HOLY FUCKING SHIT SHINGEKI NO BAHAMUT IS A FUCKING MAZING

>>89949
Really? Description seems pretty generic and cardgame-based series tend to be that.

Akame ga Kill - generic shounen continues being generic shounen

Amagami Brilliant Park - I like the MC. If the show concentrates more on the "economics and management of a theme park" and "office politics" possibilities rather than harem or romance, then it might actually be really good.

Cross Ange - Only seen one episode so far, but... yea... Sunrise mecha with racism/xenophobia and rapey subtext.

Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken - Otaku husband and normal wife, series of super short comedy shorts. It's ok. Kind of feels like a ripoff of Spotted Flower, the Genshiken alternate universe story.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san - generic moe, probably dropped soon.

Gundam Build Fighters Try - More Gundam Build Fighters goodness. That episode 1 reveal, FUCK YEEEEEAAAAA

Gundam: G no Reconguista - ohhi Tomino. Looks like King Gainer, feels like Gundam, it's Tomino's spastic and weird pacing and plodding dialogue and weird comedy and wild tonal shifts maxed to 11/10. I guess I like it so far, although I can't say why.

Hitsugi no Chaika: Avenging Battle - It's Chaika. Shocking truth!

Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu - I actually had low expectations of Parasyte. Even if everything else was great, I expected overbearing censorship to ruin it like Pupa, Tokyo Ghoul or Terraformars. But what little censorship there was was very understated and acceptable.

Nanatsu no Taizai/Shingeki no Bahamut - For generic shounen these two are surprisingly entertaining so far.

I don't think there's anything "sub"textual about Cross Ange really. It's pretty much all there up front.

I wish Sunrise would just make a good reboot of Geass and then just fucking disappear at this point, I'm pretty done with their shit.


Unlimited Blade Works: Dat Taiga

Chaika S2: Not there yet but I've been convinced to watch S1 and am enjoying it so far. I'm not sure that I've ever actually seen a fantasy series that uses Post-Napoleonic Europe as the setting.

Log Horizon S2: It's more Log Horizon and that is a good thing. Also they've confirmed the inclusion of the Western side stories which feature a fake Ninja Turtle and a Chinese gold farming bot that gained sentience and I am SO ON BOARD WITH EVERY PART OF THAT.

Seha Girls: I'm not sure why I'm doing this to myself. It's... oddly fascinating to watch though. I've never owned a Sega console but I'm pretty familiar with the assorted insanity they got up over the years and there's something transfixing about watching a bunch of animes go to school to argue over which Gold Axe character they're lusting over and then have lessons which consist of straight up Virtual Fighter footage.

Parasyte: I should probably watch Parasyte.

SM Crystal is still on too but I think the novelty has worn off for me.

>>89951
Dude, the animation is GOD TIER and the story is fun shenanigans with world building mysteries in the backdrop, what more could anyone ask for?

>>89961
Garbage. Also in the wrong thread.

>>89948
It's by Goro Miyazaki of Earthsea infamy, I'm not expecting too much.

>World Trigger
Some interesting twists I didn't expect for some reason but in the end I felt unmotivated to watch the next episode.

>>89974

Probably something to do with the complete and utter lack of budget.

The series also has a pretty slow start, gets way better later though.

First episode of Psycho-Pass S2 was kind of weak. Dunno if I'll watch it this time around.

May check out the Ghibli thing or Amagi Park when I have the time. Terra Formars might be accidentally hilarious if what I've seen of the manga is anything to go by.

Should probably get around to watching the first season of Mushishi.

>>89977
Am I the only one who doesn't really dig the art style of the anime? Not that the art was particularly good in the original manga, but it had a sort of 90's Hojo-esque charm to it.

I Can't Understand etc feels like commercialized Youtube Poop.

I can't tell if Parasyte has incredible or terrible music but I can tell it's the best possible use of dubstep.

>but I can tell it's the best possible use of dubstep
NONSENSE!!!!!!

I didn't mean of all time or anything, just in the context of the show.

Maxim is a really fucking good adaptation of Parasyte.

>>90055
Like almost too good, Natsu No Taizai is the same.

So are they not doing Hellsing Abridged this year?

>>90077

Last I saw on the TFS Twitter, the editing was just about done. I guess they wanted to make it a Youmacon premiere or something first.

>>90078
Oh right. I keep for getting it comes out a few days after Halloween.

Akatsuki is so goddamn boring. Log Horizon season 2 is like watching Other M half the time.

>>90291
Jesus Christ.

Does that take into account the korean animators too?

>>90291
Wow. I make more money than anyone under the Series Director. And Series Director wouldn't be THAT much of a step up in pay. I know the economy's different in Japan since no one's saving up for real estate, but still, it's surprising how little they make.

>>90292
>Does that take into account the korean animators too?
You mean when they outsource work to korean studios?
Thats a series-by-series basis. But if its a studio job in japan, its in-house.

That said, no, korean animators don't make much either.
