Manga sales boost are usually more backlog oriented, so they're harder to gauge until we get stuff like year end or half year numbers

LOL, It was a rec from yesterday's list and when I was researching it, something HAS to be up with it to be THAT bad, lol. like a 2.2/5 on Crunchy and in the 5/10 on MAL. Literally, the worst ratings I've EVER seen!
Noragami (2nd season is coming this Fall)
Tsuritama (CR)
Shingeki no Bahamut
Another
Hanayamata (crunchy)
Black Bullet
Kids on the Slope,
Sunday without God,
11eyes,
Terraformars.
Kyousougiga
Mitsudomoe
Buddy Complex
Glasslip
Meganebu!
Ping Pong

Mezzo Forte (watch the censored version)
Paranoia Agent

Humanity has Declined
I was actually thinking of adding Wandering Son to the list. I think that one would lead to an incredible amount of discussion I've had that one on my MAL list for awhile and would be interesting to watch that one with everyone. Not sure how many have watched it here though..
Is this going to be a separate thread in OT ? Black Bullet may be a catharthic experience for all the moe/loli haters.
Humanity has Declined is about the only thing on this list I've heard positive opinions of.
Overlord 5
Good episode, those 20 min just pased by. It seams that conquering the world will have to wait, since the show changed themes again. Looks like the next few episodes episodes will be about the guild, and Skelly being in a disguise and laying low, instead of reigning terror on the world.

D-Frag and Kokoro Connect are excellent!
agreed. NGNL is awesome. Haters gonna hate. You know how it is.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Episode 43
I always wonder if Yeager actually went to interview for the position dressed like he is. Would be a good one. Love his laugh and finally to see him duel, but Crow, really?
Kingcrabshipping moment was the best, both punching each other and everything. I was hoping we wouldnt keep a depressed Yusei around for a long stretch of episodes (ARC V made it seem like theirs lasted so long with Yuuya oniichans).
That hair design what? Thats Shiki levels of terrible.
Thanks!
Monster Musume 05
Every week I see some wierd fucking shit and I say to myself. "This is so fucking lewd, it can never be topped".
Every week I'm wrong.
This episode had a lot of Suu moments though.
eww mermaid girl. Worst from what Ive seen.
Shangri La sold decently in UK? I can respect that. Good to see!

That is a really weird list because it has a bunch of good shows then Glasslip, Terraformars, Buddy Complex and Meganebu.
Out of the three I haven't watched, I'd go for Humanity Has Declined or Glasslip. 11 Eyes sounds a too much like your generic "MC gets transported to a fantastic world" plot that's been all the rage as of late.

Yes, I'm putting the thread together now. It will be pretty simple, we just have to get peeps to joing in from here and the toonami thread, as well as some of the casual lurkers that watch anime, but don't post in here for whatever reason.
I'll remove Black Bullet if it's that bad. It's meant for more people to experience it (good or bad), not alienate everyone with the loli stuff, lol.
Msybe Humanity has Declined will be the next then. It's on Crunchy and sounds very interesting...

So how is this exactly going to work? Do we just watch some episodes every day?
Rip EU btw

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't understand why disc sales matter at all given that they price them only for the most hardcore of hardcore fans
Every time I see this kind of post, I seriously wonder whether its just western anime fans freaking out for no reason or whether they just don't have ratings in Japan

I see nothing, I know nothing...
comes out to 1 a day, so it's not bad at all. you can double up and skip a day or two if needed.
Wait, does this stream on any of the EU services? I can only check NA. Can someone look up EU for me?
Humanity.
Has.
Declined.
I second this. Please don't pick Glasslip.
e: also I just searched crunchyroll for Mononoke and it wasn't there.

EU, the place where you can't get anime and Persona reliably.

Not on Crunchyroll or any other service that I know of.
Humanity has Declined is available for me though, you might wanna switch it up for now.
Anyway, EU is a messy area, lots of different countries can watch different shows.

Now you know how we feel every day.
Okay, allow me to elaborate on the show's basic premise... In the distant future, huge bugs and abominations attack humans, who live behind some protective monolith things. The MC is part of some kind of anti-monster task force and is assigned a young girl as a partner, and meets other pairs of older man and younger girl. All the girls that are recruited are actually the byproduct of monster blood somehow mixing with a pregnant woman (...yeah...), and so they all have special abilities or powers.
The show aired a bit after AoT, and it also tries to pull off a dark and edgy plot that decides to give the MC plot armor because why the hell not. Many people die (including the little girls), which is probably the reason why people might joke that it's a good show to watch if you want to see moe lolis suffering... but then there's quite a bit of love for people who are actually into those kind of characters.
If we ended up watching it then discussions would probably mock the show itself, which could be fun by itself, but it isn't a good anime by any means.
Has this PV been posted here before? It was uploaded on 31st March, but I don't remember seeing it around here. It's Mysterious Somera-chan, from the author that brought you Ai Mai Mi!

