Zombieland Saga.

Yoooo I'm checking this out now 

[Jman]

The fact that it has nothing to do with Zombieland makes it a 0/10.  Where’s anime Woody Harrelson?

Edit - Nevermind.  This suddenly became AMAZING.

im with it.

i wish it couldve been something else besides an idol group cause ive seen that before but im still down for now.

[naraku360]

I like the not-Houoin Kyouma guy.

[Daos]

Underdog hit of the season calling it now.

[Blatch]

It's not really an "underdog" hit because I'm seeing quite a few people talk about it on my... actually, nevermind. Let's see what the MAL score is like in a few months.

[Chapinator_X]

Just caught up with it yesterday ands it’s already my favorite comedy this season

[Blatch]

Man, who knew that an anime with fucking zombie idols could manage to be this progressive? And they haven't even made a big deal out of what happened in the new episode. I hope you're taking notes, Crunchyroll.

I'm dense and didn't pick up on Lily's secret until I rewatched it. All that I know is that I was sobbing at the point where her dad saw her perform a song dedicated to him about being gone. 

The comments section of many discussions has gotten to be poisonous though because now you have people barging in to act offended about trans people existing or getting defensive about people calling her trans because they jacked it to Astolfo one time and are now obsessed with labeling everyone a trap regardless if they're trans or crossdressing. Here I was blogging the show, discussing Lily, Lily's dad, and the performance at the end, but now I'm getting comments that make me disappointed in humanity. Floods of "lulz trap" or "Get this trans SJW crap out of my face" or "LILY IS NOT TRANS, LILY IS TRAP, GET IT RIGHT!" from people who never read a single fucking episode I've blogged until now, as if they're magnetized to anything to justify their outrage for people who identify as the opposite gender existing. The magic of anime is wasted on complete assholes.

yeah I've seen the Lily Discourse on twitter and I don't nor do I ever even intend to watch this show

basically the show confirmed she was trans and all the fuckboys watching started saying it was a "sub invention" and that she "never said she was trans" even though the japanese line made it even more blatant that she was trans

[stilgar]

I guess this show isn't gay enough for you is it mochi.

So, you're not going to watch the show because.... of people saying dumb things about it?

Not the content of the show, but because some people on Twitter don't know what they're talking about...?

What?

Some people don't watch shows just because the fanbase is terrible people.

I'm glad I don't stoop to that level of pettiness.

It’s a pretty harsh take on the idol business and and how it affects people.  It’s also damn funny.

[Blatch]

Sometimes, people watching things they think they'll hate is how they find what they love the most.

There's a scene where they get praised by an audience for their headbanging ability since it almost looks like they'd have to break their necks to do it.

Spoiler

Their necks were broken.

Geeze did you think it was Hyperdimension Neptunia?

[Ric]

Goblin Slayer continues to bore me so I might drop it for this.

 

[jackiemarie90]

Watched the first two dubbed episodes of this and I love it! I have a feeling it's gonna be a pretty great feminst anime.

[stilgar]

I am sad that Zombieland Saga is done now.

 

Well, there is always this.

 

 

[Chapinator_X]

It’s been a fun ride. Hopefully they’re able to answer some of the open questions with future material . 

Spoiler

Like whether Kotarou resurrected Sakura out of grief or had her killed specifically for a zombie project, how Yugiri’s resurrection went given her connection to the bartender, and how the investigation will turn out with the journalist

But it’s definitely the best original show this season. I’ll miss seeing Saki and the Legendary Yamada Tae every week.

I definitely need me some more information about Yagiri.

[Juice McKenzie]

I want to hear the rap battle dubbed

Yuugiri is one of the more fascinating girls because of her background. For someone born in the late 1800's, she's the most enthusiastic girl in the group when it comes to the prospect of learning more about how much the world has changed from the time of her demise to 2018.

Her former job as a courtesan also provides some funny moments where she incorporates burlesque, shamisen, and interpretive dance into her mannerisms.

She also has one of the more amusing running gags of slapping someone with disdain even though the person she's slapping agrees with her.

Aside than Saki, Yuugiri was very endearing to me and it would be cool to learn more about her past.

I found this part interesting, I've only seen the first three episodes but they cut back to the original japanese voice and have them rap in Japanese. I guess they thought they couldn't top it.

according to my friend, they didn't have time to dub the songs for the airing but they'll be dubbed for the blu-ray release

Well now I'm curious how it will sound in the dub, but don't know if I'll buy a blu ray.

I'm sure the people who will buy it will post the scene

[Chapinator_X]

I did hear that Funi dubs songs for the physical release, but for the sake of time, opt out of singing for the simulcast. It’s like that with other Funi anime, but hopefully it means they are willing to dub the songs and the rap battle so it feels less jarring for Saki and Sakura to transition into a rap battle in an entirely different language. 

[stilgar]

Season 2, lets fucking go!

 

 

[Chapinator_X]

The first two episodes were great. I like how they’re starting off with new info for Saki. It’s still really sad knowing that none of the girls are able to do much now that they’re alive again out of fear of both outing themselves as zombies and having to trot around alive to people who grieved for them.

Like Saki would’ve been able to confess to White Ryu and have him reciprocate her feelings if she never died. It’s heartbreaking, especially with a character like Saki who puts on a tough intimidating face around everyone but still has to face her own emotions on her own. 

[stilgar]

Next week is gonna be a Yugiri episode. Finally.

 

 

[Chapinator_X]

I’m glad. It’s been kind of a rough Season 2 with how much of it focused on paying off the debt from one bad concert so getting any kind of backstory is a blessing. 

[stilgar]

I mean, the debt is paid off now.
