why is it called heaven society tho?

 

Because the co-founder couldn't think of a good name.

Come on now, I think it's a good name.
If you translate it to Japanese and back to English on google translate, it becomes Heavenly World. Which could be an accurate depiction of many Anime in general due to their impossible scenarios that sound like heaven compared to real life.

Well Grand blue is getting an anime series,wonder if they will do a good adaption considering the manga is top tier.

[Eduard the weeb]

oh shit just realized this is probably gonna be the second topic that gets to 100K replies later this year lol

 

 

[Eduard the weeb]

I personally plan to watch mostly older anime ( not OLD like early 2000 anime just anime from past years ) this season but I hope 7 deadly sins does well

Hmmmm...looking at this list really does make me question how much free time I have. In the past week, I've watched a 24eps series, 5 12/13eps series, 3 short animes (sub 10mins/episodes, 6-12eps), 2 movies and 10+ airing/other episodes. I really should study for exams instead of watching anime and playing WOWs...

Agreed, I think it was sarcasm but i also am going to assume he tried it so maybe he assumed it was a translated phrase to begin with. I feel like the club has almost ceased in the meantime

ReLIFE: Kanketsu-hen

They're doing a second session of ReLIFE?

Its only 4 episodes but yep, they are. I've already forgotten how it ended originally but this is supposedly the "final arc" so maybe we'll get a nice conclusion to this series plus the Manga is supposed to end in March, the same month it starts airing so...

4 episodes isn't a whole lot but hopefully it come to a nice ending and not like that cliff hanger that last season left us with

As the manga would have ended by then, I'm optimistic for an actual conclusion. Whether its a good conclusion or not, we can only wait  however as long as the conclusion isn't one of those where it can be interpreted as both an actual conclusion or cliffhanger, I'd be happy.

feel like it killed off all the little hype for Seven deadly sins I had seen kinda sad.

I binged all of Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor yesterday, solid 8/10 show imo. Some stereotypes are present as usual, but the magic system is actually expanded and worked out to something interesting.

I watched it around 3 weeks ago and I'd probably give it a 8.5. 

[Eduard the weeb]

8/10 from here as well if watched as a stand alone, but it skipped over a lot of stuff to try and shove as much of the light novel into 12 episodes.

As a result, 5 volume of the light novel was shoved into 12 episodes. That's A LOT.

Especially when you consider other anime like SAO, did 12 episodes for 2 volumes, to cover as much as possible the original content.

This is almost Oregairu level of rushed(6 volumes in 13 episodes), which skipped so many events it barely held itself together.

 

Though they still somehow managed to make it enjoyable to watch, I feel like it could've been so much more. I guess this is the problem with some light novels where there's barely any "action" in a given volume.

Oh wow, I knew it was based on a novel, but considering how much I enjoyed it I thought it was like a single book.

I suppose that explains why the story overall felt a bit rushed, like they did a whole lot of world building for 12 episodes.

 

Do you know where I can find English translations of the books?

Volume 1 and 2 are officially out in English, you can find them on Amazon or elsewhere.

Volume 3 is set to release in April.

 

As for fan translations, Volume 1 and 2 were translated by "yuNS translation". They started work on Volume 3 but they aren't far into it.

As for Volume 4 and 5, I got nothing.

Volume 6 is fully translated by a group named "Noblesse Oblige Translations".

 

The thing with light novel translations by fans, is that they often end up dropping them once a publisher pick up the series for official release in their language and if not, they slow the translation pace so much that the official release has time to catch up to them, making future work pointless so they drop it as well.

You can generally find most light novel translation websites/groups on this site:
