I'm not 100% on the story yet, but I absolutely love the characters introduced thus far and the nature of the city this all takes place in. The fight sequence at the end was heavenly to watch.

Isn't the source material of Kekkai Sensen supposed to be this super generic crap? Is this gonna be like one of those situations where the anime goes off on its own?

Please tell me the utapri singers did a great job, and also if Shingan Crimsonz was in the episode.
Uhm, hello everyone! I was told that I could come here to get some recommendations on anime to watch. I already have a couple recommended to me, but I would like to ask for more. I'd prefer watching anime that doesn't go over 50 episodes, as that's pretty long, and I'm looking for light hearted stories, coming of age or fun adventure stories. I'm not looking for gory action battle scenes and what-not. Hope you all can help me!!! =)
Sorry if this isn't the right way to request stuff.

Highschool DxD Born episode 1: Absolute filth, I love it.
Is it just me or is the language in the show a bit more.. mean spirited than it was before? Within the first half you have Issei's friend calling glasses girl a bitch, then Issei calls her a c**t, then later on Issei calls Gasper a f****t.
Is that just the fansubs? because the sub I was watching was pretty damn terrible and made little sense at times and I wouldn't be surprised if they took some liberties with the dialogue.
It's not enough to turn me off the show, but damn it felt out of place, especially with Issei saying those things.
Also, could anyone recommend me a show like Yahari Ore No Seishun Love Come Wa Machigatteiru? I'm in the mood for that kind of anime right now.

Eight times out of ten, yes. Funi would never be that extreme, even in a show like this. Which is one more reason why I'm waiting for the official subs.

I found the singing just fine and yes they did show at the end and were shadow'd out so you couldn't see them.

Acchi Kochi is one of the lightest comedies I've ever watched in anime, definitely watch that.
Also give a watch to this season's hidden gem, I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying.
Also of course give a watch to Barakamon and Nozaki-kun. Two other favorites here in AnimeGAF from recent seasons. All of those are light hearted, amazing, and not too long.
Check out Steins;gate, it starts lighthearted, but it gets a bit crazy after awhile. Never gory action though. Also maybe Watch Girls Und Panzar, it's light hearted warfare with cute girls in tanks!
Also Gekkan-Shoujo Nozaki-kun is the best and fits perfect with what you want. It also contains the greatest character ever, Chiyo Sakura!

it's MaMo of course he did a good job.
You might enjoy some slice of life stuff if you want something cute and relaxing. Personally I'd recommend Lucky Star, Minami-ke, the four seasons of Hidamari Sketch, and both seasons of K-ON. You may also like Tamako Market, Non Non Biyori, and Kiniro Mosaic.
Not entirely sure if this qualifies as an "adventure" story, but I also feel like recommending the film Porco Rosso. It's a Miyazaki film about a pilot who has the head of a pig. Sounds a bit strange, but it's actually really great! One of my favorites by him. I have it on the mind right now since I got the BD recently, and I think more people ought to give it a watch.
Thanks for this, I like the look of Watch Girls Und Panzar, will check it out, that looks like what I'm looking for. I will keep the Steins;Gate recommendation in my mind, but not exactly that.
Acchi Kochi looks like something I will enjoy, thanks. I Can' Understand What My Husband is Saying looks like a funny one, will probably watch this too, thank you. Barakamon looks good.. ahh all the recommendations are good, thank you all so much.
Slice of life!! That's the term I was trying to find, yes, I would like to watch slice of life anime. Thanks for the recommendations! I've seen all Studio Ghibli films, a few of which are definitely slice of life, I've also seen Wolf Children. Thanks a bunch you guys!
After Girls Und Panzar also check out the recommendations above you for both Lucky Star and K-On, both are pretty good and seem to be what you are looking for.
ALSO NOZAKI-KUUUUUN lol
Thank you all so much, this will be a lot of fun.

