Thanks y'all I'll check out your suggestions for sure.

What kind of shows do you like?

Generally anything, if it has a good story or decent action/animation. I've watched and enjoyed countless shows so I'm not really too picky.

 

[Crocodile]

For all the legit flaws the show has, the dub makes Kill la Kill much more fun to watch than it was in Japanese. I'm still giggling over the "Queen Bitch" line from a couple weeks ago.

Still mad that Toonami puts on One Piece at 2:30am especially since they are doing Enies Lobby arc.

Blame the casual Toonami audience. Ratings were low so it moved further back in the block.

 

[Puruzi]

Kill la Kill is excellent and anyone who says otherwise is factually incorrect. Some haters up in dis

 

[names2hard4you]

Since I've seen some folks do ratings, I'll do a "hype chart" for the shows that I'm currently watching this season. I like everything that I am watching for one reason or another, so rather than rating whether the content is good or not, I'll just rate the stuff according to how excited I am to watch these weekly:

Hypest!!!
- SNAFU2
- DanMachi
- Fate UBW
- Grisaia

Hype!!
- Blood Blockade Battlefront
- Soma

Not as Hype but still alright!
- Plastic Memories
- Seraph
- Arslan

- Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon (Danmachi)
> Good story and action, plus it's got the Goddess Hestia

- Plastic Memories
> not much action, but has a really good story and likable characters. Can be emotional at times

- Etotama
> just fun, frantic, cute, High energy anime with good CG battles.


Fruit of Grisaia is good, but it's got a lot of text and story.

 

[AquaWateria]

Anything decent this season? I'm already watching SNAFU and Souma.

Blood Blockade Battlefront and Arslan Senki.

Ojamajo Doremi 3:

We meet the third main character, and we go through quite a lot, actually. This show isn't really dragging its heels. We go from Doremi and Hadzuki disliking Aiko to them finding out what she's really like and everyone being friends in only a few minutes, and yet it feels pretty natural. The relationship between Aiko and her father is pretty nice to see, and the show establishes it pretty quickly. I also thought it was nice that

Spoiler

Doremi really didn't have to do anything except tell him about the event. Her magic use wound up being completely unnecessary because the real version came anyway. That was a sweet moment.

I continue to be impressed with the charm that this show always has, and it's making me care about the characters quite a bit. This is a very classy kids show, and it definitely feels like a show out of the same era of Toei that produced Digimon Adventure and Tamers.

Ore Monogatari and Sound! Euphonium.

It's awesome to see that I'm not the only one watching this. Call it tacky, cheap, overdramatic, I don't care, I am really digging the series. Season 1 went to some dark places here and there but season 2 is only 4 episodes in and is already knee deep into dark territory. If the last episode is anything to go by, matters are only going to get worse lol.

Why can't we have the best of both worlds?

 

[AquaWateria]

Why can't we have the best of both worlds?

Because the world doesn't work that way.😏

 

[BakedYams]

Because the tournament arc was boring as fuck and anti-hype and most of the fights were a bunch of asspull one shot victories

And Kenzen Robo Daimidler meshed fanservice with action and the story too
That show was also terrible.

I disagree, it was hype lol

I thought Kill la Kill was fun, but when compared to Gurren Lagann, it's kind of a big step down in every regard. Animation-wise, story-wise, character-wise, etc.

Well you really can't compare the two, I think Kill La Kill was intentionally a satire on shonens and how they exaggerated the showing of skin on the show. It had character but compared to Gurren Lagann, its just a little rat to a big cat.

Puruzi ;_;7

 

[victreeb3l]

Kill la Kill was a lot of fun man. I dont know why people expected this to be Gurren Lagann 2 or something. It wasn't revolutionary but it was very entertaining.

I remember a lot of people feeling disappointed when the show was airing because

Spoiler

none of the main characters died or some heartbreaking event didn't happen on episode 8 like GL.

Like, what.

KLK also had a better ending than GL.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

All this comparing Kill La Kill to Gurren Lagann.

