Whaaaat, for real? Is this just speculation or did the author say so.
Lol I totally failed after watching episode 2 today. Just finished reading all the manga chapters. It was too hard to resist.

I got lazy, but it's in the OP.
Okay, here's the post/link:

Yeah. Noitanima so 11 episodes

Thanks.
It feels about right though, in terms of length. Extending it for no reason would just ruin the manga.
At least this gives me reason to watch the anime too.
i thought it was crazy how 2 episodes covered like 7 chapters, so it makes sense that a 1 cour season could cover the whole manga.

Towa no Quon 3
This was like... a quarter of a good episode? Maybe a third? I really like the concept, between having other parallel story between the hero group and villain group and having a dream world built on traumatic memories, but the direction was only sporadically able to execute it properly. The really stylized flashback sequence was quite good, and provided the most visual interest in here, but a lot of the other scenes had bland direction and low quality character art. The cat-and-mouse game didn't feel tense enough. Kenji Kawai's soundtrack didn't do this episode any favors either; it's not good enough to properly support the emotional tenor of the most serious scenes.
From a writing perspective, it was a clever way to reveal Quon's backstory though.
No, Erased is 12 episodes.

Let's make anime great again!
From what I hear NoitaminA usually does 11 episodes but this is an exception.

No, you probably just like One Punch Man. But try JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hunter x Hunter and Haikyuu as well.

Yes. One Punch Man accurately reflects the modern anime landscape.

You like good anime. I think we all have those moments where no anime looks appealing and then we watch something and get hooked again.
It's from Seraph of the End (Owari no Seraph). It's a fun action anime, though nothing amazing. The characters are pretty fun. Give it a watch if you want some nice popcorn entertainment.

You like an anime at least. Anime isn't a monolithic entity, so it's not as simple as saying you like or dislike all of it.
Most noitamina shows are 11 episodes (or 22 if it's 2-cour), but there are other examples of 12 episode noitamina shows: House of Five Leaves, Kids on the Slope, Tsuritama, etc.

Yeh, Nana to Kaoru, that's it. Not the Black Label spin-off, though, unless I'm mistaken.
And yes, they aren't similar. Nothing is it appears. I mean I'm not even asking for anything to be closely to it but just well written erotic content that also happens to be hilarious in some way. But it turned outwho could've possibly knownthere's hardly any of that.

Go with Food Wars. Who knows, you might speed through it.
Yeah I don't dislike the new animation so much as the fact that it doesn't really care to "say" anything. It's just a long sequence of the Garo armor being formed, with some nice artistic touches here and there, but compared to the first OP it is super unambitious. Both the new OP and ED blow too in terms of songs. I didn't think the ED song could get worse, but damn was I wrong.
If you want some laughs, go watch the Crimson Moon OP.

You should try watching Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Dimension W.

Neither Food Wars nor Your Lie in April are really worth watching.
There's no laughs there (this isn't Young Black Jack), just a sad shaking of the head at how unambitious Crimson Moon is.

Wait, Ajin is entirely in CG?
No wonder everyone is completely ignoring it.

Also, Ajin isn't streaming anywhere because Netflix has the rights and intends to put up the whole TV series at once when it's finished.
Cheers
Yeah I plan on watching at least 2 eps of those tonight. Don't think I'll be on board for Dimension W though.
It's being "ignored" because Netflix is sitting on it and not releasing it. Given the popularity of other Polygon Pictures shows like Knights of Sidonia, Ajin will also be successful.
I'll watch it on sakugabooru.
But then you'll miss the amazing Sawano soundtrack!

I have to wonder how successful KoS was. Netflix is continuing to buy anime to dub, so it must have done at least okay.
That said, as much as people don't like BBR/BRCK (Yeah that sounds right.), Ajin CG looks bad in comparison. Doesn't suit the art well...
I like Seraph of the End. But mostly in a "it's so bad, it's good" kind of way.
The second season becomes mostly good though, save for some really stupid moments.
Your decision to just watch the animation might be for the best.

Blah. Both are good.

Do we really have to start posting Ajin gifs here? They're opening up the old wounds Polygon Pictures inflicted upon me. Come back soon and save us, Studio Gooneys!

Started reading the Ajin manga and it's legit good

I dont even know what this Ajin thing is, but I guess I'll wait for the reactions of the show to see if it's worth reading/watching it

I just hope the Blame movie that's being adapted by Polygon Pictures looks fantastic.

The first season is a mess, the 2nd pulls itself together enough to be a really mediocre shounen action show.
