The New Release Club's General discussion

High School DxD Born first episode, I THANK GOD THAT IT HAS NO CENSORS, unlike Shinmai Maou

 

One of these days maybe, but not now

 

Well I decided to watch Seraph of the End partly because I had checked out the first chapter before. Anyone else watching this? It seems like an interesting series and might prove darker than what I'm used to if the first episode is any indication.

 

Gave The Disappearance of Yuki-chan a try today. First episode wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. I was on the fence about the series before the first episode and I still am.

 

@Sir-Maddy Seen Vivid yet? What did you think? I personally cannot stand the fact Midchilda suddenly looks like Earth besides the extra moons. Didn't it look like a super tech city during StrikerS? Why do the traffic signals and cars all look exactly like Earth!?! They could just replace the world Midchilda with Earth and you wouldn't know the difference! Why take the cool super tech city and reduce it to Earth with a magic academy? It doesn't have to look completely alien but they could at least try to not make it look exactly like Earth!

 

Literately only 5 seconds ago. It was quite an average episode and I'm buttmad they introduced every character EXCEPT Teana and Subaru. Also keep in mind quite a bit of that city got destroyed during StrikerS once the cyborgs came to play.

 

All in good time girl, all in good time

 

and why would that send the city back to what is basically the stone age for them? Plus the city wasn't THAT destroyed! It feels more like the animators or even the manga artist just didn't feel like trying to imagine a future city in detail so they just went with modern city and hoped no one would notice. In the end I'll get over it but for now I'm beyond frustrated by it for some reason.

 

I honestly thought you'd be more mad about the designs considering it went to a new studio.

Supposedly they appear next episode in Tea's apartment.

Also:
Long hair Tea >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Twintails Tea

 

Why would it, they look fine. In fact some of them look a bit better and sharper than in StrikerS plus it's been so long since I last saw it I barely remember what they looked like before anyway. I had to look stuff up on the wiki to remember who some of the characters even were. Remember Log Horison 2? It can take a little while to get use to but I can adapt to changes in animation style as long as the essence remains the same. Meaning as long as the designs don't outright chance like a character looking completely different for no damn reason or in this case a tech city turning into modern city. But just a style change I'm okay with especially since it can't really be helped after such a large time gap between series.

 

"Red haired girl turning blue"
Wait what?

Also, I'm currently looking at the StrikerS BDs and it seems to me that it was always modern.

 

That was just a hypothetical example. I changed it already. Like say if the Red haired girl had shown up with blue or purple hair for no reason or looked like a completely different person yet everyone acts like they always looked like that. That would annoy me but a style change isn't much of an issue for me.

BD? could you show a screen shot or something?

 

Actually if Nove appeared with blue hair she'd look like Subaru.

Oh yeah I guess you don't know, all of the Nanoha series got BD re-releases. I can't post a screen shot right now but just watch the "White Devil Incident" on episode 8 which is towards the end.

I watched episode 9 of StrikerS afterwards and never realised that when Teana wakes up after getting shot, she blushes at the fact she isn't wearing pants. How did I never notice that.

 

I gotta agree the designs are shit to look at plus it feels like a shitty romcom (oh wait, cause it is a shitty romcom).

Edit: @Supernatural-Knight did you watch the Anime Mirai shows?

 

Do you know it has 2nd season already announced? Imma give it a chance too

 

Yep I've also heard some people trying to call this the next Attack of Titain but I highly doubt that.

 

Hibike aired. Anyone else hyped beside me?

 

I watched it but it's nothing to ride home about at the moment, but the MC is refreshing from other FeMC from KyoAni.

Started up Re-Kan! today, holy shit that was so funny but I have no idea why it was so funny.
