Since we now need 3 threads
This be the new anime (current season) discussion thread.
IRONMAN is pretty good, just so you know.
and for those who like obscene humor like SM related subjects, crossdressing, violencing little girls you should watch MM! I have the manga, it is fucking awesome.
Panties and Stockings, overrated shit.

Jesus shit monsters on flaming ghost trains Panty and Stocking. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEpy0znKHWs)
This show just adds to the proof that GAINAX is an absolute genius at producing crazy shit. This is like fanservice in it's absolute purest form. No plot, no depth, no meaning, not even a single attempt at any of that stuff. Just pure action and crazy animation and fanservice. Basically whatever this show does, it does well.
They don't waste a single second of episode time, there is just so much shit going on at every single second that even after several watches there's still stuff you've missed. There is just a never ending stream of chaos on screen at every single moment. From people being tossed like rag dolls to the FREAKING POLICE CAR DANMAKU :getdown:. I just hope that they didn't blow thier entire budget already (they probably did :V) so they can keep up this kind of animation quality throughout.
Basically the main draw for me anyways is the animation quality and style of this thing. Sure the drawings are simpler than normal anime, but I love how there is just non-stop action, which isn't somehing I haven't seen in an anime in a long time. Not only the but the pure chaos they manage is create is astounding. Obviously not much can be said about any of the other elements of the show, athough I do find Panty's sexual quips to be rather amusing in a Seitokai Yakuindomo kinda way.
Also because it's GAINAX there will probably be some LOLDEEP plot thrown in around halfway, but I'll just be watching if they can keep up the pace that they're at throughout thier entire run without having to rely on DVD releases (COUGHSHAFTCOUGH). If they can then I'll be quite impressed (but I'm doubting they can :V)
ahaha I can't believe I wrote all that just for this show what's wrong with me :getdown: :getdown: :getdown:

I said this on IRC, I'd watch it after it has been saged, burned, thrown, broken, destroyed, after PSG ends up on the bargain bin for 2.99 a piece and comes free with a used Tenga.

Pretty much. All the animation savvy of Dexter's Labratory with tired, re-worked, half-assed anime tropes. Yawn.

Well, apparently that starts tomorrow. So you won't be waiting long.
Also, I think Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, from SHAFT, looks like it has potential. And Kuragahime, just because it's noitaminA.

I've mentioned this countless times by now, but I only bother to keep up with P&S+G because Panty is my goddamned idol, and no one is going to detract me from that. >_<;;

the reason why I won't watch it until all this 'omg its awesome' wave rolls over, I think I will reserve this season for the more mentionable shows.
namely Ironman, Soramono Forte, MM! <---- especially this, I shit you not, it is fuck awesome, also original art direction by QP Flapper.
basically MM! is about this guy's natural liking to his Masochistic tendencies, and coming to high school, he swore he wanted to change away his liking for pain for a girl he really likes whom he saw at his part time job but haven't gotten to meet her yet.
Little did he know, best friend of his asked him to approach a club that 'offers to answer the wishes of anyone who has a request for the club', there he meets a girl who is a sadist... and he becomes... attached, in more ways than one.

Honestly the second half of panty x stocking was enjoyable. Really should just watch the whole 1st episode to decide if you like it or not.

already did, so fair opinion: no.
I'd get it at the end of the season to just keep it just cause tho.
meanwhile
you might have seen the raw for Ore Imouto already, this is a very nice show.
I expect more, especially since the manga ran halfway and then stopped at 10 and skipped to 18 for no reason.
average slice of life? sis-con mix show? I'd watch this than Kiss x Sis anyday, seriously that shit is horrible even if all the ecchi is awesome, (actually I dunno, there is a syndrome for this thing I am feeling about shows that are so ecchi, so right, yet permanently wrong, I think I shall name it as Queens Blade Syndrome)

Welp now I'm gonna have nightmares now.
Also got to see UBW movie finally - alas it was exactly how I feared it'd be when you cram a 10-15 hours VN route into a 90 minute movie :fail: I can't imagine how it'd make any sense if you didn't play that route already.
At least Lancer still had his crowning moments of badassery to make up for how early he gets whacked in the other routes
-
I can't imagine how it'd make any sense if you didn't play that route already.
That's what I'm thinking. I've watched the first 40 minutes, and it's all awesome and stuff, but I did notice the writers skipping vast tracts of exposition. I know what's going on. Will a newcomer? Hell if I know.
Off the top of my head, it might be recommendable for someone who hasn't played UBW to watch the first two episodes of the Fate animu, as those explain everything up to ARE YOU MY MASTER?
-
But even after that point they still bullet train to just about EVERYTHING.
Kuzuki gets like half of a line, but does have one HIS FISTS THEY ARE MADE OF STEEL moment at least
Rider is on screen for like 30 seconds before she gets hosed
And I don't remember if they explain why he does it in UBW route or it's just HF but the whole Gil ripping out Illya's heart for the grail
thing, I was watching it with MJP who had only played Fate and some of HF due to a save glitch on the DS VN reader and he was all "bwah??"

Oh I'm sorry, let me check the name of the thread. Yep, New Anime thread, and I'm pretty sure what I'm watching still counts as anime. This season? Yep, available not two days ago for non-moonspeakers. I sure do hope you're not telling me to take my discussion elsewhere, as I would be quite offended.
-
I also am pretty sure F/HA hasn't got an English patch yet :ohdear:
But yeah I did think Rider lasted longer in UBW, despite being just the one scene
(though it's been a while since I played) but I know they compressed the hell of everything that happened in school so I really should have expected that.
-
MM! 1 - Holy Jesus Mary Mother of God. I spent most of this episode breathing deeply
(I'm a creep). As if watching Sasameki Koto wasn't bad enough for my body. S and M, Misandry, Bro-con, Son-con, AND crossdressing to top it all off. Next week can't come soon enough. (ﾟAﾟ)
-
Just watched OreImo.
Something tells me that Kyousuke would be a regular poster in the Rage Thread. :3
-
Will a newcomer? Hell if I know.
I think I'll be the newcomer to try this out.
P sure Trance just meant "guys the VN is much superior I recommend it"

