Is wolf children streaming anywhere?

I don't think so. I resorted to buying it whenever I wanted to watch it. Might be worth checking Amazon if you have that service though? I know that didn't exist yet when I watched the movie.
---

It's a movie so I assume you can rent it
---

I saw Wolf Children. Probably my favorite anime movie not including Anohana and Monogatari and New Ocean Truth's movies.
---

Honestly pretty sure A Silent Voice is my favorite anime movie.

I did like Wolf Children a reasonable amount, though I thought The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was better.
---

Classic Akira & Castle of Cagliostro lover here.

Wolf Children was pretty solid though, liked Summer Wars as well from him.
---

Finished watching Sakura Quest. Odd show. Not really like any other anime. It's pretty cool that PA Works keeps churning out unique original series. I think basically everything about the show was quite well done. It had consistent, believable character development for the entire main cast, and several characters in the side cast too. The animation was great, pacing was fairly fast, and even all most of the mini-arcs in the show felt pretty fresh. The way it all came together was cool too, though I wasn't a huge fan of the very ending. I honestly feel like I should've liked the show more than I did. Everything about it was well done and interesting, but I guess it just never really connected with me? I liked basically every character, but I didn't love any of them. I think episode 24 had some decent emotions, but most of the show didn't really. Oh well.

ok just watched this week's Soma

Holy shit Azami (visually) looks so totally out of place in ways he didn't in the manga. Exact same way Ougi does in Monogatari, come to think.

Danganronpa 1 beated.

Aoi too high, but I respect the rest even though I am ok with Toko (mostly because I actually like Jack)
---

I feel like I'm probably the only one who disliked or didn't care about all of the major DR1 characters aka Makoto, Monokuma, Toko, Byakuya, Kyoko and Junko. Would literally have to say Makoto was the best of those and he's a boring generic MC. I didn't like the personalities of the others at all really.

Swordz, do you, by chance, not like the cast of Danganronpa 1?
---

I don't know man. While you're here though did you ever manage to get on Overwatch during the Halloween event? If not that sucks because Viking Torb is something you need :(

Negatory, but I still like using Ironclad ironically so it's cool.
---

Damn. I take it they haven't given any update on that better internet situation yet too. Hopefully you don't miss the Christmas event too. Zea's been playing a lot less since he got a girlfriend too. The anime Overwatch crew is fading away lol

Always glad to see people get through DR1 so that they can get to DR2.
---

I will agree with swordz that DR is not worth a full game. I'm glad they were bundled.

- GO KIMETSU, push that shitty Black Clover out.
- Why isn't Spring Weapon dead yet
- Golem Hearts is kind of promising, writing was actually decent. Pretty whimsical, might be the closest to One Piece in tone I've seen in a while.
---

Black Clover was something I could never get into

Apparently going to be a Free S3 from what I hear

Kinda curious how this is because I've heard people say it's terrible and most of the girls barely have any sort of panel time

Uh, am I supposed to have heard of that?
---

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san up there
---

And yeah it's an ecchi manga that...it's not my thing. The tsundere also gets way too much screentime compared to the rest despite not being the main girl.
---

Yup, Sonia is definitely my favorite in DR2. Reminds me of Majikoi Chris in some ways.
---

Just Because subs delayed qq

recovery of an MMO junkie good times

recovery of an MMO junkie good times

Best show this season. Maybe of the year at a kneejerk reaction
---

MMO Junkie would have been a strong contender for most of the seasons this year, but it's in the lower half of my Winter list.

That just says more about Winter than anything else. I love MMO Junkie.
---

Looks like the Just Because delay was small.

Time for best show of the seasooooooon.
---

MMO Junkie sounds an anime Natwaf should watch.
---

For some reason they call the show something else in the actual subtitles of the OP.
---

It's more like Crunchyroll localized their own title
---

So is the official localized title not Crunchyroll's decision? And Crunchyroll would just....ignore the official title, but still have to out the official one for the anime's page?

It's weird.
---

The title shown in the OP is an actual translation of the Japanese title (Net-juu no Susume)

Past that, I have no fucking idea
---

The official English title is often different from the English title the Japanese author comes up with because they don't know English. How do you not know this by now ltm
---

Is the english title in the OP hardcoded? It's been a week since I last saw it but I could have sworn it seemed to be subbed in.
---

well I'll say Recovery of an MMO Junkie is definitely easier to remember other than just saying the japanese title
---

I do agree with this

I just don't know if Crunchy has any sort of process for their localized titles (Assuming they're even the ones that come up with them) or if they just kinda make them up as they go

It's from the Japanese version. That's what it looks like in the original broadcast.

remember girls beyond the youth KOYA
---

I remember a thoroughly mediocre show that had so much potential in the first couple episodes
---

didn't Lefty fight us to the death defending it?

I could never get past the silly Engrish name lol
---

There was definitely somebody here defending that hardcore, to the point that I was more than willing to try it, but....didn't it not get picked up for streaming?

I feel like l3fty didn't like it actually

Logic dictates that if there's a show everybody but one person hates it's usually KA with a slight chance of it being Mac.

It definitely got picked up by somebody since it's got a HorribleSubs release
---

Maybe it was Strike back when nobody in their right mind had it.

Actually....pretty sure it was Daisuke?
---

I gave youth KOYA a 1

loathed it from the very start

please don't libel my good name
