Interest dropping to new lows.
The fights didn't seem to great when I was reading it, and honestly I didn't want it to go that direction. Guess I'll just let it stay dropped.

Well that just unsold me. I hate it when anime/manga do that to me.
The sakugas seem effing great from the trailer tho, that where the interest comes, who knows if its pulling Code:Breaker.

Well my interest just took a complete nosedive. I mean if its entertaining whatever, but I've was really hoping it was an at-least okay horror story.
Yama no Susume
Lol nope, there's no horror story what so ever. Just cool masks, and fights for the most part. It holds the number 1 spot on my to watch list.
There is actually a lot interesting things, depending on what you like and you watched (a lot of the interseting stuff are sequels).
I've read the Tokyo ESP manga and liked it very much. maybe you'll like it too.

Episode 5 was the best for me, episode stuck with me throughout the rest of the season.
Although overall I agree that the later half of the show was much better.
Then is there anything with lots of loli and/or gore? I also like shows that are so bad that they're fun to watch.

The trailer had action all right, but there is a difference between having action in a series, and
fertygo said:
Barakamon, fate/kaleid liner, Yana no Susume 2, sword art online II and Tokyo Ghoul looks like what you want to be watching.
If you need to tide over your dying loli thirst you shoud check out Black Bullet from the Spring.
Well you can cross off SAO and Tokyo Ghoul since I won't bother with those. I'll check out the rest though. Also, I totally forgot that the illya show was getting another season. I'm definitely gonna enjoy that.
heh

I'll still give it a chance.
Wtf am I doing with my life
I already watched that. So bad yet so... well just bad. But I did enjoy the ride...mostly...
What's with all these new shows that have such strong and promising first arcs only to fall flat on their asses.
Dat OP.. I'm back to the Anipike and Geocities days
Anipike still exists! Unfortunately they updated the look.
Hnnnnnngh
I suppose so.
I dont remember but probably also cajunator
Isn't that just how most anime are?
Yeah a lot start out strong but end strangely or ambiguously. Japanese stories tend to prefer ambiguous or unresolved endings it seems like.
GREAT OP, madp - loving the throwback.
The only show I'm definitely going to watch is Terror in Resonance, but there's a surprising number of shows that I might give a glance over. Normally Summer's a bit of a barren season but it doesn't seem too bad this year.
Of course, I will completely fail to watch anything, because that's how I roll with anime these days

That Rosalina thread is killing me. The Waluigi picture loooool.
Such depressing truth.
Such depressing truth.
All the action series I watch/read are battle shounen.
I get bad endings. I love nice boats. But ambiguous/unresolved are just the worst. The problem is though, even when the endings aren't unresolved japanese writers seem to prefer the worst endings possible. Especially when a harem is involved. I'm talking about how they choose the worst girl every single time.

5 was an episode that could have been near the upper tier for me. I think its use of montages undercut the bond being formed between Dandy and Adélie, which made the ending feel unearned and formulaic. Also, I get that Dandy is a buffoon, but his handling of sneaking out to
try to find her grandfather
Naru sucked! But I'll concede that since she wasn't the worst. And Chitoge won't win. She's also not even the best character! btw The worst girl is Onodera.

I know, I saw no one talking about it in the last thread (may have missed it though). Probably the show I'm most looking forward to now, next to Rail Wars.

I can only agree. I'm always getting upset about the worst girl thing and I still can't stop watchting this filthy shows.
Character exploration is still consistently well done, it only makes sense that as
the story progresses, with Kaneki becoming more involved with the world of ghouls that the stakes are higher.
The worst part about harems these days is there is no clear winner spelt out in the beginning. It's just a big ol' jerk around. Nisekoi was pretty interesting as an anime but since I started reading the manga it's been nothing except disappointment.
Edit: trying to have a serious conversation about harems pretty much means I need to go to bed.
That's exactly how anime is! It's such terrible vile crap and even though we know it, we can't stop watching.
I feel your pain. Although, I like how there's no clear winner in the beginning. It makes the audience become more attached to different characters.

They are very bad but its readable. The original writing is equally UGH though.

Untrue. Now, the guy is usually worse!
Why are you hating everything?
Isn't it because people often have a really good idea to start with (hence why they wrote it down in the first place) and it gains popularity so the publishers demand more so the writer has to come up with more despite not necessarily having any new good ideas so they just write whatever to appease the demand.
It's why in Britain many shows are so short because the writers have enough power to call it a day no matter the popularity.
We solved harems. Let's wrap it up. We did it.

If I watch a harem I prefer there to be no clear winner when it starts.
When you have crap like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo when one girl is so clearly going to win it takes all the enjoyment out of it because it just becomes about watching the other girl or girls fall over themselves.
I think it sometimes has To do with manga runs often still ongoing with no obvious outcome. Also, some shows just end in some way that doesnt resolve everything like the viewer would like. I honestly think western stories have neater more satisfying resolutions.
Yeah sometimes its REALLY aggravating. Especially when you get very invested in a series and you could see the perfect way to end it, but the story does something that diminishes the effect or emotion.
I wish that happened more often.
The most satisfying resolution for me from a longer running series has to be Inu Yasha.