I can't decide which is worse, watching and enjoying an anime about S&M or voluntarily misinterpreting Sasameki Koto, which was far too innocent to be anything more than just that.
There really isn't that much that has interested me thus far. I've been watching Lovely Complex to fill the gap. Arakawa S2 is what I'm sure I'm watching, but I'll still be on the lookout for other things.
So. Arakawa, Sasameki Koto, and Lovely Complex in a single post. Yeah, I'm as manly as you can get.
-
Yeah I've gone through the majority of the list of things I wanted to see this season. Gotta say it's so far better than what the summer had to offer so I'm pretty delighted and Index S2 hasn't even aired yet :D
Just watched the UBW movie with my friend today too, we're both Type-moon vets so we were able to keep up with the movie but man it really is a compliment to the game rather than a movie. I honestly don't think anyone who wasn't familiar with F/SN to begin with would understand whats going on since they don't even touch base on the Grail war and who the Servants are. Let a lone Heroic spirits, Noble Phantasms , ect ect. I just hope this isn't how the Nanoha movie is like, but from what I hear it isn't so thats good.
So far I've enjoyed OreImo the most but Yosuga no Sora has some promise, hope they don't try to cram too many plot lines in a 13 episode series.
MM! and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt are pretty much in the same boat. They're both pretty fun but I'm not sure how long the novelty with last
Just waiting on World God Only knows and Index S2 to air. I'm banking on those two to be the highlights for this season for me
EDIT: Just watched Bakuman, I like that a lot too
-
I think I'll be the newcomer to try this out.
P sure Trance just meant "guys the VN is much superior I recommend it"
Yeah, I responded irritably and with unjustified sarcasm. My apologies to Trance. That said, it would seem pretty obvious from my comments that I am certainly familiar with the VN.
-
Ep 1 of Arakawa 2 is finally up. I can't wait to watch this.
Also, Bakuman looks like it has potential. Might as well get that, too.
Also also: Kuragehime starts 15 October (http://myanimelist.net/anime/8129/Kuragehime), and Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru starts Friday (http://myanimelist.net/anime/8726/Soredemo_Machi_wa_Mawatteiru). Aw yeah!

Looks like I've found myself a new guilty pleasure. God damn it K-On, look what you've done to me. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE. I'M GONNA BE A HUGE MOEFAG IF THIS KEEPS UP.
It's a downward spiral. See, first they pull out a show like To-Love-Ru, and they're like, "Here, just try it, it's not gonna hurt." Then before you know it you're on your back, in the gutter, watching Strike Witches or Lucky Star, robbing liquor stores just to get enough money for your next fix. It's a goddamned living nightmare. Stay in school, don't do moe.
-
Friends don't let friends watch K-On

Moeshit is the shit.
Speaking of which, I've yet to watch Strike Witches.
Worth it?

I'm still thinking of other moeblob/drug PSA mash-ups ...
Father walks into his son's room, who is sitting on his bed with his headphones on. The father, angry, holds up a Lucky Star DVD. The son looks suddenly nervous and defensive, and takes his headphones off.
"What's this?"
"Dad, I-"
"Where did you get this?"
"Look, I was just-"
"Where did you learn to watch this stuff? Hm? Answer me!"
"From you alright! I learned it by watching you!"
Slow zoom on father's shocked, stricken face.
Parents who watch moeblob ... have children who watch moeblob ...

My mother tells me all the time she can't understand why I spend so much time watching those little girls with annoying voices.
-

Fund it.
My mother tells me all the time she can't understand why I spend so much time watching those little girls with annoying voices.
When I was in high school, my mom was convinced beyond all evidence to the contrary that all anime is pornography. Either that, or she just liked to say that because she knew how much it pissed me off. Though... I'm sure the stash of drawings she eventually dug up didn't exactly help my case. Ho ho, my friend. That was one ugly night. :derp:
-
Your mom wouldn't be alone in that opinion. There's another website I visit, filled with otherwise intelligent, sensitive and well-informed people, and they still cannot seem to resist the tentacle rape jokes whenever the subject of anime or manga is raised.
-
I think I know exactly the kind of people you're talking about. Pretty sure most of them are just afraid of looking uncool. :V
-
Definitely a part of it. Also many of them are middle-aged academics who've never actually watched any anime. But because they have multiple degrees, they feel their opinion comes with a default gravitas, no matter how poorly informed they might be on any given subject. If you can frame your whithering criticism with panache, then you don't have to know what you're talking about.
-
God dammit chartfag, your synopsis didn't warn me about Yasuga no Sora.
Trashy show. Harem, incest, has a masturbation scene in the first fucking episode....

I can't believe you, this thing starts with a heavy does of seriousness and you are judging it already as trash?
I'd give it a few more episodes, even if it is pretty darn erotic... them tits.
also, K-On, a guilty pleasure.
Look man, if you wanna get away from K-On you should watch Rainbow, guaranteed MANLY addiction.
-
The World God Only Knows' first episode was pretty lackluster, I felt. I'm not really that familiar with the entire magic girl genre, so maybe that has something to do with what I felt it was kind of a jarring character introduction. Someone over at Anime News Network said that this show had a lot of potential as a concept, and could have gone the way of NHK, but pretty much ruined it. I'm not sure about that. I think there's a time and a place for every genre, but I do hope the series isn't this guy going through "here's another example of how dating sims are different from real girls", over and over again. There were parts that made me laugh, and the art is good, so if the plot stays fresh, I don't see why this couldn't be a great anime.

