the Problems I have with frieza being alive after the last dbs arc are:

1) he knows what he has to in order to kill goku and veggy but, he still doesnt do it (aka train and do it properly)
2) I really dont see how vegeta would be fine, with having the guy who eradicated his whole race, being alive and well.
Especially because at this point he is so much stronger than freeziepop, that he could squash him like a bug.

This kind of setup would make more sense with a villain like cell, who is kind of a free spirit and doesnt share a mutual hate boner with anyone but gohan the irrelevant.

I agree that a lot of stuff about it is up in the air, especially why Vegeta just lets Frieza live, but I'm happy with the potential Frieza brings to the series. I guess it's all up to whether they'll address all this in the continuation of Super or if they'll just try to sweep it under the rug and hope nobody notices or bothers to complain. As for why Frieza doesn't hit the gym, in case he indeed stop training after ToP, they might do a classic Toriyama asspull and say he's reached his limits and can't grow a lot stronger with his current method, that is, till the plot demands him to suddenly become stronger.

You know, I can't really say enough nice things about Golden Kamui, I think it's becoming one of my favorite anime of all time. Never really hear all that much about it either.

They introduce characters every other episode and manage to make them more memorable in 5 minutes then the protagonists of most anime. I think the whole "we eat some fucked up 1800s Japanese/Ainu shit together in every episode" thing is a little formulaic but it's usually done well enough.

Thanks for reminding me of that show, it really looks promising but somehow I forgot about it.

Anyone know if Horizon is getting another season?
The LNs were long, holy shit.
 
Looking into it, seems to be mostly ASCII media and production IG shows that got pulled.

I saw that yesterday was the day Crunchyroll and Funimation's partnership officially ended. Probably has to do with that.

Looks like a whole stack of shows got yanked or stuffed in the vault. Which doesn't sound good at all for Crunchyroll.

Thanks for letting me know, that's hilarious.

What kind of a massive casual uses Crunchyroll when Kissanime and torrents exist?

Can you get High Guardian Spice from Kissanime? (Ignore the fact that CR might go under before it is released, apparently.)

That reminds me of another anime, Happy Sugar Life, from a few seasons back, where the main character was a high school girl with a crush on an elementary schooler.

She was depicted as a manipulative, murderous, selfish and tragically insane sociopath. The fact that apparently it's going to be played straight in this show AFTER that one came out feels kind of... Backwards.

So far, I've liked it. If you haven't seen it so far only the first 5min are really about a 'bunny girl'. Story focuses on a weird 'adolescence syndrome' e.g the titular bunny girl is a former idol and is vanishing from peoples eyes and memories and she dresses that way to see if people notice or react to her. Last episode was a time loop 'groundhog day' and might be following that style for a bit.

I heard a few people say it was good and I bit the bullet and tried giving it a watch.

I actually liked it too! While not utterly heartrending or anything, it can be a rather emotional coming of age story that feels a lot more 'real' in the way it deals with stupid teenager problems than a lot of shows in the same sort of teenage drama genre do.

The writer, Hajime Kamoshida, seems to be pretty good at doing that sort of thing.

Call me:optimistic: but I'd like to believe they mean that she "fell in love" the way high school girls "fall in love" with cute things like puppies, and that the comedy is that she's just being a sperg about it. Then again, I'm not actually gonna bother watching it, I'd like to still have some :optimistic: for a little while longer.

+1 for bunny girl from me too. I remember reading about 6\7 issues of the manga and thought it was pretty neat. Glad to see it has had a good anime adaptation that's had a budget. Whole thing doesn't feel rushed or there's lots of background cheats going on. It seems to do really well on the plot and I loved the Laplace demon arc.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree that Goblin Slayer's world-building is garbage. You can have a threat be credible, you can have a threat be common and you can have everyone underestimate the threat but you can't have all three at the same time. What really gets the noggin jogging is the scene where all of these mid level adventures are talking shit about Goblin Slayer wasting all his time on slaying goblins when statistically according to the priestess's monologue at the end of episode 1 they know many other adventurers that have been killed by goblins, have themselves survived the goblin meatgrinder and have recovered human remains/mindbroken goblin breeding factories from them. Like, just the raw amount of hate these buggers would generate for the rape-breeding alone would ensure there would be a fuckton of support financial and otherwise for exterminating all goblins with great prejudice.

In the light novels is more explored, practically speaking everyone see Goblins as low tier as slimes and if you get killed by them that means that the job was not for you and wannabe adventurers dying is normal in this world, still the difference between what they talk and what happen is weird because the goblins are still a plague to little towns that barely has money to pay competent adventurers to get rid of them, that is why Goblin Slayer is so popular with the peasants because he deals with the shit that the privileged citizens of towns like Water town dont even have to bother, and as i explained early the bigger threats are not his concern because for that is the Mary sue heroine that can blast everything with her mary sueness

Is implied that his theory about goblins coming from the moon is true so probably he is going to find a way to exterminatus the fuck out of them
