| Finished Strike Witches S2, I still like the series. It's not amazing, but it's definitely decent enough. It still has that episodic thing to it where it tries to develop every character and it fairly succeeds. It still knows how to balance comfy and the plot. The ending was pretty nice too. It still has a lot less Ecchi than I expected. Other than full nudity in a lot of parts, there were like 2 episodes that actually has that Ecchi feel to it, which were the training episode and the bug episode. I was legitimately surprised that the beach episode didn't have any ecchi scenes. The extent of Strike Witches' ecchiness is "we're nude lmao" or "pantyshot" most of the time. I might as well finish the entire series, so I'll probably watch the OVA series, the movie, and then the spin-off later on.

Pullman all I said was that a character is becoming really popular without even saying why, its as much of a spoiler as the news posts that show character names and art for upcoming characters. well, the thing is that I can't know if it's a spoiler until it's too late and I'm not gonna try and find out every time I see people posting about manga content I don't know yet. All I see is people talking about manga stuff and that gives me constant spoiler paranoia for series I'm very invested in. It's not like it's a one-time thing, it happens all the time. Plus you never know, harmless comments can be spoilers depending on the context. Mentioning that a character that hasn't been introduced yet is a new villain can be very spoilerific if that character doesn't get introduced as a villain right away, but looks to be neutral or even a good guy at first, for example. Again, I don't know what is the case in this specific example and I'll only find out once that character is introduced in the anime, but I don't want to have that uncertainty all the time with a million vague comments and observation on stuff that hasn't been introduced yet. It's just much easier and safer if people just used spoiler tags or had their own thread for manga discussions like that, rather than me (and other potential anime only watchers) having to dodge those comments every day and hoping that none of those 'innocent' posts I glance at end up being spoilers. You just need to add some BBCode to your posts, I have to consciously read every post slowly, prepared to immediately scroll past it once I find out it talks about stuff that could be spoiler territory. Because it doesn't need to be an actual spoiler, it just needs to have the potential to be one to really make browsing the thread more stressful. I got spoilered about OP in particular before just by a thread title in the sub forum (where you allegedly shouldn't discuss manga spoilers either) that had the word 'timeskip' in it because I didn't expect a timeskip to be coming up and it definitely ruined the surprise and hype of that development for me to a degree, so it really doesn't take much. The other big spoiler I got was about Law and Luffy teaming up but I don't even remember how it happened, but it was probably a similar scenario. I'm generally good at avoiding spoilers but stuff like this where I don't just want to straight-up avoid the whole thread to be on the safe side (like I usually would) really make it difficult and even when I'm watching out for spoilers every day some unwanted information always manages to skip by. And not knowing what is going to happen is really the only thing that makes the slow pace of the OP anime not feel so slow these days. But I really don't want to make this about OP, I just feel like it should be basic etiquette not to talk about future manga developments/characters/arc/whatever without spoiler tags when anime-only watchers are around. Even if you try not to spoiler, you don't have the anime-only perspective so you don't always know what would constitute a spoiler. |

| its like the show is trying to make shinn unlikable, sfor all intents and purposes he has everything going for him to be an excellent character, but the show just keeps going for the lowest common denominator ANGST with him even when the show spent a good chunk of its run getting him out of it. Its really a shame cause i was actually starting to like him before this show's writing tanked. but shinn isnt even the one im really angry about, i dont think i can forgive the butchering they did to cagali. |

Like, one character is stronger than the other beating the shit out of him and then after a time the other character is stronger than the other beating the shit out of him. There's barely any "they're equal". Guess it's harder to direct fights that way. It's like what nu-Bleach does 90% of the time during their fights, or a lot of Shounen with powerups really. say Fake Karakura arc Vivid Strike really reminded me of Hajime no Ippo where fights were actually close and had that sense of balance between fighters and "wow who'll win". it's nice |

| Finished the Strike Witches movie. That was still good, it's a lot better than what I expected because part of what I liked the most about Strike Witches is the semi-episodic structure and I was concerned how the movie will do the comfiness well. Managed to do that just fine, alongside showing how everyone in the main cast is doing which is nice. Can't really talk about what I like about it without spoiling anything, but at least I can vaguely say "I'm glad it doesn't feel like a cop-out". Also there is NO WAY that should have an Ecchi tag. There was nothing like that in it other than the signature aerial crotch shots during fight scenes, which is the tamest shit ever.

| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| I'm just gonna make a fairly big statement here, shinn asuka is the single most wasted potential protagonist I have ever seen. Holy shit everything about that character was set up for excellent character development and the series straight up spit on it in favor of AAAANGST, then its made exponentially worse that he doesnt even stay protagonist the whole way through like he fucking should have in favor of switching perspectives to this fanfiction rendition of kira yamato. Like seed destiny is so much better than i ever expected, and thats why its so much worse than i could ever expected. I never expected the show to have so much going for it and for it to spit in the viewers face so hard. THis is exponentially worse than the feeling stardust memory gave me though I dont think its anywhere close to as bad as that shitshow was, at least yet fuck this im ripping the band aid off on this one quick, im going to shoot towards finishing this series sunday. the faster im through with this the sooner i can heal and hope 00 fares better. |

>people still believe 2hu is reclining Joon overlord of business says otherwise, Reitaisai is stronger than ever. Why do people forget that Touhou's doujin circle is not only limited to what Comiket has but is divided into like 4 large events per year. Reitaisai is pretty much the second largest doujin convention, only beaten by Comiket, and that's all 100% Touhou. Comiket also still has a dedicated Touhou-day, which is somewhat odd but very respectable. I'm still hoping for more 2hu fangames on Steam btw also wew just noticed that Brave Witches is another "new generation" type of deal. Why do you try to remind me of Nanoha when I'm trying to get out of it, Strike Witches. The OVA series and the spin off remain, then I'm either going to watch GuP or watch the Kancolle movie. |
