Fallout on Amazon was the best live-action adaptation of an anime or video game I’ve ever seen.

I went in not expecting much, and was shocked to find a pretty good show that was relatively woke-free.

And while it’s not anime, the female lead does have the most anime eyes I’ve ever seen on an attractive actress before.

Terrible, filthy stuff that anime is.  I’m guessing.  Because of course I’d never watch something that immoral.

I wonder if they’ll be a S2…. so I can be sure to stay away from it.

Not as messy as My Life as Inuke-san's dog, but just as likely to put you on a watch list.

I don’t think I’ve seen that one.

"My Life as Inuke-san's dog" makes "Dog and Scissors" seem pretty fucking vanilla.

Here's what I wrote a couple pages back:

So I watched the pilot episode of the new Spice and Wolf.

I'm left with a overwhelming feeling of "Why?"

Why are they just rehashing the same story from the old series season 1 we already saw?

I don't get it.

The original series ended on a huge cliff hanger, where Holo and Lawrence's relationship was in crisis.

Why not pick up there?

It's not like this new series has significantly better animation/story.

I don't get it.

ETA: Just watched the old series pilot episode.  Better fan service, Holo is hotter.  Why are they remaking this?


So yeah, it's like a shot for shot remake of the original series...but why, I have no fucking idea.

Animation isn't better, story is basically unchanged, old series had hotter Holo.

It's weird.

Did the Nagatoro manga just end?  It didn't conclude with "The End", but it gave the impression that this may end up being the last chapter.

Are you talking about the Japanese volume that was released this month that ended on 145? According to Wikipedia, they have two additional chapters taking it to 147 right now.

Also, with all the love about "Gushing" that's about a teenage dominatrix I don't want to hear shit about Nagatoro being for masochists.

I binged that one.  It was far more entertaining that I expected.  I love how comfortable it makes you with how the MC "fights."

Annoying character shows up starts talking shit. MC gives them the benefit of the doubt.  "I'm gonna walk away now and you're gonna let me"

Annoying character "not so fast"

Not really, this remake appears more faithful to the source material, other than the little scene at the start (which is itself just a nod and acknowledgement of the LN sequel, which the original series never reaches)

Just watched a video regarding upcoming anime, and it's apparently meant to be the whole story. Because of that, they've added a story point that was skipped in the original anime, but will be critical for the understanding of the complete story.

Yeah, but it feels like one of those chapters that wraps the story up at the end of the series.  And is that "to be continued" next month, "to be continued" after taking a month off, or "to be continued" if a decision is made to write some more of this story in a few years?

I kind of promised myself I would get current with the manga after the first ending.

But never did.

At some point I will but I haven't been keeping up with manga at all lately.

The 2 - 3 possible animes were named.
The composer had a very specific style that carried over across series so Friendtaro() wasn't sure which series it was from until doing some digging.

Yeah - and those bridges were pretty cool, as were the steep terrain and Oi river valley scenes.

Next time I visit Japan (not anytime soon, unfortunately) I will have to visit that area.

But... With season 3 now starting to air, is it just me, or do others feel that with the new studio and production team, even with many of the prior season's Japanese VAs, it feels a little 'off'?

It's still watchable - but something is different...

The anime (season 1 and 2) used slightly different character designs from the manga.  The current studio decided to go back to the character designs of the manga.  I occasionally notice it, but it is likely less jarring to me than it would be to someone who hasn't been reading the manga.  

I haven't checked the credits to be sure, but I think they changed the VA for the narrator/Grandpa.  If it is the same VA, he's either doing the voice differently for some reason, or something is being done differently with the sound.

Well, y’all were, unfortunately, right about S2 of Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside.  I’m 1/3 through the season and I’m bored out of my mind with there being basically zero plot.  

S1 was extremely basic, but it at least told a coherent story.  These first 4 episodes feel like the type of episodes that anime usually use as throw away filler episodes in between arcs.

I finished the second season but frankly the whole franchise just is kinda relegated to meh at this point despite having good potential.

Today's episode of reincarnated as the 7th whatever the fuck so I can do magic shit and stuff was fucking tits tho. Didn't start out this good, and I've doubts it can maintain. But damn it was fun.

Started watching  Chillin' in Another World With Level 2 Super Cheat Powers. I'd already watched the first couple of eps subbed, but saw that that dub for ep 1 released, so I started over. I missed this bit with the sub because my attention was at the bottom of the screen. Things like this are why I prefer dubs.

I went into Love After World Domination with rock bottom expectations fully expecting to bail after E1, but I was surprised to find a watchable anime.  Solid dub too.  I don’t know if that was the most fun Brittney Karbowski has had doing VA work, but it sounded like a contender.

Does Berserk of Gluttony get any better after E3?

I thought the first two episodes were promising and was curious to see more about the MC and his gluttony skill.  However, E3 was a snoozefest.  The whole damn thing was about the Canute-looking female MC (who I find boring as hell) and the anime seems to be trending towards her being pretty much a co-protagonist.

It might be a while. The series went on hiatus a while back, although i think it may have recently resumed. In my opinion the longest arc after the anime's coverage, while it moved the story a good deal, wasn't all that great.

The manga has a very interesting art style and is worth checking out. The anime did a very good job with a very limited budget.

It does get better but it never gets great. It's just your average tolerable but not good or offensively bad seasonal isekaislop. The ending is rushed and weird, like they didn't plan it out that great, and the pacing for all of the events sort of runs together there. Watchable though.

The female lead disappears for a while and is replaced by a better girl.

I thought the first two episodes were promising and was curious to see more about the MC and his gluttony skill.  However, E3 was a snoozefest.  The whole damn thing was about the Canute-looking female MC (who I find boring as hell) and the anime seems to be trending towards her being pretty much a co-protagonist.

That’s fine with me.  I just didn’t like the Canute Mary Sue nor the direction the anime was headed with regards to her role.

Real world locations shown in Yurucamp, with Google Maps coordinates.

Some names are different from what is shown in the anime.

Google street view is available for many of them, while photo spheres are available for some others.

More sightseeing.  More bridges.  More train riding.

Animation isn't better, story is basically unchanged, old series had hotter Holo.

It's weird.

I'd imagine it won't be a shot for shot remake the whole time

The original Anime deviated from the source material so I'm guessing they wanna try to re adapt the whole story properly

Like when the did FMA brotherhood they just started over instead of trying to add the real ending on top of what was already made

It's still watchable - but something is different...

May have been because (somewhere in the back of my mind) I was trying to notice differences in the latest episode, but it does feel like the 'flow' in some scenes isn't as smooth as the earlier seasons.  Nadeshiko doesn't seem quite as energetic as she was in previous seasons, for one thing.  Rin shifted gears a bit with Ayano getting a bigger role in the series, so it's hard to say whether her change is solely because of interacting so much with Ayano (who she isn't as familiar with as the other girls), or a mix of that and the studio change.
