Terrible stuff I'll be watching next season:
Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka?/Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?; (fyi - the MC meets up with Hestia before he starts dungeon-diving, at least going by the LN)
Nisekoi s2; I am a huge dork for the series, and s2 should boast more Marika antics
Grisaia no Meikyuu; I've only been partially spoiled on what happens since the VN isn't translated
Owari no Seraph; whose translation hasn't moved in quite a while :( the anime will easily clear past the stalling-point in TLs
Shokugeki no Souma; oh god, why does this have the ecchi tag? I hope it's referring to the food :ohdear:
SNAFU s2; 8man is the hero we deserve, but not the hero we need right now.
UBW s2; time for more of UFO-table's fantastic animation and fight scenes :swoon:
Yamada and the Seven Witches; which I prefer over the author's other work Yankee-kun and Megane-chan. Let the hunt begin

Possibly terrible stuff I'll likely end up watching:
Ore Monogatari; everyone seems to think it's cool
Denpa Kyoushi
Etotama

There's a bit more than I thought, honestly. Initially I thought I was only going to be watching about 3 sequels and Yamada.

Are there much in the way of details on the new Lupin III tv series? Just wondering if any of the people who worked on Fujiko Mine or Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone are involved, or if it's going to be more 'traditional' Lupin.
Hence the 'possibly' list :v:

Vol 6 of the Japanese light novel has her down as "Ais Wallenstein", if that's better. Not sure where this Eyes thing originates from.
Even the licenced English localization has it as Aiz, probably just a mistranslation from where Lucy got the summary

90% of the cast is incredibly boring and nothing really interesting happens except for the waver/rider relationship and its conclusion
This is true. Rider and Wave were the absolute best characters in F/Z but the rest just kind of meandered through the plotpoints to reach the ending.
I had hope for Kiritsugu, but even he wasn't al lthat interesting to watch. Maybe it's just because they all looked so bland in comparison to the superior master/servant duo

Chaika had some nice "what the gently caress am I watching" and was fun to watch with friends, anything beyond that. Welp, suit yourself on determinating that anime.

I just like poo poo over the top and out of the way since I can't find anything like LoGH, Samflam, ABP, FMP, GTO, Space Cobra, Lupin, etc.

From what I hear the ending was pretty terrible and rushed.

The ending was a nonsensical goddamned disaster. Not worth your investment.
That's a shame, it was reasonably interesting for the first few arcs or so. Kinda like Lost before they found polar bears on a tropical island that will explode if someone doesn't push the "don't blow up" button periodically.
So it sounds like it continued to be like Lost right through to the end...

Um, do the voice actors actually know anything substantial about an anime before they're actually signed up to do the work?

Most anime scripts are being written on the fly, no?

Hataraku Maou-sama was great, but nobody in their right mind would have predicted that going in given the absolutely cliched premise.
For perspective, only two cast members of the Game of Thrones have actually read the novels so I'll leave it up to your imagination.

I'm glad the art is a few steps up from that in the LN.
I always imagined Hans talking like Nyanta from Log Horizon, here's hoping he's got the same VA

It's a fantasy setting. The seal on the not-demon overlord is broken and as per tradition, 6 of the strongest people are chosen (via a flower emblem appearing on their body) to head into the not-demon territory and take down the overlord. When they all meet up, stuff happens since there's actually 7 'chosen' when they all meet up. The MC not being a generic swordsman prodigy is a nice change.

The first and third arcs were really solid and cool, and left me second-guessing myself a lot as to what's really going on. I can't wait to see how they pull those off in anime form.

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches aired today and it's a pretty faithful adaptation for what I remember of the beginning.

I really liked it and the VA's seem to be having fun with the show as well. Will probably make a new thread for it.

So far the VAs are all a good fit for their respective characters. Yamada-kun is cool and good, I hope it keeps it up.

Also, the MC actually starts dating someone which is a real rarity in the harem genre.
