What you guys opinion about 009-1? Is this show worth the watch as I just saw the trailer for it and it did look fine and kinda like spy vs spy show once a while.
 
Hey guys

Firsy AnimeGAF post

Just started Rokka. First episode sucked me in but it already seems like the show is going off the rails

I dunno. Gonna stick it out since its the only new action/fantasy anime this summer

Unless you guys have any other recommendations.

Welcome friend!

Rokka is great. The first few episodes introduce the characters, the true mystery drama only begins after episode 3 or so. From this season, if you are looking for some more stuff, I'd recommend Gangsta, God Eater, and maybe even Charlotte if you are looking for some high school setting stuff. You also have Shokugeki no Soma which is a favourite amongst us here and has been running since last season.

I dropped the show after EP 4 after the initially interesting mesoamerican setting turned out to be mostly irrelevant, but from what I heard it becomes kind of a mystery series a bit after that, so I might pick it back up later if I feel like it.

In order to recommend you shows, it'd be good to hear what genres and kinds of shows you like, and also whether you can stomach lots, little or no fanservice.

The individual characters are certainly the highlight

Im caught up to the latest episode(damn cliffhangers) and i kind of like our main... Seems yo have enough layers (though the strongest man thing... Wtf)

Flamie.... Not diggin her.. Should have come up.with a different backstory and theme.

Princess Piena (forget trying to spell her actual name) started off amazing and then quickly became lame.... I really hope she gets some fire back in her belly.

Goldov is lame at face value but is generating interest and suspicion which is cool. He seems like he has ample motivations and opportunity to do bad things to get what he wants while stil trying to maintain his current perceived image. I have no evidence of this.... Just a feeling

I migh cover the others in another post. Clearly im invested enough to write all this

Hey, first AnimeGAF post as well!

I watched Rokka's first episode way back when it was released. I liked it, but not to the point I'd watch weekly. So two days ago I decided to go back and while I agree with you about the episodes that follow, around episode 4 it gets way better. I'm not sure where the plot will go after the current events, and if I'll like when they change focus, but the mistery right now it's quite nice.

As for other recommendations, watch Shokugeki no Soma. It started last season, but it's still the best among this season as well, imo.

Charlotte 8

Yeah, that was kind of weak. Too much comedy following last episode, and the triggers didn't hit Yuu hard enough. Weird coincidence that he just happens to run into the vocalist.

Shimoneta 8

Rule 34 says that there is a porn version of everything. I don't know if there's a rule that says everything can be used for porn, but the concept seems related. The super-trained and gifted seem to be even easier to fool than regular people oddly enough. Anna is still the best part. Good with a knife, yet vulnerable to toilet paper. Kosuri is kind of a dick(head).
 

foxuzamaki

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Rinne no Lagrange episode 7
Lan wouldnt have gotten naked infront of them when they're clearly nowhere near a bath if it isnt more than what she's claiming. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ah you are caught up then, you do seem to like your anime aha.

Hey, first AnimeGAF post as well!
And another wild new member appears. Welcome aboard, enjoy yourself some nerdy anime discussion. Just remember that whatever anime is your favourite, it will always be shit. Other than that you will be fine :)

Rokka delayed due to baseball. Will be released tomorrow at 3:30pm.

Good stuff thanks. Something to fill that void made by GE this week. Guess I'll watch episode 2 of Gate today. I seem to have judged the show the wrong way, but I'm willing to give it another try.
 
About 3/4 done of Wolf Rain TV show and man...still liking it so far. I like how almost every main and secondary characters in the show (wolf and non wolf) have a decent background story of they life. Even the bad guy who keep on hunting the wolf have a very sad background story to the point you kinda feel a bit for the guy Love the music that is been used in this show that I am now put it in my mp3 player to listen. I do hope to finish the show soon in few days so I can go to the OVA of the last 4 episodes.

That's Yoko Kanno for you. Watch a show with her as composer and you'll have at least three songs in your MP3/ Ipod by the time you're halfway through the show.

Haha thanks for the welcome

I love anime but i always end up hating most of it. Its not like this problem doesnt affect every medium ever though so I keep an open mind
 
Durarara X2 20

Just when you think DRRR is done introducing characters, lo and behold we have another batch in this episode.

That in mind, being a new character doesn't save you from Izaya's trolling. Been a while since we've seen him troll so many people at once.

Durarara x2 20

I can't stay mad at you, Izaya. It seems like Izaya has a crazy strong posse now and next episode seems to be about him too. Hopefully this whole arc is about him since he's was gone all last arc.
 
Gate 02
Well shit, gotta hand it to the guys who told me I was wrong about Gate. I liked what I saw this episode. The fact that the cast is made up of adults makes things interesting too since pretty much every single show out these days only features high school kids. I'm down for more. Sigh, once I'm all caught up, that's another show to add to the weekly queue. 12 shows. My lord.
 
Charlotte 08

I can do it! Once me there you!
I can´t do it! Not the side there you!

Jeez, at least try to write some coherent lyrics.

Aside from that, I thought this was a good episode, yes there has been a lot of Yuu X Nao shipping but I don´t really mind it since they actually make a good couple.

Yeah, just like with games, TV shows and movies you can expect a vast majority of anime shows to be generic works that don't do anything particularily interesting. Still, there's often enough variety that you can probably find at least one decent show that you like per season.

