Jade Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Finish watching the last episode of Hello! Kiniro Mosaic, didn't know whether to laugh or cry while watching it especially in the first and last 5 minutes. Karen is awesomely cute as always though Quote
Down Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I was happy to see an OVA of Nyaruko-san going up, but sadly it was bad =( Too much romance (the romance in Nyaruko is self-consciously parodic but still terrible...), generic plot, not enough nerd references and absurd humor. Quote
nohman Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Since I'm pacing myself with Yamato 2199, I started watching Hestia in the mean time. There's a novelty in seeing the mechanical side of RPGs played (relatively) straight as real world phenomena . Also, fan service. Quote

Cythnar Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I take it you've not watched Log Horizon? IMO, I loved Log Horizon, but something felt... Meh, about it in the second season. I feel like it didn't really succeed in getting its point across maybe? It just felt like extra episodes to me, I dunno. On another note, "Fucking Plastic Memories" is all I can say right now. I don't wanna see the finale. Quote
nohman Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I take it you've not watched Log Horizon? Only a single episode, but the conceit there is that all that RPG stuff is due to being stuck in an MMO, right? Quote
Down Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Only a single episode, but the conceit there is that all that RPG stuff is due to being stuck in an MMO, right? Yes, but for a long time they don't really touch on the topics of going back to the real world and the reasons why they even ended up there, so there's a lot of "characters in a med-fan world that works with RPG mechanics translated to a real world". I'm not sure exactly how DanMachi does things though, it's probably different (ie no floating screens with life bars and stuff), but translating RPG mechanics in a tangible world is definitely a theme of LH.

Nosebleed Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 And that's the end of the "first season" of Aikatsu (I say that because it doesn't really end but it is the ending of the major arc). 50 episodes sure went by fast, it took me less than a week to watch them just because I had so much fun each time. I liked seeing the cast grow and all the friendship, it's a very healing show that anybody can watch and enjoy. The writing might not be impressive given how cheesy every turn of events is, but it's a kids show so it's not like I'd pick on that too much. I will say I thought in episode 50 the ending should have been Ichigo winning instead of Mizuki. She went against Mizuki twice and I felt that she really deserved to win the 2nd time because next year Mizuki will be graduating :/ I know that the show is trying to tell me "it's okay to lose bla bla bla" but it came off a little as Ash from Pokemon never winning the pokemon league. Ichigo had so many times where she lost, it'd only be fair for her to finally surpass the person she looked up to after 50 episodes. Though this is a very minor complaint, I guess I shouldn't expect this show to ever abandon its friendship based roots. In the end, after all was said and done, I still ended up like Seriously, 50 episodes of friendship building really take a toll when you pull something like that ending. The feels. Overall, after 50 episodes, I'm rating this show 10/10 I know it's not comparable to most other shows for older demographics, but the sheer amount of fun I had watching it, the character development, the setting, the music, the pacing, Johnny-sensei, everything was just so well mixed in together that I just can't point my finger at this show and hate it because it really made me happy to watch it. Here's to hoping the next 50 episodes are just as fun. I'm a bit scared because the cast will likely be changing and I grew so fond of the original cast (and the ships, but mostly just the friendship among them to bo honest) that it's going to be tough seeing them appart But hopefully the anime manages to make a good transition. I know after episode 100 things took an even bigger turn, but my body is ready to go through with every single episode of this show. AIKATSU! AIKATSU! AIKATSU! Quote
Kosakyun Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Finished Mondaiji in one sitting. Well, well. Letticia is a good loli. That's all I have to say. Best girl? Probably Kuro Usagi or Kasukabe You. I do hope they give this a second season or something. It's nice seeing a terribly powerful character from the start. He doesn't even need to depend on plot armor to survive battles. Also, You's dance in the ED is 10/10. I also started watching Mikakunin de Shinkoukei. Holy god. Kobeni was everything that I expected her to be. She's a 10/10 girl. No doubt about that. Enjoying the show as it is right now. I hope this continues to be a fun ride. ...Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Sat through Pupa yesterday. I don't even want to comment about it. It's a waste of post space. Have this instead. Edit: I thought I was missing episodes for that show, but apparently, I wasn't. Holy god, that was bad. Not even my 'supposed to be able to tolerate everything attitude' could save it from the monstrosity it is. Quote

No doubt about that. Enjoying the show as it is right now. I hope this continues to be a fun ride. Mikakunin is very consistently enjoyable. Chances are, if you like what you're watching now, you'll continue to for the remainder of the anime. Also, the last couple episodes are the best. It was a feels trip and a half for me. I love the romance in this series too. Quote

Stray Cat Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 After trudging through 3 eps of Shinsekai Yori I realized I'm gonna need something to help me get through this. Thus, I started watching Tantei Kageki Milky Holmes. Everything is better now. Quote

