Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Season 2
These are the most vaguest people on the planet. We all know that these two girls like Hachiman but are both afraid to say it because it would ruin their status quo. But even Hachiman in his damn head is speaking super vaguely about it all that it's super confusing. This whole season has been actually rather confusing. I wouldn't blame anyone for not knowing what the hell all this drama is about, or why there is a strain in the first place.
Also this didn't feel like a final episode of a season. It felt like a middle episode, with more to come next week. I don't know whether there's enough book content left to make another season but here's hoping. If not I'll just keep reading the light novels.

Hm... I thought it was one of the most boring shows I've seen so far. The music was pretty good though.

Your Lie in April 9-10 [REWATCH]
Oh man. Them visuals. That character development. That music. Just keeps me wanting to watch. But it is now 1:40 am and I need to wake up early for work tomorrow. I am completely sucked back in. This show is just amazing.

Go go Kinmoza!
DVD more than BD? Makes sense fujo power.
Show By Rock is one part magical girl (not as much as you might think), one part shounen action, one part band competition, one part drama, one part moe slice of life. Its a bunch of things together.

Is this thread only about current shows or all anime?
all anime
I'm not completely sure how that all meshes together, but you mentioned moe slice of life so I might as well give it a try. Thanks!

Alrighty. Thanks.
May I ask the regulars here when does Darker than Black pick up? I'm 2 and a half episodes in and I don't find it all that intriguing.

All anime talk is welcomed here.
I incline to think that was what saved it from being rock-bottom.
Although like most anime trend it kinda died out after a while.

Your avatar has already captured the absolute peak of animation, there's no need to discuss more.
Except like half of the shows this summer lmao
It's still strange. Maybe the craze died out before Blu-rays were available?
lulz
Toei > Bones
For the most of its run, the series continues the pattern of self contained 2/3 episode story arcs sprinkled with some main character backstories and especially Hei's past. The main storyline doesn't really begin in earnest till eps 15/16 and is then finished in the last few episodes. The ending is all kinds of bullshit so I'd say if you're not feeling it by end of episode 6 (one of better arcs that introduces some important characters and Hei's backstory), drop it.

Thought Danmachi would sell more due to it's popularity.

God damn.
Once again, the situation just keeps getting worse.
God damn.
Akemi's long, drawn out, undignified death scene was painful to watch, especially when Shuji tried to prop her up with her blood sticking to the sheets. Tetsu's dead, Chise looks as if she's going to level an entire city to kill four people again (why doesn't she just blow them up like she did that wall last episode?) Atsushi is realising the true horror of war, with his friends dropping like flies - I'm betting now that he lives, only to go home and find his town in ruins and Akemi dead. Or maybe he'll just get shot. Or get caught in one of Chise's attacks.
Once again, the situation just keeps getting worse.
It was an above average anime comedy with a likable cast.
Also I'm a hipster so the fewer people who watch it the more I like it.

Nisekoi sold better than Stalker predicted. I fear a third season.
Well for what its worth I dig it already so youve got good taste.
I watched Nekomonogatari: Kuro.
It wasn't as interesting as Bake and had way too many cat puns,but it was alright.
Will take a break from the series for now,but I'm planning to watch the rest at some point.
I'm also watching Kekkai Sensen.
It has a cool premise,but after 5 episodes I don't really care about anyone so far,which is kind of a big deal for me.
After that I'm not sure what I should watch next.
Here is my myanimelist anime list
My PTW list is pretty damn long and I have a few series on hold as well.
I should probably also rewatch Neon Genesis Evangelion,because I was very young when I watched the series for the first time.
The things,I kind of don't want to,because it's Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Than again I liked the rebuild movies (except for 3), so maybe I will like the series more than I think.