I love Hotori's voice. Absolutely cracks me up.
I think this is going to be one of those slow-paced flavor pieces that grow on you over the series.
The opening theme to Ika Musume, on the other hand. Dear Lord. INVASION! INVASION! INVASION! Peppy little show. Pretty funny, too.
Also: Bakuman ep.2 is up.
-
Watched the first episode of Index 2. Sphinx is an awesome cat. I really liked the opening too.
-
I think Bakuman could give even Arakawa a run for its money. It's extremely well-written and makes you care actively about the characters.
Ika Musume is just a great, mindless comedy.
SoreMachi though, I still can't get my head around. I like it, but I can see the individual episodes ending up as stand-alone pieces, rather than there being a story that spans the series.
-
Imageshack > all
Index 2 is off to an average start, at least it has Index in it tho.
I saw Misaka's mom in the opening and I... ehehe~
Bakuman is an okay show imo, don't like the show's direction, makes you think manga drawing is actually a good thing... (real life is a bit sadder)
meanwhile, episode 2 of Hyakka Ryouran and Star driver is out, I can only say one thing: delicious and FABULOUS BISHONEN
-

I don't draw manga, but between the protagonist's speech in episode 1 about how infinitesimally rare it is that someone can make a living as a mangaka, and the tragic story of his uncle's career as a manga artist - which may have ended in suicide - it didn't seem as though they were portraying the life of a manga artist as being particularly desirable.
-
So, is squid ink REALLY used as a marinade/condiment for pasta or other noodle dishes in Japan, or what?
-
Oh god stop, I won't be able to stop laughing again.
"Five more orders!"
Edit: Also, yes, squid ink is apparently a pasta sauce (http://fxcuisine.com/Default.asp?language=2&Display=116&resolution=high). (Includes hi-res photos so you can make your own, if you're unable to vomit it up yourself.)

it is the latter parts when it seem to gain some 'comic momentum' that I begun to dislike it.
overall I rather enjoy the insight since book 1 - 3.

to be fair, our Chinese ancestors living along the sea and in fishing villages have always used squid ink in their cooking.

Watching episode 1 made me read the manga. I now have to take insulin and regular doses of aspirin. I don't think I'll survive the second animated episode if they jacked up the cute factor.

Oh it's cute alright. But what I really like is the comedic pacing and timing. There isn't a single wasted moment in this show. It might not be very deep, but it's very good comedy.

Welp, I'm boned.
Current locks for this season are Arakawa, Ika Musume, and SoreMachi. Ah, an average season of comforting entertainment with a focus on comedy. Still up for changes as things progress and others are dropped/added. I still have to polish off Lovely Complex, though, and I picked the worst time to stop.

I take it this season is busy for you anime-wise?
Its busy for me too. I picked up nine new series and I've got four ongoing ones that are still chugging along with new episodes.
Well, 3 series are guaranteed watches for several weeks, plus a few that can stay or go. Hence, I've enough to keep me busy. I rarely follow more than 5 at any given time since I forget names, minor plot points, etc. rather quickly for any series I don't focus too much on. One episode a day is enough. It's also the way I prefer to end the day, especially if it is a dramatic series.
Avvy
So NOW I can finally recognize where that comes from.
-
Fortune Arterial: so generic.
Yosuga no Sora: actually not so generic but being rated as such.
Ore no Imouto: annoying male VA is annoying.
-
Watched the second episode of Squid Girl, they're burning through manga chapters like gasoline soaked newspaper. They used at least five in episode two. I think the third segment wasn't as funny as It could have been, honestly, it focused a bit too much on how Ika is...though I honestly can't blame them much.
I've even been hearing rumors that she's going to be a SaiMoe contestant next year.

Well, I'm not sure if it's a "new" anime or not, but I've been thinking of watching Ouran Highschool Hostclub after finishing K-ON!!
Is it really as good as my friends say it is?

To answer your question without snark, I'd recommend checking out a couple episodes on a streaming site before downloading. I thought it had its moments, but my 11-year-old cousin loves it.

I just finished watching episode 1 on YouTube. Loving it as much as I loved K-ON!!
Also, I don't download my anime because there are already a lot of MMOs installed on my computer now.
-
Did I say "download"? I'm sorry, I meant "buy the DVD".
-
OreImo makes me feel bad for being me. ;;

No problem: Oreimo is designed to make you feel that way.
I see you dropped it lol
HOLY SHIT SUPER ROBOT WARS OG, it is fucking awesome.