It also feels like this thread chronicles my descent from watching shows for all ages, to series that use fanservice (KLK, Monogatari), and finally to things that I probably won't be coming back from (Oreimo, To-Love-Ru, Shimoneta and My Wife is the Student Council President)...
someone save me
 
Aoharu x Kikanjuu - 08

That doctor is cruel. Not only did he shit all over his pride with that act, it also most likely physically hurt a ton at that close range.
Seeing the justice bloodlust mode finally kick in was great. They set the mood well, and the transition with the wings and the birds was nice. When the air started to tremble and the particles spawned I thought she was going to go full Rasetsu or something.

I'm not gonna lie, I actually prefer what happened in the end, as it will make (I assume) one great revenge at the end. I'm glad I stuck with the show past the initial first, fairly uninteresting episodes. All the games have been enjoyable.
Also there is A LOT of eye shots in this show, and this episode assuredly had the most so far

Classroom*Crisis ep.8
I realized when I turned my Vita on that I forgot to finish this episode last night. I was actually a pretty good episode that deepened the corporate conspiracy story against A-TEC and proved, once again, that Nagisa really is on A-TEC's side now. The unfortunate part is it looks like Nagisa just totally blew off Mizuki and Iris for that matter. The script says this show has romance, but I doubt that's happening with only 4 episodes left. Angelina and sensei need to hook up, but you know it's Mizuki that really likes Nagisa.

Classroom Crisis has had its ups and downs but I think episode 8 was pretty good. I'm hoping for a strong finish.

Gate 03
So this oracle girl kicks total ass. The animation looked so fluid as she danced through the night taking the bandits out. Pretty noble effort seeing the military forces helping out the refugees, which ultimately got attacked by the dragon in the end. The last scene was pretty well done, with beautiful lights and a tinge of sadness as they all mourned the people's death. This show is really friggin good. Also the fact that the elf, which had her clothes removed because of the medical examination, got up naked after being passed out for so long with all the ruckus from the dragon fighting, and there were no anticlimactic blushies or nosebleeds from any of the male (or female) cast members as she tried to tell them in her language to shoot the eye, now that was awesome. They kept the moment tense, there was a bigger threat in front of them with people dying, there was no time to react to her lack of clothes. They just immediately changed tactics and drove the dragon out. Bravo.

Charlotte ep.8
Wow, that was a great episode. So many thing happening that totally embed you in the story further. Little things like Yusarin's pose in the video with her arms up matching Ayumi's arms high pose from opening, damn..
Holy shit at that foreshadowing from Sala,the lead singer of Zheind, there is a HUGE connection with her (IMO) it's comments known. Lind people have better awareness of their surroundings by building and using their other senses, but she took it one step further
not just in the session with Nao's brother (the miracle) but in reading her surroundings and the feeling of those around her. Is that what she traded her eyesight for?
there is something more to her. Now, is regard to the whole Nao x Yuu thing, goodness, can you imagine how great Angel Beats could have been if they added this type of relationship development in for
Otonashi and Kanade
. Great way to bring them together and as Sala cleared called him out on, he is finally putting someone else and their wants/needs in front of his own. This also goes directly with his comments/regrets about not paying Ayumi back for her thoughtfulNess and kindness. Excellently written episode for one with a lot of growth and development for characters, ships, and story. Now next week I bet we are going to get more info on Sala's blindness and how Zheind fits into the plotline. Excellent stuff. I think I liked that one too much, lol.

Lurkers, all of you! I wonder how many people are just laying low in this thread.
 
God hell me, the doujins for Shimoneta are going to be legendary.

It already has doujin artists doing the ending cards

Eccentric Family 06

This show still kind of confuses me. I dunno if it's based in Japanese mythology or what but the dude hanging out and having a crush on the people who ate his dad is just odd. Idiot blood I guess
 
Cardfight!! Vanguard G Episode 36 (engDub0

Shions boyfriend works at the United Empire, what?! At least we get a cardfight next episode, hopefully both got stronger.
CND9F3UWcAAs9hZ.png

Chrono's match was so good though they should have let the other kid (cant spell his name), win since he knew all of Chrono's moves.
of course plot had Chrono use a card that wasnt in the training program and it had to have a killer effect

Shimoneta ep.8
Anna is still love crazy as hell, looks like our MC is falling for our heroine, and the new chick is a psychotic, penis-looking douche. This is too interesting, lol.

So other then Future Diary is there any series where the Yandere girl straight up wins?

Well, at least I don't need to watch the last 10 or so episodes now, lol.

Well, I made an account and filled out a quick profile, with basically the anime I watched last season and the ones I'm watching now, otherwise it would take forever for me to remember them all. A few extras here and there that popped into my mind as I was filling it, though.

TBF I haven't actually see or know much about anything that happens in FD outside of the fact the fem lead is a yandere who wins.
 
One Piece 706

Man, it's a good thing that treasure box apparently had air holes.

Rip Corazon.

You were literally the most innocent character in One Piece history.

Hidamari Sketch x365 5
Nothing against Chika and I understand her role is to be this contrast to Sae that better draws out her character but I think I prefer when it's just the main four doing things.

Mushishi 9
This one was so amazingly low-key as it was effectively an ethical discussion between Ginko and the viillage's chief mourner. Ending caught me way off-guard too.
 
Classroom Crisis 08

Stop trying to do politics, it is not your strong suit show.

Cinderalla Girls 18

Still better than OG idol series.

Wakaba Girl 08

School festival episode with no love confession!? BAHHHH

Gakkou Garashi 08

I love seeing Yuki get her illusion destroyed and the more this happens the better.

Joukamachi no Dandelion 08

I wonder what does happen she uses her power to create something that does not exist? Probably physically painful or something.
