The second movie is worth watching for the revamped final battle alone. The animation quality and music during that part were insane.

Probably. Though I think there might be other yokai related shows that are also in that vein. Though none really are episode like those two.
Natsume is my favourite though. That and the movie by the same writer which seems like a trial run. Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light.
?????????????????
??????????????????????????
All righty then.
I will second this notion, since nobody else has.
The first movie was mostly that. I wouldn't recommend it over the series since it skims over pretty much most of the character development and doesn't offer much new stuff. The second movie is pretty awesome though. It changes and adds a lot of things to the second arc of the series (all for the better I thought) and they extended the already insane final battle, and somehow managed to top it.

The staff for Flying Witch isn't as good as I'd like, but hopefully it'll manage to be solid.

Just saw the Dagashi Kashi Opening.....
Well at least we know which anime will have one of the worst Opening this season.

I cannot express to you how badly I wanted Shinya Kawatsura (Kokoro Connect, Non Non Biyori) to direct this. :l

It's Studio Feel, isn't it? The first few episodes of almost everything they do seems rushed for whatever reason. One of my classmates was telling me it had something to do with their storyboarding/writing process, but I'm not sure where he got that idea from.
This is the first time they've had two shows in one season, isn't it? Not that it should matter much, but it is interesting. Oregairu must have done good things for them.

Still no news on anyone picking up Konosuba is making me sad.
Sounds good, I like J.C Staff.
I don't think i'll ever understand anyone who drops something after the first episode.
I've seen a fair share of series where the first episode was lackluster but eventually become good in a later episode.
Anywho:
Myriad Colors Phantom World 1
Pretty sure that's not how boobs work. This show gives me a beyond the boundary feeling (probably the concept).
That said, after this episode was done, I was waiting for the credits to end so that the next episode could start, until realizing that there was only 1 episode. Basically what i'm getting at is this show feels like a show i'd binge and not feel bad about it so far. We'll see how it goes though.
Erased 1
YEP, i'm in.
I'll agree that the MC VA is a welcome thing, but I could definitely tell he wasn't accustomed to voice work (parts of his delivery were stiff). He isn't bad though, and I expect him to get better as the season goes on.
Episode is engaging, that's for sure. I understand why some people thought it was too quick, though. The first half goes at a brisk pace, but evens itself out by the end; I wouldn't complain about it though.
I'm glad that something I hyped without knowing anything about finally turned out good :3

Time is a commodity and there are a shit ton of anime that comes out every season, those that fail to make an impression right away tend to get cast by the wayside.

I was curious enough to go to MAL to see the reception of Erased anime.
Well color me surprised they really like it and it's the highest rated of all the seasonal anime. Hopefully it stays consistently good.
Now I'm just waiting for Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu to air as well as Dimension W.

Hunter X Hunter (1999) 1
I love the rich atmosphere this creates - somewhat mysterious, somewhat wild, and a boy who's at home in it all. There's a reflectiveness to everything that I really appreciate.
Plus a good deal of character richness as well. How many shounen manga adaptations spend the bulk of their first episode on the pain of a (foster) mother losing her child?

I usually don't drop shows but when I do it's after the third or fourth episode for the most part. There's only been a few times where I stopped after the first ep or in the middle because I thought it was that bad. But I get why people do, like Shard said some people don't have the time. Nor willing to waste it on something they're really not feeling.
But I also agree there have been a lot of series that turned out really good in the long run. I can take an anime that starts of a little meh, it's the bad endings that bother me a lot.

I understand what your saying, but watch the whole first episode of this and see if it changes your mind:

My soul died a little at those last 30 seconds.
You're in for a treat. Post reactions in the OT also, lol.

You would really waste 3+ hours on a bad anime just to see if it ever improves from rock bottom. I was glad to never come back to Lance N'masques and Ikkitousen: Xtreme Xecutor. There was no way for Ikkitousen to ever improve, sorry.

I stopped watching Ping Pong on episode one.
Best anime related decision of my life.
Best anime related decision of my life.
need a mod to change his number into a countdown for each month he doesnt watch logh/utena and he gets permd if it reaches 0
Does it count if I'm not going to be picking up Phantom World in the first place? The concept isn't appealing to me and I don't worship at the altar of KyoAni.
I could always be convinced to watch it, but not right out of the gate. Just like how there's people who are "dropping" Active Raid who may be persuaded to pick it up if something fun/crazy/good happens later.
He was put off by the art at first which is somewhat understandable but the crime is him never giving it another shot after how well received it was.
But why are you watching the inferior version?

A real good first episode of a shit show is the worst though because you hold out hope it'll be good again but it NEVER DOES.
lol with funi's lame rebranding theres been even more terrible glassdoor reviews
I do wonder how many of these are legitimate and how many are submissions meant to make this into a meme since it gained traction.
Lol sure thing.
The Rolling Girls kind of got me there, I wouldn't call it shit but the disappointment was there in the end.

I agree with this, which sucks when I recommend shows to and have to say "but it gets better after episode __", but don't feel right dissuading them from dropping it if they really hated the start.

It was supposed to be bright and colorful Mad Max with superpowered girls and we got... something else instead.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Episode 29
This new arc of the seven stars is pretty good, and they even started with Red Eyes Black Dragon.
The meeting for who would carry the keys was hilarious because of the banter, Juudai thinking hes the best, Manjoume bickering with him, Chronos buttering up Ryo, then Manjoume at least indicating Juudai's potential for beating Chronos, it was so good.
Can't wait for more of the duels.
