I adored Nisekoi, was saddened it was only 20 episodes, 4 more would of been great <3

Flag is also a strangely good show, can't put my thumb on why. Maybe its the depression the main guy constantly goes through while everything else is so happy?

And Bryhidlr... from the creators of Elfen Lied. At first I was like, really? Episode one rolls on by and I was meh. Then episode 2 comes a long...

Yup, some already start in a week. Sailor Moon incoming!!!! :3

and SAO Season 2, which we all expect to flop lol

Tokyo ESP, Mid-July 2014. Nuff said.

Looking forward to Sailor Moon. And I agree I think SAO 2 will flop, though I enjoyed the first.

the popotan tell me the forums are boring these days

I can't... I can't continue Akame Ga Kill anymore.....

Q.Q

Shows are better when ANYONE can die, rather than the good guys always winning.

All Anime is for degenerates-except the WWII stuff that showed the Japanese how to submit.

Read a book and learn something!

winter just kind of sucked. boring girlfriend was really the only good one. kancolle was ok. world break started off decent as did unlimited fafnir but then they dropped the ball. testament of the sister new devil was just way too perverted. the short broadcasts of military and comical psychosomatic medicine were good, but most of the full anime shows just kind of blew.

maria the virgin witch is a good one, but i just could not get into rolling girls.

Can we pass on that?

I hear Rosario is amazing as a manga and all - but I really saw nothing they could of done with that scenario or characters to save that show.

All the characters were one dimensional - side cast even worse - and this doesn't change from manga to anime, it's the same characters, just different routes.

Only thing that came from that show was second seasons OP - I have a weakness for dancing anime girls :D

go watch Vampire Knight - that's a vampire show that needs a third season.

forget?

I don't even know what show that is, lol.

Plastic Memories or w/e is the only show I heard hype about outside of continuations.

i just watched the first episode of plastic memories, holy **** that got feely fast, although it seems to be taking the angel beats path of laughter, then crying, then laughter again. that said i absolutely adore angel beats so whether its a good thing or bad i'm not sure yet.

seems interesting though, though i may be a tad biased as i find artificial life and humanity a very interesting area.

I love watching anime as it airs because it means there will be something new for me to see on most days of the week. However, this doesn't work when ALL FIVE SHOWS I'M WATCHING ARE RELEASED ON FUCKING SATURDAY. Saturday morning cartoons were cool when I was a kid, but this is just stupid. Aside from that, I've decided to watch some shows not on Crunchyroll, so I have seen the first episodes of two shows already.

Will be watching on Crunchyroll: Fate/Stay Night, Plastic Memories, and Gunslinger Stratos.

Watching off-site: Kekkai Sensen, and Owari no Seraph

Kekkai Sensen: This show has potential. The feel of this show is very similar to that of Hamatora, which I liked a lot, so I'm hoping this show will deliver. However, if it is going to continue to be as shit as that first episode, then this show will be nothing but a disappointment.

Owari no Seraph: This is how a first episode should be done. I really enjoyed this one's first episode for some reason. The plot twist was kind of obvious, but I didn't expect them to take it as far as they did. This show started off well, but I get the feeling it is going to get much worse.

So those are two short reviews of what I have seen so far. I'll have three more up on Saturday or Sunday after I have the others.
Peace guys,
Glantix / Ice

Anyone hear any other news about Digimon?

I can't see to find information anywhere.

The witches show was actually showed as a manga first on crunchy roll.

When they first launched the service I checked it out and that was the manga I picked - it's pretty good.

But, alas, I just got Akiba: Undead and Undressed. I tried it on PS3 and gave up very early because of some very noticeable flaws, such as how obvious PS3 couldn't handle the games performance in rendering anything. It's no wonder the city was cut up into so many different parts.

But the PS4 handles it beautiful - giving a much more satisfying and Akiba experience. Never touch the PS3 version. It just can't handle the game.

I pity you. I couldn't handle it. PS4 is beautiful <3

Yamada-kun and the seven witches.

I really hope this one is good, but I have no idea where the plot is going.

