I really thought he was provoking Corteo so Corteo would attack him and he would deliver a killing blow.
Dying like a bitch this way was completely unexpected.
>>146951768
I dropped it since it was too serious and boring for me, so I lost track of what was going on.
Give me cute girls instead,
Why did Angelo want everyone dead anyways? Triggering that internal war didn't assist him with finding out who the fourth man was, nor was it part of the revengeance.
>>146952393
The series isn't afraid to kill off characters, I like that but at the same time Fango was fun and I was really starting to like him.
>>146951986
It's not exactly the most original show ever, or even recently. Go watch Godfather or Sopranos or something. If your standards are this low then those are going to blow your godamn mind.
>>146952504
We're talking about anime here.
>>146952521
I understand that. I'm saying it's not an especially inspired anime, it's just influenced more heavily by other gangster stories rather than other anime.
>>146952471
I don't care when he dies, but that still felt off. It's Fango, he's reckless and has quick reflexes. I can't imagine anyone sneaking up on him, much less an otherwise harmless and nervous moonshiner with irregular breathing.
>>146952425
Here, have a cute girl.
>>146952559
What I'm saying is it doesn't follow the usual anime formula that has been overused.
>>146952598
>the usual anime formula that has been overused
Describe this formula to me, and name all the shows this season that follow it.
>>146951768
>Having an original theme is all it takes now to make "the best anime ever"
No. Just the typical show that used to come out before the industry changed to be purely about trying to bilk specific niche fanatical fan groups for short term profits now rather than making good shows that will last (both in terms of episode count and the test of time).
>>146952718
you know anon that formula, the one that every show follows
>>146951768
Joker Game > 91 Days >>>>>> everything else that's come out this year
>>146952598
If I wrote a book about a dude running into a girl with toast in her mouth and then having to live with her and having sexual escapades, it wouldn't suddenly be original and great just because I was drawing on cliches that aren't common in Western books.
>>146952718
Cute girls.
Doing cute things.
I'm sure you know which follow it.
>>146952598
And what I'm saying is it's simply following another formula that's been overused. Just because you're not familiar with what it's influenced by doesn't stop it from being influenced by those things. It's fine to like it because it's fresh to you, and yeah I'm enjoying it too, but don't say it's something that it's not.
>>146952718
Not him, but it's not technically a formula. It's just that it avoids a lot of the typical japanisms and cliches that worm their way into the majority of anime, for cultural reasons.

Who was Trigun pandering to? Who was Escaflowne pandering to? Japanese teens have changed, and not for the better. Back then they were more like murikans if they really were being pandered to in shows like that.

>>146951768
no because I hate the fact that there's no dub
>>146952969
Nah I looked at the seasonal page, read the summaries, looked at the pics and found nothing that looked interesting.
>>146952901
>who was Escaflowne pandering to?
Not him, but Escaflowne was very clearly targeting teenage girls and suffered like fuck for it. Hitomi was insufferable and that romance was shit. And pandering aside, it didn't end well at all and really felt hacked together toward the end. Frankly, the designs and animation are like 90% of the reason to watch Escaflowne, the rest of the story was a mixture of some of Kawamori's less entertaining bullshit and boilerplate shoujo-style stuff.
>>146952901
Trigun and Escaflowne weren't typical anime. There have never been seasons of ten shows like Trigun. Most of the stuff that came out at the same time as them was schlock that no one remembers or talks about. You're comparing the cream of decades of anime to a single season.
Would you watch Sousei no Onmyouji?
>>146951768
>not the usual shonen
MC is a shitty version of the Death Note MC. Just a shitty edgy show for teens that think that just because something is set in the '20s it's mature.
Only a massive newfag would look at this shit and call it "best anime ever"
>>146952986
Not enough guidos in the VA business to cover a dub for this.

Funny how they came within 2 years of each other and Cowboy beBoop and Eva and Slayers and Utena and Hamelin and Miyu TV while these days I can't find one animu like those in a 5 year span

There was also Cowboy Bebop, Basara, Lodoss TV, and Brain Powerd that season though.

