Yea might as well watch Dennou Coil. I had issues with it but it is highly regarded.
Why spend 30 minutes on something that might turn out to be poor when I can use that time productively and watch known quantity such as Soul of Gold instead ?!

Worth a watch, it's a nicely animated short OVA. But you know, plot-wise don't expect a closed story. I always saw it as some kind of project for a series or a film that never got approved and ended as a OVA. No idea, really.

I really hope you guys don't cheat on your waifu collecting figures of different characters!
You keep hyping this show. Ill check it out soon.
I know the feeling. I have been apartment/condo searching lately it has taken a lot of my energy and I come home and dont want to do anything.
You didnt know that Woofy? And I thought you were a fan

It's a good Novel, the anime tries to do the best they can , but the amount of cute within is really low.
Just saying.
But do try it.
Why buy things at release when you could wait and spend twice as much?

Enjoy this show. Its pretty special. Very unique and absolutely bizarre.

I got triggered upon seeing those NNB dakis. But I wouldn't say that Snafu/Oregairu is far more preferable to NNB.

Hantsuki ep.4-END
a.k.a: Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora, or Looking Up At The Half-Moon
This was a pretty intense short series that averages out to the length of a short movie. Overall, it's a sweet story of love and despair between two patients in a hospital setting. With these films, like Plastic Memories where the girl is in dire condition, it’s not about what happens at the end; it’s about the journey in getting there, I mean seriously, what a horrible outcome was forshadowed. With that being said, they carry the plot along well and you finally find out why the doctor is suck a psycho in the end; pretty crazy stuff, but it doesn't excuse his crimes earlier... There was also that useless side plot with the nurses friend that felt really out of place. The only thing I can think off is he was running away in despair at that moment everything went down; I mean, it was a pretty intense scene, but confusing in context to the story at hand. From my perspective she was trying to comfort him
, but she was crying at the end of the scene because nobody ever comforts her, I get it, but felt waaay out of place when his romantic interests rested elsewhere. The ending was sweet and spelled out what was to come, but the ED is very misleading since none of those images are actually in the anime. Also, the OP and ED were both really well done and fit the tone of the anime perfectly. I really liked this one and the message they finally got out towards the end.
BTW, old me that dies was still the best, these crazy perverted old guys and grandpa's are always the best characters and really spread perfect wisdom..!

Reminds me, I watched the first two episodes of DearS like 6 months ago and never continued (poor childhood friend was all upset about the super hot alien chick living with and trying to get it on with the MC) might be a good diversion trash anime to watch.
Now Girls Bravo, I can;t remember who here recommended it, but is it really super lewd? Is it comedy and useless trash, or is there a decent story there?
Dunno what you've seen, so just throwing stuff out here that I'd seen and liked:
Magnetic Rose segment in the Memories OVA anthology is great. The premise is basically Alien cross with Planetes (watch Planetes too if you haven't), that should be able to sell it to anyone.
The Animatrix anthology has some good sci-fi stories (particularly the ones in the middle), but they're pretty short. Some of them definitely fit the noir/cyberpunk genre tho.
Dennou Coil has sublime animation and great world-building. The story really comes into its own in the second half too.
And this is not hard sci-fi, but everyone should watch Patlabor (Movie continuity especially).
Oh yeah almost forgot, Robot Carnival anthology has some good shorts too.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 422
Yes Konohamaru Naruto-niichan filler. This is such a good set of episodes. I love how Konohamaru finally had time to show us how he trained for the rasengan with Naruto. He sounded so excited everytime with Naruto. I couldnt stop smiling and laughing.

Did you read that post of mine you quoted? I said it's good clean family fun.
Also, for once, the English dub is actually good.

You dont like Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon? Its just one week, unless you wanted another full filler arc? I think plenty like him, lots of us were glad hes been finally playable in NUNS.

Triple Naruto! Made me want to rewatch my Shippuden dvds from the start again. Narutos outfit as the treasure was nostalgic.
Ehh. Theyre not bad. I dont see a problem with these.
Whats this about?
Thats not necessarily true! I watch lots of non-cute things.
Ushio and tora for example. Remember I like yanderes and crazy anime faces.
First there was this (from the Kickstarter game Shantae - Half Genie Hero) :
Now there is this:
Both better than their Monster Musume counterparts IMO

I am actually excited for this game. Donated 75$ to kickstarter.
Pretty much yeah. Just collectors items.
Starship Operators might be relevant
or Iria: Zeiram
or Bubblegum Crisis
Ain't gonna watch this just by virtue of it not being Shirobako's new season.
I've only got two episodes of Aria the Animation left, so I'm gonna get it finished up today. It still amazes me how it manages to be so laid back and relaxed while never being dull to watch. Maybe it's because of President Aria, but really all the characters are great, though.

