This haremshit did not deserve a Maya Sakamoto ED.
>>139427059
The LN art is so shit.
>>139428486
I know. Okiura is shit.
>>139428536
Why can't Kasuga illustrate every battlr harem?
>>139429961
I don't know about Ayumu's other LN woks, but he/she probably does it for the mecha in Bahamut and Twintails.
Kasuga draws the best flat chests and twintails.
>>139429961
Okiura is just a special level of shit. Kasuga, Miyama0, Hisasi and Ookuma are all pretty good illustrators.
>>139430524
Kasuga draws breasts a lot better than Ookuma.
>>139431075
I don't like Kasuga's cowtits that much. Only small and medium sized.

Better than pic related, which is literally balloons.

Pic related looks a bit better than that, I'll admit that does look pretty shit.
A best.
>>139431363
Is that semen
>>139434991
Yes
>>139431309
I don't know why but those tits really turn me on. Having them forced upwards and squishing them together is just so fucking hot.
>>139422489
THE CODEX ASTARTES NAMES THIS MANEUVER STEEL RAIN!
...
In any case, I think the show would have gone over a lot better if they'd gotten to the Phoenix Festa faster. Once that happens, the intelligence war paralleling the tournament makes the whole thing jump a tier above the usual fighting tournament shit.
>>139424847
A-1 gonna A-1

Remember Mio outsold both Stella and Julis
>>139434588

>>139437588
Its expected
Shes better than both
>>139435137
>but those tits really turn me on
Pretty sure that was the intention of the person who drew it
>>139437588
It can't be helped. Julis as a character is better, but Testament have nice animated ecchi and fanservice, and people buy it for that.
>>139437906
>Mio
>better than anyone
>>139438103
She's at least better than Stella.
>>139438103
She is, because she's not annoying and the MC in her show isn't a self-righteous faggot.
>>139438186
I hate Stella too but Mio is possibly the biggest and most useless slut I've seen in anime. If Stella has one redeeming factor over Mio, its that she's honest with Ikki most of the time.
>>139438229
Mio is the most annoying bitch in Shinmai, what are you talking about? I agree about Basara though.
>>139438303
>Mio is the most annoying bitch in Shinmai,
How do you figure? She just walks around half naked saying "Onii-chan...please!" and then helps him evaporate things. The less they try to give LN girls "complex" personalities the better, because these authors can't write for shit. She's inoffensive and cute, and is actually forthcoming about wanting the MC. I can dig that.
>>139438251
Mio is a tsundere, mate. And on that account, she did it better than Stella. Mio needed to be tame and tame her the MC did. It was satisfying when she got tame. Unlike Stella, she didn't want MC's dick just like that after one encounter and a few words.
>>139438422
So basically you just want to remove all shit besides the fanservice?
s2 better have more claudia
>>139438536
Don't pretend for a single second that there's any other reason to watch a battle harem LN. If you're reading these for anything other than cheap ecchi thrills and power trips, you should consider suicide. The writing in these types of series is offensively bad, and the less seriously they take themselves the better.
>>139438433
The anime version of Mio is a shit, but the LN version is much better. The anime did a terrible job showing her transformation from tsundere into full on lusting after Basara's dick.
>>139438620
MC is still a phaggot all the Claudia service in the world can't save this show.
>>139438671
>Read the LN!
>The anime butchered it!
>I swear the exposition and internal monologue in the LNs makes the whole thing better and make more sense!
I wish I could hate you to death.
>>139438103
Shes adorable and sexy as fuck
How can anyone dislike her
>>139438743
99% of harem MCs are faggots. If you haven't learned to overlook and ignore that when they are made to self-insert, then you are still too new to harem.
>>139438645
I do read for fun but it's nice to have a fucking plot sometimes depending on the series. It's all in execution. DAL and DxD are examples where the slightest bit of plot usually makes it more fun, whereas Bahamut's plot made it way worse.
>>139438925
They all have a plot, every single one of them. The most serious and bogged down in the plot they get, the worse they become. The characters and their struggles are just not well written.
>>139439434
That can be offset by good action usually, which is something a good portion of them lack.
>>139439484
>That can be offset by good action
Yes, that's what I said. Cool fights and ecchi, it's a power trip fantasy. I don't care what depth the author pretends to give the characters. Someone is a demon king/god/monarch/arch-fiend/hero/chosen one/"weakest" underdog who has to fight against some other kingdom/faction. The more series they try to get with the plots and characters, the worse they get. Mio one shotting some giant colossus thing in an arena? Fucking cool, sign me up. Basara actually assassinating a dude behind the scenes? Sweet, give me more. Maria faking out whathisface and then ripping his arm off? Even better.
I'm not watching these series to learn about the plight of a foreign princess who's trying to restore her kingdom while balancing a social/love life with some star crossed lover while they both learn how to bring peace and democracy to the demon realm.
>>139439713
Huh, the action for Shinmai never really did it for me. It always felt half-assed especially for a battle harem to me.
>>139439985
>Huh, the action for Shinmai never really did it for me
They're blowing up and zapping shit with big lasers and explosions. That's all I really want.
>It always felt half-assed especially for a battle harem to me.
Compared to what? There's no shaky cam CG mechs bashing into each other. That instantly makes it better than most.
>>139440802
IMS' animation just never felt right to me. They might be better in the LN's, but the anime's version of the fights never sat right with me for some reason. Normally, those explosions and shit should be fine for me and Basara getting armor should have been a big plus for me but yeah the animation or something always seemed off to me.
I want to cum inside Kirin.

