Board 8 > Anime and Manga Topic 182: A Topic Further Than the Universe

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gainax shows ranked best to worst:

TTGL
Eva
Gunbuster
His and Her Circumstances
Diebuster
C3Bu
Panty and Stocking
Pleiades
FLCL
Nadia
Dantalian
Hanamaru Kindergarten
Abenobashi

Hmm, thought I'd seen more than that from them. Oh well. I wish H&HC hadn't run out of money. It was so good! Also Gunbuster has my favorite ending of any anime. Ep 6 is one of the best anime episodes ever. Definitely my favorite episode from anything Gainax/Trigger has done.
---

That....sure is a ranking.
---

Still waiting for that golf anime
---

all of TTGL/EVA/Gunbuster/Diebuster had amazing endings
---

Id love a dodgeball anime

I would watch a golf anime featuring world leaders

I thought Long Riders was bad but I guess that's not really a sport

Long Riders was great! Minus CGI riding, but it was ignorable for me.

Long Riders had issues.

LtM, wanna come back to F/GO?

---

I was fully aware of Shiki goodness, all the more reason not to come back and spend all that money to get her.
---

You could always just settle for the free event 4* Assassin one.

It's in her usual outfit anyways.

well Robot x Laserbeam is a WSJ golf manga

of course it's made by the author of Kuroko so it's a bit...unrealistic
---

The extent to which Last Encore's OP is determined to be spoiler free is admirrable. I wonder if that's gonna fill out with various servants every week.
---

I started watching Sound! Euphonium. I don't know the first thing about playing an instrument but, much like Your Lie in April, they're handling the musical aspect in ways that even a tone-deaf moron like me can appreciate. The characters are all really good too. Special mention has to go to Asuka for being the absolute best. She pranked Hazuki in episode one and has been consistently awesome ever since.

Not being familiar with golf it's kinda hard to tell.

There's a lot of visual exaggeration and concepts but not to the level of even kuroko's premise; that someone can be that unnoticeable even in the midst of a basketball game.

did i use the semicolon right
---

I'm no grammar whiz but my understanding is that semi-colons only work if the clauses it connects could both stand on their own as a grammatically correct sentence even if the other one was removed. The second one there reads awkwardly as a sentence so I don't think a semi-colon works. A colon would be fine though since the first clause introduces (and is explained by) the second.
---

Ah.

I'm always scared to use colons because I only use it when making lists and in writing out the zelda game titles.
---

Asuka too good
---

Asuka doujins too good
---

Hibike Euphonium what a fantastic show
---

So glad I watched it, one of the best over the last few years.

Without a doubt my favorite KyoAni series.
---

I still haven't seen Hibike Euphonium, but I would be incredibly surprised if it topped Clannad for me, which is in my top 5. Also A Silent Voice for that matter, though I guess that's a movie and not a series.
---

Asuka doujins have been markedly disappointing IMO...

...huh. I've given a lot of 9s to KyoAni series but no 10s. Not quite sure what my favorite would be. Maybe Hyouka or Lucky Star?
---

Need Eupho S3 instead of Free S3 imo
---

its getting a movie (or movies?)

or it already got one, I havent kept up
---

Hyouka season 2 would be more hype than either.

Gimme Haruhi and I will jump for joy.

Surprise KyoAni x Key series again gogogo!

agreed, this is my favorite Kyoani show without factoring in nostalgia for K-on
---

AFAIK Eupho got a recap movie and is getting a sequel movie. I assume it'll be original since the anime adapted all the source material. When the Hyouka anime was made, it adapted 4 out of 5 existing books. There are now 6 books.

Bruh.
---

I am now in a state where I want Violet Evergarden to be over so KyoAni can get back to the good stuff.

Although I think production on Evergarden is either nearing completion or already done, so not really an issue I guess.
---

oh what did Gintama actually end
---

I don't....trust the PV for Hanebado?

This honestly looks like a fake trailer, I don't think the show is actually gonna look like that.

Anarctica:

So as some people know, I co-host about visual novels podcast monthly-ish. We have a segment towards the end where a user can "shill" a VN you like for 2-3 minutes. Basically at the bare minimum you just briefly talk about what the visual novel is and why you like it. We're interested in getting some more shills lined up and ready. Other things to take note off if you want to contribute your own shill:

* Leave a 3-5 seconds of silence at the beginning and/or the end of the recording
* Please have the recording be a .wav file
* Make sure there's no background noise as you record
* It doesn't have to have an English Translation. But if it doesn't make sure you note that one doesn't exist (yet).
* You can't shill a VN that's already been done before which includes:

-The House in Fata Morgana
-MajiKoi
-Yumina the Ethereal
-Princess Evangile
-Root Double
-Tomoyo After
-Little Busters
-Sunrider
-Umineko series

If you're interested PM me a 2-3 minute-ish .wav file and we can work with it.

If you want an idea of how previous shill segments work you can go to our YouTube channel. Each video has one shill each and I put a timestamp in the description.

Finally finished Kara no Kyoukai. 7 was definitely fantastic but 5 was my favorite, though maybe that's the majority favorite not sure. Definitely seems split

No that's a pretty standard opinion. You watched 8, right? I think Amazon had them all IIRC, but 1-7 were packaged as a "complete series" before 8 came out, so it gets missed by people sometimes.

- Kimetsu. so good
---

First time I've best of Kimetsu. What puts it so high?
---

5 is by far the favorite overall. 7's my personal favorite.
---

5>7>3>8>6>2>1>4

4 is hot trash at merely an 8/10, how embarrasing.
---

5 > 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 6

Still never watched 7 lmao.
---

7 = 3 = 5 > 1 = 2 = 4 = 6
---

Woah, the 6 hate.

Can't handle schoolgirl Shiki, eh?
---

? 6 is often considered the worst in the series. Mainly due to how rushed the plot is. It should've been the same length as 5 and 7 considering its length in the source material.
---

I don't actually remember anything about it other than I thought it was dumb.
---

I haven't seen it in a while, I should continue that rewatch on Amazon.

I mainly remember liking Shiki hanging out with Azaka and liking them in general in it.
---

8 seems like more of an extra so I'll watch that at some other point, perhaps this weekend if I have time. I wanted to finish 6 and 7 before the FGO event in case they felt like spoiling something
---

No, 8's a real one. There's bonuses that came with 8 called Extra Chorus that are also on Amazom.
