The Irregular at Magic High School (light novel)
geralt said: skyzblue said: Fate Stay Night Mushishi S2 this year. Nope, I doubt it will receive much hype like SAO/SnK. As much as I love Mushishi, I don't think it's that popular. Fate Stay/Night is definitely gonna be big, but again I don't think it can be put on the same level as SAO 2 in terms of popularity. Hell, even the second season of Durarara will probably generate more hype than Fate Stay/Night. Besides, outside of Japan, Fate Stay/Night is really not that popular. Anything Type Moon for that matter, is more like a cult following than anything else. How many Fate Stay/Night cosplayers do you see in US/Euro conventions? Hardly any. How many SAO/AoT cosplayers do you see? Too many. Fate Stay/Night doesn't stand a chance against SAO II or Durarara!! S2 and it never will, not matter how good it is. (Although Fate/Zero ramped up the popularity, I don't recall it being a huge deal as it was airing. That's just how under the radar Type Moon shows are around here.) As for the present moment, Mahouka and Mekaku City Actors have the highest chance of hype. I expect things to change once the summer season shows come on air. (Jojo, although well known, is also a sort of cult followed show. It's not going to get ridiculously hyped like these two.) |

| As long as the MC doesn't cheat on Asuna this show could be pretty popular. |
| This show makes SAO look like LotGH. |

| Hmmm, I don't see that big of a hype on this show. Honestly, I don't even know why there would be hype. First episode was mediocre, MCs sister was really annoying and that "preview" of future fight did nothing to make me excited. On the contrary, teenagers shooting nuclear bombs from their fingers makes me roll eyes and press fast forward on interesting part. That "preview" bit was by far the worst thing in this episode for me. It was everything I hate. As for fanboys (going through 1st episode discussion there are many), well, I just tend not to comment on anime with HUGE following. Simply not worth it. Getting insulted over pointing out flaws is not worth it :) Let's see future episodes before judging though, eh? :) |
| Well, first day12 hours payoff is edging out at the top 400 and top 1000 in popularity, lets see where this will be at next week. Not sure if anyone remembers where attack on titan and sword art were in their first day of airing but I remember Attack on Titan hit top 15 (placed 12 or so I believe) within the first week, did it not? Sword Art placed somewhere in the top 100 but that was shortlived obviously. Kafka-san said: What the fuck does that mean?This show makes SAO look like LotGH. |

| Fairy Tail 2014 is the new SAO/AoT |
| AOT was #9 after first week iirc. Glowing 10s across the board in reviews. This doesn't even come close to that :) Well, no matter how I feel about AoT in general, that 1st episode was something beyond logic and reason, it was flawless, from soundtrack to actual animations. If I had to rate AoT based on that episode alone I would probably rate it 10 as well. I never give rating before at least 5 episodes though :) |
UltraZulwarn said: Kaioshin_Sama said: Shojo-chanCat said: Mahouka was ranked third for the top-selling Light Novels in 2013, with Mekakucity Actors being 2nd and Sword Art Online obviously being 1st. I guess It's hyped??? I'm only watching it to see what the overly obsessed fanboys think is so great about this series. And I'll be checking out Mekaku City Actors a bit to see what overly obsessed fangirls think is so great about that series. In all seriousness though, I don't know why people let hype effect them so much, it's just playing right into the hands of people that mainly just want your money and time and will say anything to get it. Just watch what you like and who gives a fuck what other people think in the long run. Honestly as much as both this and Mekaku are hyped to shit like LITERALLY every Aniplex show that airs on Saturday in this block (there's a rather obvious reason both of these shows are back to back) neither is even close to being my most anticipated show of the season. They both seem like they could be interesting and at least worth watching, but they also seem kind of just like hyped up pandering at the same time. Well, As a LN reader, I am sure looking forward to the anime, but not like "this's gonna be the best anime ever!!" or some sort. Part of the reasons for the "hype" (or at least for me) is that it took so damn long for the anime adaptation to come out. After freakin' 12 volumes (TWELVE!! I tell ya!!!), Mahouka finally got the anime. Maybe that's not really long, but other shows got theirs more quickly. Date a Live got the announcement when it reached....wait, 4 vols????? Other recent anime such as Strike the Blood, Log Horizon also haven't passed the 10th vol yet. Why this is popular? There are many things to talk about but in summary, I guess one could say it's quite refreshing, especially in the age of fanservice and good-for-nothing protagonists. The MC - Tatsuya, whether he is OP or not, carries a trait that I really do appreciate: he tolerates no bullshit and cares less about bullshit matters. Remember when you see John McClane (Die Hard) kicks the bad guys ass and the catchphrase "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker!", I get the same feeling when I read about Tatsuya I read a bit of the manga. It kind of appeals to my interests pretty well on a number of levels and seems like one of those rare light novel series you get that actually attempts to go somewhere with it's premise and be expansive as opposed to just be strictly rom-com harem fare (Index, Accel World, Horizon and the like) possibly cause they're much harder to do and require more money and it looks good enough. My goal is kind of just to enjoy it as a guilty pleasure and then if it develops into something more consider it a nice bonus. bastek66 said: IS THIS MAL OR /a/? Seems like retardness is spreading. Yes to all of the above. |
| Hmmm. Now that I remeber it, theres a scene, probably coming next episode that might be a major turn off for a bunch of people HIGHLY depending on how it is directed. We will have to wait and see. |

| Hints of incest will probably scare a lot of people away. |
JizzyHitler said: it wont be as big as either of those but it'll be big, its apparently gonna be the next sword art online in terms of poor quality in writing from what a ton of people are saying so this may be the next flame war subject for months to come, hell it already kind of is all thanks to one single user's obsession with it wtf are you talking about. It's hyped bc of the LN writing quality. |
| well, if a series is getting this much hate and attention, it's gotta be somewhat watchable. if a series were really bad, no one would even know it exists or even dare to make comments about it |

