Trying to finish Konosuba S2's dub before I jump into that, if it's anything like the first two seasons. This is gonna be great. Also this is the FIRST FULL SEASON, to have an actual series length budget/full series. (First Season was supposed to be a movie, second had budget issues because reasons?) I can't wait to see the levels of quality they put into this one. 14 minutes ago, Thelonebillsfan said: Yo what I had no idea Crunchyroll was A) doing their own funded content and B) ******* making webtoons into anime. Thinking about that Solo Leveling anime like Crunchyroll funds a lot of anime/licenses a lot the exact specifics aren't known because contracts/no one likes publicly saying how they spend/fund things. But there's a decent amount of stuff they help get funded. It's gonna happen if the Webtoon projects happen to be profitable/successful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pirated viewed like 200M times and yet the physical volume releases still have sold a few million copies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Korean nationalism. It's really really bad with that lol. But it would be so effing good man. Now that I know they're doing these I need that ****. Thinking about Madhouse doing an adaptation of it, bruh. Edited March 14, 2020 by Thelonebillsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's one I found after the first season that went into it a little bit. I'll keep looking because that was a fantastic interview, but I can't remember who did it for the life of me. Damn you year and a half gaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animation looks better and more fluid. Does it hold up through the rest of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, the quality holds up for the most part. Some of the major action sequences towards the end of the season were fairly well done, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Watching Tokyo Ghoul. I liked season 1, and I liked season 2 but season 3 is hard to watch. I read about it and apparently S2 is completely original and S3 is pretty much directly taken from the manga. Hoping the second half gets better because I am really not a fan of the direction it has been heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Minor advantages to working from home is that I made it quickly through 6 or so episodes of SAO to wrap up season 1. I'm rewatching it now getting ready to watch some of the new stuff that's coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I've been watching Your Lie in April, and this show is absolutely devastating. I wasn't prepared for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Watched all of the SAO spin-off Gun Gale Online (not the start of season 2 the actual separate show), seemed too predictable, I thought that they had some interesting room to play with, but in the end it just felt like they didn't plan it out well for ending it.
