Someone hyped for SukaSuka? 11 april is coming...

so like, is it good

I want to, but they'll probably fuck it up

Everyone's hype for it
or we would be if they would actually release the goddamn PV.

Oh well have the ED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk0L3P3hSv4

>>155094845
>I want to, but they'll probably fuck it up
Hope not

>>155094845
Will watch, but not expecting too much

will probably watch only for her

>>155094845
Her legs look thin. Almost like an ant.

>>155095002
Yes it's great. Strong contender for AOTS

>LNtrash
>good

>>155094845
I'm not. Promotional art looked really bad and the lack of pv isn't encouraging.

Is not this LN that nips said not to put to much hope because only early chapters are good then it went shit. I also remember nips said it sold pretty good for first volume around 20-30k or something, after that it can not even sell a 10k

>>155096590
The PVs actually finished, they played it at Anime Japan apparently. It just hasn't been publicly released yet.

Why does that character look like a cancer patient?

>>155097737
Cancer patients are never that cute.

It works fine if you don't know Japanese I guess.

>The series is set in a world where humans have been driven to extinction by "Beasts." The duty of fighting the Beasts fall to "Fairies," who are destined to use their powers to wield "Holy Swords" called "Kariyon" and eventually meet their destiny of death. A sole human being named Willem wakes up after several hundred years, and continues his fight against the Beasts. The series follows the everyday and transient lives of the leader Willem and the female fairy warriors.

I would like to be hyped, but they aren't making it easy.

>>155101391
The soundtrack is so beautiful.

>>155101743
Might want to think twice about this, they are in for the kind of suffering that would make the cruelest man alive recoil in horror.

>>155101391
Now if only it was a full adaptation.

How much suffering in this show?

>>155102929
too much

So what is this about?

>>155102929
The world was destroyed 500 years and the MC just sat there and turned to stone as the last human alive. Now these girls are still trying to beat the beasts that destroyed the world, only way to do so is for them to auto destruct, and even then that won't actually kill the beasts so it's just an endless cycle of exploding girls.

>>155102647
Is the the pure suffering version of Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden?

0:22 Right now, I am lending a hand to the end of these girls' lives.
0:30 The ephemeral and heartrending story of the girls known as 'fairy weapons' and a surviving Quasi Brave.
0:35 Mysterious monsters known as the 'Beasts' rampaged across the land, raining destruction upon many races, including the humans
0:43 The few races who barely managed to survive fled the land and made a new home atop floating islands in the sky, in a place called Regul Aire
0:49 500 years later, up in the sky, Willem Kumesh awakes, only to discover he was unable to protect anyone or anything he fought for
0:56 On top of that, the despair of knowing he is the only one of his kind who survived causes him to live the lonely life of a recluse.
1:03 But one day he stumbles upon a new job, not thinking much of it, and meets a group of girls.
1:47 Kutori Nota Seniolis. A fairy soldier. The girl capable of wielding the strongest holy sword.
1:55 But, in exchange for such power, her life is determined to be thrown away in the end.
2:03 Just as she comes to terms with her fate, she meets the young man named Willem, falls for him, and begins to change...
2:13 The heartbreaking feeling they all feel every time she heads off to the battlefield...
2:20 How will the story of this strong, yet ephemeral "Heroine of the End" conclude?
2:27 Is it okay to want to live on?
2:31 Is it really okay to have a wish like that?

What are you, a little girl?

That's how it starts, you get baited into thinking it's going to be x then by some retarded jap logic it goes full y.

>>155104298
No, I'm a lolicon who can't bear to see cute little girls suffer.

>>155104256
Yes

its like watching your daughters go to a war and you wait on a tree stump waiting for them to return but they dont

>>155104303
I'd take PV over summary, because latter always inaccurate, good way or bad way.

Thanks anon, reads much better than the other shitty synopsis.

