I have the blu rays for Eccentric Family sitting on my shelf and am in the same boat. It's me, the guy who buys things and never watched them.

Gabriel Dropout is hilarious and probably the only thing I'm going to bother keeping up with this season (besides March Comes in Like a Lion and maybe LWA if i can work up the effort to set it up for viewing with my friends every week)

Chaos Child is cool as hell and helps erase Occultic Nine from my memory which is appreciated.

I'm liking Akiba's Trip and Demi-Girls, are both good. I am looking forward to watching Chaos;Child when I get home. Is there any recommendations on shorts this season? I have room for one more along with Koro Sensei Quest.

A bit more info at Variety http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/amazon-anime-channel-subscription-1201958402/ quote:The ad-free programming on Amazon’s Anime Strike includes recent series like “The Great Passage”; same-day-as-broadcast series from Japan including “Scum’s Wish” (“Kuzu no Honkai”) and “Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga” (“Ao No Exorcist: Kyoto Fujouou-hen”); and older anime hits like “Paprika,” “Tokyo Godfathers” and “Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS.” Content on the channel will be refreshed weekly, Amazon says.

If you want me to pay half of what I pay CR, especially on top of my Prime membership, give me half of CR's library. EDIT: also, Revenge-comedy is gradually getting better. We see how much of a doofus the protagonist still is, in this episode, as well as seeing different sides of some supporting castmembers.

It's atrocious. I bet some poor nerd guy did the math and figured it would be viable. And then Amazon shorts him a couple hundred thousand so all he gets is a few old animes and has to charge a monthly fee.

$5/mo you may or may not be paying on top of the $99/yr for a prime membership. they've also launched a supplement to their music service that costs another $8/mo more on top of your prime membership ($9/mo for non prime members, lol). honestly just lovely to see, especially for this anime stuff that they've been utterly incompetent in promoting or making easily available. the fact that the article mentions day-of streams is funnier given they ran an entire season with their new acquisitions unavailable in the US (they still aren't available).

dogsicle posted:$5/mo you may or may not be paying on top of the $99/yr for a prime membership. I mean I get why they charge on top of it, I save more than $99 a year in shipping costs through Prime. But if you're going to offer a new service, you better beat the market standard instead of offering an inferior product.

Erg posted:Amazon's streaming services are loving bullshit That's not to say that Amazon doesn't offer some added value. They manage to get their streaming client onto just about all internet-tv based devices, whereas you pretty much have to watch CR on a gaming console (3 year old Rokus, apparently, work, but the negotiations broke down somewhere I guess with LG/Sharp/etc) or your computer. I went to buy a TV for the bedroom recently, and Amazon wasn't listed as being among the available apps for the Samsung 32/1080 model, but the point still stands.

Oh that's pretty annoying, I guess i'm just so used to running everything (netflix, amazon, whatever) through my console it didn't even occur to me that without one it might be harder to use.

Maidragon was pretty decent, would've been bumped up to "solidly good" if there weren't the occasional dumb thing like the boob sound effects Gabriel Dropout has promise but I'm waiting to see how the next few episodes go Revenge Porn actively annoyed me; the characters would have to be really exceptional to get past the idiotic plot premise and they definitely weren't LWA continues to be the cutest, best show and Trigger continues to save anime

I really, really liked Scum's Wish. Messed up, mature melodrama with interesting framing - it put in the manga frames, which worked with its style? - and I'm honestly eager to see where it goes. I don't think this kind of show can have a happy ending, but I'll hold out hope that everyone survives to adulthood without destroying their emotional ties to each other.

Demi-chan has made the best first impression out of all the anime this season. I went into it blind and not expecting too much, but I was pleasantly surprised. https://my.mixtape.moe/anbyaj.webm I was looking forward to Maidragon the most this season, since I'm a big fan of the manga, so I definitely went into it with a bias, but even with that in mind it had a pretty good first episode. I'm looking forward to Kanna showing up. https://my.mixtape.moe/wimelq.webm Gabriel Dropout looks like WataMote and Disgaea had a child, which means I'm probably going to enjoy it. https://my.mixtape.moe/tdenpz.webm Urara Meirochou looks like your standard 'cute' anime, and I mean that as a good thing. Kemono Friends might have worked better as a half-length show instead of a full one. At least I got over the animation faster than I thought I would. Idol Jihen is only going to be worth watching if there's a scene where they prevent World War III by singing to Putin and Trump. I still want to give Akiba's Trip and ACCA a shot, especially ACCA, because aside from Youju Senki, it looks like I'm going to be watching mostly cute SoL shows this season.

Demi-Chan, Gabriel Dropout, Konasuba, and Little Witch Academia are my likes so far. Maid Dragon was kinda eh, but good enough to give it another episode or two. Akiba's Trip got me on the first episode, but kinda lost me on the second.

Just a heads up that the seasonal stream for the shows that premiered this week will be tomorrow at 4PM Central (GMT -6). I'll post a stream link here slightly beforehand. Not at a computer so I can't easily repost the list of shows, but it's in this thread somewhere. Only change is removing One Room.

the first half of ep 2 of youjo senki was extremely dreadful isekai fare i had hoped they would cut out. the only bright point in it was the fact that he didnt die by a truck or some heroic action, but because of a fired subordinate pushing him in front of a train. at least it got back to the war is hell stuff after that and the post credits scene is win
