Started watching season 2 of overlord. Been puttin it off for a while but finally felt in the mood for it. Just finished the lizardmen arc. I didn't rewatch the first season and figured I'd remember quickly. I didn't. Absolutely no clue what was going on for like 2 episodes. I mostly remember now though. Good so far, hope it keeps up.

I'm getting tired of shows that don't bother to adapt the whole source material. Especially if they don't even try to make up an ending and wind up with no closure at all; at least if they make their own ending then they're actually making an effort. I should have guessed by the length of the manga, but the two shows I'm watching right now, Btooom and After the Rain, are just one season long so they can't cover the whole story.

It's not a new thing at all, but it seems to be happening more often recently.

Btoom is fairly old at this point. In the last year or so it actually feels like we get more full adaptations (or at least season 2 or even 3s) then previously. I'm with you though, nothing more frustrating than running out of episodes with no conclusion. I still prefer that to horrible endings but it's very frustrating. I wish everyone would take the stance shaft has with monogatari where they intend to adapt it forever until its done. Shaft is pretty great overall really. Then again they didn't finish nisekoi or maria holic so overall I guess they aren't much better than other studios in this regard.

True but IIRC they stated early on while adapting bakemono that they would keep adapting it until it was finished. I may be misremembering but I think they were committed to going all in from the beginning even before it started printing money. It's still a mystery to me how that show has wide spread appeal. It's right down my alley so I'm happy about it but I'll never understand how it gained mainstream success.

Finished overlord season 2. It was nice but at the same time it feels like almost nothing happened. Needs like 50 more episodes. It's sort of got the game of thrones problem where there are so many plot threads that one season can barely advance most of them.

Started playing a VN called Maitetsu recently. I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm gonna play that one after I finish the third Grisaia.

I dunno if it's the "version" I got, but for some reason the H-scenes can only be seen with the event viewer and not during the story. And I actually couldn't view them at all until I clicked the thing that said unlock all h-scenes. I dunno if that's a bug or if that's how they wanted it to be but it's slightly annoying.

I went with the Hachiroku route first cause I felt that was the most canon route in terms of a single person route.

I think Hibiki is my favorite character.

But Kisaki is definitely the hottest to me.

Still playing Shining Song Starnova (i.e. lewd Idolm@ster, but a bit subverted, I am finding) and Goddess XOXO (i.e. the one that has the Love Live!-style character design). I need to go back to the Grisaia trilogy, but ... time, time, only so much. Got a pretty impressive VN backlog going, but, for some reason, I am most compelled to play the ones that are terrible first.

I hope it's not like that in the version I got, pm the one you got. I'll try to see if it's the same. I much prefer the scenes to just be part of the story, it kinda kills their value if they just feel like tacked on extras.

That's fine. I mostly want to check them out cause yo said they mimic another style that I like. The Love Live style.

Watched episode 3 of grand blue. Guess I'm watching it live. Quickly becoming one of my favorite comedy anime. Undecided on what I want to watch next. I'm almost certainly going to rewatch something motivational. Might just be bakuman again. Not sure though.

I did, and I would still wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of comedy manga.

Or even those people who are sick of manga/anime set in high school or have teenage characters. Grand Blue is about college kids, and everything that entails. (ie, lots and lots and lots of alcohol)

Just a heads up though, it got picked up by crunchyroll so fan scans only go up to around chapter 40. You need a crunchyroll membership to view it now.

It's a nice show, that's premise likely keeps people from watching it. Quite a good show though.

Eh, I'm sure some of those shows they intended to continue things down the road. At any rate, cliffhanger and unresolved endings for shows are a major nuisance outside anime as well. I started watching Residue on NFI not realizing that the show never got a second season and it ends with the heroine locked up in a facility, the cop framed for murder, no sign of other characters, and zero resolution on the mystery.

This has been a whole month full of bad karma. Still recovering from my back injury, my daughter is fresh from surgery (Friday), and then my smartphone died this morning without explanation. (Mercifully, it still had two months left on the warranty, so a replacement is incoming.) The only mobage for which I did not lose my data is Fire Emblem Heroes. So ... FGO is gone. Memoria Freese is gone. SMT Liberation Dx2 is gone. Star Ocean: Anamnesis is gone. A whole lot of time and effort is gone. FML.

I might try to restart Memoria Freese, but I get the feeling I am going to have to be content with playing FEH on my tablet for a little while.

No. They all have the thing where you hit a button to generate a code that you use to transfer your data to another device. My phone gave no indication that anything at all was wrong. It just randomly died. So I had no compelling reason to have a generated code on standby. *shakes head* My mistake.

It is. And you have been in these topics long enough to know that this is not the first time I have been burned in this way (see: Brave Frontier).

Failed to find what I was gonna watch earlier, ended up starting S3 of boku no hero academia. Figured it'd been a while. I'll probably stop on whatever arc seems to be the last completed one and then get back to it after the season ends.

The show kinda bums me out. I am not even slightly interested in super heroes or villains and I generally don't like shonen. The fact that this show is so well executed ends up feeling like such a waste. It's still enjoyable, but if it had an entirely different premise with this quality it could have been one of my favorites. Oh well. At least it'll probably stand for a while as the best straight shonen (since hxh 2011 is basically a subversion).

Am I the only one that hears "I keep my eyes useless" at the beginning of the boku no hero academia S3 OP? I know from the subs its supposed to be I keep my ideals (something japanese) but I can't help but hear eyes useless and it sounds so goofy.

Almost caught up to live. Some parts of the last arc were frustrating but oh well, thats shonen for ya.

Gonna finish Darling in the Franxx today most likely. Also, a bit over 40% into Grisaia 3's main story. I'm hoping, something from the anime that I actually remember, happens in this one. New Granblue event starts in a few hours, so I'm looking forward to that too and hopefully a bunch of free shit in August.

Another solid episode of grand blue. It's pretty much the only show I'm bothering to follow this season but it's great IMO. Showed it to a friend who didn't seem to enjoy it much cause of all the crazy faces and yelling. Unfortunate. I'm already sad it's only 12 episodes. Hopefully it gets another season and soon.

Finished 2nd season of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. Was definitely worth it. Such a cleansing feeling. Early eps of 2nd season were not in the same league as 1st season imo, but later after Matsuda revealed what really happened in that hotel it was only getting better and better. The afterlife episode made me feel both sad and happy, hard to describe with words. Really glad I have watched it and didn't dismiss it with "lol anime about rakugo".

btw If I understood correctly then old man Yakumo was Shinnosuke's real father and not Yakuza boss? That was a bit disturbing, thinking about how Konatsu made love with an elderly man that raised her...