LNs are the easiest for adaptation unlike VNs. look at konosuba or mahouiku

Actually it's in the official site.
Yeah i mean in english.
http://sukasuka-anime.com/news/index00050000.html
I am now lending a helping hand for the girls’ ending.
This is an ephemeral and wistful story of girls called “fairy weapons” and a surviving “quasi-brave.”
In the world after the land is trampled down by unidentified monsters “beasts” and many tribes including human beings are destroyed, the tribes who have barely survived leave the land and are living in the flying archipelago called “regles-aile”
Willem-Kmetsch, waking up in the sky 500 years later, has lived like a hermit in despair, because he could not protect what he wanted to, or even worse, has survived alone when all others died. In the meantime, he encounters some girls through the job of weapon maintenance that he has started unexpectedly.
Chtholly-Nota-Seniorious is one of the fairy soldiers, a girl who can wield the strongest holy sword. In return, she is eventually doomed to lose her life. Having accepted such a fate, she starts to change her mind by encountering and becoming attracted to a young man Willem-Kmetsch. Nevertheless, she leaves for the battlefield, which is heart-wrenching.
What kind of ending will be waiting for this strong, but fragile “end-of-the-world heroine?”
Would it be alright if I wished to stay alive?
Would it be really alright if I had such a dream?

So it's actually kind of good?

>>155104278
>muh feels
Moogy is a fucking retard.
This is the kind of shit that makes LNs look bad.

The LN author of this series is also Summon Night series writer anyway.

>>155104508
not really., its everyone got cancer and is MC is a useless cripple type of series

>>155104322
My nigger

>>155104526
Who is Mogy and why should I care?

>>155104508
The source material is alright. It's still an LN though so don't get tricked by the usual "This one is different! Muh feels! My heartbreakings!".

The good thing about this LN is that it has a clear story, with a beginning and an end. It wasn't made to run eternally, chaining pointless arcs of slice of life.
There will technically be a ton of speculation and discussion to have.

>>155104557
>>155104625
Sounds alright to me.

>>155104625
So you're saying, this one is actually different?

>>155104247
Not to mention the psychological torture when their past lives start to corrupt their memories.

>>155104625
Just wait for the spoilerfags to ruin everything.

>>155104660
I'm saying it has some good things in it but it's still a light novel.

>>155101391
And this is where they spend the whole budget

>>155104624

>>155104705
>implying.
That's what he'd like to believe. He's a delusional retard. He's also so much of a literal obnoxious weeb he lowers VN scores when they're translated because he actually believes japanese is a superior language and translations make the experience worse
Unless he's involved with the translation. He's the only one who can translate while keeping the beauty, themes, symbolism and other stuff from the original japanese

>>155104774
Actually decent amount of people notice this show due to super late PV release.
Marketing strategy or accident luck? who knows.

>>155104674
>it's still a light novel
This tells me nothing. High School DxD, Full Metal Panic, Fate/Zero and Baccano! are all LNs and they have nothing in common

>>155104809
But translations make the experience worsey this is true for any medium

Who don't you guys just check author's other works.

http://kareno.moo.jp/info_works.html

>>155104837
High schoolers, teenage romance, magic, lolis, supernatural stuff. LNs all have rather similar themes and tropes.

>>155104905
So the same as anime?

>>155105016
Yes dumbo that's the point. Don't fall for memes and don't get your hopes up.

>>155105129
You're the meme, friendo.

>>155105129
>>155105348
Why not just be reasonable and stay moderately exited. Being overhyped for a show never works out, but we're all here because we like anime.And having anime tropes isn't always horrible anyways.

Is there a 100% complete list of VAs including side characters somewhere?

>>155104809
What has he even translated besides Dracuriot?

>>155105734
>Dracuriot?
he never translated it though, only Dra+Koi

I reccomend you to kill yourself
>>155105734
>dracu riot

Besides that?
I think he was involved with Demonbane's translation, but I'm not sure
He's also involved with Subahibi's translation

This seems interesting, but I'm a bit ambivalent when the set-up seems contrived specifically to make you cry.

>>155105992
You can't even understand english yet you call others retards.

Everyone fucking dies: The Light Novel

Stopped reading at vol 4 when mc dies. By the way, main girl dies in the 3rd one. Story still moves along with new batch of sacrificial fairies in the sequel.

>>155106041
You sound really desperate and out of arguments to defend your bullshit

>>155106070
Wait, the description is like your average Battle Harem. Tell me it is not like that.

>>155106027
>I'm a bit ambivalent when the set-up seems contrived specifically to make you cry.
It's really not the focus thouhh. The biggest part of the story is the mystery about what happened 500 years ago, along with the truth about the fairies, the beasts and the current world.

>>155106121
There's romance but it's not a harem.
There are some battles but not enough to call it a battle series.

>>155106183
Thanks, will give it a go then.

>>155106121
It really does sound like one, but everyone starts going to shit immediately and the ride doesn't end.

