OK, that was...fine. The idol thing seems completely background and to not be part of the actual plot.

Everyone likes Aria. And yeah, it covers the entire manga, so it's not super short...

Why are they also idols..

Because this is an anime! There's literally no other reason, and that's what makes it great.


False. Idols is probably the worst trend in modern anime? Not to say that idols automatically make everything bad (Macross is still pretty great, though 'coincidentally' the one that aired after the idol trend really took off is the worst one...), but I can't really think of any other trend that I have less affinity for. Even the shows that people say are good (Love Live, Idolmaster, etc.) I seem to end up disliking. And I feel like there's been a few times I've been annoyed with idols being worked into series where they don't really belong.

I just appreciate the blatant pandering from how they shoehorned it into Pretty Derby for no reason. The fact that random silliness like that can just be included is something I enjoy about anime.

Finished March Comes in Like a Lion Season 2, because evidently the final 2 episodes both aired on Saturday.

This show had a few rough patches which i somewhat vocally complained about in this topic. However at this point I can't say with reasonable confidence that they were just patches, as the show as long since regained its footing and been fantastic since then. Overall what we've gotten of the story so far has been a pretty great ride. I had a longer version of this typed up, but it was encroaching on spoiler territory. So, I'll just say that I think the main strength of this show lies in its uniquely calming atmosphere and the way it contrasts with the more dramatic scenes in the anime (which do happen). It's also got a really strong cast of characters, with even most of the side characters being pretty compelling a well. Anyway at this point I can pretty comfortably recommend this show, at least to people who like slow-paced anime dramas.

How true is this?

I mean I can't say that I specifically remember anyone who has watched it and said they didn't like it, but it definitely doesn't strike me as a show that would appeal to everyone.

I think a lot of people just haven't seen it.

Also the whole series including OVAs seems to be on TubiTV which has a PS4 app, so less hassle than I thought (Crunchy only has S1).

Crunchy has S1 and S2 (in Canada at least, could be different elsewhere I guess). I'm planning to watch Aria too later this month.

Scanning through the RAW for the new Legend of Galactic Heroes.

I think modern audiences are gonna be a lot less forgiving of a first episode that literally just people standing/sitting on a ship bridge giving orders and yelling, lol.

I meant more on B8. It also came in second when I did an anime of the decade contest on OT a few years back.

No, he's right. Crunchyroll has both Aria Season 1 and 2 on there, even in the US.

Aria the Animation is Season 1
Aria the Natural is Season 2

It just doesn't have the OVA or Origination (Season 3)

Because it's been 40 years and a bunch of them died is the obvious answer.

not to mention little Timmy and his Dad Joe Schmoe that watches SW7/8/9 movies are probably watching it because Joe Schmoe's dad brought him to watch the old movies as a tradtion

Holy shit I took a look at the Summer chart and this is the 3rd show listed

Back Street Girls - A group of 3 yakuza failed their boss for the last time. After messing up an important job, the boss gave them 2 choices: Honorably committing suicide, or go to Thailand to get a sex reassignment surgery in order to become "female" idols. After a gruesome year long training to become idols, they successfully debut, with overwhelming popularity, much to their dismay. This is where their tragedy truly begins.

I'll spell it out if you are just being obtuse

99% of the people watching LOGH are space operas fans

much much smaller % of people watching SW are space opera fans

your equating SW fans to space opera fans doesn't make sense because it's a cultural phenomenon and then comparing the scope of SW to something like LOGH is dumb

My point is that space operas weren't popular in the 80s either. Space operas are no less popular now than they were then.

also LtM 1988 was 30 years ago not 40 years ago

if we're only talking about anime then the 80s had a market for space operas with the original Gundam trilogy

MSG 0079 (1979)
Zeta (1985)
ZZ (1986)

then there was Macross (1982) and if we go back even a little bit into the 70s there was Space Battleship Yamato(1974) and Captain Harlock (1978)

kimari was definitely the worst imo, she's likable just doesn't have as much depth.

the show wasn't what I expected at all. well, until I saw people talking about it. wouldn't have expected "cute girls go to antarctics" to be anything special on paper.

So does anyone else have this issue?

I've been reading Red River and I enjoy it while I'm reading, but I never feel interested in actually beginning to read. I sat it out for two months before reading another chapter, enjoyed that one, and now it's been two or three weeks since then. Don't want to drop it because I like it, but can't bring myself to keep going back to it, especially since I'm not even halfway through.

Anyway, I downloaded all of ReLIFE because I heard the anime ending cuts out a ton of stuff. Gonna start reading that soon.
