Preview of Taimadou ep 12 is up.
Will Silver Link kill the episode or not? Let's bet on that.
>>135123969
At least that OST is going to be baller.
The anime has been pretty good so far. The pacing's felt a little off, but it tried to do a lot so I can forgive it.
Synopsis from the official site
>ホーンテッドの奇襲を受け、串刺しにされたタケル。その姿を目にしたキセキの中の異形は、絶叫とともに暴走を始める。触れたものすべてを侵食し、自らの一部と化してしまう幻想生物・百鬼夜行。ひたすらに増殖を続ける異形は、周囲のあらゆるものを飲み込み始める。今を共に生きる仲間たちのため全てを賭けて戦うことを決意し、遂にヴラドとの契約を果たした桜花。そして小隊の仲間たち――うさぎ、斑鳩、マリもまた、この事態を収束すべく、それぞれに戦いを続けていた。一方、意識を失ったタケルは、異空間でラピスと対峙していた。彼女は再びタケルに問う。「あなたは目的のためならば、大切な物を捨てられますか？」と。そのとき彼の脳裏に浮かんだのは……。

well, that's that then, confirmed for no Season 2 since they've just torched Laugh Maker arc.
In retrospect, I was an idiot for hoping this could be the next Strike the Blood.

>tfw picking up a show at the end of the season and finding its good and realizing you missed out
FUCK
>>135124468
>good
It's a pale shadow of its potential.
But at least the threads were entertaining and generated a handful more novelfags.
>>135124065
Isn't that alright? I mean, we should let other anime have the spotlight right. Competition's tough for ideas to get animated after all.
>>135124357
What did you expect? It was only 12 episodes.
>>135124517
That what I got, is pretty accurate.
All 3 shows were pretty damn fun.
>>135124468
It's the dangers of being on the internet. People really like to hate on shows they haven't seen discouraging others to even try them.
All 3 harem shows this season were fun. None of them were Infinite Stratos tier.
>>135124524
The problem is the wasted potential, there's so much crazy chuuni shit that happens in the later novels that would be great to see on screen, and the voices and OST are perfect.
Then again, given the fact that the director is such a hack that he somehow managed to make an overclocked shapeshifting magical swordfight with a railgun-armed robotic King Arthur and the ghosts of the Knights of the Round Table to be boring, it might be better that they never get there if they aren't going to change directors.
>>135124065
Do you expect a sequel from a show that got a record for the most rushed story in a season?
>>135124662
>None of them were Infinite Stratos tier.
Could you expand on that? What sets them aside from Infinite Stratos?
How does it feelanon that the novel translation will never be picked up anymore just when we're 3-4 volumes away from the end.Decade of waiting in Bookwalker global to catch upsoon.
>>135124065
>actually expecting second season
anon, even the most highest (still flop) haremshit(just exclude bake) which is rakudai haven't got a 2nd season(dont argue with me on how asterisk got a 2nd season because it is just aniplex being aniplex) how much more in a show that ranked in around 2kth place the last time i checked stalker?

