Reminder that herkz refused to rip further episodes of series streamed on Amazon because "some group will fansub them" (aka "we want our meme cartel to stay relevant"). Fuck you herkz, people just want to watch the damn show instead of waiting for your obsolete shit.

If no group subs a particular show then I won't watch it and will just wait for BDs to come instead.

Fuck HorribleSubs.

We are getting subs few hours after episode airs not few fucking days.

No more retarded overdone OP/ED karaoke shit that fries older laptops.

No more fansubbing drama and cocksucking.

And HS is often better quality than TV rips.

>We are getting subs few hours after episode airs not few fucking days.
I remember when Code Geass R2 was airing, there were about half a dozen fansub groups that would have their releases out by the next day, a couple within a few hours.
>No more retarded overdone OP/ED karaoke shit that fries older laptops.
Yes, this is the one unintended benefit of Crunchy subs, although I do think it would be nice if they could at least bother translating the OP.
>No more fansubbing drama and cocksucking.
Who cares. Don't pay attention to it if it bothers you.
>And HS is often better quality than TV rips.
Except that's often not the case.

This season is going to work out fine, but if Netflix ever got more involved in licensing it would quickly become a problem.

>>155719434
I'm concerned about Sentai since it seems they make Kyoukai no Rinne 3 as TAN exclusive despite the previous seasons are on CR.

Sentai also screwed people in some countries like UK and Australia since their Kyoukai no Rinne 3 simulcast on TAN isn't available on these countries unlike the previous seasons on CR.

>>155719102
>I remember when Code Geass R2 was airing, there were about half a dozen fansub groups that would have their releases out by the next day, a couple within a few hours.

Like if Code Meme was the norm. All the big ebin fansubbing groups would always swarm the most popular series and race to get the subs out first while half of the season got forgotten.

>>155719672
I was mostly just referring to the practical situation of shows having access to acceptable subs as it airs, where ID-0 seems to be the only potential issue this season as far as late night anime goes.

As to the official side of things, between what is officially available, where it is available, and on what platform it is available, is a complete mess (and that complete mess could that could easily lead to more problems with what ends up subbed going forward, although Netflix seems to be the nearest lurking roadblock).

Nothing. Great season. Good stuff in every genre.

FFF is only good for BD rips that already have good subs from an earlier TV release. They're worthless for airing stuff.

Besides, they left Crunchy's scripts for Gabriel Dropout totally unedited because "comedy shows should have jokes".

They don't not translate the OP because they can't be bothered to, they do it because Crunchyroll doesn't have the rights to the lyrics of the songs, the audio Jews really have got everything song related buried in royalties.

>>155720140
Anime brings in enough money with limited enough shows in a season that the official industry can sub pretty much everything. That is not remotely true for manga.

Not him, but I actually think a lot of the shows that appear to have potential will turn to shit after 5 or 6 episodes.

>Shingeki no Kyojin S2
To be honest, I stopped liking this sometime toward the end of the first season when it became apparent that it wasn't about developing a plot or characters, but rather delivering a cliffhanger to the viewer to cause them to tune in for the next season.

>Bahamut S2
I have to admit that by the end of the first season, I was watching it purely out of habit.

Man you kids are so damn spoiled.
Back in the 80's I had to find bootleggers through flee markets to get anime. If you were lucky they were part of a mailing circle and you could get connections. I was part of a few mailing circles, they would mail VHS tapes through the mail that were copies of copies of copies. Half the time there was only, say, 3 out of 5 lines that were even subbed. Most of the time, come to find out later naturally, the subs were flat out incorrect or outright guessed. Now you people complain about having a sub group dependably release subs?!
Oh god how terrible of them to use a company's transcripts that translates a majority of the airing anime!
If I had one wish it would be to send /a/ back to the 80's were they had to actually go outside and meet people in order to get anime (not even to mention hentai).
Then they had to send money to random shady mailing groups in order for their shitty VHS tapes to not show up.