Can't we just agree that both of them were terrible, just in different ways?

Yeah not many here liked it because it started off really good in S1, then got really really dark. S2 has been all backstory, but it's been really good stuff. You're right though

Spoiler

seeing his old abusive father come back and having to shoot him was like goddam. I really hope he did it...

Oh, do you not like the feeling of being repeatedly kicked in the groin?

I certainly do. You might even say I get off on it.

Etotama 1

Haha whaaaaat.

The CG fight scenes are pretty decent actually.

Plus, cats.

 

[strangedopamine]

This remains to be the best thing to come out of Kill la Kill.

Apart from that I'm indifferent to the show, it's great at times (Episode 4 and 7 being the standouts for me) and sometimes it can be pretty terrible.

Gurren Lagann was amazing at its time. All KLK had is building the hype from GL.

That ending was straight bullshit man. I walked away from the screen and let that shitty ending play. Almost drilled a hole on my TV.

Yeeeesssss. New breakfast-before-work show.

Gosh, I remember I used to watch this a long time ago when I lived in Venezuela. Holy cow it's been that long.

 

[Narag]

except for Mako.

Satsuki, Gamagoori, and Nonon were the only redeeming qualities.

 

[Puruzi]

Gama and Nani Sore were great, Satsuki is shit

Sailor Moon (S) 104-105

Chibs just has no luck on her first outing. Bringing her in for comic relief to contrast against Haruka and Michiru's increasingly serious plot makes sense, but even Ami's fog attack was more useful. That Shin-chan crossover was some fine corporate synergy, and hopefully Viz can find a way to retain that when they end up dubbing it. The second episode was a lot of fun. Mako episodes are usually pretty great, and this one was no exception. It's the first time in a long time that someone other than Usagi got to make the final shot against the MotW, too!

 

[Narag]

Gama and Nani Sore were great, Satsuki is shit

She was the MC we deserved rather than useless.

 

[SliceSabre]

Comparing things to Gurren Lagann? Setting the bar so low literally any anime can reach it?

 

[Puruzi]

She was the MC we deserved rather than useless.

Satsuki is awful. AWFUL.
I really, really wanted Ryuuko to deck her in that one scene. Ugh.

 

[Cornbread78]

Yeeeesssss. New breakfast-before-work show.

Definitely. I'm really surprised it hasn't been followed more around here. It is surprisingly good, the last episode was hilarious.

Oregairu/SNAFU Season 2, Arc 1 - Hina Ebina, Yaoi Master

I don't understand why Yui and Yukino are all upset at the end of this. He makes a fake confession for no one's benefit other than Tobe (since everyone else of relevance knows what's up) and Tobe's not even all that mad about it.

Then Yukino gives him some shit and then Yui gets all tearful and pissed. I'd like to think its deeper than "Hachiman's harem lol" but it doesn't make any sense otherwise and I've seen too much anime to really believe its deeper, really. Hachiman's reputation isn't ruined at all and Yui knows he's faking it. So what's she pissed about? The only thing I can guess is she's mad that he made that confession and upset her since she's secretly in love with him. Except its not like this is something she made explicit at any time, so what's she mad about?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Ryoko was awful. Tolerable until she starting turn edge because I'M A MONSTER NO ONE LOVES ME AND I WILL IGNORE ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY LOVE ME ):<

Edgelord Ryuuko was great. Also the end of 21 and beginning of 22 with that sweet mecha homage made her even more awesome than she already was.

You and I must have very different defintions of great because every time a show pulls that bakemono card it is terrible and contrived bullshit. Kill la Kill isn't even the worst example since Valvrave and Parasyte exist

It's not about their reactions, it's about how he always jumps on the grand in acts of self-deprivation constantly. They want him to build himself up mentally and feel he is pulling himself away from society into solidarity. You can tell Yui does have feelings for him and wants to "save" him as well. This theme continues into S2 as it is really starting to cause a problem with everyone around him. Keep watching.

They just hate how hachiman can only solve problem by making himself the villain. Which keep alienating himself from normal life more and more.