I'm starting to wonder about Arakawa. What made Season 1 so great wasn't just the surreal comedy, but the ongoing story about an ultra-conformist dealing with his father issues, rejecting (however reluctantly) the rigid societal pyramid he was brought up in, and learning to rely on others. So far in Season 2, no real story is emerging. I still enjoy the bizarre comic antics and all. I just hope a plot of some kind emerges.
-
Hey man, this episode had Nino destroying a city by firing beams from her mouth while riding a horse that looked like a robotic unicorn.
It doesn't get much better than that BV
-
Horse.
And admittedly, that was pretty great.
-
Define "good"
Hey hey hey I liked Ouran :<
-
Arakawa is just sheer epic.
I can only hope the further downstream they go the more bizarre types of people will appear.
-
So far I've got Oreimo, Fortune Arterial(I happen to like generic harem, thank you very much), and TWOGK. Haven't yet watched Otome Yōkai Zakuro and Star Driver, though I hear good things. Thanks to this thread, I'll have to watch Squid Girl and Yasuga no Sora. I want to watch season 2 of Index, but first I'll have to reacquaint myself with season 1. Probably will give P+S a second go.
-
Nansaki is so seme, it's an interesting change of pace :V
-
Episode 1 of Kuragehime is finally up. And this will mark the last series I'm following this season: Arakawa Under the Bridge, Bakuman, Ika Musume, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, and now this. Not a bad crop of series to fill the autumnal season!
Post viewing edit: This is actually not a bad show. The female otaku angle is different, and the main character is not some cute high school girl but a chubby girl with thick eyebrows. While it has some "we so crazy!" humor in there, there's some genuinely funny stuff (the jellyfish calling out to be rescued, for one), and even some touching material there, too. The comedy is paced well without going overboard. This could be pretty good.
-
Indeed, I am most impressed with Kuragehime, I watched it on a whim after checking out the plot summary and I am delighted to say, this is most creative, funny and the VAs are well chosen thus far. Worth checking out if you are into Paradise Kiss, Welcome to the NHK sorta thing.
Meanwhile, if you are into the Taisho era fashion and youkai stuff, Otome Youkai Zakuro is surprisingly promising. I feel it resembles a lot of Sakura Wars... maybe because of the characters~
-
On this week's Ginga Bishonen:
strangely, I begin to think of Star Driver as a weekly monster show now, despite its cool beginnings it hinted at poorly ran pace. I still won't give up the series tho.
Soramono Forte ep 3 is a helluva funny one, I think season 2 is better than season 1, Astrea is just be best idiot of this season. Cirno can't even touch this one. She is major stupide.
-
Bakuman continues to be awesome.
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru ... I like this show more each time. I know there's no real story, which was a complaint I've made about Season 2 of Arakawa, but ... man, Hotori is such a nicely-flawed sympathetic character. The atmosphere, the dialog and the interactions for some reason keep me interested. When I figure out why I like this series I'll let you know.
-
2 SHAFT series
2 series dealing with otaku tendencies
2 series with incestuous undertones
2 series with cross-dressers
2 Hidamari Sketch episodes.
This season is amazing.
-
Biggest slut on a high school robot show ever...
seriously, Mrs. Watanabe can take on everyone, and still win the fight with her pinky. Star Driver lol.
after a bit of looking through, I found Star Driver actually has a resonance of brilliance in it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_time
-
Not sure yet how I feel about Oreimo. Kirino is pretty cute and I enjoyed her catfight with Kuroneko, though.
-
My sister is not here but yeah
this show is all kinds of good. I am up to episode 3 today and I am surprised at the fun factor. While episode 1 was ok hurr durr, episode 2 is getting better and by episode 3 I was caught.
It is something that I find the very nicely done.
I will take back what I said about being mundane, this season had some pretty good shows and I think Oreimo is one of my favorites.
-
Yeah, about episode 3. I like that Kirino acts like an actual 14-year-old... but I don't like the realization that that's pretty much the same way most 16 or 17-year-old girls act in anime.
-
Panty and Stocking : Episode 1 was great. But if they're gonna do this every time...
It's going to get old. The show is massively overrated anyway, but it's still pretty cool. If you're going to watch this, just make sure it's not the only thing you watch.
MM!: I like it. I like the surrounding topic the show is taking:
It's not just about curing Tarou's masochism, but about accepting people with certain paraphilias/phobias in general / etc... (Replace the italic with anything else, and it'll still fit)
Still have to write a post about this, but I do like the direction this is taking.
Hello, character development!!! Our male character actually seems dynamic for once!
Fortune Arterial: Interesting so far. I haven't played the visual novel, so I can't say too much about it... I might watch episode 2 later today...
The Fall Season's Lineup is quite aggressive this year. I wonder why that is. I'm enjoying mostly everything so far, and I still have more shows to check out.
EDIT: Oh, and A-F, your avatar was drawn by An2A. I bought an art book from her/him just a while ago. Awesome illustrations, btw.
-
Well, I like that artist.
almost as much as I like the other one called CO2A lol.
Yosuga no Sora is actually top tier, the more I learn about the misadventures of Mikoto the more I love her. Best character all season... 'lol, I do everything the juniors asked me too and YET I AM NOT POPULAR and I AM A VIRGIN' this episode 3 has a hime cut ojousama character and I like it, kinda reminds me, this season is FULL OF HIME CUT characters.
every anime has one.
Panty and Stocking, Yosuga no Sora, even MM! has one (though is a trap), what a Hime Cut season we have.

Also, not sure if it belongs in this thread or not, but SHAFT is making a second season for Maria+Holic.
Also, Akiyuki Shinbou is apparently working on an original anime with two other notable people.
-
Ika Musume continues to be awesome.
Also, where Season 1 of Arakawa was about Ko, I think the angle they're going for this season is Ko and Nino. In other words, less about the dude's struggles with his daddy issues and general societal criticism, and more just a romantic comedy. Which is A-OK with me.
Also also, fun fact: Listening to P-Ko explode at Ko immediately brought another character's distinct and (to my ears) hilarious whine to mind, so I had to look it up to see if it was true - and I was right: P-Ko from Arakawa and Hotori from Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru are voiced by the same person (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaki_Omigawa).
MAID EDIT: The first half of episode 3 was like something out of a Murakami short story. A pretty clever little detective story.
-
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD, TATSUKICHI IS SO AWESOME O-OJOUSAMA~ THIS EPISODE 4. MAID UNIFORM! CHECK! GLASSES CHECK! HIME CUT! CHECK!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I MOE OVERLOADED SO HARD.

Hideyoshi is cool and all, but this season belongs to Tatsukichi hands down.

best drag queen ever.
I mean I am cool with the cute and cuddly traps but this version of traps of fine too.

Ah yes, Arakawa S2 Ep4 reminds me of good times, the days when we still have casettes and not CDs or DVDs. This episode is just made of pure funny, and I like how it focuses so much on the odd couple this season, if they do have a season 3 I hope such antics will be kept. Angry Nino is angry.
-
Yeah, I like the emphasis shift onto Ko and Nino working out how to be a couple, but I think Ika Musume and Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru are my two favorites this season. I like Bakuman, don't get me wrong - episode 4 was pretty educational on the use of pens. But the pure joyful comedy of the squid girl and the surreal antics of the maid caf? are what really keep me engaged for the full 24 minutes.

I don't have time for all this ;_;

I was originally not going to pick up SoreMachi, but I decided to give it a try after reading the sentiments in this thread. I do not regret it.

Bit ticked at myself for not getting the riddle in SoreMachi 3. Then again, I watched it right before bed and was halfway to la-la land while I was watching it.

heh, Megane no Kanojo is sorta nice, I like glasses girls and I am surprised an entire movie was made on the subject of glasses.

Kuragehime (Princess Jellyfish) episode 2 has been subbed. It seems Funimation is doing the same thing they did with The Tatami Galaxy (putting subs for free on Youtube).

sure is fishy this season.

well, enough of that, Arakawa ep4, let me see:

let us be aware, in France, Samurais exist.

Started watching Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspectors. I'm not completely sure what's going on (Though I;m guessing it has something to do with SRW OG2), but the 3/4 of me that craves big robots punching each other while Japanese men scream their vocal chords out is quite satisfied.
Also, Ika Musume Scribble:

SRWOGTI has nothing to do with SRWOGS2
it is entirely standalone.

Although I'm apparently the only one following it, To Aru Majutsu no Index II is better than the first. Index is actually quite useful this time despite Mikuru levels of worthlessness in season one. Also, in episode 4,
a bunch of nuns stab themselves in their ears in order to avoid one of Index's spells, which involves her singing, leaving it's listeners writhing in pain.
Apparently Index knows a few Ke$ha songs.
Also, SoreMachi continues to impress and has one of the best openers of the season. Mr. Moriaki is quite comically inflexible and close-minded.