Rakugo S2 was a disappointment due to Yotaro being a flat character and the rakugo itself being handled nowhere near as well within the structure of the show. S1 was runner-up for AOTY to Mob Psycho.

>>155721341
Although after that "brilliant" localization, there were enough complaints that Crunchyroll had to get the translation team to tone down the subs.

>>155721265
It's hard to compare what's out right no, so far, with a previous season after you've had a chance to watch everything all the way through and evaluate shows from their beginning to end. For example, I started out thinking that Demi-chan and Gabriel Dropout would be my top anime, but I was pretty unimpressed with Demi-chan (Dullahan was a mistake), and Gabriel Dropout only wasn't garbage because Satania carried it. I also thought that Masamune-kun no Revenge might actually deliver some kind of "revenge" or at least a romance ending, but I was also disappointed there. Plus, who could have honestly predicted from episode 1 that Kemono Friends would get so REAL by the end of the season?

Like I pointed out in an earlier post >>155720875, there are a number of anime that seem good so far, but which might fizzle out halfway through the season.

>>155721107
Yeah because the seven deadly sins is some totally original concept that has never been reused anywhere but Japan.

>>155721388
Anne Happy was just another addition to the oversaturated sub-genre of 'fuwafuwa JC/JK doing fuwafuwa things' that wasn't actually very creative. It wasn't popular outside of diehard fans of the subgenre (unlike Gochiusa or Yuyushiki, for example) because it failed to distinguish itself in any significant way. People who tuned in to watch it simply wanted to see more fuwafuwa JC/JK, not the stupid story of happiness class or whatever the fuck it was supposed to be about.

I still think that there's a type of person who watches shit like Rakugo and Uchouten Kazoku who doesn't really care about the story (which is boring in both anime) and only cares about the tone and type of story of the two anime being so different from other shit. People only watch those anime, in other words, because they are so different, and not really for other reasons.

Anne Happy distinguished itself in a few ways, such as the duality of misfortune and character flaws, which was itself used several times to set up the structure of episodes such as the cooking class/gym class episode where the viewer is given the outsider perspective of the new teacher in order to underscore how much Hibari is impacted by her mistakes and thus how much the forgiveness of her friends means to her as well as providing a grounded perspective that adds to the stakes of the pool scene by dispelling the "comic invulnerability" of the usual tone. The rose at the gate of dawn and lesbian backstory episodes are truly magnificent as well. If you can't understand why Anne Happy is deserving of praise, you aren't ready to appreciate anime.

>shit like Rakugo and Uchouten Kazoku
Ah, see, you are still plagued by the misfortune of shit taste. If Rakugo S1 or UK were boring to you, you are literally a child. In fact, a child would probably be able to appreciate Anne Happy, so you must be a lower form of life than even a child.

>, such as the duality of misfortune and character flaws, which was itself used several times to set up the structure of episodes
There's a difference between a forced premise for a story like this which relies on elements that can only be conveyed through exposition, and a genuine premise for a story that is conveyed through characterization and character interaction.

For example, Masou Gakuen HxH wasn't very different from literally any other magical battle academy harem except that the boring MC had to grab the boobs of the different female character archetypes in order for them to charge their magic. It still had all the same characters as its near clone, Infinite Stratos.

Hinako Note, this season, is, so far, virtually identical to something like Gochiusa - or even Aria, in a broader sense - except for a few small details that were changed around.

>>155722100
After trying and failing to watch S1 for the story, I still am wondering this question.

>>155722272
What are the highlights for you, then? I'll probably start off the season watching more than a dozen shows, but it really doesn't strike me as an "amazing" season. There are a few areas where it's really lacking for me.

