  • Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel 2 - holy fuck that Saber Alter vs Berserker fight, it really shows just how much quality Ufotable puts into their work. Also Sakura best girl

  • Re:Creators - totally underrated imo, this should have been Action Anime of the Year when it came out

Kyoani's very particular about their ownership or control over the source material, it's half of the reason they started their own LN/Manga branch to begin with.

They don't have majority control over Haruhi's LN's, so they're not going to make a season 3 until they get that.

Finished Akagi, after having seen Kaiji last year. Together with One Outs, that's probably the best series featuring tricky guys finding loopholes in the rules? Love these kinds of series, and I like they don't leave the character's talent to 'lol they're just really good, prodigies since they were young' etc.

Well, I know what I'm doing if I ever become ludicrously wealthy: Buy up the portions of the LN rights that Kyoani doesn't own and then sell it to them at a ridiculously low price.

In other news, Funimation (to which I subscribe) has finally put up the Rising of the Shield Hero dub. I am two episodes in and I already love it.

Yeah, years after its release.

They do admit that they screwed up on not reviewing it when it came out though. Also, apparently Siskel didn't like Mark Hamill's Joker...

Upside to consuming the original Fate after watching Zero: Zero is excellently tense when you don't know the ending, knowing more about the world and characters.

Downside to consuming the original Fate after watching Zero: Oh God, I know too much, everything is nightmarish, the horror, the horror.
