Should I just read summary and jump to season 3, I heard that's when it starts to get good. I thought both S1 and S2 were short and sweet, while season 3 is more long winded but with a great ending. If you didn't like the show so far you probably won't like season 3 either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Marchen Madchen, episode 1 : pretty classical but still enjoyable. Eager to see what's next Next: Sakura and Violet Evergarden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Someone told me devilman may be the most fucked up thing on netflix. I was like no way. Just watched the first episode and after picking up my jaw - maybe it is. Definition of R-rated show. Though i think shows like Higurashi are more cringing to me. Devilman just has over the top violent deaths but they are quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXtacy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Perfectly good six just maybe Little Witch Academia could be switched out with a few other slightly better shows. I think Made in Abyss will take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) New season impressions, these are the ones to look out for. 1. A Place Further Than The Universe 2. Violet Evergarden 3. Darling in the FranXX 4. After the Rain 5. Yuru Camp 6. Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san I was super hyped for Violet Evergarden so its surprising to see a show beat it out early in the season. Darling in the FranXX also has huge potential being listed as 24 episodes. Obviously nice returns for Cardcaptor Sukara after 20 years, nostalgic as fuck. Seven Deadly Sins season 2 should be great also listed for 24 episodes. Edited January 19, 2018 by eXtacy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Made in Abyss will take it I think if the judges' voting and the fan voting are separate, Made in Abyss would probably win the judges' vote while My Hero Academia would win the fan vote. If I find myself with time to watch more anime, I'll try to watch the other nominees besides My Hero Academia before I vote. By the way, I think another Winter 2018 anime to keep an eye on is Record of Grancrest War. It's a fantasy series, and the pilot episode, directed by someone who had worked on Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū, was very smoothly edited. It may not end up being the best, but it may end up being worth a look. And I had a smidge of an inkling that A Place Further than the Universe would be distinct and exemplary. Is it a good one?

Also, A Silent Voice getting a nod for best animation over Your Name is positively absurd. As much as I love ASV, I would quite happily frame pretty much any scene from Your Name and hang it on my wall.

Its completely unfair to comparing the two. 13 hours ago, slambros said: And I had a smidge of an inkling that A Place Further than the Universe would be distinct and exemplary. Is it a good one?

Fullbuster Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Sakura's 1st episode was great, so happy to see her and the other characters once again. I feel so nostalgic. Black Clover ep 15 was great, finally some great fights. This show took a while to start but now we're finally there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxx93 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Currently watching: Knights of Sidonia, Jojo Stardust Crusaders and Nisekoi. I'm fucking lovin Knights of Sidonia. Don't care if its CGI, the show is friggin awesome. Stardust Crusaders has some really weird shit that made me LOL hard, they don't call it Bizarre Adventures for nothing I guess. Bangle's Walk Like an Egyptian as an ED song is a stroke of genius. (Oh, and fuck the stupid censorship of this show, a fucking cigarrete black barred, come on man) The odd Shaft animation style and many unnecessary fan service is not doing Nisekoi any favors. I did got me a few laughs at least. Edited January 26, 2018 by Boxx93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I finished the Fall's half of the current season of Ancient Magus' Bride, so I'm giving that show a break. I am slowly getting through My Hero Academia, but my incentive to do so isn't immense because I do read the manga, as I do for most 'shonen' titles that interest me. But the Anime Awards have inspired me to try watching excellent lesser-known shows like: ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū March comes in like a lion All of which have great first episodes. As for this new season, I think A Place Further Than The Universe is pretty strong. I like the continuous plot structure is has that some shows don't seem to have. If other slice of life or 'drama' anime weren't your jam because you thought nothing too interesting was happening in the show aside from character development and character interaction, give this one a try. And I've watched the first two episodes of Record of Grancrest War. Yeah... if there are any shows on my Crunchyroll queue that may be removed in the future, it's that one. Not that it's flat-out bad- do give it a try if you're curious- it's just that the first two episodes are pretty dull and pretty run-of-the-mill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakugo and March Comes in Like a Lion are both excellent dramas, absolutely recommend them to everyone. Never did watch ACCA, tell if it is worth once you finish. A Place Further Than The Universe is my favourite of the season so far but your actually wrong in saying its a slice of life or drama - I would classify it as an adventure show. Slice of life is more day to day activities (not going somewhere like Antarctica). As for Grancrest its 24 episodes so far its been underwhelming but being longer show I am giving it a little longer chance to impress.

Boxx93 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Fuck. Nisekoi. That show was a piece of garbage. The only salvagable things from that mess was Onodera, Tachibana and the soundtrack. The rest was unbearable. And even if the anime is unfinished I don't even need to read the manga to tell Spoiler that Ichijou will choose the gorilla Chitoge in the end and break Onodera's heart in the process. That's how fucking predictable this piece of shit is. I'll put that in spoilers in case if I get it right. What hurt it the most wasn't even the stupid fanservice (though blueballing the audience with fucking little fogs covering the tits and ass all the fucking time didn't helped either) but ultimately it was the wasted potential. I can think of many ways how this show could have been so much better and it angers me how the mangaka and the writers of the anime version kept fucking up these characters whenever they could. Despite that there are a couple of genuinely good episodes in there like Ichijou and Chitoge's mom and Shuu and the female professor. But for any good episode like the ones mentioned, we get many more fucking lame cliche fest episodes like the Hot Spring episode or the one's with Onodera's sister, fuck Onodera's sister, that bitch. And by the way hitting the main protagonist and yelling him Pervert all the time when it's clearly not it's faul ITS NOT GODDAMN FUNNY. ITS INFURIATING. WHY IS THIS A FUCKING CLICHE???? WHY IS IT EVEN COSIDERED FUNNY??? WHY!!!.....*Breathe Deep* Anyway... How weird that the more dramatic episodes where much better than the comedic ones despite being a harem comedy. Maybe this should have been a dramatic Kyoto Animation production a la Clannad and not a weird Shaft Akiyuki Shimbo anime, the visual style and the studio didn't work either. Nisekoi is a total mess. I hated it. 4/10. Horrible. Currently watching: Yuri On Ice, Jojo Stardust Crusaders, Knights Of Sidonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
