Winter 2015 Anime Thread

Hm, not sure what to think about Tokyo Ghoul 2. Does this first episode follow the manga at all, or will it be a new story?

The second season is a anime original story, not sure if they are going to include much if anything from the manga.

So I caught up with Parasyte. The chick with the ear muffs was definitely the cute one of the group. Stupid, but cute. She was going to be a goer also, if she didn't go and fuck it up by being dumb. Poor Izumi. He now suffers for her being dumb.

Uh? been some months since ive read the manga, but it seem to me it pretty much follows it (at least on the first episode). I mean there are some differences but same as the first part had compared to the manga. Dont think there going to be major plot changes (well i dont remember he joined aogiri like that tho). Considering also the sequel of the manga is going on atm, always with kaneki as main char i think (havent read it yet), and considering how successfull tokyo ghoul been prob there going to be a 2nd season (or third if u consider this the 2nd).

[Tokyo Ghoul] Second Season will have Anime-Original Story [Winter 2015] : anime

Reddit post from what was announced about the upcoming season. Sounds like it may include things from the manga but the author himself is writing a new story for the anime? Not sure why, I haven't had a chance to catch the new episode myself yet.

Hmm interesting, i stand corrected then. Well in a way its a good thing, tokyo ghouls ending part of manga was quite a mess sort of, and imho very much rushed. Looking forward to it. Tho it say also tokyo ghoul:re has a totally new main char, as i said havent read it myself yet, but chatter around said it was still kaneki (under a different name/amnesia plot or something like that), guess ill start to read it a bit.

on another note, impressed with death parade.. awesome graphic and animations, and bit strange story (made me think back at nightmare cafe if anyone ever seen it). will keep watching it.

It's a really fucked up story. I was a bit confused with the end, though.

hmmm. i dont think the game result had any impact on the final judgment, but was only to reveal the true nature of them. Or so that is how i percieved it. She kept lying till the end till the moment she thought she had won, and the game show both their true colors. Judgment was bout what they did while they were alive, the guy while acting a bit fucked up in the bar, was a ok person in life, yeh he caused the crash but no purposely.. she was a real bitch so well...

Bout magic, well technically, the bar is a sort of gateway before your soul going to its next place, so supernatural things like that are kinda not so strange? The rules of the game, and the pain they caused and how they caused it was just a way to reveal themself.

Yea, I agree with Nyn about Death Parade. I hope the characters that run the Bar are interesting, because seeing a show each week that is only about revealing the true nature of those who died would be pretty dull. Hoping Aldnoah doesn't disappoint.

Fuck Slaine and his shittyness.

AldNoah - saw this shit coming from a mile away. There was just no fuckin way they would kill him off, and the blood thing was obvious to happen also, its sad that this became predictable but its still good.

Yeah the Orange Knight thing was already an idea a ways back. But now we have the princess being Best Princess and Slaine can die like a bitch at the end of this season.

So I am a tad confused... How did they re-active the Aldnoah drive in the ship? Am I missing something here?

EDIT: Was it the blood on the piece of paper? It almost seemed like Inaho activated it?

Royals have control over the power of aldnoah, but they can grant the ability to use and activate it to the knights. That's why they had the flashback to Inaho giving mouth-to-mouth to Best Princess, because bodily fluid transfer is involved in the process. Whether it was 100% Inaho as a knight or knight + royal blood it doesn't matter they can spin it any way they want since they showed Best Princess' body being clinically alive.

Blood splatter from Princess got on Inaho and entered his wounds is what it looks like. Likewise it could be the kiss making the system think they are "bound" by an oath? Who knows but with the blood splatter convo that popped up when they wondered why it happened im going with that.

Fuck Slaine, let that Wakandan die - I wonder what excuse he will come up with when she wakes up.

Shit Horizon....

Inaho is such a beast. Glad the badass fight song is back.

eh, I mean I like that Inaho is alive on one hand but the shitty plot armor and the show relying a bit too much on convenience bothers me on the other. Either way just happy its back hah.

Yea, I liked this first episode, but it kinda dulled the impact of the first seasons ending. It seems to me that Inaho is already suspecting that the Princess is alive, or at least that the Princess they see on the broadcast isn't the real one. All in all, I am optimistic that this season will be great.
