I still like Aincrad as a game concept. It got slammed on for like, not being authentically MMOish, but I thought that was a good thing.
Asuna for like five minutes before she gets harem'd is pretty cool.

Got around to finishing the last 3 episodes of Comet Lucifer and hmm, really rushed, lol. The concept and the story in the end isn't bad but the overall pacing and composition of it was super sloppy. If they had spent time building some of it early on along with the slow/fun stuff, it would have worked better.

It definitely suffered from the same thing that limited Charlotte, where they shoved 24 episodes of material into 12-13. Good stories and concepts, but rushed pacing and missed opportunities.

Bubuki Buranki- 1
This was dope, a nice surprise. I think they did a really good job with the first half, showing bits and pieces of the world, taking the time to get a little bit familiar with the characters, and eased in a very little bit of info about Buranki, it all flowed at a nice pace in my opinion. As for the latter half, it was alright, not as good as the first part but still decent. Besides an older Azuma, some new characters were introduced and aside from the boy that appears a bit obnoxious, I have no issue with them so far. They got some action in and it wasnt bad either, the Bubuki are some interesting weapons. Then the ending made me curious enough to look forward to the next episode.
As for the visuals, the CGI was done well in my opinion, they were a few instances where the characters were a bit janky and the obnoxious boy lips were moving a few seconds before he started talking but other than that it was straight. The environments are looking good as well, the greenery in the beginning with them going through the forest, the Buranki walking through the trees looked a bit mystical and the buildings in the latter half. The music is also fitting well for the most part. So I think this was a nice start and it has potential, just hope it doesnt go to complete shit; that would be disappointing.
Think Ill check out Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu next.

I dig the OP, it reminds me of Gangsta. Pretty sure it's the same band. I really dig this visual effect that they use once in a while with the backgrounds aha.
Love the setting, premise is interesting and I like the cast already. Definitely gonna keep watching this one.

I'm just now watching Redline for the first time and I've come up with some words to describe how I feel about it. I've hidden them in the spoiler below.

Prince of Stride: Alternative 1
Not sure if I'll watch the whole thing. The male characters seem interesting
but the sport aspect of the show seems extremely thin, perhaps even more so than Free. It is the first episode of course, and perhaps they'll develop it more once they reach the competition but if I'm not watching if for the high paced action, I'm watching it for the sexual tension between the boys and if they focus on their relationships with the Mary Sue character instead, ala UtaPri, I won't have much reason to continue watching aside from ogling Hozumi's pinned fringe.

At first I was gonna make this a post about how despite not being the biggest fan of KyoAni around I still considered them to be at least above this kind of fanservicey trash but then I remembered they're responsible for Chuuni, Kyokai no Kanata and Amagi Park and was like, nope, this shit seems to be right up their alley after all. I don't know what's more embarrasing, the activation of superpowers by self fondling or the timing of the boob bounce to win at limbo but the cringe was definitely all too real. It's pretty-looking trash but trash nonetheless.

First of all this one is quite gorgeous. And it seems like one of the best SAO clones ooff the bat. The characters are more grounded, and so seem to be the rules in this world. I'm interested in watching more. Oh and this guy:

He's hilarious.
Cross Game and Baby Steps are the goats, sports romance is my favourite genre bar none when it's done well.
I still need to watch Chihayafuru

Hiya guys. Got a friend who was looking to watch some slice of life anime that was very down to earth and not cutesy but I couldn't think of any that met those specifications. So I wanted to ask here and see if any of y'all could help me with that by giving me some recommendations to any good ones that would meet those specifications

Silver Spoon?

One of these days I'll find out what shitty anime you like. He who woofs last, woofs the hardest
Silver Spoon definitely. If not that, Barakamon. If comedy is an option in it, then maybe School Rumble. Does he want slice of life in general or does he want a comedy, or a drama? Because light hearted I guess means comedy.
Shove K-On down your friends throat.

Much of the first episode was devoted to Stride, including a really well directed race at the end. The OP featured several rival teams at the end. Plus, people who have played the game say that it focuses more on sport than romance (and the anime is going to depart from the game story anyway, hence the "Alternative").

Dragon Ball Z: Episode of Bardock
You know, they really should have ended Bardock's story with his death in the special because this should not exist.
I'm not going to lie, this one was a real turd. It's bad enough that it completely misses the point of Bardock's character but everything about this OVA has no real rhyme or reason behind it. Why did Frieza's death ball send Bardock thousands of years into the past instead of killing him? Why did it send him back to the exact same time Frieza's ancestor decided to conquer the planet? Where did Bardock's psychic powers go? Did the death ball erase that alongside planet Vegeta? Why did Bardock feel some sort of connection with the purple people despite only having like 3 unnoteworthy moments with them? Why is Bardock the Legendary Super Saiyan? My guess is that because the writers needed a reason to shoehorn Frieza's dialogue about the Legendary Super Saiyan in the beginning.
This just sucked. Nothing about this was any good, save for its animation and mercyfully short run time.
I prefer DBZ abridged's reason for why he's a Super Saiyan, mostly cause there is one.

Yeah, this thing. This is the one that sucks.
Season 2 is bad! The first season is good though.

I actually fairly like S1 of Psychop Ass and the movie. I won't defend it super hard or anything but it was entertaining. S2 is a shitpile though.

CR is a week behind Daisuki. Since there was no episode last week, there is no episode this week for CR again. Daisuki is free, you can check it out to see the new one.

Crunchyroll is always a week behind for IBO, and last week there was no new episode
