『神撃のバハムート・バージンソウル』
３０分×２４本。
>>139228746
hahaha oh wow, the last eps will be litreal slideshows with speedlines.
Sounds good to me.
>>139228746
Where is Favaro?
Praise Jesus
>>139228816
What happened to Amira again after she controlled Bahamut?
>>139228917
dead.
>virgin soul
>show is loaded with semen demons
Fucking MAPPAevery thread until release, i guess
>>139228746
Holy shit I'm so happy to hear this. Having S1 condensed into 12 episodes really hurt the series since they cut out a lot of the journey.
>>139228746
>Virgin Soul
Slut confimed?
The soccer anime they are making is also 24 ep. How will MAPPA manage?
Season one should have been 24 as well. I know the animation would have sadly suffered, but I feel like with 12 episodes, the pacing suffered slightly.
It was still a good season though.
>>139228964
>until release
>>139229026
Well, this I think is being funded(?) by Cygames so we don't have to worry about that.
>>139228947
NO, SHELL COME BACK. SHELL BE TOGETHER WITH FAVARO FOREVER
>>139228746
Sweet, RoB game is dead now. So will have to do with this and Rage of Bahamut Manaria Friends showing this spring
>>139229097
Wasnt Manaria Friends cancelled?
>>139229126
As shit looks like it is, was looking forward to that the most this spring too
Postponed though so I'm hoping for summer

Seeing gods get rekt is gonna be fun.
>>139228746
FUCK YES
>>139228848
Is that Amira?
>>139228746
>zombie loli is back
Yay
Guess I'm not killing myself just yet.
>>139229306
New protagonist. Name's Nina or whatever it was. Set to become /a/'s new waifu this summer; set to boil down to whether KonoSuba could field something of similar strenght.
>>139229356
thanks.
I noticed few details are off, but I trough it might be just redesign.
>you will never get to experience season one again, for the first time
Feels bad. This looks like it'll be fun though.
>we get to have more afro
>>139229466
I love Kaon
>>139229582
Too bad her anime was utter shit.
Her arc was actually surprisingly good. Only redeeming feature of that show other than the mech fights.
>>139229126
>>139229230
I thought it was just confirmed shorts?
>>139229594
It dropped the ball hard in the second half. It's like they realized they had 4 episodes to do what they wanted and because of the scale of things they wanted to do it it came without foreshadowing at all.
I liked CL
>>139228917
Not >>139228947, she merged with Bahamut. Quite sure they are still kinda separate but not fully, in any case separating them would probably mean bringing Bahamut back too.
Yes, twice as much screetime for best pomp, best ginger afro, best zombie, best demon and best duck.
>24 episodes
THANK GOD, this was exactly what S1 would have needed, maybe now it won't be so rushed.
>>139229750
And it looks like Azzazel would quickly join the main cast. Delicious

