Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen Ep 8

SeijiSensei · 2020-11-25, 10:41

I don't think this thread will go far. I watch fewer shows than the average fan, and I'm still at around five the season. The last anime I watched depends on the day of the week.

0cean · 2020-11-25, 11:57

Watched watched or watched finished? Last one I finished was Dorohedoro or what it's called, last one I watched an episode of was Cobra, the one from the 1980s.

My Hero Academia, Season 4.

The first part (Eri's rescue) was okayish, but I felt it was dragged too long. Everything that followed after Eri's rescue was pointless, with the only exception of Endeavor vs Nomu.

I don't even know I keep watching this trainwreck. From the manga spoilers I read, it's about to get even worse.

Barefoot Gen 1983 8/10 - Though the animation is poor, it's hard to find a stronger antiwar statement than the one sent by this anime. I think the surrealistic and impactful way the eyes of the victims melt during the Hiroshima nuclear explosion has remained as a memorable stamp thru ought cinematography in the last almost 4 decades since it's release.

It's similar to When the Wind Blows from '86, that I've seen last year, a similar movie only based on the premise that a nuclear bomb would be released over country side England, where a couple of naive old people live just at the edge of the blast.

Just rewatched The Promised Neverland. Was 10/10 when I watched it during simulcast and it's still 10/10. Truly the spiritual successor to Death Note.

I think L would have liked Norman.

Johnny Dy · 2021-01-04, 02:08

I was thinking on posting Barefoot Gen on 10/10 anime, you definitely should have yours. But in my case, it was a rather unorthodox anime and a movie, not a series so I thought it's better posted here.

If Vinland Saga is a 10/10, then so is Barefoot Gen, just saying!

Is Abridged considered anime? Because YGOTAS 11/10 by Little Kuriboh, with reaction 12/10, unbelievable man... you laugh your ass off, and then you laugh some more! Here you got, ep. 59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21I6_pPwJ9s Just saying...

Abridged Naruto, again by Little Kuriboh with reaction 10/10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ariy3wXbrN8 Little Kuriboh should be banned, he could kill people! You could die laughing, seriously! Forget stand up, this guy is insane: just listen to that intro with Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura singing! roflmao

I've finally started Girls' Last Tour - I've seen the 1st 4 eps, and I like it. They are cute explorers in a world not worth exploring, but when there's no choice... I have a feeling it will end badly and I'm not up for heart breaking shit these days. I just hope they'll be good in the end.

It's a solid 8 for now, even if it's pretty repetitive, but your mind is gradually escalating, you ask yourself: it's impossible to just find more buildings after buildings and then more buildings, it will end at some point. But then what!? D: The scenery is grey and well detailed for a deserted post-war advanced society. I wonder how those people can draw so much detail, for so little events. I thread carefully into the 5th...

@: I know comparing anime is dangerous grounds but for me Girl's Last Tour is obviously superior to say the likes of Date a Live in which all are jumping all over the place doing supernatural shit for made up reasons, most people are fed up with. Here we got just 2 fragile little beings in a desolate, combusted, burned out and dull world, that almost feels real. A world from which silent nightmares are made of! Almost nothing happens and it's still much better than superficial laser-magic shit with stupid people that do it all around, anime after anime, that you just don't buy anymore. I dropped Date a Live after 10 episodes, and I don't have any remorse about it, I don't feel like I might have missed anything of any importance.

LE: Girls' Last Tour 8/10 - Finished it a couple of days ago. It's a good anime, even if some people hate it.

Spoiler:

, so I don't recommend it for those who don't like to read the manga, because the anime doesn't finish anything. I already opened up the next chapter for the reading. It's stupid to finish an anime just short of the last few most interesting chapters, thinking I'm gonna buy the manga after I just pirated the anime! Duh...

Paprika 2006 8/10 - It's an animated movie. I recommend it because it has some cool visuals and nice ideas for the mind to sift trough. Paprika is the girl who can run through and control large parts of dreams. If Morpheus aka. The Sandman aka. Dream is the Lord of Dreams in the DC world, Paprika would be his Lady of Dreams. This (approximative) quote describes well this show "You used fantasy to create reality.", which is true because the person we're talking here is a detective that imagined he's a cop creating stories when he was young, and he did become a cop eventually, so from fantasy he "created" his job. We should never think fantasy can not be real!

