>18if - 11 [720p]
Episode out.
>>162278773
People still watch this mobile game advert?
Ah, fuck.They confirmed it this episode.
>>162278855
Its a pretty mindfuckery take on a mobile game premise, you can still catch up anon!
Prof cat not gonna play around now.
Dude looks like he got out of some gundam series.
Why did episode 10 look so bad?
>>162279065
Gonzo take on arthouse,probably.
last ep better be worth the half episode recap
So Gonzo ran out of money for this ep, I guess.I was under impression Hana didn't wake up last ep?
>>162279065
It looked great, you pleb.
>its another christian symbolism in anime series

So, I just finished catching up to 18if and I'm pretty confused by this. I was putting it off because of the "game" tag attached to it but it has both the best and the worst episodes I've seen this entire season, pretty extreme show.
What is /a/ thinking of this show so far?
Gonzo, you gotta stop replaying this scene.
>>162279406
Personal AOTS, it's a wild ride that has all sorts of things, and for me the amount of good/great episodes far exceeds that of mediocre ones.
>>162279406
Its great.Pic related, my dick every week.
This episode has the best ED song out of the ever changing weekly EDs.
>>162279468
>Personal AOTS
I get why people would name this AOTS even if the production values aren't all there. Yeah, it's a wild ride. The Pol Pot episode was a bit too on the nose but was really well done.
>>162279534
This show has the best out of context pics. The ending songs are pretty great too.
>>162279225
I dont know myself or remember if he was on the game images some anon posted months ago.Might be? He seems to be at odds with the Thorn Cross Association that might be the final boss in the game itself.
>that ed
Pretty dope with the flute and untz.
Bummer. 50% of the episode was reused footage.
>>162279631
What's the game like, anon?
>>162279747
Next week is the last episode right? It kinda sucks that they reused so much cause it feels like they were trying to fill time for this episode but also tried introducing the main plot/big bad. I can only imagine next episode will be super rushed because of this.
Old ex-witch better watch out those ice, shit gonna break every inch of her bones now.
>>162279794
Its like a candy crush clone with a story, I didnt try it but you can find it on the playstore with the title 18: dream world.
>>162279833
There are still two more episodes. http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/4641/time
Haruto being bitchy for some reason and char creating the eve cult for our happiness.
>>162279966
Thanks, glad to see there's more.
So, what was your favourite and your least favourite episodes, /a/?
The Witch of First Love was pretty good one but the Curry/Candy Witch was the one that spoke to me the most.
My least favourite episode was the Ice Skating Witch, I don't think that she ever wanted to wake up or that waking up was in anyway beneficial to her.
>>162280409
Least favourite would be last week's witch. I mean, the fuck did I watch? I'm probably missing out on the meaning of hana/jane (though it seems to be about jane/john doe/anonymous person), missed out the thread and too lazy to dig up the thread.I dont really have a favourite and my least favourite one can still change if I get some extra information on the blogger witch.
>>162280636
I think that the blogger witch was just severely antisocial. Like the chuuni witch, she displayed on several occasions badly socialised behaviour, in fact more extreme displays of badly socialised behaviour, so being afflicted by the Sleeping Beauty disease was just an added layer of escapism for her. Since she discovered she could go about her work as usual in the dreamscape, so she remained.
About the ice skating witch, it does raise the question if the disease has existed for decades or if it was all just her recently reliving her regret of not going through academia instead of athletics. Either way, I just don't get how waking her up was in any way positive to her. Worst episode, in my opinion.
What was your favourite, anon?
>>162281378
>Since she discovered she could go about her work as usual in the dreamscape, so she remained.
Would you remain in the dream world if you could shitpost from there? This sounds like heaven.
>>162281378
>severely antisocial.
Yeah, I kinda got that too but her dream world was pretty crazy compared to the previous witches, the change between the landscapes scenes was a whiplash. I guess those variation were due to her multiple blogging themes.
>What was your favourite, anon?
No favourite. Its either "Pretty good,I enjoyed it" or "What?". Its pretty much how I rate my chinese cartoons, series I dont or couldnt like I just dropped them whenever except the episodic ones like this.Sorry for the lame answer.
>>162281656
>Would you remain in the dream world if you could shitpost from there?
Living the dream, shitposting at the speed of dreams.
Seriously though, at some level she did yearn for the human element in her life and that is why she was freed of sleeping beauty.
>>162281715
Don't worry, anon, I'm pretty jaded about taiwanese puppetry myself. If you're anything like me, you should check out Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, the show was a legitimate masterpiece, so much so in fact that I suspect that most in this so-called community don't even deserve it.
>MC was the devil all along
Can't say I say that coming.
>>162279608
I still prefer And Then There Were None, but this one was pretty good.
>>162280409
Liked episode seven the most because radical changes to the episode formula like that are what I was looking for from this show.
Least favorite would be episode eight because they were so damn blunt with the message.
>>162282355
For me it was the other way around. I think that the message of episode 7 was much too obvious with the whole Pol Pot thing (even though any show that bashes communism is okay in my book). The artstyle they choose to convey this message and looking at the whole situation through kiddie glasses was very refreshing though.
>>162279046
>I came here to laugh at you
>>162282780
It was about loss of childhood innocence through the lens of the exposure of the failures of communism.
>>162282863
>It was about loss of childhood innocence through the lens of the exposure of the failures of communism.
I'm still surprised that this an episode this good (or at least different) came from an anime "adaption" of a mobage.
>>162283046
If you consider that PriPri is in a similar situation in which a mobage is released in tandem (even though it is disingenuously marketed as an original), I think that 18if is the superior mobage anime by virtue of having some of the best episodes of any show this entire season. PriPri feels aimless and soulless in comparison.
>>162282355
Damn,episode 8 was my favorite because it was unique and blunt about the message
episode 9 was my least like because of quality and was uncomfortable with tranny,the story was also seems rush and ended anti-climatic,with over all bad pacing
>>162283157
>PriPri is in a similar situation in which a mobage is released in tandem (even though it is disingenuously marketed as an original)
Well shit I didn't know.
I enjoy PriPri, but I agree with in that it pales in comparison to the adventures 18if gives us. This fucking show has made actual points with an artsy presentation; this show has made some very emotional moments; this show has made some utter batshit moments. It's easily the AOTS for me regardless of the immense amounts of QUALITY.
I WISH
THAT I COULD TURN BACK TIME