I shouldn't be this hyped, BUT I AM
>>139228746
>24 episodes
It's gonna have a fuckload of cheap ones.
>>139229790
Azazel suffering for 24 episodes. I'm okay with that.
Lucifer is probably still reading his pile of doujinshi and won't show up that often.
>>139229639
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/03/08-1/rage-of-bahamut-manaria-friends-postponed-indefinitely
:(
Can also be inferred from the post that it starts at least as late as fall. Still terrifying to think about, I hope for their sake it's split cour.
I also thought it might be ok for Yuri to air on winter, now even spring '17 looks too early.
And not that it's news at this point but DAYS is guaranteed fucked in chong land.
MUH DICK. I hope Mappa is ready for it, though honestly they did a good job with Ushio to Tora so we'll see.
>>139228848
>>139229306
Okay, so I just had a insight. Amira's mental age was ~5. This girl clearly acts like a teenage girl. It's 10 years later. Possible her soul essence is somehow in this girl? It would make for a combined ~15 years old.
>>139229921
Azazel is Alibaba of this series.
>>139230050
Ushio to Tora is a slideshow, and MAPPA didn't actually make it.
>>139230087
>Ushio to Tora is a slideshow
Come on, let's not meme here. Haha, it's a slideshow, I get it you're funny. Can we move on?
If you compare UnT to other recent two-cour shows it's definitely above-average in consistency. It was no Samurai Flamenco and had some good scenes during the middle and past it.
>>139230079
No Anne, Great, Lou and palls doing fun things. Still burns how they skipped over the fight between Anne and Grea in the game
>>139228746
>Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul will be total 24 episodes
Animation is going to be so shitty. RIP
>>139230050
It's very possible she is somehow related to Amira. The title being Virgin Soul and all. Not to mention Amira is now merged with Bahamut, a dragon, and Mina can turn into a dragon.
It may very well be Amira's soul or a part of it.
>>139229889
>>139230458
The sad part is that people can't see the obvious happening until it airs, for now they're blinded by the 24 number. When it's finally here and the show is rigged with cheapness, they'll whine and whine about how S1 was better and how this is unforgivable and how disappointed they are.
>>139230637
You're kind of being a little bitch considering we have a series footage PV 6 months before air and no guarantee of two continuous cours.
>>139230637
I'm already expecting season one to be better by default. How often is a season two better than the first one anyway?
How does MAPPA do with longer seasons? I've only seen Garo: Guren no Tsuki as far as one of their longer projects go, and that one is probably not the best standard to judge MAPPA by. Did Hono no Kukuin stay decent looking, or did it start to look cheap as fuck too?
>>139230744
HnK stayed pretty good looking.
GnT improved in the 2nd cour but still not at HnK levels.
It all ends up at how many projects MAPPA has going, you could see GnT was last in their queue of priorities.
>>139230821
Yeah. I actually like some of the character designs on GnT, but the animation leaves a bit to be desired. The writing though, is just a mess. I agree, it's gotten better in the second half though. At leas the mood of the show doesn't seem to whiplash as much between being serious and being weird sort of slapstick comedy now.
>>139229286
She will wreck Lucifer over and over again. Prepare for delicious demon tears
>>139230938
I actually liked the SoL elements of GnT.
The character designs are good but they are really detailed and hard to animate though.
Hoping for her appearance next chapter, one of my fav god realm designs her theme and look feels like it could fit in this anime
>>139230966
>not even Lucifer escapes the bullying
At least Azazel isn't singled out.
>>139231020
I just find the mood shift from the lighter SoL stuff to the more serious stuff too fast in a lot of episodes. I still don't hate the show as much as a lot of /a/ seems to though. Man, the threads for that show are fucking dead.
>>139231106
He's got a friend to help him through the tough times at least
>>139231106
>>139231170
Meant Luci btw , Aza is just suffering. Maybe Cerberus can cheer him up on the side
>>139228781
You don't know what you're talking about retard.
I want Summertime Skeleton to make an appearance.
Card Aza btw
>>139231147
I agree that some of the switches feel too fast.
It's no HnK but i like GnT
>>139230637
The sad part is when retards think cygames doesn't have all the budget in the world to do whatever the shit they want.
HnK looked good during the whole 24 episodes, I don't see this being different considering it will have more budget.
MY DESTIIIIIIIIIINNNNNYYYYYYYY
>>139231304
Unless you're Toei, in which case even the biggest franchise in anime won't be enough to ensure decent quality.
>>139231272
Yess! riding Dark Hamsa, his glorious hair waving through the skeis
>>139231363
A gainz Hamsa would be good too.

>>139229435
Second time is better, there are lots of details you'll probably miss the first time.
I'm rewatching it and I didn't remember Azazel being such a gigantic faggot. He treats the 10/10 dog semen demon like shit, if I was him I would be ravishing her body all day.
>>139231363
And the tiny sea bunny on his head waving us goodbye. This is going to be the final scene of the season.
>>139231170
How I miss Mirin. And Orchis. An anime about either her or Lucifer's plotline would be great
>>139231410
Yeah it's fun to watch the second time now that you know how all the twists will wind up. Still, nothing will beat the wild ride and thread speculation of the first viewing.
>>139231396
Glorious
>>139231414
Damn that lil' thing's pretty qt. Interesting animal for sure
>>139231423
Yeap, they could go with multiple plot lines for RoB. Just gotta hope it sells well to convince Cygames to keep producing the series
-They're indeed making a midquel manga. One of the revealed panels showed that Favaro does not have the tail. The magazine, Cycomi, is made for online and mobile.
-There's going be six-part short anime that'll air (or streamed maybe) before the main anime and goes into the events during those 10 years as well.
-Bad guy is king's son, somehow incredibly strong.
-Rita has grown a bit, because she's a zombie (sounds like "zombie dakara" is the explanation to a bunch of things this season too).
-Rita's hand is Kaisar's
-Kaisar's horse is Lidford Jr.
-Azazel and Kaisar will lean on each other
>>139231793
Would anyone be insterestd in schantating this manga once it's out?
>>139231793
>-Azazel and Kaisar will lean on each other
Was this point THAT important?
>>139231848
Fuck, I swear I'm not drunk.

