The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

Ah yes that's important
It gets real grim
Somehow this visually seems to evoke the 90's Era of the anime, but I'm not certain how. Is it the colors or something?
Also I was wondering what the boys on the railroad tracks had to do with anything, but apparently it's a reference to the first game where the player character's TV features four boys walking down railroad tracks, which is itself a reference to the Stephen King/Rob Reiner movie stand by me.
PS, are the main boy and girl in the video new characters? I've never seen them before.
Everything has a sort of fuzzy tinge around it that gives it a "recorded on VHS" feeling to me. Maybe that's it?

Certainly bad writing is in every culture, but I find there’s a specific way that it manifests in Japanese culture that’s particularly irksome. The Japanese love to setup some key information, and then proceed to completely ignore it in the resulting action. This happens twice back-to-back in Tanya’s fight with the Observer-Hunters. First she observes that they’ve just used a massive amount of magic power, depleting their resources to a point that they would not be able to fight in 3-to-1 odds. Said squad then proceeds to open up on Tanya with limitless reserves of ammunition. Next, as they engage in aerial combat, the Observer-Hunters are daunted by Tanya’s ability to outclimb them as she rises to a significantly higher than they can. Earlier the audience is told that climbing to a higher altitude is a defensive tactic, so naturally we expect that out climbing the enemy will impart some sort of defensive advantage. The Observer-Hunters then open fire on Tanya, seemingly negating her altitude advantage by simply aiming up. Storytelling is all about setup and payoff. If you set up that our hero recognizes the enemy is low on ammo, then you need to pay it off by having that come into play. If you setup that climbing to a higher altitude is an advantage, then you have to pay it off by showing how. I find that military stories are particularly bad at this. This isn’t indicative of the whole of the series or all of Anime. Nor are the Japanese the only ones to make this particular form of bad writing. But damn if it isn’t common.
But yeah it's a mediocre light novel adaptation, another one for the pile.
Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
In short, watch captain tyler

That's unfortunate; he wanted to hit 1000 chapters by the last week of this year.
Captain Tylor is one of two anime characters that I ever seriously considered cosplaying (the other was Vash the Stampede). I never ended up cosplaying either, though did obtain a Vash jacket.
It also weirded me out how in the English dub of Captain Tylor, the girl who looks just like Lina Inverse is actually voiced by Lina Inverse's English voice actor.
And then in a single episode he accidentally turns them all down while he's distractedly trying to play a VR game
To this day, one scene I can always watch again and again and again is near the end of the series where
"PACO-PACO DID WHAT!?"
Followed by her command to make Dom bring him back before again whereupon he also breaks character and completely goes
"WHAT!?"
himself. Just perfect comedic timing and exaggerated character model animation for that scene.

I have one realization after this cour:
she loves him after all, after seeing what she is like during those episodes, I find it hard to belive that she would willingly torture him
The dub is amazing.
Like Baccano it's one of the few anime that I can't imagine watching subbed.
You fucking called it! Roswaal sending assassins to the mansion to kill everyone. JFC. And so Subaru MUST choose between Rem or Emilia? Sadistic as hell.
The stuff with the witches was wild. Teaching Subaru it's okay to love himself? Series continues to require Natsuki Subaru to grow to be a better person to continue on and escape the loops. I'm still unsure if Satella is literally Emilia, possessing her, or what that exact deal is.
I really like the writer of this series.
Three month gap until next episode. It's going to be a LONG time until 2021.
But having the evisceration queen say that Subaru got their earlier than she thought he would meant someone had to be feeding her information and the only person that made sense that we were aware of was Roswaal.

I think the experience is improved by watching the dub, since you get to actually hear them say all the ridiculous stuff. And can more easily appreciate the delivery.
you couldn't pay me to stop drawing naked pictures
just butts and boobies and weiners for days
Nah,t he quality is crazy high throughout.

yeah, that was someone's early twitter take that got blown out of proportion (that they later walked back as a "well, in my opinion....."
Yeah i'm watching it currently (hooray, dvd relases) and the quality of it's animation is RIDICLOUS. Not just the animation, the lkighting, texutring everything is fucking fanastic - and they're def playing to the strengths of CG.
It really helps they've used a hyper-realism look for the characters too - all extended jawlines etc. It's fantastic.

Well, I don't know about that, I am pretty lazy and if you're going to pay me not to do something then I can just google any naked picture I want instead of spending my time drawing them.
Or just draw nudes recreationally if that loophole works.
speculation:
edit: Roswall seems to understand Echidna awfully well. maybe he's Future Subaru where Subaru accepts Echidna's offer?
On a lighter note:
