How are you colouring stuff if it hasn't aired yet??

Looking forward Little Witch Academia, Tales of Zestiria and Chaos;Child mainly. The rest doesn't look very interesting for me, I'll keep watching this thread to hunt a few more series.

Choboraunyopomi Gekijou Dai San Maku Ai Mai Mii: Surgical Friends: Another short that I didn't find amusing. Nothing new for me, maybe it might click for you.

Fate/Grand Order -First Order-: Thought I would be turned off by the animation since it isn't ufotable doing something of the Fate series for once, but Lay-duce still did a great job with the characters, environment, and animation overall. A good adaptation for being based on a mobile game.

why aren't you guys mentioning Kuzu no Honkai :v

lmao, the PV of Kuzu no Honkai is so misleading, the manga itself is so lmao
anyway, I'm also gonna expect some good thing about this series 'cause some of the scenes are :^)

I'm quite disappointed from this anime.

It feels like Toradora but with better graphic and character. *ye I don't like toradora in general

Fate/Grand Order -First Order-: I'm not really convinced to say this was good, it was enjoyable tho. Everything looked great except for battles, although the animation was nice, I feel they lacked the impact to get excited about them. Finally Shinji had a good role! And we had the Hound of Culain stealing the protagonism, again (yay).

Akiba's Trip The Animation: On one hand, there are some solid action scenes in this, but in return, we have slightly dull and undetailed character models. Admittedly not every action scene is great, but it is the few good ones that count and enthrall the user. Beyond that, we have questionable humor and plot, so I'm a bit on the fence but will probably continue watching. (The YuiKaori sadly failed to impress me, but I do slightly like the op since I enjoy Earphones fast singing)

AKIBA' S TRIP: THE ANIMATION: Overall good animation and interesting action scenes. The backgrounds tho were more impressive than the characters, they look more like something you'd see in someone's hentai comic. Most of the plot for the first episode felt like it was at a stand-still and never really got anywhere, but someone who's played the game could probably disagree with that.

Masamune-kun no Revenge: Silver Link's return to a more drama focused series, but sadly the source material isn't that great. I don't remember how the manga went, but it did feel different for better or worse. Regardless, the show's humor didn't really catch on with me, and since I know the manga's plot, nothing about the plot really interest me. However, the show has some fairly detailed backgrounds with Silver Link's typical coloring scheme, and while I said nothing good about it, it didn't bore me to tears. I'll just keep on watching for now (and hope Ogura Yui gets a larger role in the anime version)

Akiba's Trip The Animation - Overall is above-decent I think. The Art is quite funky and matches the surrounding I think. But I can't really see if the Story is good or not in the first Episode, but for now It's above decent cuz' I kinda like every aspect of it but nothing greater for now.


Masamune-kun no Revenge - At first I thought It might me "Oh... Another RomCom Anime?" (Haven't read the manga yet). But after seeing the first Episode of It, It's actually pretty good. The Art is great and most the Characters have this diverse personalities (imo).

Also Totsuka Saika 2.0, I mean like really? Cute boy/Trap is a thing now?... But nonetheless the First Episode is great.


Fate/Grand Order -First Order-- It's actually a great adaption of A Mobile Game. So It's the prequel of the Original Mobile game or some sort (or Fate/Apocrypha)? I don't really play it but I kinda read it a bit and wanted to play it if I have a good Phone... And Lay-duce did a great job here, The Animation is great (still a little bit off than the one by Ufotable, but They did a good job) and plenty of cameos from other Fate series made it fun to watch (Chulainn as Caster really? I don't really expect that lol). It's great overall.

Koro-sensei Quest!, it would be honestly better if they just made a story about Nagisa and others smh.

Masamune-kun no Revenge: I want to really like this, but this feels like it's going to be a show without much meat. It seems like it wants to throw in a bunch of characters from the beginning to get you interested, and then it's going to be super slow through the rest of the series. Main bitch, the loli, and the sister, are the only characters that really catch any interest in me (I already think main dude is a piece of shit), and none of the classmates have any personality to them, maybe they will later, but throwing so many into one episode and trying to make them relevant didn't work too well.

Masamune-kun no Revenge: Generic characters and interactions. It isn't really appealing, but not boring or terrible, probably I'll keep watching as a filler.

Koro-sensei Q!: Oh boy, I'm a hard fan of Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, but this a bit over the board on randomness. Good thing it's a short.

