From what I remember, wasn't Terra Formers some hilariously racist manga where the evil bugmen were an analog for black people or something? Or was that a different manga?

Oh don't be so dramatic, everyone says this, every single season, and every single time we're surprised when there are more decent, good and great shows than we expected.

Am I the only one that thinks that all anime sounds like trite garbage when you reduce them down to their basic premise? So of course any season's gonna look dire when that's all you're considering. You gotta give shows some wiggle room, even if only a little bit.

This is a great idea that you should definitely do. I'd say it's been nice knowing you, but uh.

Argevollen is on the edge of being worthy of having a thread. The overarcs are good, the low-key approach is interesting, but the moment-to-moment character stuff is awful.


Apart from Nozaki and Space Dandy, I've basically given up on this season - I'm really looking forward to Autumn season, which looks to have some dynamite stuff. Fate Stay Night, Parasyte, Chaika s2 all look like solid bets. I've heard some good thing about the World Trigger manga, and even the Rage of Bahamut card-game tie-in look surprisingly good.

Watch Barakamon you fucker.

This is very true. I thought I'd hate Spring 2014 but it had Is the Order a Rabbit which was great.

Yeah, very important to look deeper than just the blurb, especially because the blurbs they use on season charts are terrible. Go back to previous seasons and check out the descriptions for shows you enjoyed and marvel at how terrible they make it sound!

The best thing to do is to look at the staff names. Director and the head writer (usually filed under series composition) are good ways to start. Not always perfect since nobody bats a thousand, but it's always a nice starting point.

There's a lot of Fall shows I'm planning on checking out but the only one I'm really looking forward to at the moment is Chaika. There's enough sequels and remakes and adaptions of stuff I've read that I'm pretty sure I won't have trouble cobbling together a watch list, though.

Hmm pretty much only care about Build Fighters 2 and Chaika 2. Might watch the other gundam if it's any good.

i think the reason the anime ladies with the big tits wear maid outfits when not wearing their bikini flight suits is actually a deep socio-political message about the dangers of capitalism and how it relates with regards to the over materialistic nature of modern day society

I'm gonna watch the poo poo outta that show because it has pretty much all of my favorite seiyuu, and they will fight dragons with robots.

that's putting alot of words in my mouth that were never really said or implied. even putting ad hominems on at the end when the original post was in no way meant to be an attack on the posters character

i said as a game its gameplay is good, which as they will never play it because of their valid opinion on it's cosmetic features, means they're not really an authority to judge whether or not it is a bad game :)

No, I meant why you would think that people who hate tittyninjas would be mad that the gameplay is good?

I've played it too. And it does have good gameplay. I also hate that it's a huge tittyninja wankfest. But like, if a person hates tittyninjas so much that they wouldn't even give the game the game a shot why would they care if the game is good or not?

You know, I'd love to point how loving stupid that pairing is, for any number of reasons, but I won't bother. And luckily, the author seems to agree.

Instead I'll just point out that there's already and Akame ga Kill! thread, and you should probably take these posts there.

Katsuragi on the Hanzo side and Hikage on the Hebi side. I haven't touched my 3DS in months, though. Gunvolt sort makes me want to turn it back on, but I've heard that it's "designed for speedrunning" which isn't really my cup of tea for Megaman sort of games.