>having a party right after finishing the final episode recording
Whatever happens in the finale, it will be a blast.Literally or figuratively that is.
>>135123969
There is no need to make a bet on that, we all know SL will do their best to screw up.
>>135126177
Wait did kyril really drop the novels.
>>135128157
Haunted hijacked it. Of course it's going to be fucking crazy.
>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-19/kadokawa-launches-novel-0-light-novel-label/.96523
Looks like the LN author is going to write a book for Kadokawa's new line of LN's for adults.
Is this Witch Hunter Ouka? I see a bit of red.
>>135124065
Ouka makes the contract in Vol 5. Still not going to get a S2 though.
>>135124065
But doesn't Ouka make the contract at the end of volume 5? Vampire form is volume 7, though.
>>135128759
Looks like she's about to punch so I'd assume it is.
>>135124517
What does this even mean? You were expecting superpowers? You were expecting the strongest animes of all?
>>135129881
Looks quite faithful to the LN design. Maybe hope still exists!
>>135129989
Of course the girl is the only one who doesn't get a shitty helmet and CGI though.
>>135130025
>tfw this could have happened for takeru and kyouya
>tfw we could have been looking forward to seeing a god hunter helmet for the first time
>>135124468
But that's the best part.
Being able to marathon the show if you please.
Not lurking the threads and reading spoilers.
>>135123969
>Lapis is face to face
wasn't she supposed to be behind him?
Will Silver Link ruin Christmas?
>We'll never get more of Lapis
My butt hurts a lot.
I wouldn't be so pissed off if it weren't for the fact that the translator threw a shitfit and dropped the novels even though he hadn't actually received a DMCA.
>>135130488
I want Nero's butt to hurt a lot.
>>135130544
He didn't really throw a a shitfit, he just removed it for now before he got dmca'd. Once things blow over and if anti-magic doesn't get yen pressed, he might come back to it.
>>135130549
Nero needs a rough fucking.
>>135130544
He even put a Haunted picture next to his post.
Haunted always gets the last laugh. Always.
>>135130607
He said in the comments that it's possible, but "don't count on it".
>>135130815
Well shit.
>>135130815
Well we can always hope. Hope he picks something else up in the meantime since he does fast translations.
>>135130815
Great, there goes my hope.
Last episode when?
10 mins until SL saves Christmas.

She said all the lines, but it sounded far less epic than in the novels for some reason.

The last line was great, though.
wtf is that
>>135131990
I don't know, sounded pretty decent here.
>Godslayer light is blue
Isn't it supposed to be twilight colored? You know, Twilight-type Relic Eater and all that.
They're replacing Takeru vs Kana with Takeru vs Haunted?
>>135132002
Why?
>>135131974
Lapis wins?
>Kiseki arguing with hyakki yakou
what
she embrace her desire to die with oniichan that's the point of her character
Wait. why the fuck did Hyakki disappear?
christmas is saved
Well, that ending was extremely unsatisfying.
>literally aborted the entire post-V5 plot
Why did we even get Orochi and Kana
SL didn't find a way
They cut out everything about what God Hunter form was even about, made Orochi and Kana pointless, had Takeru beat Haunted with some weird asspull and messed up Kiseki's character.
How is this saving her at all? Isn't she just going back to her cell to get tortured again? Why did Orochi decide to abort the mission?
How could you hate such a happy ending?
>>135131765
Some hips
>>135132357
Because it's clear that nothing makes any fucking sense, God Hunter was underwhelming and treated as a simple powerup instead of Takeru signing his soul away only to reject Lapis right afterwards, Kiseki's character was trashed (why doesn't she want oniichan to die with her?), Orochi and Kana leave for no reason, literally nothing about this ending makes any sense.
Holy shit they might as well have just left it an open ending with Takeru and Mari captured by Valhalla, the rest of the 35th hauled off for questioning, and Kiseki goes off to her VR dungeon. It would have been about as satisfying.
>>135132553
The only thing I liked about God Hunter here was Takeru's hair turning blue, and Lapis never saying a word. It was the only implication that they'd fused into one being.
What a complete joke. Why did they even make this show? What were they hoping to get out of it?

Missed the live stream
How bad was it.
>>135132827
It got me interested to read it
>>135132840
It was okay right up until the very end where everything stopped having a semblance of coherence.
>>135132930
And that ending is going to put everybody off reading it
At least if they just did the exact same ending as volume 5 that MIGHT tempt someone to get the book to find out what happens next.
This just leaves a bad taste in the mouth and fails to deliver on anything the story was building up to.