SodaPop65 said: Ugh I don't hate Fairy Tail, but it's definitely not my demographic. Wayyyyy too juvenile. I don't consider myself a very mature person either, but even I find Fairy Tail to be annoyingly childish. The fact that some reviewers gave it a better score than Mahouka's first episode makes me want to punch a wall. Not that first episode reviews mean much for the show, but good reviews do attract viewers. And yea, AoT's first episode was amazing. I think we were all stunned by it, it deserved it's place in the rankings. Hopefully Mahouka makes its way up there over time. SAO's first episode was amazing as well. Hell, the whole Aincrad arc was amazing, one of the best things I've ever seen. Too bad the author decided to turn around and take a dump on his work in ALO though. I got news for you Mr. Mature Watcher. All four shows have same demographic. |

| It might become next SAO. People will love the shit out of it, despite horrible writing and characters, and light novel readers will go on how the anime ruined the light novel. |

| Maybe yes, maybe no. We should wait till July. |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: SodaPop65 said: Kefkiroth said: Hints of incest will probably scare a lot of people away. I'm trying to clear up the misinformation all I can, but it's like people that want to criticize the incest element purposefully ignore my posts :/ They will criticize anything with hype. Let's wait until a few episode and they will see that this show is "More than meets the eyes". While people certainly do like to criticize anything with hype, there are actually valid reasons to be afraid of incest or harem unless a person is familiar with LN or read a post from sodapop. Now, I do not care about either of those, heck, my favorite VN features both, g-senjou no maou. Well, both are optional there and both are only semi-visible, but present. Let's look objectively, say, my perspective, non LN reader and neutral, without hearing ANYTHING about the show previously: - It was a mediocre opening episode with really annoying MCs sister, possible sister-brother relationship (look at room scene where she leans on him), possible harem (including sister, MC talked to 4 girls, all basically running to him) and a preview which looked like something that would put Uchiha Madara powers to shame. MC seemed fine, but so did the one in Chrome Shelled Regios, a show that had extremelly similar first episode in terms of MC, school and harem. This is what first episode looked like to me, so yes, I was not impressed. Now, I didn't even know about LN before watching, I just watch anime, not interested what they are based on. Some of my fears have been cast away by non-spoiler message from one of guys here. If it wasn't for that message I'd probably keep many ot previously mentioned first episode shortcomings on mind going further. So, while the LN may be great, I am giving it FSN treatment (2nd favorite VN), where it has to prove it is good as anime, LN is of no interest to me. |
| And while what you say might be somewhat right about trolls, keep in mind some people don't even comment on discussion boards. I gave you my first impression of a show, completely neutral, since before watching it I knew nothing of the show. If I did not comment and if I did not read replies or even come here in the first place I would most certainly consider it incest/harem anime. I'd keep watching because I do not mind those, but if I did, it would be instantly dropped. Also, a hype or good VN/LN do not mean adaptation is gonna be any good. Examples: SAO and FSN come to mind. Both have godlike base material, especially FSN, since it is basically 50h of text explaining every single thing. And look at adaptation. That is why if something is mediocre (first episode of MK here), I will say so until proven otherwise. I will gladly say I love this anime, as soon as it does something worthy of praise :) If I were to rate first episode I would give it 6, without preview part an 8. |
| Is SAO and SNK some separate genre that you invented to shitpost? |
|
SodaPop65 said: My argument was that Fairy Tail is less mature than SNK and SAO. Well, that Fairy Tail is generally immature in general due to the lack of anything ever happening. It might as well be an episodic show that lasts 10 hours per episode. Once the episode's over, everything resets to happy funtime and everything's fine. Anime is immature. Deal with it. So what it airs late night, there is blood and tits. It always will be called immature. FT good for tits. Mahouka is immature too. Who cares? |

SodaPop65 said: You must have a very serious constitution.If something can make me tear up, I consider it mature. |
| If by "next SAO/AOT" you mean the forums will be just as bad then yes. Oh my dear lord yes. |
PWJP said: If by "next SAO/AOT" you mean the forums will be just as bad then yes. Oh my dear lord yes. After seeing the episode 1 discussion, I have to agree. Of course, it's still early to decide whether or not it will be the most hyped this year, there are other shows this year that will be hyped just as much if not more. |
 |
| I don't think so. It may have an audience, but it's nowhere near as large as the other two and while there will definitely be debates it won't get as bad as it did when SAO/AOT did. The LN itself isn't exactly(my opinion) A-grade material either(still enjoyable), so I don't expect the anime nor the hype to be that huge. It will probably start out with a lot of attention, but die down as time goes on. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| No, the pilot episode is too weak. SAO and AOT have amazing pilot episode, so good that it brought in a bunch of new anime fan. Rettousei's episode one will not have such an effect. If we're to compare the 3 show, Rettousei will look like some 2nd rated trash. (Harsh, I know, but it's the truth) If I am to compare, I'd say this show is more like Chrome Shelled Regios, except even Chrome Shelled Regios have a much better pilot episode. (In term of getting people hungry for more.) That alone is big enough to impact it's overall influence on anime fan in general. It's the "OMG THIS IS AWESOME" factor it doesn't have, I mean ffs, if you show a new anime fan episode one of Guilty Crown, I assure you he/she will scream for more. my humble opinion. |