Also I'm glad not watching eps 11 yet

Am roughly 17 episodes into Mushi-shi and am thoroughly enjoying it. I have to say though, this anime has some major same-face character design. Fortunately the episodes are independent from one another and introduce a new story and new characters each time, so it doesn't really matter.
It's kinda bound to happen with an abstract art style lacking in detail and actually giving most people black or brown hair. Still, every episode I keep thinking "yep, it's this face again!"

will it ? the guy is basicly the main antagonist , on a spiral of vengeance ready to sacrifice everything and anything to achieve his goals.
If he doesn't die, i'll be disapointed , forgiveness is OUT OF THE EQUATION ALREADY.
i just want a glorious sword battle , suikoden 2 style before his death.
didn't notice that , but i did notice , the lack of detail on many things , especially on the background that weren't there on the previous episodes...mixing 2D and 3D when neither is detailled enough , make for quite average scenes.
Indeed , that's very disapointing , especially for this anime.
I'll get it too.
THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.
Magical warfare starts poorly , but still ok , promises to get better and then drop the ball in the most anti-climatic way possible.I trusted this show to do something simple, it said "ok" but they burned trhough so much book material, so fast , so poorly , so badly animated i have no words how bad magical warfare is... a glorious waste of time
494 for Etotama
Sad indeed , the initial reception didn't get to the japanese viewers
1. Yay for Yahari, glad it's doing well.
2. Kekkai Sense did super well, I'm shocked.
3. Owari no Seraph did way better than expected (was expecting a huge flop) considering the Amazon tracking for it. From what I hear, yaoi fans usually don't buy from Amazon, so maybe that's why.
4. Considering Hestia fever, DanMachi did mediocre sales. It's Chaika all over again. At least the novels had a severe bump in sales, but Yahari did the same and managed to have good anime sales as well.

Damn at those Etotama sales numbers... has there been a Plastic Memories BD release yet?

Do we know if its bumping the manga?

First and foremost you must watch Clannad After Story. You finished S1, but now the adventure truly begins.
Then Grisaia & Grisaia S2. Then Etotama. Then Kanon.
Then you need to add and watch Cross Ange for the trainwreck and entertainment.

It sold less than 2.7K on BD, we won't know the exact number until later.

You're trying to say that all Japanese people look the same?

Uggh, that is unfortunate..
Oh, whaaaaat? Hopefully DVD sales were higher than that...
But at least it isn't 494.
Go Princess Precure 21
How can something so intense be so boring? Shut was the only good part of this. That and Twinkle being a boss. That backstory is weak. Personification of despair kidnaps princess and brainwashes her. Tragic, but I don't particularly feel anything. We're just told Towa's struggles, so we barely get a sense of what she was apparently failing to do. And as a character she didn't earn a redemption. Actually that's my main problem for this episode. The show hasn't earned any feels, and sob stories just fall flat because I don't care about Kanata, and Twilight hasn't really been developed beyond evil princess. Instead of her learning something, or at least having some moral beaten into her, she's just shot with rainbow hope and everything's good. Well Kanata got stuck behind, who cares? Eh, maybe Scarlet will inject some life into this show and make it something other than by the numbers. But I'm not confident.

Dunno, real people don't have strongly abstracted facial features (and thus less detail) because they're.. well real people, right?
From your to watch list you should prioritize these:
Byousoku 5 Centimeter
Ping Pong The Animation
Shin Sekai Yori
Space☆Dandy
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Texhnolyze
Didn't see all of Mushishi or Rourouni Kenshin but they are well regarded.

I think Mushishi has at least 6 different faces. Maybe 7.
Nisekoi? For sure, but also the waifu merchandise is selling like crazy. Nisekoi will get a season 3 for sure and more it is a goldmine

And you say I have bad tastes. HA!
I don't think I've seen a more half-baked anime like Gatchaman Crowds since I saw Fractale.
That still doesn't fill me with confidence, but at least the sales numbers aren't definitive. I was under the impression that Plastic Memories was fairly popular based on Isla's position on that chart a few days back, but then again Danmachi didn't do brilliantly either and I thought that was popular too.