Have you seen Hyouka?
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Even here in the US the official sub-title is Shokugeki no Soma.
Food Wars is a shitty title that they came up with because they were too lazy to come up with something more clever than a short summary of what happens in the show. It's like if the official US title for Shirobako was "Cute Girls Make Anime."
Ohhh, I thought this thing looked familiar and it was bugging me for a while (or like, 5mins but that's still too long). I downloaded the mobile game while I was browsing the japanese appstore for garbage F2P rhythm games. Cool style, seemed pretty bad though.
Nope, I just googled it and that sounds like the exact kind of thing i'm looking for.
Not sure why i'm so drawn to shows where the main characters are part of a school club and interact as club members. They just work so well.
Thanks!
Cyan was playing one and earned a high score before being summoned to right the world as a goth catgirl. Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
Hello! Kin-iro Mosaic 01
Two Manga Time series in the same season? It's like a dream come true. The amount of English is the same as it ever was - mostly a refresher course on the characters and some backstory as to where Shino's Anglophile tendencies came from. Feels like it never left, though now I can't unhear Kongou whenever Karen speaks. Her two "She's right behind me, isn't she?" moments were cute. Still in top form, and this should provide a nice counterbalance to whatever Grisaia gets up to in the coming Sundays. I like the OP as well, though I don't think this season's ED is a cover of any particular song.

Looking through the thread about the person who misses HolyBaikal, currently 5 pages in. Is recommending School Days a bannable offence now?
I just saw you post and I googled it, looks very much into what I want to watch, thank you.
I believe some users were banned for bringing it up, I'm not sure why. I'm a little scared to google it. PM I guess?

I'd say that it's still a great show to recommend.

I just want to highlight how well this scene was done. Amane was born without sight yet one day during a walk through the forest she suddenly can see the flowers in front of her. The reflection of the environment in her eyes at that moment she gains the ability to see is so subtle yet sells that scene so well and gives it that raw emotional mix of amazement and anxiety.
could only be seen as weight being lifted. This episode also gives another small hint at Ginko's past. Despite its brevity it's always welcome to witness what shaped Ginko into what he is today.

One of the highlight episodes of this season. From the moment Amane gains sight she has to rediscover her world through a beautiful montage of her father describing the colors of the sky to the birds in the air. With this gift of sight comes the curse of time. The conclusion
of losing her sight once again

Yes. Even with the abundance of SoL shows in the past half decade, I would consider Azumanga to be among the best even still.
Oooh, I watched this one a while ago. Don't know if they made more episodes from when I last watched it, but I really enjoyed it.
It's definitely still worth recommending! I actually had forgotten about it, but it's still worth watching for people who want to find good SoL anime.
Edit: If you've watched the first season of Mushishi, there's actually a second season that was released recently. Definitely watch it, it's great.

It's still one of the best and set the (or at least a very good) standard for SoL graduation episodes.
Edit: y'all fucked up in not recommending Arcadius Aria and Sora no Woto.
I cry every time.
Took a look at the production companies on Nanoha Vivid, and saw who licensed Dog Days to CR - Aniplex. The only problem is that Aniplex US already announced all the series they're streaming for this season (F/SN, Plastic Memories, Nisekoi:, Gunslinger), and Nanoha Vivid is not among them - for understandable reasons, being a spinoff of a franchise that never got off the ground in America.
So that makes it look extremely unlikely that it'll ever be simulcast, but I'll keep a faint bit of hope.

Realest look at slice of life since Azumanga Daioh?
So we have Aniplex to blame for no Dog Days last season? :T

No that'd probably be Hidamari. Sora no Woto is like the final season of Aria.
Very likely, yes.
Isn't Kadokawa also on the committee? While their stuff has been simulcast before, maybe this could be an Amagi Brilliant Park situation.

I'm currently on the first season but there is a second season on Crunchyroll! I've read it's more of the same but that seems perfectly fine to me.

Kekkai Sensen 01
You had my curiosity but now you have my attention. Strong first episode. So we have a wimpy lead character who wants to become stronger for an end game goal, and the stronger for now teammates. I'm gonna guess at one point that Protagonist is going to be in the middle of a fight where all of his teammates are down and he gains a new power out of anger. Because shonen.

Don't see Kadokawa listed. King Records (Star Child), A-1 Pictures, Aniplex, Seven Arcs... and that's it.

They made two new seasons for it last year. If you watched before that then you have plenty of material!
