If my trend from previous seasons is anything to go by, I will probably watch 1 episode each of two shows and that's it.

It's even animated by Bones for maximum mainstream appeal.

It's okay to watch mainstream anime. Don't let the 'normie' tag bring your enjoyment of a show down.

"Hi Everybody!"
AnimeLab's picked up a bunch of simuldubs for current shows;

  • Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
  • Fairy Tail Zero
  • Dagashi Kashi
  • Assassination Classroom
  • Snow White with the Red Hair
  • Prince of Stride: Alternative!

A quick glance looks like they've updated with all existing episodes thus far rather than just trickling them in from the first one.

I'm sorry but the wiki clearly shows that devil is a part-timer was anime of the year for 2013, I just don't see how you can argue when the proof is right there

The premise is very basic but it's got a fun cast and fun fights and is really good about sharing the limelight so almost everyone gets something to do.

That said, if you hate shounen action series it probably won't do much to convince you otherwise.

Dessel posted:

This is a real good show. With this and Erased going on, there are some really good (relatively) chill shows in the season. Rakugo also really well hits the "I wouldn't be embarrassed if my parents caught me watching this.-factor, lacking the lovely anime tropes which says something about the show's overall quality, not many shows like that around. Could imagine the show being an actual good live action series with a lot of it unchanged.
