| Looking forward to some of these |
 |
| Hyped for Owarimonogatari. Noragami Aragoto is also a must watch. As for the others, I'll prolly just pick a few randomly to see if any are interesting. |
 |
| I count less than 10 interesting shows.. looks to be another weak season. noragami2, haikyuu2, one punch man. |

vodall said: This year could very well end without having aired anything that suits my taste. Unless you're a card carrying super otaku this has been a positively brutal year for TV anime. It's like everyone just kind of stopped giving a shit. Adaptations of Light Novels out the ass, feels like every original has been written by some Visual Novel author whose sole reason for being there is because they're mega popular with Otaku which producers think will translate into higher sales, the sole apparent goal of creative staff seemingly being how far they can push the erotic content envelope, there's just no escaping it and were it not for this thread and some recent murmuring as the awful summer season winds down you'd think people were almost celebrating it as a triumph. I'm petrified to see what Winter and beyond is going to look like if this Fall is to just be passable. I guess time will tell whether this year was just a blip or marked the true beginning of anime becoming strictly commercialized fap bait for otaku and ass holes. Things were about as bad at the start of the decade and it pulled back briefly but now here we are again. This Fall to me doesn't look to awful strictly for the virtue of their being more than a handful of shows that give me at the very least reason to want to try them, something that's been missing for most of the year. I'm so over light novel adaptations and these Visual Novel writers jacking it to themselves with these original anime though. Fall could really use decent original anime series, I mean its coming up on a year since the last decent one IMO in Shirobako |

Grey-Zone said: Red_Tuesday said: Untwist your panties, it's perfectly fine to call out - on first look alone - something for looking generic. Nobody can deny it does. Either the show has to prove it's not when it airs, or the delightful audience of the source material can feel free to defend its merit based on their priveliged insight. But that's still not going to change the generic look of the show. A good story can take place in a generic setting, acted out by generic characters, created from generic production values, backed by a generic soundtrack - and that's alright. But getting butthurt over these flaws dissuading people/ hearing complaints that are, in fact, perfectly understandable, is "a blight to any anime forum, because it annoys people who'd like to see some creativity from their favourite artistic medium, while offering absolutely NOTHING of substance or value." All I hear is "COMPLAINING IST VERBOTEN" - man, could you act ANY more entitled. @bold: That's not how most people think about it thought. Instead they say "it's just some generic piece of shit, no need to even look at it". I mean if "going by the synopsis" and first few episodes, I could also say: "Madoka Magica is just another generic piece of shit Mahou Shojou show for little girls and lolicons". The only reason Madoka was not treated like this, despite not giving too much away about it's dark side is probably because of the huge "GEN UROBUCHI" label on it. Using "generic" as a means to discredit a whole sub-genre (like "magic high school") also is quite insulting to all the authors. It's basically like telling them "if you dar to write something about magic high schools, then you are just an incompetent piece of shit author of shitty generic content". Because let's be honest: 99% of people who use the word "generic" are using it in an insulting way. People who really are ONLY disappointed about concepts being re-used/stolen from other works would call it "unoriginal" instead. Is there really any VALID reason to instead use a word that implies that a sub-genre is "like automatically generating content with a computer"? I doubt that. There really is no way for newer authors to even attempt to "break the mold" like this, because they are not even allowed to try. All I am defending is the right to call something what it is, and voice your disdain for trends you don't like. But I am not defending dismissing the entire value of a show due to one (admittedly major) drawback (such as a generic setting) But you can't really expect someone to be excited by a show that looks like one you saw last season, and the one before that, and the one before that. etc ad infinitum. When annoyances crop up, not saying something about it does an even greater disservice to the medium. It's like the "entitlement" argument in gaming, where if you complain about something that is rightfully obnoxious in a game's business model a horde of drone defendants pop out of the woodwork to crusade at you in the defense of the game. Yet THEY are the ones doing the real damage, and THEY are the ones acting entitled "I love this game therefore nobody are allowed to complain" - "I love having microtransactions shoved up my ass because I have the patience to get around it with grinding, therefore nobody are allowed to complain" So I pretty much misunderstood your original intention, my bad. Corporate apologism is just my biggest pet peeve and trigger. |

| -Subete ga F (most anticipated. Genre: murder/mystery + Based on a Mephisto Prize Award winning novel. Enough said) -Sakurako-san (second most anticipated. Genre: mystery. The only thing that worries me is the male MC from the PVs, but whatever…) -Haikyuu!! (sequel) -Narogami (sequel) Stuff I’ll check for the heck of it, hoping for the better. -One Punch -Asterisk -Rakudai -Concrete (‘cause it’s an original work. Scriptwriter and original creator does not inspire confidence though) -Comet (‘cause it’s an original work) -Young Black Jack -Owarimonogatari (I first need to start Bakemonogatari, so if I end up liking it (+the other series), I might watch it) As far the rest.... if I have the time, I might give some of them a try. Sourire said: do you take it less seriously tho? you are on the forums 24/7 crying about the state of anime. For real, the dude needs to chill out. He should take a break from all of this anime stuff and do something else because he seems really stressed and annoyed by it all the time. It makes you wonder why the hell is he doing here. Every single post of his I’ve come across is always about the same discontent BS with the industry or the people in this site that do not question it (at least constantly like he does). Frankly, most of his posts are a pain to read at this point; I mean, they basically say the same thing, over and over. Just like a broken record. |

| So, drama aside, you're saying that if I'm willing to give magical school harem anime a chance, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry is a good choice? To be honest, it does look incredibly generic. I wouldn't have even remotely considered it under normal circumstances, but if the LN readers think it's a better example of the genre, I might bite. |