I'd settle for 1 per season these days.
>>146953269
>>146953356
Just digging your own grave with some of those you're mentioning.
Only Bebop, Eva, and Utena are exceptional.
>>146951768
It somewhat reminds me of that feeling I had after I finished reading gunslinger girl, though not on the same level.
After I finished that manga, I was like, damn that was good. It felt so refreshing and different to read. But why? And then I realized it had only one japanese thing in it (using little girls) and the rest of it felt so western. Good stuff after a long time of japan-only.
>>146953400
The rest are exceptional to me, and that is what matters to me, anon.
>Due to the violence portrayed in the Cowboy Bebop world and violence in Japanese schools, the series was briefly cancelled and an extra session was created as a final episode to the first thirteen episodes aired. Called "Session XX: Mish-Mash Blues," a compilation of clips from previous episodes, it aired on June 26, 1998 on TV Tokyo. The episode was never released on DVD. In it, the characters provide a philosophical commentary and end with the words: This Is Not The End. You Will See The Real "Cowboy Bebop" Someday!
Never knew this
I think the ending for this show will determine ow good it will be.
>>146953269
>I can't find one animu like those within a five year span
You aren't fucking watching anime, then. Fantasy is one thing, but we've had two Ikuhara shows (one great, one lesser but in the same style) in the last five years, which is two more than in the preceding thirteen, and we've had some great mecha like Fafner, MJP, Break Blade, in that timespan (all of which are better than Brain Powerd, by the way), and we've had Space Dandy on the Watanabe front (and Sakamichi no Apollon was also good), and G-Reco for your admittedly-so-so dose of Tomino (just like Brainpowerd), etc.
>>146953356
But Lodoss TV and the Basara anime were shit.
>>146953426
Yes. You used to like garbage shows and now you don't. Anime hasn't changed that much. You have.
>>146953364
Valkyrie was a good harem series, though. The crappy ones in that day were the Cosprayers line and Green Green and shit like that.
>>146953298
I think what he's talking about is stuff with no supernatural elements. I'd still say Baccano is a better show, but at the same time the only similarity between the two is setting, so it's silly to even compare them.
>>146953473
Ikuhara has lost it if he ever had it. Fafner is snooze, Break Blade is mediocre, Space Dandy is laughable just by the name alone, and the only good things to ever come out of Tomino's ass were Turn A and Brain Powerd
>>146953477
I just watched Basara a year ago :^)
>>146953473
>Basara anime were shit.

It seems like you just have terminally shit taste then.

>Ikuhara has lost it if he ever had it. Fafner is snooze, Break Blade is mediocre, Space Dandy is laughable just by the name alone, and the only good things to ever come out of Tomino's ass were Turn A and Brain Powerd

Well, I'm out, these opinions are too hot for me.
>>146953590
>Don't agree with me? Shit taste it is!
Predictable old /a/. Next you'll tell me Erased is an all time classic and Another was your AOTY in 2012
>>146953599
Yes, Jintai was awful in its self-awareness and pointlessness. And Baccano was 2007, that's no longer modern anymore.
>>146953535
I think I perfectly understood what he's talking about and 91 days is as generic and bland as it gets.

It's as if you don't understand slayers is the greatest thing the Japanese have ever created.
>>146953779
Better than most of the 90s garbage getting mentioned in this thread.
91 days is the riskiest anime to be made in quite awhile. Not surprisingly, it failed since it didn't contain idorus, cute girls, powering up for 5 eps, or a main character with a harem
>>146953755
Being realistic doesn't make it good. Not that 91 Days is particularly realistic, particularly with Fango and Big Mexico. Nor does the lack of other mafia anime make this one any less mediocre.
>>146953799
Now this is a hot opinion
>>146953808
>91 days is the riskiest anime to be made in quite awhile. Not surprisingly, it failed since it didn't contain idorus, cute girls, powering up for 5 eps, or a main character with a harem
Sounds like baby's first not cliche anime.
>>146953834
Not particularly. It's not like this dipshit has been cherry picking only the classics.
>>146953779
anime was better but you can't just write off shows without trying them first i mean madoka is just another shitty sailor moon right?
>>146953826
Where the fuck did I imply that being realistic made it good? All I did was call out anon for being a retard for comparing it to a show that has nothing to do with the post he was replying to.
This is some pretty godawful reading comprehension going on here.
>>146953907
Oh I see what you were going for then. But the thing is, even if one is somehow fooled by Madoka's initial appearance, one will know Madoka is more from comments and images on this /a/. So far I haven't seen anything on /a/ to persuade me to watch a summer 2016 show.
>>146953907
This is some good bait.
>>146953882
The last modern classic was made in 2012 though. That's an awful long time ago.
>>146953938
you do understand /a/ doesn't talk about some shows very often i think it would be easy to miss a good show just by lurking.
besides how can you really know if a show is good or not unless you yourself watch it?
for instance think about how popular some shows you probably dislike are.
>>146953808
Did you start watching anime this season?
Silly question I know, since the answer is yes
>>146954025

