    With how fast its going through stuff there's no possible way it is even planned to have more than one more season at most. And honestly I kind of doubt even that.

    I thought that at first but we're at episode 9 with only two Gung-Ho Guns done for, so I'm now convinced there's another season planned.

    I'm watching Fate/Zero knowing nothing about the Fate franchise. So this all started out as porn but turned wholesome later?

    The first episode of that has some very unwholesome content.

    The original series, supposedly, had random adult segments because that was 'expected' at the time and was the only way it could get made, but Zero doesn't have anything quite along those lines(and later adaptations toned it down or revised it entirely).

    It has no small amount of disturbing sequences, though.

    Yeah, that segment is rough, and it's a direct connection to the final arc of the original story(and probably THE reason people say not to play Zero, because it spoils the plot twist about that character in Heaven's Feel).

    Wholesome may be not a proper word to describe Fate/Zero here.

    Also, while Fate/Zero takes place before other most popular Fate series, UBW, it is in fact prequel and was written after Fate/Stay Night released - just something to keep in mind if you end up unsatisfied by conclusions of some plotlines.

    Zero was my gateway drug, along with Extra, and it's usually my recommendation to start with, because every episode moves the plot forward at a breakneck pace.

    I love UBW, but you can feel the padding when the Special Cooking Works episodes happen.

    I've been watching Nichijou over the past two weeks and have been having an absolute blast. I can't remember the last show that made me laugh out loud so frequently or just completely surprise me like this one. But now I'm nearing the end and I want to see what recommendations you all have for further watching with that level of quality of absurdist humor.

    Nichijou is incredible, and there aren't all that many shows reaching that level of quality(or production value), but one unappreciated show I can think of is Cuticle Detective Inaba.

    Fate/Zero has its flaws, but I feel its a good one to watch because it's the most "pure" expression of the Holy Grail War. "Seven mages summon seven historical figures and duke it out" is such a fantastic premise and most other Fate stuff go for wildly different gimmick variants.

    Even Fate/Stay Night, in its most normal routes, has the format of "normal school life disrupted by emergence of the supernatural" and can often feel like "Shirou fights Boss 1, then Boss 2, then Final Boss" instead of multiple masters navigating around each other.

    It also focuses on an adult cast, most of whom are clearly unrepentant, cold-blooded killers.

    I don't know if anyone else mentioned it in here, but it's been confirmed that The Witch from Mercury will resume on April 9th.

    They've also updated the official Japanese website with a little synopsis for the beginning of cour 2 (automatically translated and then cleaned up by me):
    AS 122- An era in which numerous companies advance into space and build a huge economic zone.

    Suletta Mercury, who has transferred from Mercury to the Asticassia School of Technology, has spent her school life full of meetings and excitement as a member of GUND-Arm Inc. and the groom of Miorine Rembrand. Two weeks have passed since the incident at Plant Quetta. Suletta spends her days at her school, looking forward to seeing Miorine again. On the other hand, Miorine is at the Benerit Group headquarters, watching over her father's condition. The two are faced with new difficulties and pressing decisions. With their own feelings in their hearts, the girls face the powerful curse of the Gundam.

    And those bosses are exactly the same, on the same order, except for Heaven's Feel changing the final boss.

    Just saw the #1 anime movie in America: Creed 3.

    I am not joking. This is not a joke. Creed 3 is anime as hell, and wears its influences as a full-ass wardrobe.

    Thinking it's time to ride this feeling and finally dip into Megalobox.

    It's not really a movie. It's the last two episodes of season 2 smushed together with the first (double length) episode of season 3. Mostly there for superfans who want to see a bit of season 3 early but I can see people going to see it by accident not realizing what they're getting into.

    From what I understand the episodes aren't even edited together. It's literally three episodes with openings and endings included in the run time. That's fine if you know what you're getting into, but a good chunk of the audience didn't seem to get the memo.

    Seems a lot of manga that haven't announced they're ending soon (at least to my knowledge) sure seem like they're doing their final arcs.

    Delicious in Dungeon
    Kanojo mo Kanojo
    Oshi no Ko

    Others also seem like they could be real close but have more wiggle room to continue, like A Couple of Cuckoos, Call of the Night, and My Dress-Up Darling.

    Delicious in Dungeon has been on something very much like a final arc for a while, yeah. I could see it continuing past this point, maybe, but it'd have to take a bit of a right turn from its old formula given... everything. There's some loose ends with the canaries and whatnot, but they kind of beat the final boss and cleared the dungeon last chapter?

    Keep in mind that DiD is a monthly manga, though, so even if it's only got a dozen chapters left that's still a year.

    yeah like functionally you can divide it that way but production-wise it seems like they produced these two cours continuously? I think? I don't really know how this stuff works, suffice it to say it doesn't just feel like part 1 just ended, it really did just end recently

    Huh, they changed the synopsis on the official WfM website back to the original one.

    I'm guessing that the new one was actually supposed to go up after the Expo they're holding for the show this weekend. I'm guessing we'll get our first trailer for cour 2 this weekend as well.

    So I'm catching up on all the manga I was behind on, which is apparently since last November.

    It's honestly ridiculous how much yozakura has improved from its start, and how it manages to bridge into new arcs in a manner that feels natural despite having obvious off-ramps if the axe were to happen.

    Yozakura? You mean one of the longest running manga in the current Jump lineup? :rotate:
