Hardly.
It didn't do crap worth bringing viewers and subs away from CR.

No, this season is just weak. CR still has MHA, Attack on Titan and Boruto so I doubt many people even give a shit.

CR has MHA so CR wins.
The true winner is FUNimation cuz it has MHA dubbed.

I just wish Funimation's Roku app wasn't so buggy.
With all their license acquisitions over the years though they have a surprising big pool of anime to stream.

CR has MHA, Attack on Titan, and several other small shows I am watching this season. Besides background stuff happening at CR, they're fine this season.

I have been watching MHA on their ps4 app so far and I told myself I would switch to pc if it ever even buffered once, but to my great surprise my experience as been amazing so far. Funimation has been good. I love what their doing with their simuldub. Really looking forward to the next batch of dubs coming soon.

That's good to hear. I'll have to try out that on console if I ever buy one.

it's still better than the ps3 app that constantly buffers.
but it is really weird that the roku app just craps out the video from time to time... seems to be something in the encoding of the video as it happens at the same spot on most videos.
that being said it seems far less common in new series than older ones.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Season 1 Episode 8 The Sparrow: Part 2
Awesome duel, Nelson as the Sparrow was great and Yuuma and Astral finally worked together.
I love feeling the flow.
The mom and nelson stuff was touching.

Also the art was weirding me out so still going to pass.
Just like every other season apparently.
Even with a ton of shit I don't care for (AoT, MHA, et al) I'm still finding lots to watch. Admittedly its mostly all sequels....but then thats par for the course these days. All sequels or based on things I already read.

Sometimes things are just weaker. Like I can already say 2017 for games is stronger then 2014 or 2016 was. Like I seriously doubt I'm going to retroactively last year of anime or this year of games is weak.

A season is just weaker when you have less things you like playing. This season is great so far imo. Now if amazon would help it would be even better.

typical animegaf view: "This season sucks, last season was better, next season looks boring but two seasons from now looks great."
Fall looks pretty bad actually.

With stuff like Infini-T Force, Children of the Whales, and Pop Team Epic, in addition to sequels with potential, I can't agree there.
For me with games its tough as I've been in a gaming umm funk for years. Only thing thats really brought me back has been the return of CRPGs via kickstarter and VR. And the latter is more promise than actuality as yet.
Summer certainly looks sparse if anichart is any guide.
More *monogatari is its saving grace. And New Game. And so again its just sequels to things.
What is next seasons Noitamina show? I can at least rely on that for the most part.

Shingeki no Bahamut Virgin Soul Episode 1
Good. They got rid of those stupid ass chapped lips on the characters.
Awesome first episode. Hopefully it meets the heights of the 1st season. At 24 episodes I am hyped for this.

Summer season looks like it will be super good.
Well that's already AOTY right there. What more do you need honestly?
Well...AOTY has already been sewn up for me with Rakugo (most likely) or Eccentric Family (if its as consistent as S1).
There are too many Narags in this season's fantasy shows.
Infini-T Force? Isn't that by the Psycho-Pass 2 director?
I feel this Fall is probably the weakest in years (2014?) but not all of the shows have been announced yet so maybe there's a few heavy hitters left.

Heavy Metal L-Gaim Episode 47 Boys Boys
Indeed every time Amu tried to speak they would just tell her to be quiet, I couldnt. Anyway the climax confrontation between Gablae and Daba Myroad was really worthwhile. I enjoyed the conversation and the actual progress that Daba could understand Gablae intentions and motivations however, with the battle raging on they couldnt do more. I hope there is one more confrontation before the final episodes. Need it. I kind of feel bad for Gablae because of the situation he is in, working with the liars around him

It is directed by Kiyotaka Suzuki, the Tatsunoko guy who was series director on Psychopass 2 underneath Shiotani and also served as assistant director on Ryo-chimo's Yozakura Quartet and Gatchaman Crowds Insight. Though it's being animated by Digital Frontier, which is the main reason I'm interested in it since I admire that studio's technical command of CG animation.

This season is pretty meh, and even I am usually super positive lol. Next couple seasons don't look any better atm, but it's way too early to assess anything fully.
Isn't the chief director the live action guy who helped create Psycho-Pass too?

I'm over halfway through the first episode and I'm honestly enjoying it so far. More than I expected to, really.
But is it better than:
- Zelda BotW
- Persona 5
- The Witness
- FFXIV Heavensward
- Bayoentta
- East of West
- The Get Down Part 2
- Better Call Saul Season 3
Because those are the things standing between me and watching more anime right now.
Pop Team Epic is going to be AotY, calling it now.

No. Perhaps you're thinking of FLCL 2.
Motohiro? Isn't he just working on Atom and then doing the FLCL 2 stuff?
I'm also not sure how involved Shiotani actually was in the second season considering he would have been busy largely with the movie at IG.

All right, I'm on board. This was honestly pretty enjoyable.
I like the comradery shown with this band of space thieves and the fact that they all hang out in their mechas even in non-action scenes.

Preach it.
I'll just say it's cool, but no Nier Automata. Then again, few things are right now.

Ah, life's simple when you lack the money to buy/play everything.

Can't wait for another season with everyone drooling over the egg-headed bald super-hero bored with life because he's too strong. Wow, AOTY; it's amazing, hype! Can't wait!

BEYBLADE BURST Episode 24 Full Strength, for Real!
Valt v Honcho was the best of this episode, the full powered rush with the awakened Valtyrek combined with the marvelous lightning effects made it one of the most impressive burst finishes ever. Second match made me feel like Burst Finish is an unfair way to win, battles can be over in mere seconds because of it...Imagine training for weeks only to lose in mere seconds...

If we can't laugh at ourselves, what can we laugh at?

It's probably still my favorite ED since it came out.