PS: For the curious The Sandman - Dream of The Endless

I've listened to it, 1st 4 chapters are good, especially chapter 4 which is great, when Dream/The Sandman in a weakened state confronts Hell all by himself, I've listened to it twice. The voice acting is movie-like, so great. If James McAvoy plays Dream, that's all you need to know! I recommend even if just chapter 4 to be listened to, it's a delight! But for that you need a short introduction:

I'm gonna start today Karakuri Circus (2018), I hear it's very good. Let's see if that's true.

Meanwhile, I've seen Perfect Blue 1997 8/10 - An anime movie. A psychological thriller this one. Pretty rare thing for an anime. You can't figure out much until the very end, so it served it's purpose well.

Only the last two volumes of the manga were not adapted to anime for Girls' Last Tour.

I rarely read manga, but I picked up these to see how the story ends. Worth the investment.

They end up in an old art museum which inspires Chito to try her hand at portraiture:

I liked Genesis more than Virgin Soul and rather wished they had devoted 24 episodes to the former and 12 to the latter.

I finished it this weekend, all 36 eps. of it. Karakuri Circus 2018 8/10 - Now, this is a good anime, even though the 1st half of it is more like a 7/10 because it's a bit sophisticated but also dumb. The main blue haired, blue-eyed young woman protagonist is seen everywhere, like there's 3 or 4 of them and you just don't know why! There was even one episode where I FF through most of it, but then, as you go past the middle and into the 2nd part of the anime, it's worth the wait.

Everything clears up and goes right there with the best of them - a 9/10 - classic japonese well-drawn shounen drama, that has even some inspired writing, especially dialogue-wise. I always considered anime lacking in dialogue quality but not in the 2nd part of this one! You get nice graphics, decent fights, more than one tear upon occasion, overall it's good enough to be recommended. So recommended.

How can one cry for flesh grinding, blood sucking automatons/machines? They start out so disgusting, cold and idiotic, but finish out being just as sorrowful and keen for embetterment as any human; just like children given the wrong education/programming.

Children of the Sea - I wanted to see this movie for over a year now because the animation for this movie looks amazing. Seeing that this movie is now on Netflix (As of 3/1/2021), I can finally watch it. Unfortunately, I could not get into this movie at all. Children of the Sea aka The Sea Monster's Children is a very beautiful movie, but the lackluster story ruined it for me. The animation is breath-taking with many scenes of animation that made my jaw drop. Almost every scene in this movie feels like they belong in a Museum in my opinion. The large amount of detail that they put into this movie is fantastic because the animals look like they are ripped straight from a Zoo Book. Another good thing about Children of the Sea is the music from Joe Hisaishi (Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind). The music in this movie is wonderful to listen too and every bit of music fits so well with the beautiful animation.

Too bad, the story did nothing for me. I didn't find any of the characters to be memorable or interesting at all in my opinion. The story was all over the place and the third act of the movie left me confused about what just happened. Children of the Sea tries to add some mystery and build-up to the story, but I feel like there's barely any explanation to anything on what was going on. The pacing is my least favorite thing about this movie because it moves so slow. 30 minutes of this movie felt like one hour. Children of the Sea is almost 2 hours long and you can feel the long length when watching this movie. I almost wanted to press fast forward during the boring scenes of this movie, but I don't like doing that (It feels disrespectful to me).

Even though I didn't like this movie, I still give an A for effort because the movie is very well made. You can tell that they put a lot of love when making this movie. I still recommend Children of the Sea if you are curious because you will probably like this movie more than I did. Rating: 6.5/10

Gundam 00 8.5/10 - Sure was the best gundam ever made like the rumors entail, but I sure didn't like how people's lives were treated here, it feels dreadful to see them blow up in tin cans, no matter how advanced tin cans they might be. I much prefer face to face fight anime where people can look at each other's faces before they slice and dice themselves to kingdom come. Overall this anime offers cool graphics, cool story, cool gadgets, etc., but even if I admit it's the best gundam, still for me, my favorite gundam arc is the 1st season of Gundam Seed where Kira being a coordinator desperately defends all by himself a ship full of normal humans who hate his guts, against another 4 coordinators whose only purpose is to blow them up! "Kira: Hello, just won another desperate fight 4 against 1, defeating my people, my own race just to keep everyone alive for another few days! No biggie. Random passenger: Fuck you, damn coordinator!" You just can't top that. ^^' This anime is grim and salty, I can recommend it only if you like mecha anime, even so it's just half mecha, mostly just armored suit fights. PS: Don't forget to watch the movie too, it continues the story.