The newest episode of Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru (a.k.a. Sore Machi a.k.a. That SHAFT Maid Caf? Anime) was simultaneously hilarious and touching. Especially Hotori's little brother being chosen by the pushy girl to go on a "date". Brought me so many funny (in retrospect) memories of going on a play date with this girl I knew in grade school.
The writing for this show keeps getting tighter and more focused. It's quite possibly my favorite this season.
-
If you aren't watching Kurage-hime, just give it a damn chance. I love it.
-
Kuragehime? I watched the first ep and loved it. Then FUNimation licensed it. Now I think I'll just marathon it after it's finished airing
MM!'s Incest episode was shockingly disappointing. They just dodged it the whole dang time and went for developing Tarou's and Arashiko's relationship instead. I'mOKWithThisIGuess.jpg
Arakawa needs to go back to that Ko x Nino stuff they had going on. Not that I don't like the stuff they had the last episode; just want some more of the main couple.
SoreMachi made me realize that my childhood sucked. No girls ever talked to me nor did I have any bros to hide from. :fail:
Hidamari Sketch is over now. At least Natsume got why don't you come over?

that epic scene at the back is superior.

Ika Musume is incredibly silly. :V
Also the 3rd part of episode 5...basically had no reason to be there. :S

Not really, it just came out of nowhere. It's like they went "k we're gonna end the episode with something totally random and sad. CRY FOR US MUAHAHAHA"

Speaking of Sore Machi, I got schooled by a Facebook friend of mine. The opening song - Down Town - is sung by Maaya Sakamoto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp1VCT4j2qA), but she wasn't the first.

I hope Sora gets the last 'true arc' or I will be pretty sad.
If you are watching Index S2
The latest episode of TOUMA PUNCHES EVERYONE is just... awesome.
HE DID TWICE AGAINST THE SAME PERSON, IN ONE EPISODE. and yeah, he is smug about it.
-
The introduction of "Nomen Rider" made me laugh heartily.
The new Bakuman was also enjoyable. I was a bit worried that these two guys were just going to breeze right into the industry, so I was glad when their interview with the editor wasn't what they expected.
Kurage-hime continues to be great.
I don't even know why I'm following Arakawa at this point. It's like the Family Guy of anime - shake up the bag full of gags, reach in, pull some out, line them up in any order. Where Sore Machi doesn't seem to have a continuous plot, it at least has one story per episode, as opposed to 24 minutes of lolrandom stuff to look at.

Otherwise, I'll get my pointless moe from other superior shows.
-
Twenty and the rest of the Gentlemen Thieves are one of the best parts of the whole show. But they've actually started showing up less. Criminally not at all in the latest episode.
THAT GUY made up for it though. :ohdear:
But yeah, Milky Holmes is mentally retarded ("The value of pi isn't 3, it's 3.14" "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SHERLOCK"

Why have I never decided to watch GinTama until now? It's the funniest show I have EVER SEEN!! Every single joke is GOLD!! It busts the fourth wall constantly, has great action, sweet characters and is ALWAYS FUNNY. The voice actors nail every line perfectly! I just finished episode 7 and I've never laughed so constantly at an anime before!
Hey hey, watch this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PerHSGgdAaw
On another note ; that clip from Panty & Stocking [on page 1] looked completely ridiculous... but the ending...was awesome. I will check that out.
-
Holy crap Katanagatari 11 ended on a giant cliffhanger.
Now I have to wait 'til next month to see how it ends. ;_;
Goddamn that last sword is so broken, because it's not even a goddamn sword :V
-
find me an anime much more entertaining than Arakawa, I dare you.
I laughed like mad.
Kuragehime and SoreMachi are my personal favorites this season.
-
No mention of the 'Legend of the Legendary Heroes?'

Ep 26 was only subbed about a month ago so I might get away with posting this here:
So I finally bit the concentrated sugar pill bullet and marathoned K-ON!(!) I don't really care for moe shows / anything KyoAni have put out to date so I wasn't expecting much, but it was actually pretty great. Vibrant without being nauseatingly so, no real dislikeable characters, superb aesthetics (unsurprisingly) and somehow capable of holding my attention for 40 eps despite not a great deal happening. OPs/EDs were hot as well, though it's going to take surgery to remove the songs from my head.
Mugi > Mio > Yui = Azusa > Ritsu
Don't Say Lazy = NO, Thank You > Cagayake GIRLS > Listen > GO GO Maniac > Utauyo Miracle
Looking forward to the movie.

Hang in there de geso ;-;

Any mind telling me why GINGA BISHONEN is so fun to say. I mean, if they leave it untranslated in the dub, I wouldn't mind. It so easy to make jokes with it too.
-
I just finished the first episode of Panty and Stocking and... SWOOSH!! That was one of the BEST things I have ever seen!! The action was awesome, the animation had me woo'd and it was so DAMN FUNNY!! I was always laughing, bobbing to the music and just plain enjoying myself!
SUIKAMA!!
THANK YOU!! If I hadn't have watched that clip you posted, I may never have became interested in this show!
That was so much fun!

Eheheh anytime :blush:

What the heck, an entire youtube channel dedicated to finding "de geso" in every episode?

this show is just painfully stacked in awesome.
also, scene last week of Sugata was so awesome.

Just finished watching Gundam UC episode 2. My god! The Unicorn's Beam Rifle is like a mini VSBR...which makes sense. Also, passive I-field on the shield? Ability to pilot the MS through the power of thought? Damn...Imagine the carnage that machine would do in the hands of Amuro or Kamille!
In other news, nostalgia goggles on max from SRW OG: The Inspector episode 7.

Arakawa 7: I am now in love with Jacqueline's voice.
Star Driver 7: More fabulous, less me knowing what the hell is going on plotwise. :derp:
Ore no Imouto 7: I thought Kirino was just a straight up bitch at this point. But that dere. One hit KO.
Incidentally, I just finished Eden of the East.

I don't want that to happen! Ika Musume is a uniquely charming kind of show~

anyone here old fag enough to remember the desu~ spam on every board? including pooshlmer?
ahahahha.
Yes, Ika Musume will undoubtedly suffer that same fate.
hey maybe if you say de geso enough times you too will become a squidling.
That said, has anyone watched the Koe de Oshigoto OVA yet?

