I dunno it all looks good except Boruto, Berserk, SnK and the other seasonal toy commercials.
Also fuck I never ever started Rakugo but AOTS last saison is still a tossup between Kuzu no Honkai, Akibastrip, Urara Meirochou, Masamune-kun and GabDrop. I'm like 2 episodes behind in all of them.
LWA had one really really good episode that made the rest look incredibly weak and Maid Dragon made me laugh like twice bravo KyoAni F-.

I'm so happy I'm not an anime only fag and I know what all the references were but I want to know why all of that shit is in the ED if we won't be seeing it until 2020 with the current production rate
No you're just a regular fag.

Yeah they both hold up very well (well actually way better if you've only seen terrible localizations).
BSSM S1 (best subs, looks great on CRT ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (http://www.sailormooncenter.net/tracker/download.php?id=dc7c3b1dc16e8d8a2ea336b9662ecf3cb660e379&f=%5BSMC%5D_Sailor_Moon_01-46%28R2_DVD.H264.AAC%29.torrent), CCS (https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=249265)

Hehe.
AHHHH.
Thank you!
I could explain why you don't want to watch the English dubs of Sailor Moon but you're better off just knowing that your choice is between a varyingly voiced albeit heavily censored edit of the show or a somewhat decently voiced uncut one.

Stay the fuck away from any Cardcaptor Sakura dubs.
Edit: but if you still want to check out the SM English dubs here's DiC S1-2 (https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=898525) (before shittastic Linda Ballantyne showed up) and VIZ S1 (https://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=820594). I'd go with the VIZ one personally, even though Tracey Moore a best Usagi.
Also don't watch Crystal.
Okay!
👌
Good answer.
crystal season 3 is good tho
Yeah I should probably pick it back up.
Did Rakugo S2 have animation problems? Konosuba S2 did so I figured I'd wait for both their BD releases before watching.
it did not. probably different teams, or perhaps they outsourced some episodes. i didn't pay attention to the credits
uchouten kazoku started today. it was good
These are my favorites this season so far:
Renai Boukun: Funny as fuck don't miss it. Some ugly deformed art but it's on purpose and you'll get over it trust me.
Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records: I was expecting Golden Boy/GTO at Magic High School. Not quite that good but still promising. Good example of magic rules and lore done well (sorry LWA).
Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho: I've only seen the first episode but it was among the best this season once you get past the hilariously bad Guin Saga/Thundercats-esque catman design. Good example of magic rules and lore done well (sorry LWA)[2]. Avoid Horriblesubs' translation as it contains Skyrim memes.
Everything else I either like despite knowing better, am ambivalent about, or dropped. Blu was right most of the really good stuff this season is continuations especially Boku no Hero and Shingeki no Bahamut.

so you dropped uchouten kazoku s2?
That I have not even started.
Wanted to marathon S1 beforehand.
tried renai boukun but it wasn't very funny. only watched the first ep though. i was maybe thinking of trying snb after finishing youjo senki just to see what it's about. i see it advertised a lot but almost no one i know is watching it.
>nyaa goes down
>bakabt also goes down
>AB revokes all invites made in the past day
Where were you when anime died
Being on AB and other private trackers and not a goddamn alarmist. Shame about nyaa but Baka's just down temporarily according to their twitter. They'd gone private anyway and somehow I doubt you had an account. But yeah this is what happens when fucking Amazon decides to join the party. The real loss with nyaa was everything that
wasn't anime.

Gag anime is my favorite genre and I always watch it with friends so that might skew my perception. "Once you see enough things try to be smart and good and fail, you appreciate things that try to be stupid and bad and succeed brilliantly," - friend on our taste in anime.

Watched Renai Boukun..... the first episode makes it seem like harem trash. Made me laugh twice but was otherwise kind of shallow. ON TO THE NEXT SHOW!

also still relatively easy to find the anime you are looking for with magnets, bitche and xdcc. nyaa was nice for convenience's sake, though.

aside from the weird eyes and mouths people can't stop memeing over i find it passable. the first half of ep 11 had some of the best animation i've ever seen come out of a studio debut. i hope the anime succeeds in BD sales because i look forward to seeing what studio nut can grow into. for a studio's first anime, it's more than adequate.
I got about halfway through episode 2 and it just struck me as so fedora-tippingly reddit I couldn't bear it. That and I did find the art pretty hideous but I usually care more about that than animation. Might give it another shot.

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records is actually pretty good but full of the usual tropes... at least in the first episode anyways. On another note, there will never be another GTO or Golden Boy with the current state of anime. The guys making anime are too... Otaku at this point. Going to give it some more eps
Also I did just watch watch LWA up until the current episode! I really like the series but it feels like the story is held back by the lighthearted nature somewhat.
Youjo Senki was the best anime last season! But as I mentioned elsewhere, the frog faces were the hardest design choice to ignore.
It's one you get used to and it especially fits Tanya.

No it's even more full of the usual tropes and cliches than you now know. Run now if you only like Serious and Deep anime.

Plenty of anime are lighthearted and it doesn't hinder their storytelling. LWA is just patronizing imo.

Still a tossup between Urara Meirochou, GabDrop, Akibastrip and Kemono Friends for me. Haven't finished the latter two yet. Kuzu no Honkai and Masamune-kun ended up being like 4-5/10.
ALRIGHTY so I like Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records! Still trope heavy though
Also I will check out Sakamoto desu ga next. That does look interesting.

i'm assuming you're referring to Tanya's interactions with "Being X". if it bothers you that much, he doesn't show up that often - and even though i haven't seen the ending yet, so far i haven't even seen ricky gervais once. it's mostly military porn in what is basically WW2 with magic.