>>135132450
Everything was worth waiting for this picture I guess.
I love group shots.
>>135132568
At least we know the better parts will never get this treatment.
I hope this director doesn't get work ever again.
Come on guys it wasn't THAT bad.
Didn't watch the ep yet but I see Kiseki getting saved?
You what?
>>135133220

>>135133248
>Takeru: KISEKI LET'S DIE TOGETHER
>Kiseki: YES ONII-CHAN
>Takeru: Actually Kiseki wait I want to save you
>Kiseki: ok
Okay I was wrong.
I thought if they ended it off with WELCOME TO MAGIC ACADEMY to be way too jarring and would resemble Mahou Sensou levels of confusion and cliffhanging.
But I was wrong.
>mfw this episode
>>135133294
Where does Sougetsu fit into all of this in the anime then.
At least they didn't use the OP during the final battle.
>>135133527
It wouldn't have fitted in well. It was always a surprisingly mild OP given how much suffering the source novels have, but then again SL took a big shit all over it anyway.
Think the translator will pick this series up to continue the light novels or maybe someone else? Actually really like this series. Gonna read volumes 6-11 now
>>135133910
Nothing wrong with just dropping a pastebin link somewhere.
I hope. I mean he's got to be somewhat interested to a series to a degree where he bothered translating it all so far.

>>135134007
Gotta pick Ouka in the end.
>>135134007
>Ikarugabro
>>135134007
Really, guys? Really?
>>135134007
Here's a tougher question
>>135134007
>pick one
I can't.
>>135134247
Marifags confirmed for samefaggingI'm joking.
>>135134247
Mari is cute and all
But she really needs a flag event
Ouka has had at least 2 route-locking ones.
Secondary here. I want to ask, is there any sort of romantic development from Takeru or he's like Touma? Also, is it wort reading the LN since the translator stopped fearing DMCA?
>>135134247
I preferred Mari before but now I am an Oukafag, sorry.
>>135134355
But Ouka is a monster.
>>135134321
There's loads but the actual plot and war involvement leave little time for that kind of shit.
The volumes get through shit really fast but in a good way.
>>135134271
Pretty much, everyone is nice
>>135134355
Same here.
>>135134386
I said this yesterday but the fact that she's even allowed to make her own independent decision that people don't agree with actually just makes me like her even more.
>>135134321
>I want to ask, is there any sort of romantic development from Takeru or he's like Touma?
They have too much apocalyptic shit to worry about to have any time to spare on romance but as things stand Lapis and Ouka are probably ahead of the pack
>Also, is it worth reading the LN since the translator stopped fearing DMCA?
I'd say it is, where the novels are at the moment is still at the conclusion of a major arc so it's not like it's left all the plot threads hanging.
In an ideal reality the anime might have gotten some translator anon interested in it who is willing to pastebin translations or something but we live in an imperfect world.
So it was anime original endo?
>>135134007
>Ouka is winning
What happened?
>>135134507
Carrying Takeru's burden happeened
>>135134007
Usagi finally got a vote
Bless you, anon.
>>135134554
I really wanted to vote for Usagi but in the end Ouka just wins out to me.
When I die, I want Silver Link to lower me into my grave, so they can let me down one more time.

And this is why you check the staff first before watching a show. After seeing the director's previous work or lack thereof, you have no one but yourself to blame.
>>135134502
The worst kind of anime original end, one that directly contradicts internal consistency.
>>135134687
Every director was new at some point, and I hoped that the solidity of the source material might make up for it.

Subs in around 30 min?
Well, time to move on and have my hopes and dreams destroyed by the next anime I make the mistake of caring about.
Anybody else here going to be watching Muv-Luv Schwarzesmarken this coming season? I'm sure there must be some cross pollination between the fanbases of that and this.
>>135135104
I'm a Muv-Luvfag so yeah I'm gonna be watching that.
>>135135104
Gonna watch for Yukarin voice and Irisdina, I guess.
But has any Muvluv anime done well?
>>135135104
Yeah. It's probably going to be shit anyway.
Also gonna be watching Schwarzesmarken since I played Muv Luv Extra/Unlimited, Alternative and watched Total Eclipse
With a wimper
Yep, time to watch your waifu die a gory death again
It's time.
>>135123969
I'm glad it's over.
All in all entertaining even though they went towards more focus on harem antics but I still feel disappointed considering Lapis got shafted even in that area.
>>135135104
Do you need to watch the other Muv-Luv stuff before this?
![Taimadou-20Gakuen-2035-20Shiken-20Shoutai-20Episode-2012.mp4_snapshot_21.03_[2015.12.24_04.34.32].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/R4EspVp.jpg "Taimadou-20Gakuen-2035-20Shiken-20Shoutai-20Episode-2012.mp4_snapshot_21.03_[2015.12.24_04.34.32].jpg")
Seriously the only good part of the episode. Dont argue with me about ouka's relic eater's costume since it's underwhelming.
>>135135104
So Muv-luv is animated by SL? Anyway, would i do fine if i watch Schwarzesmarken if i have zero knowledge about the muv-luv franchise?