And also melancholic as hell.

>>155101391
Well shit. Did that cute red head die?

>>155106131
I'll give it a shot then.

>>155094845
Will this dethrone Re:Zero as the best LN adaptation ever made?

>>155106339
The one pointing the sword at MC? Yes.

I've been following this LN ever since it got translated. In my opinion, this is one of the rare gems you can find in the sea of garbage.

The story goes like as if the MC is an old veteran telling the tale of his struggle and battle together with his comrades during his prime. The premise is gloomy when portraying the individual’s unfortunate circumstances. Although, the built up between MC and the rest(Leprechauns mostly) eases these emotions by having a comfy and warm scenes before giving you a middle finger of tragedy and despair as the story progresses.

>>155106400
You spelled Baccano wrong, lad.

>>155106481
>Although, the built up between MC and the rest(Leprechauns mostly) eases these emotions by having a comfy and warm scenes before giving you a middle finger of tragedy and despair as the story progresses.
Sounds like my cup of shit. Picked up.

>>155106500
Baccano was a good anime, but a fucking awful adaptation.

>>155106400
It's basically Re:Zero at its core but better in every single way.

>>155094845
So what's up with the sword looking like it's busted, but it seems to work just fine?

>>155106547
Swords are made of multiple talismans / charms. They can be dismantled for adjustment and reconfiguration.

>>155106533
It's much better than the books, so you are wrong.

>>155106547
That weapon is called Kaliyons, A Kaliyon is made up of various talismans(each talismans has its own function and abilities) thus the look of becoming broken. These weapons are the reason why a person can have a footing against the 'beasts'.

>>155106646
>Kaliyons
Weebs will defend this.
Carillon looks and sounds much better and actually makes (kind of) sense.

>>155100687
>that english
Is that right or?

>>155106400
>Re:zero
Since that is your standard unfortunately this is not battle harem

>>155106276
I feel like I'm not going to be able to get attached to the characters in just a single cour. Feels bad man

>>155106121

What is the sequel about? New characters/setting?

>>155107028

Where do heroes go after they lost a war?

Kutori (Official name: Chtholly) is a girl who believes her only purpose in life is to be a weapon. A hero. She has no reason to live otherwise; everyone is depending on her and others to save the remaining population.

But she meets a real hero, Willem, who was trapped in stone, years after he and his Legal Brave comrades lost a war to save humanity. Now, the beasts have taken control of Earth and every surviving race has been forced to live up in the floating islands. Willem is tasked to take care of her and the other leprechauns, a race dedicated to combat the beasts threatening the world. They are mostly children and teenagers who are, for all purposes of the administration, walking weapons of mass destruction.

Yet, they are children foremost and all. The house feels more like an orphanage than an actual warehouse of weapons. He feels like a babysitter and that’s fine with him.

However, Willem wonders what he should do. It doesn’t feel right to just take care of children. He takes a special interest in the leprechauns ready to battle, particularly Kutori. Willem and Kutori hit it off well. They are both lonely people who think the world is more important than individuals.

When the beasts come, Kutori is ready to sacrifice her life and self-destruct if need be. But Willem asks her to promise him that she will return. He will be baking a butter cake for her when she comes home. She says yes and Wilhelm spends a lot of time waiting for her to return while practicing baking a butter cake.

He is in love with her and he can’t help but wait for her return. Someday, she will return and get to eat his butter cake. Until then, he shall have to wait. It is intolerable, painful, and exhausting. Maybe she won’t return. Maybe she will have to keep on fighting forever. Or maybe she will wind up dead, her body lost in the battlefield. But all Willem can do is bake another butter cake when the cake gets too stale.

>>155108153
Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka? Isogashii Desu ka? Sukutte Moratte ii Desu ka? (also referred as Sukasuka) examines what it truly means to be a hero. You don’t have to fight forever. Heroes are more than dragonslayers. They are real people trying to make a living in the midst of racial and political tensions. Even when the world is going to end soon, people still need to wake up from bed and cook food. Characters are described from a third-person narration, but the novels are never frightened to peek inside their thoughts through a very close first-person-like point of view and write out their small anxieties in a large world.

It is this everyday struggle the book focuses on. Taking care of children, falling in love, remembering how to bake a butter cake — all of this become important plot points as the series reveals more and more of the world. Each detail of the world makes living there more insufferable. But people have to live because that’s all they can do.