I may be the only person on the planet looking forward to this.
Oh and it starts next season.

From your bigger list and from the stuff I've seen:,Kyousougiga and Ping Pong are the highlights. The first is in US and should be in most of EU. Not sure about the latter, I remember it being somewhat a messy situation. Crunchy for EU and Funi for US or something.

Monster Musume is turning into your standard harem trash, and Kobayashi gets like 10 seconds of voice time. I'd rather her be glue factory'ed now so I don't have to suffer any more.

It already was, but at least its entertaining harem trash! It has Suu and Papi, so I forgive it of any transgressions.

Monster Musume was always harem trash
It will become 100x better in 2(?) episodes

The manga goes into weird places, particularly about Usui's background, and I eventually just stopped reading it out of boredom. I don't know if it ever pays off, to be honest.
The anime was fine though, but it's your typical "smart girl is so awesome and great, except she still needs to be saved by the one super guy for reasons" shoujo.
The weird fake lesbian goo stuff was just boring. I kind of hate that I just see that as "normal" for anime now. lol

I'm only in it for MON Squad basically consisting of Zombina, Smith (Kobayashi), Tio, Manako, and Doppel.
I swear I didn't vote for it.
If anything, it looks like people hate Glasslip, so maybe the next show to watch could be narrowed down to Humanity Has Declined, removing Black Bullet and Glasslip and maybe putting Another and 11 Eyes back in the queue.
But man, CR region restrictions on older shows are a real pain... even though my region gets most of the shows they get the rights to nowadays, I just noticed Mononoke's locked behind a region lock for me as well. Given that I'm actually subscribed to CR, would trying to bypass that be a no-no according to GAF? If that happens to be the case, I guess I'll just have to wait for the next series.
I can see the show getting much better when they show up.

I'm redoing to OT to start with "Humanity has Declined" first and "Another" second... Can somein gin NA and EU send me links Crunchyroll site for Humanity has Declined and Another please? I'm redoing the OT now but I got a security warning last time I hit the Crunchyroll link from my work laptop. Damn stingy IS team not allowing us to use streaming/media services...
http://www.crunchyroll.com/humanity-has-declined
http://www.crunchyroll.com/another
Links are the same for all regions, only those of us in regions that aren't able to watch the show just get no episodes in the list and

Too bad they're just in the credits. lol
There's a live action version of that manga about the girl who likes bondage, so this isn't surprising. I just don't imagine any real Japanese woman being able to look like the vice president.

are both of those available in youe EU area? Anyone else in EU have a problem with these two?
#1) Humanity Has Declined
(8/4-8/18)
#2) Another
(8/18-8/25)
We'll just start with those two for now and go from there.
I'll add Princess Jellyfish and Sound of the Sky to the pool, as well as The wondering Son.

You mean Nana to Kaoru?
I'm surprised that never got an anime, it got a shitty OVA and thats it
It's lewd as hell but has good character development and doesn't portray BDSM in a shitty way like 50 Shades of Grey and stuff like that
lol Eastern fringes of EU here, both unavailable.
IMO, I wouldn't let it bother you too much. The extent of good, interesting shows available in all the regions you want will be miniscule.
I'm in Argentina, not EU, but yeah, both work for me.
Some shows are weird in that I can watch the newer seasons but not the older ones. That is the case for Non Non Byori, for example, but at least in that show's case it sounds like S2 doesn't build upon S1 to the point I'd be missing out on stuff by not waching it from the start.

Oh yeah, that was it.
I think just seeing it play out with live action characters and jdrama production values killed it for me though.
Humanity has Declined is available in the UK, but Another isn't.

I think the OT should reflect the current title that is being watched.
Is that a list of animes that people will watch in OT? Because OT hated Terraformars a lot. And it totally deserves the hate.

And it does serve as a great way to understand all those characters.
First world problems.
I really like it.
You could try to explain that the goal is to watch lesser-known shows in the title as well, but I don't know what kind of witty subtitle would fit the OT since obscure shows mean you can't drop some in-joke or reference and expect people to get it.
Now that I think about it, I guess a "Now showing: <show name>" subtitle would work really well.
