Anyone else looking forward to Drifters?
It's just Akame ga Kill all over again. Edgy teenagers will love it.
>>147709397
>Akame ga Kill all over again
>>147709397
3/10 I laughed
>>147709101
I do, even though i know it`ll be major disappointment production quality wise.
Mostly waiting for OST, since already read the manga.
I just hope we get to Sky God and his army of cat and dog people.
>>147709101
>manga is slow,then speeds up cause anime
>eventually scanlation give up cause they cannot compete
>never knowing what the manga ending is,and only having the shit anime ending and waste of time.
I've been hurt to much,and to many times senpai.
>>147711261
It won't be like Hellsing all over again, Anon. I'm certain, they wouldn't do that to us again
>>147711450
>It won't be like Hellsing all over again
Sure, this time the protagonist at least has a potential love interest.
>>147709101
Joan d'arc best girl as always
>>147709397
Good. Maybe Nips will stop being beta as fuck now.
>>147713358
Who?
Looking forward to the unapologetic edge and moefag tears.
>>147709101
Only new show I'm watching next season the rest is moeshit
>>147709101
Crossboarders sure are
>>147713358
So even if it's entertaining I'm still guaranteed to like it less than Hellsing. Gotcha.
>>147709101
Pretty much the only show I'm for sure watching.
>>147713649
>he only goes on /a/
I feel sorry for you
>>147713710
That's not what crossboarder means
>>147713358
but they are both men
>>147713589
>Who?
Joan d'arc.
>>147713845
I'm talking about the holy virgin.
>>147713873
>>147713914
That's not really a love interest.
>>147714017
It was hinted that she harbors some feeling for him.
>>147714235
When?
>>147714594
When she wake up after being drown by him.
>>147714838
Wan't she just pissed?
>>147709609
I dunno. The OVA that was released like a month ago (which is basically episodes 1 and 2 of the TV show stuck together into a single OVA) looked quite good
>>147709397
Almost got me that time, here have another (you).
>>147715208
It's called tsundere.
>>147715208
Hard to tell with that looney little thing. I will say she looked a little wet in more ways than just the one after he pulled her out of the well and was eyeing her up. Though I doubt it'll actually happen it would be cute to see Joan crushing on bloodthirsty yet honorable samurai warlord.
>>147715500
Ye but he's beheadingsexual
>>147715533
Nothing will ever top the joy of slaughtering and decapitating wave after wave of armed men for him, but bear in mind he's also a hardcore traditionalist who values women and children outside of the battlefield, and refusing to take a wife could be seen dishonorbru to the pride of his clan. Or something like that. As far as I was aware most feudal warlords had several women and many children.
>>147714235
>scourge of god
>romantic feelings
Good joke
>>147709397
If anything, it's gonna be GATE all over again, except with Samurai instead of SDF servicepersons
I think it'll be bad but I'll watch the first episode.
>>147716502
It's a classic trope. The haughty girl is defeated by the MC, then later falls for him. It's too predictable.
Yasushi Ishii better be working on the OST. I'm still waiting on a full version of the song from the PV from ages ago.
>>147716775
He is working on the OST alongside Matsuo Hayato