>>135136924
not really, the anime treated it as if it is just an ordinary power-up with no negative effect. If i remember correctly, takeru can only maintain God Hunter form by 10 seconds.
this was the end? or there´s a 13?

not sure if b8 but asterisk was utter crap it doesn't even deserve any comparison
rakudai has cringy first episodes but it gradually went better ... just the opposite of taimadou
>>135136924
SL just ignored the question.
.
For all of their issues, I'd still rate all three of the battle harems a cut above the shitfest that was Winter.
>>135137135
>>135137149
Fuck , he's cool for an uncle. Ohtori dude was bad all along , who would have guessed.
Oh my that was underwhelming.
Yeah, really weak last episode.
Fuck the ending, Who waiting for glorious OST here.
>>135137163
How was Asterisk bad?
It had the same story like Taimadou with great girls like Saya , Kirin , Claudia.
Or are upset because of the last episode powerlevel bullshit?
>>135137277
Lelouch, Lelouch, I think about you everyday,
I'll always be here to call you a gay.
You may think my comments are rude,
But deep down, I think you're a pretty cool dude.
Although your posts make me feel real sick,
I kinda want to tickle your dick.
I want to mail you gushing barrels of my shit,
And arrive straight at your door to nibble on your boytit.
I wish to bungle your boypussy until you queef,
And spread my mayonnaise on your angus beef.
I know this isn't quite halel,
But I really want to drop my salty hummus on your falafel.
I sometimes dream of your tender lip,
All over which I'd spill--my white bean dip.
Ignore all the anons who tell you die.
I'll forever remain by your side, to shower you with coconut cream pie.
You may find this poem to be poorly-written and disgusting,
but always remember that you'll be the cake to my frosting.
So we're not getting family hijinks with Kanaria?

He's at least a few generations before. So like great gear great uncle
>>135137467
That's not even the chuuni part Kusanagi, you should definitely read the LNs.
>>135137458
I would say that Rakudai and Asterisk started the same. Rakudai got more interesting because of the fights and Asterisk managed to get more boring.
You can say that Asterisk's harem is better than Rakudai, since Rakudai barely gives any kind of relevance to them, but Rakudai is way more interesting to watch.

FUCK YOU SL! You made haunted a fucking jobber by being defeated by ouka and takeru.
I read vol. 5 for the first time just recently.
It was all so depressing. I can understand why they did it this way, but it doesn't stop it from being sad. Since they chose the single cour path, they would not be able to make a satisfying conclusion no matter how they approached the continuity.
The story picks up right after vol. 5, which is also the ending point of the adaptation. Even if they went for two well-paced, faithful cours, it still would not feel right. Oh, the despair.
I should stop watching adaptations.
>>135137813
ED was much more fitting. And while playing the OP in the last episode can work well, these days it feels like it's done out of obligation more than anything. I thought this was a better use of insert song than either Asterisk or Rakudai's last episodes.
>>135136668
Wasn't Suzaku supposed to be a spitting image of ikaruga and isuka, just with grey hair? Why the fuck pettan?

