OHHHHH I GET IT.
Psycho-Pass 'New Edit Version' Episode 1:
Made it about half way through this piece of shit before stopping the video in utter contempt and disgust. I had heard this program was stupid and poorly written but I wasn't expecting utter contempt from my intelligence. No, this was downright offensive
Seriously, this one had my blood boiling and I wish this show had not gotten re-edited but cancelled after one episode and thrown into the deepest parts of the fucking ocean.

in trying to get me to believe that any sort of competent society is that slavishly devoted to a computer program's simplistic views on judgement that they are going to label an obviously traumatized rape victim as a dangerous criminal.

Sell me on it. What's it about?
I knew that thanks to Bakemonogatari, but I was confused by your first post containing nothing that would lead to this. Spontanous I would say because this charactertype appears more commonly in all-girls or at least girl dominated shows.

It's pretty much X-men. People with powers, discrimination against said power people, stuff like that. Despite the standard premise, it is very well-executed and has fun characters and fights. Main character is a girl that can phase through stuff.
Penguins are in it as is Yoda.

I guess since they're usually portrayed as protected, rarely get outside much and frequently go to all-girls schools at some point in their lives(this is huge) with very little interactions with males besides their butlers and fathers.
At least that is my stab in the dark.

Well, the manga is in part 2 right now. I imagine the anime would cover all of part 1 provided it's more than 1 cours.

Terror in Resonance 1
Wow that was really impressive, absolutely blew me away pretty much nailed everything. Pacing, tension, characters, music, art, and animation Wantabe shows he truly is the master of his craft. In some ways the main characters remind me a bit of Johan from monster with there
though I think like with Johan
Summer of anime just got even better and Terror in Resonance is by far the best first episode this season.

tragic back story that twisted them into what they are now
we're not meant to root for them, perhaps take pity on them but they are clearly the bad guys in the present day story even if they were victims in the past.

Persona 4 Golden 1
oh man, I love this show already. But I've been a Persona fan forever, so it goes without saying that I'd like it. I did find it a bit odd how they rolled the credits way early, then had more show afterword. Also Marie <3 <3 <3
Does anyone know what that song is that's playing around 14:50? And would it be on the Persona 4, or Persona 4 Golden soundtracks? Or on an upcoming OST for the anime?
I wasn't thrilled at all with episode 1 of GlassLip. It felt like a chore for me to watch it. Will episode 2 change my mind?

For me the "let's invert the colors" was even worse. Yeah you could see what it happened but it came from nowhere and made the censure feel pathetic.

So people who saw the new psycho pass how does it compare to the original version? Basically the same? Better? Worse?

Why bother to air something like this on TV if you can't even show anything? If you know your series is going to get censored to hell at least have an uncut version online or pull a Sailor Moon Crystal and only air the series online uncut.
Syfy bullshit. Gotta love it.

Indeed, for the record, I get what the point they were going for is, getting cartoonishly beaten over the head with bad taste is not thought provoking.