Kingdom 9/10 - Now this is an anime mostly anyone should watch. I wanted to watch if years ago but couldn't find it on the net, and just got my chance several days ago. The action is 2-3 thousand years before Christ. I am middle through the 2nd season and I can say without a doubt that it's the best war anime I have ever seen. I don't mean karate or kung fu or boxing or alien vs human fights, I mean pure, somewhat realistic, bloody, shitty, gritty, ugly, sick and fucked up war. They pretty much combined historical fact (if we can call history fact) with old strategy of war trying to portray nearly everything one could think of about it. What I personally like is how they emphasise the importance of generals and leading figures, how one of them can inspire a pack of soldiers to become monsters if he's confident and strong or in the opposite manner, one can drop the morale of thousands who can barely still hold their weapons if he's defeated on the battlefront. Now this anime I absolutely recommend, it's about a 9.5/10 if it wasn't for the occasional CGI they insert for the purpose of leisuring their work days, but most of it, like 80% is pure drawn anime, just 20% is CGI, but enough to drop half a point. Still this anime is highly recommended. The way people die here feels way more comfortable than in Gundam 00. It's leagues and bounds over the likes of Vinland Saga, no contest.

Johnny Dy · 2021-04-06, 14:31

Indeedly-did-they-do!

I've seen s04 of My Hero Academia 8.5/10, doesn't let down, finishes nice. Whateva'. Let's get down to serious business!

The Rising of the Shield Hero 9/10 - I've just seen 21 episodes out of the 25 total in 2 days, and were it not for work, I would have seen it all in one day! Where do I begin? Let's see... I've never heard of this anime from anyone, I just scouted the net, IMDB just suggested me this one, I trusted the high mark and boy was I rewarded! It's fucking awesome! It's a sort of Sword Art Online or Logg Horizon, an RPG in any case combined with elements from Black Clover and with a drop of Berserk and a sent of lovey-dovey, not too much, not too little, just enough to make it perfect. The action is good, the story is awesome. It captivates you from the double sized 1st episode and boy do you live alongside the main character! I never thought such simple and somewhat predictable scenes could get me so entangled but they do, because it's the most realistic RPG simulator anime ever made, for me. You're not even sure it's a game were it not for the stats shown for people and weapons.

The anime itself is good enough in it's most dull parts but when it comes to the turns and twists, it's a blast! And it's not your classical turns and twists like out of a sudden somebody discovers a superpower or a superability and blows everything away like most anime, this one it's just about people being cunts with the lot they have or being good with the little they have. And it tells you there's a limit to any real human being, on how much one can take before breaking (it's not much). The sheer reality of how it's shown here is absolutely staggering. It's not exaggerated, not one bit, it's as real as it gets. I absolutely loved how the author filled you in such details. Episode 21 was by far one of the best episodes I've seen of late, probably since Demon Slayer, I will copy it into my phone and watch it when I want to feel something good, I could even read the manga for more detailed face-work as it's priceless. ABSOLUTE DREADFUL SPOILER, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EP 21 YET

Spoiler:

With other words, I couldn't recommend this anime more! Absolute must! Most of the time it has relatively average stuff, only very well described, that's why I'm not giving it a 10/10, as it doesn't blow your mind, but it does blow your heart a little. I'm revizing my top 10 ever on it's account, it might just make it! :yes:

PS: I see they're getting ready a 2nd season for this year! That would be just what the doctor ordered!

