Never heard of it.

I know a lot of people are really pissed off that they picked up Black Rock Shooter, though.

People who liked it and and don't want anything to do with Disney+.

It seems the idea of Disney+ getting into anime at all is making some people mad.

I literally have no idea what it is and only checked it out because it was WIT even though it didn't seem interesting in the slightest, but that first episode of Ranking of Kings was wild good. All I'm gonna say about that.

So I finally started Higurashi Sotsu. I guess this is like, Stupid Higurashi? Probably worse than Kira so far (5 episodes in).

Worse than Kira sounds like quite an accomplishment since that felt like pointless filler at best

Sotsu definitely stumbled it's way to a ridiculous finish line, but I will never forget that second to last episode as long as I live.

Production wise it was solid, though, and I have faith that Passion could pull off a decent Umineko with the right episode count.

In a perfect world, there would be variation in terms of length, but I'd say you average out to a full cour per season. So 96-104 episodes.

But my actual realistic expectation is two 2-cour seasons. So 48-52.

I'd say at most 0 episodes would probably be best for Umineko.

The original Umineko adaptation was 26 episodes for the first four chapters, so I doubt 52 would be enough! Of course, part of the reason it failed was because the adaptation was incompetent, but it definitely felt rushed most of the time.

Please I just need Deenineko to be overwritten.

I'll even take passable.

I think it can be done...just not by them.

Just need a director who knows how to appropriately adapt while keeping the core.

Probably too high an ask, though.

I'll admit that it's HARDER than adapting Higurashi was. Higurashi anime was not as good as the VN, but it was totally fine and for non readers even exception, based on most opinions I've heard.

But Higurashi was much easier to trim. Obviously you dont have to translate all the school games, and can make what you do translate much shorter (honestly the excess that some of these sections went on for in the VN, while not miserable, definitely held it back for me. I don't feel like their length was necessary to make them impactful to think back on for later content). A lot of the descriptive violence and implied inner thoughts can be represented much faster in an anime than a VN.

However Umineko... kind of needs a few episodes entirely devoted to standing around delivering exposition? There's a MUCH more significant chunk of content that does not lend itself to anime as a medium very well and cannot be removed.

So yeah it's going to be rough if they do it, but hopefully they can come out of it better than... Deen...

Ciconia will likely make a great anime, though!

Saw something called Joker's Game while at a convention this weekend. I got slight Kingsman vibes from it. May check that out in full once Goblin Slayer is done.

Jokers game is pretty good, I think it got mostly ignored.

If you're looking for stuff with that "aura", 91 Days is another major fav of mine.

Also Baccano is one of the best anime ever made...can't assume everyone has seen it even if it's popular here.

Yes. It wasn't super spectacular or anything, but it was quite good and one of the better things to air that year for sure.

uhh saying a show is better than most things that aired in a year is not saying much

there are 100% like at least 20 shows that aired in 2016 that are better than joker game.

Like the aforementioned 91 days (which is a great show) aired the same year.

I would have to look at the year! I assume I must have submitted a list for the B8 Anime Awards that year if we did it. Not on this account, though, so that's probably gone forever.

Joker's Game is pretty reliant in your interest in the aesthetic. That dry mostly humorless setting can be pretty enjoyable in a mood. Is it, like, actually a masterpiece? Naw, if you don't dig this kind of thing it may even seem down right unwatchable. But I liked it.

91 Days definitely has a lot more going on and to latch onto, though, no doubt.

After finishing Sotsu, I can say with confidence that it's worse than the Umineko anime. What an absolute trash fire. Easily one of the worst anime of all time. Passione wouldn't make a better Umineko

The message in Tatariakashi that children who accuse their guardians of abuse are probably lying for attention was absolutely vile beyond simply being a bad anime.

Dammit. I met his brother Greg at a con over the weekend. His words were, "I'm a little off lately, because I need to be there for Chris when I get home."

Fuck me. Chris Ayers was damn good, but sounded like he was in bad health for several years. This sucks.

Narrowing down Fall.

Ranking of Kings, Heiki, Takt Op, and The Faraway Paladin staying. That's the priority order too.

Sakugan on a wait and see....the little girl is so annoying, see what they're doing but taking it too far it seems.

Everything else is a drop for now.