>>139231793
>Kaisar's horse is Lidford Jr.
But who was the father?
>>139231793
>Rita's hand is Kaisar's
Glorious.
>>139231880
Brohorse
>>139231880
Favaro's horse, if there's any justice in the world.
>>139231897
Think of all the horribly wonderful hand puns and the interactions between Kaisar and his hand.
>>139231869
Yes, Azazel is the new Favaro, he will be Kaisar's new best friendo.
>>139231925
AZAAAAZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
Nope. Sorry dude.
It doesn't roll of the tongue as well as FAVARO.
>>139229026
They made GARO along side the first season, and it turned out to be the better show
So I guess the real question is how much you love man ass
>>139231793
>-Bad guy is king's son, somehow incredibly strong.
For some reason, this is one of the things I'm most interested in so far. The king was incompetent and worthless, but it seems like his son might actually be good at something.
>>139232120
He takes after his mother (or his grandmother), I assume.
If these aren't 24 episodes of Kaisar's yelling FAVAROOOOO...
>>139231956
MIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Ain't the same as Favaro but works better than Azazel.
>>139230966
>>139231082
>>139231170
>>139231363
>>139231593
I don't know who any of these are but why do Chinks overdesign stuff so much? The Japs do it too sometimes but nowhere near as much.
>>139233284
I assume they're all Japs, The game is Japaese as far as I know
To look cool I guess, they're sweet to look at
>>139231410
He's just being alpha, anon.Those hips tho goddamn
S1 was a fun ride, can't wait
>>139228746
FAVAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
MAPPA is literally saving anime bit by bit.
>>139234886
>yuri on ice
>days
>saving anime
>>139234886
But when they save themselves (make a big hit)? Don't get me wrong, I really like MAPPA so far, most of their works are fine/very good, they put a lot of effort in animation, they take risks, but they are still to deliver a solid hit.
>>139231304
>HnK looked good during the whole 24 episodes
Had tons of cheap moments.
>Amira MIA from the trailer
feels bad man
>>139229286
Somebody fetch me a screenshot of the sword Michael gave to Jeanne. Could it be that same sword?

>>139236427
Not this one.
>>139231170
>>139230966
They already established that game and anime Lucifers are pretty much two different characters. Different personalities, goals, origins. None of that game stuff is likely to be relevant.
>>139231793
There is also going to be a six-part short anime series that goes into the events of those ten years and it'll air before the main show.
>>139231956
Pretty sure he's not going to be shouting his name, they get past their differences pretty fast.

>>139228746
Well this makes me happy, gonna be lots of meandering though.
GRANBLUE ANIME WHEN
>>139228746
I trust it to look good. Budget should look solid and it seems like a very well organised effort. In most cases it comes down to shcheduling, and if they already have footage to show half a year before the air time, plus animated side material, it gives a lot of confidence in the management of this project.
>>139238290
What a cutie pie
When did they make a Bahamut app for Chrome? I just tried to install it and it seems to be working fine. (Japanese only)
>>139240121
damn that's pretty sweet, might try it out. only played English version and know no Japanese but heck it's worth a shot. I hear they trade in cure waters instead of holy powders
>>139238290
>blush
SLUT
>>139241199
I know some Japanese, but I've never played Bahamut or any other card game before. Right now I'm only pushing random buttons, but the voice feature is pretty nice.
>>139241721
Wait till you find out whom she has the hots for.
>>139241986
She has good taste, prettiest boy there.
>>139228746
Will this be /a/'s Drakengard 2?
First installment's MC is out to save his dragon waifu, while a new MC fucks shit up. Favaro will have a minor role in the middle and Nina will kill him. Also Amira suffers forever.
>>139233284
>overdesign
It looks great. Too much detail in the picture for your brain to process?
>>139228746
>24 episodes
There goes any expectations of tight pacing. Unlike Genesis, it'll probably end up having a lot of episodes that drag.
>>139241986
The show is just acknowledging what the director has been preaching all this time. Azazel is hot.
>>139242572
Better than the sudden jump to lightspeed pacing that season 1 had. It's like they forgot they only had 12 episodes and had to rush through everything they wanted to do.
>>139241966
Sweet, English RoB didn't have voices. Gold rim Dancer best dancer
>>139242572
Hope it'll use extra episodes to do some world building the first series lacked
>>139241986
>>139242870
Well he is a fallen angel so he should be, that's part of the whole fallen angel thing.