So there’s not much swordplay in the books. Magic isn’t too important either. Battles rarely exist at all. There are violence and lives lost throughout the books, but the series never glorifies them. It is the insufferable wait for someone’s return that the book focuses on instead. Living everyday lives against a post-apocalyptic fantasy world becomes the struggle of the series. It is why this series is seen as being quite special to many fans, including myself.

There aren’t many works I know personally that goes against the premises and conventions of the genre it is in. It doesn’t just criticize the messiah complex in heroes-and-villains narratives, but it blatantly ignores what would be interesting moments in other novels for mundane events.

>>155108188
Even when you are nearing the most climatic moments, the series treats it in a matter-of-fact tone. It is as if the dramatic aspects of fantasy life is anything but melodramatic. It is just sad and awful. Its despair isn’t traumatic like an Urobuchi work punching you in the face; it crawls on you and stays there for years.

It is this refreshing take on the fantasy genre that has garnered a huge cult following. The series at first didn’t sell much and was going to be cancelled at the second volume; however, the writer Kareno Akira crying for help in the afterword and word-of-mouth through Amazon reviews, Bookmeter (the Japanese version of Goodreads) reviews, and Twitter have made the series continue beyond everyone’s expectations. It now has an anime adaptation planned for spring and is becoming a well-loved series by many people.

The reason for its newfound popularity is simple: People love the romance between Willem and Kutori. The worldbuilding is fantastic and all, but the romance feels genuine. They not only want each other but need themselves. It isn’t some throwaway heterosexual romance relationship for the sake of it. There is a strong connection between them.

And that is symbolized by the butter cake. Every time Willem bakes a butter cake for the kids and waits for Kutori, you feel the desolation and bleakness of the setting in the first volume. All you want is the two to be happy and live in a world that doesn’t ask for their help. They should be together, holding hands and eating butter cakes together. Married till death do they part. But they can’t and that’s why the novel is so despairing.

No matter what people say and the times we are in, we want to lead banal lives. Even in the realms of fantasy and a world that is ending, we want to return to our homes. And Sukasuka portrays that desire without sentimentalism because it depicts what it truly is: a desperation to live somehow despite the impending doom.

Not reading your memes moogie-dono-kun-sama.

I actually liked the rendition of Scarborough Fair in the previous preview.

Well, that was certainly unexpectedly good.

Re:zero being the best LN adaptation fell short when they botched the ending

Well, now that I think about it, it has been 500 years and all. Was it natural?

Nope. She RIPed right after sealing Elk.

That's surprisingly good animation and detail level for Satelight. I guess it's because it's adaptation funded by Kadokawa and not their yet another low budget original.

Questions to LNfags: how much can be spoiled? I'm asking if I can stay in ongoing discussion threads which will be obviously full of spoilers, or should I avoid all threads because those spoilers can completely ruin enjoyment from the show.

>>155111139
For now you can just avoid tagged stuff and you'll be alright

>1 cour
>only adapting half the novels
Are we going to get a shitty ending and no continuation?

>>155111139
I like how the story unfolds with all its mysteries so I'd avoid the threads I guess.
But then you might miss potential speculation discussions.

Either way you are fucked.

>>155111139
How are you gonna get spoiled when the LN doesn't focus on high amount of details?

What you're gonna have is despair mixed with love between the 2 MC's, that's it.

>>155101391
MC is cute!

>when the LN doesn't focus on high amount of details
You must be some kind of retard.

>>155111445
>No arguments at all

Thanks for showing you're the retard here.

The LN doesn't focus too much on detailed information and mostly on what's going on with Kutori and Willem, add to that some deaths here and there and that's it.

Now crawl back to plebbit sperglord.

If it's successful they can always adapt the rest and make 2nd cour. It will air right after Symphogear s4 and s5, new Macross and Kawamori's next project somewhere in 2020.

>>155111547
You actually need to read the thing instead of parroting summaries and spoilers.

At elast half, if not more, of the story is plit and world building.

>>155101391
>that fucking song
>lolis
Picked up.

>>155111547
How do you think the volumes are filled if that's all the LN is about then?
If you actually read it you'd know how much world and character building it does.

>>155106531
>let's quote the spoiler without spoiling it
Good job.

>>155111307
Nope. The series is only 5 volumes and they're adapting all of them, the sequel series is a different story with a different MC and main cast, just set in the same world.

>>155094845
Finish your sentence.
