Allarion posted:Ongaku Shoujo was originally an OVA from Anime Mirai if anyone is wondering, so you can watch that if you're curious about what it is. IDOLS I do like the design of the pink haired girl with the glasses, but otherwise the PVs don't really sell the show as anything standout. Didn't catch the mirai short though, maybe that does something special.

A bunch of half-baked first impressions and thoughts, feel free to skip and/or take with a grain of salt. Aguu: no idea if it’ll be good or not, but intrigued at least. Angolmois: Not my kind of subject matter, but the art style is clean, wouldn’t be surprised if it was halfway decent. Asobi: Could be an interesting comedy, definitely has some Grade A faces in the PV trailer. Will keep an eye on it. Back Street Girls: The premise is skeevy as heck, but I’m unaware as to the actual content of the show proper. Will probably wait to hear what others have to say about it first before checking it out, but I imagine it’ll probably keep that tone throughout. Banana Fish: Apparently the manga is really well regarded? Looks interesting, will probably check it out. Chio: While the production for this has been troubled, the PV looks really interesting, so I’ll likely check out an ep or two at least. Chuukan: Something to put on my backlog until I get around to watching Kaiji s1 and 2  But it’ll probably be fun for those with an itch for more Kaiji.FLCL Progressive and Alternative: No idea if these will wind up being as good as the first season, but at the very least they’re still interesting and I’m definitely enjoying the ride so far. Free!: Not for me. Gintama: More Gintama! Grand Blue: Another case where I’ve heard good things about the manga. Hopefully the anime can do it justice. Will keep an eye on what people have to say about it. Hanebado!: Not sure how the CG will turn out, but this looks like it could have promise. Will check out an ep or two. Happy Sugar Life: Dark subject matter can be tricky to handle, and I don’t really have confidence that this can handle it well. harukana: looks pretty, could be fun. Might watch an ep or two. cell at work: could be fun, will check out an ep at least. high score girl: Novel idea at least, even if the execution doesn’t wind up being all that good. Might check out an ep or two. hyakuren: looks to be painfully generic and uninspired isekai drivel. Isekai Maou: Not expecting much out of this one either, and based on the premise and some key art, could be pretty creepy, but at least this one has an actual identity and the visuals are nice enough. island: Premise has potential, but the PV and the visuals don’t look all that appealing to me. Will be listening to the general consensus on this one. dropkick: Could by a bunch of fun, will check out an ep or two. Kyoto: a new mystery anime, could be good depending on the source material. Will keep an eye on it. Vermillion: Doesn’t interest me Marvel: Really doesn’t interest me. Muhyo: I’m surprised this is getting an anime all of a sudden. I don’t know if it’ll be as good as the manga, but worth keeping an eye on at least. Ongaku Shojo: No strong opinions on It based on the PV or the description.. Will have to see an ep or two to tell if it’ll be fun or not. The Pink Haired girl with the glasses has a cool design, though. Overlord III: Not a fan of Overlord, so I have nothing to really say about this. Many people will like it though. Phantom: What if Persona 5 was about Vampires? Jokes aside, this could be fun, will listen to what people think about the first couple of eps. Planet With: No idea what it’s really about, but Satoshi Mizukami is a great writer, and has been supposedly working on this project for over 4 years, so I have confidence in whatever he’s producing here. Satsuriku: No clue if it’ll be good or not. Senjuushi: Gunboys the Anime. A couple of cool designs in here, though I’m not expecting a substantial plot or anything. Shichisei: Interesting premise, and I do like Lerche as a Studio….will check out an ep or two of this. attack on titian s3: see Overlord III Shinya!: Another classic revival! Will this one be good? Who knows! Will check out an episode or two at least, since I like the artstyle. shoujo kageki: A new idol/musical anime, though this one looks to have staged fight choreography integrated into the musical numbers, which gives it a unique edge. The show also has a good sense of style, especially with the flourishes like the sparkles off of the capes. Will check out an ep or two for sure. Sunoharasou: This looks like bland fanservice at best, creepy fanservice at worst. Will avoid. Sirus: This looks like it’ll be a solid action series, though I probably won’t watch it myself  Tsukumogami: Interesting premise, no idea if it’ll be good or not. Will hear what others think before checking it out. Yume Oukoku: This doesn’t look very well produced…and the character designs are rather bland too  Yuragi-sou: Classic Xebec fanservice anime. Will this be good? I don’t know! Zoids: Not interested. Ani ni Tsukeru 2: Hoping this is just as good as season 1, was a real surprise when it came out last year. I think only me and Davincie watched it… Yama no Susume season 3: Will be one of the best anime of the season, undoubtedly.

Allarion posted:It's not super memorable since Cant already forgot I streamed it as filler on an off-week in idolw@tch, and I only remember the barest plot details of what happened in it. But there's room for TV expansion into more developed characters. oh....well hopefully the anime livens it up a bit, yeah! Allarion posted:
The premise didn't sell me on it, but I'm glad I checked out the PV. There are a ton of great faces and unusual humor present here, and i wouldn't be surprised if it winds up being a top notch comedy.

Fangz posted:Gegege no Kitaro will be continuing into summer, at least, since they just announced a new OP to debut in July. Yeah, it and Hugtto and other longrunners usually don't get mentioned in the continuing series section since it'd require me to do even more research. Speaking of which, you guys and gals should probably check out Hugtto Precure, it's been consistently amazing and one of the best animes of the year so far-it just has so much heart and sincerity put into it and its themes and messages that a lot of other shows can't compare to.

an actual dog posted:Did I miss something about EoC? It's good but I burnt out in the second season because there wasn't much to get invested in, like it's very standard club stuff. I really liked the main relationship in Yuru EoC's first season was very much about getting Aoi out of her shell, and s2 continues this trend, but also deals with themes such as facing and overcoming failure, growing up as a person, and reconciliation. I do slightly prefer the first season over the second one, in part because It connected on a personal level more and because I liked this faster pacing, but both are excellent feel good and life-affirming shows, and if you haven't checked them out I highly encourage you do so, especially if you are an introvert like the main girl Aoi.

