Oh my fucking God thank you for speaking about Gate

Gate is amazingly bad holy shit

I know from the Mahouka thread that some people have a disturbingly high tolerance for ultranationalist far-right antics being shoved in our faces like a chloroform-soaked rag but holy shit Gate puts Mahouka to shame in how ultra right wing it is.

Like, literally, it's about how eeeeeeeeevil China is and why Japan should get a real army so they can defend Glorious Nippon from eeeeeeeeeeeevil China and it doesn't matter because Japan's shitty not really an army can beat USA, Russia and China.

Protip: If the JSDF got in a fight with the Chinese Army, Japan would be reduced to sucking their collective wang in a quarter of a picosecond. This ain't Imperial Japan, chaps.

If you think this is okay don't even bother defending it because I am silently judging you.

I've just looked into reviews of Gate... and you are absolutely right. I mean, Christ, it's so far right in its political stance that it makes fans of Lazio (an Italian soccer club notorious for their Nazi-sympathetic views) blush. Seriously, I think we all know how the last time Japan was taken over by fascists like Gate's author went (read: not pretty for anyone in Asia, especially Japan).

I was going to try it, but the author of the light novel makes me sick so I'm not going to bother with it now.

[nja] By the way, those lame character names really don't help the series' case. Seriously? Pino Co Lada?! Please tell me you made that name up...

Since that I don't have much time to watch anime nowadays, I might pick up Joukamachi No Dandelion and Venus Project when they airs.

[up]In what parallel universe does Gate have "terse" politics and not laughably one sided nationalist wanking tripe?

…You know, watching the preview of Bikini Warriors, I'm led to wonder what kind of decision process leads to select which animes are greenlit and which aren't. To decide that this is getting money to be made of all things.

I keep wondering where the hell did that guy get his hands on Danchigai, considering the manga seems to not exist. My through and rigourous research (read: Google searches and Mangaupdates lookups) has failed to produce scanlations or raws of the manga.

RC tends to gloss over the more controversial aspects of what they preview. Makes for sort of a counterpoint to a lot of other previews

Most often the bulk of the money comes from whoever owns the property

Sometimes they actually buy physical copies

My watches for the season:

Symphogear GX

Gangsta

God Eater anime

More Shokugeki No Soma

Dragon Ball Super

And for lols, Bikini Warriors (the producers did say that they aren't going for deep story and being honest about being all about the tits, they get credit for that).

Gangsta- Pretty awesome, will be watching.

Laplace-I like the style it has and I am fairly intrigued which is pretty much the point of a mystery so for now I'm watching.

#115: Jul 2nd 2015 at 5:15:21 PM

Gangsta. is another one of those series that're good but not really the sort of thing I enjoy. Hell of an OP, though

Ranpo Kitan: Lots of style (possibly too much), lots of gay. Not entirely impressed, but I'll probably give it a second episode

whoever is subbing Chaos Dragon and Aquarion Logos is taking fucking forever. Is it funimation? They always take forever to sub everything ever.

yeah they're the most consistent after the first week but the least the first week xD.

Honestly though, while speed is important quality subs involving anime fandom are so rare that I am willing to overlook a little bit of lateness so long as I can get a sub that actually gives every character pretty decently written dialog.

The main protag is also explicitly drawn like a chick, nobody comments on how imperial investigator guy thinks that the artistic dismemberment is fun and everyone is a grey blob until introduced but the actual character designs still look terribad so they must not have had much of a budget to begin with.

Sufficed to say i'm not feeding more of my time to this series. The trainwreck has already crashed screeching and smoking through the station, headed straight for the cliff DRAM Atical Murder ran off last year.

es for Gate, wow that was an average first half of an episode, I see they're taking a week long commercial break. cool

But for real though, not great, not terrible just not much in the episode to make a serious judgment.

Ranpo Kitan: The content and the main character and the teen detective and probably the new teacher are pretty disturbing, but I'll probably give it another shot next week (not like it's gonna get any less creepy). I highly doubt I'll watch the whole thing through. And yeah, having a round face and a female voice actor is one thing, but this child also has a woman's hips and rear and I wonder if this is a plot point or simply an aesthetic choice. More importantly his personality is really, really troubling. You have a boyfriend, please stop hanging out with drug addicts and looking at dead bodies (interspersed with doing something randomly kawaii). Oh well, middle school is a rough time for many youths.

Anywho, Gatchaman Crowds Insight is a thing and Non Non Biyori Repeat is coming. Non Non Biyori is love. Non Non Biyori is life.

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.