>>135137762
>Rakudai got more interesting because of the fights
>Rakudai is way more interesting to watch
Rakudai is as interesting as watching pigeons eat whatever is on the ground. The fights is the last thing you should consider as good reason to find it interesting because they were mostly shit. Remember those good fights with Stella? Yeah, me neither. Always winning off-screen or with a one-hit as a good mary sue. And from all the battles the MC fought, only fucking one was good. But now that I think about it you're right, there was nothing else about Rakudai so if you watched it for the fights I guess that's ok.
>>135138225
Well at this point she isn't described, and since she can change bodies she could potentially take any form. It makes sense so long as she dies at some point between this and volume 9 and changes body again.
>>135138225
Why is she so sexual?
>>135137469
Yes"Even if that was just a change of heart for you, for me it was the rejection of fusion between me and the contractor, that is enough for me to lose trust in you."
"...that God Hunter, is it fusion? Not only erosion?"
"Yes. It's a fusion with the contractor's soul. You will quit being human, and after fusing with me you will transition into an existence from another dimension. And with that, you shall obtain power to slaughter gods."
"...I don't really get it, but what does that mean to you?"
Lapis went silent for a moment as if she were thinking about it, and answered indifferently.
"Hmm. If I were to represent it in a way easy for humans to understand——it would be synonymous with sex."
"Nn? What?"
"Sex. A sexual activity. Expressing it from the human point of view, it would be as if we kissed making mood, took off our clothes and at the moment 'come on, let's start' should come, you said 『Your body is too poor so I can't get erect, goodbye——"
"Wait wait wait waittt! Is that something akin to what lovers do?!"
Hearing that, he understood that what Ananda and Inia said was entirely correct, and he received quite the shock.
"For us Magical Heritages, that's what it means. If for living organisms their ultimate goal is to produce offspring, Magical Heritage's final goal is to fuse with their contractor."
>>135138278
Actually she might have been described at volume 5 with Sougetsu, nevermind you're right, SL being bad at reading as usual.
OP is great