Sounds interesting, is it an op mc?
>>147709397
fuck off moefag
>>147717775
Not really, he just runs at things and swords. He uses resources pretty cleverly so he can sword more.
Pilot ep was pretty good
How much stuff will be added to those ovas for tv broadcast?
Thinking if I should either wait and go with the flow or start watching now.
>>147709101
>tfw they won't include the language barrier from the manga
Hope it will boost motivation to make more lewds of Jean.
>>147718990
In the OVA the elves and Toyohisa couldn't understand each other.
>>147717466
I'd like to see it before the heat death of the universe if that's alright.
>>147719301
Well, then ignore my complaint.
Instead I'll complain how they won't keep the character's respective language to emphasize the language barrier.
>>147719408
But didn't Olminu give them magical auto-translate tabs?
I remember Yoichi being miffed about this because it meant all the time he spent trying to learn elvish was a waste.
>>147719647
I just mean, it would give the anime-adaption a cool note, if it used actual multiple languages.
Auto-translate shit always feels so fucking lazy.Also those Yoichi-pics do things to my thingie.
>>147719810
In the OVA the elves and humans were speaking some fake ass gibberish, you never hear any of the ends but we'll see.tfw had to delete my Yoichi pics because of reasons and this is all I've got.
>>147719810
In the OVA, only Toyohisa, Nobu and Yoichi spoke Japanese. The elves and knights spoke some made up language (with jap subs on the left side of the screen)
To anyone who has read the manga, do any of the drifters besides the main trio get much screen time?
>>147720257
Yeah they get a good amount of screen time, except for Butch and Kid.
>>147720447
>except butch and kid
fuck
>>147719810
Why is he solewd
>>147718990
> girl who looks like a dude
>>147719406
> dude who looks like a girl
>>147718990
they created a whole other language for the fantasy world inhabitants. I was surprised it happened.
>>147720613
>>147720661
Wait, wait, is Yoichi a guy? Really?That's so hot
>>147720661
> girl who looks like a dude
Drifters Jeanne is CUTE.Batshit insane boyish Jeanne is really interesting compared to how she has always been portrayed in any other media and series
She's prime bullying material.
>>147720661
Gotta cover all the bases.
>>147721066
There's also a girl with glasses and big tits and a stoic cake.
>>147720993
Well, it makes more sense for a girl looking like this to lead a bunch of unruly bearded men than in those portrayals though.
>>147720993
The real Jeanne Of Arc was allegedly a tomboy with some rocking tits judging from historical accounts.
>>147721270
>stoic cake
anastasia is 17
>>147721326
Didn't say the opposite, it totally makes sense, just that this kind of portrayal pretty much never happens usually.
>>147721486
>rocking tits
>>147721541
> anastasia is 17
She was? Damn.
> Jeanne was 19
Well shit, I learnt something today.
>>147721590
Boy is that some ye olde "too pure not for lewding?"
>>147721590
What does it means?
>>147721552
>We should learn from the Japs about history
>>147721657
>>147721669
She didn't have any sexual appeal. Meaning she was flat.
>>147718435
1-5 minutes added maybe.
>>147722016
So Hirano did do his research?
>>147718435
>>147722446
Nothing, it should be exactly the same as the first two episodes, except the OAV doesn't have the opening and ending, and it's in lower quality.
>>147721657
>>147721669
butterface
>>147722559
If they did the 1st two episode two month ago, then they must be ahead in their production. There shouldn't be a lot of QUALITY or none.
>>147722989
Get some taste.
>>147709397
Read the manga before talking, also kys.
>>147718990
>Hope it will boost motivation to make more lewds of [s]Jean[/s] olminipples.
fixed it
>>147723080
That's exactly what they said about akame ga kill as well.
>>147723362
>>147709397
You should compare it with Hellsing which begun in 1998 not with akame ga kill from 2010.
>>147723362
Now you're just making shit up, faggot. Everyone has always said both versions are cancer.

