Now that's what I call nightmare fuel.

Show By Rock!!
Wow those awful 3d segments and stupid s/m action. Dunno how did I survive this. Also this anime has a doctor claw for some reason.
Re-Kan!
Doesnt have much to offer but mc is kinda cute.
Plastic Memories
This anime has too much potential hope they dont screw it up. If it had a manga I would read it immediately.
Denpa Kyoushi
Didnt have any expectations but its kinda good. Gave me a few laughs at least. Gonna stick around for more.

3D looks bad in essentially all anime and if plastic memories had a manga it would probably suck

Shokugeki no Souma - Surprisingly, the fanservice didn't tick me off. Story is good so I could probably ignore the fanservice.

Denpa Kyoushi - First half really was a turn off. Second half is average. We'll see after three episodes if I should drop it or not.

Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka? - Chaika-tier show. Same judgment as Denpa Kyoushi.

Plastic Memories - Good series. Time of Eve vibes.

Fate/Stay Night UBW 2: Makes the same mistake as season 1, meaning it tries to cover up something utterly mediocre with good animation. It doesn't work for me.

Denpa Kyoushi: Otaku GTO? No thanks.

Arslan Senki: First episode looked pretty good, though I'm wary of the CGI and Arslan's design. Still looks promising.

Kekkai Sensen: Best first episode by a landslide. Bones + Nightow deliver for sure. Looks like I'll be in for an awesome ride. Also nice that they brought the black cat from Trigun back.

Shokugeki no Souma: Not really feeling it yet.

Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?: One of those utterly cringe-worthy LN adaptions again.

Baby Steps 2: I missed it, so it's good to have it back.

Owari no Seraph: Waste of time.

Disappearance of Yuki Nagato: While Moe Yuki can be fun to watch, that's pretty much the only thing it has going for it. Everything else is just too bland, though the original wasn't much better either.

Show by Rock!!: The 3D was out of place and very odd. The episode felt like it was all over the place and didn't have much plot.

Kekkai Sensen: More pls now

DEnpa Kyoushi has the problem that it fills the same niche as Assassination Classroom and will need to try to not feel the same.

Owari no Seraph could either become a shitty 'macabre for kids' show like Tokyo Ghoul or standout on its own. looks like the former atm.

Unconvinced on Kekkai Sensen

Show by Rock: Wow this show was everywhere in both plot and art style. From typical semi 3d anime shading, to a realistic CG city, to a very flat 2d popup ending scene. While I thought the action scenes were pretty bad, we had the ginga bishonen singing in a band with rainbows and stars. And then, there was more singing. I'll give this show another ep before dropping.

Arslan Senki: I usually don't like adventuring series because they usually have a naive protag who is "discovering" new things while he fights with ideas like racism and other forms of bias. This show is no exception. It would be passable if the protag cut in some jokes or if this was a jrpg with some plot and user interaction, but this has neither.

Kekkai Sensen: Wow this is one of the best Bones shows I have seen in ages. Stylistic attacks in the style of older super heroes mixed with solid animation and backgrounds. I am not exactly caring much about the mc, but that can easily be overlooked when everything else is so interesting.

I don't know which version of Yuki Nagato is more boring.

Woohoo! Time to forget about the outside world and the fact that I don't have a girlfriend so I can watch romance anime/play eroge (best relationship advice out there) hoping to become a Harem King

Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic: Yay! Exactly what I need when it comes to funny slice of life Animes. Doing a good job as season 1.
Nanoha Vivid: Pretty good so far, I really enjoyed all the Nanoha stuff so far and grew a liking to the characters. Glad to see that Vivio is getting the attention now. Promising
Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon?: It was okay, but I'm not sure about this one yet. One scene in particular threw me off. Let's see how well it will go in the next episode(s).
Denpa Kyoushi: Okay I guess, can't say much about it, only that the animations are mediocore and that it reminds me of GTO lol

Wut?

Ace of Diamond S2 looks to be alot like Kuroko's B'Ball with just repeated game after game I don't know whether this season is going to be as long as season 1 but if so 1 episode really indicates nothing.

I personally prefer Nanoha over Vivio so I guess I'm waiting for Einhart to join the group since Jeremiah won't be appearing very soon. I hope Vivid is testing the waters for a Nanoha Force adaption since I think it'd make a much better anime.

Arslan Senki
Well its a positive neutral. Story somewhat has a potential and I like medieval era history genre. Dont like the MC that much but Ill follow the show. Also a little fact, the word arslan comes from old turkish. It means lion (MC could no way be compared to a lion though.)

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu
Oh noes!..

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu: What?

As someone who didn't at all care about Yuki Nagato did fans of her actually impose that kind of personality on her blank slate of a character from the original show? I guess I have a friend I can ask next time I catch up with them.

I actually don't like her being moe tbh, it takes away the reason I liked her.

You miss the point. At this point there's no point in calling her Yuki Nagato she is pretty much a coincidentally lookalike character.

There's always the original Haruhi Suzumiya series if you want the original character.