I just discovered D-Frag. Funny show, both the sub and dub do a good job.

dude is in love with a robot. way too weird for me.

Halp why is kissanime not working I feel like a part of me died id I don't watch the rest of date a live

Gokukoku no Brynhildr (Brynhildr in the the Darkness)

7/10

Sci-fi/Supernatural/Harem

Ten years ago, while looking for an alien that his friend Kuroneko swears she saw, Ryouta falls from a dam and ends up being hospitalized. Upon his release, he learns that Kuroneko was killed during the fall after she tried to save him. Ryouta, now in the 11th grade, spends his free time at a local observatory, wherein he continues to look for alien life. One day, a transfer student named Neko shows up at his school...and she bears a striking resemblance to Kuroneko. However, she tells Ryouta that he's mistaken as they've never met before. Soon enough, she informs Ryouta that she's here to save him as her friend has forecasted Ryouta's impending death; in doing so, Neko displays amazing powers that exceed that of any human. Refusing to accept that Neko and Kuroneko are not the same person, Ryouta journeys with her in a heartbreaking tale of aliens, magic, experiments and love...

Look folks, this show is dark. Very dark. Death is unexpected and frequent and occasionally, soul-crushing. Ryouta is a fairly typical MC with one special ability (a photographic memory.) What sets him apart from typical MCs is that his greatest strength is his mind--when dealing with beings far more powerful than he, Ryouta must rely on his wits to save the day. The girls that come into his life are all tragic figures and it's damn near impossible not to develop an attachment to them...bring some tissues, people.

I watched the uncensored version of the show, which delivers more gore/nudity. The whole harem/ecchi aspects of the show seem like an odd fit with the dark tone...and yet, looking back on it, it's entirely appropriate. The harem aspect isn't played up for comedy and the nudity isn't served up for fanservice; these are teenage kids coming together and, in the case of the girls, their first experience with building any sort of lasting relationship with other people, human or not. For some characters, the sensation of falling in love is alien (no pun intended) to them and they don't understand their own feelings, or why they're experiencing them. Other characters--including my favorite--recognize love for what it is and want to act on it while they have the chance. After all, how reserved would you be around the person you care about if you knew that your life will come to end sooner (much, much sooner) rather than later? It helps in this case that Ryouta is immensely dedicated to helping those around him--he repeatedly puts himself in harm's way for the sake of the girls for no reason other than the fact that he treasures their lives and wants to help them in any way that he can.

Where the show struggles is in pacing--honestly, the entire school scenario is an unnecessary waste of time. Yes, I understand why the girls would dream of attending school...but given their health status and the ever-present threat of death, it's hard to picture them finding time to actually live such a life. That time would have been better served developing the plot and pushing forward major plot developments that are otherwise crammed into the final episodes. That said, it does make sense that the girls dream of experiencing a normal life as best they can. Of course, I could just be bitter about the fact that these episodes focus so much on developing attachments to characters that won't all survive to the end... The final story arc comes across as being rushed due to many revelations being made in such a short period of time, and several questions are left unanswered.

Animation is solid, if not spectacular. Music can be pretty epic at times (particularly the second opening theme song.) Girls are attractive without being beautiful. Frequent nudity to be found while ecchi used for comedic purposes pops up on occasion.

Verdict: If you can make it through the dark tone (think Elfenleid) it's worth a watch. Try your best not to get too fond of the characters...or else bring some tissues. Seriously, this show hits hard and doesn't pull any punches.

For the Record: Team Kazumi, hands-down. Cast into the vixen role, she's the most outgoing and isn't shy about her desire for Ryouta. Though the show mostly plays up her sexual advances as a joke, she's obviously terrified about dying without experiencing true love and, being the constant butt of the joke, is insecure about her own body. Mucho kawaii!!!!

Seraphs episode is a .5 edition, terrible :(

I also recently watched Black Butler, S1.

And he's definitely up for the baddest male character around, lol.

so, besides one punch man... none of us are watching anything else???

Time to make some commentaries

Has anyone seen Gate S2 & Ajin?
I really like Ajin's art style plus the immortal concept.
