View Quote His closing monologue (8:46) closely matches my opinion, and does a great job explaining why anime is so much better than anything Hollywood has put out lately (or for quite some time, really). The story should always come before "the message", and art should always come before politics. I want to be entertained, not preached to. |

So, is there a consensus verdict on Horimiya?
It came up in some earlier posts but I did not recognize it - only to discover that I have it in my queue in my Funimation account (which is likely to expire shortly). I’ve watched all of ep.1 and part of ep. 2. But I’m not sure whether or not I want to get sucked into watching a teen rom-com, if that’s what it’s gonna turn into. |

View Quote It's a high school romantic comedy (and it actually is pretty funny) that gets into the issue of how there is a public image or perception of a person, and then there is how the person actually is when they aren't trying to live up to the expectations of others. If my fuzzy memory isn't off, there was a manga done by the author, then a series of 4 or 5 OVAs using the author's art style for the characters. Then the author got a publishing deal that involved a collaboration with an artist (new art style for the characters) and a reboot of the manga. That was followed by the anime using the art style from the reboot, but trimming the source material down considerably, so that they could get it all in a single season. ETA: It's the type of romantic comedy where the male lead has friends who are jealous of him having a girlfriend, but also feel sorry for him, because of what his girlfriend puts him through. |

The hero does not want to take over/wipe out your country. If its #1 there is nothing you can do about it anyway. If it's #2 then by attacking him you give him a reason to do #1. Either way turning on him is retarded. I'm pretty sure he didn't kill the demon army's leader. As for why they would they would accept his help: it's easy. He could effortlessly kill all them if he wanted to and he didn't. The only person with the power to decide which side wins and which side loses is offering them his help and they are not in a position to refuse him. |

In fact, off the top of my head, I can't recall an MC as OP as him. And yet after he single-handedly defeated the demon lord's army his own country turns against him and tries to kill him AND after offering to join the demon lord's army and giving a valid reason for wanting to help them they reject him and then begrudgingly allow him to join. Both sides should be in a bidding war for him and instead neither wants anything to do with him. I’m watching it on HiDive. |

Sempai there's another magical girl in the storage room! View Quote Hey, anybody can be a magical girl if they want to be, right? I’ve been enjoying it. I thought that overall, ep. 3 was brilliantly executed, between the creative concept that set the stage for masterful maneuvering for political advantage and the infighting among the various factions, with each one pushing its own earnest yet ridiculous party platform, combined with the interplay between the characters that helped to more fully build out their individual personalities and motivations. And while parts of ep. 4 were just plain non-sensical, Click To View Spoiler and the concept of a ‘no panties allowed’ zone was pretty dumb, especially where the goddess was involved, nevertheless it was all good, clean fun at the same time. Also, I think that we’re seeing the emergence of an “OMG, they killed Kenny” shtick ala South Park, which is bound to be entertaining. But then, I’m easily amused… |

Good point I would say Click To View Spoiler That angle is pretty well covered as an anime trope. Typical anime would have him just decide to destroy everything. Then they would have another bright eye'd kid be the new hero trying to stop him. Or have MC join up with him on his quest for world domination. I think the creator/author of this one just wanted to ask the question. "what if the hero changed sides?" then plot elements to support that. I haven't seen this though. I was looking at trying it but ended up doing Spy X Family, Shield hero, and... Kaguya. Oh ya and the skeleton knight one! |

E2 for Skeleton Knight in Another World was slower than E1, but still good. I like how the MC is OP, but not OP AF.

I know you guys are more interested in the new shows being released, but are there any older shows you might recommend for someone fairly new to anime?
I'm almost finished with Ergo Proxy, which I've really enjoyed so far, and could use some more recommendations like that. It looks like it was from 2006-2007, which is what got me thinking about older anime series that might not get mentioned much anymore. What are your favorite older anime? |