Spiritus Nox posted:How are people ITT feeling about Newly Cooly, anyway? I'm enjoying the ride for what it is so far, but in the sense of a direct comparison, it's been weaker In most aspects (Soundtrack is less integral/memorable; Lower animation budget meaning less impactful action scenes, weaker choreography, and a lack of flourish in many aspects like the small details). It does seem like it'll have some unique things to say in comparison to the original, but it's been keeping some of its cards close to its heart, so it's hard to contextualize the whole story without understanding how it'll play out in the end, or knowing if it'll have any connection to season 3.

AnacondaHL posted:Summer and Winter are weaker than Spring and Fall, p much every time. I don't actually feel this is really true with regards to Spring, at least not for the past few years, but I'll give you that Fall still seems to bring a lot of heavy hitters to the table, so to speak, though admittedly that may just be a confirmation bias.

Pootybutt posted:Planet With reminds me a lot of Sekai Seifuku, which I didn't like at all; it's sense of humor and weirdness strike me as really mild and dorky, but it seems to be going somewhere unique and interesting w it, so I have a lil more faith in this production, just not really sucked in yet. A wait and see. This is all Satoshi Mizukami Manga by the by.

I watched a bunch of new anime! It was fun!! Can't wait to see more!!! Hanebado is looking to be a good drama, and has lots of visually appealing shots. Some good character dynamics are shaping up, as well. On the more lighthearted side Harukara Recieve has a colorful, tropical setting that really drew me into it, and there's a great focus on partnership and people working together to help each other. A lot of attention to detail, and as an aside, I simply love the way the eyes are highlighted and colored-it's not natural by any means, but it gives the show a unique visual cue and mashes well with the color palate of the series. Having never read the Manga, I went into Chio-chan blind, aside from the PV. It was...okay. The concept is good, and there were a couple of good gags in here, but the pacing was really awkward-you could tell this was supposed to be paced snappy in the manga, but because it's a full length show and they're not adapting several stories per episode, there are a lot of lingering shots, drawn out asides, and it very much hurt the delivery for many of the jokes. Not to mention, the art and animation quality isn't very standout, so it won't really be doing anything too visually appealing. With that said though, I might still watch another episode or two, since it was still nice as something chill to watch, but it's the weakest show that I'm still following. Also I liked the main character's Voice Actor, no problem there  Planet With was a lot of fun. Visually stylish, even if the CG isn't the best, it's serviceable (Think Tiger and Bunny level CG). There was a lot of great visual and wordplay humor going on, which got a few reactions from me. 'offness' of everything thrown at you right away really sets the tone for the kind of humor and story that we'll be dealing with, and based on Satoshi Mizukami's previous works, I have confidence that the story will stick the landing and be entertaining along the way. Definitely a must watch for me.

But the princess was dying of cancer before she was chosen, and if she wins, she's going to lose her power and go back to her deathbed. She will never be an adult. A) Some bits of that are inaccurate B) There are some huge spoilers in there, you should edit this post.

No, her motivations for why she's doing the thing isn't revealed until a significant portion in. The fact that you couldn't even remember that there were 12 knights, not 7, speaks to how well you remember the story. It's not cool to ruin the story for other potential readers in the thread because you don't feel like using spoiler brackets dude.

Squidster posted:Out of an overabundance of caution, I've added some spoiler tags. It's... sort of a lifeless pitch without that twist and motivation, though. Thanks for doing this. And yeah, the story is strong enough that even knowing the spoilers doesn't take much fun out of the enjoyment of it, but yeah I see your point that sometimes spoilers are what sells a person on a series, and that a good story will remain good even if you know the plot twists. That's why spoiler tags are a good middleground, since they let people who wanna jump in virtually blind do so, but provide clarification for people who want a tougher sell.

Mentat Radnor posted:Asobi Asobase was really good and funny, and the ED is Agreed. It was a fairly unique comedy of errors and I adored this, from the visuals to the sound design. It even has puppets in the after credits skit! What more could you want? Cells at work has a lot of charm that makes it a quick watch for some neat metaphorical visual humor, and light science facts. I wouldn't say it's the standout of the season, nor a must-watch, but it's definitely enjoyable, and I'll continue to watch it. Jeez, I'm already watching more shows this season than Winter and Spring combined, and there are still more potentially good shows coming out! This season, Anime is hot!

Just finished watching Revue Starlight. Holy poo poo, that was intense and fascinatingly beautiful. Also don't be fooled into thinking it's "just an idol/musical anime"- It's absolutely a magical girls show in the style of Revolutionary Girl Utena. If you loved Utena, you will love the first episode of Starlight Revue. Please watch this really cool show everyone!

To further expand on my earlier post: Starlight Revue has fantastic choreography, animation, and a lovely OST accompanying it's action sequences, which feels like a bigger budget, modern day Ikuhara anime, a new age "Revolutionary Girl Utena". It even has a lot of similar stylistic and symbolic, almost dreamlike qualities that set it apart from most other contemporary anime. Even putting all of that aside, the subject matter of choreographed musical stage plays is something rarely, if ever before, the focus of an Anime, a medium that can make the subject matter truly come to life and do things that would be difficult in a traditional medium such as film, and I'm really curious to see how inventive the staff of the show will get with the setpieces, transformations, dream sequences, and action scenes. It truly brought a smile to my face few other anime in recent memory have. And yes, it's pretty gay too.
