Best Anime of this season?

JOQUINYD said:

I asked if people think this is the best anime of the season so far. I do not really think this will attract hate to the anime. Most of the comments are positive.

I could have asked the same in the weekly episodes discussions, but I wanted to make a separate post to see if people are enjoying this anime as much as I am.

Devilman: Crybaby is anime of the season by far for me, so, nope (though, I've only watched/am watching/have tried to watch 5 seasonals for now, so, yeah...) It'd probably be third on the five, after Devilman: Crybaby and Gakuen Babysitters. Saiki Kusuo S2, that I haven't watched yet will probably be in the TOP 3 as well. Except if it's really deceiving, which I doubt it'll be.

Anyway, so, I know the show is supposed to be slow, in the sense that it's all about the stages of going to Antartica, but since I lost interest in stuff quite easily when "not much" happens + I watch it as a seasonal (having to wait between episodes, and all) I guess it just isn't the best setting for my enjoyment to reach its max. I still enjoy it, think it's cute, touching and pretty, definitely get why people love this show so much, but it still isn't my favorite from what I've watched.

Basically the show is not a fujo bait, yeah we got it.

One of the worst anime of the season along with Yuru Camps. Very boring with bad story. Almost noting happened in last 6 episodes

Good anime = Overlord 2, Seven Dealy sins 2, Citrus, Koi wa Ameagari no You ni, killing bites etc



I think this season has large number of great anime. Seven Dealy sins 2 is masterpiece, last fight was great. Even shows like Killing Bites is so much fun to watch compared to the slow pace and boring show like Yuru Camps and this one

not even close, i give this anime a chance till 3rd episode and dropped it..
for me, Saiki Kusuo s2 is definitey AOTS for this season and next season as i aready wait this sequel to be aired for a year.

On the other hand, one thing which distracts me from rating YM very high (apart from the melodrama and the filler ep) is characters talking about the big financial difficulties of their civilian Antartic expedition during ep7, while Yorimori anime itself is obviously extremely well funded, in music, voice cast and HD visual art. That's a paradox and makes it hard to take the plot seriously, considering how many worthy anime projects had real financial and/or manpower difficulties this year (e.g. zombie-level CGI in Tsuki ga Kirei, stickman animation and recap ep in Just Because, even Yurucamp has unjusitified still scene use sometime).

Maybe Yorimori staff should have decreased animation quality gradually as the episodes progress into darker and more miserable territory? Remember there isn't even satellite video coverage on the inside of Antartica (only voice-modem level comms provided by the Iridium sat network), so HD is not realistic.

I would certainly not disagree that Sora yori is a more unique show in premises and writing, but I'd actually make a case for Yuru Camp being more unique in execution.

AbeldeMedici said:

Yep, I agree that Yuru Camp has some extra appeal, I think due to the atmosphere (in a similar way Non Non Biyori did with its rural setting). Maybe it's just that next season's top iyashikei will most likely be Amanchu Advance for me and this last one does a better work with character building.

jal90 said:
Oh, I can understand that then! I've heard a lot about Amanchu lately, I'll need to check it out.

It's between this and Takagi-san for me, and it was tough to narrow down.

GundamSoul said:

Yeah. Takagi-san is another of my favorites this season. I binged all the manga after the first episode and it is awesome. If the anime ends and adapts chapter 31, which I think it will, it will be a perfect adaptation. Love it.

SJ7izm said:


I'm with you on that. I say we aim higher even higher and hope for a Moto adaptation next.

thepath said:
People who love this anime also love Yuru Camps, Amanchu, shitcaptor sakura and other shits

Not surprised when you have shit taste you are going to like shit anime

THe OP asking if Sora yori mo Tooi Basho ep7 made me cry ?! LOL. There is noting that makes want to cry here. Watch Violet Evergarden Episode 7, thats how you make a good drama

Kittens-kun said:
Just stop. We get it, you hate anything that has even the slightest hint of SOL.

MOB_ABOMINATOR said:
Was planning to watch this anime but before that i wanted to ask about how is the story line ? Is it good or it's only moe moe stuff, cause I'm not into anime which has no plot with only cute girls doing cute things

JOQUINYD said:


Oh boy. The story is inspiring, but nothing that will blow you away. However, the characters are excellent and they made the show for everyone.

Moe is not a recurring strategy in this anime, but the animation is moe alike.

Give it a try, for me it is really worth it.

MOB_ABOMINATOR said:
thanks mate I'll give it a try once all the episodes gets aired.

JOQUINYD said:


Please let me know what you thought the anime once you have finished it. Hope you like it.
