Kuroshitsuji is back? Hold me GAF.

Pyscho Pass New Edit first half of episode 1

it really will depend on how well this is handled and written... based upon how the first episode mishandled the rape victim and the vast amount of negative comments I've seen about the series... I doubt it'll happen

I thought Psycho Pass was really good. I read the GAF thread which had some more negative comments towards the end, but I didn't agree at all. And if you go on myanimelist the impressions for the series are mostly positive.

I hope someone's going to compile all the new scenes.

 

[Chariot]

Kuroshitsuji is back? Hold me GAF.

And it's glorious. Nice original starting episode to get those who don't know much about Black Butler and adaption the best arc from the manga. I also love the Ending.

Not the best way to indicate a show's quality!

 

[cajunator]

Stock footage is a helpful way to stay within budget for a long TV series. I have no problem with it at all.

Is there even a best way? Besides forming your opinion after watching of course.

Revolutionary Girl Utena 2

That OP song is so good, haven't gotten more information about the student council, I can just say that the red haired guy is annoying with those dumb lines he spews. The whole rose bride concept is kind of stupid, but oh well. Also seems we get a mascot character. Yay Yay! I hate mascots except Nyanko-sensei.

I really like the exchanges between these two whoever they may be. The reusing of the footage is a bummer. However, the song played when going up the stairs makes up for it. Biggest problem is the random rose showing up making it seem like they're censoring something. Is that supposed to be an artistic choice? What the hell could they be censoring!

Everybody knows that the single opnion AnimeGAF holds is the only truth.

MyAnimeList is pretty popular and has a lot of people, with a lot of idiots among them, but the toplist and the most top rated reviews are fairly reasonable. Just dodge the forums and you should be fine. I discovered a lot of shows I grew to like by browsing the Top List.

Recommendation are hillarious shit, tho.

edit:

Some recommendations for those who liked Psycho-Pass

Girls und Panzer - Anzio OVA

Mmmmm. Good stuff. This is perfect material for an OVA - whimsical, fun, action packed, and filled with food porn. Sooo much food. The cooking animation in the spy video was pretty great too. I already had lunch, so it didn't make me hungry, but now I don't know what I want to dinner! @_@

It's great to see that the show still has all the charm I loved in the TV series. Can't wait for the movie!

Yeah the toplists are pretty reasonable. I watched Kara no Kyoukai because of it. However, them forums/recommendations are pretty bad.

No Game No Life, the twentieth best anime of all time.

No Game No Life, the twentieth best anime of all time.

lol seriously I haven't checked it in a long ass time, and kind of scared too.

Edit: It's not even that bad. A lot of shows should be higher/on their, but still reasonable.

 

[jgminto]

Mushishi 2 8
A kind of sad story overall. A young man is starting to get his life in order and then the mushi ruin the ship he was on robbing him of his pay and followed him home and make his mother ill. And it was his fault even if it wasn't intentional. Got to feel for the guy

I thought that was the weakest story of season 2. His motivations for his later actions in the episodes just felt ridiculous. They were unreasonable for what we'd seen him go through and the shallow exploration of his family relationship didn't help. It may have meant to show the irrational attitude of youth but it didn't feel earned.

 

[Chariot]

No Game No Life, the twentieth best anime of all time.

Will sink after a while. Most newer shows starts higher.
Also: I think NGNL is great.

But I am sure others find problems with the list too - since it's not a ultimate truth but the opnions of many. And the fact that we have FMA and Legend of the Galactic Heroes in the Top 10 and not Naruto or K-ON, is something I find failry reasonable.

But Fullmetal Alchemist isn't even in the top 100.

Invaders of the Rokujyōma! - amused by the setup. That ghost is no nananana though.

Are you just nitpicking? I mean FMA:B which is ... pretty high in the ranking.

Yeah. I really liked harmonie. Would have watched more if available.

Which I find useful. Same as getting lists of works of a genre I'm interested in that probably are worth checking out.

I don't really have a problem with the collective anime community. MAL is a decent rule of thumb for me, but not the be all end all. I like a lot of the anime on its top lists.

My earlier point was just to say that lots of people liked Psycho Pass. It doesn't have negative impressions across the board.

Top ranking chart wouldn't have perfect placement pick by pick, as long the list have some legit great title I won't bothered by their # in the chart.

persona... so sweet!
the game was an anime-like game rpg...
the anime... is a blissfull experience, hearing the line so dear, the character so fun..
I LOVE persona in general, but the 4th game.... *_*
so many expectations for persona 5...

Instead of worrying about MAL, just watch what I tell you to watch, you can't go wrong!

Here's what you should watch first

 

[UltraGunner]

Tokyo Ghoul 02

This show so far seems pretty by the numbers in terms of premise (such and such supernatural thing walks among us) but I can appreciate the good animation. That is if it wasn't so egregiously censored for fear of the standard anime blood shower =/

Some great scenes that didn't make it to TV show proper especially Koto, A and Un wrecking havoc around city. Judging by the retcon of Aramata's origin they changed the messed with the original plot too. Happy that I didn't watch it in its entirety before as they spoil lots from first 6-7 episodes. Also [(spoilers for episode 6,7)Probably/MaybeNSFW] another casualty of war on lewd it seems.

Girls und Panzer 3-4

This was pretty good and quite a few funny moments. (That pointblank miss

) Bringing Churchill to fight all those pre-43 tanks seems like cheating though. Those pesky, tea gobbling, red uniformed Brits !

Cheese aside, this is fun to watch. Blurays are gonna be great too.

「山賊の娘ローニャ」 予告動画 - YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsYWw0AzMAs

First look at their upcoming TV series Ronia The Robber’s Daughter.

I don't get the hype around GuP. Teenage girls driving tanks.....like what. Is it just a moe girls show with a twist?

Not a problem with a specific concept like that when it is this well accomplished. This series brings for each girl a simple tone personality-wise but because of that a very characteristic behaviour that foments inspired interplay between them at the same time, which results in an energetic ensemble cast handled on a top-notch manner!

Come with us and enjoy the festival, Ōarai's 'BLUE-HAWKS style'!

No, you didn't. The GuP OVAs are hillarious. How many anime reference Monthy Phyton?

Certainly nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition to appear in Mobile Suit Patlabor...

Maybe it's one guy just messing everything up.

Continuity errors are a problem to be spotted, corrected (or returned to the key animator) by the animation director, or if not tackled earlier in the work chain then by the episode director... poor animator already does too much too fast if wants to survive that month!

I blame the Western media who kept describing Ghibli as the Disney of Japan. Of course that would lead them to CG much like Disney.
