Hagure Yuusha no Estetica 2
Bodies being defiled, hot lesbian sex in the equipment closet, girls peeing themselves. What is this, hentai?
Well whatever it is, I approve.

Shame it looks like it got the same budget as your average korean farmed hentai.


Sword Art Online 1

I approve of our protagonist's monitor count.

Shame he rather play games with his microwave helmet than his nice setup.

Let's not be naive, there's no way that Eru is so sheltered and innocent that she'd leave photos like that lying around if she didn't want someone to look at them.

Her true nature will be revealed before the end of the show, I'm sure.
All she'd discover is that Oreki is a dull as he appears.
 
I don't think that a single series has ever had a "protagonist-kun's loser herbivore bros freak out because he suddenly has a sexy girlfriend" scene and ended up good afterward. It's really the biggest warning sign there is.(

High School DxD. I also think Sora no Otoshimono did it, but I'm not sure (and I haven't seen the anime).

Kokoro Connect 02:

I was seriously a minute or so from dropping the show but then the
creepy Gotou-sensei
scene happened. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

Now that I can kind of tell who is in who's body by the personality, this will be a much easier watch. This episode did a far better job defining the characters, and while they're nothing particularly special, enough fun things are being done with the body swap premise to keep my interest for now.

Mmm it seems I'm officially caught up with my Spring backlog. Binbougami ga and Arcana Famiglia look funny. Anything else that's good and not inherently trash?

I liked that scene but wished so much hadn't been explained.

Yeah, I would have preferred the nature of the phenomenon to ultimately remain a mystery, but what happened was just such a severe departure from the standard bubblegum high school stuff that I can't help but welcome the development and whatever else it ends up entailing. I pretty much need shows that are heavily reliant on otaku-friendly elements not to be played entirely straight in order to enjoy them, and Kokoro Connect was the last series that I would ever expect to deliver in that regard. I'm pleased.

Mmm it seems I'm officially caught up with my Spring backlog. Binbougami ga and Arcana Famiglia look funny. Anything else that's good and not inherently stupid?

You really, really don't want to watch Arcana Famiglia. It's not a comedy, and if part of your interest is due to S-class zettai ryouiki/twintails girl, she doesn't feature all that prominently (even though she's the protagonist). I guess I'll recommend to you what I recommend to everyone else: Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Joshiraku.

Bjergsen is the greatest midlane in the world
I feel like the writing has steadily improved throughout the show, with episode six being the sole aberration. This festival arc has definitely taken it to a new level, and it helps that KyoAni is bringing it big time in terms of production value.
I'll catch up on the stuff I missed.

Arcana Famiglia is really not good. It fools you into thinking it will be a fujoshi bait tournament battle series, and then proceeds to be about absolutely nothing.

There's also Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai. Yeah, it's trashy, but it's good trash. The kind of trash that would taste great with a little bit of honey mustard.

We have a word in Spanish for the type of player Main Dude is. That word is pecho frío.

I should remember these are supposed to be kids whenever I see some egregious keeping errors. My God, that was gonna give me a heart attack.

Rinne no Lagrange S2 02:

The hell is up with the chairs at Novumundus? That's not even really a chair, more like an ass stabilizer.

It feels a bit anticlimactic that after an entire season of mystery,
the nature of the conflict between Le Garite and De Metrio is straightfowardly explained in about ten seconds. Furthermore, the show places strong, enigmatic personalities at the head of each faction, sets up the whole dispute over Yurikano in the first season, and the conflict ends up being something totally impersonal?
Really? I suppose that I should be thankful that the show has upped its yuri quotient considerably because the plot is beginning to lose its luster for me. I fully realize that there had to be some sort of definitive revelation at some point so that things can begin to resolve, but I was expecting more than just this.

Also, why did they fuck with the ED? They used a different verse of the song this week, but the ED was very, very clearly designed for the verse of the song used in last week's ED. Now none of the Kamogawa Energy imagery makes sense, the choreography is off, and it just plain sounds worse. I hope that this isn't permanent, otherwise downgrade total.

(slightly NSFW?) Was Lan's suit ever this...err...detailed in the first season?

Dusk Maiden and Acchi Kocchi :(
 
Its a list of people with refined gentlemanly (and lady-like) taste who you should always never listen too.

Huhuhu~

Well, that's not entirely true. I watched Dusk Maiden because Jex said it was good last season, and it turned out that it was. B-but don't get the wrong idea! I-it's not as if I wanted to or anything! It c-couldn't be helped!

Looks more like Hyouka has taken the throne from Nyarko.

42 and on the moustache list. very proud of myself.

A lot can change in half a year!
I think you're still in safe moustache territory.

I wonder if cosmic has another one of these lists in the works. More than being out of date, the old one is full of old posters that have abandoned AnimeGAF, hah.

5 episodes in Monster, hope this gets more interesting.

Is this thread only to discuss the new 2012 anime? Havent seen a general anime thread :p

Nope, this thread is for anything and everything. We just use the OPs to advertise what's currently airing.

edit: way to steal what I'm going to say before I even say it, Chet
