*hug*
I get those feels with anything Clannad especially with the opening track and when I hear The Palm of a tiny hand"
Oh, the "hugging gif" from ep.18 of After Story gets me as well..
So many feels
I have seen Grave of the Fireflies, I don't think I could ever watch it again, I'd need someone next to me or something. Absolutely, incredibly sad sad sad movie. Cried so much and throughout so much of the movie too. It's been a couple years since I've seen it, but it's probably the saddest thing I've ever seen.
Even though it really pulls at the heart, it's a great film and one that everyone should watch for sure.
I've seen almost all Studio Ghibli movies =)
I get it with Clannad too, and when you posted those images of Akio about fathers day and the gif too, I most definitely got the feelings. So powerful to be moved by an image. God... I'm getting all teary thinking about it.

Pretty sure I watched that 5 years ago and it was called High School of the Dead
Eh, the manga didn't really grip me too well. I dropped it after a few chapters.

Yona was awesome! I can't wait until they adapt season 2! Huk better get a shot! Suu-won is a douche. ..

But does High School of the Dead have a vast roster of loli characters? Surely it has to be miles better because of this very fact. There's also a dog, 10/10.
Gangsta is going to be the only worthwhile show this summer isn't it.
Thus the day when Zenzou and Hijikata pairings was born. At least it gave us that.

Gangsta starts in like a week and that's the first show people are going to care about, when does the thread for Summer go up?
Can I pitch my thread names again???

Speaking about bad shows. Is anyone hyped for Overlord?
It seems like your typical gamer powerfantasy show but everything is cranked up to the max. The Main Character is a skeleton trying to take over the world with his hugeharem of girls army of loyal warriors. Pretty spooky.
Ya gotta have to do something to kill time in a zombie apocalypse.

The MC is a skeleton so I will watch at least one episode because I think that idea is great
I expect a lot of boner/boning puns, enough to make Brook groan

This show's LEGIT.
If animegaf doesn't like overlord , then you have no soul.
That's how hyped i am.
The books are awesome.just awesome.

Why is it so good? I can see the potential. Is that skeleton straight up evil? That would be cool to watch.

I can't wait for Nina and Nicolas's interactions to be animated in Gangsta. I just hope Manglobe faithfully follows the manga.

Is it going to be dark and grim? Like, are there mature themes? People getting chopped up?
If the show will be anything like the books then it's going to be pretty great and nothing like your typical gamer powerfantasy.
Not getting hyped until I've seen the first episode at least, but I'm expecting great things. (This is a contradiction, isn't it...)

Sigh...
You know what would have made this interesting? If the guy in this actually was homosexual. Even better, make it so the guy didn't want to be there. Because you know, I think one has the right to feel very offended in the fact that he was kidnapped and forced to attend a school against his will!
Has there ever been a harem anime where the only angry tsundere character in the harem was the main male protagonist himself? Or someone who's in a self-insert situation like that one but desperately wants out of it?
Do these LN writers even try to change up the formula regarding its characters? At this point, I feel like even I could write a harem LN that's better than 90% of the ones that are out there!

I've only read 2 Vols so far but it does get dark and grim, though it does have its lighthearted moments like interactions between Nina and Nicolas for example. If I could give you something to compare to its kinda like Black Lagoon. The series is not a masterpiece but it's a solid and enjoyable series.
It will turn out great if Manglobe adapts it faithfully.

Similar to that anime about the assassin organization with the best assassin being the sword wielding girl that aired 2-3 seasons ago. Just not as extreme in Shadow the Edgeeeeeeeeeehog.
Gangsta at the least has the decency to not constantly shift tones back and forth from what I recall.
Well, as far as I know boob string was the biggest innovation in harem anime in years, so I'm going with no.

It sounded exactly like the kind of harem self-insert fantasy where main character gets teleported into a fantasy world as a super powerful wizard who goes on to have everyone worship how awesome he is. Was that a wrong impression of mine?

Aren't there more books around roughly the level of Shin Sekai Yori or Hyouka to adept? Why this...any horny, illiterate 14 year old could come up with this.

Heh I don't think Akame Ga Kill is in any way a good comparison so.....😒 They are really completely different.
Anyways I'm also looking forward to that Rokka anime based on a fantasy setting, plus it has a bit of a Aztec feel.

Isn't that supposed to be good? I remember people talking/posting about it and it's supposed to be much better than the synopsis and name imply.

Oh okay if it's the edginess then I guess it makes sense.
You're better off looking forward to manga adaptions than LN adaptions. For example if The Ancient Magus Bride were to get an anime adaption by a competent Staff it would be better than Hyouka. Yeah I said it but that's because the manga is really solid and the atmosphere is just amazing and breathtaking. It feels so magical and mystical.
I have not, though they are in the plans. So much to watch and I've been busy lately too.

The MC loves thighs so he's okay in my book. The manga adaptation is okay and shows there is some potential for the anime if done right.

The questions is what people were posting that...
I mean sure, for all I know this LN deals with the psychological consequences of growing up in a secluded, messed up cult and our MC is about to meet some damaged girls who seriously have little concept of the outside world.
But really, it won't be that. It will be a shitty harem, whose precise level of shittiness is yet to be evaluated.
Based Onii-sama.
hahaha, but the way the tentacles went into the two legs was a bit extreme
The bad thing of this show is that I'm getting too hungry
Yakitate Japan prepared me for this show but Soma went a step beyond even that. It isnt quite so over the top later on though. That first episode is a definite hook. thats not to say that later reactions arent spectacular. Oh noooo.
I know what you mean. Some shows hit you really hard. Punch in the gut.
Eccentric Family took all of them!
