Currently watching:

-Titan thing. I like it. And I like potato girl.
-That new magical girl series with tarot cards. I like too, though the blue hair girl is annoying.
-Watamote. Reminds me of the girl I'm "dating" now (well, just the eyebags and the hair on one eye). Also reminds me of my lowest days at secondary school lmao.
-Another show of a guy who reincarnated in a dog. Strange.
-SS Omega. I'm a fan, so I watch. And Yuna :3

I also have shitloads of stuff on DVD and Bluray I haven't finished watching (Casshern SINS, Spice and Wolf, Acchi kocchi, Angel Beats, Clannad, Clannad AS, Disgaea, X, Gasaraki, etc.)

Not surprising. The cutscenes in the game were bad, too.

I finished WataMote. Hope there's more later.

I also started Kill La Kill. The animation is nice.

- Golden Time : The source material is awesome, the setting is college and includes all of the good factors like getting arrested for underage drinking. The thing is that the studio is famous for messing the good parts of the things the animate, and they started by drawing everyone like they are 12 years old. It's from the author of Toradora.

- Yowamushi Pedal : It's about a kid with no aspirations nor friends, who suddenly discovers that he has a big talent for cycling (cue to friends who cycle & sempai-s that have things to teach). The fact that it's about sports with no stupid crap going on nor light shinning from the guy asses makes it interesting. Also, this is going to be 50 episodes, the source material has a great popularity in Japan.

- Tokyo Ravens : Based on a LN, but I think this isn't an harem and seems to be one of the more action focused shows of the season. That might be enough to check it out. Based on VA and episode 1 animation, production seems high.

- Ippo : The sets of fights that come next are awesome. So yeah.

- I couldn't become a Yuusha and I can't be arsed to remember the name of the show : What was supposed to become the absolute best comedy show of the season ended up becoming some soft core peeping shots wanna be porn crap.

- Blaz Blue : ♥ I ♥ don ♥ t ♥ care ♥

- Pupa : I haven't seen the episode yet, but it's about a couple of siblings living the meager life without parents and facing the harsh fate and whatnot...... To later become cannibalistics out of control murderous monsters that splatter blood everywhere, unable to control their violent urges even to the point of going down and dirty with each other in the only sense that I'm interested. Must watch.

- Walkusomething Romance : I kept hearing on how this was about joust and sports and the like and thus was interesting & original, but It' just another Visual Novel turned anime with a bunch of uninspired panty shots. No thank you.

- Coppelion : I have been recomended this based on it's production. Can't be assed to check it out yet.

- Kill la Kill : Same as the previous one. Gainaxing warning, it seems.


There is a bunch of other stuff that I have been recommended and that I haven't checked yet (appegio, unbreakable doll, noucome, daiya no ace). Pretty strong season over all.

Jojo Part 3 Anime is confirmed for spring...

Tokyo MX will also be broadcasting compilation specials for Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency next year. The main focus for Stardust Crusaders will be the action in the Stand battles, so hopefully they actually have animation this time. Like how they went from Phantom Blood to Battle Tendency, there will also be a visual tone shift in Stardust Crusaders making it unique and different. They also mention wanting to do something "new" without ruining the established concept of Jojo.
In addition the main cast will be revealed on Jump Festa. However...

(take it as a grain of salt)
...There are rumors that the Cast will be different from the ones in All Star Battle and the auditions for the cast is ongoing right now...

Yes Joseph, is that time of the year were we get naked and run screaming "oh daddy oh" through the local streets.


Jojo Stardust Crusaders : If you aren't intensely imprinting every second of every episode in your retina, then you are missing out from life. This is going to be 24 episodes, which completely makes no sense since they haven't been skipping anything so far.... Unless they split it on two seasons, but I'm too negative to think like that.

Baby Steps : This one is so freaking awesome. It's about an honor student that takes up tennis, and he ends up taking it up seriously even though he has no intrinsics skills for it; he just uses his studious nature and love for hard work. What makes this one amazing is that it's 100% focused on reality (the author is an ex sports analyst); no special moves, no new type flashes, no zone / the world and no rainbow shot from people's asses. The best thing about this is how the author "disguises" the matches, and one can't tell if the lead is going to win or lose till the end (the further you are in the series, the harder it's to tell. Oh, and every character is pretty charismatic, it's like old age Hajime no Ippo). The bad news? This one has no sponsors outside the NHK. Less sponsors means less budget with means low quality drawing, animation, music and voice acting. It can still be enjoyable, though.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei : I don't remember the translation of the title, the irregular at the magic high school or something? This is the new flagship of chuunibyou anime. What is chunnibyou anime? It's not anime where the topic is chunnibyou (like the Kyoani LN / series), but rather is anime where the author seems to suffer from chuunibyou (This is also known as Ore TUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE / I'm STROOOOOOOONG type of series)--- The MC being just an extension of the authors childlish wish of being a perfect super extra intelligent overpowered killing machine god among men that has the whole world spinning around him and girls throwing themselves at him left and right (if you need an image, think Guilty Gear :lol: , though most guys aren't chuuni enough to voice their leads :lol: ) For the show itself, it's by Madhouse which means topnotch animation and background music. Some of the fight scenes are cool and I'm actually interested on what's going on with some of the side characters (to me the lead is as boring as working on holidays). Can work nicely as a "turn off your brain" entertainment. The first arc was rather boring to me (2 books worth of cringe worthy narration).

