Classroom Crisis, Charlotte, Monster Musume, Akagami No Shirayuki-hime, Himouto!, To LOVE-Ru:D2, Gate..


Could these make it to Crunchyroll?

Every time I see Gate I think of

The first two already have, and Snow White is with Funi.

I, personally, wouldn't recommend Gate... but it has an audience. That's not me.

Akagami No Shirayuki-him, right?
And that I'd one of the two I didn't want Funi getting, fuck my life.. This summer is going to suck now. Screw off Funi..


Gate is the one with all the political crap, right?
 
One of the things I've heard about Gate is that it's very nationalistic. Like Mahouka levels.

I think I had enough conservative Japanese wanking in Mahouka so I'll prob skip Gate

Mahouka is like the scenes in Geass where Charles vi Britannia is doing his speeches, except that is hammy and Wakamoto voices him and Mahouka is serious
 
Gatchaman Crowds 1

What the heck did I just watch? Is this some Super Sentai the anime?

Hajime is pretty good MC, loving her carefree attitude. Also Panda-kun is cute.

I have no idea what Gate is about. Rio Rainbow Gate is about a casino and a girl with magical powers to bring luck to people. Then it turns into a sort of shounen competition battle anime. Its weird. and really colorful.
 
Gatchaman Crowds 1

Yeah kinda. Gatchaman is pretty much a toku series, pretty influential one too. Think it even influenced Super Sentai.

Crowds is a lot different then the og series though. Granted I never watched the OG series but I know it via osmosis

Gatchaman did play a direct role in inspiring Goranger, the very first Sentai. And an even directer role in inspiring Jetman, which was pretty much Gatchaman but live action.

Thanks for the information, it was helpful.

Hajime is the best

I can see why.

Is there? Huh, didn't know about that. Well, it's not available anywhere official yet so I can't watch it. Hope CR gets that too.
I don't think they would, given they didn't get the director's cut. Not ideal for English speakers but #0 is still free on Japanese Hulu I believe. I'd recommend watching it because the 10 minutes of new content they showed is firstly, great, and pretty straightforward, but also doesn't look like something that would be repeated in the series itself because it's an introduction. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

Hajime is an overpowered shounen protagonist that converts everyone to Hajimeism.

She's just the best.
 
Shokugeki no Soma - 1

Decided to watch this on a whim after hearing all the positive impressions about it here and its similarities to Gundam Build Fighters.

And holy crap were those people right (well I'm not seeing the GBF comparisons yet though)! Never before have I been on the edge of my seat watching an anime character cook food!

The ecchi stuff was a bit too much though. Hopefully it does get toned down like people say it does, but otherwise yeah! This was entertaining!

Arslan Senki - 13
So you give me a delicious reveal , sudden twist and incredible cliffanger ONLY to give me a recap episode next week ?
ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS ?????
Arslan%20Senki%20-%2013.jpg

Sudden TWIST!
Damn, this episode took a dip in the animation department ...i guess that week off will be for the best ...

This show 's legit the characters , the plot ..it's INCREDIBLE.
Hopefully we'll have 25 full episode and not 24 episode and a recap ep.
 
I thought the foodgasm in the first episode was so over the top it was hilarious

It gets toned down and becomes more like a sports show or a Fukumoto manga where it's just goofy metaphors

Will truly be bad writing if Silver Mask dies in this franchise.

When you finish Soma, watch Yakitate! Japan. Its almost the same idea but came many years before.

The only part that bothered me was the tentacles. NOTHING is ever improved by adding tentacles. Fuck that stuff :/

Started out to get horny kids audience, get female reader instead.

I think there's more shot of nekkid dude than gals in later chapter.

Magician's Academy ep.1-2
20081013104426.jpg

Ok, first of all, who's rec was this one? Second all, what the hell is going on? So far this is eccentric, ecchi, nonsensicle, but fun, lol. It's pretty crazy and interesting so far and we have a childhood friend, a cousin and a familiar as a small harem so far, so this could be fun stuff.

Me! The original LN was written by the same author as Outbreak Company's (he also wrote Chaika the Coffin Princess and Scrapped Princess), but that's only partially why I like it. It's so cartoony and fun.

And contains the only instance of claymation censoring you'll find in anime.

Yup the art has been weird for the past 3 or so episodes. In this one specifically, when they are inside the castle already, depending on the camera angle, you see Arslan's hair tied even though he had untied it earlier. Then the camera angle changes and it is untied again lol. Then there's the faces of the characters that just don't seem consistent and keep changing in minor ways. The story is top notch, but they are slacking on the animation a bit.
 
The problem with the tentacles part in Soma along with the other ecchi scenes isn't just that it's very out of place and doesn't belong in a cooking show, it's also because it makes the show very difficult to recommend to others!

You end up having to stick with the whole "it gets better later" excuse while the person you recommended it to frowns at you with contempt! And for what reason? An over-emphasis on imagery about how much a girl didn't enjoy how something tasted when there are tons of different alternatives that could have been used?

Dog Days'' 1
Bunch of whatever that had the decency of looking pretty nice for TV animation.

Etotama 5
Filth.

Etotama 6
More filth.

Etotama 7
Recap episode so I could better understand all the filth I'd seen before.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san 1

One of my summer list entries is to give this a proper watch instead of bits & pieces and it's remarkable how the cruelest joke in the show is the existence of episode 1 being such a sweet, heartfelt episode that ends up not being representative of the series.

Show by Rock!! 6
Even a beach ep doesn't make up for the terrible drama leaking in.

Show by Rock!! 7
The show is rapidly approaching Dog Days S1 levels of drama malarky which is disappointing as the show is at its best when it's just everyone goofing off. Thank god for Shingancrimsonz saving this ep as they're apt to do. It doesn't bode well for Plasmagica when the supporting cast band is more engaging.

Strike Witches Operation Victory Arrow 2
I can't believe the hero of this episode was Erwin Rommel.

It's not that bad


Also guess I'm the only one who wasn't super bothered by the drama in Show by Rock?

UBW 2-25
C2dZsCI.jpg

An actual episode with Dynamite Rin? Holy shit.
I thought this was a very poignant and reflective end to not only UBW but also Fate/Zero. I feel Ufotable did much better with the original material in terms of direction and so this does give me a smidgen of hope for God Eater.
tumblr_nqm4bpP5HG1s6441yo1_500.jpg

Shirou working on those gains.
The show as a whole was highly uneven on multiple fronts but I feel they did nail most of the high moments. Without being in the production room, I feel like Ufotable was hampered by how stringently they had to follow FSN at times. I guess that's one of those pitfalls that comes with an iconic series.

Maybe Girl's Work might turn out better due to a higher degree of freedom.

It's fine when it's a natural fit to the storytelling. Kancolle ran into something similar where everyone's just goofing off for the most part, poi. Except for the girl that's emotionally crippled after her friend was sunk off the coast of W island. lol
