NEW MISSION: Become an adorable girls with guns person. I'm pretty sure at least one of these shows even has a sweet ARMS OP/ED.
It seems to strike my fancy. Not that I know how my fancy works, but, yeah.
It does have a little bit of an exotic feel to it so the English dub doesn't feel quite right. But nor does the Japanese dub, since it takes place in what seems to be a Mesoamerican region of some sort. Is there a Spanish dub...?
Unfortunately the two episodes it has are far from enough to tell a complete story. It just sorta ends on a cliffhanger.
Seems a little similar to the Fire Emblem anime. Also two episodes produced, also seemed to be bound for a greater plot but the rest never materialized. Fire Emblem was pretty good. Aseria is at least okay, though doesn't seem like anything particularly special in its current state. Even the animation seems kinda 90s-ish, despite its being made in the 00s (the Fire Emblem OVA was made in 1997).
Aseria has a lot of potentially interesting setting and plot hooks, as it is. Unfortunately, they're not really developed.
On the "bright" side, the plot now sort of fits the excessively edgy aesthetic.
I'm guessing this is when Gen was writing the episodes?
* "Omoi wo Kanadete", Uta~Kata OP
* "Forever", Elemental Gelade OP
* "Hikari no Yukue", El Cazador de la Bruja OP
Why does that voice sound less fitting in that third song than in the others?
"Shh! Those are crazy people."
K-On still remains the most boring show I've ever sat though. And yet I forced myself to sit though all 30 something episodes...
In all seriousness though if any studio has proved that you don't have to like everything they've done, it's KyoAni.
Also I'd like to think a studio resonating with you (like me with BONES) can be based on a lot of weird things but one of them definitely has to be selective blindness.
Despite Love Live! 2nd Season (which I haven't seen yet) I refuse to believe that Sunrise doesn't have some curse on them that doesn't let them make
greateven near decent sequels.Please stop playing accidental pervert scenes for comedy. Just leave them alone, or give enough time to establish character significance and then move on.
Thank you,

Also I'm mostly posting just so it doesn't seem like you post more in here than I do, maintaining my reputation and all.
Now to discuss actual anime, I'm pretty sure Gundam Build Fighters TRY Episode 20 tried to imply that using laser capes while Gunpla battling isn't okay (because a villain was doing it) but using a magic system that you couldn't create yourself (because you are the protagonist) that creates particle ghost versions of you is totally fine because they also use fists. Also only use fists when fighting with Gundams or something.
Also for a show about teams I'm pretty sure 2/3rds of the protagonists have had like... four lines more than even the least important side-characters for the last six episodes.
To give it some credit, I actually thought the episode was attempting to have an actual discussion about strength and that it's message about being generally strong being worse than your own strength was commendable, I just like... couldn't actually glean that from the characters because even without every danged person in the arena cheering for the protagonist and treating the other guy like he was the most horrid thing (for going out and learning things and trying to become stronger and building his own danged Gundam*!) thereby annoying me too much to focus I'm pretty sure it was overall poorly established.
I feel like the head writer just... really loves the protagonist and doesn't ever want him to be put down or something which kind of sucks because that means this season we've seen zero fun Gundam style things because the protagonist uses fisticuffs and then proceeds to beat lasers because apparently martial arts are better than Gundams with fifty guns which is a terrible message considering what they are trying to sell.
*Yes, none of the protagonists built the Gundam they keep winning against people who built their own Gundams with, yet when people who weren't the protagonists did this like nine episodes ago they were bad, bad people.
I really considered dropping it around the start of this episode, but I'm in too deep at this point and that somebody on the writing team actually has their stuff together and writes decent dialogue (That Driver's License thing was gold).
Look, I'm sorry about last year but I'm just one weeb, I can't afford Kekkai Sensen BDs and UtaPri CDs and whatever I have to buy that involves SHOW BY ROCK too next cour ;-;
New Aikatsu! characters.
Yes that is a pink-haired twintailed Madoka.
Tried Saekano, it is actually enjoyable but episode 00 really overdid the fanservice and that put me off it so I basically spent all of episode 1 trying to find flaws with it and there were plenty enough. I liked the protagonist and main girl and the one who isn't Senjougahara and the blond twintailed tsuntsun one but I feel like musical Kanbaru who isn't gay was just going to be a downer overall because she lacks any of Kanbaru's assets aside from the exact same character design and general demeanor and is the most boring.
Also it's probably a bad thing that the presumably meta hipster referentialism of it all (Protagonist has all the SAO figures, a ViviOpe one and such) makes me just want to watch shows that are set in their own worlds, I think this is mostly because it's supposed to be about making a doujin but instead of referring to other shows it does this weird thing that just has the characters talk about how much they like the other shows.
I really did enjoy it but I feel like the characters have somehow taken second place to that concept and after the first episode the only one left to introduce is not Kanbaru and they only discussed the most bare bones version of their doujin throughout both episodes and outside of it being how the protagonist meets main girl I have no idea what the game is supposed to be about so I can't exactly care if they finish it or not.
Gonna try Sengoku Musou next because I'll never get over missing the Sengoku Basara anime but that is way too long to try.
