I'm revisiting Seitokai Yakuindomo, this anime is just hilarious!

Really need the 3rd season of this anime (you hear that GoHands, now make it happen)

I love Gugure Kokkuri-san to bits. It's my kind of humour. Deadpan delivery to the max.

Am I cute yet.

Spoiler

@ThomasMust say I couldn't stand the second season. It felt like they were reusing every single joke from the first season...

 

Also, yesterday I decided to finally finish Silver Spoon. So I downloaded both seasons... and marathoned them in the afternoon.

I'm currently watching: Mahou Tsukai no Yome, Dagashi Kashi S2, Killing Bites, Violet Evergarden, BEATLESS, Citrus, Toji no Miko, Darling in the Frankxx, all of them currently airing. However I do have some stalled ones from previous seasons that I have yet to continue.

I am watching Citrus because it's a true yuri.

I convinced some of my normie friends to watch Violet Evergarden with me every week

I usually cycle through weekly shows.

I will binge on bakemenogatri, D.Gray Man, and maybe Ghost in the Shell Second GiG.

Just rewatched A Silent Voice. What a great film. I cried more this time aroundThere was a lot of dust getting into my eyes during this watching.

[ittaku]

Finished watching Polar Bear's Cafe. Kids loved it. It remained very relaxed, harmless, and pointless right to the end. Did the same thing with Flying Witch - I never thought much of this the first time around but kids loved it again and it was pretty much the same as PBC.

Watched the No Game No Life Zero movie. It was pretty good but not exactly awesome. Looked great and had a few very enjoyable moments.  Mandatory watching for any fan of the series, but being backstory there's very little of the characters from the original.

It's supposed to take thousands of years before the original, so i guess it's not that surprising 

[Dergonu]

Finished watching Konohana Kitan. I was expecting pure fluff, and got hit right in the feels instead. Was not prepared / 10. Ugh, man, especially episode 8. Muh feels.

Well it was fluff... but nice touchy fluff. If ep8 was the one I'm thinking of, I understand ...

Yeah, true. I was expecting nothing but fluff, but got a whole lot of feels I wasn't expecting in the mix of the fluff instead. 

Man, I want a season 2 of this.  

[DarkZedge]

Decided to start watching Ookami-san and am currently on episode 6. Pretty legit so far more so than I expected

[Plk_Lesiak]

I've just finished Hand Shakers, intrigued by @ittaku's anti-recommendation. And boy, it did deliver in so many ways! Barfy animations with weird, motion-sickness-inducing perspective, horrible CGI, over-the-top, tropy characters, nonsense motivations, etc, etc. The wannabe idol character was one the most horrifying things I've seen in anime recently, especially when the animators tried to show her "dancing". Oh, and random BDSM in the first episode. And the main characters having to hold hands all the time during the first few episodes, even on the toilet. Brilliant.

If anyone can't tell by this point, I really like over-the-top, horrible anime. Most bad anime are just extremely boring harem/ecchi stuff though. But I'll always remember Hand Shakers as one of those rare, genuinely amusing disasters. <3

EDIT: Oh, and the opening song has a bit of charm to it.

Glad it un-delivered as I promised. You'll be hard pressed to ever find anything that shit again. I think the only thing in anime I've ever rated lower was Peeping Life which I couldn't even sit through one episode of, but that never had high aspirations whereas Hand Shakers did. What a legend.

[Darklord Rooke]

Fune wo amu. It's pretty great, but slow. If you don't like slow stuff then you won't like this show. But unlike most slice of life visual novels this aniime is always building, slowly, purposefully, instead of just mucking around. It's quietly reflective, it wants you to ponder. It's just my kind of anime, through and through and I love it. To be honest I'm a little tired of the over the top antics in most anime.

That this anime was based off a novel probably helped greatly in this aspect. There's a realism to it.

[Darklord Rooke]

Just bought the novel on the Kindle. Luckily for me it's been translated :3

They say negative publicity is a powerful tool. Shit, I'm probably gonna end up watching it during Spring break, lol.

Have you watched K by any chance? I know the animation wasn't the most popular among hardened critics, but I thought it was somewhat appealing. Or is it a lot worse with this one?

Haven't seen it, but Hand Shakers is really the bottom of the barrel among the shows that seriously tried to tell a story and create some emotional reaction among the viewers, it's hard to even get on a similar levels of terribleness.

The are contenders though. My next position on the list of horrible anime to watch when I don't feel like doing anything even marginally productive is Netsuzou TRap, the worst yuri in history of anime according to MAL.

If you are looking for shitty anime, I gues you should look at hentai. Poor art, very limited animation, hollow characters and little to no story. I would start with Imopara, they really messed up that adaptation, looks just horrifyingly bad.

But that's the point, usually Hentai don't try to be anything more than straight-up porn, so it has much less ability to fail epicly. And I don't like hentai porn, so it would just be boring, unless it has good comedy or is completely outlandish in its themes.

Well mostly my comment was about how it just had horrible art and animation making it bad porn material. The story and characters is something I wrote in to also say they don't have redeeming qualities, atleast the majority of hentai. There are some few exeptions of actually good hentai, but most are shit no matter how you look at it.

Actually as a counterpoint, try watching the 2 Mezzo Forte OVAs. They're clearly hentai but with infinitely better execution than Hand Shakers. They're actually a good watch and were so good that they decided to make a TV series out of the story (alas without the hentai.)

Also Bible Black (both anime and VN.) An oldie, but if outlandish themes is what is wanted, then it's hard to pass over it.

[milkteebaby]

I'm watching Violet Evergarden. Every Thursday, I can be counted on to bawl my eyes out and this week was definitely no exception. Usually, I despise shows like this as I find tearjerkers to be the lowest of the low when eliciting emotion, but this show...man, it really got to me.
