>RE:Zero 'TV Anime's Sequel' is in the Nov

That's fine, the anime ended on a decent note.

>>147438407
NOOOOOOOOO

I wish White Fox would milk some of their successful productions harder. Re:Zero and Devil is a parttimer more than sold well enough for second seasons.

Anyone who thought they'd make a S2 while not including the clifffhanger ending is dumb as fuck.

Was clear they're done with this show.

Even if they planned a second season, it wouldn't be ready for at least a year+ so this doesn't preclude a S2 happening. Just that if one did happen, it wouldn't be directly following the events of S1. Most likely.

Who cares? The anime sucked balls, I don't give two fucks about learning what happens to Rem in a coma.

These really shouldn't be allowed to be called books. Books are associated with a kind of quality. Light novels are garbage.

Why would I read light novels when I could real proper novels? I watch anime and read manga because I like Japanese cartoons and comics. I don't do it because I like the "fantastic" source material.

>>147440641

What did they mean by this?

>>147440149
I'm not picking up shit. Fuck you and fuck this never ending trend of half-assed adaptations that don't finish shit and expect you to read whatever source.
I'm here to watch anime, I want a complete anime.
You faggots shit on Aniplex for milking Monogatari(which is true in regards of the movie bullshit), but at least it didn't stop at Bake.

If you're going to kill off anime originals in favor of adaptations then at least put effort into it.

Are you pretending to be retarded, or are you retarded? We are watching anime and reading manga because we want to watch anime and read manga, not because we want to read shitty Japanese literature. If we wanted to read literature we'd read superior literature from our own country or from classics or whatever.

God weeaboos who adore their shitty LNs never fail to amaze me. Anime and manga is interesting, but your shitty LNs are not. They're garbage. Keep your shit in /jp/. There's a reason we have a weeaboo board for shitty weeaboos.

A-1 promised to continue animating SAO for 20 more years as of 2015. They later clarified that they would continue to adapt it for as long as Reiki continued to write the series. No matter how long that turns out to be.

Literally, I am not even exaggerating. Season 3 comes out soon, they're going to start adapting Alicization.

Anime is a long ass commercial for the source material. Every anime has that purpose. The main purpose of anime in the first place is to get you to go out, buy the manga/LN/whatever and get invested in the series from where it started. The animation studio doesn't give two fucks if you want another season or not, they already got their money to promote the series.

>>147444714

Idiots like you are a riot. You are too dumb to learn a new language despite listening to it several hours a day, yet you still try to feel superior by name-calling the people who were actually able to learn Japanese. You're worse losers than the losers you're making fun of.

>>147444772
But for Aniplex, they clearly care more about BD sales than source material boosts. That's why you should hope they do LN adaptations, it's very easy to see if it'll get another season. If the discs sell well, there'll be a S2, and if they don't, then bye-bye.

>>147442012

Comparing playing guitar to learning Japanese is pants on head retarded. Learning Japanese is useless knowledge you can't use for anything, and won't give you any better enjoyment of the medium. I'd rather watching paint dry than learn Japanese. At least I'll learn how paint dry, that'd be useful in some occations at least.

If you are willing to keep it up, you will be fine. At least get down hiragana and katakana. Those will help ya lot with manga because there are yomigana next to the kanji in most manga.

You know not everyone on /a/ has 130+ IQ like most people here and can learn superfast

Normal people with iqs in the 90s have a more difficult time

Ok I just finished watching the final episode.

Yes I obviously know about the spoiler. But I really honestly think that they ended it in a good part.

It's like this, if this was an original anime, that would have been one of the best endings we would have seen for a show. But it wasn't. It was an adaptation. Which means there are obvious things that still needs to be addressed, and it shows.

Still, with the spoiler, it WAS STILL a great ending, it's just it was marred by people knowing what will happen next and wanted that. Very understandable.

Let's face it though. White Fox and Kadokawa didn't know it was going to be THIS big of a deal. Yes Kadokawa bet so much on it, but they didn't wholly bet on the series. Pretty understandable on a business perspective.

