I'd suggest that you give it time until eps 4 or 5 at the very least, since the show is at its best when it's a pure mystery. It faked me out with the most generic initial premise of "Big bad has revived after X time, and it's up to X people selected by an ancient goddess to stop him!" and the awful as hell CGI fiends, but it got really interesting when it switched gears into focusing on the mystery of who the seventh (fake) brave was.

Too bad

Spoiler

the finale episode introduced another brave again, meaning they're likely to be back to doubting each other once again next season (if it ever gets adapted).

About your spoiler:

Spoiler

Even though the premise of "there's a 7th" is the same in the 2nd book, it plays out completely different, mainly because the reader actually learns at the beginning who it is and there are many scenes from the 7ths pov. There's also a second main mystery.

It's pretty fascinating how great it works out.

So, I've barely been watching anime this season for various reasons. Only really One Punch Man (like everyone else) and Shomin Sample (I like the manga, leave me alone). Also Ushio and Tora from last season, though I'm 2 episodes behind now.

Any gems I'm missing?

Gundam IBO is worth a go

I'm taking someone to watch it, she's the fan not me, even though I watched the previous ones. They are just alright. I'm only there to try the D-Box seats lol

Cool, tell me what you think about it afterwards.

I've read the book some years ago and I've been holding all of my despair in for all this time.

Gundam, Osomatsu-san and Haikyuu S2 are all great. Young Black Jack is pretty good too when it can maintain some consistency in tone.

Check out the new Gundam.

Oh, and perhaps KAGEWANI would be more interesting to you. It's a series of short horror stories, with minimal animation, but great voice acting and sound work.

Oh, that's nice! Still, I'm kind of scared about fiends playing a larger role after how it looked like

Spoiler

the lizard crow thing would probably get in the heroes' way soon

. Fiends are the one thing the show should do without as much as it can, since they're awful CG that stands out like a sore thumb against drawn characters.

The Perfect Insider 7

Still hate the backstory stuff, but I love the talking in the present. The characters are all unique and sometimes interesting like the OS programmer lady who finally got a chance to share some lines.

Favorite scene

 

[Line_HTX]

One Punch Man 07

These Genos upgrades continue to get ridiculous and badass. I love the track that plays when he opens the suitcase for his new and improved arms to equip.

Bang Silver Fang is like that observer but won't do anything unless he feels compelled to. Hopefully he'll show how great he is with his S ranking.

It's too bad Saitama's punch wasn't enough to obliterate the whole meteor. The resulting fragments devastated a large portion of City Z as expected, but thankfully no one was killed.

I like how Saitama maintained his composure from the angry mob around him. It took some patience before turning the tables around the Tank Top Brothers. I liked how he instantly made bgb- I mean, Tank Top Black Hole cry like a fool before berating everyone around him that he doesn't do this hero business to their admiration and public worship. Don't have your car? Tough, at least you are still living without the meteor. I kind of wanted Saitama to tell all of them off more, but Genos did the right thing in stepping and saying "Let's go home." Good job in deescalating the situation, Genos. Definitely the best S rank hero so far.

I mean the only other s ranks you've seen in the anime aside from tiny cameos are bang and metal knight who only just showed up

also the best s class hero is king who sadly is unlikely to get much screen time this season

[phoenix296]

As for 2015, I'll have to agree that it's kind of been a mediocre year, which isn't the same as saying that it hasn't had good shows, I just don't think many of them will go down in the history books as 'definitive' shows that 'need' to be watched ten years from now.

Feel the same way. At least 2015 has been exciting in other mediums.

 

[kewlmyc]

Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely check out the new Gundum and give the others at least one episode watch.

[renegade_dewitt]

I posted this question on reddit, and I have yet to hear an answer, so I thought I might as well pose my question here and see what Anime-GAF thinks. Here it is:

So, let me get this straight: after 7 episodes, are we any closer to finding out the motive for Dr. Magata to murder her parents? To me, after 7 episodes, it doesn't seem like we have any clear explanation as to why she would kill her parents. Am I missing something?

Have at it GAF!

Yeah, her trying to act all mature with her gyaru getup but actually being pure as snow is pretty good

Has anything really happened in this show besides the murder in the first episode? I feel like the cast had spent more time trying to be witty and deep than actually trying to solve the mystery. So my answer to your question is no. I would venture to guess either just cause or she thought they needed to be set free (jk).

This looks really cute. Especially that blonde girls face at one point. Is this series any good? Where would I start?

Edit: For some reason autocorrect corrected especially to racially.

From all I've seen, the first two series are good but that staff departs and the show suffers afterward. Good staff is back for the movie though!

Exactly. Hopefully these fundamental plot details gets elucidated by the end of the show.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Her parents could find them if they ran? It seems more reasonable to off the people in your way then flee. Its not exactly a fresh idea in stories.

I think what's ultimately most disappointing about the show isn't the goofy comedy or the bizarre drama but there's the occasional genuine emotional moment that would have felt great to have more of in the show in general. Thought Fubuki's test by Akagi & Kaga was one of those moments especially with the soundtrack selection for the scene. IIRC episode 2 was really good in this regard too.

You know guys, maybe Sentai will get the dub for Nozaki-kun right.

And maybe David Cage's next game will have a story that makes sense.

Ok, Taku did nothing wrong. The characters are all pretty good, except we have a loli king now, but oh well Haru almost dreamin' of his fantasy 3some. The "My sister can't be this cute" reference was kinda funny.. The story is moving along and interesting and the battles pretty good. The next battle should be good too, but the foreshadowing by Haru from Taku's words was kinda sad. This is actually better than I was expecting!

There was a minor panic some time back on a trailer with Monica Rial, but she said she was only reading it and wasn't part of the staff.
