There's a bunch of short short stories, but they haven't been animated.
(... Well, I guess there would be be Koyomi History, but that's a bit of a special case, and 'animated" doesn't quite fit either...)

Yeah, i really liked the adaptation overall and for the constraints they likely had to work around, I think they did a great job telling the essentials of the storyline.

I still can't believe that Kemono Friends is still my AOTY so far.
I'm dead serious.

We are living in a post dank memes world, so it doesn't surprise me.

Anime is sure an art form.
I wouldn't disagree.
I can barely differentiate even by that description keeping in mind how she's with Araragi.

Well, Senjou doesn't torture people mentally and physically for her own pleasure...

She enjoyed it quite a bit when she kidnapped Arararagi.
I miss the old Senjougahara antics (and her long hair)

Implying you watched any other show.

Just goes to show how boring most airing shows were to me this past season when it was a CG Narag-em-up that shook things up enough for it to hold my interest.

Just watch MHA and IBO.

Hey. Hey. That's not nice. I may like it, but I'll admit we can do better.
I'd happily take more seasons like this as it is at least better than last season
Last season had Konosuba, Rakugo, and Scum's Wish at least at least.
Also this season isn't terrible. Yeah, there's LN trash everywhere, but this season is decent if you're into action shounen shows.

I like my LN trash (just wish some of them got better adaptions)
but i mean AoT and MHA at the very least is better than anything that aired last season by a far margin.
heck I think records might be above konosuba despite the first episode, but I don't have the love for konosuba people in here do. I think it is a decent show with a few funny moments here or there but nothing great.

Honestly, this season is fine. Yeah there's awful stuff, but that could be said every season.
There are seven shows that are pretty consistently enjoyable to me. (AOT, MHA, Eccentric Family, Tiger Mask W, Tsukigakirei, Kado, Laughing Salesman.)

You're crazy.
Sure, thanks. Anything's better than the constant screaming about Yuri On Ice.
they are really close to each other for me.
and not because I think records is a good show.
unless the next two seasons suck I doubt either will make it in my top 10 anime for the year.
heck two of my top anime for the year aren't even anime right now. but if we can count live action puppets that didn't have origins in japan as anime last year I can't see any reason why we can't count persona 5 and into the badlands as anime this year
where's berserk

What's the point in me watching MHA? All I'm getting is a well animated version of a story in which I already know how it goes, and IBO...sigh...I'll get back to that some other time.
Oh no, sure. I know what I'm doing. I'll take care of those shows. Eventually.
When I'm not feeling like an old, rusted hunk of metal that barely recognizes this community anymore that is.

Armed Girls Mach ep.8
This show continues to be stupid in a highly entertaining way. Not sure who else they are going to throw out there, but at least I can smile at this stupid show while is going...
You don't like watching a thing you already like animated? Different strokes I guess, but I love it, especially when it's by a capable studio.
It's also cool to see how it's adapted and what kinda liberties they take. Mob Psycho 100 was great with this, and MHA s2 has expanded some scenes and added in some bonus chapter stuff in neat ways.

Yea that's what adaptation are. You don't want to watch a super great adaptation of something you enjoy? Seeing characters you like animated in amazing ways with a kickass ost seems like a damn good reason to me. The anime also adds tons of stuff and takes lots of liberties. From class interaction to long fights. People other then me told you it was more then worth it.
At this point you just sound grumpy and closed to everything. Because if we listened to you nobody here should watch half the shows that are airing since they read the source.

It wouldn't surprise me if the mouse cursor was there for real.
Re:Creators 7
Sota is still awful. He's got a purpose now (even a thematic purpose, as his lack of confidence in his artistic abilities ties into the show's larger discussions of creation and storytelling), but he remains an extremely shallow character. I probably prefer the show's expository monologues to any parts focused on him, and that's saying something.
Luckily, with all the characters introduced and most of the rules explained, it's gradually improving. The Creations actually have to interact with each other now, and a few of them (Magane in particular) are mischievous enough to be fun. Maybe it'll get somewhere good eventually.
I'm impressed at how readily these characters seem to randomly run into each other given how big Tokyo is.

Are they allowed to do this?

Not to agree with him that there hasn't been anything worthwhile save Kemono Friends
I don't actually understand people see in it.
If entertainment is more about where the story is going, and the answers to its mysteries and character development, I can understand it becoming boring to watch something you've already experienced, even if it changes mediums. I'd imagine it's a similar problem people have with watching prequels. You know where the story ends up, so why bother?
While I personally still enjoy watching AoT S2 and MHA S2 there is a part of me that's a bit less interested because I know where both end up. The story isn't as fresh or amazing because I've seen it before, even if it wasn't animated previously.
He is you but 3 years in the future.

I think not watching the adaptation of an LN or manga is the same as not being able to read the manga adaptation of a novel or LN. so I can understand. I never hardly ever read the manga adaptations of things.

AoT S2 delivers for the most part and then there's also an excellent second season of Eccentric Family.
2 good shows is above average as far as I'm concerned, so I'm enjoying the season a lot.

Oh WTF... Not this $hit again... Every other fu(king episode..... Come up with another plot device will you, uugghh......

I would need to do a major shift in my taste to sound like this, but I guess we never kbow lol. Hopefully not.
If the source material is amazing, then I don't see how an adaptation of said material could be boring. Like in summer we get Welcome to the Ballroom. I know the story, but boy am I still hype as hell to watch it. I want to see a series I like animated and even if I know where it's going it doesn't have any impact. It just changes the experience. It's like how will they adapt this and how crazy will they go for that scene or I want to hear All Might scream the most bad-ass quote ever. If it's for a lesser series where I just found the source good though, I can kind of agree.

At this point a love interest getting fatally wounded/at death's door and the other person nursing them back to health either with an act of emotional intimacy or straight up getting naked and keeping them warm with their boobs should be a trope.