Fuuka: I would probably watch this whenever I'm bored or anything. I like love triangles lel

Akiba Strip - osu needs more Emilia/Rie Takahashi. The ripping off clothes part is fun too but the rest is still not that clear.

Masamune-kun's Revenge - Heard the manga is popular. Anime is pretty interesting and fun to watch.

Seiren - Feels more serious than the other shows this season. Characters are pretty interesting.

Fuuka - Beginning scene was generic but the characters and progression afterwards are quite nice. Enjoyable to watch.

Schoolgirl Strikers - Shame that an entire main cast of famous seiyuus is wasted on this.

Urara Meirochou - Best one so far. Main character is incredibly cute and doesn't skimp on the lewd stuff too.

Seiren - Pretty much if you enjoyed Amagami SS, I guess You'll enjoy this one too imo. Characters are pretty interesting and I like the Art design (obviously It was made by the same creator with Amagami SS too which with Art I liked). But so far that's It in the first episode, kind of looking to the later Episode but I don't really feel like It's that great so far...

Fuuka - First Episode kind of looks like a Generic Highschool Ecchi Anime (I was thinking to drop it, I mean like "Nudist Sisters" really?). But afterwards the characters development do pretty well and I guess It would be a good start for this season imo. And also I have a feeling it will be a good music-themed series later so why not?
(Also I've been spoiled by some guy about later parts, so I really have to watch it until the end lel... Haven't read the manga)

oh this anime will make you cry. :^)
want some spoiler?

I'm really behind on shows for silly reasons, so going to be updating this post a fair bit:

Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel: Since plot is pretty low on my concerns, I actually found this sort of enjoyable with the amazing seiyuu cast, some light humor, and passable action scenes (action scenes have gotten a lot better this season strangely). Admittedly, the detail of the art is sometimes lacking and the CG darkening is really annoying, but I want to see how far it goes.

Youjo Senki: It felt pretty weird to not start of the middle of the LN, but I guess it is nothing new. Yuuki Aoi is again being a magical girl with a bit of dark humor, great animations, and great backgrounds. How the plot will be told, I don't fully know, but everything else seems solid for now

Ao no Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen: Well, not sure why I'm trying to watch the sequal of a series I dropped both in manga in anime form, but here we are. For a shonen action series, this episode is pretty much devoid of action scenes besides a old lackluster flashback. On top of that, there is just a bunch of your typical melodrama that I find pretty boring. At least the animations of daily life and their surroundings are nice, but that is not going to get me to watch the show.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai: A solid adaptation of the light-hearted series. Animations were fine. They captured the jokes correctly. There is really not much to say. However, the art was a bit jarring in the fact that the characters have low detail (like in the manga) and the more detailed backgrounds, creating some weird meshing at times.

Seiren: It's Amagami all over again. Nothing too amazing, but the cast was quite fun and pretty sure I'll stay for the ride. (As long as none of the routes are incredibly boring)

Spiritpact: Like last season, some of the Chinese series are starting to be animated, and well this is the next in line. Sadly this sent very mixed messages, it has some awful animation, laggy frames, and basic art. Nothing to be impressed by there. Plot is incredibly simple and nothing special. The only saving grace of the show are the humorous responses by the MC every so often, but I would probably try to find the source material and read that instead of watching this.

Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari: (For those that have watched the movie, this is just a replay of the 1st quarter of the movie with an op and ending thrown in. From what I can gather, the animation quality on the movie version is slightly better, so watch that version unless for some reason you want to watch the TV version) The next mobile game adaptation, except adapted into a 3 part movie that is further split up into a 12 episode anime series. From watching the movie, I'll say the plot is sort of confusing and probably requires you to play the game, but the action sequences are top notch and worth skimming the show for.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen: Rakugo has never been that entertaining for me. Hearing about the beauty of storytelling is definitely not something I would want to watch.

Urara Meirochou - A Good Light series for this season I guess. Characters are cute (well, They're loli technically) and the comedy might be on par with Anime like Yuru Yuri imo (but with a little spice of Japanese Old Tradition).

Demi-chan wa Kataritai - Ever wanted to know how Demi-Human live a Highschool life? You might interested in this. The Animation are good and the Characters are interesting (especially for the Demi-Humans side).

Masamune-kun no Revenge : super good, cute main characters and cool storyline, the graphic looks a bit familiar to... hmm, maybe... musaigen no phantom, yea. a bit same but kyoani still is the best best (y). looking forward to this anime btw. episode 1 intro is gya.

