The later seasons get a little strangled by Retsuko and Haida's relationship woes but I don't hate it.

Yeah, i'm noticing that, too. While always slice-of-life, it's much more typically slice-of-life anime now than in its first two seasons but i'm still enjoying it a lot. Shit's just too cute and, as i said in my previous post, the voice acting is outstanding. Halfway through the 4th season now, i guess i'll finish the show tonight.
 
Jesus Christ the official art for the Maho Precure sequel is pretty gay by Toei and Precure standards. I never thought they would but it does seriously make me wonder if they're actually going in that direction.

It's official, Studio Trigger is making a Transformers anime:

It looks to be a reanimation of several 86 movie scenes. They're going with a more realistic, detailed style, which is promising. If this leads to anything bigger, let's hope it's a kids' show like Armada/Cybertron with Brave series references rather than a more adult-oriented show like those Netflix/Machinima shows -- if it's the former, it will be great because it will just be cool, but if it's the latter, it will try too hard to look cool while introducing a poorly-written story and IDW-esque "character drama".

Also, another nuWataru trailer:

It comes out January 2025, and while I do like the artstyle, it seems Wataru is a social media influencer/gamer this time, which I'm ambivalent about. The new mecha look cool, so let's hope they have lots of mecha scenes this time -- that may automatically make this the best Wataru show yet. Also, it has le Brave stance:

Edit: Oh God, they're making Himiko a Vtumor. Let's hope this doesn't have full-on Lamune fanservice.

Took them long enough, they've been referencing transformers to a ridiculous extent since even before they were Trigger!

Will it be like Masterforce, the one where humans can transform?

The trailer had characters from Armada and Animated, so it's probably going to be a big crossover short. If this leads into a full anime, I wonder if it will try to connect Armada, Animated, Prime, and G1 since Takara is so insistent on everything being one big continuity. Either way, let's hope we get some cool new JAM Project/Hideaki Takatori music out of it.

Animated is interesting because it supposedly takes place a good time after g1 which is why megatron is based on the unreleased "super megatron" that only appeared in comics/manga for years before finally getting and actual figure a few years ago. Armada and prime are both made to be reboots of/different takes on g1 which is where it's gonna get weird. I mean it's not the first time transformers have crossed timelines, but still that stuff is also generally relegated to comics/manga rather than animation.

It's been nineteen going on twenty years since Cybertron/Galaxy Force ended (I feel fucking old). About time Japan takes back the wheel and makes a good fucking show. Hopefully.

you are coping so hard right now

Yuji: I finally have the acknowledgment of my entire village. I no longer have to sit on that dumb swing alone. All my hard work and totally not genetics and god given powers made me into the man I am today. I will finally become Hokage!

"Oh, wait. Wrong MC." :story:

Bro, there's nothing to cope. Naruto is garbage in the end. The author is writing garbage right now. This is par for the course in Gege's writing.
 
The official subs for Aggretsuko s05 are a fucking joke. I don't want to read zoomer lingo in my jap media, what the fuck? They really put in "cringe, no cap" as a translation for one of the lines that a younger character, who lives in a net cafe, says. TL(ocalizator)D.

Edit: Fenneko clearly says "monetize" with a japanese accent (she's playing an online game), subs say "Make it rain!". Two characters are greeting each other with "Osu", it turns into "How's it going?" "The uhze". I'm generally okay with localisations, seeing how japanese looks extremely stilted to western eyes if it is translated 1:1 but this is just retarded.

Great, now the official subs don't even bother to translate the songs. I'm not even sure if the s04 subs were fan subs or official, both season's torrents were released by the same group on Nyaa, but if they are indeed both official then the difference in quality between the two is even more startling.

One last chapter of Hokkaido Gals to go, and I have to say, I'm a little sad that it's ending. Though that may be the case, I'm also glad that it is ending on such a sweet note rather than stretching on forever and ever and wearing out its welcome. I'm so happy for Minami and Tsubasa.

Bro, to anyone who even thinks that this transformers anime is gonna be cool, just remember that "non-binary" thing exists. :stress:

They edited out the non-binary Earthspark scene in Japan, but Trigger is sending chills down my spine. My biggest fear is that it will be tryhard and have goonified fembots (they're doing that in the new Skybound comics), if it doesn't have human characters rendered in a terrible, goonified art style.
