Is that in the "main" manga timeline, which I know diverges wildly from the anime, or is it from one of those weird alternate alternate universe spin-offs?
 
Cutey Honey Universe....

I haven't seen it but why do so many despise it? I saw the 70s anime and read the manga.

Taking a shot in the dark here, but I'm thinking it may have underplayed the shoujo-ai aspects and yuri fans are ruffled over it. I could've sworn I saw the "shoujo-ai" tag on MAL at one point. Also am seeing around a common complaint about its animation.

Far as I could tell, not many people watched it anyway. Seems to have flown under the radar.

It was a short manga series. I actually have the books in storage somewhere.

isn't it cute how they are trying to ruin the English translator's life by calling him a nazi pedophile for liking Strike Witches and Girls und Panzer for believing he's ruining their fantasies of two 14 year old boys making out?Aren't double standards nice?
Hell,I got blocked by Suede on twitter for saying that the guy does not promote child porn for believing that underage nudity or sex of fictional drawings shouldn't be criminalized,otherwise it would be the same as calling someone a psychopathic murderer for enjoying games and movies with gore.He simply answered it's not the same thing and blocked me...
 
I just watched the first episode of the Isekai smartphone anime and it's even worse than generic Isekai. The pacing is godawful and felt like it was 4 episodes compressed into one, and the main character is the biggest Gary Stu in all of fiction as God just gives him literally everything which is worse cause I heard in the light novel that the author had God lecture a group of bad guys (and the audience) that relying on God for everything is not good yet the main character literally relied on God to get far in life.

It's on bluray and I'd like to see it but I don't want to be disappointed
 
Netflix new Italian dub of Evangelion is obscene. The dialogues keep, in Italian, the same syntactic structure they have in Japanese, and the results vary from awkward, to hilarious, to incomprehensible. Kaji's monologue in the watermelon field is delirious, and I could understand what he was saying just because I remembered the old dub.

After a furious backlash and the reporting of the most respected newspapers of my country, Netflix decided to burn the new dub, while the guy who worked on the dialogues spergs about that he hasn't to make the series available to the audience, his mission is to preserve the beauty of Japanese language (even though he doesn't speak Japanese).

Meanwhile, the voice actors and the dubbing director are coming out saying that they didn't want to act that garbage because they (rightly) feared the fans' reactions, and the effect the new dub could have on their professional reputation.

On better topics, I just finished watching Dororo and I liked it a lot, even though I think that the ending needed another episode to better close all the plots. The last episode was a bit rushed, IHMO.

Do you think that is bad? even the official translator of the Light novel wondered what the heck Japan was smoking when they proposed it to be animated, the thing is so awful that makes thing like the Invisible dragon (a legendary web novel that you have to read it, is magical) looks good, there is no plot or anything memorable is just the guy is op, bitches throw at him by the dozen and he doesn't even have to put effort on it, practically the guy managed to strip Kirito of his Mary Sue status (even when Reki is a shit writer at least he like to make him struggle to git gud, all his bad rep was mostly rescinded when he writed alicization)

Recently you get Kenja no mago that is mostly the same garbage, there must be a limit of how much isekai crap can you put until people get bored of it
 
Inspired by our own Lone MacReady, I decided to watch Manyuu Hikenchou.

*Don LaFontaine voice* In a woooooorld, where breast size determines a woman's social status, one girl can make a difference...

Yeah, it's an alternate version of feudal Japan where everyone is obsessed with tits, the "Manyuu" clan holds the secrets to giant breasts and a girl from the clan decides to run away with their scroll of secrets to try to share the wealth.

It's a titastic anime, if you like anime tiddies, Manyuu Hikenchou has loads of them, but what's funny is despite the comedic bent and despite the absurdity of everything, I did find myself getting invested in the story and characters and that's one of the things I love about anime, how even ones with absurd premises are still well done enough to make you care, it reminded me of Keijo in that way as a matter of fact.

Sadly the only downside is none of the story threads are resolved, it's a very clear case of "read the manga for more!" and I'm totally scratching my head as to why it wasn't a big enough hit to warrant a second season.

Fanservice anime was in the way out, there were a limit of how much To love ru and queen blade you could put out before people feel burned, and i think people got in the idea that "better to watch porn", check recent anime charts, you barely are going to find a fanservicey anime now

Didn't Queen's Blade and Ikkitousen get new seasons recently? But yeah, fanservice heavy shows don't seem to be as big as they used to.

I think also what Queen's Blade and Ikkitousen have in common is they both have really large cast of girls, whereas Manyuu Hikenchou is just focused on a handful of them, that probably makes it less appealing as far as merchandise and the like goes.

It also seems like fanservice series that actually come up with a story reason for why there's so much T&A, like Manyuu Hikenchou and Keijo, don't seem to be as popular even though I appreciate the cleverness of that.
 
There's still ecchi coming out, but fanservice shows right now have been relegated to five-minute literal-hentai shorts of (mostly) josei manga/novels. Seems like every season ever since Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni... came out has a hentai short that gets heavily censored in order to air on TV.

Manyuu Hikenchou has borderline hentai shorts as well and they are hilarious.

Like Sailor Moon, this is what happens when you don't constantly rerelease shit. We wouldn't have this new dub if the show had just kept getting rereleased every so often.