Havent watched that trickster anime or whatever its name is but seems like its a cool anime, might watch it later lol.

Youjo Senki: Is this suppose to be magical girls? I love war time settings, but what tops this one off is the character design (since they don't all suffer from same face syndrome). Hoping this one doesn't let down with the plot later on, because it seems good for now.

Fuuka: I almost don't want to say that I like it because of how overdone the opening scene is, but I want to see more development of the two mains. Altho I am wondering how long before this turns into a music anime, since desciptions and previews make it seem like it will be, but not sure if that's just something promotional (since I haven't read the manga).

Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-Bu: The backgrounds and bikes are really nice, and the only enjoyment I get so far is based off of that. Poorly animated characters, even the close ups look really bad, what particularly gets me is how sloppy their eyes look. I feel like this wants to be a feel good show, but I don't think it's going to accomplish that for me since I can't look past the characters.

Seiren: Amagami is that you?

Idol Jihen: I really need to stop trying to make sense of this show. A completely nonsensical idol/politics show about the typical happy idol growth (nothing about the dark side of the industry or something like that). Beyond that, the show is mostly okay with passable animations and an attempt to show dancing with fairly decent CG. I probably will drop it, but will be willing to give it another shot.

Nyanko Days: A not funny short about someone with no friends and some cats. No real attempts for humor were made and made me question why I was even looking at the show. If you art of cat ppl, sure watch, but otherwise I don't see much point.

ēlDLIVE: The latest series by the author of Hitman Reborn, and well its aged drawing style really shows. Everything from the art style to plot to action scenes feel like it came from the 90s or early 2000s. Top it off with another loser mc, and you get a show that I don't want to watch.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai: One of the first cute series in a while where the jokes are actually...good. Staying for the good jokes and cute girls.

SUPER LOVERS 2 : When I was so much in love with this and others don't like it lol... The manga is great too, really recommend reading it once in awhile XD

Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitensha-bu: For a moe show, you sort of need moe humor... Watching someone fail normally isn't usually considered cute. I think I laughed like once during this show. It was pretty bad in that regard. The CG on this is fairly clean and solid except for a few weird backgrounds (and not sure about some of the riding scenes). Oh well, nothing really here to make me come back.

Fuuka: Going in, I already disliked the manga, but watching the annoying mc acting like a person without a backbone when he obviously was capable of more than that, was extremely painful and sort of nonsensical. Luckily there were a few bits of humor and decent animation, but I don't think I want to revisit the show. (Not to mention that the anime format slows down the melodrama into an even more painful version that it already is)

Edit: Not sure why, but I read all of Fuuka. It was definitely not as bad as I remembered it, but being able to read a chapter every 2 minutes, allowed to skip past a lot of melodrama that I see in the anime.

Seiren: As a Amagami SS fan, it's no surprise that this got me into it. as long as there's no rushing in the character routes, then i'm sticking around.

Urara Meirochou: I like it so far due to the traditional pace. i also like the jokes shown in the episode which gave me a giggle in the inside, but at the same time it didn't click for me yet. i'm gonna give this a few more episodes before i drop it.

Idol Jihen - Idol with Politics might be the worst idea ever imo, and it's kind of a disappointment to me (I love Idol Anime ever since the original iM@S and Love Live! happens but this is not my thing i guess). The Art is beautiful at least but in every other aspect like characters and story, they are just scattering around imo. Typical Start of a Local Idol make it big, The Dark side of Idol World (sort of), 9 Girls in the Cover... Boy, I can guess It's (probably) ripped-off from other Popular Idol Anime with addition of Politics to make it looks Original. I'll probably drop it, but I might give it a chance with 3 Episode rule...

Little Witch Academia - Trigger strikes again... Been waiting for this series ever since It was announced and the hype is real. And ofc It's not disappointing at all after seeing the first Episode. Characters are interesting and the MCs are lovable. About the story, I can't really say I can see how the story will going so far but It's interesting to know how it'll end. Art is vibrant and funky, reminds you of Gurren Lagann. And Overall is great....

Seiren : A-M-A-G-A-M-I remastered

Urara Meirochou: I almost turned it off about 2 minutes in, but I don't regret watching it at all since the jokes were decent, and the girls are cute. Going to keep watching this one for now.

