Summer 2013 anime general

[Bamyasi]

What have you picked up this season?

[spoiler]I'll post mine once I catch up with all the pilots.[/spoiler]

I hardly recognize any of these shows. <_> I did read the manga with Kuroki and I find her nauseatingly cute, I'd probably watch that.

[rtil]

Servant X Service - because I liked Working!! and I won't get a season 3, so this will have to do
C3-bu - only interested because it's Gainax
Free! - because it's hilarious and i can't pass up KyoAni
Watamote - hoping it will be funny, not expecting very high production values though

not a lot i was interested in this season. i am anticipating having at least double the pick-ups in the fall. other than that, i'm still watching SnK and i'm looking forward to whenever the Gargantia OVA airs.

original character dont steal plz
ff7 never existed

i'll probably only watch watamote

[soup]

oh fuck futari wa milky holmes must see

ive only been watching hajime no ippo recently, coz although its kinda old its super cool

[Gilthwixt]

Definitely picking up Silver Spoon, it's amazing how good a manga about farm school can be.

Can't believe they're turning A Town Where You RAGE into an anime. Ugh.

Might pick up Watamote to see what all the fuss is about, and I might give C3 a shot since it's Gainax/Survival Games without gore, but overall this season is looking disgustingly moe. After following SAO and AoT I need more killing stuff with swords.

Having watched the original, I'll be watching the new Rozen Maiden series / remake. The art and animation is very top notch, better than a lot of things I've seen as of late. But the story? I'm not sure where they're going, the first episode was literally around 2/3 of the entire original series condensed into one episode, it was weird. Unless they break into a more linear story, I wouldn't recommend it unless you saw the original, as much there is a lot that you wouldn't understand.

servant x service, genshiken nidaime, free!, and monogatari

reached for opinion: "yay anime"

[zwimmy]

On average I watch about 0.25 anime from the current season.

Too much old stuff to catch up on that is way more interesting, lol.

[Roymaster]

The World God Only Knows
Watamote
Bake
Milky Holmes
probably Free, Silver Spoon, Gatchaman Crowds

Not bad, though Fall looks to be where it's at

[Bamyasi]

oh fuck futari wa milky holmes must see

I find it extremely distressing that no one has subbed the first episode yet. That's the last pilot I have on my list to watch, and I can't make any decisions before then.

aaaaaa I still havent watched Titan. Gotta give it a lookie. Might watch the new Rozen Maiden. Might give Free a glimpse since it might be funny. That girl with the dark under her eyes looks familiar might look at that. That Gainax one looks pretty uninteresting to me sadly.

Gainax is dead

[rtil]

c3 is cute and well made but if you didn't know it was gainax beforehand you definitely would never guess.. there are some remnants of the "house style" but the trademark mannerisms and animation style is gone

[Bamyasi]

I finally had time to catch up on all the pilots. So many exiting and innovative shows this season. I'll be watching all of them. It was really busy for me this past month, but thankfully now I'm unemployed so I can finally focus on the important things.

Which leads me to a terrible idea I had. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a totally ironic livestream show where we could meet at irregular intervals, watch currently airing anime and try to be funny. I'm just gauging interest right now so please tell me if you think this is a good idea or not and I'll be sure to do it regardless. It will be just like watching anime alone in your room, except silly comments will appear on screen so you can feel the warmth of human connection while you sob quietly into your pillow. I'll probably start a poll sometime tomorrow so I can vote on the shows I'll be watching by myself in the livestream (but you can come too) so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Goodnight, everyone.

okay

[rtil]

i can't promise i'd be able to tune in to all of them or give them my full attention, but i'm sure you could get a decent number of people in on them