Now though, they really got the attention of a whole lot of viewers. I saw what the JPs are saying and the majority of them are saying "We are expecting a season 2." Not "waiting", "expecting". They must know that they can sell fuck loads of merchandise with this now or even the books. THEY SURELY MUST KNOW.

It was a good show. 8.5 something / 10 for me. For me, it would be kinda dumb for Kadokawa not to greenlit a second season in a few years when the LNs have enough leeway for a new season to be adapted.

Really guys, let's not fight anymore about this. At least we finished a ride that didn't dangle stuff in front of our faces that may not even happen.

>>147438804

Is this is your first anime based on ongoing manga/LN? Anime based on something is trash most of time. It's only exist for advertising superior material. Sure WhiteFox like making Re:zero and put some soul in it, but they can't do anything. Sponsor decide what to do. Anime based on LN and there is no LN material.

Asking this again

Will there be actual novel threads for Re Zero after the anime discussion dies down (2 weeks at most given the ending)?

>>147447419
WN = draft of the author for his stories. This is where he does his trials for the story and sees what works and what doesn't. Self-published.

LN = the edited form of the author's story. Basically this is now the "true" version of his story, he saw what works in the WN version, sees what the people are criticizing about it and worked to make it better for release.

I just think it's kinda strange.

Is this yours? Most adaptations of ongoing LN that don't belong to Dengeki get second seasons/continuations if the anime sells relatively well and the author is enthusiastic about it. The most recent examples are KonoSuba, Saekano and Yahari. In Re: Zero's case, they just need to wait for more source material. ~2 years between seasons is practically nothing.

Not that I liked this crap, I'm just tired of seeing anime end partially finished because they're too pussy to come up with an original anime or animate the rest of a light novel - or the light novel is too long because the authors don't know how to end a good thing instead of dragging it to it's death.

>>147446651
I'm ESL, though, so I know how abysmal all translations are.

Even when it comes to the most popular books, movies and games that get the best translators there is a pretty big difference between the original and the translation.

Anyways, yesterday I spent sobering five minutes comparing the official localization of Kino no Tabi with the original. Before that I thought the Polish translators were bad, but now I know that nothing can compare with you chucklefucks.

Removing and adding whole sentences, changing what Kino says and does to make her seem more "cute". It kinda feels like the translator was a failed writer, trying to better the source material with his asinine ideas.

Retarded as always I see.

Can someone explain to me why these types of series that are really famous both, outside and inside of Japan don't continue for more than 12-25 episodes?

I mean, I get that they need to take a break but why do they instead go and make another school harem or wannabe [insert good anime here]?

I'm sorry if that is a newfag question but I started to watch anime some months ago and always see the same thing.

>>147446859
Spanish is my first language, I really don't know why someone should want to learn it. The only good thing we have is spanish literature, but other than that we only have shit tier music, movies, and don't even mention games (the good ones are translated).

>>147449269
Anime is promotionals for the source material. As long as this anime makes the light novels sell, it has made it's purpose.

Anime is more or less dead. Only a few studios make original anime that can stand on it's own.

>>147449269
Costs way too much to make a show. You get good deals making shows to advertise other stuff, but you don't get much gain from actually following through and finishing it, considering the source often goes on for years on end, if not decades

So, unless the show ends up selling like hot cakes to the point that a sequel would be a sure-fire hit, you move on to the next one.

>>147449357
Because there's a lot of nice coutries that speak Spanish? Only German language country is more more or less Germany. Only French is worse to learn.

>>147449269
Money don't grow on trees, and after the initial sellings, its quite rare for a show to sell more, so its safer to invest in a show with fresh merchandising and will sell more volumes than the former would have in one increase.

You need to shill your other products too.

How the fuck does this line up? If anything not having English as your mother tongue is going to make it harder to notice when writing feels like shit in English. That's why like 90% of fan LN translations read like shit, the people writing them are esls with no sense of English prose (or sense of what a spoken conversation between two native English speakers sounds like, for dialogue).
That said the official Kino translation was a mess with the random lines added in. I have no idea why they did that. Just retarded.

Learning English as a second language doesn't mean being incompetent at it, you're just biased because most people who learn English as a second language (which is most people, period) happen to have low proficiency at it. That's just normal. Most native English speakers also write like shit too.

