Oh man this show is so great. Easily my favorite show so far I've watched this season - albeit I've only watched 5 shows so far (so slow x_x) and one of my favorites of the year after 1 episode. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the first episode of a romcom more than this. Definitely going to catch up on this one as soon as possible. Hopefully the show keeps this pace up, everything about the first episode was perfect.

Well to be fair those are in OVA.
80-90's violence and nudity era was golden age for OVA format.

Good morning home slices!
The Idolm@ster 10
Makoto with that badass dash. I think part of the reason I'm enjoying this show way more than I thought I would is because I'm a sucker for underdog stories.
I love seeing that climb to success, and this series is doing a pretty solid job of depicting that. Dammit.

People say I'm overreacting when I say less blood is ruining One Piece. The next step will be putting sparks, just like Tokusatsus.
This sounds so awesome. Better than notblood anyhow.
hayate no gotoku can't take my eyes off you - 03
Figured I may as well scrub through this just to see what the show is like.
It's weird, and also bad. Weird in that it's quite dry, lacks the energy of the previous Hayate productions, and the humor (when an attempt is made, at least) is understated (at best; usually doesn't work at all). It's a very different vibe from the other projects. There's also these strange interludes where Ruka pops up on stage and delivers a monologue that tangentially seems to be related to whatever is happening; they don't work very well and contributes to the unpleasant strangeness of the show. Direction is lacking and the episode has a whole moves slowly.
The art is weird, and inconsistent. For this episode you have an assortment of just plain bad art, moments where characters look close to their previous incarnations, and then cuts where their head sizes suddenly increase for no reason at all:
Not to mention the awkward, close-up shots of Hinagiku looking unpleasantly detailed.
Worst is the music, though--that is, the fucking insert songs. There's one near the end and it feels horribly inappropriate and out of place.

And at some point, I remember all the blood in Bleach suddenly just becoming black ooze/scratch marks. It was even more glaring, because the first couple of seasons made such liberal use of it.
Huh? odd piece news, don't like but am okay as long as it doesn't play during the movie, should of got real life certified pirates to do a track.
One piece strong world had a bizarre intro song, with what sounded like nas doing a news report about some kid getting shot.
The guys pretty westaboo his a fan of Eminem & Micheal Jackson enough to put them in One piece.
The anime has always had less blood then manga from day 1.
anime adaptations in general usually have less blood then there manga counter part.
Wow. I'm glad I decided to skip out on Manglobe Hayate. Maybe this is why otaku don't buy their anime.
I'm glad to hear that you like it.

Ultra violence is pretty disgusting.
Agreed. Any shift away from ultra-violence was for the better.

Heh, that was a pretty nicely done AMV. Also reminds me that doa is a pretty awesome group.
Really? I remember when Ichigo fighting Grimmjoe and Ulquiorra there's still a lot of blood, although I'm not watching Bleach that much.
The cat might be the best.

I only watched the first episode but I actually enjoyed the dry humor the show was implementing.
But now I'm dropping it because they have completely defiled the goddess that is Hina. Those pictures make me cringe.
Hurricane Polymar OVA
So this is pretty similar to Casshern: Robot Hunter from 1993 in that it's sort of a gritty remake of a show from the 70's with character designs by Yasuomi Umetsu (yes, there's nudity). I'm not a huge fan of his designs, but I do admit there is something charming about them when being viewed in the context of the 90's, the overly colorful trashiness really represents the spirit of a lot of shows from that era that refused to let go of the 80's but still tried to be hip and new.
Anyway, this OVA was nothing special, it had a nice fight scene in the first episode (animated by Masahiro Ando, supposedly You Yoshinari also worked on the episode) and some nice animation, it kept me entertained (and bored at times), but it also felt unfinished and unpolished, with a lot of weird scene transitions.

Give definition to that.
I'm fine with blood pool and mutilation, but any detail of that are too much for me... or not lol.
Psycho-Pass kind of gore is the worst kind for me.

Oh neat, I wonder if all the old Tastunoko stuff got gritty 90s OVAs. It sure sounds like the ones by how that reads too!

We're all friends here. "fuckers" is probably just a term of endearment.
School Days 4
This fucking show...
This fucking show...
So basically Makoto's super bummed because Kotonoha won't put out. He tried groping her boob but she resisted. Like all the other times he tried stupid shit. (Okay, this wasn't nearly as stupid as going for a kiss during the hanky-panky part of a movie, but it still wasn't well played on his part).
Kotonoha later discusses this with Sekai. Sekai asks Kotonoha about sex and if she ever plans on going anywhere with Makoto. Kotonoha proceeds to tell her her deepest sexual fantasies to her in great detail.
Anyway, Makoto talks about the incident with Sekai. Sekai decides the best course of action is to have him "train" on her. Yes, train on her.
So, after a series of failed attempts to find privacy, they settle for the roof of the school. Sekai instructs him on what he should do. She has him hold her hand, pet her hair, etc. Well, eventually she has him pet her boobs. Sound like a hilariously cheesy softcore porno? It might as well be. Anyway, surprise surprise, they end up making the beast with two backs on the roof (presumably).
As they're going home, Makoto decides he's a fucking dumbass (I'm just kidding. He decided that awhile ago), and asks Sekai if they can "train" again. Sekai says no. Next time he rounds the bases, it will be with Kotonoha. Anyway, he stumbles into Kotonoha somewhere and they make up. She invites him to a water park! Will there be hilariously awkward suggestive scenes here? I bet 1/17th of my left testicle on it.

