I just finished marathoning the 1st season. While it was entertaining, I hope for better things in this season.

It doesn't take an elitist to find all the flaws and reach the conclusion that this is a mediocre show compared to what's out there.

Yes parts of it were enjoyable, but on the whole I found it borderline, if not entirely disappointing.

Only casuals could consider this a masterpiece.

listen casual, both Naruto and ZnT are quality shows and just like 42% of other people I consider (without fillers) Naruto a 9. Blue Gender and A.Z are above average shows and an 8 seems justified.

My ratings have nothing to do with you being a casual. I do find it hilarious though, because you can find many obvious anime I've overrated but since you're just a casual you wouldn't even know what to look for lmao.

Casual or not, my standards aren't low enough to consider Arslan Senki S1 a "masterpiece" as the poster before you claimed it to be. To keep things brief, ZephSilver's review on AS perfectly captures what I thought was wrong with that show.

Whatever, have it your way - 0/10 troll. Feel free to continue this nonsense, but I am not interested in wasting any more time on this banter.

Spring season starts in the first week in April, that is only a month and half from now.

If it isn't announced till now then the chance of it coming next spring is slim to none.

I actually rated those a 9 simply because I liked how much rage they caused on their respective forums on MAL and their ability to upset SJW's left and right. There are plenty of ecchis that I don't bother with. My ratings can be arbitrary from time to time.

Arslan Senki is overrated, as is Baccano. That's just my opinion, but I find no satisfaction in mindlessly agreeing with the herd on a show that I didn't enjoy.

I actually lol'ed to your reason for rating 9 to those shows.
One simply can't please everyone. If you can't enjoy those shows, so be it. I often can't enjoy shows that are rated >8 by ppl too.

Everyone has their reasons for liking or disliking. I, for one am excited for the new season. I always loved the Novel series the anime is based off of and enjoyed the tale he got the idea from, Amir Arsalan.
I look forward to seeing what they decide to do next in the anime.

I wasn't aware Berserk, Mawaru Penguindrum, Code Geass and Sidonia no Kishi were ecchis. Hmmm, I guess a rewatch is in order.

See my response above for why I gave BW/VDM 9.

Mononoke is overrated in my opinion. The story is highly derivative compared to one of Ghibli's earlier works, Nausicaa - except that I preferred Nausicaa on the whole.

Note that 7 isn't actually a bad rating. If you even read the scoring captions on MAL, 7 is considered good, 8 very good.

Regardless, I don't take anime rating seriously,though my practices seem to be affecting you personally. I can't be held responsible for that, though I suppose I should start putting trigger warnings in my posts.

huh didn't expect that at all. I only see it listed as 5 episode on MAL however do you have any other sources that say its 5 episodes cause if it is they where probably better off making it as a movie or something.

Nothing is said about the second season's number of episodes. There is a spin-off short ONA, not sure if that is related though.

Yeah.. I prefer to take people ratings with a grain of salt. We all have our own tastes and if the dude finds more entertainment and value in shows with boobs over a critically acclaimed masterpiece like Princess Mononoke, then that's on him.

IMO, I think this show at least gets a 7 in my eyes. It's good enough for me, fulfilled the entertainment value, had a niche of epicness to it, and was an overall solid fun show to watch.

What are those shorts? I mean I love the color scheme but man, shorts on Arslan's just doesn't really fit him at his age. But I understand because of the place they're travelling to in Fuijin Ranbu but just shorts.

Also, Daryun looks better in full black. I think these are just their casual outfits so it should be fine. I look forward to seeing Arslan in his clothes though. I love the top but not the shorts and leg warmers (what are those, leather wrappings, for what?)

Elam looks awesome! :D

I was initially really against Arslan Senki because it was adapting Arakawa-sensei's version rather than the novel, but I've gotten over that. I enjoy it more as an action series than a epic and that's fine. I like my warfare stuff.

Saying that, is there enough material from the manga to be covered? O.o

They already went past the Manga in S1 as far as I remember. They are just covering the novels now, using the manga's character designs.

They had just started covering the novels, I thought it would be 25 episodes again, covering at least books 5-8, when arslan becomes king for realsies.

plus not adapting the rest of the story faithfully will not explain the magicians in season 1 and stuff. yah i'm almost throwing a tantrum.
