Vepariga Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just finished Season 1 of Knights Of Sidonia. Bloody awesome series, I really enjoyed it. Will start S2 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Jojo's Bizarre Adventures Stardust Crusaders just finished the day before yesterday. What a fun ride it has been with that series. I'm hoping that they adapt more of the Jojo manga series. Edited June 21, 2015 by Marzan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phobos Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I just started Steins; Gate. I hope it's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHobo Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Latest episode of Sidonia S2 was the best episode this season and possibly the series as a whole. The whole confrontation between Tsumgi and Benzi was fantastic. And blamo zombie Hoshijiro is back and she's not taking no for an answer. Poor Tsumgi is staked to the wall. All of the amazing camera angles, direction, action and soundtrack blew me away. I need a season 3 announcement soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I just started Steins; Gate. I hope it's good! Don't be discouraged by the slow start. Everything happens for a reason in SG (there's no filler) and then it will all click into place. And it will be very rewarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've been watching the Puella Magi Madoka Magica movies this week, and just finished the third installment. It was good, but I didn't really know how to respond to the ending. Half of me wanted to applaud, and the other half wanted to throw something at the television. It does succeed at being different, and making the viewer think. It is emotional (like Steins;Gate, another great anime that shares a certain plot aesthetic), but it really hammers one with a roundhouse of feelings. The open ending didn't bother me too much. It's rare to see a series respect its audience's imagination instead of spelling everything out. Anyway, for those who still have it in their queue, I can't recommend it highly enough. Keep the tissues handy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I decided to go "old school" and watch some eps of Mospeada (not the bastardized Robotech - A New Generation version). Surprisingly watchable for an 80's anime. The opening and ending themes never get old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Yup, even Southern Cross is more watchable. DEJA-VU ... YOU AND ME ... SUZAHN KURASU ROADS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 As a matter of fact, I plan on watching Southern Cross after Mospeada. The Robotech version confused the frak out of me so much that I skipped it altogether back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Watched the Attack on Titan OVAs. They were OK though no substitute for a second season. They're taking their sweet time aren't they? There is more than enough manga material now to do a 2 cour second season of Attack on Titan. They better strike while the iron is hot, you never know when the next big thing is coming around.

The whole series is a promotional material for the Light novel. The series is generic and fan-service-y but I liked it as well. The pacing was too fast though and lots of detail or back-story was omitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Focker Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 i thought i'd be sitting out most of the spring anime lineup as most of the first episodes were weak. two that had relatively strong first episodes soon had me scratching my head why i'm bothering to watch them (Triage X, Gunslinger Stratos). another two (Denpa Kyoushi, Re-Kan!) were pretty ordinary, but at least they were relaxing to watch and had some heartwarming episodes. i'm glad i persisted though with these: Kekkai Sensen - undoubtedly the coolest show this season. a steampunk-ish New York, weird creatures, and a zany cast reminiscent of Durarara and Baccano; what's not to like? Yamada-kun - i wasn't in the mood for yet another harem anime. so i initially avoided this. turns out this was quite different. romcom? yes. but harem? no. it challenges the viewer to keep up with the body switching, then on top of that how the different powers can be overlayed or transferred. the puzzle-solving element is likely what got me hooked and the ensuing shenanigans sustained my interest. Owari no Seraph - at first i thought this would have a cast of toddlers and i actually dropped it a few minutes into the first episode. i resumed some weeks later when i learned that a second season was already planned even though the first season was barely halfway. that means it should probably be good, right? gave it another chance and liking how the show is developing. Shokugeki no Souma - who knew ecchi and cooking would go so well together? i haven't watched a cooking anime since Cooking Master Boy more than two decades ago. this new take on the genre turned out to be quite refreshing and literally works up my appetite for more. Punchline - possibly the most surprising anime this year. never thought there would be something more beside the pantsu! Dungeon ni Deai - hands down my favorite of the season. very simple and straightforward story, arguably formulaic, but they somehow made it really fun. i've heard that a lot of LN material was left out, but despite that i thought the pacing was good, with steady development each episode, and (most) threads tied up. i was none the wiser of what i was missing. the last 4 episodes were great, leading up to a very satisfying finale. everyone kicked ass and got their asses kicked in turn. and while the music got a bit too Star War-sy near the end, the score building up to the penultimate moment was superb; strings, horns, and even a syncopated gong that sounds like it has seen better days. add to that a beautiful duet of incantations that melded with the music. not just the words themselves, i felt the incantations were special since rather than the usual chest-thumping, intimidating variety, they were instead prayers of humility. gave me goosebumps even after replaying the last episode a few times. i'm thinking of a marathon rewatch this weekend and certainly hoping for a second season, unlikely as that may be.

chyll2 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 @major focker I watched all of the show you listed and pretty much the same opinion except for Punchline, I didnt watch any episode at all so maybe, it is worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 +1 Punchline seems so underrated. I had fun with it this season too. It has that zany Gainax/Trigger feel for a number of episodes. I also enjoyed Plastic Memories. I think anyone who liked Chobits will probably get caught up in this story, as well. (I know I did.)

Keith Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Still watvhing Punchline. The director worked on a few Gainax shows starting with Daibuster, which explains everything. Probably my favorite of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazuki Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) just finished G GUNDAM for the first time, it was awesome. while i was on a GUNDAM kick, i rewatched my 0083 set for the second run.

Marzan Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Agree on Kekkai Sensen (battleblood Blockade) being the coolest show this season, with Fate being the biggest disappointment. Normally KyoAni shows are not my cup of tea, but boy do they make their shows look absolutely gorgeous. Hibiki Euphhonium has grown on me and the art/animation on it are movie level stuff. Gonna watch the finale later tonight. For story, Arslan probably was my favorite show so far and I'm happy we're getting a second cour.

Marzan Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 check out Gangsta. Black Lagoon meets Samurai Champloo Yeah, the first episode was pretty promising. Decent start to the summer season. Anyone know if Aquarion Logos has been licensed? I want to see what crazy, whacky ideas Kawamori is up to nowadays. The one I want to watch the most is Prison School. That manga is absolutely hilarious and ecchi as the devil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) He's not actually working on the new show, though. Thanks for the info. I finally got to see the first episode and I was pretty underwhelmed. At least as first episode go, it wasn't as fun as EVOL was. And the whole thing felt a bit..cheap. Maybe all the A team at Satelight is working on Macross BTW, anyone seen Ushio no Tora? Someone took a old manga and decided to do a 90's shounen in 2015 and it's a lot of fun.

Gubaba Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well, at AX, I was talking with one of the producers of Logos, and one of the Satelight higher-ups. They both seemed positive about Logos, for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the show gets better or worse there is a subject of debate. Yes, it's totally worth your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
