felice Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Saw Evangelion 3 the other day. It was odd. They're certainly deviating further away from the original series now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant Bard Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The ending of Uchouten Kazoku was perfect. Pitch perfect.I wish there was more still, but yes, a stark contrast with the Gatchaman ending, which looked like it skipped two episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerolunar Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 For those interested, these are the anime airing this fall:http://i4.minus.com/ibpnru1wwuvbln.jpg What are you going to be watching? I think Pupa and Coppelion looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well, the only thing that leaps out as interesting is Valvrave. A couple of others might be interesting but is hard to judge from the summary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a wooden chair Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well, the only thing that leaps out as interesting is Valvrave. A couple of others might be interesting but is hard to judge from the summary. Chihayafuru OVas too. Log Horizon might be ok, seems like it will have the same premise as SoA.

Pliskin Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Samurai Flamenco (from the director of Brain's Base : Durarara!!, Baccano!, etc) and Kill la Kill (from the team of Gurren Lagann) are the main attractions this season. Those who enjoyed Valvrave will continue to enjoy it. Those who watch sports anime will have their due with the new seasons of Ippo and Kuroko (and other stuff). And there is sufficient moelolishit and fujoshit for the others. A great season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a wooden chair Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 You've sold me on giving Flamenco a shot just by mentioning Dura and Baccano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerolunar Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Kill la Kill is hyped on other forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 A great season. Eh? I really don't see it. Might be some good stuff, but one or two watchable shows does not a good season make. (admittedly, these kinds of previews tends to be very tricky to juge, these summaries can be misleading, I believe Penguindrum was referred to as "A story about three siblings who meet some mysterious penguins." which... Yeah) Chihayafuru OVas too. Log Horizon might be ok, seems like it will have the same premise as SoA. Ooh, Chihayafuru OVA's? I'm so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerolunar Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just watched the first episode of Coppelion - and liked it. You should try it out, I think it has potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah, it definitely has potential. But it feels like the kind of potential that could easily be wasted y'know? But still, I like the scenery porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a wooden chair Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Watched episodes 1 of Kyoukai no Kanata and Kill La Kill.Kyoukai no Kanata drew me in even though I swear all of it has been done before. So long as it sticks to the more supernatural and doesn't take a huge slice of life route it should hold up well I think.Kill La Kill was ..different. The animation is intense and I liked the art style, but the fanservice however blatantly admitted to by the characters is still a bit much. Though from what it looks like aside from her primary goal the protagonist will have a secondary goal of unsexifying her uniform in a way you'll need to watch the very end of the episode to see a precursor too. I can get behind that for her sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant Bard Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Watched Kill la Kill 1, it was not bad, and in a way I found it more like re: Cutey Honey than like Gurenn Lagann. Well, anyway, considering the guys writing and directing it, there is little chance that it'll end up a mere fanservice mediocrity. I like the very idea of reverse fanservice as the series goes on, it's usually the other way round, with the outfits getting skimpier as the series goes on. The Kyousogiga ONA was re-released for TV with a few added scenes and a few removed. It's extremely enjoyable that way. I'm expecting good things for what comes next. Watched Coppelion, and I am nonplussed. So you engineer super-humans, but you send them out to a disaster zone in school girl uniforms (city shoes, unfit for long walks, skirts, ditto, no knives, no camping kits, not equipment...), and with school bags? With no motorized transport? You make them walk to a destination you reach easily by helicopter shortly after? It's a chemical attack disaster area and somehow they find enough edible food and potable water to survive in autonomy for days (weeks, months?) Also enough energy sources to cook, and they also have some sort of portable refrigerator for the seafood they are shown eating to not go bad? They have no training and rebel against direct orders even though they are so special and were raised for the job? What is the bloody job anyway? To roam around and do jack all? This is so stupid.

Pliskin Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Kill la Kill is awesome.The character design is a masterpiece, something I'd never thought we would see again. And the uniform is like the best designed costume ever. All those insipid ecchi of the last decade... KlK just came and sent them all to the garbage: "You know nothing". It did better in a field where it isn't even supposed to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Sinner Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Fate/Zero anyone? I watched the first couple of episodes and it is fucking amazing.The plot is about seven masters who are fighting for the holy grail. They all have different motives for why they want the grail because the grail can fulfill them one wish.Then they are the servants who the masters have to summon in order to succeed over the other masters. Those servants are mostly historically important figures.The good thing about this show is that tit is comparable to song of ice and fire. There are some masters or servant you like and want to win but only one can get the grail in the end.Some will find the first episode kinda slow and it is but after that it's starting to get mad here is the trailerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-7PFiut1HI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was the bad quality of Fate/Stay that got me, but I have enough medical time off coming up to where I'll probably end up watching this. Anyone else have good experiences with the series as a whole, or just one specific one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Anyone else have good experiences with the series as a whole, or just one specific one? Just forget about the series. Fate/Zero stands alone, because Urobuchi wrote it. The rest is garbage. And waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Nah. KLK could have been amazing. But the outfit was too much. I hate excessive fanservice unless the show is meant to essentially be....excessive fanservice. Its just distracting and it isn't funny. The girl isn't even that hot regardless.

Pliskin Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It's a Gainax show (well, at least, the same team, let's say it's Gainax for the sake of the point), of course it's all about fanservice.They even invented the term fanservice.But it's about true fanservice, literally. Not only the sexual connotation it has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
