THANK YOU UMI I CAN BUY GUP BD NOW
It's up there for sure. Both the song and the visuals are great! There's still some stuff left to debut, though.
Damn this seem effective, tell me one for finals pls
How you can win normal bet from pen shootout tho
I feel the only anime that's left to debut and may hold a competition is Terror in Resonance.
No one liked my GAF-tan designs boo hoo hoo
The Opening of Barakamon is so wonderful. It's rare to find Openings that evoke emotions and that's what I feel Barakamon does so very well. It evokes an heart-warming feeling that makes you smile. The way it blends the music, visuals, and characters is brilliantly done. Opening itself is the top of the season. What are your thoughts Animegaf, top of the season for openings.

So Good.
The Terror in Resonance OP song is pretty catchy. Didn't think much of it when I heard it the first time, but I've been humming it lately. As I said in my impressions, I think the ED is the star of the show though.
So I've been waiting for a good chance to rewatch this. It finally showed up, so...
Digimon Adventure: 01
First episode's rather quick and easy, to be honest. Introduces the characters, establishes the premise, and what kind of things to expect. Good start to the series overall.
I've of course watched Digimon back when it aired on Fox Kids in the US. Obviously, I might slip in an English name or two subconsciously, but I'm gonna try to stick to the language I'm watching.
And yes, I currently plan to watch through at least the 4th season.
Everybody keeps making games that I would make!
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 3
It's hard not to look at Kill La Kill now and notice how obvious the change of plans midway through the show is, and as someone who actually enjoyed KLK a fair amount, how much that show pales in comparison to TTGL.
I hate to be the one to say this, but I think an obvious cause for many of Kill La Kill's problems is actually Inferno Cop. Or rather, I think a lot of things in KLK happened because Inferno Cop happened and was met with such approval.
Consider: The opening of TTGL is in many ways as hyper as the opening of KLK, but the former also slows itself down considerably to spend time developing Simon and Kamina's relationship, while I don't feel that KLK does for Ryuuko. The hyper, nonstop energy of KLK reminds me of the kinds of gags in Inferno Cop, the whole sense of humor of the show does, really. Note, for instance, the way battles are frequently interrupted in KLK for comedic breaks, or how some characters, specifically Nui, do that strange flat-mode thing, as if to evoke Inferno Cop's own flat-motion. I think that in Inferno Cop the sense of humor worked, but when translated into a show like KLK it either wasn't what people wanted, or didn't work. For what it's worth, though, the humor in KLK is still a step above the humor in Panty and Stocking.
But I mean, Gurren Lagann is also a funny show, it's just that the way it goes about its humor seems less in your face than KLK. Which is perhaps the most bizarre thing for a show like Gurren Lagann, where being over the top is the soup du jour. An example of what I mean is that in this episode, when facing Viral, Kamina unsheathes his blade, and as a visual gag he never finishes doing so. The sword's blade goes on seemingly forever. Another show might feel the need to take this joke too far and call attention to it, but Gurren Lagann relies instead upon the belief that the sight gag is funny enough that it doesn't need to bludgeon you with it.
I don't mean to rave about how much better than other shows Gurren Lagann is, nor how I think it's some phenomenal masterpiece, though I do think the show manages quite nicely to be a rare piece where everything lines up in just the way it needs to. Nor do I want to leave the impression that Gurren Lagann is perfect and without flaw. I just think it's worth appreciating that Gurren Lagann is a show into which significant thought and patience went, whereas I feel like Kill La Kill suffers both from a less confident vision and a less structured sense of humor, the latter being the product of Inferno Cop's existence.
Wait does Barakamon air on Saturday or Sunday.
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun 1
First, can I just say how much I love the OP? I think hosanna might have mentioned it in response to a PV or something, but the horns and the doo-wop backup vocals just make my day when I hear them. It's very fun and breezy.
As for the show itself, I didn't like this episode as much as Love Lab's pilot, it still has shots of Dogakobo's trademark energy. I really like how Sakura moved as she agonized in her head, or how she dashed up the stairs to confirm Nozaki-kun's identity. And watching the two of them try to iterate on shoujo manga ideas reminded me of the love research in Love Lab.
Unfortunately, I felt like a few jokes kind of dragged. In particular, the setup for her final failed confession felt like it went on forever. I like how grounded most of the humor is (that first bike ride is kind of delightful), so we'll see how it evolves as the show progresses.
It's good all in all, and I can stick with it for now.
I guess that's up to one's own taste! It's a good opening, but probably not my favorite of the season. It's extremely reminiscent of the Kids on the Slope opening.Is the Opening top of the season material.
This show Im very much looking forward to!
I feel the same. Such a fun show to watch already! Sakura is super adorable and the chemistry is spot on. I will highly enjoy watching this through the season.
I feel the only anime that's left to debut and may hold a competition is Terror in Resonance. Unless I'm mistaken.
Theres the new Monogatari installment.
Ranma 1/2 13
Kinda wish martial arts gymnastics was a real thing now.
I thought it was delayed.
Time to find out what's worth watching today
I heard that Kirito, Tatsuya, and Kira topped the 1-3 spot on the Newtype Male Rankings. Save us.
Is Barakamon crunchy in the US? I don't get it from AU... :T
That ruled. We watched this in our hotel room at AX this year. Didn't regret it.
Holy fucking shit looking at what came out today, I'm interested in jack shit. 3 days in a row I can't give a fuck about a show to put the effort to watch it. Is this season only going to be a weekend thing for me? We'll find out tomorrow.
