I just find it strange that despite actively encouraging spamming, I don't even get a warning, but I do have a warning for making a backhanded joke about cliche'd threads that was somehow interpreted as "backseat modding"

Cross Ange is underrated. The most recent episode had 4 "accidental" simulations of oral sex within like 10 mins. How can anything be more anime of the season?

I even saw how Cross Ange got To-Love Ru'd lel

Anyhow GARO, is underrated.

Unfortunately i can't say WIXOSS is underrated anymore, since it's Okada still not having any idea how to do stuff or have some semblance of an overarching plot. Or it's the director that just likes the melodrama too much.

Shigatsu overdramatizes everything. Kousei's inner struggle is pretty damn relatable though.

Psycho-Pass showed its true edge just now, which as cringy as it is, it shows its honest true colors without the need for incessant quoting.

Inou Battle is fun for what it is: school club comedy with otaku/chuuni jabs, and solid SoL.

Limiting myself to the good shows this season is turning out pretty well.

Fate, take some lessons from GARO! Exposition dumping? Well, have the heroes go to a place for a short battle and use that to enhance the MC's resolve to train lel.

Do it :D. It has a solid premise that's been done 100 times before but it's seeming like it knows how to do it the best. Everything is delivered at an excellent pace and doesn't stuff around on stupid things.
The only problem is that 2fps CGI.

Garo is alright. So far we're getting Horror of the week with sparse story development. Pacing is fine, and while there's nothing particularly wrong with the show, it's not outstanding either. I'm sure it'll pick up when the main cast assembles. I have it on par with Bahamut and Chaika.

pretty much, which is dissapointing to me, its always great when you like a show and like the opening as well, it usually has you coming back to look it up post watch and generally helps you appreciate in recollection, of course not always and never to great extent but its always welcome to have a good one.

Also plenty of 2 cour shows this season, so were gonna get another wave of that next season which will hopefully have better openings, sure hoping durarara's has one even remotely as good as the first 2 and desperately hoping for a replacement of stand proud for jojo, its ok nothing bad but in comparison to the amazingness that were 2012's openings its a big let down, i can still listen to bloody storm with the same excitement as the first time i heard it

Imo it's a fairly good season for OPs. There's the usual amount of bad, decent and good ones but visually there's the Garo OP and in terms of music the Instrumental OP of Akatsuki no Yona that really appealed to me. And Mushishi Zoku Shou still has one of my favorite openings ever.

UBW probably is my favorite OP

Akatsuki no Yona has a very good instrumental OP.

Parasyte OP- a bit too "synthy" for me (kinda expected of Fear and Loathing), but I'm a sucker for mindless growling lol. Reminds me a lot of Just Awake- HXH ED.

The rest is pretty forgettable.

The autotune in the Parasyte OP literally gave me ear cancer in episode 1 and since then I've been skipping the Parasyte OP. It's rare that I'm unable to watch an Opening but that one managed it xD.
Well, the part in the Judge End OP that were autotuned did the same. Now that I think of most if not all of their anime songs do :>. It was particularly hard in Brynhildr since the first OP was one of my favorites and then they came along and I had to skip it every time. They're the exception though.

I still think Fear and Loathing is a much better movie than it is a band.
I didn't even enjoy their song in HxH despite all my bias so yeah. Their synthy, autotuned songs are just the opposite of anything I'd consider good music (or even music to begin with). I really don't hear anything but a cacophony when I hear one of their songs :/. I'd really like for them to not get so many anime OPs, especially since they seem to be the thing to cast for shows that cater to my taste and I usually enjoy watching the OP of my favorites each time but I just can't with their songs.
In conclusion they might be the one anime song band that I enjoy the least out of all of them and I'm afraid they will get more jobs to work on some of my favorites in the future because everybody seems to love them -.-

I like Kuga and he's kinda carrying the show for me at the moment. I enjoy his attitude and how he pwned that horrible girl last episode verbally. Aside from him though I don't care much about the show, though the parallell world concept is always kinda interesting (or at least has the potential to become interesting).
6/10 so far.

Ok, but don't let my HYPE blind you guys to the truth. It's a pretty superficial show which is literally just kids having a good time battling hotbloodedly as an excuse for Bandai/Sunrise to showcase gunpla and give us mountains of gundam robot/homage service.

But it's about as good as an entertainment package can get, I think, so my love is unquenchable.

Definetly try getting on CCA + unicorn one day soon, while sadly i am not one of them alot of people really love CCA and unicorn generally is pretty beloved (that i thankfully am a part of) and is probably one of the most respectful,tributes to anything i have ever seen(seriously the care and respect the writer does to the world and characters is insane), also try giving the unbelievably under rated war in the pocket a go around,

Hey, I've heard a lot of people who love the show, even people who are not as inherently in love with Gundam as you are so you're not my only source of hype for the show ^^.



@Jizzy: Yeah I definitely will get around to them before the year ends. I'm just watching way too many series and franchises at the same time and it's kinda exhausting.


On that note I've been thinking of completely stopping to keep up with seasonals starting next season. I used to enjoy the variety of watching 5 different episodes of 5 different shows each day of the week, but lately it has just been tiring me out and I feel like the good old days of focusing on only a handful of series at a time. I've been starting random marathons just to forget about the overwhelming amount of weekly shows xD.

the opening made that turn of events way too god damn obvious, it was still an exceptional episode but i am baffled why they included such a big giveaway. You know spoilers in openings are only cool when you hide them so you only notice it when said spoiler has come and past, say what you will about zankyou no terror whether you oved it or hated it, thats an example of spoilers in an opening correctly, every single major plot point event and character fate was shown throughout the opening yet you wouldnt really catch them until post watch.

Also time to bite the potential bullet and watch fate, i have no clue how this is gonna go

I can definitely sympathise with that, but each season always brings something so worth watching but you might skip over if you hadn't picked up that ridiuclous stack of airing shows. You also miss out on the discussion, and there's a certain energetic spark that comes to watching a show while it's still airing, I find.

But yeah, dropping all that to focus on some convenient marathons sounds like a pleasant sort of change.

I guess you don't watch the Log Horizon openings then?

The second season is continuing the traditions set by the first season in terms of both choice of song and level of spoilerificness.

Yep. I got spoiled on season one by other means, so the OP only reminded me of it, but S2 I've kept clear and things have gone fine for now. Missing out on the chatter between those in the know is the one downside to keeping spoiler-free though.