Got dragged into Star Driver by AF and Anthony, don't regret it.

Watched the seven first Ore no Imouto yesterday.
This anime is stupid, stereotypical, and perverted.
Yet, I feel the urge to watch it and I will probably follow it to the end...
Watched also the fist Ika Musume, and will probably continue, it's fun!

did you know Mantis Shrimps can see 5 spectrum of light?

Wow I just noticed in the OP of Soredemo, Arashiyama and Tatsuno both try to do the vulcan/maid salute, but only Arashiyama can do it properly.

OH GOD ARAKAWA EP8
Amazonness is just incredibly denpa. like nothing else... cellphone, talks like a shinjuku high school girl and not afraid of anything.

Kuragehime is just beating out SoreMachi as my fave for the season full of good comedies. I mean, the girls from the Nunnery are as socially inept as all hell and ugly as sin yet I love them all. Of all the characters, Kuranosuke is the only one who I just can't bring myself to like. Probably because he's cross-dressing for attention, and because my idea of 'fashion' was always a polo shirt and a pair of khakis. Also, Nicole Richie is just... Please don't bring up Nicole Richie in anything ever.
Also, I've been falling asleep before I intend to go to bed lately, so I've been skipping out on my daily episode, which I typically enjoy just before bed. I need to catch up! :<

Edit: Finally. My Saturday's aren't the same without my favorite cracked-voiced maid.

the way Episode 9 of Ore no Imouto presented the Erogel...
the way she hugs that box of play-your-own-porno and smiled... I cannot HNNGGHH but GET REMINDED OF HOW I USED TO BE.
but finding out the sheer purity of Kuroneko-san~ made me cry tears of joy... she is so.... caring, and motherly... and.... totally unlike your typical loli character....
<3
>Kirino is a victim of Lavish spending on over-priced otaku material. Despite her perfect personality, grades and model work, she's stuck buying otaku merch in order to fuel her selfish interests.
Exactly. Kirino is a representation of NEET otaku. If you're watching this show, Kirino is YOU. All the Kirino-haters are hating on themself, and they don't even fucking realize it. The series is a heavy commentary on contemporary otaku culture, and all the people who immediately self-identify as Kyosuke and start to go moe for Kuroneko are so dense that they can't realize that they are the ones being criticized.
As someone who gets what it's actually about, it's fucking hilarious to watch Kirino-haters rage at themselves.
WELL DICKJESUS

Oh, I always loved Hotori. Hard not to like the same girl who's voiced by P-ko in Arakawa.

I hope you will last till episode 8 without any problems, because 5-6 is all about HENTAI SAIYAN
meanwhile, saw the spoilers for PSG on the nude and wing scene, and I am inclined to watch it because lol Nirvana reference.
-
And now it's been 5 days for Arakawa :/
This episode is about:
A concept the editor?s never heard of
Obfuscated by the translator being a nonsensical artfag
Blurred by the protagonist mostly faking his understanding
And completely subverted by the in-show ?expert? making their take up out of whole cloth.
And those are the parts that aren?t in terrible, terrible French.
tl;dr we are fated to almost just give the fuck up on every ep 9 of this show.
I love fansub drama.
-
The first half of ep. 9 was pretty meh, but the second half was hilarious for its satirical take on both Japanese who fetishize the West and traditionalists, especially given how subjective the whole concept of wabi-sabi is.
-
Well now I see why it took so long

Rainbow Delights: JUST. AS. PLANNED.

Not as bad as episode 9 imo, sister going into excited moe huggles and snuggling her pillow is the best anime moment this season.

Double posting:
Yosora - She talks with you on the phone, she hugs the phone and gets an eargasm after you hung up... LOLz
Index S2 - Spend more than 10 minutes telling an utterly dense chick to get out of the way of a dangerous item, resort to pushing her down and having her mistaking you want to fuck.
Soramono S2 - Like... woah, dense piece of shit yo, all the world is going to hell and you have time to perfect your secret pathway of spying into girl's bathrooms?!
Star Driver 10 - Say something irrelevant, GAIN SWOONING GIRL FANS. Do something irrelevant, GET SCREAMING FANCLUB. PLAY BASEBALL, EVERYONE DIES.

I do believe that Sanae just became my second favorite character in Ika Musume. Yeah, she's crazy, but she's a fun sort of crazy.
Kinda like Cordelia.
-
I've always liked Sanae more than most people should. :>
Also, the last third was nice~
-
So it seems that it's not Ikamusume who's skilled or strong, but her tentacles...
They are the limbs of god...
AND KIYOMI IS BFF YEAH
WARNING, TRAP RECUIT IS APPROACHING QUICKLY

Sanae's my favorite character in IkaMusume. How can you not like a character who likes dressing up lolis?

-
Finally over...
I don't know about you guys, but I found the ending to Katanagatari extremely satisfying.

and I found the final epic battle in Soramono Forte to be exceptional, coming from the fact it has been an ecchi nonsense ride in between this and the first fight.
Truly: a hidden gem.

Finally over...
I don't know about you guys, but I found the ending to Katanagatari extremely satisfying.
Damn it was pretty much perfect.
Bittersweet and yet had a wonderful balance of both. The episode itself had a much darker tone than the rest of the series which was quite lighthearted and yet it still worked perfectly.
-
Damn it was pretty much perfect.
The highlight for me was probably Shichika's badass castle raid.

THIS IS THE MORE USELESS SWORD EVER
Why don't you try throwing it?
...
K.O.
For me it's how they resolved everything without any bs. There weren't any huge OHSHITMYHEAD twists and yet they were all important. Nisioisin focus when he writes is clearly on character and he really brought out the true potential of each at the very end.

Yeah. It was pretty nice how he ended it like that. I agree with the fact that he put a lot of thought into the characters too. For me, the biggest part of an anime ending is the amount of closure and I think that he tied everything up quite nicely.
-
Haiyoru Nyaru Ani is just phantasmically SHORT.
only 4 mins where half of it is the OP song?!