The setting is based on the alternate universe depicted in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, in which Haruhi Suzumiya never formed the SOS Brigade. The series follows Yuki Nagato, who in this world is not a stoic alien but rather a shy and tentative girl, as she develops feelings for her fellow literature club member, Kyon.

She's supposed to be different from the original series.

nty Kuuderes are nearly as bad as Yanderes.
I can't even remember what she was like in the movie but this version of her just seems like a odd point to promote the series on.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka: Nothing to say much, the story look alright, nothing extraordinary, I'll wait to see the development.
Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu: Ok... So I'm a big fan of Tabigawa Nagaru, I really loved the concept of Haruhi Suzumiya, and the developpement following the anime(if you read the light novel) is really good in my opinion, so I decided to read Nagato, since she was one of my favorite character, upon reading it I was a bit dissapoint but still eager to see what they would do with the anime, I was totally dissapointed, I watched this in my bed with my laptop two consecutives days and had to watch it thrice since I fell asleep on the two first attempts, I'll give it another two episodes, but I think this will be a downer overall :c .
High School DxD BorN: Does what it has to do, came for fan service with a decent plot, got me what I came for, The development or the first two season looked better though will need to see more.
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku: This one, I was told by a couple of person it was good, so since it was airing a second season, I decided to watch the first season yesterday then watch the first episode of the second one, overall, it is ok in my opinion, the thing I prefer is the main character, his personality is really nice and quite unique(not exactly but you get the point), but the first episode was stale in my opinion.

Overall: Really disappoint yet, because dungeon, my friend overhyped this so much that I found it ordinary, but I assume it'll developed to something good, at least, I hope, and the only thing that isn't really disappointing for me is High School DxD, because they have done what I though they would. hope the rule of three will make is way and I won't have nothing to trash this season.

Hibike! Euphonium is really going to depend on where it's focus lies, If it chooses just the band or romance or so other drama I don't know.

I understand your opinion but oh well.

Highschool DxD BorN - Boobs boobs and boobs. What's not to like? Typical DxD with its fanservice that isn't terrible.

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu - Enjoyed it as much as the manga. Good adaptation.

Show by Rock - Not my cup of tea. Did not like the music and the transitions. Not really appealing.

Hibike! Euphonium - I don't think something important has happened yet but it was an alright episode. I quite don't like the protagonist though. Typical KyoAni as well. We'll see.

Hibike! Euphonium: For the concept of the show, the first episode went how I expected it to. The protag doesn't seem too strong atm but whoever that black haired girl with the glasses is I'm all about her :U

Kyoukai no Rinne: I really liked the manga so I feel like I might be a bit biased for liking the first episode so much already.

Not in the mood to do more detailed descriptions why I like them.

I agree with Green Platinum. I do understand it is a spinoff, but if they're going to completely flip how Yuki Nagato is then they might as well make a different character.

Kyoukai no Rinne just feels impatient in it's pacing the first episode felt like it should have been two or three.

Arslan Senki: Reminds me of Magi, but the first episode wasn't really appealing. Might be interesting later on though.
Highschool DxD BorN: Like the prequels it is pretty much okay, but nothing so exciting either. I'm not a fan of huge tits so this throws me off at times. Koneko saves it.
Plastic Memories: Yes please. So promising and I really enjoyed the first episode. Animations are tidy and do look good. The plot is interesting and calls for some deep feels later on. The mixed in comedy was also really good. High expectations here!
Show By Rock!!: The music was good and it has a damn speaking heart-shaped pink guitar. I found it pretty cute, although I wasn't really a fan of the 3D. I don't expected anything really good from this, but it seems enjoyable at least.

Denpa Kyoushi: I read some of the manga a long time before. Anime is alright now for now.

Sound! Euphonium: nice ED, I might map it. the show itself i don't find living up to the standards of chuunibyou, amagi park, etc.

Wow, 2000 posts!!

Are you suggesting those are among the best KyoAni shows?

Will probably end with Koneko's fanservice happening in fights and ad breaks exclusively. Considering both happened in the first episode probably half of the seasons' Koneko fanservice has happened already.

I think so, yes. Less Asia more Koneko please! :c
I might add that Xenovia is also okay, despite having... more...

And just get rid of Akeno she just brings the show down.

Gintama 2015: If you've liked the past series for Gintama you'd prolly like this one. It's Gintama idk what else there is to say about it.

Kyoukai no Rinne
At first I checked it out only to hear lovely voice of Inoue Marina but its actually a good anime. Every joke worked for me and overall music is great except for the ED.

Hibike! Euphonium
This was the anime I was most hyped up aside the new digimon one. OP was wayy too generic for this type of anime. ED was similar K-on ones. But I like it very much. It has the usual Kyoani lighthearted feel to it and I see this as k-on but one step above.

Sorry pretty far behind.

Hibike! Euphonium: I really hope this more k-on like rather than a romance series. Right now it sits in some inbetween state that is somewhat funny and somewhat awkward more serious character relations

Kyoukai no Rinne: I am pretty sure this show is not for me. I didn't laugh much at the jokes or the scenarios, and instead was more annoyed by the low budget action.

