Endorph posted:Ao no Exorcist is pretty much standard shonen - it's got some decent fights, some great side characters, and a kind of meh protagonist. The female characters get a bit more screentime than in most shonen (probably because it's written by a woman,) but that's really the only big thing it has over any other b-level shonen. Hey, "totally generic shonen anime but written by a woman" gave us Kekkaishi and D. Gray Man. It's a very tenuous connection to quality but this is still the first thing that's given me a glimmer of interest on Ao no Exorcist.

Kiznaiver wasn't ridiculous enough, it really petered out at the end.

nielsm posted:One Room is intensely creepy, I'd say close to the definition of that word. It's "first person", you see through the eyes of the "main character", who has no voice apart from any you add yourself. A high school girl moves in next door, greets you, and later asks you to help her study. The camera movement is intensely "male gaze". Very unsettling to watch. split every episode into two sections where the other half is her POV and you'd be approaching High Art

Davincie posted:i heard the good part of occultic was the direction tho? the story as far as i could stomach it at least... wasn't good Yeah Occultic;Nine just felt like a bunch of static characters stumbling around in the dark while occasionally having the real plot explained to them (and the audience) directly.

Spiritus Nox posted:If we get more Big O I hope it doesn't acknowledge or make any effort to explain the ending of season 2. I'd like it to acknowledge it, retconning it out of spite would be dumb. Season 2 owned, ending and all. At worst it was a little rushed and some of the stuff that the writer later talked about in an interview (basically just about Roger and Dorothy's future in the new world, nothing about the nature of the old world or what happened between Big O and Big Venus would have been nice to see.

I watched like 50-60 episodes of Gintama some years ago and the one thing that stood out to me was how inconsistent it is Like you'll have dozens of episodes in a row where nothing funny happens or at least nothing to raise more than a smirk and then every once in a while they just knock it out of the loving park for 20 minutes at a time without a single miss

if there were a show that was Good Gintama all of the time it would be DMC-tier, but there isn't

I ignored ACCA for ages because ADTRW circle-jerking about cakes is generally a sign that I won't care, but no, ACCA is really good.

Even if you write off episode six the show immediately picks up a running gag about a grown woman constantly hitting on an eleven year old boy

Tanya is okay for such a weird and suspect premise but it's not really anything more than okay; it's just a story about a war criminal and his feud with God and very little would be lost if he were a regular adult instead of a kid.

I think Tanya could conceivably be in my top 3 but it's a misleading statement because it's more like Rakugo and ACCA dueling in the stratosphere causing sonic booms and a creepy little not-German girl looking up at the sky going "what the gently caress was that?"

Nate RFB posted:-Rakugo even at it's lowest was basically higher than everyone else Seriously people, watch Rakugo. You know how Chihayafuru is a really good drama even if you don't care about Karuta, because the characters shine through? Rakugo is better than that; I finished the first episode and immediately went to see if there were rakugo performances in Pittsburgh. And it's got really good drama.
