Obligitory Animes Thread

The show is mediocre, as a fan of the series

7/10 is the lowest I dare rate a show I have no issues watching all the way through. 6/10 requires some effort to finish, 5/10 means I insisted on playing completionist for completion's sake. 4/10 and lower is dropped.

Blazblue was almost the weakest showing of last season, if not for Strike The Blood (it's one of those "so bad, it's good" things). It probably would've been a 6/10 if it hadn't placed more focus on Makoto or spelled out what the Azure, Boundary, and Takamagahara were in clearer terms.

lol Attack of Titan is on NEtflix already

I was amazed too. Guess whoever is in charge of their anime acquisitions pushed HARD for this one. Speaking of unbelievable things they're gonna be doing a dub/simulcast (dubs up like three hours after the show airs in Japan) of an upcoming mecha show. This is kind of unprecedented and I'm curious how it'll work out.

I personally believe this is bullshit.

PROS:

• Faithful soundtrack
• Fills you in on the background mechanics of the world in a much simpler way.
• Entire cast appears, with all VA's still in their roles.
• The animation is also faithful to the official art.

CONS:

• The story revolves entirely around Ragna, Jin, Noel, and Hazama. Everyone else is either seen as secondary (Rachel, Kokonoe, Makoto, Lambda, and Tsubaki) or bit-part (everyone else).
• For shippers, the studio favors Noel over Rachel for Ragna. Just if you care.
• It's a low-budget work. There are some silly animating moments.
• As I said, the games still are required playing to get a full grasp of the universe.

Overall, for a fan of the series, Alter Memory is a 7/10. Without prior knowledge of the series... a 5/10.

I only watched five or six episodes of the show (before my brother asked me to wait for him then characteristically ignored the thing he asked me to put on hold for him) and it seemed alright. Then again I'm not nearly half as negative or picky as a lot of people. That said I haven't seen the whole thing and it definitely could have been better. The show deserved some more time to unravel the plot and a bigger budget. It didn't even have an opening for three episodes. That's just sad. I think extend's opening animation might have had nicer quality than the show itself, lol.

I was waiting to see what my brother thought of it, he having never played through the single player campaigns, but he has been dragging his fucking feet forever, and any attempt to make him watch one of the shows he has asked me to wait on results in him whining about how little free time he has, even now that he's unemployed even now that I have been waiting for months. And if I watch the things by myself he will go into a tantrum about how he was "betrayed" and refuse to watch the things ever. But enough about his character flaws.

Also Noel is clearly the girl for Ragna. There I said it. Not that he's in a great position. At least for Jin things are reletively normal. Ragna's choices are between a clone of his sister and a girl that looks like she's twelve.

For the most part, I agree. More money + 24 episodes would probably have improved the overall quality, but we got something decent for what they paid.

That said... no. I've never supported clone-cest, so I'm in the Rachel group.

While i believe you can't even rate a show if you don't finish it. Those 1-4's are 4 different levels of rating, yet you do the same thing to all of them, you don't know.

You can say a show isn't to your liking and drop it, but you can't rate it or judge it as a whole unless you finish it.