Starting to sense a formula with wacky school hijinx first, then serious business conspiracy shounen later. It's a bit like watching two different shows, except it kinda works here?

You should only feel irritated if you are hyping bad shows. I know hosanna has better taste than that!
Maybe I'm just being too sentimental since I just got a dog recently. :'(
While I agree up to a point, it's rarely a good idea for artists to self-restrain themselves when there are works that clearly benefit from the gore.
I was kinda joking. There's a place for everything. Some people will enjoy ultra-violence, and it's not really my place to say that they shouldn't enjoy it.
I personally am kinda squeamish, so I can't handle organs unless it's done in a ridiculous way like Bakemonogatari. Psycho Pass was kinda this way for me. It was so surreal that I couldn't take it seriously. Honestly, it isn't as much ultra-violence that gets me as much as it is torture like the nail shaving I see popping up from time to time. The more relatable it is, the more it bothers me.
I'm so excited! Blonde girl gets introduced this episode, right? I can't wait! (For the episode. I don't really have a reason to be excited for blonde girl yet, but if you say she's cool then I'm looking forward to it more.)
I definitely agree with this most of all. If a show is enhanced by gore, it should use it. Doesn't mean I'll watch it or like it though.

In this anime, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the Wooser.Wooser 3
gamu no wooser
That's simply not true. Even if it is, the problem is just on the anime. Just compare the first episodes (good example - Zoro vs Mihawk "fight") with any scene with lots of blood after Moria's arc.

Like, imagine a battle in Legend of the Galactic Heroes if we had black shadows casting over every decapitation/slashing/incineration/guts spilling out of soldiers' intestines? So boring, and so totally against the message of the show.
In the list of fuckers who have dared to fuck like no fucker has fucked before, you are fucker number three.

Early OP may have a lot of blood, but stuff is still censored compared to the manga. In the Baratie arc,
Zeff didn't just severe his leg to save Sanji, he fuckin ATE it off.
/avatarquote
lol
Yeah, I remember that. It wasn't really a problem, since it was never show in manga too. But it was censoring, that's for sure. It's airing on a kids slot after all.
Looks like there's also a Gatchaman OVA (with Umetsu designs too), but I guess that's it.
We could count Tekkaman Blade among those types of remakes, but it's a TV show, and I think it's considered to be good by most people.

There is nothing worse than stuff like Ninja Scroll. It's just wretched and utterly deplorable stuff. I realize theres an audience for that kind of stuff but I'll never understand it. It's just completely grotesque and really the ultra violence is only used to cover up the fact that there isn't a whole lot going on with the rest of the show/movie/whatever.

Sekai is such a bro.
Of course not, nakama.
That's kinda what I imagine Queen's Blade to be like, except with violence replaced by fetish service.
No offense to any fans. I haven't actually watched it, so I don't really know much about it.
Haha, I know a couple of people who are into martial arts shows solely for the fighting. I don't particularly feel that it's stupid to watch a show for superficial reasons like violence or fanservice, but that's just me.
I feel the same way.
Episode 1 flowed extremely well and coupled with the music and fun characters it was a highly enjoyable first episode.

Guys that artist harem show is totally cool.
Cant wait for more cabbage room installations.

Sakurasou is pretty funny. It's pretty typical manzai comedy but Sorata's pretty great at delivering and everyone's crazy.
Not sure if it'll end up as a harem though. Maybe a love triangle?
Artfully-executed grotesquery is its own reward when it's fresh and unique. It just has a bad name now because it's both commonplace and done on shoestring budgets by animators who would rather be drawing little girls.
Don't hate!
Preach!

They have a habit of taking the older figures and turning them into ridiculously well endowed milfs. Goddamn.
This one is for you Chet!
And Wei Yan
falling in love at the first sight of Liu Bei was hilarious.
I doubt it will be a harem unless the teacher gets involved.
Cabbage girl is probably going to go after ladykiller-kun, and get friendzoned. That's what I hope will happen at least.
It's not like watching only for a thing is wrong, everyone has their reasons, if they are valid for them, that's all that matters.

Man, this episode cranked the wahjah up to 11. Entertaining as hell (especially the
which was absolutely hilarious) but... damn. Fuck me if it isn't almost painfully hard to watch this. I couldn't help but pause it and look away every now and then. Few shows can intentionally pull that off so props to KyoAni I guess.
