Onihei is a long-running and highly popular multimedia franchise, from what I can tell (this show will mark its fiftieth anniversary), and it'd be cool if it successfully makes the jump to animation, but I didn't see anything particularly stunning in a cursory glance across the director's resume, so I'm not getting super hyped just yet.

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. The bits I saw of it also included a little more teamwork than the shonen standard, which was a refreshing change. It looked as good as BONES's shonen adaptations usually do, too, which was nice.

GorfZaplen posted:The Saint Seiya spin-off about a female saint is getting an anime Hopefully it's like Saint Seiya Omega, and she gets to be totally badass for fifty episodes of charming, low-budget fun before the execs catch on and have the original cast take over the show. Omega S1 was pretty neat, y'all.

Everything Burrito posted:The manga is by Natsume Ono and I'm glad they're maintaining her art style, can't wait for all the whining to start about how ugly everyone is like House of Five Leaves got I had no idea what you were taking about, since I couldn't see any way you could consider the designs in that trailer ugly unless you have a deep, personal objection to characters having noses, so I did a GIS of House of Five Leaves. ... dang. That is not an effective visual transition from manga to anime. Was Edo experiencing a wave of immigration from Innsmouth or something?

Space Flower posted:Urara Meirochou seems extremely cute. The premise is that the main character Chiya comes to a city where girls from around the country go to become uranaishi who divine fortunes, and becomes an apprentice uranaishi together with three other girls with the intention of becoming the greatest fortuneteller, an Urara. Well, that's the premise, but mostly they seem to just eat a lot. How do you even get promoted as a fortune-teller, anyway?

I can see it taking on elements of MonMusu's cheerful, off-the-wall romcom style (minus a few metric tonnes of raunch) if they decide to make a romance subplot between the two teachers a thing. Which I would not object to.

Freakazoid_ posted:I was wondering why nobody got excited. I don't read the manga. Is it really bad or just got predictable/boring? The coup arc is a little slow, brings the whole can o' worms about the story's politics to the surface (I'm not saying it goes full Hitler, just that it draws attention to some uncomfortable and so-far unanswered questions about where Isayama is taking all this), and involves significantly less sicknasty Titan MMA. That said, the arcs before it do involve quite a bit of sicknasty Titan MMA, plus some other extremely cool poo poo, so it'll still be a fun ride. May just fall off a bit in its second half, particularly since I don't trust Araki to make the smart directorial choices necessary to improve that arc - he's not great at pacing, and a little too faithful in his adaptations.

Guy Goodbody posted:Maidragon isn't even the best monster woman anime this season. Eh. Demi-chan keeps sticking these little harem elements in its story of a guy being a surrogate dad to three adorable monster-girl daughters, and it comes across as way more unsettling than an actual, straight-up harem romcom would. Pick a genre and stick with it, guys, because the two just don't mesh.

Guy Goodbody posted:He's not a surrogate dad, he's a teacher. Eh, you know what I mean. He's very much placed as the main responsible male adult in their lives in everything from his character design to his voice-acting, creating a distance that makes the harem elements that creep through anyway feel so much weirder. More conventional teacher-student harem shows tend to de-emphasise that gap, creating a fantasy world where the situation isn't as weird as it would be in real life, while Demi-chan spends most of its time laying out that yes, he's an adult, and yes, they're children, and yes, that's how they'll be treated respectively, and then every so often goes 'but they're kind of legit romantic prospects anyway'.

There Bias Two posted:I don't get that vibe at all on his end. The only thing I notice is a guy who reacts slightly awkwardly to the fact that he's crossing over typical student-teacher boundaries by mentoring them on a fatherly level. It was mainly Episode 4 that weirded me out a little. Between a teacher giving one of her students advice on how to seduce a fellow teacher ('maybe you should try wearing nice clothes?') and a joke about our protagonist wigging out over his student's boobs pressing into his chest when he hugged her too tight, it kind of shook my confidence that they'd keep things non-creepy.

I only watched the early episodes of Blue Exorcist S1, but I liked the unusual emphasis on teamwork by shonen standards. Does that stick around? Meanwhile, you really do have to admire the light novel industry for its tireless efforts to dig out fresh and exciting new material from the fetish mines.

AnacondaHL posted:Crazy concept: it's ok to not like things that Japan likes. We'll have to wait a few months for the soil samples from the base of Mount Fuji to be analysed in order to determine what Japan likes, though. I don't think there's been anything with Norio Wakamoto's pleasing tectonic vibrations for a while, so I hear they're relying on migration patterns and rainfall estimates for their best guess.

wielder posted:ID-0 has a new PV. Here's hoping it's better than Active Raid. Taniguchi can usually get the best out of his writers, but that depends on them being good to begin with, and Kuroda's output is... variable. He did Build Fighters, but also Try. He did the first season of 00, but also everything else. His last collabs with Taniguchi were Infinite Ryvius and s-CRY-ed, so that's probably our best guide here.

Well, judging by the key visual and summary, it looks like the folks behind sin: Nanatsu no Taizai decided that the best way to improve on 'bland high school student is surrounded by cute superpowered girls with big boobs' as a concept was to make the bland high school student a cute girl with big boobs as well. I, for one, respect them for that.

Amusingly terrible writing kicking off right from the first episode. For instance, the lead is so wracked by self-loathing that he only eats cold food to match his cold heart.