>>155722407
>forced premise
Except that no character even comes close to revealing that duality through exposition until the new teacher shows up and states that she doesn't believe in misfortune, which is part of her characterization. Before that point, the misfortune aspect is treated as 100% legitimate with only the character interactions themselves to reveal that the specific misfortune of each character is related to a flaw (except Anne who is played straight as the ultimate bearer of misfortune despite having already overcome the negative mindset which "misfortune" causes in the other students, which is of course the actual point of their class). You're not going to get very far using buzzwords like "forced premise" when the show is actually great.

>>155722725
Sorry, but if an anime is otherwise almost identical to a million other anime aside from some ridiculous details about the premise, especially if you're told and not shown them, then it doesn't get praise from me. There's a reason why Upotte is only praised for having such a ridiculous premise despite being a basic bitch girls academy type of show, but Girls und Panzer is the moe military anime that actually gets praise for being good.

It must be difficult to watch anime when you can't even read properly. Anne ISN'T unhappy, despite having the actual supernatural misfortune which is only a metaphor in the case of the other characters. The entire point is that she aces the true tests of the class because she can overcome the negativity that misfortune would create in others. I guess you missed all of that because it was SHOWN over the course of the show rather than told to the audience.

>otherwise almost identical...aside from some ridiculous details
That's a lot of qualifiers to say, "It isn't the same as other shows." You should have just said that. You're not very good at constructing these petty arguments; at this point you are contradicting yourself in addition to having no knowledge of the material.

There are a few second seasons of popular shows, like Shingeki no Kyojin, Shingeki no Bahamut, SaeKano, Uchouten Kazoku, DanMachi and Boku no Hero Academia that are going to be worth watching if you followed those. Little Witch Academia is continuing.

Of the new shows, Alice to Zouroku, Bushou Shoujo Machiavellianism, Rokudenashi and Tsugumomo have stood out for me. People say that Re-Creators and Zero Kara Mahou Sho are also good, but I haven't gotten to them yet.

Eromanga Sensei is good so far for what it is - a clone of OreImo. Hinako Note will be good if you've always wanted a third season of GochiUsa and would settle for a reboot. For some reason, Clockwork Planet is really popular, although it will probably strike you as kind of incoherent and kind of stupid unless you're the kind of person who always wanted more shows like Rozen Maiden.

>>155723325

Right. There is no intended play on words with the title of the anime at all, huh.

You'd be right a few years back.
Now Crunchy sometimes gets shit in 1080 (upscaled, but from a quality above 720). You should also remember the shitty bitrate of streaming sites.

>>155724127
The argument has always been that your media player can upscale a 720p cleanly enough that you'll never notice a visual difference between upscaled 1080p and a straight 1080p release, while conserving hard drive space much better than if you downloaded everything in 1080p. Not that 1080p TV releases are necessarily upscaled from 720p. I think most people here download bluray releases in full 1080p when available.

>>155724127
This. I don't know why some fansubbers still subscribe to the "nothing is above 720p" meme. Almost everything now is at least 800p and benefits more from a 1080p upscale than a 720p downscale.

>>155723330
I'm sure you meant great.

Maybe with good encoding it would be true. You should always go for 1080 if you are watching Crunchy or Funi rip.

>>155724349
For Funi rips, you're absolutely right, but Crunchy rips are usually g2g in 720p.

>>155724377

That is the meaning of the fucking wordplay, by the standards of the class system she should be the least fortunate, but she is the happiest because she already has the mindset that the class is supposed to teach to the characters with flawed personalities. It can be argued that Ren is also an outlier to the schema, but that argument essentially terminates in 'her technical flaw is that she lets herself be dragged down by the flawed (unable to be honest with herself-tsundere) Hibiki, but like Anne she fully accepts the misfortune which comes her way because she is happy to be with Hibiki, however, her unsurpassed luck serves to show that she fully has the option of walking an easy path through life if she let go of Hibiki.' And just as a reminder, Ren never addresses herself to the audience to explain her character, her characterization comes through completely through subtext made possible by her relationships with other characters as well as the themes set up through the premise and narrative structures. You're a fool to think Anne Happy doesn't carry a golden spark to back its basic "4 girls moe show" facade.