Autism is hard on you isn't it?
>>147725712
I don't get what you're implying but ok.
Is the manga any good?
Hellsing ultimate has the most amazing visuals ive seen in anime. however, it took them about 7 year to finish 10 episodes of hellsing.
this has 12 plannes ep. you think it will take even longer?
>>147726642
Hellsing Ultimate was a set of OVAs while Drifters is just going to be a TV series so it will take as long as a regular 12 episode series to air.
>>147726688
Nice, thanks.
>>147709101
Trailer looked sick as fuck, I'm excited
>>147720661
>>147720993
To be fair, the historic Jeanne D'arc use to crossdress to protect her virginity, and was kind of a dyke because she knew how to ride and did all kind of manly things, like sparring.
She didn't fight to not hurt people, but still, she was far away from prudish and timid.
>>147722016
That's the opposite of what that quote suggests.
>>147725712
Go to any kendo school and ask them for the proper way to grip a sword.
One hand at the bottom, separate from the other which should be right below the hilt. This way you can use both hands to manipulate the sword as if it were a lever, with one hand working as fulcrum, increasing the range of potential movements, without sacrificing strength.
>>147709101
I look forward to people calling it a SNK ripoff even if it came before.
>>147728130
>SNK ripoff
They're literally nothing alike, who the fuck is going to think that.
>>147724096
Olminipples
>>147727794
Do you see a katana on OP-picture, you disgusting pseudo-kendouka-weeb?
Do you know that you can use different grips even for a fucking badminton rocket?
>>147728445
The uniform, the speed and use of the thin sword.
Retards don't need more to spew their venom.
>>147728726
Katanas are all SnK references now?
Not to mention his is as large as his body.
>>147728445
There were people who called Code Geass a Death Note rip off. Idiots who've only seen a handful of shows only need one or two superficial similarities to claim rip off.
>>147728860
>>147728826
Fucking claymore and pacific rim got called SnK ripoffs, the former because muh lost technology, the later because muh giant wall to protect ourselves against giant monsters.
Anyone else see this and think that it looks like the art style of the Hellsing OVA, but with far, far less frames drawn?
Reminder that God himself is behind the anime OST.
>>147728986
Indeed, it's a TV series.
>>147728629
>katana
No one said it was and doesn't change the fact his grip is shit.
>badminton
Terrible choice for an analogy.
>>147709101

>>147724419
>>147724542
>>147725712
>>147727794
>>147728629
Toyohisa looks like he's gripping in that form to put all his strength into one strike. With that grip on the katana, it can be used to put the initiative but it's reckless as it put the speed of maneuver and yourself at risk from being able to counter. His style of course is not recommended within the long run of battles with a sword. Stronger, but leaves more holes.
>>147728629
>>147728629
It's about leverage you dimwit. Sure you can hold your sword any way you please, but to be a good swordsman, you're going to hold it in a way that gives you the best performance. If you have your hands separated you get more leverage than putting them together, this is a fact. Go read something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yufA8GVmmRo
>>147718990
Do NOT lewd La Pucelle!
>>147730116
But even if you wanted to put your strength into one strike, hands together doesn't give you any leverage and probably isn't as strong a strike.
Y'all nigga's trying to make sense of dis weeaboo sword bullshit?
plz

It's neither. It's simple physics.

>>147709101
I'll probably watch it through the fight with Joan and Gilles, then lose interest like I did with the manga.
>>147716775
ME NO TOSHITE
FEEEEL IT
SONO NAKA DE
>>147717858
Oda is more the resource guy, IMO.
>>147718990
>TFW Hirano just combined characters to get new designs.
When will he stop ripping himself off?
What are elves for?
>>147737736
Not for raping, or Toyo will fuck your shit up.
Doesn't Toyohisa have a wife?
>>147730116
In the manga Toyohisa admits his sword style is basically 'kill them with your opening blow'. He tries to teach the elves and one asks what happens if their opponent isn't dead Toyohisa says 'prepare for a glorious death'. Essentially it is a kamikaze like attack, putting all strength into an opening blow and hoping it will kill the enemy.
>>147713358
But Hellsing had a love story.
>>147739985
Robber #2 and Mrs Victoria's corpse OTP!
>>147729156
Disgusting cowtit shit.
>>147740037
Don't obtuse. Seras and Pip kiss, are together forever. Integra and Alucard are a de facto couple. She even bit her ring finger.
>>147740265
I know, I'm just grabbing your goat.
But seriously, "Another time, another place" is the epitome of "well, it could never work anyway".
The count and "countess" have the same problem.
>>147740375
Love stories don't always have to end in marriage and rainbows they're still valid. Pip and Seras are literally eternal soulmates now anyway.