Well shit. Only just discovered that production of Despera (http://b.imagehost.org/0353/34784.jpg) (aka 'Serial Experiments Ain' (http://b.imagehost.org/0909/958745.jpg)) is on hold (indefinitely?) due to Nakamura's health problems.
For the unaware, it was headed by the Lain trio and it was inevitably going to be magnificent.

Eh, not sure about that. Maybe in the sense that it's a mostly female cast. But Kuragehime is about the nature of beauty; what makes a person beautiful. It deals frankly with sexuality and gender roles without being snide or infantile. And it also has a very charming central cast of nerdy girls who break gender stereotypes. It's intelligently and humorously written.
Just my humble opinion.

I am so happy I waited that the 12 was out before watching the 11.
I am quite sad about the end of Togame. But it is a mature ending, and that makes Katanagatari a very good anime.
-
I rate Kuragehime as like how I rate Machimawateru, it is a silent hit on all sides, and it doesn't necessarily win, but it can.
Oreimo comes almost to an end, and I am disappointed it never got to the novels part, where Ruri starts dating.... you know who.
dear god, I wanna pay money to see it as an OVA because of it.

I am quite sad about the end of Togame. But it is a mature ending, and that makes Katanagatari a very good anime.
Agreed. The way they pulled off the ending was pretty awesome.
-
How is it? I wanted to watch it but the main character turns me off. :(
Favorite show of the season by a nose. In terms of the main characters, Tsukimi is almost a new personal favorite, though Kuranosuke (now a new Pad-chou) is hard to get used to and the crossdressing has nothing to do with it.
I feel bad for Shu. Nearly 20 years of fearing women and then he gets blackmailed by one for naughty stuff he had no involvement in. Also, another cute girl with a strange fixation. Jiji-sama and her old guys. It's not quite as oddly frustrating as Ohno and bald guys, but whatever.

The new Yu-gi-oh series has (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g58/Dark_Evangel666/5587492820101213144931047.jpg) been (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g58/Dark_Evangel666/5587492820101213145032051.jpg). The manga for it will be made around the same (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g58/Dark_Evangel666/558749282010121408162402.jpg) time (http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g58/Dark_Evangel666/5587492820101214081710088.jpg).
I don't know how to feel about this. On part of me says "the designs look really crappy, this is gonna suck". Another says"not to judge a book by it's cover, the staff seems okay." Somewhere, I just annoyed at their treatment of 5Ds and abrupt ending of the Yugioh Gx manga.

I don't get it if the main character is not present in a new series. What's the point of continuing it if Yugi ain't there? ???
-
Advertising the card game I guess. 5Ds wasn't half bad though(many say it's the best out of the 3, I heavily reccomend episodes 1-65.) However as things went on, the advertising became too blatant, even for a merchandising anime like 5Ds.It's okay right now, but I just feel that it would be so easy for them to do so much better.
-
The latest episode of Sore Machi was pretty flawless. The "prayer" that began and ended the episode reminded me so much of a younger version of myself.
-
Watched the first episode of Kuragehime. I have no comment as for now, other than it's kinda weird and the girl in the green tracksuit is eccentric as fuck and the girl with glasses likes.... old men.
Right. I'll go watch episode 2 now. :V
-
Due to my lack of consistent internet, the only thing this season I have seen is Kuragehime, which Funimation streams on its Youtube channel....most of what I see these days is stuff I buy.
Although, I'll definitely be buying Kuragehime. Gotta support the shows I love BV
-
dear god, damn you SANA, you make me like Shiori!!
She seems to have retained her memory of the event tho... is that a hint for season 2?

I dunno about a second season.
WARNING: Massive spoilers ahead.
First of all, there are a bunch more captures
, then the plot really begins to pick up after the introduction of Tenri/Diana and the godesses
, then finally the devils' uprising and how all these things tie in together
.
SKIP THE SPOILERS: If they did a second season, it'll have to be longer and contain more of the plot than just what it has done so far in order to keep it going. Don't get me wrong, I like the show and I just want to give Shiori a gigantic hug (she's my favorite btw). It's just that any deviation or skipping over (for the most part) would take away from the already-great storyline that the manga follows.
-
Somehow I get the feeling Ika Musume did not actually say "Come at me, bro", but hey. Localization and subtitler's right to interpretation and all that.

I laughed so damn hard at that scene, but yeah. :3
Also, on the topic of World God, I like the fact that they didn't really shy from the manga a lot. I'm pretty sure even that filler episode was from the manga.
Also, looks like next week is gonna be busy with all of those final episodes airing.

Umehara is a true bro.

-
some of my favorite anime is coming to an end....
I AM SAD
there cannot be an end to this madness called MM!
it needs a second season! also, Oreimo should have a Kuroneko end.
-
OreImo has 4 more episodes, and a redone Episode 12.
-
Just finished Kuragehime ep. 9. I think things are coming to a head with Shu's lady troubles. The exposure may very well end up hurting that awful land shark. I hope he decides a spine would be a good idea and comes up with some cerebral form of vengeance in order to spook her out of her extortion plans. Not gonna happen, but I'd love to see it. That harpy has scarred poor Tsukimi, too.
Also, Jiji-sama really is a pervert for old men. Like, 60's+ old. Bluh. I watch some stuff and it turns me off because of weird stuff like this, but old men? BLUH.
-
OreImo has 4 more episodes, and a redone Episode 12.
that is the OVA version with different endings...
and then the episode 12 is purpotedly a Kuroneko version of the events, which, if I am correct will have them ... dating each other
OH MY GOD <3
also NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NI HAO NYAN kuroneko dance/

oh lawd even Kirino's dad is tsundere

Is anyone in that show not a tsundere?