What's missing from this season are shows like the following:

Nothing along the lines of a Code Geass, Aldnoah Zero, Cross Ange, Kakumeiki Valvrave, Kill la Kill or Shinsekai Yori with an epic story (in the Homerian sense), self-contained episodes and strong writing. Probably the closest we get is Shingeki no Kyojin S2, but that gives up self-contained episodes and it really strikes me as more of a weekly shonen, Bleach/Naruto-style anime with a good dose of forced drama to make you think it isn't.

Only one show along the lines of a Binbougami ga, D-Frag, Ben-To, Rokujouma or Shokugeki no Souma, where you have a school-based story that's actually a lot of fun to watch, doesn't take itself too seriously, and is very high energy. Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism is so far all that's airing this season that fits these criteria, although I do have high hopes for it.

No ecchi anime like a Seikon no Qwaser, Queen's Blade or Valkyrie Drive. The worst part is I don't understand why good ecchi anime are becoming so rare.

>>155724662
Holy shit, dude. Give it up. I'm not going to read all that wall of text and I'm not interested in going back to some shitty anime I already dropped anyway. Why don't you print that shit out and submit it to your high school English class for your term paper?

>Nothing along the lines of a Code Geass, Aldnoah Zero, Cross Ange, Kakumeiki Valvrave, Kill la Kill or Shinsekai Yori with an epic story (in the Homerian sense), self-contained episodes and strong writing.

I tried browsing the raw, and I noticed ugly 3DCG and robots whose lips don't move when they're talking. It may seem shallow, but I have never seen a good anime with both.

>>155725034

I can follow the discussion, thanks. My argument is that Anne Happy is a clone of many other similar anime, which it is.

Your response was to get emotionally involved in the conversation and overanalyze a very shallow story to the point of creating a whole new story that only exists in your wall of text posts.

>>155724866
I even gave you an easy target and you still lower yourself to such a pathetic level of debasement. How can you ever hope to argue against the sort of man who partakes of the finest moe shows with such a weak will?

With tail thoroughly between your legs, perhaps we can move on to the topic of Rakugo since you mentioned that as well. I'm sure any man of good tastes would love to discuss how the rakugo performances themselves are woven into the narrative to provide subtext to various aspects of the narrative and characterization. In season 1 of course. S2 was almost wholly lacking in this aspect beyond the repetitive shinigami thread (and possibly Konatsu's performance of a tongue-twister type story showing an overcoming of nerves).

For starters, you didn't even reply to a post that even mentions Anne Happy at all. Second, you are trying to use your analysis to argue about the merits of the show. You can only use your analysis to argue about the merits of your analysis. If you want to talk about the show, then you have to actually talk about the show. In no rational universe does it make sense for me to take the bait offered by a delusional person without getting wrapped into their delusions myself.

I don't want to talk about your delusions, I want to talk about the show. You don't want to talk about the show, you want to talk about your delusions. This conversation has no hope of going anywhere due to your autism.

>>155726207
It really isn't more epic. Taking the anime at face value, Bleach, for example, involves going to other dimensions, which doesn't occur in SnK. It isn't any less gay, either. Many more naked men appear in SnK than in Bleach.

My problem with it, though, is that the plot seems to rely only on building toward the latest "reveal" or plot twist, which is then used mainly to keep people watching. It's a gimmicky way to draw people's interest because the show loses all appeal the moment a viewer says "I don't really care because nothing ever happens in this story anyway."

>>155726578
I haven't been "disingenuous" at all. I stated exactly why I think Anne Happy "failed to distinguish itself" and why it "wasn't popular outside of diehard fans of the subgenre." (My words.) Even if you don't believe be that it was unoriginal, you'd have to be incredibly delusional to not notice that the anime was basically forgotten about on /a/ after episode 3, and the episode threads went relatively slow and died out quickly.