It hurts lads

Just going away to where I won't have have a connection for a whole month.
Perfect timing too.
>>162286522
>by waifu.
I see you're a necrophiliac.
>>162278855
If you managed to get to episode 3 I don't see why not, tons of great to legendary episodes, might be the real AOTS.
Shits getting real.
That ED was great.
>>162288043
Has there been a bad ED thus far? Because they always seem to range from decent to good.
>>162286659
Unless you're in the middle of a rainforest, you can usually find internet everywhere, even if its dialup-slow.
I was just wondering guys, what is this about?
is there any particular reason why you find it interesting?
>>162288467
Read a synopsis or watch an episode, faggot.
>>162288494
thank you kindly for your help and contribution
anybody who doesn't think this show should be a secret club please?
>>162288521
It's not about a secret club, buddy. It's about not enabling lazy faggots like yourself.
>>162288567
>not about a secret club
then please take the time to give me an opinion, if you have one
>It's about not enabling lazy faggots
yet you can't be bothered to write your opinion about this show
>>162288467
>>162288521
>>162288653
Watch it and find out. Do you need someone to tell you to do something before doing it? Are you incapable of thinking for yourself?
So we've got a Char clone leading a cult literally worshipping Eve, who is supposed to cause something that sounds very much like third impact if she wakes up. Complete with cult/impact imagery that looks like it's out of Eva.
Somehow, I have a feeling that this, too, may be a dream. Because so far dreams have all been themed, and I think it's unlikely that their "real" world borrows so much from two major mecha shows.
>>162288653
Not him but you're a faggot for autistically arguing. Read the fucking thread for opinions, numbskull, most everyone here is convinced that this is the dark horse of the season and very possibly legit AOTS material (doesn't say much about the season but well). The show is a mixed bag, it has horribly inconsistent production values that often result in hilariously QUALITY animation but at the same time it has presented us with some of the best episodes of any show this season period.
Now learn to read threads or go watch anime now that you've been spoonfed, faggotron.
>>162288714
>would you people please give me your opinions?
>gee m8 you can't even think for yourself
then is it true that the only reason you guys like this show is because "it's art" and so on and you're hipsters?
else I figure you'd like to have somebody else to chat about this with since the other guy said this doesn't want to be a secret club
>>162288788
>some of the best episodes of any show this season period
I can't think of any episodes other than the Pol Pot one which I would consider outstanding, and that was purely because of the visuals. Which ones did you think were particularly good?
>>162288873
Pol Pot, and Witch of the First Love we're my favorites by far. I actually had tears from the latter.
>>162288857
>someone gives his entitled ass an opinion, despite many having been posted already ITT
>"ahaha so ur hipsters in u're seekrit club rite? :^)"
Kindly bugger off now.
>>162288788
>Read the fucking thread
yeah let me spoiler me this thing and read about all the in-jokes
surely most people here will think highly of this show, but I've never read any positive opinion apart from "AOTS", "it's arthouse" and so on like you wrote a moment ago
I honestly appreciate your explanation, but it doesn't explain much
>>162288726
>this, too, may be a dream
Yeah, it's Eve's dream. They explicitly said so multiple times.
>>162289064
I meant someone else's, if that wasn't clear. Plus I'm not sure how much you can trust them on that issue.
Even if it's true, why the fuck would Eve dream about old mecha shows?
>>162288873
>Which ones did you think were particularly good?
The Pol Pot one was too obvious a metaphor for me but, like you said, it was a stand out episode on its visual merits alone.
The Witch of First Love one was a pretty good metaphor for fleeting young love. It was sentimental, kind of formulaic but very well executed with likeable characters.
Candy Witch was probably my favourite episode. I completely get where it comes from and it reminded me of my grandmother's cooking.
Everything else is kinda meh. There are some good moments and characterisations sprinkled here and there but that's about all, nothing to write home about.

