BUU8800 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 But... but ACCA and Rakugo! Rakugo is why I allowed for second. They're pretty much neck and neck with a finish line 8 weeks out...or so. Will one stumble? I dunno, also don't watch ACCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, also don't watch ACCA. I consider Dragon Maid to be the best new anime. Rakugo is best sequel, although it's the only sequel I am watching atm besides YowPeda. But still! You should give ACCA a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUU8800 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Seems you and Eye both agree on splitting sequels up from originals for seasonal rankings. Fair enough. I'll pass on ACCA, for now at least. I did watch Chain Chronicle's first episode on Monday night and though it saddens me to admit it I can see why Eye so easily dismissed it. Don't plan on dropping it as it isn't THAT bad, but I feel absolutely no desire to watch episode 2 which...isn't good. Perpetual on-hold list will probably be getting bigger soon. Honestly I'm still planning on catching up on Conan this year when not watching my seasonal shows despite how insanely difficult it's proving to be due to its episodic, case by case nature. If only it had 100 episode arcs like One Piece instead of 50 2 episode arcs! 310+ episodes and 7 movies to go! I WILL CATCH UP!...............................someday. After that...maybe Gintama? Got nearly 280ish episodes and a movie or 2 of that to catch up on. Hell it may be easier to rotate them after getting Conan down a bit closer I dunno, we'll see...I assume. And speaking of... Detective Conan 537 - 538 Oh ho, quite the benevolent turn from Kaitou Kid this time. I figured the missing plates were being used to feed the dog, but failed to put 2 and 2 together and realize he was actually trapped inside the safe. Seems pretty obvious though in retrospect. Sweet motivation aside I don't envy who hasta clean the no doubt mountain of dog feces left behind in the safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes it easier, since I don't normally like ranking stuff. But after that most recent episodes, especially Gintama's, I might have to go: 1. Rakugo 2. Gintama 3. MaiDragon 4. ACCA See, it's just not fair to the new shows? Also, ACCA might have dropped 'cause of MaiDragon... As for Chain Chronicle, it wasn't bad, like I said. But there wasn't anything there for me to connect with, and I could understand why that might be different for someone else. Would be nice to have a good melee action show, and Akiba's Trip isn't quite there visually. I might have said it before, but Gintama doesn't require strict adherence to watching every episode, so long as you hit the major arcs. And Crunchyroll just announced they're releasing dubbed episodes, starting with season 3.

blueraven1999 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Gintama 2017 ep 3 Elizabeth was the MVP this ep. Loved the part where she beat up the enemy with her die sign. Also the "Nobody cares, just get on with" it sign in response to the long titles was great. Totally agreed with her. The gorilla bit in the beginning was funny. I can understand comparing Kondo to a gorilla, but it's kind of mean to compare others to the gorillas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Crunchyroll just announced they're releasing dubbed episodes, starting with season 3. I can understand why you consider it unfair, but I can't agree. Well, I suppose I do to a point. I don't even acknowledge things with hundreds of episodes(or sequels to things with hundreds of episodes) in seasonal rankings. If I did, Dragon Ball Super would absolutely be the best series for me every season it airs just for being Dragon Ball related. It's the rules for Buu! So something like Gintama is absolutely disqualified from seasonal rankings in my eyes. Ditto Detective Conan and One Piece. Something like Rakugo though? That's only in its second, and last, 12 episode season? Yeah, that's fair game. I suppose it's a bit unfair to pick and choose like that, but eh, my rankings. Also, I absolutely refuse to skip any Gintama so long as I can help it. I saw they added the dub. A rather asinine decision to start it 200+ episodes in imo, but I'm sure they have their reasons. Detective Conan 539 I dunno, this one seemed off somehow, even by filler standards. The accidental death felt too outlandish considering the bleak message they were going for, which itself felt overly preachy. I guess the photo ending sorta worked, seeing how far the three brothers had fallen with their own eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Detective Conan 540 - 541 A Kogoro-centric 2 parter where he figures things out mostly on his own? Count me in! Even if it's filler, I'm always up for some Kogoro episodes. (Although apparently Japan disagrees. According to the Detective Conan wiki 541 was/possibly still is the least watched episode in the show's history in Japan.) And aside from Conan using his soccer ball to push the culprit back up the cliff enough for Kogoro to grab him, which was ridiculous, this one was great! Always love seeing Kogoro being badass, and the Eri flashback/scene comforting him was wonderful. <3 That fat ladies' involvement in the case did just kinda peter out though I suppose. Textbook definition of a red herring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Off the Air: "Words" Kantai Collection #12 (END) So that's the end. Yeah... honestly, the final episode was better than I expected! They brought back literally everyone we've seen in the whole show, including Nagato in combat for the first time. And, for as utterly cornholed as it was, Fubuki landing the critical blow to turn the battle was basically a huge telegraphing of her whole character arc, but at the same time the whole thing would've been heresy without it. I'm just happy to have gotten some damn good action, historical reversioning and Japanese supremacy aside. Overall, Kantai Collection is... not a great show, but I don't really agree in calling it bad. You see, when a show has so many different characters to juggle at the same time (literal dozens in this case) and it can only give character development to a precious few... well, I'm not a fan of it. Especially when the MC gets very trite and stereotypical development. Why the hell they just didn't go ahead and make Kongou the main character, I don't know. But the show was competently produced in all areas and did have a few genuinely enjoyable moments. For those, I give it a 6/10. And now... the final screenies: Enjoy, Poke.

BUU8800 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 Long Riders! 11 - 12(END) Final Thoughts: Nice work Ami, enduring some rain riding and introducing Saeki to the wonderful world of cycling with Team Fortuna! Anyway, glad to finally be able to finish this rather cute, rather relaxing series. The production delays were unfortunate, but I think finishing this after starting Minami Kamakura from the current season has allowed me to appreciate it more. It might be a bit unfair to say only 5 episodes into that series, but this one is definitely the better of the two imo. Ami, Aoi, Saki, Yayoi and Hinako made for a team I always enjoyed watching interacting together. This sorta felt a bit like Hidamari Sketch with cycling. A very warm series. Ami's earnestness in taking up cycling felt genuinely touching throughout. And honestly I'd rather we got 12 more episodes of this than Minami. Which sounds like I'm shitting on that show when I really am enjoying it too. It's just that they're so similar and...I liked this better...again through 5 episodes of that, but I don't see that changing. Anyway, I'm rambling. This was a solidly good 7/10 series. I'm tempted to give it an 8, but I'll hold off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Detective Conan 542 - 543 Well the case itself wasn't much. Mostly due to the big hint to the culprit's identity once again requiring knowing kanji. Even the secondary clue felt too esoteric to be of much help. The culprit's motivation felt more shoehorned in than usual too. I ended up feeling more sympathetic towards the victim despite her past transgression. At least the Okiya intrigue surrounding it was fun, and it was nice to see a culprit go down swinging again, this time by taking Ayumi hostage. It had been awhile. Is Haibara right to be so suspicious of Mr. Okiya? We'll see, but actions speak louder than words they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Detective Conan 545 - 546 Yeah, the vast majority of this case was pretty easy to figure out. I literally instantly realized Yamamura's granny was just seeing her own reflection, and the rest came shortly after meeting the suspects. Only thing I didn't really foresee was Sato being the original witch, but in retrospect her appearance in the episodes at all makes it obvious. Careful Takagi, you've got a screamer. Despite the easiness of the case and slight padding in part 2(nearly the first 7 minutes were recap +op) I did enjoy the foggy, atmospheric, supernatural premise. Plus it was another of those rare 2 parters where nobody actually dies...in the present anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