I think unless someone told one the edits, theyd be unable to tell. It also feels visually more polished for an airing, but if someone watched the bd version, then perhaps there is no difference. Lastly it feels as if there is either new music or different music used in some scenes.
Its my fourth time watching psycho pass but some scenes are still as compelling as they were the first go around.
While they can to a degree be discussed academically, theres always going to be some bias one way or the other. Even great works of classical literature in schools has some really stupid stories and plotlines in it to some people. Nothing is perfect and incapable of being criticized. A lot of times I will watch a show and enjoy it even if a lot of people hate something in it because it just clicked with me. It might even be terrible but if I like it, I like it. And its not just because of cuteness. I enjoyed Kaze no Yojimbo for example, and NOBODY talks about that show and probably few even know it exists.
So far Ive only seen a few but I really loved Nozaki kun and Hanayamata so far.
Hanayamata is BEAUTIFUL.
Agreed. The list is one thing, but even then thats for entertainment sake, even if its bad entertainment. Never force yourself to watch something you loathe completely. whats the point in that? Like right now Im slogging through Sailor Moon R agonizingly because I want to get to S. Ive only made it 4 episodes but its such a drag of a season.
Fate Stay in the kitchen is kind of the defacto name animegaf has given it. I kinda like it.
Is there really no hope that ufotable's version of FS/N might be enjoyable to someone who liked FS/Z? I want to go into FS/N hype (since I know nothing about it but thought FS/Z was great) but its hard to have a hype boner when everybody says expect it to be super shit
I think theres hope, but the problem is Shirou and the other mages in this one are younger and angsty because of it. In FZ they were mostly full grown adults and out of the whiny insecure phase and they knew what they wanted and how to get it. In FSN, you have a bunch of basically teenagers doing the stupid things teenagers do.
Terror in Resonance 01
A lot of the scenes just don't feel like they're able to draw to anything conclusive, so most of them kind of just feel lacking. What is the resolution to the scene with Lisa getting bullied by the pool? It's hard to feel like there's an emotion to draw from these kinds of scenes because every character is a flat surface and we don't get any insight into their emotions outside of some lame and jarring dream sequence.
Most of the supernatural elements are a complete turn off, and it's easy to see the show will continue to hide behind fuzzy abilities and powers to justify pushing the plot along. As it was most of this episode felt like pushed along plot points that serve only terroristic set pieces and some dumb mystery about fake high school kids.
Character art is beyond terrible too, which only becomes more noticeable against these really well lit backgrounds.
There's stuff going on here that seems cool but it's just not clicking with me. For as flashy as the introduction sequence is there's not a lot of tension or even relevance to it all, even by the end of the episode. There's no real understanding of how the heist was set up or why it'd be impressive or what meaning it even has.

Just for a laugh, this is how terrible the censoring in episode 2 of Tokyo Ghoul got:
I'm not sure if they are censoring the gore or the animation quality
Maybe they thought the viewers wouldn't be able to handle the gore. They will probably remove the censoring from the BDs.

What? What supernatural elements? What are you talking about? You mean the dream sequence? The only thing that you could even remotely consider super natural was the girls ability to jump from the 4th floor of a building into the arms of a guy and be perfectly okay.
Argevollen 2
Not as boring as episode 1 so it has slightly redeemed itself. Seeing Jamie having trouble saying "Argevollen" was kinda cute. It's kinda cool seeing the enemy's POV for a scene instead of our hero's the entire time. Congrats to Tokimune for

Probably the flashback thing.
Although you'd have to reach to call that supernatural, I have little doubts that something like that will probably be introduced.

Aldnoah Zero Episode 1
That was a pretty great episode, visuals were stunning and the OST wasn't bad. It may have had a lot of exposition and talking, but it did show potential. The MC seems bland as brick I hope we find out why. I hope we get Mech battles soon. Yeah there's definitely gonna be a lots of deaths coming from this anime. I also feel that the

Excellent! My watch list is starting to get a bit crowded anyway.
Terror In Resonance spoilers:
When Lisa is holding the bomb the ability to lead her by the the number of neccesary steps is a sign of omnipotence, the most math wizard shit to ever exist, or our writer being a hack? Then we have to ask how things happened without our characters taking part in them. Is the power cut because there are other cohorts (this would be pretty shit writing), because the main characters can be in multiple places at once, because they can predict the future, or because l;kjasdfwhopwel;kjsldfkkkk who cares? There will be supernatural shit in this show or it would be even stupider.
Isn't it Tokidoki from Amatsuki?
It could be explained by the both of them having a photographic memory as hinted when Twelve was recalling the names of girls in other classes.

If there is a big group supporting them I would have much less problems with a good number of parts of the writing, but I don't know if they will follow that path.

Or
The main character clearly being incredibly intelligent and having the entire building lay out memorized planned for this attack. Again they're clearly going for a Monster vibe in how the two boys became different same a Johan from that series. If the main character really had the magic powers you claim he did he wouldn't need to ask her where in the building she was. You can call it hack writing all you want but if this goes down a similar path to Monster which a lot of signs point to it really can be explained as "the main character is a tortured/mad genius and knew the whole building lay out down to a t"
