It's a shame we have no k-on this season. We might not be able to replicate the moe by day / mecha by night cycle.

I think the 2nd OVA release will be in Jan so Winter 2011? Probably why it isn't mentioned.

Whoever edited my OP did a horrible job.

They need to add (Subtitled simulcasting by Crunchyroll) to Panty & Stocking, Sora no Otoshimono, Fortune Arterial, Ika-Musume, The World God Only Knows and Tegami Bachi 2, (Subtitled simulcasting by Funimation) to Kuragehime and (RAW simulcasting by Nico Nico) to Otome Youkai Zakuro, Little Sister, Star Driver, Tantei Opera Milky Holmes, Index 2, Togainu no Chi and Hakuoki 2.

Not much stuff for me this season D:

I'm going to watch Unicorn ep 2, and probably StarDriver, as Bones has not disappointed me yet
there is no Eureka Seven movie

Guess I could use this time to finally watch Turn A :)

Seems like there might be 2 or 3 watchable series. Though while I found the 1st Yozakura Quarter series good, if the designs (a lot more K-On/Lucky-Star esque) are anything to go by, I am not sure about this "reboot."

Another anime season, another thread of nostalgia bitches crying about how anime was much better in the past.
Click to expand...
The use of the term "nostalgia" sort of implies that those who complain about how anime is now don't actively watch older anime.

I personally find it a bit difficult to watch more than a few minutes of the most anime that aired in the past few seasons. Even just a few years ago, there were probably 5-10+ good (and not just 'watchable') series running at a time.

Of course tastes vary. Someone who would find K-On! or Kodomo no Jikan anime masterpieces (which seems to be a lot of posters in the Summer Anime Thread) would probably have the complete opposite opinion. Though they are no less inclined to state their opinion as facts than "nostalgic fanboys." But more likely to not have actually watched plenty of old anime.

I'd have a hard time understanding someone calling an extremely vapid anime, and a terrible adaption masterpieces.

The hell? Ryochimo's redesigns are a hundred times better than the closer-to-the-painfully-average-Suzuhito Yasuda's-originals that the first TV show had.

I actively watch older anime. Most of it is absolutely horrible and the genuinely great stuff like Anne of Green Gables or Belladona of Sadness is painfully under-appreciated.

Hopefully awesome shit like Star Driver and Panty and Stocking will drown out all K-On nonsense forever.

Also, 2010 won't be complete unless Mirai Nikki comes out in December as scheduled :(

Well I'm pretty sure Vox-Pop thinks K-ON! is a masterpiece. I like the Kodomo no Jikan manga, but I wouldn't call that a masterpiece either. The anime is a piece of crap.

Always assumed he just really enjoyed it and whatnot. I don't think he ever praised it as a masterpiece or something equivalent unless I'm mistaken.

You must have missed those times he did then, but he's an okay guy and isn't too crazy about praising it.

Yozakura Quartet ova looks pretty neat. Good character design really does add a ton.

The TV show looked painfully pedestrian to me.

I hope in the next 10-20 years people will looking fondly back at the 00s because of shows like crest / banner, kemonozume, gurren lagann, monster, mushi-shi etc. And not because of shows like lucky star, clannad, strike witches argh.:lol

Also, i watch old anime. (in fact i just finished maison ikkoku the other day). And i totally disagree with the notion that 80s / 90s anime is objectively better than 00s anime. It's all subjective, although as i watch more anime i kinda flip-flop between what my preferred decade is.:D

Much of the shows I love are from the 00s, but there are some things from the 80s and 90s I wish they still did.

You know, like 19 year olds that actually look 19.

Maybe I have then. I always assumed most of his praise regarding K-On was someone really entertained by it but not crazy enough to say such ridiculousness.

Well, there goes go that. So he did say so. I even posted in that thread too. Must have overlooked the choice of words used.

19 year olds like me are pretty uguu~ these days old man.

You know we're never going to actually talk about anime at this rate. Not that I mind it or anything.

I really don't think it's so much a lack of quality shows in 2000's as it is fan pandering crap filling the gaps. Seems to me that 90's anime, and even early 2000's anime were more likely to try something totally new and not worry about pandering and marketability.

Some 2000's masterpieces for me...
