Oh fuck the new anime season started.
Oh fuck I'm back in England.
Oh fuck how many bloody shows are there this season?
OH FUCK I haven't made a video yet.
OAH FUCK.
I don't have any bloody tea left.
(♫: Electric Light Orchestra - Evil Woman)
Eh.
So I have questions P.A.Works.
Questions.
First, and most importantly,
Why?
(Are we like gonna have anthropomorphise washing machine anime girls next?)
Is this it?
Is this the missing link between anime and the my little pony fandom?
Is she the newest addition to the pony waifu line?
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before fans want to give her a good clopping.
You know what? This show's not that bad though.
Somehow they just gangbanged a bunch of genres together and it's entertaining.
You can tell that way more effort went into this than it probably deserved.
I mean, P.A.Works definitely weren't horsing around.
Horsing around...
Oh god, the gang's back together again.
I'm not crying, you're crying. Shut up.
Remember kids, whenever you think your hip thirteen episode modern anime romances are progressing slowly,
us Full Metal Panic fans waited 3 seasons, 49 episodes, and 13 years
just so we can cream our pants at the sight of our favourite couple
FINALLY
holding hands.
Honestly, I don't even care at this point. It's just feels good to be back.
I mean, Chidori still being tsundere?
And Test is awesome.
And Sousuke said "not a problem" and-
IT'S FULL METAL PANIC GUYS!
HEY GUYS IS THIS THE PHANTOM THIEVES MEETING?
Ryuuji shut up.
ALRIGHT, BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IF THIS MEETING WAS ABOUT THE PHANTOM THIEVES.
CAUSE WE'RE THE PHANTOM THIEVES.
BUT WE HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL BECAUSE WE CAN'T LET ANYONE KNOW WE'RE THE PHANTOM THIEVES.
Hey are you guy the Phantom Thieves?
Oh my god how did she know?
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.
How can you have one of the most visually-stylistic game ever made and translate that into
one of the flattest, uninspiring, mediocre adaptations ever made.
It's no Berserk 2017 but I won't be losing any sleep over it if you know what I mean.
OH GOD.
THEY'RE GETTING ATTACKED BY BAD CG.
Alright team, Sword Art Online has become a massive meme in the anime community,
Everyone loves to hate it.
So how do we get people back into liking Sword Art Online?
I have an idea.
How about we make a new Sword Art Online.
It'll be like Sword Art Online. We'll even call it Sword Art Online.
But get this.
We take out
the Sword Art Online.
Yea, it's good. I'm having a lot of fun with this.
I mean, what's not entertaining about seeing professional army soldiers
getting absolutely destroyed by pink loli Oddjob doing a P90 B Rush.
This will be a true test for the community though, because it will prove once and for all.
If the community really hates SAO,
or if they just hate Kirito.
Oh no.
Guys.
They're being attacked by bad CG.
Alright dude, we're doing the Fist of the North Star prequel. Can I trust you with the character designs?
(Yea sure.)
Look, I know the original series has ridiculously over-the-top muscly men
but don't go too silly okay?
(Yea yea I got it. Don't worry about it.)
Yes.
Yes!
YES!
And out of nowhere we have a classic boxing manga being reimagined into one of the hypest shows this season.
It's like if Hajime no Ippo fucked Cowboy Bepop with the Samurai Champloo flavoured soundtrack.
It's got so much style.
So much character.
You take one look at any frame and it just immediately stands out from anything else coming out.
The only thing I have to mention is that these gears make absolutely no sense.
I mean, what's the point of them.
Actual boxers can already seriously damage their opponent today.
So I can only imagine guys being absolutely decapitated with these.
It's a huge health and safely risk.
I don't even know how boxing gloves would help with the force-
Shh
(Nobody gives a fuck.)
Speaking of old shows getting reimagined into the morern day,
We have the absolutely classic,
final boss of anime.
Now, as someone who has yet to see the original, it's been entertaining so far.
