I didn't think the Umineko anime was that bad

I mean, at least it wasn't the Chaos;Head anime


When I watched it, I didn't think it was bad. I had a fun time. But after getting into the VN, looking back and rewatching parts, it was a terrible adaptation.

Absolutely

the anime was good for the sole reason that it got me to read the VN

I couldn't quite understand the hatred for the Umineko anime because I didn't read the VN. But even besides the VN, it was pretty confusing to me. Very frequently the mystery felt very underdeveloped and inadequately explained. Too many statements being flown off here and there and resolving either instantly or coming up much later. I imagine in the VN they keep track of the red and blue statements.

I'd probably enjoy the hell out of it tbh. I'm still stuck on Higurashi, the anime of which I very much enjoyed. Even that one gets some bad rap from being a bad translation in relation to the VN, but I think that's more a case of people not understanding that VNs are like 20+ times the story that an anime is able to tell

I loved the Higurashi Anime. From what I've heard, it's a pretty good adaptation. I've only read the first story arc of the VN, which in my favorite arc of Higurashi. And I think it was a great adaption as far as I've read.

And yes. The VN for Umineko is much more coherent, it keeps track of a lot important things in a little notes section. The anime cut a lot. Now, I get cutting things, especially from Umineko, Umineko is long as shit. But a lot of the stuff that was cut or glossed over was really important stuff, while they kept a lot of things that weren't as important and could have been cut instead. After reading Question Arc of Umineko, it is solvable. That is exactly what the anime adapted, and it isn't possible to solve after watching the anime. The anime also straight up completely changes a lot of scenes. It was just overall a mess.

For those who have ever read Overlord or just have some idea...

If the Floor Champions and Maids all turned against Ainz Ool Gown and fought him at once, could Ainz win? Like, just HOW much more powerful than everyone else is he?

Anyone in nazarick could beat ainz solo, specially shaltear and albedo, he's just a supportive magic caster, the only reason why he won against shaltear was because he literally used pay2win items from the yggdrassil MMO

It was a gamble, he wasn't sure if the method of NPC revival from yggdrasil would work in that world, but he could also not let shaltear fall into the enemy's hands, or worse, be left rampaging across the world.

That's why he was relieved when he saw she was in a "passive" npc mode rather than roaming or rampaging, but he was fully conscious that the only way he could save her was killing her.

but lo and behold, the power of pay2win saved the day again and he revived her with copious amounts of gold, that's why he went to the treasury in nazarick to check on pandora's and the treasures, he assumed he would need a lot of it if the revival method was possible, he had a notion that resurrection magic worked in that world since he saw it before iirc worked on regular people.

the main thing I've heard about the higurashi anime in comparison to the VN is that it's not really that bad as a show, but it really shifts the focus as to what parts of the story are presented as important and emphasized and what parts are not. The result is that the show ends up feeling like some gorey slasher horror kinda thing which the VN is definitely not

umineko anime is literally only half the story so lol

People had problems with it outside of it being only half of the story. In this case I think it sucking came before it getting the 2nd season approved to complete the story.

And yeah Higurashi had to cut out a lot of slice of life stuff but like I said before, a VN tells over 20 times the story a full 2 season anime can in the time allotted. A great amount of cut is expected, and I felt the anime cut it into a very competent and smooth flowing story without losing some of the core aspects of the overall plot

That's the worst-case scenario,, and sadly, it's a likely one. It's possible, but doubtful, that someone else (Sentai maybe) got the NA license, but got it so late that they didn't get the English subs done yet. Or the best-case scenario, since the show originally aired on Funimation subbed before the partnership, maybe Funi held onto that specific license and they'll air it subbed as well as the simuldub. Crunchyroll still benefits since they can hype Index 3 being on VRV (through Funimation's side of things) as well.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Regardless of what happens with Index, at least I have one show to watch today... even if it's the least-anticipated sequel anime of the season and I'll be one of the like six people on this entire site watching it.

Not that. I'm waiting for the dub, and part 4's dub only just started recently, so part 5 won't be for a while.

Matt Mercer as Jotaro in part 3 is pure gold, and Patrick Seitz also made for a fabulous Dio. But so far, the part 4 cast seems to be better on average than the part 3 cast. We'll have to wait until later characters are introduced (at least until Kira shows up) before I can judge part 4 as a whole.

Watched the Sumo anime and that seems like easy watching fun.

Also watched Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara, and I love the concept but the main character is rather dull. Hopefully that changes.

Her being dull and depressed is probably why her grandma did that thing that she did.

I read the VN. That was a horrible experience. It's not good when every single scene that involves the main character makes you want to beat his little bitch ass.

So I got around to starting up Yokai Watch as well. Had a used copy of it for a long time now. It's actually a lot more fun compared to the demo, now that I got to figure things out on my own and stuff.

The localization and translation isn't bad per se, but it feels kinda jarring because of how "Japanese" everything looks.
That and they didn't do so good with Whisper's dialogue. He's supposed to sound super polite.

I'm watching the preview because I don't trust any show with "zombie" in the name, no matter how cute and fun it looks on the surface.

EDIT: I was correct to not trust it and go in blind. Nope. Not watching it.

I watched first ep of that vampire show

It's extremely predictable to the point of being unfunny ( when you already know all the punchlines halfway through the jokes what's the point?) and everything about it just goes on way too long

It would have made an alright 5-6 minute short but as is it's just agonizing

I don't watch horror or zombie-related stuff unless something about the show really catches my interest (like what Angels of Death managed to do), so it'll take a lot to convince me. If you want to try and convince me, I don't care about you spoiling the true premise. But I doubt you'll convince me.
