I just watched the second season of Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. and so far the second season is shaping up to be okay. I am slightly concerned though since it seems like they're going to start moving away from the meat and potatoes of the first season focusing on the main girl and the client facing side of the business world of magical girls and going more into the shady backrooms and business politics shit which is always fucking awful to watch.

If you're looking for something new this season I'd give the first season a spin and then if you like that season 2 is releasing right now.

I think it's hilarious that at the end of Chainsmoker Cat they had to give a disclaimer about how smoking underage is illegal and you shouldn't do it. Who's going to watch that show and go "Yeah man. I gotta get in on some of that!" after seeing the MC and the way she lives?

Teenagers are fucking stupid. Like pants on head retarded stupid.

Oh of course but once you're that retarded a written warning is going to make you want to do it more. Yeah, I know it's to please the lawyers, but I still laugh at it.

So the first episode of the new Ghost in the Shell is available on Amazon. So far it's a pretty fun watch.

Done with the first episode of the new Ghost in the Shell. So finally we have a 1-1 adaptation of the original work. Might cause quite the whiplash for people unfamiliar with the manga. The show looks gorgeous and the only criticism I have so far is the OST.

Watched the first episode of the new GitS.
All and all it's very well done, but as someone who does fuck with the source of material let's just say it demonstrates once again why Shirow's writing should never be left as-is in an adaptation of his work.
That type of dialogue is clunky as shit when spoken out loud and its going to be the main thing that filters out people alongside its tonal dissonance. People who read the manga will get exactly what they want, people who only watched the movies and SAC will wonder WTF are they watching and larpers are gonna larp.

Where did you watch it at?

Where did you watch it at?

It should be up on the usual spots now. Officially its on Prime and Netflix

The show looks gorgeous and the only criticism I have so far is the OST.

I enjoyed the music the most. What was your issue?

 

[DocAwe]

Hopefully I'll be able to watch it unofficially soon.

I enjoyed the music the most.

It's of course too early to tell, but it felt a bit too "modern anime" for my taste. What I heard was competently done, and I am of course immediately comparing it to the movies and SAC, but it did wow me or left a big impression on me. More like a minor nitpick but not much else to talk about really.