Depends if you mean "translation fuckups " in the vein of not transliterating wasei eigo 1:1 or dropping honourifics (this is the majority of complaints), or actually making translation fuckups like adding whole new lines that weren't there originally, writing while clearly not understanding the meaning of the sentence in Japanese, or going off in a completely different tone from the Japanese.

>>147450127
I think you're the one who's completely missing the point. The point is that learning language as a second language doesn't mean being incompetent at English or being unable to tell when English is badly written. That's just called being a shitty learner.

>The majority of ESLs being shit writers in English, as you say

I don't think you can learn to use a language completely unless you use it verbally in a native English speaking country.

>>147451212
It depends on how you use it.

If you use a language to shitpost everyday, you'll get better at writing in that language.

If you listen to it every day, you'll get better at listening comprehension.

If you read it every day, you'll get better at reading comprehension.

If you speak it every day, you'll get more fluent at speaking.

I'm not an authority on anything. But native speakers butcher the language just as much as non-native ones.

>>147451410
I met two of them irl though. It really is a strange coincidence.

>>147451038
Because mistakes are so blatant and so frequently done by ESLs that the only conclusion I can reach is that ESLs are just generally inferior writers of English than native English speakers. Personally I think this makes sense because even more advanced ESLs are going to have less exposure to the language than most natives. When natives make shit prose it's usually because of redundancy or blandness. When ESLs make shit prose it's usually because of hilarious word choice errors, choppy sentence rhythm, mindfuck grammar, phrasing that simply doesn't sound legitimate, no sense of tone. I'm sure natives can manage the latter type of fuckups too but not without being drunk, being actually uneducated, or trying for it if they want to stand on par with ESLs.

>>147452149
I'll give you choppy sentence rhythm, phrasing and tone since those are actually issues with how a sentence "sounds" in your head when you read it. Grammar and vocabulary are however, assessed rather harshly in any reputable ESL exam, I don't think you'll find many ESL who have a high IELTS/TOEFL/Cambridge score who suck at grammar or vocabulary.

>>147452149
The thing is that most native English speakers don't have a reason to write something that you would like to read. They're unlikely to be translators because most native English speakers are monolingual, and they're unlikely to be published unless they have actual writing skills. If you want to read shitty English by native speakers, go look up random fanfiction or the like.

By the way, you underestimate how learning a language can give you a better grasp of a language's grammar, or how much exposure to English there's on the web.

There's also the chance that many translators may not have a good grasp of English but still be motivated to write in it due to the larger readerbase that it would entail.

>>147452149
Just to chime in on this: errors common among native speakers typically fall within the category errors in formal standardization of the language, which is to say that they are writing in a colloquially valid voice that's only incorrect insofar as it deviates from the standard.

Those kinds of "mistakes" are common among native-speakers of any language, and are most typically the product of a conscientious style-choice rather than a generalized ignorance or failure to grasp the language. Subtleties, like the tonally appropriate context to write in a conversational manner, are the sort of thing that can tend you be lost on non-fluent readers who are a little too eager to justify their own lack of linguistic competence.

The fact that some teenage girl makes Facebook posts in ebonics or that your father doesn't bother to distinguish their and there when texting how disappointed he is in you aren't grounds to excuse non-fluency as aneeded acceptable standard.

>>147451821
Especially so because only like 200 a year are allowed to major in Japanese in the whole country. And most fail the first year, so there aren't a lot of us.

>>147452149
As an ESL I agree whit what you've said. But I must said that when I'm in an environment were I only listen, speak, and write in English I tend to be more smooth in my word choice and I also tend to notice errors more easily. But right now since I'm visiting my parents and friends which only talk Spanish my sentences probably don't sound as good as a mediocre native speaker.

Grammar and vocab are important but so are how you actually use them when writing prose. I don't know how english exams assess vocab, but using a word with the wrong nuance can make or break a sentence. Unless the exams assess you so that you're familiar enough with the word to consistently use it in harmonious contexts or sentences, even if you know the word and what it means, you're in danger of making a hilarious mistake.
Grammarwise, I don't doubt that advanced-level ESLs know their grammar. Thing is I have to wonder if they know it too well. Personally, I find breaking grammar important for getting across your tone, but when you have Cambridge exams slammed thick into you I have to wonder if it's difficult to be confident about breaking the rules. So then you can come off sounding robotic or generic in text (this can super-fuck character dialogue). Then on the flipside you have low-level ESLs who just don't know the grammar and so make fuckups different from the natural-sounding fuckups a native would make.