Oh, you meant actual animation quality. Yeah I can't fault you on that one.
Still, I'd prefer QUALITY to CGshit any day of the week.
>>139441654
Yeah, CG fucking ruined Antimagic aside from the pacing for me.
>>139441460

One scene I look forward to most in S2, among a few other things. Julis' scenes with Flora are just too darn cute, and Flora is the cutest little thing.
reminder that violet a best and those two are >>139422489 whores.
http://anitay.kinja.com/asterisk-war-2-cancelled-cites-famous-youtuber-as-caus-1768537175
Julis and Saya are best. Can't wait to see them fembro it up.
>>139442674
Nice try, Claudia, but you're the best.
The anon who told me to marathon it to catch up because of the slow pace wasn't lying. They sure were taking their time in the first half of S1. You can go ahead and call me a Julisfag now.
>>139443034
Really, anon? I mean, i don't really wanna do it. You really into this?
>>139443034
>>139443034
Fine taste, bro.
Yeah, S1 had a slow start, but the action and pacing picks once the Festa started. The action will get even better in S2 since the Festa runs for 3 volumes long, so there's still volume 4 and 5 to cover.
>>139422489
>alternating between tiny, cute Sayass and amazing 13 year old breasts
Aw yes. Best girls, best threesomes.
>>139443034
I am going to start watching it too. Aside from the slow pace mentioned, anything else?
>>139443552
It'll throw a lot of names of schools and people at you, especially in the second half, without explaining most of it. I like that they don't take time to explain everything as soon as it comes up so that there's no exposition dump. New things and schemes are only explained if the MC doesn't know about them, and he hardly ever hears about inter-school politics.
>More Asterisk without the Rakudai war
Feels weird.
>>139443912
Without the shitposting, we actually have to just watch the show. And who wants that?
>>139443912
I almost miss the Stella shitposter.
>>139443976
You mean ESL-kun? That guy will never leave.
>>139444104
Isn't he the same faggot who was shitting up Shinmai/DxD threads early last year around the time they aired?
>>139443976
>>139444104
There were like 3 Stella shitposters.
>>139444144
That's the one. He loves starting up "fanbase wars" and crying to different translators on animesuki and shit. I can't even imagine how many people he's angrily messaged something like "I know you being shitposting on /a/ and I kick your ass lmao!" while they have no idea what the fuck he's talking about.
>>139444180
Nah, there's one in particular we're thinking of.
>>139444271
God I remember that fucker now. I can't believe I didn't realize that was him back in fall.
>>139444427
He's been at it like it's his job since he first season of Shinmai Maou aired. He's a special one.
>>139441988
Anal rape.
Can I ask you a question, /a/?
Why do you like this series?
I mean, let's be honest. If you watch it for the fighting, you could watch dozens of shows that animate sword fights better than A-1 Pictures. If you watch it for the girls, there are dozens of series that have well-written women AND fanservice. And if you specifically want a battle harem, Rakudai had a much better plot.
So why specifically Asterisk? It's like if you were given a choice of all the different types of sodas in the world, and you go with a generic supermarket cola instead of a name brand.
>inb4 go away Digibro
>>139444180
Two at most.
>>139445046
Go away Digibro.I'm not picky about what I watch for entertainment
