Are you watching both those series just to see how bad it gets?

I will say this, Cavalry of a Failed Knight is far better on the comedy side. It jokes around with many of the things Asterisk War takes seriously. For example when the main character walks in to the tsundere changing in Asterisk War, he just waits there and tries to explain. The Cavalry Knight lead tries to start striping to 'even the score'. The Cavalry Knight also accepts the duel because he's confident he can beat her while the Asterisk War lead just gets dragged into events. Also this:
More importantly the Cavalry Knight lead is far smugger.
The pacing is much quicker in Cavalry Knight and the storyboarding so far has been better. The art direction in both is lousy as fuck but that's to be expected although Asterisk War might be a hair better but it's splitting hairs.
More importantly the Cavalry Knight lead is far smugger.

I feel like this can fit about 3 other shows
Per season. Since forever.
This looks thoroughly dreadful.

It's a shame they couldn't squeeze the Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut adaptation into this season to complete the trifecta.
Should I watch that, just to see how horrible it can be? But I already have Seraph S2 for that category...

I haven't watched anything yet, but from reading this thread it sounds like this season is pretty shitty.

It's not. Don't judge it by shitty LN adaptations being exactly what anyone would expect them to be.
And they air the same day. That's actually kinda funny.
We should split the thread in 2 groups, each group has to watch one of these two shows and try to convice the other group that their show is more horrible.
Still better than Absolute Duo.
This season has a new Lupin series. That alone redeems it and most of the shows with promise haven't started yet.
Hooray for low bars!
No, just the proliferation of shitty LN adaptations that show up like clockwork and Heavy Object.
Yea. Honestly it's actually kinda impressive how similar so many of these shows are. There are parts that are just straight lifted from other series/franchises.

So are we at a point where we can conclude that light novels are written via some program, which churns out a story after you input names and powers and stuff yet?
Polishing a turd will still make it a turd. Looks horrid.

Haikyuu second season is off to a good start on a positive note
At this point I write off any series that features a specialized academy setting. I have yet to regret not giving one a chance and there are a lot of them, especially after Index made the concept popular.

It's pretty close. Even the Heavy Object intro introducing the world state just felt lifted from something else.
Index is still better than all the clones. I'll take Biribiri over the rest of them.
Me too, though I prefer Railgun to mainline Index, just because Mikoto's a better protagonist than Touma.

Young Black Jack 01
These people just literally watch the kid get run over. That aside, this show seems to be pretty great! I joked around about how the OP reminded me of Soma, and you know what the same joy I felt while watching Soma cook and explain the procedures in that show are the same here as we see Black Jack performing the surgery. Definitely adding it to my weekly list.

I find if funny both girls are princesses with redish hair and Fire powers who are considered top tier and the lead is considered either unknown or a loser but not really.
Jarmel kun let's keep watching and see just how similar they are.

If you liked this, then I highly recommend watching the 2004 TV Series.
Or at least watch the first episode of the show, just to get some general background on Hazama (Black Jack) as a character.
Yep, one 48 min episode and its already AOTS.
Interesting that they used the whole arc as one episode. Made for a very concise and interesting semi-mystery and gave a better look into araragi's character.
Great start.
Hopefully Kizumonogatari doesn't get Hobbit'ed.
edit: by that i mean that it doesn't feel like bullshit

You know what I actually might. Gonna add it to my "to watch" list and when this season ends, I'll go watch him older.

Does the 2004 series have that annoying fuck? This show is awesome because she's not there m

Yeah, Pinoko's in it. The 2004 series was primarily aimed for children from what I've heard (even though they show some pretty dark stuff in it), and she's basically there to be his "funny-cute-little-sidekick" that most children's shows have.
Though IMO she doesn't outright ruin the show. You just kinda have to get used to her.

Attack on Titan: Junior High 1
Okay, this got a few chuckles out of me, but no real laughs.
It needs to go dumber.
Good ending song though.

I still need to watch those and I'm sure they're fantastic, but I really believe the 2004 series has a good charm and heart of its own.

Well, I'm trying to do my part.
[Urusei Yatsura] - 143
Onsen Mark using "Fly me to the moon" in his english class.
Ataru & Lum romance relationship episode, didn't expect Ataru to accept a date with Lum without other reasons.
[Owarimonogatari] - 01
I could hear Arararararagi all day, but I'll be happy with just 48 minutes.
well, it's easier to recommend the OVAs because there's only 12 episodes. the TV series is long

Attack on Titan: Junior High 01
If they were going to ape the first OP they should have gone the whole way and just did the first OP same song with the chibi art style. The use of the same OST is pretty funny at times, though. I know I said they should have gone all the way for the OP but this is already overusing "Scene from the series with a punchline at the end."
I dunno it's alright, a few of the gags were good, the one at the beginning with Jean was probably the best. But its clear this will just be an average comedy series using highly flanderized versions of the characters, which is about what anyone should have expected. At least it succeeds in making Eren look like a dumbass, thumbs up for that. I take it back, maybe S2 will be better then this.
In Attack on Titan Junior High, the cast of AoT gets attacked by Senjougahara instead of Titans.
