Spring 2016 anime general

[Bamyasi]

I mean for a series this cute with a young heroine I was kind of offput by the lewdness which clearly means I don't belong on TBA but I guess I'm going to keep watching it anyway so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh yeah the racyness. I dunno. I think a little bit of dark/sexual undertones are intrinsic to the "girl meets beast" genre for as many centuries as it's existed, but you're right they're usually not this overt. It is classified as seinen though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I don't like anything about it so far except the character designs and the premise.  The concept is the only reason I'm going to keep watching, because the MC is annoying and all of the characters are just old character archetypes blown out of proportion. One dude was basically Kamina but even more brash and that one girl was Nui but even more obnoxious.

We're on pretty much the same page then, though I kind of wish they'd picked other sensations in addition to pain (to dull the edge). Kino no Tabi did something similar but managed to tell the whole story in one episode. Also yes we quite enjoyed Kamina/Travis Touchdown's appearance. Ironically the Nuiclone I found to be the most tolerable character, if only because the others were so insufferable.

Also, Kabaneri should be on your list. I watched the first episode twice and I'll probably see it again by Episode 2 because my friends haven't seen it yet.

Oh yeah I definitely plan on checking it out, I just couldn't find a torrent the last time I checked but I think I had the air date wrong. I usually try to check out everything not based on a toyline or TCG or first season I haven't seen.

I found it to be an experiment from trigger, seeing as a lot of the backgrounds were drawn very seriously in regards to Kill La Kill. The spineless MC didn't bother me as much because I was always wondering how he went from some kind of weird laboratory escapee to kid living a normal life. All in all I have a pretty high bullshit tolerance when it comes to watching anime so I could just be watching something terrible and liking it a lot.

I think I just have this misplaced expectation that the number of frames be proportionate to the content's quality, so I'm harder on things if they were drawn/animated extremely well but don't live up to any other expectations. So far I like Okada's other anime this season way better, even though episode 2 kind of blew.

this was basically how i felt watching it, and i knew what was going to happen. i'm actually surprised they covered so little in the pilot. visually it's kind of a mess.. the colors are too saturated and the backgrounds are constantly competing for attention. the animation was also just okay. i expected more from an adaptation with this much anticipation built around it. some cute and funny moments but i don't care for the 'reaction shot' type gags they love to do so much in shonen. also too much crying.

keep in mind that Kiznaiver is an adaptation. Trigger can't really do their "thing" with this anime so you're not going to get the kind of shenanigans you'd typically expect from a Trigger original.

and that's why Luluco is so great. Imaishi is pretty fun when they let him off his leash.

Yeah I also found Hero a bit ugly and underwhelming. I dunno. Bones' productions I usually go either way on.

Was under the impression Kiznaiver was being published concurrently with the manga, but neregate/Wikipedia have often lied to me.

Love to love Luluco though. Dat TeddyLoid ED especially:

it is being simultaneously published, but i guess what i meant is that the designs and script are done by individuals and Trigger is just doing the adaptation of the material. so i don't think it will have as much personality as something like P&S/KLK/Luluco etc

[rtil]

saw the first ep of Kiznaiver, talk about a rushed setup but i guess it's better than wasting a bunch of time on intros and filler for half a cour. love the art style and animation. the premise is interesting, but it's too early to tell if it has any legs. here's hoping

saw Boku no hero ep 2. 2 episodes for 1 chapter.. understandable i guess. i'm guessing this anime will have more than 1 season

1st ep of Sakamoto was funny. but i could see this kind of 4koma short format comedy skits getting old fast if it's the same joke over and over

SMC s3 continues to be the anime that the franchise deserved. it's a shame they will never go back and re-do the first 2 seasons. put them side-by-side and the difference in quality is shocking in every way

Luluco is the anime i am enjoying the most right now this season. it's just so goddamn comfy and pastel heaven. i need that soundtrack

Not watching Mayoiga.

Don't you enjoy watching trainwrecks?

Other shit I've picked up since last time:

Enjoyment tier:
Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?: My pals and I joked that this is the most unrealistic anime we've ever seen. It kind of is. I've suspended less belief watching super robot shows, and pretty much every other harem comedy.
Flying Witch: Healing/10.

Withholding judgement tier:
Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: I could see myself liking it better than SnK, but probably not as much as Owari no Seraph or Hoozuki no Reitetsu. Thanks for the rec @Gilthwixt.

Ironic enjoyment tier:
Super Lovers: Watching with my gay/fujoshi friends IRL. The discomfort is palpable, which helps in making jokes. I can see this ending more tragically than Mayoiga, as most BL I've read/watch trends unswervingly toward grimdark at some point.

What the actual fuck tier:
Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou

I'm still behind on Jojo and SMC.

oh yeah mayoiga.. and flying witch. goddamn how am i supposed to keep up with all this anime i'll have to go full-on NEET mode to do it

[Bamyasi]

Usually I just pick a day like Saturday to binge watch most of the episodes from that week. It helps having a small group of friends equally dedicated to watching their lives slip away.

AOTS tbh, with Luluco, Flying Witch, Tanaka-kun, Joker Game and maybe Sakamoto following close behind.

Still some stuff I haven't seen but fuck that stuff.

aggressive retsuko is a funny short. every episode is literally 2 minutes long

Sup fags 

Just dropping by because I figured you would still be the same bunch of anime enthusiasts that I remember and because I thought you would probably be in a heated debate about one of last seasons most hyped shows that has actually continued throughout the summer season. To be honest, I am really surprised that it hasn't even been mention yet, so I will just leave this here:

Rem is love, Rem is life!






In other words: Hi, I'm still alive and it seems like my waifu taste has become quite generic. Also Re:Zero is pretty good.

[Bamyasi]

We talked about it in the new thread.

Also Bowel Hunter is best girl.

Also holy shit it's Kött.

[Kött]

Aww, shit! Hello baby! :3