It's advertisement for the light novels. If they will adapt further or not it depends on the higher ups decision, but they'd need more light novels to come out to adapt arc 4 to a reasonable spot, so they can adapt it.

>>147453119
Cambridge english exams can't really be done at the C1/C2 level like some sort of grammarbot, they know asians that have memorized the Oxford Dictonary of English Grammar by heart but can't actually use the language take the exam. The speaking section weeds those people out, since a simple misunderstanding or awkwardness can be enough to fail you. You're teamed up with another candidate and basically have to fool the examiner into thinking you're not an ESL for 30 minutes. The smallest fuckup can make you fail the section, and you have to pass all sections to pass the exam.

Advanced level ESLs might not be able to write the most natural sounding conversations as composition isn't really tested that harshly, even at the highest level the writing section is focused on a few kinds of formats like letters and opinion essays instead of being more free-form. But if you come across a LN that not only seems to have awkwardly written conversations, but also has shitty grammar and words used with the wrong nuance, the person writing it is probably a nip that isn't very good at English translating it for some ad cash and not some non-nip ESL who also knows nip doing it.

you do realize that EOP are not the audience of this show, so you should stop complaining about these kinds of endings

It's more like it's a shingeki situation.
It performed extremely well for them but there's just not enough material for another 25 episodes yet.
Expect movie adaptions that cover 8 episodes each, a couple of chibi spin off anime, and a slice of life side series that focuses on the queen candidates :^)

webnovels dont have editors so its usually pure unfiltered garbage, most of the shit that happens in WN get edited out when they become LN

>>147447419
anime made from webnovels almost always are terrible.

How long do you wager it'll take for the manga to catch up to where the anime ended?

>>147440959

that's because making anime is expensive, and animator don't even get paid the amount they should get

Re zero is a lot more gruesome in the WN then the LN. Also, Re zero as a novel is surprisingly good. Honestly felt chills reading the interlude when Regulus the archbishop of greed just lifted his arm and cleaved the ground and air in 2, while also severing Crusch's arm. There is tons more blood too; a carriage full of wounded people turned into a mist of blood through the absolute defence and offence of greed. Ley the archbishop of gluttony is pretty batshit like Betelguese, but he's definitely more formidable than he was. I wager if it was Ley they were facing Subaru would lose a lot more. If it were Regulus it would have been impossible even with millions of reinforcements; you'd need Satella/Reinhard tier characters to beat him.

Doesn't matter. Ended nicely, without any cliffhanger, which was surprising since everyone was just waiting for a fucked ending.

I was waiting for the despair ending. I didn't like the anime ending. Fuck it.

They going to animated as extended version of episode 25 in the Bd or as the first episode if they make a S2.

Why would anyone want S2 of this? It all ended on a very good note despite its background and the usual spoiled ending the sourcefags give. There's no cliffhanger, which should be appreciated more for a series that's probably already a hit, based on how there's always a lot of threads and shitposting on it. I was imagining this being milked so hard with massive cliffhanging, more despair, and even more Toyota despair.

Anime flopped and source material got just a decent enough boost. They don't want to risk it with a second season. Very smart move.

Nothing. EOPs and animeonlyfags love to bitch about LNs and say that they all fucking suck, meanwhile they beg moonreaders to spoonfeed them spoilers all the time while said moonreaders are reading whatever LN they happen to enjoy with no fucks given.

Eh. It was a wild ride, but I'm sure I won't be missing it. Certainly not worth picking up the LNs. This show was enjoyable in a melodramatic spectacle kind of way. Bad pacing is bearable in an anime, but it's a nightmare in awkwardly translated prose.

>>147461986
Yea I feel the best option is to cut losses and pretend the end of the anime is where the story ends.