Saori :3
Edit: Oh god I read that Manami Tamura's seiyu is Ritsu and now I can't unhear her as falsetto Ritsu :getdown:
-
ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO UNHEAR "HA~LO~WEEN" ?
because dear god, I cannot stop playing that clip.
by the way the seiyuu looks fantastic IRL, she is really cute. (saw her in an interview with Danny Choo, lucky bastard)
-
Wow, the animation has maintained a rather high standard throughout and the OP and ED are different everytime.
Wow Kirino fails at irony (among other things :smug:)
-
Ika Musume is over, so I have nothing to do now but maybe watch old things.
I'm pretty satisfied with the final episode, although I'll obviously pull for a second season/series. :>
-
I almost hope they don't do a second season, but I guess there's a lot of material for one. This was probably one of the best series this season. Just pure fun.
Final episodes of Arakawa (which will probably end with an episode interchangeable with any other episode), Bakuman (Lemme guess: cliffhanger?), and SoreMachi (for some reason, I'm seeing a "twist" ending, something kinda light and clever, like "dice paintings") pending.
Kuragehime seems to be taking its sweet time - four episodes to go yet.
Ah I dread the curtain closing on this season, but maybe the winter will have some nice surprises.
-
Actually Bakuman's gonna have 25 episodes :V
-

HA!
Lovely. Wish it could've been SoreMachi though.
-
And then there's the confirmed S2 next fall. Since Bakuman is over 100+ chapters to my knowledge and they're only on what, chapter 15 at the moment? :x
SHAFT has done an adskfjl; amount of S2s, I wouldn't be shocked if it got one but I wouldn't deny being excited as all hell if it did happen.
-
Just in time to end most of the other stuff to welcome another season of bouncing boob sucking warrior fighting metal melting pseudo christian high school terrorism that is Seikon no Qwaser 2.
I hope Strike WItches gets a 3rd season.
-
Finished Ika Musume~
On an unrelated note, I decided to pick up Strike Witches as well.
-
I watched the first episode of Strike Witches and was put off immediately by the fact that none of the females wore pants or skirts whatsoever.
I kept watching and before I knew it, I was genuinely enjoying it. Waiting until all of S2's blurays are released to watch yuri pantsu in glorious uncensored.
-
that gives me hope of enjoying Strike Witches.
-

Not gonna lie, thats the thing that keeps bothering me for some reason. :3
I'm up to Episode 5 now which seems to be the obligatory beach episode.
-
In Strike Witches, you must switch off the part of your brain that is regarded to pants. The reason being that in THEIR WORLD, PANTS ARE SACRILEGE.
PLEASE RESPECT THE WORLD VIEW as you would for DBZ, where everyone is either a SAIYAN or eventually will become one on par with that level of power.

I watched the entire season. I did keep wondering about the wardrobe issue but once you get over that, the anime is pretty enjoyable and funny. Especially that one episode of the girls stealing eachother's underwear xD

Figures that this is the one I need to watch next. :3

Farewell, SoreMachi. What a great send-off. Actually made me tear up a little.

Oh man just when I thought Amagami was over, the new mini arc mixes things up nicely while at the same time ties up loose ends.
And then finally we'll have our Miya arc. Nishishishi~

Welp, that's it for Arakawa, whose final episode had more endings that Return of the King, it seemed. I don't know about you guys, but it didn't seem as though the writers really tried very hard with this episode. Nor did they bother touching on what brought Ko under the bridge in the first place. But I guess that's to be expected, considering what this season of Arakawa's been like. The guy from Cart Driver put it best:
There?s an anime series air?ing right now called Arakawa Under the Bridge X Bridge. It?s a pretty amus?ing story about a bunch of mis?fits liv?ing under a bridge. It?s worth a pop if you want some laughs and like absurd?est humour. Some people seem to think it?s a sequel to Arakawa Under the Bridge, and I can cer?tainly under?stand where the con?fu?sion lies. They have sim?ilar names and sim?ilar char?ac?ters, with pretty much the same premise. How?ever Bridge X Bridge isn?t related. I guess it drew inspir?a?tion from the former and likes to think of itself as a sort of altern?ate uni?verse ver?sion of Arakawa under the Bridge, but it?s not a sequel.
If it was a sequel (and it?s not) it would be an exer?cise in slowly unrav?el?ling everything that was good about the first sea?son. This may be hard to under?stand from the cas?ual fan, but for someone who got so absorbed by the nar?rat?ive in Arakawa Under the Bridge, tak?ing this as a sequel would be hor?rible. The points are so little that men?tion?ing them almost feels silly. Little things, like Whitey?s wife being under?stand?ing of his pre?dic?a?ment, care?fully peel?ing away the idea that people were escap?ing to the soci?ety under the bridge, which is what the first sea?son spent so much time care?fully con?struct?ing. These points build up and up, tear?ing away everything I loved about the first sea?son, leav?ing a mess of a com?edy with no under?ly?ing struc?ture bey?ond it?s absurd?est baseline.
That is, if it was a sequel. Which it?s not. Just so we?re all on the same page here.
On the plus side, the spring season for anime looks promising, but that's a whole other story.
-
The guys just need to get back to doing the Jesus X Buddha joke comics, seriously Saint Young Men need to be made into an anime and Arakawa despite needing a season 3, could be stalled for the time being. It was a really nice ending tho.
-
Ah, the final episode of Kuragehime. As always, what a pleasure. Combined humor, sentiment and a great big question mark (which I really hope means a second season).
That leaves Bakuman for me, which has what, 12 more episodes? For me this fall, my favorites have been, in order of preference:
1. Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
2. Ika Musume
3. Kuragehime
4. Bakuman
5. Arakawa Under the Bridge
I'm glad Bakuman will be there to tide me over through the dismal winter season (and of course I need to finish Bakemonogatari) but man, am I sad to see those top three end. That was some really excellent work. But as in life, new seasons of anime bring on new pleasures to explore.
SPRING SEASON EDIT: Not making a thread on the spring season yet, as none of the release dates have been announced and the winter season hasn't even started yet, but I was checking out the chart for this spring (http://thecartdriver.com/spring-2011-anime-chart-v1/spring-2011-v1/) and something jumped out at me. Namely, a show called Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man (http://myanimelist.net/anime.php?id=9379).
The title just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Well, it's coming from SHAFT, and is being directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, the same guy behind Arakawa, Sore Machi, and Pani Poni Dash. That means that it's going to be awesome by default.
There are other shows this spring that also look intriguing. Might even give Fall 2010 a run for its money.

Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man.
this just sounds as bad as it would and can be.
though I cannot fathom what exactly superpowers does Adolescent Man wield... is he a man baby hybird that shits his pants every single moment?

As of yesterday, I finished all of my Fall stuff.
Now to wait for the sixth~

Oh hey Mirai Nikki got a mini OVA a few weeks back. Fix Yuno's voice and make a full series please.