School-Live! is the best show no one's watching. I almost passed over it, so glad I didn't. The last few episodes have been fantastic, though the show is a bit slower paced. Good psychological slice of life, though.
A shitload of people are watching it.

I think a lot of people here are watching it, myself included. Looking forward to watching today's episode.
Dont call Rika a meanie! Rika is a sweetie! So shes a bit perverted
Cencoroll is legit interesting. Its really short. Watch it.
Well, I was actually.
No matter if its cute or not.
Girls Bravo is pretty lewd yeah.

I never heard of anyone saying that they like Moegi and Udon.. Konohamaru was cute in Naruto. But now these three little shits are annoying as fuck.

Medium, it isn't getting too much love yet on Crunchyroll compared to many other series I'm watching this season, and at least from my personal experience whenever I bring it up with normal circles of people who watch anime, social feeds, or even forums, most people don't seem to know anything about it, though a few other series like Gate, Rokka, etc., and I decided to do an experiment before I made that post and search up key words for a variety of show names in this topic and see which ones popped up the most and least, and 'Live' & 'Gakkou' for School Live was on the lower spectrum as well for GAF search results in this topic (though for live many were talking about livecasting and such as well).
---If you haven't seen the show, don't read the paragraph below, the show is best experienced knowing as little as possible---

Obviously more are watching it than no one, but I do think it might be a bit before it fully catches on. There's not much in terms of
zombie
Highschool of the Dead
HotD
I'd recommend you watch Season 2. It's better in every way (comedy, drama, some legit character development). If I recall correctly there's even less little sister fanservice (not that that's a plus in my book).

People also refer to it as Gakkou Gurashi.
Anyway, /r/anime threads of Gakkou get the same numbers as a Gate thread or something, not that that is the best way of gauging popularity but still, I wouldn't assume that nobody is watching it.
PS, you can just use spoiler tags instead of doing it your way.

It's well documented how much I love President Aria! His antics in Episode 8 were one of my highlights of The Animation.
The end of Animation was really sweet. You'll love it!

I believe I watched the first episode and it sounded like there was a huge time gap... Was there 3 seasons to it?

Humanity Has Declined 2
Definitely a step-up from the first episode. The batshit insane comedy is more pronounced here and it works. I think my favourite part from this episode was everything involving the skinned chickens especially the speech scene.
This is gonna be a fun watch if this keeps up.

Sabre is a kuso TTK?
I think I only have amiibos. lol
I wonder what happens to those guys who ONLY have one character plastered all around their room. Like, do they ever change waifus, or are they stuck with whatever they tied their lot to forever. lol
I would imagine the daikmuras are just the pillow cases and not the pillows themselves... at least you could just show that into a closet somewhere or something. lol
Thanks, will do. Always liked what I saw of his chara designs.
Asura
It was ... okay I guess ? Nothing particularly amazing but with its short runtime (1:15) it doesn't drag and it doesn't get preachy, except for the last scene. The story follows the titular Ashura, an orphaned boy who grew in the wild isolated from any people and as such, starts out resembling more a beast than a human. He doesn't shy from hunting people for food, if anything, they seem to be his mainstay dish. Eventually of course,due to meeting certain two characters, he starts to change and the viewer follows the tribulations of this change.
CG for characters unfortunately sticks out, sometimes more, sometimes less but it's something readily apparent even with the heavily stylized designs. On the plus side, it allows for some dynamic camera work that I imagine would be a pain in ass with hand drawn animation. Another + are the backgrounds which do a great job of setting the mood of the story. The latter is heavy and dreary. With the story being set in fairly realistic, pre-modern rural Japan and with villagers constant afraid for crops and of hunger that is pretty understandable. The drama at the end was a bit overbearing
but at least there was no forced happy ending.

No way Hien will die, I hope Ibuki wont listen to him.
Fast episode, it ended so soon before everything got good.

Vampire Hunter D - Bloodlust
I heard about this a few times before, and even watched a pair of pieces in youtube, but until now I hadn't got around to watch it.
Hey that was pretty as hell. Delicious Amano character design, and well excellent work by Madhouse. Interesting mix of... almost everything: post apocalyptic western gothic scifi? The plot wasn't as bad as I feared, it was serviceable in its simplicity.

Season 1 is fanservice heavy with a bit of plot/story.
Season 2 abandons all the story and focuses on some fanservice like you wouldn't believe.
It's average and only offensive if you've got no tolerance for fanservice.

So essentually, it's just mindless ecchi fun. Exactly what I am looking for.
As long as it's not the loli fanservice I'm fine with it. It's when they start exposing and parading around markably young little girls that it really starts getting really uncomfortable.