>>139445046
>Rakudai had a much better plot.
Nigger, are you serious? There were absolutely zero stakes, the villains had no discernible motivations until literally the last episode, and the only reason the MC accomplished anything was because his retardation was less debilitating that everyone elses on the field.
>>139445046
After watching Bahamut only for Kasuga Ayumu's designs I got into a battle harem and waifu wars mood. I'll also watch Hundred this season if it doesn't suck too much.
>>139445266
I said better. Not good.
>>139445046
No battleharemshit LNs have good plot or good characters. You literally watch them for the cute girls and occasional good fights. The art style is cool, and Kirin is cute as fuck. That's literally it.
Oh, and that genki scientist had great animation when she was on screen.
>>139445266
This guy was worth watching it honestly.
>>139445354
Nice try Stella, no one's buying it.
>>139442732
Claudia is the best thing about this garbage series. It's a shame the MC in this series is only willing to go as far a a head pat.
>>139445354
>Stella
Kek
>>139445579
>Claudia
I can name at least 5 girls in this series better than that shitty Cecilia clone.
>>139445737
All the girls other than Claudia were shit in this series. Shinmai and Rakudai had the superior girls fall season.
>>139445940
Not him, but no. Claudia was definitely the worst.
The only girls worth mentioning from Rakudai is Shizuku and Nene who are about even. Likewise for Shinmai have Maria, Yuki, and Kurumi.
Have there been any noticeable changes in the BD release of the first season so far? And by noticeable, I mean that one scene where Kirin and Saya fight naked in the locker room.
Sylvia > Kirin > Ernesta > Flora > Fan > Irene > Saya > Priscilla > Claudia > Julis
>>139446500
Wasn't that in episode 10? I've only seen BD raws up to 9.
>>139446578
Julis > Flora > Fan > Saya > Ernesta > Sylvia > Irene > Kirin > Priscilla > Claudia
Am I seriously the only one who thinks Julis is neither top tier or shit tier? I think she's somewhere in the middle. She's not as good as some, but there's definitely others much worse than she is.
>>139447230
No, she's kind of just there.
>>139447230
I think you're part of the majority.
>>139447230
She's alright, starts really shitty though.
>>139447230
Shes nothing special
Doesnt really stand out much
>>139447230
Maybe. But objectively as a character, she's top tier. So, there's that.
>>139445413
>>139447230
The only real competition she comes from Kirin. So it's either she's best or Kirin is best.
>>139447440
Really? I thought she had an explosive start that was eye-catching. Her development didn't drag in her arc and made her sympathetic within a reasonable pace.
>>139447512
How so? She seems pretty run of the mill
>>139446578
>>139447003
>Kirin above anyone
She's overrated as fuck.
>>139447707
She was 100% someone's waifu. There's no other explanation.
>>139447817
>>139447767
In terms of characterization and development, not archetype.
>>139447895
She was sakuga'd every scene she was in
>>139447945
Season 1 didn't exactly hype me up or even make me slightly curious to read on ahead so I hope to see whatever makes her that positively viewed.
>>139447969
Too bad the fights didn't get that treatment. I think she had more keyframes than every other character combined.
>>139448049
It's nothing. It's just the stereotypical "princess with a duty to her kingdom who has to balance her royal duties against her social and school life" shit that you see in literally every LN.