>Anime flopped

>>147461986
The hype kind of ruined it for me. I thought it was average, but the amount of shilling and massively exagerrated amount of threads kind of ruined it for me. How it managed to become so popular is beyond my understanding. I can't figure out any other reason than that it was massively shilled.

>>147461749
A book is a physical object, the quality of its contents have no bearing on whether the object is classified as a book or not.

>>147462133
Subaru can appear alpha because he gets as many do-overs as needed.

>>147461986
Exactly my thoughts. I'll be glad to keep watching if they make another season, but I don't think I liked it enough to spend time reading the LNs.

>>147462187
Westerners love fantasy. And they love shows that have deaths in them, because that way, they can pretend that it's more mature than normal mainstream anime that is for kids.

Thank god the anime had a satisfying conclusion then.

>>147461208
Eh typically if you enjoyed the story, and know there's a ton more of it to come, you'd like to see the rest. The ending was good and gave some closure, but knowing there's 6 other archbishops to be fought, and very little is still known about Satella, and why the MC has his power, how he got to that world, or why Satella wants him is still a mystery I'd like to find out. Not to mention Roswall's part in all of it, how he's using the MC for his own gain, what Betty's part in all this is, how the royale selection will turn out, etc. etc.
Really this anime could have over a hundred episodes easy, and it's unfortunate that the anime was pushed out before they had enough materials to start additional seasons, else we'd probably have them.

I really don't see how that confirms S2 never. Hyping up the novels means they've given up on adapting them? You guys are just overreacting and making massive assumptions based on very little information. As per the usual with /a/.

>>147440770
>These really shouldn't be allowed to be called books. Books are associated with a kind of quality. Light novels are garbage.

Anon, I've published two books on Amazon. There's no quality needed. Just about 40 bucks worth of purchasing ISBNs. It's cheaper than 40, but you can buy them in bulk for less.

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever from a buisness standpoint. Why are they giving up on something that would just print money for them?

>>147462269
>And they love shows that have deaths in them, because that way, they can pretend that it's more mature than normal mainstream anime that is for kids.
There's a kernel of truth here.

Western entertainment suffers greatly from the fetishization of conflict. If your main cast isn't constantly suspecting, betraying, and back-stabbing each other then your show can't be complex and mature. There's no such thing as camaraderie movies anymore, where the good guys are actually on the same side and don't have to constantly have over-the-top conflicts with each other. There used to be war movies where the good guys worked toward a common goal. They may have butted heads, but they were on the same side. Compare Star Wars, where your leads grow to be friends by the end of the first movie and then just spend the rest of the trilogy supporting each other, to The Avengers, where your leads are artificially thrown together and then gradually tear apart. Yes this is cherry-picking, but it's been the general trend for the last twenty years.

Honestly I blame the whole brony debacle on the west's fetishization of conflict. Friendship is magic? Maybe if our media had more positive portrayals of friendship and camaraderie then young men wouldn't be driven to pony cartoons for tiny little babies. This is why stuff like Avatar:TLA became so popular, and why the sequel didn't. This is why something with a bunch of bros like Stranger Things feels so novel. And I strongly suspect that it's part of the reason I often find anime so refreshing. Because it isn't a slave to those banal Hollywood fads.

I feel like I got on a wild ride that stopped entirely too soon. No way am I'm gonna read the books, I don't have time for that.

Truer words, /a/non.

>>147462824
Yea, no where does it confirm there won't be a season 2. They're just using the hype/fanbase created by the anime to try to get people to buy the novels. That does not mean they won't make another season once there is enough material.
It'll be at least 1-2 years.

>>147462366
While I somewhat agree with you (the last point is a half truth) I don't see why you're bringing this up out of the blue.

Pointless arguments like these are tiring enough in /his/, don't bring them to /a/ too.

>>147462922
Did create some fantastic memes though.

Yeah, ruling out an obviously valuable marketing tool for no reason is totally nonsensical from a business perspective.

IIRC, the anime covers vols. 1- 8 of the LN?

>>147462678
>knowing there's 6 other archbishops to be fought
I thought there'd be only 5 others, given that MC is supposed to be Pride.

It covers all the way to chapter 5 of volume 9, after that i needs 2 interludes and 1 final chapter to finish arc 3.
