Winter Anime 2017 |OT| John Wick cleaning up KyoAni's mess

I'm bored as shit in a town I barely know for work reasons but the SAO movie is playing at a theater that is 9 minutes walking distance from my hotel. Wonder if I should just bite the bullet and see it out of boredom and curiosity about this final fight scene that's apparently worth the $18 admission price.

18$ for any movie is too damn high

With the same staff as the current OAD series, I assume. I'm down for that.
Oh god. Hopefully it's only in the credits so I can peace out before it starts playing.
True, but I'm in Chicago right now. Everything is too damn high.
Please Tell me Galko-chan OVA
How many characters did this show introduce over the span of 12 7 minute shorts? I found it hard to remind myself who some of them were but managed to remember most of them. I think some of them are completely new but they are related to the existing cast in some way.
This was a good reminder of why I love the show.
Some of the random questions that appear aren't answered immediately/shortly which is a bit weird but it's not that I mind it particularly, I just didn't understand the point behind asking it way ahead of when the relevent part begins.

Oh man, the hump fest for Raguko is real up in here.,,,

maybe that's because it's a good show
Oh, well good! It's been totally blowing my mind every week. It's such a hard sell to people who didn't start watching it on their own though. I'm never sure how to explain it.

I think it's the fact that we all praise it so much we've stopped doing so because there isn't muhc more to be said about each episode other than "sasuga Rakugo".
It's just always consistently good, uses a setting that we seldom see in anime, handles its themes in an interesting way without relying on cheap humor or mood whiplashes, and also goes for characterizations that aren't just the same old archetypes we see over and over in most series.
Fair enough, makes sense.
As somebody who doesn't watch a ton of anime, is there much else that you or anyone else would recommend that scratches the same sort of itch? I don't know if I can identify why, but Rakugo feels similar to Planetes, Usagi Drop, and Sakamichi no Apollon to me.

Sadly this season has been really bad for it, apart from the adorable kid is hard to even care for the story that is going off the rails. I miss when it was grounded in reality and entertaining. Storytelling is really dull too.
Really? I think the kid is annoying and this season is at least as good as the first so far.

I've already seen and loved Steins, but I'll look into Barakamon. Thanks!

Don't take anything DTL says seriously.
It's honestly kinda tiring that it has to be said all the time but yeh, if you want to gauge the general AnimeGAF opinion on a show it's 99% of the time the polar opposite of his.
Cornbread78

Barakamon is great.
Below are a couple others witha more mature tone to them:
3-gatsu no Lion
Chihayafuru
Pocos Udon World
Sweetness and Lightning
Itazura na Kiss
Aishiteruze Baby- Alternate take on Usagi Drop.
Good to know! In that case, what shows do you like DTL? Just out of curiosity.
Awesome, I actually got quite a few of these as recommendations through MyAnimeList just now from Rakugo, so I'm feeling like this must be a solid list.
Any of these have a stronger recommendation than the rest?
Trickster #21

Back to QUALITY land.
I'm not even sure what the show is trying to say at this point. Twenty Faces is a legit sociopath but somehow is the other dude's fault or something.

From this season? I like Hand Shakers the most, as well as Spiritpact, Monster Hunter Stories Ride On, Puzzle & Dragons X, Marginal#4, and Trickster.
Top 5 favorite animes ever are God Eater, Guilty Crown, BLast of Tempest, HeroBank, Seraph of the End. And Free! too.

If I had to rank them:
1: Barakamon
2: Poco's Udon World
3: 3-gatsu no Lion
4: Itazura na Kiss
5: Swetness and Lightning
6: Aishiteruze Baby
7: Chihayafuru (only last because I haven;t watched it yet,but I know it fits

You forgot to mention Handa-kun.

Watch Poco's Udon World! It's the absolute best!
Cornbread78

Hand-kun isn;t a more mature story and acts like a regular comedy anime. While a good show, it doesn't fit with what he is looking for.

There is more than can be said, it just requires more intellectual effort than commenting on anime usually requires.
Rakugo Shinjuu is a well-made grounded character drama, which is probably why you sense a similarity to the other two shows you mention (although Sakamichi no Apollon has much clumsier execution and I haven't yet seen Planetes). There are few anime exactly like it, but for anime with a similar focus I would recommend
Emma: A Victorian Romance
Great Passage
Gunslinger Girl (really)
Hyouka
Master Keaton
Mouryou no Hako
Ping Pong the Animation
Shounen Hollywood
Silver Spoon
Hey AniGAF, sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, I don't dip into Off-Topic a lot.
Do you guys have any good recommendations for Anime podcasts?
IGN Anime Club just ended and it was the only one I've tried that I genuinely liked, I was wondering if there were more like it.
I've tried others, but my issues with them were among these:
I realize this is asking a lot of an anime podcast (lol), but I felt IGN Anime Club was both approachable and casual for someone like me. I watch a lot of anime, but I don't live and breathe anime, so it is hard to find a middle ground.
If there is a better thread for this question, please send me there.

- Poor audio quality
- Too much jargon/anime references I didn't know
- Talked about spoilers for too many shows I haven't seen
- Distasteful hosts

I see. We are very different people, you and I.
Alright, Barakamon and Pocco are up next it's looking like. I might have to watch something short and light first. It's been a month or two of heavy stuff for me hah.

Its the same reason we don't talk too much about March Comes in like a Lion all that much. It's constantly good and until the hat drops in the show it won't get the explosive coverage here that some feel it rightful deserves.
Solid choices...

Twin Star Exorcists ep.47
Seriously, this has to be the worst twist I've seen in a show. Absolutely terrible. So the 1,000 year old guy wants to
What kind of terrible and pathetic super NTR is this $hit? 47 episodes in for this kind of crap? WTF.
So pissed right now...

fuck the 16 yr old virgin to spare the guy she loves body, but she will die anyway and he will never remember her
So pissed right now...
I've looked into Space Brothers and it is on my to-watch list, but 99 episodes is a lot. It takes me 2-3 weeks just to watch a 12 episode anime because I generally watch only on weekdays, and only 1-2 episodes at a time.
This thread is the first I've ever heard of it. I guess that will move up my list too.

Otaku spirit and ANN cast are the two best anime podcast.
Otaku spirit has some great content. They cover almost every new anime each season.
ANN is great. I like the people doing it and they have cool guests once in a while.

Weekly reminder that you should all watch Clannad and After Story.
Hyouka is a good one.
Blu-rays when?