Taimadou Gakuen just isnt your regular harem anime xD everyone has a backstory, and the girls can actually get shit done without seeking the help of the mc. im not gonna say anymore, but the LN is a very high 9/10 for me. |

Dude, you have like 20+ masterpiece level shows, why are you interested in bottom of the barrel? I think "interested" would be overstating it, but you do have a point. It's true that I don't tend to like shows of this sort. I just figure that giving genres I don't like a chance every once in awhile doesn't hurt. I don't know if I'll bother, but I can always drop it if I don't like it. |
| There's so many good shows coming out.... but we don't know unless it'll totally be showing the trailers might be good but...I have to find it out if it deserves |
| Can anyone tell me if I can watch Owarimonogatari as a stand alone show? Or is it a continuation? |
Digital_Fuzion said: Can anyone tell me if I can watch Owarimonogatari as a stand alone show? Or is it a continuation? It's a continuation. You should start with Bakemonogatari and continue from there. (Btw, there's a lot before you catch up) |
Everyone says that their Harem is special and not like the others ... and at the end of the day they are pretty much like the others. ._. I wouldn't blame them. The vocal crowd has been trashing way too hard on those so-called "mediocre generic stories". Who cares if it's rife of cliches? Original concepts can be bad too (see Charlotte). |

| Summer was a meh season with only 2 or 3 shows that i can say i actually enjoyed (and only 1 of them wich i thought was actually a Very good anime while the others were just good enough to entertain me) and this fall i only have 6 anime that i have my eye on and two of them are ecchi harems so im expecting bad things from them.Anyway these are the shows: One punch man Concrete revolution Comet lucifer Heavy object Taimadou Gakuen Gakusen Toshi Asterisk |

One Punch Man If AMA (Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shoken Shoutai) ends at volume 5 with no sequel.... the anime will only get like a 7/10 from me unless the adaption is near perfect. The LN story only really picks up (and dam does it get good) past volume 5 and before then, it is pretty much somewhat standard school life harem/action. If they adapt anything more than that with only 12-13 episodes, it will ruin the adaption (too much rushing). My only hope is a 24 episode season that goes past volume 5 or a two cour. |

| With Arslan and Gangsta ending, it seems my morning monday and thursday will be less lively. Nah, whatever. High Expectations One Punch Man : For the reasons i've stated several times over on this site that i don't need to re-state. Sakurako-san no Ashimoto blahblah : After the quite awful (though unintentionally funny) Ranpo Kitan, this show had best be VERY GOOD, or else i'll lose my faith on mystery anime. Noragami Aragoto : Everything from the first season always stood out for me. The animations, soundtrack, and pacing were superb. I especially like its pretty subtle portrayals of japanese myths. And with such a good humor and drama, this show has become a must watch. Osomatsu-san : It's one of my childhood memories, alongside Doraemon, Kobo-chan, and Gegege no Kitaro. A laid back slice of life with great moral messages and strong characters relationships, this series always has special place in my heart. But i'll really rage if nobody's subbing this. Young Black Jack : Osamu Tezuka. Nuff said. Medium Expectations Utawarerumono : Just because i've watched the first season and found it to be a decent, if somewhat silly fantasy series. Subete ga F ni Naru : LN adaptation that don't make me roll my eyes from the first sight? Good, sign me up! Shingeki highschool : Bleh, just give me the second season already! I don't want this filler crap!....... Still gonna give this a try though. Haikyuu 2 : I always need a good dose of sport anime on each season. And this show fills that gap very well. Concrete Revolutions : Cause it's from Bones and they almost never disappoint. Comet Lucifer : The premise has a "So smart it must be very stupid" vibe on it. With some Plastic Memories tone to add. Which means it'll probably be a disaster, though an amusing one. K:Return of Kings : Because it looks shiny, cool, glorious, cool, GAR, and cool again. I'm coming here purely for coolness. Plot and characters be damned. Low expectations Every single freaking LN adaptations : Though to be fair, Heavy Object seems quite harmless. Owari no Seraph : It's the worst show from last spring with awful pacing and shallow characters. Will only watch this when there's nothing to do. Star-Mu : Only if it doesn't take itself seriously and just be silly and over the top. Like what Utapri did. Garo : Guren no Tsuki : The first season was forgettable and i initially wanted to avoid this, but eh, since i've seen the Live action version already, might as well give this a try. |

| Holy f**k, this season looks bleak. This is the first time ever I have not 1 show to look forward during a season. It's gonna be a looong fall. There are few interesting shows (like owarimonogatari), but nothing to be excited or wondering about. This Summer season was good, lot of interesting stuff, but fall.... Jebus help us. I mean movies seem more promising than TV series. I'm looking forward to some movies, but no ongoing shows :/ Am I the only one who feels this way? Yeah, probably. |

| There are a number of shows I will watch. Nothing screams a must watch besides a few sequels I am looking forward too. Of original series Comet Lucifer looks like it could be something special. |
| what i am gonna watch for sure : 1-one punch man 2-heavy object 3-owari no serapth 4-norgami 2 maybe : 1-Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry 2-Comet Lucifer 3-Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou 4-Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru 5-Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai The rest didn't catch my attention |