>>162289227
THICCCCC
>>162279046
> Listen to the way of true Zeon! We will awaken the goddess Eve, and she will gift her colonies unto us!
Well that was wacky...
Is it just me, or is this narrative a bit too much like Evangelion?
>>162283410
>Well shit I didn't know.
That's because he's spouting bullshit. The existence of a mobage does not preclude Pripri from being an anime original. The game does not tell its story, in the way 18if's does.
>>162289180
Maybe she likes mecha anime.
>>162289708
>>162288726
>>162283512
this episode was literally eva
>>162289708
>Is it just me
No, it's straight up third impact. It was meant to be completely obvious, I believe, what with pic related and all.
I can't quite figure out why we had Char as the preacher, though. I didn't see any other Gundam references.
>>162289917
> It was meant to be completely obvious
but why tho
Criminally underrated.
>>162289930
Fuck if I know. Maybe it's just like anon said >>162289824
Or maybe this is actually Haruto's dream and he's just a /m/anlet. Or maybe they just added it for flavor.
Either way, it's not just coincidentally similar to Eva.
Imouto problem solving algorithm:
> Kill her
> Kill her
> Niichan, you need to kill her
> I'm bored
> Oniiiii chaaaan
> Hey. Nii. Nii. Hey. Let's kill God(female) niichan.
I'm really starting to think here.
>>162290134
Lily is the snake in the garden, finishing the job?
>>162288726
>>162289064
>>162290181
I think the point to be made here is that the entire concept of Eve and her awakening might be complete bullcrap, and part of someone's (likely Haruto's) dream.
Since the whole "Eve awakening and killing everyone" in this episode is lifted from Eva, we essentially have two options:
1) Father Char's story is bull / just a dream
2) The actual ending to this series is an Evangelion homage
I think the former is far more likely than the latter, personally.
>>162288967
its episodic meaning every episode is a different story and director,not else we can say,but 1st is bad,2nd is good,third is best and rest go from bad-ok-amazing(not in any order,just skip episode 9 if you don't like gross humor,7 is why a lot of people pick this up)
>>162290414
We heard the story from Imouto as well as Father Char, so it's unlikely that the whole thing is a lie. The important part is going to be figuring out the details or, more likely, how those details are interpreted by Haruto and Professor Cat.
The Professor is in his normal form and he talks to the witches that have woken up, who we've seen in the real world before. So it's not just someone else's dream. If it's a dream at all, then all of reality is Eve's dream like they said.
>>162289789
Chicken or the egg, anon, chicken or the egg.
>>162290553
I think that the first episode was pretty okay. But it was underwhelming for being a 1st episode.

Write proper sentences. Not only do you seek to be spoonfed, but you also can't properly communicate with other people.
>enter the red doors leading to Eve
>Lily is inside
Was she actually Eve all along trying to manipulate him into freeing her?
On a serious note, this show is trash, but it's also watched by less than 50 people so it invites hyperbole.

>>162292555
>> Abandons oniichans
Shit, you might be onto something here. All this time I was thinking that Lily was neko-sensei's imotou but she's probably the big bad too. Sensei is into music and Eve holds a lily staff with a microphone.
>>162278855
It's not half bad
>>162294149
imo this show is bretty gud and could be a classic in a few years
probably wnot be though

>Hiroshi Kamiya out of nowhere
I know where the budget went
>>162278886
Damn, I actually thought the otaku mecha girl died because they never showed the shot of her waking up at the end of the show.
>>162295562
I didn't even notice it was Jotaro, though I doubt he's the sole reason for the budget's disappearance.
>>162294185

I feel like a moron.
>>162278773
I will watch this if the BDs become available at some point because QUALITY
>>162297167
I'm not sure what exactly do you mean by this, anon, not all BD releases are massive redraws like the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ones. Usually, the best you get is some recolouring, effects works, etc., hardly ever do you see them redo entire scenes. Also, QUALITY is a somewhat necessary part of the industry, bad animation should make us all be more appreciative of the various things that make anime, in 18if's case the various directorial styles and the ED songs.
>>162297167
This isn't Shaft, it's Gonzo.
>>162297350
>>162297368
they already announced they're fixing episodes
>>162297430
That's quite nice of them.
>>162297430
I see, I was unaware of this. Ep. 9 for me was borderline unacceptable but with the general comedic tone of the episode the hilariously bad animation just made it more funny.
I'm very curious to see what they'll fix for the BD.