but you dropped it on the first episode how can you know it's bad?
>watch everything

yeah no fuck that
90% of the time I can tell how shit a show will be in the first 2 minutes
>>146954025
Problem is, we don't have all the time in the world. We have to look at a summary and guess sometimes. I watch 1 ep of something sometimes and decide to drop it. Then you'll say "How can you know it doesn't get better unless you watch the rest of it?" Where does the madness end?

>>146954076
That's clearly not what is being said there and you know it. You would know Madoka is more by that screenshot of Mami's bodacious bod or people talking about how "dark" it is. That isn't reading a review, it's collecting information.
>>146954061
> we don't have all the time in the world

>>146954149
>low budget meme trash that utterly bombed and failed in every aspect
So like most of the classics? I should point out that Cowboy Bebop and Trigun sold like shit too. In fact, a lot of the more modern classics did, though I suppose that depends on what you'd define as a classic.
Besides, it didn't fail in every aspect. In fact, it failed in only two aspects: sails and visuals. It achieved pretty much everything it aimed to achieve, including making me sperg out at trolls on an anonymous imageboard for foreign cartoons.
>>146954149
you are retarded
>>146954061
>we don't have all the time in the world.
no one does, and thats fine, it's just unfair to not watch the entirety of something and claim it is bad.

you can't if you don't finish something you can never really know how good or bad it is

It's not bad, it's a good depressive anime to watch when you are feeling down to match with the mood.
And the opening is simply great. One of my favourite bands.
>>146954338
Trigun is totally different from Bebop. Bebop is just generic action with le funnay character dynamics and swanky music. Trigun is psychoanalysis of a loon superhero
>>146952425

>>146955298
Osomatsu had cast most of the top 7 male voice actors for the Matsus, except for Mamoru. Sugita did a guest Matsu.
So that takes care of the fujobucks and the large event ticket bump. They also raked in nostalgiabucks and reached the 500 Japanese citizens who can recognize a good comedy. Omnipandering show.
>>146954607
Except no one gave him good anime at first - they gave him Bleach and Glasslip. Then either he samefagged, or some other guy showed up, and started shitposting about how 100% of modern anime was terrible and namedropping stuff like Basara and Violinist of Hameln, which certainly aren't newfag-here-I-need-recs-tier shows.

>>146956257
Since when were you under tha impression that you were dealing with Fango?
>>146955566
Seiyuufags aren't necessarily fujos and can't account for the entire fanbase. Osomatsu really appealed to fujos purely on a shipping and husbando level, judging by the sheer volume of content they've been churning out. It's fair to say people can't predict what they like, because it's easy to assume they want perfect bishounen when really they can be just as enamoured with degenerate muppet NEETs.

I'm curious though, how does this happen? Do they sit in the catalog every week and mark all threads that hit the bump limit so they can make troll threads and shitpost the next week? If it's not one bored guy behind 100 proxies then that means they're being instructed to target this show from another board.
>>146964901
It's quite easy to identify the potential shows to shitpost about ahead of the season. Nobody would give much of a shit about a show like Regalia or Scar-red Rider Xechs, but this show was an obvious candidate for deepfags to watch.
