Just started watching Erased, pretty good so far.

Love that show. f*** them for making the show so f***ing expensive to buy.

Love that show. **** them for making the show so ****ing expensive to buy.

It really picks up in the second half. I really like these short run series.

Not sure if any of you are in the area or plan on going to the Anime Boston convention that starts next Friday, but I wanted you guys to know I will be hosting a panel on hockey in Japan there. It's Friday at 11:00pm.

I am nowhere never Boston, but good luck there. It sounds like a really interesting topic.

Started Gangsta, it's not my type of anime, but I am enjoying it from the first 4 episodes that I've watched. Renegade has to be one of the best songs I've listened to in the past four months, so I was stoked they added it as the main OP.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I'm going to Otakon again this year. 12th year in a row. Distant Worlds is playing there this year.

Speaking of expensive I was looking at Gurren Lagann Blurays recently. Can't believe that show isn't readily available to buy. Also can't believe I still can't buy an NA region Bluray of Koe no Katachi.

Completely unrelated but I just noticed Wotakoi is getting an anime next season. I remember reading it on Pixiv a few years ago; could be really good. Looks like they got a strong voice cast for the supporting characters, at least.

Just finished Hunter x Hunter a few days ago, and holy hell was it good.

FMA: B was previously my favorite anime, but HxH has now taken it's spot.

What a ride, will have to read the manga because goddamnit i need more!

My #1 and #2 favorites so I feel ya. Really hoping for HxH anime to come back but won't hold my breath anytime soon.

I'm about to start Terror in Resonance. Anyone have any recommendations for shorter anime? I've really liked the last few I've watched around 11-13 episodes.

 

[S E P H]

I actually have a question about anime too....

- Is Assassination Classroom any good? If so, which anime does it most likely resemble?

- How good is Devil is a Part-timer?

- How good is Black Butler? Which category would you put the show under?

That one is pretty good.

Here are some short ones I've liked that have aired the last 7 years or so. All kinds of genre in here. The (2) ones just mean they have 2 seasons, but they are still in the 10-12 episode range. Can ignore if you just one single season ones.

* = really enjoyed

Gangsta *
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun *
Kobayashi Dragon Maid *
Interviews With Monster Girls *
Ore Monogatari *
Chuunibyou (2) *
New Game (2)
Blend S
91 Days
Sweetness & Lightning
Flying Witch *
KonoSuba (2 10's)
GATE (2)
Saekano (2)
Owari no Seraph (2)
Danmachi
One Punch Man *
Ao Haru Ride
D-Frag!

Here is a good site to check on previews for upcoming anime or ones that have previously aired. Also tells you the episode count.

I've only seen a few of AC but I liked it. People I know who have watched have really liked it. Not sure what to compare it to so far.

Devil is a Part-Timer is really funny. Love the idea of a 'Devil' coming up to the real world and trying to blend into society.

BB I have no history with.

Got another question for @Unholy or anybody else here...so I am addicted to Bradio - Flyers which is the Death Parade opening and it looks really intriguing. So I was wondering how good of a show it is and what type of show it would be classified as (genre)?

Death Parade is great. The tone of the intro and actual show are complete opposites{I love the intro as well). It's a drama/i guess mystery and i'd definitely recommend it.

Also, My Hero Academia is back this week!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Death Parade is fantastic. It can seriously get emotional and it's very well done. There is one episode near the middle that you can skip, can't remember which one though.

Can't wait for more MHA!

Thanks! Yeah, I was reading some comments from the Bradio video where they recreated the opening and quite a bit of people were saying that the opening is like the total opposite of the actual show.

How can you guys seriously wait to watch a 21 minute episode per week? It just makes me lose interest, especially when there was a bad episode. Rather binge watch.

 

[syz]

Black Lagoon got added to Crunchyroll so I watched a few episodes. Still holds up.

Claymore not as much.

 

[Unholy]

- Yeah Death Parade is one of the ones I never watched either lol. Almost went to it a few times maybe I will get to it.

All right new shows have started! Started a couple.

Megalo Box

Good first episode. I haven't watched any boxing ones prior but I will be watching this one and then maybe going back and watching Ippo or something.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These

A reboot of the old 100+ episode series I believe. Never watched it but love space battles and great characters. Making me wonder if I should just watch the old 80s/90s series but maybe after if I end up liking this. Not a bad start. I heard in the old series there are many many many characters. Huge space battles (in the tens of the thousands of units) and supposed to be dialogue heavy too. Enjoyed the first episode and hoping the pacing is good with a big series like this.

 

[oil Leaks]

Episode 13 of FranXX, what an amazing episode. 6/5

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I gotta watch the 2 episodes or so before that one.

 

[Unholy]

Yeah I'm a couple behind as well
Need to watch all those this week and going to start back up on Hero Academia

 

[Suxnet]

Megalo Box looks pretty awesome. Darling in the franxx just feels like a mashup of Eureka 7 and some other stuff. Very predictable and cliche.

 

[S E P H]

Second half of season three of Food Wars was released yesterday (I believe). Or it was between Saturday and Sunday or perhaps it was released Friday...no idea, but the first episode was quite good. It was a nice episode to start the build up for the next arc.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I have never watched that show. I like ecchi stuff but some reason, it never really dragged me in.

 

[Unholy]

Man I am so happy Food Wars is back. Great first episode too. Important backstory and conversations happening. I love the characters in this show.
