Man since Akame ga Kill got animated they really should animate, Yamada and the Seven Witches. I mean it's getting a OVA so maybe it will get animated. And if it does I'll be so happy.
 
Yukihama chapter was intresting and the "rival" chapter were a nice change of pace.
Book 9 & 10 were nicely written IMO, complete with the forshadowing and the holy shit moments.
It's just a shame that ..

Well it's enough to make me want more FMP animated.


The anime has the same director as Fuffumo and The Second Raid too. So it's like we're getting more FMP but it isn't FMP.

This is a good recipe for us , i'm just hoping this one sells .

Some show with cuties in it apparently comes out today with a very similar art style to NGNL.

Sabagebu!/Survival Game Club: 01

That... was great! Despite my current aversion to firearms, this was like gun porn to me, trying to identify everything in sight. I love that it's totally not bothering to take itself seriously. Probably the most impressive first episode to me so far.

I do love my gun porn. I have no such aversion to firearms either.
If its more fun than c3bu Im all in.

Oh my god the night terrors are starting again!

Night terrors are no joke :(
Theres a reason theyre called that.

Duckroll said it'd be a while before other mods and threads got to the same level but I'd argue this thread is more notorious for off hand random perverted stuff. I don't go much outside gaming side and this thread though.

Ive seen a lot of stuff thats pushing the limit elsewhere.

And you summarize what I wanted to say by just using a picture.

Gonna check out Aldnoah Zero right now since some of the impressions have been positive, but then I'm gonna start a new anime for myself to watch over time. Gonna be a hard decision so I'm gonna check out the first episodes of both Fate/Zero and Idolm@ster and make my choice from there.

Yeah for Fate/Zero you're going to have to get through that exposition that put off a lot of people I know off, but it's worth it.

I'll be writing up my review for The Sunlit Garden 2-parter soon but given some of the things in it, along with my experience with Penguindrum, I can already see this show is going to take me places....

Well, the humor's starting out stronger this episode.

Tomoya alone with a girl. Takes a nap. This man gives no fucks.

Are we going down the Kyou route now?

Too soon.

Saying he would never get tired of eating it? Doesn't that count as a marriage proposal in anime?

The romance is getting pretty thick in here.

Random CG butterflies.

Did...did I just do shrooms or something?

Another new girl?

Bringing a cat to Kotomi's violin recital? Seems dangerous.

Oh god, the recital. Brilliant.

And here's the drama for this arc. He even wears a fedora.
 
Bonta-kun spotted !
Interest rising !

The tears.. the fact that the rakan Vs negi fight won't ever be animated is so disapointing.
At least i can hope that a decent studio will animate UQ HOLDER.


What Disapearance was awesome.
And after that there are some awesome stupid things to happen in the books they have left to animate.



Now you've got my full attention.

How is UQ holder? Never got around to read that. Is it just pure shounen?

I was extremely happy with how Haruhi ended with Disappearance. I don't want to hear that there are other sections worth animating.
 
You know as much crap as we give death shot in sao2 for having such a hilarious design and name we have to remember this is supposed to be an mmo. Most people want to make the coolest looking guy even if it ends up being hilariously not so. The fact he isn't called xXxNinjaDeathKiller657xXx is a blessing in disguise.

Though if he ends up being an edgy 12 year old terrorist then awesome.

The Gun Gale mmo totally ripped off Diablo 2. No respecs, strength requirements, possible heart failures from too much playing.
 
Personally, I'm not too bothered by DEATH GUN. We've all had our shitty internet handles when we were younger and this is just one variation of them.

As long as the show has ample Shinon in it I will be content.
This means of course they will show her for a minute every 5 episodes or something and ignite a rage.

I just find it funny that people thought I made it up for the OP.

Still leaving his name as Bad Guy.
 
For some strange reason I thought this season would be good. When is Terror in Tokyo coming out?

I made the same mistake with Spring.

Still got to watch Barakamon and TiT looks interesting. P4GA just because I love persona and possibly the mecha anime.

Sailor Moon too unless it turns out to be horrible.

Its much better than Spring.
 
I just like how Akame is dumb and knows that it's dumb, while Titan is dumb and thinks that it's some DEEP shit.

Please don't project. How the hell is Titan something that thinks it's "DEEP"??

it's about some big monsters who try to kill humanity and humanity that fights back with spiderman gear. It tries to be thrilling (action!, surprises!, traitors!, dramatic!, mysteries!, exclamation points!) but not exactly "deep".

So, this is a project from Kitema Circus (Code:Breaker) and Masaki Tachibana the director of Tokyo Magnitue 8.0. I didn't really know anything about the show going in except that it looked like it had nice art and the OP was pretty great. Having practically no expectations going in I'm happy to report that this was one of the stronger first episodes I've seen in a while.

For those who aren't aware, the premise of this series is that a master calligrapher moves from Tokyo to some little island to help him hone his craft and free his creative spirit. This episode just explains a little bit about his past and his first day in his new home.

It's a pretty simple stuff, from a writing perspective and it features the usual clichés like friendly villagers, the artist struggling with their own creativity, viewing the world through the eyes of the child, and some fairly on-the-nose dialogue.

This premise isn't exactly compelling on it's own but the director has managed to make a fun opening episode that's carried by some strong comic timing, light hearted character interactions and some really great nice character animation which they manage to keep up all episode. Oh, and the background art looks pretty great too.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about this initial episode, besides how great the animation is, would be that the main character is kind of a dick throughout the episode even when he knows that he's wrong and even when the target of his ire is a child.

I'm not entirely sure how this will hold my interest over the coming weeks as there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to this premise but we'll have to see. At the moment it's the best thing I've seen this season.