I gave reasonable, succinct arguments in my posts supported with analogies with other anime as examples. You haven't been able to respond to what I actually said this whole time because you have this idea that Anne Happy was some kind of cerebral exercise, when in fact it was actually no different from a number of other slice of life anime about schoolgirls.

>>155726578

Honestly, ID-0 has nothing in common with those shows (and they also have many differences between them, because Yori is not the same as Geass and that's not like Kill la Kill). That's closer to Gargantia or Outlaw Star.

I'm confused. Isn't that claim almost entirely subjective and not necessarily a critique of those shows that could be considered relevant beyond the individual? I could maybe understand critiquing objective measures of the show, but calling a show's story "boring" seems like a relatively shallow complaint.
>People only watch those anime...because they are so different, and not really for other reasons.
Is watching a show for the novelty of it so wrong, though? Praising a show on its novelty alone, I can see as being problematic, but simply watching it for its novelty should not be so worthy of contempt.

>>155729173
Yes, it's entirely subjective. I tried watching Uchouten and Rakugo, but was bored to tears with them, which is remarkable because my taste aligns with /a/ almost for everything else.

They really should have put in some good side character stories too.

Well. That and Little Witch Academia and ID-0. ID-0 is really going to end up without any subs at all due to Netflix having the licence and no one fan translating it.

Baseball slang could have been fine in context, but the line "Throw a Homer" didn't have any more context to make it clear what it was saying other than baseball slang (and the line was use twice during the scene).

Although the line that really caused problems was in the same episode, Itadakimasu -> Through the Dark Lord. Amen. That caught on since even the generic casual anime viewer on Crunchyroll could pick that out, and it generated enough a response that there was a noticeable reduction of such localization choices in future episodes after that.

Karaoke is some of the worst shit in fansubbing, and it's not even because of performance issues.

It's just cringey garbage for autistic children.

>Itadakimasu -> Through the Dark Lord. Amen
That sounds super weird. Was it something the original author wanted for the localization, or did the translator just meme it up to 11?

I wish you CR shitters would fuck off.

Better than winter season.

>And HS is often better quality than TV rips
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I didn't know Daiz was so sexy.

Being about angels and demons, the localization team decided to add in heaven/hell puns all over the place, despite them not being in the original script. They mostly died after that episode though (episode 7).

Throw a homer doesn't make any sense in any context in any language.

>>155718051
Pretty sure he will rip shows if groups stall shit way too long. You should be grateful anyway, he's the only one capable of ripping amazon in the whole scene.

"Throw a Homer" was a bad idea regardless, but they would have been fine having some different baseball slang instead of their made up bullshit that meant nothing (nor could you guess what was being said since there was no farther context). Although it is all a moot point, since while the throw a homer line is bad, itadakimasu is what brought attention to the episode.

>What are you watching, /a/?
Shirobako Quest is good for a first episode. CG Theater is all right. Renai Boukun is kind of tacky, but hopefully it will get better.

>>Crunchyroll hates endcards, for some unknown reason, so you miss out on those
Is this the reason why Konosuba S2 episodes ends abruptly?

I had many shows that I haven't watched to pick from but as soon a I knew there was a new Satanichia it was inst-pick. It is good if you like fun ecchi. No regrets.

At least one neat thing about horriblesubs doing everything is that you can set up this convenient RSS.

Then from this point I either put the episode 1s into one of two folders "trash" or "pretty gud" (99% goes in trash). of course i merely skim through a lot of the files so i'm not stuck watching fujoshit

i guess you wouldn't want to do this is you've got limited bandwidth

>>155718843
Yup. We are in the age of 3D CG
Alice
ID-0
Kado

How can other anime even compete?

Where is Daiz? this thread is worthless without word of the master himself

I loved how Bubuki Buranki looked. And ID-0 looks good too.
