anime

in America, you're hoping that enough normies subscribe and forget to unsub from your service they don't use

The platform that has jjk, one piece, demon slayer, etc you have cornered enough of the western market that it is debatable if adding more niche shows are even worth it

I would love the actual stats though, for seasonal shit

and the people who like those shows do not care that the site hosting them is bad

what % of people even watch seasonally at this point

it has gone up/down over time

Yeah that would be interesting to know

The database sites can't give that info because only tryhards use those

that's a thing CR could do that pirate sites wouldn't

but I don't actually have a sense for the value of a backlog versus the value of the 'hot new thing'

it used to strongly skew towards backlog, but now idk

completely unrelated

there are 3 Vtuber/YouTuber shows this season

and all of them absolutely mog that official VTuber show from a couple seasons ago

interesting

I only remember the one from the trailers we watched

Yeah, vtuber wave is coming, its been enough time that the productions on the first wave of shows are finishing

Mayonaka Punch and the Strong Zero ad

don't know the third

the only vtuber show i need is hologra

I'm watching Punch rn

the only vtuber shit that is going on my list is when I ocassionally watch the pirate girl's music videos because they get recommended to me

and loli god requiem

I like the pirate music

Pirate music is good

God I love cali's metal gear song

it is so good

She is a bottom tier vtuber because of that one song

I am also not the biggest fan of the suicide squad ED by her

its not the worst ed this season

but it is not the best

I can't think of any OPs or EDs that stand out to me as good yet

I like the deer OP

I like the beginning of it

I like the Yoasobi monogatari ED

It becomes generic near the middle

I agree with that take gent

I still like it, but the beginning part is the strongest

OH

Polu

russian ED

that one gets the takagi bump

I guess Nier OP, 2.5 dimension OP, and Russian OP and ED are good

This season has no S tier songs

yeah

the pain of no monogatari OP

I know

if monogatari OPs were a thing this season, they'd all be good

Monogatari doing a unique OP for each arc, sung by the character of that arc, is one of my favourite things the show did

I am only misising one show still, maybe last crusade S2 has a banger OP/ED

You should check out this called In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki, it features a different group of girls singing and ED for every episode when half the episode was about them. It all culminates into a grand ED where every group gets together to sing a grand song about the village.

Thats very cool, but different EDs is more common than different OPs. I will for sure check it out though!

even koyomimonogatari reused OPs and reanimated at least the nadeko one

I never noticed they reanimated the nadeko one

what did they change

removed her hat apparently

lmfao

Oh yeah, they totally did

My favourite part of this OP is they did the backwards version (visually) for her other arc and I like that song just as much

maybe one of these standalone stories is long enough to warrant two episodes and they make at least one OP

X

Fixed

Nobeta just keeps getting bigger

have they made her a VTuber yet?

that feels like a logical step

the studio said they completely finished production of that show all the way back in mid-july

which is an interesting note

Yeah they post official loli porn sometimes

for regi's image

I feel like I've seen multiple, notable artists get commissioned for official art too

its dark souls

what do you expect

for BA anime, i wrote down a... review? write-up? of the adaptation, which is my first time doing something like that, because i really do like BA. It's not really a review as much as it is me writing down the differences between the anime and game, with a couple critiques. I intended to post it here but idk if you guys (pika and polu) care, and i also thought i should wait for you to finish the show. its also way longer than i thought it would be when i started writing it.

dw, Regi and I; the only other two resident BA players here, will tell you your favorite girl is shit

I'm interested in reading it. You seem like you aren't 100% against the adaptation which is what I like when talking to people who have seen the source. I plan on watching episode 12 today.