Takamiya Nasuno Desu!: Teekyuu Spin-off: A low budget not very funny 2 minute short.

Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic: I needed a moe show this season. Not as good as rabbit cafe, joke-wise, but it'll do

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu: I just treated this as a unique series altogether because I never cared much about haruhi. With that said, the show was okay, some of Kyon's remarks were funny, but they got stale quick.I have some hope in it, but not too much.

Triage X: The low budget HotD. HotD like action/cast with some unfitting CG, and a random burst out of song + bad dance. Pretty much what you expect from this series. Not sure if I want to follow how ridiculous it is, but it delivered as expected.

Gunslinger Stratos: Pretty hard to rate it yet but at least it was not boring, waiting for ep2.
Hibike! Euphonium: Has potential. But somehow I can't really take a liking to the characters yet. They seem so bland. The ending song, though, really nice one.
Kekkai Sensen: No idea what exactly is going on, but it didn't have an impact on me at all. Is it just me or is the main character already really annoying? ;_;
Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu: Nein!
Seraph of the End: Ja! I didn't expect this straightforward dystopia at all. Crazy exciting first episode already.
Triage X: Ok, nope. Alone the deluxe breasts are painful to endure. The animations are pretty low-budget on top of that. Not my cup of tea. The opening and ending song are good though. Kind of a waste.

Finally posting about some stuff here. Not wholly caught up and I don't intend to be, as there's a lot of stuff I'm just going to wait on this season (too much stuff is airing).

Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka? - I get the joke, it's like an RPG world. Okay. Where's the actual hook? Why is everyone super bland? Yawn. Next.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku - Already liking the direction this is going more than the previous season. The writing's more focused and briskly progressing (apparently they're rushing through the 7th novel here, which I don't mind since the show got way too chatty last season), and the animation's a lot better. We'll see how it goes, because I ended up lukewarm on the end product last time, but we'll see where it goes from here.

Plastic Memories - Only problem I had with this was some ill-timed jokes (especially right at the end). Otherwise, it's an intriguing premise that's doing world building right (showing us various situations of ways a retrieval can go wrong instead of going super in depth with each one to have it drag, no boring monologue of "As you know, this is how the world works...") and already tugging for the heartstrings in a genuine way. We'll see where it goes, as it's walking a thin line at this point, but I'm hopeful! This episode was great, though, and the premise (especially from the first line of the episode) has the potential for lots of introspection and social commentary. Kinda getting a Time of Eve vibe on this, but again, we'll see how it goes.

Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - New cour of ufotable's F/SN UBW! And it opens up with a really chatty first half and a second half that recaptures what I love about the show: bombastic, lavishly-animated battles with its ever-shifting intrigue and loyalties present during it. Only a blue for me since I feel as though this is not the best episode to introduce the cour with, this is the way they should've ended the first cour.

Hibike! Euphonium - Whoa, I like a KyoAni moe show? That's weird. But there's a lot of filmic cinematography, great attention to detail in the ensemble (especially in the piss-poor quality of the high school band, having been in and around some pretty awful wind ensembles in my day), the moe archetypes aren't grating, and the lead character is pretty neat already. It has more momentum than your K-ON!s and whatnot, but that's not a detractor here, that's just more intrigue as to what's going to happen. It's calming while still being intriguing, and it's my low-key pick for the season.

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku - Lead character's annoying, but gets some great jokes. We'll see if she gets better. Otherwise, the schtick of ~super special high school~ has been done to death at this point but they're really trying to make it engaging. Comedic timing in the show's good, so it's one of those that I'm very much on the fence about.

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku: I just hope the protagonist doesn't behave that way every girl she meets across the whole series. I'm also glad I didn't read any plot summary before watching it.

Houkago no Pleiades: Glad this finally as something to build on those OVAs from a while ago. Too bad there's mahou shoujo hate.

Ore Monogatari: Protagonist is such a bro.

Triage X: Pretty much what others have said

Ghost in the shell arise: Either will bomb or be hugely overrated

Re-Kan - Unfunny and bland.

Arslan Senki - Really dependent on the following episodes. It could go either horribly bad or great enough. For now, it's kind of generic.

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku: The lead character is much more annoying than she is funny, but I liked the fight scene. My following of this show will rest on how I feel about the mc and the fights later on in this series.

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku - Much like Kancolle and MCActors, i'll prolly still watch this even if it goes bad.. dat Houkago Stride tho.

Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu: I did not expect this to become an anime, why did this became an anime? I'm having strong mixed feelings about this... spin-off, it just doesn't feel like what one would expect from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Then again, KyoAni isn't behind this). It just feels like a romantic comedy that's played out, but that's just from first impressions. The biggest problem I'm seeing is that Nagato isn't Nagato, she even wasn't like this in the movie:
She was more shy and nervous in Disappearance and it feels wrong to fans of Nagato (Like myself). I know Haruhi S3 won't be bad! I'll continue to wait for it... It's never coming, isn't it?