You just can't top that. ^^' This anime is grim and salty, I can recommend it only if you like mecha anime, even so it's just half mecha, mostly just armored suit fights. PS: Don't forget to watch the movie too, it continues the story. Kingdom 9/10 - Now this is an anime mostly anyone should watch. I wanted to watch if years ago but couldn't find it on the net, and just got my chance several days ago. The action is 2-3 thousand years before Christ. I am middle through the 2nd season and I can say without a doubt that it's the best war anime I have ever seen. I don't mean karate or kung fu or boxing or alien vs human fights, I mean pure, somewhat realistic, bloody, shitty, gritty, ugly, sick and fucked up war. They pretty much combined historical fact (if we can call history fact) with old strategy of war trying to portray nearly everything one could think of about it. What I personally like is how they emphasise the importance of generals and leading figures, how one of them can inspire a pack of soldiers to become monsters if he's confident and strong or in the opposite manner, one can drop the morale of thousands who can barely still hold their weapons if he's defeated on the battlefront. Now this anime I absolutely recommend, it's about a 9.5/10 if it wasn't for the occasional CGI they insert for the purpose of leisuring their work days, but most of it, like 80% is pure drawn anime, just 20% is CGI, but enough to drop half a point. Still this anime is highly recommended. The way people die here feels way more comfortable than in Gundam 00. It's leagues and bounds over the likes of Vinland Saga, no contest. __________________ I don't really go for this type of oppression: hours in a day when you mustn't air something.

The Rising of the Shield Hero 9/10 - I've just seen 21 episodes out of the 25 total in 2 days, and were it not for work, I would have seen it all in one day! Where do I begin? Let's see... I've never heard of this anime from anyone, I just scouted the net, IMDB just suggested me this one, I trusted the high mark and boy was I rewarded! It's fucking awesome! It's a sort of Sword Art Online or Logg Horizon, an RPG in any case combined with elements from Black Clover and with a drop of Berserk and a sent of lovey-dovey, not too much, not too little, just enough to make it perfect. The action is good, the story is awesome. It captivates you from the double sized 1st episode and boy do you live alongside the main character! I never thought such simple and somewhat predictable scenes could get me so entangled but they do, because it's the most realistic RPG simulator anime ever made, for me. You're not even sure it's a game were it not for the stats shown for people and weapons. The anime itself is good enough in it's most dull parts but when it comes to the turns and twists, it's a blast! And it's not your classical turns and twists like out of a sudden somebody discovers a superpower or a superability and blows everything away like most anime, this one it's just about people being cunts with the lot they have or being good with the little they have. And it tells you there's a limit to any real human being, on how much one can take before breaking (it's not much). The sheer reality of how it's shown here is absolutely staggering. It's not exaggerated, not one bit, it's as real as it gets. I absolutely loved how the author filled you in such details. Episode 21 was by far one of the best episodes I've seen of late, probably since Demon Slayer, I will copy it into my phone and watch it when I want to feel something good, I could even read the manga for more detailed face-work as it's priceless. ABSOLUTE DREADFUL SPOILER, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EP 21 YET Spoiler: The episode actually has an alternate that might be even better than the original. If our main character wouldn't have intervened, 2 sec. later we would have had one of the most epic scenes in anime most probably, the queen offering her life to our main character in exchange for her husband and daughter that wronged him terribly, shortly after she just sentenced them both to death, objectively. I think that would've made for a heart breaking moment best of the best. But the author didn't leave it out, so we get to imagine it. That aside, the trial itself was a blast, people acting like buffons unable to believe what really happened, soon after plunged into a raging spree when they detected the real culprits for their kin's demises. In the trial, there was a "tell the truth or suffer" curse/spell that was usually only used on slaves to keep them in perpetual honesty and obedience to their masters, so one couldn't lie as easy as usual! And when you put a compulsory liar under that spell, the result is nothing short of delightful stuff. Even the king that was equally sentenced to death was appalled of what his beloved daughter has done! If I could find a fault to this episode is that it was too short, I want to read the manga for maybe an even more prolonged and detailed satisfaction at the unraveling of everything! With other words, I couldn't recommend this anime more! Absolute must! Most of the time it has relatively average stuff, only very well described, that's why I'm not giving it a 10/10, as it doesn't blow your mind, but it does blow your heart a little. I'm revizing my top 10 ever on it's account, it might just make it! :yes: PS: I see they're getting ready a 2nd season for this year! That would be just what the doctor ordered! __________________ I don't really go for this type of oppression: hours in a day when you mustn't air something.
