    Default Anime

    Feels like it's been a long time since we had an anime topic. Anyone been watching any anime lately? This season has quite a few standout shows as far as I'm aware.

    I'm currently catching up on Gakkou Gurashi! and it has one of the best first episodes I've ever seen. I've seen the first 6 episodes now and I'm really liking it.

    Still waiting for the conclusions of Charlotte and Working!!!. I pray for a good finish for Charlotte in particular, but I'm kinda sad the series never really "took off".

    Planning on watching Bakemonogatari in the next few days as well. Anyone have any opinions to give on that one?

    I actually haven't really gotten into the anime scene this year, which is strange because anime is basically all I've watched since middle school. But this year I've been watching horror movies and zombie films the whole time. Anyways, I'm mostly just marking this topic because I'd like to come back to it later when there are more anime suggestions here so I don't completely miss out on this year.

    The last anime I watched was the first episode of Death Parade when that aired. Been meaning to watch some more. Like finishing that and Kill la Kill. For this season, that Umaru-chan looks cute.

    Watched the first episode of FMA: Brotherhood a couple days ago. Late to the party, I know. We'll see how it goes.

    One of my friends recommended a cooking anime called Shokugeki No Souma.

    I've been watching some anime from this year alone, and there has been some really great ones that I've seen, so I'll list what I've watched.

    DanMachi: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
    Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
    Himouto! Umaru-chan
    Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist
    Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls
    GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri

    There's also more that I've watched, but these are the most notable ones that were started this year.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Ore Monogatari is my favourite anime from this year. Gakkou Gurashi has been an interesting thing, didn't think I'd end up liking it as much as I did.

    I have watched a lot and I am just up - watch this space for more 10/10 animes.

    Ah, and also what animes are you looking forward to? Coming season I'll probably just watch the continuation of K and see if anything else promptly catches my eye, but one I can hardly wait for is the Ace Attorney anime even though it's still half a year off :P

    Nice. It's nothing special IMO, but can be very well enjoyed for what it is.

    Watch it with your parents. It isn't weird at all to do this.

    I am watching many of the anime:
    - Gate
    - Working!!!
    - Himouto Umaru-Chan
    - Non Non Byori Repeat
    - Okusama ga Seitokaichou*
    - Wakaba Girl
    - Shokugeki no Soma
    - Danchigai
    - Steins;Gate (this is a few years old now, but I missed it when it came out and my friends who have played the visual novel have insisted that I watch it).

    As you can probably tell I like my moe comedies. ^_^

    *discretion advised. There's a 'censored' and 'uncensored' version put it that way

    \0/ This is one of my favourites ever. I hope it gets a second season one day.

    This space has now moved here

    Currently watching (although many of them are finishing )

    Non Non Biyori Repeat (Renge is amazing)
    Ore Monogatari!! (everything is amazing)
    Gakkou Gurashi (Taroumaru is amazing)
    Joukamachi no Dandelion (uhhhh LINE is amazing)
    Dragon Ball Super (the animation is "amazing")
    Sengoku Basara (engrish is amazing)
    Cardcaptor Sakura (Windy is amazing)

    On hold at the moment until my friend and I actually get it together

    Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love Revolutions (ST☆RISH is amazing)
    Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) 2nd Season (nothing is amazing)

    Next season, looking at the line up... there wasn't very much that tickled our fancy. Except Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?? because silly girls in a cafe. Owarimonogatari is another, but we need to catch up with what's happening in the world of Monogatari. Others we have randomly chosen include:

    Ore ga Ojou-sama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Totroute Gets-Sareta Ken
    Lance N' Masques
    Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan
    Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa troutai ga Umatteiru
    Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai

    But, I couldn't tell you what any of these are because I have already forgotten.

    You have no idea how excited I am about the upcoming Ace Attorney anime. It's the one thing missing from the entire fandom and literally everyone is excited about this.

    I never watch anime usually, but I might chase this up when it gets released!

    I haven't been watching much lately but someone recommended Puella Magi Madoka Magica to me and I quite enjoyed the first two episodes. I should watch some more

    Oh, that's a really good one. I typically tell people to binge the first three episodes and THEN decide if they want to continue watching. Make of that what you will.

    The three episode rule is solid for all animu.
