Yay I have things to watch this season :neckbeard:

Gangsta and Gatchaman are definite, plus spring leftovers and getting caught up to Durarara. Gonna check out Akagami no Shirayukihime and watch at least the first episode of Rokka no Yuusha, Red Dragon War, and Ranpo Kidan: Game of Laplace as well. Oh yeah and the Kamisama Kiss OAV.

:lol: at the sleeping with pretty boys anime. That might end up on my list, too hahaha

Sorry but I will not be watching the monster titty show. Just letting you know so you can get the paperwork started.

That looks fairly consistent with the style of the manga so I'm not really seeing what the issue is.

More VHD!! :aaa:

The novels are one of my guilty pleasures. I have all of them that have been translated so far (they are uniformly terrible).

It really doesn't matter how awful that turns out to be, I will watch every second.

Probably the most notable thing about the VHD novels are the covers and internal art by Yoshitaka Amano.

I'm going to duck out of work early today and watch episode 0. I watched the director's cut of 12 a couple of nights ago so it's fresh but I kinda wished I had gone back and rewatched 11 maybe just to refresh myself on what was happening right there at the end.

I am hesitant about Ranpo Kitan. Probably going to watch another episode or two because I want to like it but there's some stuff that really put me off. If that teacher ends up having a larger role I am totally out though, ugh.

The reason behind the dogtags have already been explained in the thread, but if you want to be surprised then I suggest you avoid the thread for now.

Yeah I got a little excited when I was making the thread and dumped too much info out to start probably :shobon: I would have pulled it out or spoilered but got quoted a couple times so sorry about that. If anyone is real worried about it but still want to post you can jump straight to page 2 at least.

I figure some of it will come up in the next episode so you won't have to wait too long for an in-show explanation at least.

I did not need to see that.

Rokka no Yuusha/Braves of the Six Flowers is really neat. For one, it's got a ton of style. Secondly, the world seems stylized mostly after ancient South American civilizations like the Mayans and Incans (I do not know enough to say which specifically), which is really unique. Thirdly, the music is amazing! It did have a bad case of "characters telling each other things they already know" exposition.

I think I'm gonna like this. A lot.

Yeah that was a pretty fun first episode. Definitely keeping this one on the list for now.

Once it was established as a trait there probably wasn't as much need to keep doing it, because it was really annoying to watch. It's an effect I'd rather see reserved just for specific point of view shots like say, where he meets someone and they come into focus for him or if he is alone and his perspective needs to be established rather than practically all the time he's present. I hope they dial it back considerably for the next episode.

I usually watch Funimation shows on Hulu Plus as well so at this point I expect the start of each season to be a disaster. I'm just glad they don't seem to be doing the full week delays once they finally get one started.

I really like the idea of all these older properties getting well-made reboots but I'm probably going to wait until there are a few more episodes of Ushio & Tora out or pick it up after the season ends. Shounen stuff that's mostly built around battles gets really boring to me week to week even if they start out fun and cool but I can usually sustain a binge watch.

Gangsta is probably a good candidate for 3 episode test because I'm expecting it'll have everything more or less laid out by the 3rd episode and if you're not on board at that point, not much point in sticking around.

I'm already so invested from reading the manga I'd watch it even if it was the worst garbage of the season though.

I like that it's been really clear about the time scale and how long it's taking for things to happen. Wish if they were going to spend nearly the whole episode on horseback that they would have done a better job with the horses (guess that's pretty standard for anime though).

I don't know what the hell is up with the streaming schedule for this show. Funimation's video page even still lists it as airing on Sundays. :wtc:

Early is better than late though, and with little to no delay for Hulu Plus as well.

I'm curious to see what the big deal is about avoiding the main streets of the city at all costs is though.

The scene at the brothel entrance was supposed to make that clear. There was a bit more to that scene in the manga with people out in the street also making comments about Nic:


I suppose they cut it for time but that scene suffered in the adaption, especially since it didn't get the full level of anti-Tag sentiment across.

I like that Aohara x Machine gun got the debt out of the way in this episode instead of dragging it out longer. I wasn't really expecting that. Also am still amused by how seriously all these guys take shooting at each other with plastic pellets.

AxM is the unexpectedly fun show of the season for me since I hadn't planned to watch it at all, and unfortunately Ranpo Kitan is the one I wanted to watch and like but am dropping. I think if I liked any of the characters it would have been easier to stick with, but as it is I find it unpleasant and won't be continuing.

The other piece to that is that all the laws and tagging came out of a violent anti-Twilight movement being quelled (this was mentioned some in the latest episode) so the implementation was ostensibly done for the protection of this exploited minority population who were being trafficked and murdered all the time. I'm still at work posting from a meeting so that's from memory but y'all can hit the GANGSTA wiki if you want spoilers at this point. I think the next episode will continue expounding on the three laws and anti-Twilight stuff, especially once the Paulklee Guild makes an appearance and we see more of the flashback content.

Go ahead if you want to. There hasn't been all that much discussion, but from what there has been it's certainly seeming like a sleeper hit of the season. And since it's apparently split cour, it'd be useful for the future too.

Honestly, it's just nice to have a feel-good show where the characters actually display common sense and initiative, and the relationships don't feel remotely forced.

Oh I hadn't realized it was split cour, that's cool. I'm really enjoying it so far but haven't felt like there was all that much to talk about. If someone else makes the thread I'll make some low-content posts in it :v:

Y'know that keeps getting thrown out as why and shoujo has some pretty terrible tropes, but I've read a lot of pretty bad shoujo manga and can't think offhand of any titles that get as gross as goons have been in their grimdark My Love Story fanfiction posts. I don't think shoujo is to blame here.

Skim the comments for spoilers and if you're on a site that does tags look at those. Also if you're reading one and it goes off the rails stop loving reading it or else don't whine that you're continuing to read a train wreck.

Example:
Check out the tags on this pile of hot garbage, many of which make it very clear no one should ever read this.