>Smartphone game developer Cygames announced at Anime Japan 2016 on Saturday that is aiming to establish an animation studio as a fully-owned subsidiary in the first half of 2016.
>Cygames has had an anime production division since March 2015, and it will continue in the new anime production company. The new company will handle not only planning and producing anime, but also creating the animation in-house.
>Cygames' business website is taking staff applications. The job description references anime adaptations of Cygames' games as well as original anime.
>>139245180
Maybe their first job is Manaria Friends.
>>139228746
>good shows I like getting sequels AND more episodes
What a time to be alive
>>139245180
>>139245255
I hope the reason they scrapped Manaria Friends 7mins shorts this season for a full fledged series down the line. Colourful cast at school will make for some funny moments and warm reactions at times of hardship
>>139245180
Does this mean Mappa won't be doing season 2?
Also, the article from ANN abou this having 24 episodes is gone, what does this mean?
>>139245646
Sauce on that cropped picture?
>>139245646
What are those other shows, anon?
I'm afraid I might have missed something, seeing as this is the first I've heard of Shingeki no Bahamut getting more.
>>139246885
Director confirmed 24 eps but then deleted the tweet. They're waiting for an official announcement.
>>139247111
Let's hope he wasn't lying.
>>139247047
MJP, Natsume, Konosuba, FMP to name some. There are probably more.
Lets recapitulate what MAPPA has in store for us:
> Spring (confirmed)
Ushio to Tora - 13 episodes
GARO -DIVINE FLAME- Movie
> Summer (Speculations)
DAYS - Probably 2-cour
YUURI!!! on Ice - Most likely 1-cour
> Fall (Speculations)
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul - confirmed 2-cour
Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni - movie
>>139247111
Whatever happened seems to have been positive.
His latest tweet was about "an interesting development" at a planning meeting he "hopes will became a reality". Maybe they're getting a better schedule, or Touhoku Shinsha's new studio is stepping in to assist production.
Of course, that latest tweet might have been about a different project than Bahamut.
>>139248069
>Touhoku Shinsha
I meant Cygames.
Got my MAPPA sugar daddies confused.
>>139247888
Studio of the year.
>>139247888
I get worried when a studio is this busy.
>>139240121
>>139241199
Might check this one out, played the English version off and on and found out they took it down the App Store in February
>>139248175
>>139248316
MAPPA's productions have been solid so far with exception of Guren no Tsuki which was rushed and all kind of bad with full half of episodes being outsourced to Korea.
MAPPA is still young and this year will prove test to them if they can handle this load of work. GARO is in post-production phase. Ushio to Tora has very stable production and should be finishing up.
YUURI!!! on Ice will be fantastic. The amount of work which went into preproduction is already astonishing. The only thing I worry about is how long will Hiramatsu Tadashi stay in production. If he would participate as full Chief Animaton Director then the wet dreams can begin. PV of DAYS on AJ2016 didn't look bad, it actually looked good. Honestly, I'm a bit dissapointed by Nakazawa's charadesigns since he can do much much more beautiful designs but since he's involved with that Netflix x I.G production he won't have time for Chief AD work. Shame. DAYS could be decent. Hopefully, it won't fall apart.
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul should be fun again. The plot will probably be better handled that first season and it seems that new and old characters will remain that fun aspect from the first season.
Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni is Katabuchi's and Maruyama's wet dream and much cared-about-child. It'll be great and fantastic but in a way that Sarusuberi (Miss HOKUSAI) was - gentle, subtle, personal yet real and devastating. So I'm afraid that not a lot of people will appreciate it for its worth.
>>139248836
Bahamut S1 kinda crumbled production and narrative wise, not really looking forward to anything they do this year other than Katabuchi's movie.
Original series worth watching?
>>139248836
I'm really looking forward to all of their new work. Hopefully Days and YUURI!!! on Ice will attract some of those precious fujobucks.
>>139249019
Yes.
>>139247373
I'm so hyped for Majestic Prince. I gave up hope since it was 3 years ago. Hopefully that means Maou-sama s2 is right around the corner since they aired the same season.
>>139249019
Do it now.
>>139249111
I just want those two to end up together, it was a huge cocktease.
>>139248965
Virgin Soul's script is apparently already completed. S1 had obvious hiccups from hurried readjustments to changes in script so I hope that's history.
>>139247888