Little Witch Academia: Really glad this didn't disappoint, I'm excited to see where the story of the tv series goes. Style of the characters and backgrounds still hold up to the OVAs.

Tales of Zesteria the X 2: Keeps going with the 1st part, so liked.

Ao no Exorcist 2: i watched to show years ago, can't remember how it was, but i think it will develop into a very interesting story (with all the god/satan-stuff lol)

Masamune-kun no Revenge : because RomCom

Fuuka : Read the manga. If my guess is right, they will turn about 50 chapters into their 12/13 episodes. But dayum, the story is so ridiculous ..~ will watch the last episode maybe to see.. [cliffhanger]

Demi-chan something - I prefer this angle over what Monmusu did. Was surprisingly fun and flowed well.

Gabriel Dropout - Doga Kobo doing what they do best. Feels just like Umaru again but with even more fun characters!

Gintama. (2017) - I've been thinking to not put it in the list BC It's the continuation of the last series, but whatever. As usual, never once Gintama disappointed me. With the Late-Night slot instead of the usual afternoon slot and Team Yorozuya Gin-chan ended up as the Akiba Branch, The first episode looks even cooler than the previous series and the BGM/Musics used here kind of giving me shivers to listen to (The OP is top notch and the ED is great too). Been looking forward for this ever since It's announced, what a nice year.

Gabriel DropOut - Doga Kobo is the one who adapt Himouto! right? They did a good job for this series, even I thought that Gabriel (in this Anime, not one of the Archangels) is another Umaru. The Characters are quite interesting too.

Gabriel DropOut: It's a more likable and less annoying Umaru, so I'll keep watching since the characters and jokes are actually enjoyable.

T_T so many new series and so little dedication from me. Going to do these really quick.

Chiruran: Nibun no Ichi: Short whose humor didn't work for me

Hand Shakers: Do you want to see bad CG with unsynced animations? Do you like the overuse of wide angle lenses? Do you want to combine all of these things with fanservice? Well this is the show for you then. It was painful to watch by 30s, and I decided to drop by 4min.

Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation: I never liked how they overdramatized the smallest of things. It makes everything that happens in the sport seem really trivial and unimportant.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maidragon: Nothing amazing so far, but it was fun to watch. Seems like a decent enough story of the "demon trying to fit into society" (well, dragon in this case), but it's very obviously suppose to be silly. I don't think Tohru will become as reformed as some may want to expect by the end, but what she is taught seems to stick with her through the time progression in the series like how she learns to wash clothes, but still wants to clean them with her saliva, but it's not like she forgot the next day how to wash clothes.Most of the jokes were at least decent, and a few stuck pretty well.

KonoSuba 2nd season - incredible as always. wednesdays are gonna be awesome.

Kobayashi-san's Maid Dragon - I see KyoAni, I watch. Looks to be a decent slice of life. The jealous lesbian character gets kind of annoying (KyoAni can do so much better than yuri shit, it's like they forgot about Chuunibyou) though the maid dragon thing is a first.

Little Witch Academia: Not exactly sure how I feel about the tradeoff of killing loads of detail to be able to use more complicated animations more often. It came out pretty ugly looking usually to me. Beyond that, I don't understand the appeal of the show, after the intro, we just get flat out bullying for minutes on end with nothing about the bullying to break up the excessive boredom it causes. On top of that, it's jokes just aren't funny. Well like every other season of the show I watched, dropped.

Little Witch Academia - hell yeah. still as great as usual. probably the only one i'll watch on a regular basis.

Seiren - still unsure about this. sometimes it feels like their facial expression doesn't match their voice. on the other hand, it's like amagami meaning surely it won't be another romcom bullshit that's going to end with just being friends so that's a plus.

Gabriel Dropout - unsure about this as well. I did laugh at some of the jokes and there's a sadistic Hanazawa Kana but it's umaru 2.0. Idk I'm probably too old for this, man. can't enjoy neet shows unless it's nhk or something similar. neet protagonists just annoys the hell out of me. shame she was good in heaven.

Schoolgirl Strikers - the story could've been a lot lot lot better. it has two of my favorite seiyuu ffs. nothing really outstanding. everything is average aside from the cast i guess.

One Room: One of the shows where you're suppsoed to pretend you're the mc and interacting with the character, which isn't really my cup of tea. While it is a short, characters and backgrounds are decently detailed at the cost of every scene being a pan, but that is sort of expected
