First impressions on the season so far:

Restaurant Isekai
I'm not sure what I thought this show would be but I'm happy with what it is so far. Hopefully it'll be a nice food show to carry me to Food Wars next season.

Cleanliness Boy
It was off to a pretty funny start but as is so often the case with stuff like this, the joke was about Aoyama being a clean freak was getting a little old by the end of the first episode. It probably would have helped to be a short instead. Also watching this just made me way to get back into Haikyu.

Tsuredure Children
The standout so far this season. Coming in I heard a lot of people comparing to Tsuki ga Kirei and so far I'm enjoying more than that show since Tsuredure already has the life and energy TgK was so often lacking.

Aho Girl
There were moments but not what I'd call a strong start.

Quiz King
Saving the worst for last. Very boring and generic set up of a somewhat unique premise featuring the epitome of a god awful, lame duck MC.

Knight's & Magic EP1

Soooooo Gooood....its actually just decent but this season is so garbage it really stands out!

Any season with Symphogear in it can't be garbage by default.
And half of the stuff hasn't even had a first episode yet

 

[blurr]

I didn't even know Kemono Friends became such a hit. Wtf makes everybody go mad about?

good voice over work with endearing characters and an intriguing setting

I really feel calling it a "meme" show undercuts its strengths, not saying the fanart/jokes didn't to some extent imbue the enthusiasm I've had but there's more to it than that.

 

[Narag]

Good news for Glitter Force fans.

The penguin girl is waifu?

lol
Why did they keep Doki Doki if they're going to localize the shit out of it?

I still haven't watched the second half of their version of Smile though...

 

[Narag]

Leave Hululu alone.

Also someone pointed out on twitter that the only Japanese in the title of either show was the lone thing not actually changed.

 

[Line_HTX]

There's still no good reason why that show blew up so hard on the Internet besides memes.

 

[TacticalHotdog]

lmao

part of me hopes this film has a cult following in Japan.

We've seen Gunkata in fighting games, in Mafia Doggies, and now here is another reference.

I'm pretty sure that this scene from Resident Evil Vendetta is inspired by the gunkata from Equilibrium with all the missing at point blank range

 

[Castile]

Good news for Glitter Force fans.

Oh boy! People are gonna be mad at the Precure board. Expect it to be at the same quality as Smile since it was made before Toei got the rights back from Saban but with more episodes cut, 19 if we go by the leak.

 

[Narag]

It's really obvious in Mazinkaiser SKL too. Safe to say it's a thing.

Pardon the AMV.

 

[Szadek]

Good news for Glitter Force fans.

I read about it a while ago. They are going to cut 15 episodes or something crazy like that.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

So Ballroom is going to be 2 course it seems; I have no clue where they are going to end it then. If it was one-course the pacing had a perfect stopping point, but it being 24 episodes puts it in a weird ass spot for an ending.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

The Reflection PV.

 

[duckroll]

The Reflection PV.

Looks great. Finally we can have something that looks like Panty and Stocking without being too vulgar to recommend to normal people!

Masaki Yamada is the chief animation director. Has he worked with Nagahama before?

 

[Qurupeke]

The Reflection PV.

Looks really cool.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I don't think it looks like Panty and Stocking. Panty and Stocking was trying to imitate a specific kind of 2000s Cartoon Network aesthetic taken in a crasser direction, whereas The Reflection is not based so much on American cartoons as much as an idealized version of American comics.

Masaki Yamada is the chief animation director. Has he worked with Nagahama before?

Doesn't look like it. The only show I can see that they both worked on was Now and Then, Here and There, and they didn't even work on the same episode in that show.

 

[BGBW]

Necrophiliacs.

Wtf DEEN is behind this? Now I'm curious to see how much drop in animation quality DEEN can fuck up even in this artstyle.

Haven't seen the ancient DeenBadAnimation meme for like over a year now. Lol.

 

[Defuser]

Thats because I wasn't around much the past few seasons to keep the meme going lol or else I would have shitted on Kono Suba S2 atrocious animation.

I love Konosuba S2's animation.

 

[Defuser]

Konosuba animations is like Gurren Lagann ep4 stretch out to 2 cours.

Somewhere out there, my American twin is ranting about StarsAndStripesWatch.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode 14:

So that is what happens when you mix a video game boss level with the power of friendship shonen bullshit.

American cartoons the series was based on were even more vulgar than P&S.

 

[Defuser]

Ok, so looking up the web I can only conclude Kemono Friends is a JP equivalent of MLP.

Both are about animals.
Both are about about having pure fun.
Both are unexpected success among adults although it's aimed at children.

So now can I call people Bromono?

 

[Theonik]

We just call each other Frenzu.

It's late night anime, so it's not aimed at kids

 

[BGBW]

Don't beat around the Savannah bushes.

Just call them furries.

 

[sleverfunk]

I just watched Kuzu No Honkai.
Holy fuck the show doesn't hold back from the start. It's a fucking mess at the start but I can't stop watching.

 

[texhnolyze]

Should I watch anime or dorama version of Kuzu no Honkai?

 

[/XX/]

Konosuba animations is like Gurren Lagann ep4 stretch out to 2 cours.

And that would have been nice too, because the industry needs more opportunities for people like Mr. Kobayashi & Mr. Numata.

Close enough from an outsider's perspective.

I've heard more than one person say that.

Please use scenario art more often anime, the Boruto 2nd ending theme song is amazing.

The Reflection PV.

This looks sick


Also Konosuba had excellent animation

 

[Narag]

YGO VRAINS! Episode 8

So glad Blue Angel is out of commission so we can move on to some real plot. Feel bad for Zaizen but the plot kind of means Playmaker wont be losing in the next duel

The characters are all a mess... It's a beautiful trainwreck..

I don't hate the idea of Trigger providing nothing but genga lol. (Since when do they have enough animators for two shows and a co-pro?)

Also I'll watch anything Masayoshi Tanaka designs, so.

 

[Defuser]

Okay so atrocious animation isn't the word to use for Kono Suba but goddamn the art style is inconsistent and all over the place.

Quiz anime?

Nana Maru San Batsu

It's a competitive quiz game anime.

 

[Infinite_Respawn]

I'll be the first to say I think the second season of KonoSuba's overall quality of animation was disappointing in comparison to the first, but what caused me to drop it early in winter wasn't the art but the humor, which wasn't up to the standards set by the first season in the first few episodes, though I know I'm in the minority in that respect. I'll catch up with it eventually.