>>139448049
Well, next season should adapt the next three volumes, and in those volumes more of Juli's past that connects to a dream that she's pursuing are explored. Plus, worrying implications about her future if she continues down the path she's on, lest MC does something about it.
Curious, which character got your attention from S1 alone?
>>139447945
>Ernesto
>>139448367
>Ernest
>>139448367
Misquote?
>>139448690
The name
>>139447733
>she has* comes
Meh. Late fix.
>>139448367
>>139448653
The power of Ernesta.
>>139448653
I wish there was more of this semen demon in the show.
>>139449028
She was relatively well received for being a one-off character. Maybe they will include her again in the second cour.
>>139449346
My penis would appreciate that.
>>139449028
>>139449346
I really hope to see more of her.
Preferrably in some other sexy, slutty outfit than just another school uniform
>>139449407
>Preferrably in some other sexy, slutty outfit
Isn't that implied? Ojou in slutty outfit is great.
>>139449346
>violent blonde twintails tsundere
Perfection really
They should do an original anime thing and add her to the harem
>>139449677
She might actually. I believe she's from the Queensvale spinoff.
>>139449028
Do we know literally anything about her?
>>139450362
All girls academy, moderate tier ranking, huge slut, probably likes it up the ass and have her twintails pulled
I want to fuck the deadpan expression off Saya's face.
>>139450694
Okiura's art is just so fucking weird
>>139450362
She makes my dick hard. Look at this ass.
>>139450471
>>139450945
Look at these tits too
>>139451042
Too big.
>>139441928
Kirin isn't a loli though, she's way too tall and developed.
>>139451338
>Here comes LRD hours later
>>139451042
I am.
>>139451190
Sounds like Jennie's jealous.
>>139451387
She's too developed and tall to be a loli.
Saya is borderline but looks pre-pubescent enough.
hey geekboy, wanna help test out one of my maddo papa's inventions?
>>139451543
No, I don't like your kind
>Replying to LRD
Stop.
>>139451646
I'm not LRD though.
This is not a loli either.
>>139451646
Post loli and he'll go away eventually.
>>139451646
Nah. Kirin definitely isn't a loli.
Shit's the same as people calling Hestia an oppai loli back then.
The mc of this show is shit.
At least thr girls are cute
>>139451842
I can't tell who is worse, Ayato or Lux
>>139451805
>>139451874
Lux at least was cute.
>>139451874
Lux atleast got some kisses
>>139451874
The faggot from rakudai
>>139451973
This moment salvaged him, he's alright
>>139451805
Best loli.
Harem is my life
>>139452008
Greatest sword story ever told
>>139451874
Lux is cuter
>>139451973
He's chill. Shit taste in girls though.
>>139451874
Lux is cute. Ayato is a better character.
Eternal loli > all loli
>>139451874
Lux was cute as fuck but allergic to any pussy that wasn't dominant enough to pin him down. At least Ayato has a goal to work towards. I much prefer his relationship with Julis over any in Bahamut.
>>139451927
He said post loli you dumb spic
>>139452008

>>139453017
You kidding? The side girls were the best in Asterisk S1
>>139453042
The masses forget about the side girls as soon as they finish episodes usually.
>>139453107
Asterisk was so boring that the side girls were the most interesting ones because lack of screentime added to their charm, less things for us to complain about.
Soon.
>>139452926
>>139453017

>>139441460

>>139456783
Yeah. They know Kirin is the only reason people watch this for.
