for one ep. I was hoping this was only 12 eps so I could finish it, since it's not like, the worst, but it looks like it's 24. At least ep 12 felt like a decent stopping point, and was one of the best parts of the series (Nike's interactions with chef were incredible).

I should probably check out anime charts and see what else I missed from the last 2-3 years that I might care about

Was the Phoenix Wright anime good? I only ever played the first game

It was bad. Don't watch it.
---

Well damn. I wonder if there were any good yuri series in the last 3~ years aside from YuruYuri S3

More like if there were even any since then.

Let's see, Yuri Kuma Arashi and Netsuzou Trap.

I think Centaur's Life had some.

That might just be it.
---

I forget if I saw any of Yuri Kuma Arashi

Valkyrie Drive Mermaid is pretty yuri
---

Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten the show that SAVED ANIME?

swordz, since you're all about Senran right now, you should just watch that.
---

Well there's Sakura Trick but I think that was a bit over 3 years ago.
---

Oh yeah forgot Valkyrie Drive. I wish he would have the Senran Kagura waifus make out and also show nips >_>

Saw and loved Sakura Trick. Literally devastated it will probably never get another anime

The manga for Sakura Trick ended too, so it getting a 2nd season is even less likely now.

there was a Senran Kagura ova special that had nips

no making out though

Yeah, I dunno why the games don't have nips. I mean they would be more popular if they did >_>

still don't get the point of playing fanservice games that don't have real ecchi content...
---

Most fanservice games don't aside from VNs I think. At least I can't think of any with actual nudity or anything

Well yes, but I play VNs, so :p
---

I'd probably play more if my laptop wasn't so terrible.

can't handle slideshows with audio huh
---

Considering Fate/Stay Night had several audio lag grinding issues when I played it pretty much. Majikoi even had some slowdown with the mouse cursor I think. At least I barely ever use it now so it doesn't bug me

Maybe you should consider putting aside the money you use on games to get a decent laptop.

I'm sure even a cheap one will be significantly better than what you have.
---

Why bother when I don't really need my laptop for anything these days. The last time I even used it more than a couple minutes a month was when I did that F/SN readthrough topic. I'll replace it eventually, but right now it's low priority

so do you want to play more or not
---

I do, but not in any rush I guess. Watching S2 of Hero Academia and damn this is getting good. I like the ED with all the waifus too. I'm on ep20 total so that should be like 6 episodes into S2 which seems about double the length of S1 wooo

Man stomachache laser boy is so lame lmao. He feels like a fourth tier extra. Mina is pretty good though so it's a shame she ain't getting more focus. I still don't know what the hell is up with her appearance, but whatever.