Ya got me.
Sakamoto Desu ga.... Guy reminds me of the P5 protag. Also pretty good
He's a pastiche/parody of that exact archetype yes.

Are you seriously watching softcore anime porn and expecting good writing?
A man has the right to dream! and some do turn out good like.... Maken ki?... or Highschool of the dead? probably
Ok I know Prison School was good.
They're still dumb. Prison School was the only one with any kind of psychological ambitions but it was still pretty stupid.
Always get confused when people are disappointed by softcore anime porn. Like half them want better writing in their big dumb floppin tits show and the other half want less floppin tits in their big dumb action show, failing to realize these thing wouldn't make them more effective at their expressed goal, which is to be as stupid as possible.
Always hilarious to see people get upset about the "artistic integrity" of stuff like Raildex or KlK though. If the show you're whining about has T&A in it, it's probably not the show that's dumb. I mean it is, but so are you. Take up reading literature or something.

Honestly I watch it for the TITTAYS but sometimes the writing is worse than others.... or very boring.
Prison School was stupid but still somewhat unique in its concept... went to places other series never dared to tread and had a different style.
Ah yeah a floppin tits show being boring is pretty inexcusable.
I'll give Nanatsu no Taizai a shot. Probably should have done so before defending it 😏.
so nyaa is gone for good (https://pastebin.com/LEcqX8Pk). while it was the best public tracker out there for anime, there's still plenty of great options besides visiting pop-up infested garbage streaming sites.
1. bitche (https://convivea.com/download.php) torrent aggregator
2. XDCC (https://jdrch.wordpress.com/2014/06/25/how-to-download-files-from-irc-using-xdcc-and-hexchat/) using @find via #news on rizon
3. if you can get into one, a private tracker like animebytes (https://animebytes.tv)
4. magnets or DDLs from horriblesubs (http://horriblesubs.info/) (last resort)
Just been using 9anime lately so no skin off my back really...
it's more for people who don't like streaming sites. i get tired of the constant ads, bad video quality and buffering. i like to watch in the best quality possible
Understandable and I used to torrent everything... just find watching online easier and marginally safer without a VPN.
Plus with Adblock Plus and Disconnect, things seem to go pretty smoothly. Plus I look up decent sites.... Kiss is down the crapper.
eventually streaming sites won't let you access their content unless you disable abp and disconnect seems to do more harm than good tbh i find myself whitelisting sites all the time just to get them to display properly.
also i just saw this link on irc, seems like nyaa alternatives are already budding https://www.acgnx.se/ (https://www.acgnx.se/)
Ah yeah you're right about Nanatsu no Taizai. Its biggest sin isn't that it's stupid, but that it's boring/lame and stupid. It's vanilla. Bikini Warriors was the superior softporn figure commercial.
Guess they can't all be fukkin masturpieces like Seikon no Qwasar or supremely confident in their retardation like Tu Love-Ru or Girls Bravo.
That said, it isn't as sinful as streaming.
watched the first ep of SnB

Yes! Been forever since I watched Tu Love-Ru and man Girls Bravo was the first true Ecchi anime I watched.... AH Memories
Also I like Seikon the most because breast milk, decent action, and every girl has unique tits. IT CATERS TO ALL MY WANTS AND NEEDS
Yes SnQ is truly the Citizen Kane of softcore anime porn.
@rtil (http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) that show is fun as fuck I think you'll like it. Easily my favorite thing MAPPA's done.
I picked up Re:Creators today because of Gigguk's preview and it was surprisingly fun. Apparently it was originally going to be a legitimate crossover between multiple franchises before they decided to go original. Hopefully they actually go somewhere with two cour.
So how are you anime-only types handling the latest episode of Attack on Titan? I can't believe I had to wait 4 years to talk to you about it - at this point the twist is completely irrelevant compared to what's been happening in the manga.
Re:Creators has gotten better I think since the first episode. Hopefully it will compensate for its visual blandness with character. I know the world is supposed to be ours, but the version of Tokyo rendered in Re:Creators is so lifeless and dull even compared to other inverted isekai shows I've seen.

i had to rewind that part just to make sure i wasn't imagining it. that what is (or was) the most talked about secret of AoT being casually dropped in the middle of another conversation was actually well done. i'm not entirely sure whats' going through Reiner's head (and it looks like his buddy isn't either), but he obviously thought it was a good idea for some reason. somehow after all these years i was not spoiled on this reveal, so it came as a complete surprise to me. looking back, there were little hints dropped here and there, but only now does it all come together.
although now of course with this huge reveal only comes more questions.. but that's just how AoT works most of the time.

Yes
Hot fucking damn props to the director of that last ep of SnK, it's the first one so far that has felt as good as an s1 episode and didn't have a garish amount of embarassing CGI. I could use more of this faux cinematic tension building stuff
the cgi in titan is especially bad, i feel sorry for studio wit, they are obviously stretched thin. even a lot of wonky 2d animation outside of the heavy action scenes. definitely made the right call on not having a 2-cour season, it'd be a slideshow by the end.
Hot damn this latest ep of shingeki was literal quality, fucking beautiful, I'm glad the budget went to this ep and I can forgive wit for all the CGI in the beginning of the season.
Is there another ep after this? this latest ep should be about the 11th in this cour
:EDIT:
eleven fucking episodes thanks obama, at least fucking one dude monkey trouble guy was teased at the very end, I look forward to the next season, whenever the hell it comes out.
that was 12 eps not 11
season 3 is confirmed 2018, season unknown - my guess would be fall b/c kabaneri
Is anyone watching Made in Abyss? I really love the style of that show and the last episode was pretty intense.
only seen the first ep but i really liked it
