New season starting this week.
The usual spring drought.Nothing but throwaway fapbait and sequels.
>a detective who does not solve mysteries and does not use reasoning skillsMilky Holmes S5?>possessed by a ninja soul and becomes a ninja slayer, devoted to killing all ninjaBut will there be ninjas?
Not many of the new series look good. Euphonium and Ore Monogatari, I'll be watching for sure, and maybe Kekkai Senken and Arslan for the staff. The new Digimon, if that can be counted as a new series.
I'll be watching Lupin. Plastic Memories sounds like it could be bad, but I'll try it for Dogakobo. Disappearance of Yuki will certainly be bad, but I'll try it for Haruhi.Also, a Gainax TV series in 2015? Aren't they dead yet?
>>50429The dead horse that keeps on twitching.
>>50422Looking forward to Re-Kan.If it's anything less than Natsume with a sexy female protag, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.Also Vampire Holmes, it's been so long since Hellsing Ultimate OVA series ended.... it's about damn time for more vampires. And unlike the split cour Owari Seraph, it probably won't be complete shit. I'll end up watching both of them though.Kekai Sensen looks interesting enough, it's been a while since I've watched a fantasy animu about magical eyes. I doubt it will be anything as great as rental magicka, but it should at least be more enjoyable than 11-eyes.I hope to god Plastic Memories doesn't make me feel like I just read Ai Ren. And then there's the stuff I already knew I was going to watch: DXD and Triage for the glorious tits, Gintama and Lupin for shenanigans, F/SN, GITS, kin-iro mosaic, euphonium, and gainaxe's magical girl show that I've been waiting for for four fucking years it feels like, and lastly, the triGGer ninja show.I'll have to put the reverse harems in my backlog, there's too much shit airing for me to watch it all, and a spring season this good means summer and next winter are going to suck balls and I'll actually start on some of my backlog....Also, if the JC STAFF Druaga knock off doesn't have a main girl voiced by teh rei, it's fucking dropped at episode 1.
>>50431>gainaxe's magical girl show that I've been waiting for for four fucking years it feels likeActually, it HAS been four years.
>>50433good god, you're right!
>>50428I'm looking forward to digimon, I hope it turns out well.
Is the Digimon show a remake or something? I'll watch it anyway, tho.
>>50439I'm pretty psyched.>>50441It's new material, with the original's kids now in high schools.
Re-Kan! delivers! I've not watched Natsume, so I can't make a comparison there, but I enjoyed the protag's (hilarious) interaction with the ghosts.
>>50443The only things that the two shows have in common are the protag being able to see and interact with spirits and the cat is one hell of a badass mofo. One is more of a parody/gag type show, and the other more of a supernatural slice of life.Re-Kan just feels like a 1:1 4koma adaptation, just one gag to the next to the next to the next, with the only break being the 5 main girls to tell the audience their names near the beginning. There is very little in the character interactions outside of setting up the gags, which is a bit disappointing, but I guess there's plenty of time to flesh out the other girls.Well, I knew I was setting myself up to be disappointed when I set the bar at natsume, but the show is entertaining enough so far.
The first episode of Plastic Memories was simply perfect and I recommend everyone to watch it. It could even have been an OVA (ep1 tells a complete story already) and I'd still tell everyone it's a must-see.Let's hope the rest of the series is even remotely as good as this episode.
NOT EVEN 20 SECONDS IN AND IT'S ALREADY DOING THE Ai Ren THING GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
>New gintama.My body is not yet ready.
Keion 2 sucked balls.
Well, pretty much what I expected. I doubt this is going to revive the franchise, but it was watchable, and maybe the best girl can finally be happy.
Photoshop is magic.
Triage X went from shit to hilariously fun in the second half.That lesbian show was way more fun than I was expecting.>>50468Tsuruya is always happy.
>>50469> improvementsdisgusting. You just ruined the best girl.
>>50469why would you do such a thing
>>50470>>50471>>50473What is wrong with you people? Glasses are always better.
>>50474BURN THE HERETIC
There seems to be a bit of a confusion in whether Asuka originally has glasses in the anime or not.She's infinitely better the way she is.
>>50476My mistake then. What kind of fool puts the before picture on bottom and the after picture on top though?
>>50477the same kind of fool that considers no glasses an upgrade
Don't make passes at girls with glasses, lads
Now wait just a gosh darned second, here.Why the fuck is Gintama not under Sunrise anymore?
>>50482too many gundam jokes
>>50483but it's only because they were under Sunrise that they had the IP to do those jokes....there's going to be a HUGE hole in the available jokes now.
>>50486BN Pictures is Bandai Namco so there should still be plenty of Gundam jokes.
Sella got ahead of herself there.
>>50433I wish they'd use crude drawings instead of CG for the far away flying parts, but other than that, I've really enjoyed this so far.
gettin' real sick of this anime original filler bullshit.
>>50506Illya looks pretty cute
>>50507she really is.
>>50502Started watching this, and it's great. Are the original ONAs/whatever they were as good as this? Would you recommend watching them (both in quality and in whether they'll spoil anything for or add anything to this series)?
>>50515They were only 6m episodes and fun enough, what have you got to lose?
>>50516>what have you got to lose? Being spoiled on stuff that's yet to come in the 'real' series, among other things?
>>50517Might want to give it a couple more episodes if you're really worried about it. There's one event at the very end of the ONA that might be a minor spoiler, although by the end of episode 2 of the series, the plot is set up to head to that point soon.
THIS WAS SUPOSED TO BE A HAPPY GO LUCKY SLICE OF LIFE WITH SUPERNATURAL SHINTO-ZODIAC SHENANIGANS GOD DAMN IT
>>50523Floorboar will be back like nothing happened next week.
>>50575It begins
>>50575Kyoani should just explode itself already.
9 episodes in, and finally some new story.that, or the next Arise movie is being spoiled, one of the two.
>>50598
What color Subaru would you prefer?
I have to say, the UBW anime wasn't too great. It adapted the story of UBW acceptably (outside filler), but the story wasn't what made it good in the first place - FSN is all about days-long exposition about the finer points of Servant summoning and autistic mechanical details, along with Nasu's signature style. Without the walls of text, it just doesn't work.
>>50701I moderately disagree.The anime-original filler parts were more sinister than mere filler, they introduced plot holes left and fucking right. The filthy secondaries now, in a completely justifiable way, think that archer actually used a fucking bow and shot arrows.As for cutting out walls of text, that point is rather moot. The problem wasn't removing the walls of text, but "shortening" it to the point where it was Freudian psychobabble conclusions. It was almost as painful as when it happened in Gundam SEED.As far as adaptations go, it was by far one of the most enjoyable I've seen, and UFOtable kept up the beautiful visuals most of way.And we still have an entire episode of epilogue and Tiger Dojo.
>>50702Let him who is without ignorance cast the first stone
Luvia is 2nd only to Sakura.
>>50719So close, yet so far, from that "whore of the year" award, huh?