>>139250371

4 4 2,926 2015/05/27 Fall Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis
I dunno if I'd call that an outright flop. It looks more like it did mediocre to me. A shame, it deserved to do better.
>>139245180
Do we know if the same production division was behind Manaria?
>>139254489
Truly feels like sales are irrelevant for Cygames, and understandably so. They'll continue funding anime as long as the guy in charge wants it.
>>139256292
Which is good. I'll keep watching it as long as MAPPA keeps making it. Still a shame MAPPA hasn't really scored a hit yet. They're a studio who definitely deserve one.
>>139256482
I agree they do deserve one. It just shows why studios don't like taking risks anymore. MAPPA seems to have this niche of producing quality animation and as long as wallet giants will continue funding them I'm content with it.
>>139256962
Has Bahamut been the highest seller for MAPPA so far? I think Sakamichi no Apollon did similar numbers, but lower, and Garo: HnK tanked pretty bad.
And yeah, Manglobe was kind of another studio who seemed to like taking risks. Too bad they got QUALITY as fuck at the end and died. I hope MAPPA doesn't have the same fate.
>>139257215
Their highest seller this far is Teekyuu.
>>139234965
>getting mad that you fell for the bait
Yuri on Ice will be a good, 7-8/10 sports anime, and there will be no cute girls fucking. Get cucked.
>>139236319
She'll be the stinger at the end of the first cour. "Virgin Soul" obviously refers to her.
Top tier vagina bones on the new MC.
>>139257287
and they're milking Teekyu to the ground, so that's good for them

This news makes me happy.
I'm glad I didn't delete my SnB folder.

People do this? I still have stale memes from 2007 saved.

They haven't said. I'm guessing fall though.
>>139259550
Fuck. Gonna be a hard wait. Dunno why I thought it would be coming so soon. PV got me too hyped.
>>139259588
I guess summer is possible, but I dunno. I get the feeling it'll be in fall though, but hey, I've been wrong before.

>People do this?
I've done it a few times if I really need the space and it's a something I don't really need pics for. I thought Bahamut's second season got cancelled a while ago, and I almost pulled the trigger but I just waited.
>>139259646
That's fair. I usually delete tv shows or movies if I need space. It's a bit of a painful experience, but usually the ones I delete can be found again easily in the future.
Maybe you got confused with the yuri one. That's the one that's been cancelled/indefinitely delayed.
>>139259646
If you need space why would you delete an image folder of all things?
>>139259748
It wasn't recently, I just remember there being word that there was gonna be a second season, and then there was no word for months. I figured it died a quiet death and they buried it in the back yard without anyone knowing.

I have really tight margins on my hard drive space, so freeing up one or two gigs can really help when downloading shit.
>>139259949
I know that feeling. I have a tendency to archive a lot of stuff, so even when I delete things, I grab them again in the future when I have a new hard drive. I've probably done this with my Battlestar Galactica collection three or four times by now.
Horsebro was best bro.

Toei makes a ton of money. Perhaps more studios should try emulating Toei's solid business decisions on how to structure the anime episodes.

Maybe there'll be some fun side adventures? It's the perfect setting for random stories and monsters.

Isn't their angles more so merchandise?
