Topic # 85 to conclude 2018. Anime / manga and JRPGs face new levels of both censorship and scrutiny. The Nintendo Switch ascends. Crunchyroll and Funimation are divorced. Hidive does not have enough stuff. Netflix dawdles. ... I have hope for 2019.

I don't think I watched a single new anime series is all of 2018...

I did start playing Azur Lane though.

I started Zombieland Saga but haven't gone past around episode 5 or so.

Playing Yakuza 0 right now. This is the best game I've played in years, and definitely the best non-jRPG/VN game I've ever played. I got so sucked into the cabaret minigame I finished it in the same chapter it was introduced.

Finished up uzamaid. Still pretty wild to me the series can exist. Was fairly funny although it got repetitive in the middle section. Kind of feels morally wrong to like the show though.

I think the loli yuri vampires one finished too so I have a few episodes of that left. Haven't seen slime yet. Probably gonna save this stuff to watch after xmas stuff ends since it's a bit of rough time and I'll want something nice to escape to after its over.

I'm pretty pleasantly surprised by all the yuri this season and next. Assuming the manaria friends PV isn't hugely misleading we've got that and Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! which seems yuru yuri ish. That's 5 shows minimum with light to heavy over these two seasons (bloom into you, uzamaid, the vampire one being the shows from this season).

It also feels like we have firmly left the old yuri style behind (aka, tragic ending 100% of the time). Praise I guess sakura trick/yuru yuri from freeing of us that awful trend.

Next season actually has a ton of stuff to be excited about. Mob psycho 2, kakegurui 2, fucking boogiepop but for real instead of being the most confusing anime of all time, promised neverland that you guys have been backburner hyping me up on for like a year, an anime original mecha series (that actually looks like it'll probably suck, but maybe not). Saw some people mentioning rise of the shield hero is a good isekai light novel so maybe that'll be good too. That's on top of those 2 yuri anime. I'm sure at least some of it will disappoint and hopefully there will be a sleeper hit or two but I've got a lot to look forward to trying out at least.

It is good that writers have realized yaoi/yuri doesn't have to be treated as a super dramatic or dark thing.

I'm still anxious about the upcoming anime adaptation of Domestic na Kanojo. It's the kind of series that thrives not only on the main story but also on a rich, large cast of characters and the growth everyone experiences along the way. If the whole thing is being condensed to one or even two seasons, it's going to lose a lot in the process.

This is a good time to be a yuri fanficcer, I agree. Having positive source material will only help.

Survived easily my worst christmas. Aside from running on almost no sleep (4 hours, woke up at 2am) and dealing with a ton of stressed rude relatives, I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, couldn't find the spare cause it was hidden under two layers of carpet, 1 layer of wood, and the center console, and finally managed to get triple A out there after a few hours waiting in the cold. Had to stick to 50 on the ride back which made it take forever and people tailgated me the whole way at around midnight.

Now I'm home though so time to relax with yuri vampire anime and beer and try to forget I exist for a few hours. At least I managed to avoid the illness most of my family had, for now anyway.

It's nothing special and it's more really strong yuribait than much yuri. Still a decent relaxing show with cute girls doing vampire things. Not particularly into vampires but its yuri so eh.

NFI is apparently taking off Detective Conan in the new year. Kept meaning to go through it since I assume I haven't seen a lot of them but, tbh, I've never liked the sub anywhere near as much as the dub and many of the episodes feel choppily edited when compared to the manga (specifically since the anime resolutions feel a little soft)

I never actually watched much of the Detective Conan sub, besides some of the more important story arcs. I have everything that was dubbed, and besides that I just read the manga and watch the movies.

I'm also five episodes into Just Because and liking it. It's got nice atmosphere and the characters & subdued tone have a realistic feel. I'm curious what others who have seen it think about it though, because apparently it's surprisingly polarizing.

Eh, that Ghost Stories dub is pretty bad -- mostly because they shoe-horned in a lot of crappy humor that ruins the mood -- but I'll likely watch it instead of the sub simply due to not feeling like watching subbed anything lately.

Seconding this. Funimation dubbed it the way they did because the show had nothing going for it otherwise.

I finished playing through all of Kingdom Hearts (minus Re:Chain of Memories; I don't hate it like some people do, but I just don't have the energy to go through it a third time). I guess I have time to go for a Platinum or two in the next month. Or maybe I should give it a rest and play something else for a while.

The PS4 collections. I actually should have waited a couple days before finishing the last game in the collection; I beat KH1 at almost exactly midnight on New Year's a year ago.

Regarding Ghost Stories, the story is that the anime bombed so hard in Japan that when the studio (Animax) presented it the localization team (ADV Films) for them to dub, they gave them total creative freedom as long as they followed these three rules:

"1. Do not change the names of any character, including the ghosts.
2. Do not change the way any ghost is killed as it is based on Asian ghost legends.
3. Do not change the meaning of the episode."

As long as they followed those, Animax told the dub team to "do whatever else you want to make the show successful."

I don't think Animax truly realized what they were signing up for. :P

Started on (what is now) last seasons anime/s, season 2 of Thunderbolt fantasy was first and just like S1 it's quite simply good fun to watch, if you can get past the very different "animation" for it I would highly recommend it.

Next up was Conception, it er.. well it's probably the "best" contender for the worst anime I've seen this year by a considerable margin, it's bad, like realllllllllly bad, I don't recommend it at all.

And now I've started Tokyo Ghoul Re, I can very much tell it's aimed at people who read the manga but I'm not having too much trouble keeping up with it so far.

I also just finished up goblin slayer. Very solid last two episodes. White magic OP. Might as well just cast protection horizontally inside the enemies and split em all in half next time.

Honestly a bit concerned with the fact that it's continuing in a season 2. Where can they go from here? They've killed all the way up the goblin food chain. I feel like it would have been a strong ending if they just stopped it now. Oh well, hopefully they manage to make it good.

Not sure what I'll watch next. I still have some of vampire yuribait and like 9 episodes of bunny girl. I just have a feeling I'm not going to like bunny girl going forward. The resolution to the first arc annoyed me a lot.

Aside from these two goblin slayer eps all I've been doing lately is playing the new smash since I got it and a switch for xmas (well, i got the money to buy it and then bought it myself but close enough). Heavily considering getting xenoblade chronicles 2 as well. I liked the first one and X a whole lot so it stands to reason I'll like this one too but man does that main character look annoying. I think I'm gonna do it anyway though.

@agesboy

Got a gachapin roll today, which netted me grand Rosetta, then I used the only 300 crystals I had for a single draw and got Anila. A great day for rolls for me. Wasn't able to get Shiva during the flash gala, but I did get my third Eden, so I'm even closer to building a light primal grid. So fucking happy to get Anila though. Decided that I wasn't going to save for a spark until after the wheel is gone, so I've been tossing every draw at these flash/grand galas.