They could have easily made this work with a better director and writer. Especially if they're not braindead enough to put in side chapter filler instead of just faithfully doing the fifth volume's arc.
I blame the publishers. Probably the producers. But also the literal who director.
>>135138284
ty anon
>>135138272Careful there anon, if that faglord wakes up and see what you wrote. He will surely call you as an asteriskfag.
>>135138284
thanks
It is good to know the best girl wins
>>135138272
You say as if Asterisk had any good fight.
All Ikki's fights were kinda okay, except for Kuraudo, but at least they were something. Shizuku's fight was pretty good too.
With that you had at least 2 really good fights in a battle fantasy anime that barely had a harem against a whole cour without anything interesting to talk about.
Oh, I guess Kirin is cute, but that's about it.
>>135138282
No clue, LN's Suzaku was very booby, grey haired, wore black lab coat and had no interest in anything other than science. In fact, she has no soul so she has no real emotions except the curiosity she "programmed" into herself hundreds of years earlier..
So like....... the fuck happened? nothing?
>>135138463
Not him but why the heck did you mention asterisk? His only argument is that "if you're watching rakudai for things other fight scenes then you're a faggot."
>>135138341
They could have adapted it much better, that much is certain, but if they decided to end it on vol. 5 while adapting it faithfully, it would either end with Takeru just being kidnapped or him waking up and seeing the magic academy. Neither are good conclusions to an anime that has a 0% chance of a second season.
The only good way to end would beTakeru and Kiseki double suicide.
>>135138529
The episode was Haunted jobbing to Ouka and Takeru, Takeru's team having a FRIENDSHIP moment and having him saving Kiseki. All that done in a really underwhelming way.
>>135138580
No. But it's a good conclusion for an anime that's sole purpose is to advertise the LN.
>>135138558
I mentioned Asterisk because he said "Asterisk played safe and managed to be something really average".
I only said that Asterisk was really boring.
>>135138341
>put in side chapter filler
Considering the timing of when the side volume came out, I have to wonder if that was actually the director's decision to adapt that.
>>135137260
girly armors are shit. the guy looks way better.
he looked like blue wolf heavy armor from L2
>>135137260
As much as I love Ouka, it pisses me off that she's the only one who gets a faithful Witch Hunter form with no bullshit CGI.
>>135137290
mc was a faggot and the blonde cowtits a shit. what do you like about her?
don´t say "ara ara" shit.
>>135137260
>>135138739
But she has a cape. And capes make everything automatically better.
Plus, it lets her fly.
>>135138642
I suppose. I prefer to look at any adaptation as more than just an advertisement, but I guess I am the one at fault there.
It did get me to read the LN, so I suppose it did its job, even if in a very poor way.
>>135132061
What color is twilight?
>mfw it actually happened
oh god.
>>135138776
>mc was a faggot
I would rather watch him than the beta cuck from rakudai who needs his woman to save him.
>blonde cowtits a shit
anon, there were lots of other girls...
Do anyone else think that only Kusanagi's witch hunter form had a good design?
Kyouya's and Kusanagi's god hunter form look bad and Ouka's looks kinda plain.
>>135136651
Not really
Ouka completely stole this episode away. Everything else was so bad.
>>135136651
Not really, and Tortilla Chips is a pretty bad adaption either way. But I would recommend reading the VN trilogy anyway because it's good.
>>135138892
It actually had a form to be drawn based off the LN. Kyouya's looked way too soldier-ish, it needed to be more organic.
>>135138914
Ouka is a bad tsundere
>>135138962
Come over here and say that motherfucker
>>135138962
Actually I find her to be a rather nice and enjoyable one.
>>135138942
I guess I was expecting an armor that would outline her body well and a cool helmet. But I guess it's too much to put a helmet on a heroine when it comes to animu design.
>>135138939
Watched TE a few months ago. I didn't think it was as bad as people made it out to be. When it got more serious with the BETA or the terrorism arc at the end, it was pretty decent. Rest of it was mediocre. Probably helped that I watched the BD version.
I might have messed up but here
does anyone have the download for the pdfs of the LN?
>>135139098
It's not that TE is bad on its own, but it's a horrible adaption of the source material.

thanks m8, have some demon thighs
I wanted to like this series but wow, that was one shitty ending. You could really see that they had completely run out of budget.
Even though the resolution was a complete cop out, I guess at least Ouka got a happy ending from it.
This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime. This anime.
This anime is an eyesore.
Well that was fun. I needed some chuunishit in my life this season.
Time to move on to the next one.
Patiently waiting for the OST.
>kiseki crashes in rakudai and asterisk
Will there be survivors /a/?
>>135138625
Nah I liked it
>>135139416
No.
>>135138463
I wasn't really comparing Asterisk and Rakudai, just talking about how badly Rakudai is handled as opposed to what you said about it being interesting to watch. My opinion on Asterisk is it had ok-good fights but nothing really that stood out. Probably the last fight was the peak. Meanwhile Rakudai had bellow mediocre fights and a couple of good fights. So how can you say Rakudai was interesting because of the fights if even that was in general mediocre except for a couple? Rakudai didn't have anything else to it either. Taimadou did it good by developing characters and had ok-good fights as well. Rakudai failed at this.
>>135137414
Best scene in the whole episode. I still hate the fact SL fucked up the adaptation overall though.
>>135139221
I want to stick my face in between her thighs and inhale deeply.
Someone should update this image with suzaku, kanaria and vlad.
>>135139615
I'm just saying that Rakudai at least managed to deliver good moments. My biggest grip with Asterisk is that it is overall mediocre, and I prefer an anime that has its good and bad moments than an anime that it's overall flat.
Taimadou anime manages to be a good ride all the way except to the last 2 episodes because it has some good moments, average fights but really good characters or at least for a battle fantasy harem.
If I had to rate them it would be: Taimadou 6 or 7/10, Rakudai 6/10 and Asterisk first cour 4/10.
>>135139833
Those images look like shit, what happened there?
