General Anime Thread

Why aren’t more animes done like how the Fate series is done?
 
In the original Fate visual novel, there are three routes. Saber, Rin, and Sakura. In the anime, they managed to adapt each route by having it be its own separate series.
 
Fate/Stay Night covers the Saber route. Unlimited Blade Works covers the Rin route. And the Sakura route is covered in three Fate movies. Each route is given focus and none of it feels skimmed through.
 
I don’t understand why other series don’t do a similar approach, especially in harems. If you have a harem series where there’s five girls, why not do something where you dedicate 12 episodes to each girl? Essentially make it one season per girl.
 
Of course, you can’t do that for every series. Stuff like Nisekoi and Quintessential Quintuplets are written in such a way where it would be impossible to do something like that. On top of that, you have mangas and light novels and visual novels where it involves a harem but there’s not enough material for some of the girls compared to the others. That being said, I could see that being done for visual novels where you make a choice as to which you route you follow. I could easily see series like Clannad doing something like that. I love Clannad, but I do feel the series shortchanges the other girls by focusing on the main girl.

Each route adaptation suffers from it. While it works in visual novels and games, its still one thing what is complete. Shows and movies will be missing plot/lore elements and characterization. Maybe it can work out for dating sims adaptations but not for something more than just romancing/sexing specific girl

@Holofan4life
 
Simple answer? It’s a TON of work. Many anime are lucky to get three seasons, let alone four or five.

@Random-Rambling  
Maybe they could instead do 4 or 5 episodes per girl

If you need a reason to check out the Railgun series, the latest episode of Railgun T contains a Godzilla like creature made up of zombie ant parasites and slime molds.

@Holofan4life  
I’m sure someone thinks that’s pretty neat.

SAO Progressive anime announced

I don’t get this anime trope that says a top school has to fail and ban its students frequently and haphazardly.

@Holofan4life  
People should not watch Railgun elusively and see Index too. It’s not like you don’t have Misaka in it (and her friends show too)

@DeathCloud
 
True. I like Railgun more, but Index is a great anime as well.

Sword Art Online: Progressive has been announced. From what I can gather, it’s gonna be the first part of the original Sword Art Online series but from Asuna’s perspective. It’s also supposedly really, really good. Even better than what it originally was.

@Holofan4life  
Progressive is retelling or expanding of original arc. Maybe with anime they can adapt some stuff skipped or downplayed from original LN. Like Argo character

Monster Girl Doctor is an excellent fucking series and more people need to talk about it.

I bought two new anime Blu Rays. Bunny Drop and My Roommate is a Cat.

@Holofan4life  

 
YouTube has been recommending me random clips of that series all day, so now I feel like I need to watch it.

 
Made in Abyss Bondrew movie was awesome

The Konosuba season 2 Blu Ray is currently planned to be released some time in 2021.

Japan is building a real-size Gundam
 
Someone on Twitter throws a hissy fit calling it “Childish”
 
The Gundam’s respons.
 

 
By the way; it is gonna be apart of an amusement park.
 
 
I wanna go.

Just finished watching Dawn of the Deep Soul and, oh boy, do I still hate Bowdrewd.
 
That being said, the movie was impressive.
 
On the flipside: Marulk’s Daily Life was a nice palette cleanser.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
That movie was great. Really did justice to Bondrew arc
 
Still best dad