Haikyuu : Voleyball anime. I'm not even sure how to write voleyball :lol: . It's much better that what it seems at first glance, but it turns too shounenish the more it goes on (meaning power ups, stupid training to get stronger and enemies with ridiculous special traits).

Abarenbou Kishi!! Matsutarou : Sumou combat by Ashita no Joe's author. That should be enough for you to watch every episode.

No Game No Life : It's about two Hikkikomori-s that get warped to a world where everything is decided via gaming. When I read the first light novel I told me "what type of shitty high school fantasy is this?", but by the second book I was really digging this. The writting style is kinda good, there is some creativity and cultured use of some "common knowledge" level stuff and the plot is kinda good for an author that probably dreams about getting paid for playing badly single player games in his room. It gets more exciting as it goes on.

Mekakucity Actors : I haven't checked it yet; but this is an anime that was born from vocaloid lyrics. Yes, you read that right. A guy created vocaloid songs with a more or less coherent plot (he couldn't even draw, the character designs where a consensus taken from niconico), and this gained popularity until the he had to write a light novel version. The fact that this was a "less than amateur work that skyrocketed to popular media and fame" really drags me in (perhaps is the true future of fine taste animation after the horrible betrayal of the once promishing Light Novel genre).... For me the original was so very interesting before they jumped all out on the super natural genre (I have an alternative dimensional time shifting clone, and it's not as exciting as it sounds), but oh well.

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushi : I have only seen the first episode, but this had this old classic shoujo manga vibes and that seemed promising (like, the age where shoujo manga was cool enough that everyone wanted to read it, rather than the saturated fujoshi bait market that we have now). The plot is about a princess being "sold off" to another country to ensure a political truce via arranged marriage. She keeps her positive attitude regarless of everything and decides to make the best of her situation, but she then later learns that there is an important reason of why that big "sun country" would request such a tempting and convenient deal from the small and irrelevant "rain country".

Break Blade : This was sooooo clooose to a "hard" real robot series (meaning, no fantasy elements like "hidden power ups" or "miracle energies" or "battle of sizes", nothing weird but having a 10 meter tincans with guns walking around); but it felt a little bit short. This is a remake of the movies and it actually has some added cheap fanservice scenes and whatnot. Lots of plot twists, murders and betrayals like any real robot anime should have.

I have been advised a bunch of other stuff, but I haven't made the time for it.

Speaking of, Oregairu had a second season green lighted recently. If you haven't seen the first season you should like, consume 50 sleeping pills in a row so that you stop wasting humanity hard earned natural resources in a meaningless cause.

I'm guessing this is why Daisuke Hirakawa got the role
I have never heard anyone rerorero with that kind of speed and really there's no other requirement for anyone to voice Kakyoin

I'm not watching much else this season aside from this and No Game No Life. It alternates between absolute trash and absolute brilliance so often that it becomes absolutely average.

Go ahead!

Jojo : All is right in the universe (well, made in heaven will eventually wipe it out, anyway). Part 4 & Kira Yoshikage when?

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku : A continuation to a good series, unlike the previous season budget seems great, though character design is more generic now. This is basically about a guy who is happy with being an outcast in a school setting, who is forced to use cynism to help people who he doesn't want to interact with (nor them interact with him) while maturing and growing up. While this sound like emo song lyrics, this work is actually a master piece in a "coming of age" type of stories without involving a set activity such as sports, like most coming of age stories do.

Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru no Darou ka? : A flagship title for a light novel imprint that doesn't have too many well known titles, seems to have good budget though the studio animating it kinda makes me uneasy since they are famous for screw ups. Seems like a generic battle harem at first but the story is very well crafted and nicely uses existing myths (for example, the gods high-jacked babel and decended to the mortal realm). The boss fights in this series are seriously and completely awesome, and for what's shown, the season will have include 2 of those.

Baby Steps : Second season, a true anime about going for dirties to ritches in the sport sense, without any lazer beams sprouting from people's asses nor matrix dodge on approaching shots, game realism to the core make this unique and interesting, character interactions are also incredibly fresh; since it has a sense of realism that other series don't aim for (most sport shounen go for "friend", "enemy" or "rival", baby steps takes it a point further and we realize that they also can be "co-workers on the same field, even if it's under a different company").

Shokugeki no Souma : A surprise hit by shounen Jump, it takes a while for it to get interesting but I found it pretty good, food orgasms are basically gender equal, so you get to see cute biceps and manly beards. This show does nothing to "evade" typically obvious shounen troupes, but it disguises incredibly, which added a lot to my overjoyment. The character designer originally did porn, and it shows :lol:

Fate/Stay : Do I need even to comment?

Nagato Yuki : Based on the concept of the 4th movie, in other words it's a world where none of the characters have powers and 2 of the main cast are in another school.... Manga was basically a moe and cuteness overdose, thus it burns through me as dawn kills a vampire. WRYYY

Kyoukai no Rinne : Famous work by famous author, but are you allergic to Takahashi Rumiko?

Denpa Kyoushi : I'm on the fence over this (how many yanderes are in here?).

High School DxD : Generic crap, don't bother, next.

edit : editted with non drunken fist spelling.
