Anyone else watch that Vampire Who Lives Next Door show? It was pretty pleasant, wonder if it will get another season.
Decent, but I wouldn't expect it. SoL anime rarely get a season 2 unless the blu-rays sell like bonkers.

Fruits Basket woo!

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the Fruits Basket remake was planned to have more than one season from the very beginning. It was always talked about as a "full and faithful adaptation" of the manga, which was impossible to do in 26 episodes as the original 2001 series showed. I was hearing even before the series aired that there were rumored plans of the series being 63 episodes (split into chunks of 25-25-13) to tell the whole story.

Oh I know, I just know that really good Slice of Life can get more. Yuru Camp is getting another 13, for example

SHAFT and Bushiroad are working on a cute yuri girls doing cool action things anime together, with one of Bushiroad's BanG Dream bands performing the OP. I feel like this could either be absolutely amazing or utterly mediocre, with little chance of anything in between.

I'm already hyped for when it airs next Summer though.

I saw people online saying that the premise sounds like one of those generic battle school anime like Chivalry Of A Failed Knight or Absolute Duo. Remember that trend in 2015? You know, before isekai anime completely took over the industry? Anyways, hopefully this show can avoid having the same flaws (not having a male protagonist and just being all girls should help a lot) and and up on the "absolutelyt amazing" end of the spectrum.

Chivalry Of A Failed Knight
This show was great though, better than the 2 other shitstains of animes that were the same premise that released during that season, asterisk war and something platoon.

Anti-Magic Academy was just a generic battle harem/spec ops. Asterisk Wars and Failed Knight were literally plagiarism.

I was remembering that Comet Lucifer was the other one in the same season...

https://myanimelist.net/anime/31318/Comet_Lucifer

...but you're totally right, AntiMagic Academy 35th Test Platoon was in the same season too.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/24133/Taimadou_Gakuen_35_Shiken_Shoutai

There were four battle school anime in the same fucking season, three of which (all of them except 35th Test Platoon) had almost identical first episodes. Then the trend completely died almost immediately, and isekai took its place.

I tend to think 20+ years is too long. That's just me though.

I just think it eventually leads to stagnation of characters and repetitious story telling.

For example, The Simpsons.

So what you're saying is that we need 3 isekais within the same season with the same premise and the first first ep for the genre to die

Totally unbiased but considering failed knight was the better show ill say asterisk plagiarized it

Might actually be possible that the author got told this shit is what's popular. Saw it was dogshit, copied a bunch of things and just did it better.

The world would be better without Ass War tho

The main heroines were both redhead princesses with fire powers with protagonists that are overpowered but recognized as weak due to their inability to use magic properly.

Picking 2019's Top 10 anime of the year is both really easy, and then really hard.

Like, my wife and I have an easy Top 7-8, but then after that it becomes a swamp of "That was like an 8.5, but so was 20 other anime this season.... oiy" type discussion.

Well Stella is actually quite proficient. We quickly learn what she had to go through to become as strong as her, so do we with Ikki, fairly early on. You understand the kind of social scrutiny they're constantly under and either of them heavily relating to the other's situation. That's why they fall in love, especially since both of them came to the same solution of training so hard to the point where they could overcome people bringing them down. Ikki didn't make light of her effort and recognized it while everybody else just thought Stella was naturally gifted.

But lol Ass War is like, yeah this guy's just really strong but for some reason he's just not recognized. The girl is actually really strong too. She trained or whatever, and they're just the 2 strongest people in the school already. *Zooms around like crazy* MC: Alright, it's time to pull power out of my ass. *Battle over*

In comparison Ikki gets fucking worked by his first tournament opponent til Stella breaks him out of his funk, and even in their battle, there was a lot of analyzing each other's strengths. Stella having to rely on her natural powers even though she wanted to prove that she could beat anybody without having to rely on her powers, and Ikki physically incapable of beating Stella without relying on a short few second window of power he can pretty much only use once per day. They all have limitations and understand their match up, that if Stella was more prepared, it's implied she would've also beaten Ikki pretty easily.

Sure both series are tired concept but calling them copies of one another is a serious misunderstanding of the absolute basics of storytelling. Like one has motives and logical progression, the other just literally had an AI produce a story for him with all the same elements as series that succeeded b4

Also pretty much the only non-romance focused story where the characters get together shortly after the series starts

One of the videos you posted for it a thread or two back looked interesting. It's about animal people but they don't just hand-wave the carnivore/herbivore dilemma away right? What's the general story about?

Hmm I don't think I got to the ending, I do remember Luffy getting his shadow stolen and Perona. I think I'll start reading again, the character designs are really comfy.

I've actually been wanting to watch some of the old Cutey Honey OVA's, so I'd probably nominate those if we went through with this.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/2497/Shin_Cutey_Honey
https://myanimelist.net/anime/151/Re__Cutey_Honey

I think the original Cutey Honey anime from way back in 1973 would be too dated for me to enjoy, and sadly, I'm pretty sure the Cutey Honey Flash anime from 1997 was never fully fansubbed. EDIT: Never mind, I just checked again and a fully subbed upload of Flash came literally just last month.

I didn't think it was amazing or a classic like I've heard people say, but it wasn't bad either. I'd give all of the seasons like a 7 or 7.5 out of 10.