He doesn't even need to depend on plot armor to survive battles. Also, You's dance in the ED is 10/10. All I have to say to this is read the books if you enjoyed the series. The anime really fits the definition of an advertisement to a god damn tee. They literally stop the anime when all the real stuff starts to actually happen. As for best girl? Its obviously You, she has that bitchingly stylized overcoat, 'nuff said. As for Izayoi, I don't know whether to call his overpoweredness plot armor in and of itself. I'll be honest, I'm finding it really difficult to say ANYTHING about the show because so little happens in comparison to the rest of the series. I actually just back to backed NGNL and Mondaiji for like the third time, and I keep coming to the same conclusion that Mondaiji is simply a better story than NGNL in every single possible respect. The characters' struggle in Mondaiji just simply feels more real because of the effort they put in compared to NGNL which in my opinion is a series of asspulls. I've decided to start going through the precentury catalogue to knock out anime that I think I would enjoy. First up on the chopping block is Slayers. I'm seriously looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I think it will be pretty entertaining to see how much things have changed from what I remember. Quote
Skyzzed Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I finished Symphogear G just a few days ago, and am watching an ep of Katanagatari whenever I feel like it/have some time, currently at 5/12 Other than those, only a bunch of the shows airing this season (or that were airing, last week of the season now and all) Quote

They literally stop the anime when all the real stuff starts to actually happen. This lol. I'll get to it once I feel like it. It does feel like an advertisement, especially the last episode. Too bad. Continued watching Mikakunin de Shinkoukei. I'm currently at Episode 8. Can't say I didn't expect anything out of the normal due to the title, but I'm still shocked. I thought the guy just had some ninja skills or something due to living in the mountains. I guess not. Oh well. Still enjoying it. Also shocked that blondie and girl with green hair were also some kind of other lifeform. Not a problem though. Also, these segments between Kobeni and Hakuya always tug at my heartstrings. <3 Also, started watching Tokyo Ravens. First episode was 'wtf is happening'. I'm surprised that someone 'died' this early in the anime (episode 2), but I believe she'll be able to return. Since, well, isn't she a shikigami? I'll just see for myself. Quote
nohman Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Ended up getting caught up on Hestia. Fun show. The fight scene with the minotaur was well-executed and really good, quite unexpectedly so. I also like how Bell's attire is constantly changing. It's a nice touch to the whole "adventurer" thing. Still watching about and episode of Yamato 2199 a day. On episode 12 now. Quote

nohman Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Okay, okay. Episode 13 of Yamato 2199... Dimensional submarine. Dimensional. Fucking. Submarine. This show makes me feel like a kid again, I'm so in love. Quote

Holy god, that was bad. Not even my 'supposed to be able to tolerate everything attitude' could save it from the monstrosity it is. I loved Mondaiji way more than I expected to. The setting is freaking amazing, and the characters are surprisingly interesting for the genre. I'll need to take AM's advice as well and read the light novels. And, yes, the ending dance is the best thing ever. Definitely Black Rabbit for best girl, though, not You Kasukabe, despite You being voiced by Britney Karbowski in the dub. Kasukabe doesn't kick enough ass; Black Rabbit's hair changes color; Black Rabbit can go toe-to-toe with overpowered Izayoi; and last but not least, Black Rabbit has an enchanted skirt. Enchanted. Fucking. Skirt. No contest. I've been hesitant about Engaged to the Unidentified since I hadn't really heard anything about it, but with the sudden outpouring of support here I'll have to give it a try. I have weirdly stalled on Shin Sekai Yori, despite my significant, but ambivalent, enjoyment of it; I need to pick it up again, but video games keep getting in the way. Quote
Abyssal Monkey Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 You is far superior in my opinion for matters that happen in the books. She is practically a monster, and can take on Kuro Usagi incredibly easily once she understands her powers. Also, she gets kitten headphones. Kitten. Fucking. Headphones. Slayers is all that I expected and more. They just made a joke about Luna not being able to use magic because "it's that time of the month". 10/10 comedy gags for breaking the fourth wall too. So far it's a recommend for anyone wanting some comedy. Zebhra 1 Quote

For some reason i just feel like giving this comment a medal. ^^ As for the subj, i just finished the first season of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! (wich i enjoyed alot) and now watching second season. So far so god Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Nooo Chuunibyou season 2 doesn't exist! Stop spouting nonsense! Quote
Kosakyun Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Finished watching Mikakunin de Shinkoukei. It was fun. Really fun. I'd like me another season that's just as good as the first one. The girls are adorable (ofc), especially Kobeni. Kobeni now holds a special place in my heart. <3 I have to say though. FORCED DORAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Not that I have a problem with. It's just, ugh. Damn it, Hakuya. Well, at least it led up to a sweet scene. Just makes you doki doki, you know? Definitely Black Rabbit for best girl, though, not You Kasukabe, despite You being voiced by Britney Karbowski in the dub. Kasukabe doesn't kick enough ass; Black Rabbit's hair changes color; Black Rabbit can go toe-to-toe with overpowered Izayoi; and last but not least, Black Rabbit has an enchanted skirt. Enchanted. Fucking. Skirt. No contest. It is indeed tempting to choose her as best girl, even with the skirt alone. Because that skirt is fucking enchanted, man. I'll just have to say that You appears to have more potential to kick ass in the future because of her Gift. Other than that, she was a member of the group called on from different worlds, dang it. She has to kick ass. Not only that, but her dance in the ending is 10/10. Whatever you tell me, Kuro Usagi's dance in the ending is definitely subpar to that of You's. Quote