Even though I feel like I'm missing a lot of the character screen time in favour of better space battles.
But I'm looking forward to see how the new takes on these characters stand-
OH FUCK HE'S ENTERING THE ZONE.
Oh no.
Guys.
He's being attacked by bad CG.
You know, I'm a little disappointed because I've heard good things about the manga
and this seems like a pretty decent historical setting that definitely stands out compared to the norm.
But god.
Some of the visual direction is just-
Wait is that just a green screen fire effect?
That is a green screen fire effect. I can do that.
This is fine.
Oh no.
Guys.
Bad CG is being attacked by bad CG.
You know what, there are so many fucking shows this season. I need a quick fire round to get through some of these.
I'm not a fan of this new opening.
YES, I FUCKING SAID IT.
Song, yes.
Animation, yes.
Song and animation together, it's like a badly timed AMV.
Oh fuck the anime's in the central arc now.
I hope anime watchers are ready for Shokugeki's equivalent of the Forth Ninja War arc.
Two closet otakus walk into a bar,
they ended dating each other because they know they hate getting any action from anywhere else.
Alright, I get it.
It's magical girls but they transform into big burly men and is called Mahou Shoujo Ore
because "Ore" is the male pronoun for "me" but em..
WHY DID THEY MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CALL THIS MAHOU JOJO?
Guys.
Guys!
That's not how walking works.
You are sorely lacking in forward momentum.
You know my issue with edgy plot concepts like magic bracelets that induce mind control is that,
I'm pretty sure these are just hentai plots
without the hentai in it.
Well it was only a matter of time before we got a Gundam Isekai.
It's a great show but if they're getting trapped in the game, I'm done.
Okay, that's it.
What?
God this is cute.
We got no shortage of romances this seasons I'll tell you that.
And between this and Wotakoi, I'm having a hard time picking.
But fuck, I am loving the Nozaki-kun vibes I'm getting from this one.
Tokyo Ghoul re:?
More like
Tokyo Ghoul re:ad the fucking manga am I right?
No, seriously. What's going on?
Where are all the characters?
Why is Kaneki in this dude?
Does this take place after the manga or after the anime?
Is Touka still running?
No!
She stopped.
I'm so happy for her.
You know what, I'm just pissed all the work I put into Tokyo Ghoul in minutes is now effective irrelevant to everything going on in here.
[What? That makes no sense.]
[Probably does in the manga]
Actually no, I take that back.
And now.
Oooh look at this, who did this?
Fuck, Studio Feel? You've come a long way from people getting pissed on in Kiss x Sis.
Honestly this looks way better than it has than it has any right to be for a comedy series.
And the comedic timing is absolutely on point.
So, loli psycho 100 better be on you watch list this season.
Now this show looks pretty edgy.
I wonder how much edge they can fit-
OH GOD THAT'S A LOT OF EDGE.
I know I should feel bad for this girl
but when the series is throwing so many scenes with just empty shock factor,
in my head I'm just playing a bit of Edge Bingo.
Yes today on Edge Bingo we're starting off with bullying,
do I see bullying?
Oh let's add some domestic abuse.
Rape scene? Yup we have the classic rape scene.
Suicidal thoughts, who cant forget that?
Oh and let's top it off with some over-the-top gore.
(Bingo! I got Bingo!)
Congratulations your prize today is
crippling depression.
Speaking of crippling depression, are we really ready for another season of
Honestly though, it's looking pretty good.
Like really good actually. I don't really have any problems-
Now if anyone's confused as how this connects to the original series, well-
How can I abridge this? So,
Okabe transformed from mad scientist
to sad scientist.
And from what I gathered, it's a sequel to an alternative ending to the first season.
And if you're confused about what that means,
it's a timeline where Okabe failed to save Kurisu and what happens to Kurisu is that
Okabe, I don't feel so good...
Yeah I think that's the best way to exlpain it.
What?
