Three...at the most. Not the highest bar.
I am not going to get super excited for it after Nise.

I guess if you're a girl some of these shows are pretty good. I don't understand otherwise. Like this C3 anime, I couldn't finish the first episode even if I tried. There are a lot of girly shows this season and not much original, either.
lol what the fuck?

What are you watching?
To be honest, I think only four anime are exciting to me to actually want to watch (Senyu, Free, Makai Ouji, Blood Lad)..everything simulcast so far is just not for me, so Ive been digging in my backlog for stuff, and just rewatching. Sometimes I wish I could enjoy all these other shows
Feels like almost everything, Free included.

Just wait for the big 3 of this summer to roll out then the judgement can be made. With big contenders like Blood Lad, Watashi, and Silver Spoon (just my personal favs at least) still not shown theirs still some hope left. I know these are the 3 anime I had my hopes on the most.
For starters though, it has been pretty bad. So far I'm only going to watch Dog & Scissors and my regular long running shows like Hxh and One Piece. If those 3 shows fail then I've lost hope on this season.

Hey hey! I'm not a girl!
originality is overrated because people don't know what it is sometimes
Hold. The. Fuck. On. Dude.
that shit has no place here. People can enjoy anime from either gender. It matters not a whit.
The fuck is this nonsense. Enjoy your Free, bro.
From Viz's Neon Alley panel, they're finally going to release the service on Mac and PC -- no longer just on game consoles.
Also they seem to be adding some sort of on-demand catchup feature if you missed an episode at its scheduled time. Not sure exactly what that entails.

The irony being that most of these "girly" shows are actually aimed at males.

I don't think he knows that.
Having girls in anime is like having cooties

Well she does have tiny feet, but I've never asked.
I feel like the service would feel even more out of place on PC...where it just emulates a really outdated television format. But uh, more options are neat I guess?

Danganronpa is pretty similar to the game. I'm not saying it's great or anything, but it's watchable.
But girly shows are for boys...
It's the shows full of men that are for girls. And DTL.

This is the expected episode where things from Index are merging ..so there is nothing special there. Still , i liked it.
But there is really nothing special to tell about this episode.

Precisely.
Whew, finally back home. That felt like a long and depressingly anime-free day. Went straight from work to a friend's birthday celebrations, which took up the entire evening and I didn't get back until...well, now, which is 4:20 AM.
Feeling pretty tired, so I'll probably sleep soon, but I'll see if I can't fit in an anime episode or two before then =D

I posted this in the One Piece thread:
I totally missed this update last week: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/fujitv/news/pub_2013/130626-264.html
There are two tiny screens for Episode of Merry, but more importantly there are more details about it.
Length:
It's going to air from 9pm to 11:10pm on Aug 24, so excluding ads, the runtime should be about 100mins.
Story:
The narrative frame actually starts in the current story point in The New World. Franky is testing out the Mini Merry 2, and Ussop, Chopper, and Brook are helping him with the tests. During the test Brook asks about the name "Mini Merry" since he joined after they changed ships, and didn't know about the Going Merry. The rest of the story is Ussop recounting the origins of the name, and telling the story of the ship which carried them through the first half of their journey. Sounds like it's going to be fucking great.
Staff:
Director - Katsumi Tokoro (Episode of Nami)
Script - Hirohiko Uesaka (Episode of Nami, Strong World)
Character Design - Eisaku Inoue (Episode of Alabasta)
Sub Character Design - Yukiko Nakatani (Episode of Nami)
Chief Animation Director - Eisaku Inoue (Episode of Alabasta)
Animation Directors - Yukiko Nakatani (Episode of Nami), Ippei Ichii
I looooooooooved Episode of Nami, so I definitely hope this lives up to it.

Was Episode of Nami good? I didn't watch it for some reason. When does Silver Spoon air, by the way? I thought it was supposed to air at the end of last month.

Hope all those people mean it will not be another Hand Island Adventure...
Eheh, much as I'd like to, I think the three first episodes from yesterday that I haven't got around to yet are higher on my list of priorities right now. Gotta check out the new series so I know whose opinions to disapprove of =p

Episode of Nami I haven't seen yet but I'm dying to watch it. I'm ashamed to call myself a One Piece fan and haven't seen it yet, might watch it in a little while though.
Silver Spoon in the OP says it airs on Thursday of next week so we'll probably see it on Friday.
Gifu Dodo will once more cast its long necked shadow over the thread before long.
Yeah, it was pretty good. Better than slogging through the tv series.

Love Lab 1
What we have here is a Sakuga display of a budding relationship between two girls. A Smart yet.... not smart girl, and Fanged McBadgirlton, and the latters potential look into girls.
What I watched gives me the feeling that it'll be like the soft feel of women's skin on a woman's hand. Elegant and loving at the same time. I'm keeping my eye out for this one.

Also Viz picks up the simulcast for Blood Lad. Sundays on Hulu.
CORRECTION: They have the full license, including home media. Also will be on Neon Alley sometime next year.

This too.
Cute girl talk shows get bought by a lot of otaku males. It would actually be interesting to see the demographic breakdown of different shows.

You wanted Sentai...whom has been known to not include OVA's and have numerous issues with their BDs to get it?
Danganronpa - 01
I was somewhat underwhelmed by this, but it's still a pretty interesting start. I liked the art style and the general setup of the story, at least, although I'm pretty indifferent towards the production values. I'll give it a few more episodes.
C3-bu - 01
This, I had a lot of fun with. The first half had me chuckle and smile a lot more than I expected, given some of the other impressions in this thread, and the eventual battle scene mixed with the music was just icing. It didn't look too bad on the technical side, either. Also, everyone on this show is lovely, it's hard to choose favorites. XD
This one's a definite keeper, so far. c:
