Yeah I'm not big into anime, just watched it occasionally. Now that Bleach is pretty much done I miss watching it. Thanks for the suggestions | ||

I also like how apparently you think this season is bad, yet its like this nearly every single season, yet THIS is the anime season thats bad. Every season always has 2-5 that are interesting for me, yet 0 this season? If you have a suggestion, please suggest, but if it involves no story, huge plot holes, and sells its soul for fan service midway through the very first episode, then don't bother. It's seemingly getting worse every season. Yeah, I do have a preference, and if watching the same romantic comedy involving some average uninteresting male with some mysterious girl who just happened to fall into his lap and the story revolving around it is nonexistent and their relationship has nothing behind it besides average guy gets stunningly hot girl and it's basically the anime version of twilight catered to males, then yeah, I guess I'm considered picky and closed minded. Whatever happened to shows like Toradora? The new season of nisemogatari in comparison to its prequel was so shallow and disappointing I don't even want to think about it. | ||

This last season? Mirai nikki (although it continued off teh previous season), nisemonogatari, another. Nisemono was horribly disappointing, another was at least a bit unique, but not great. Mirai nikki is really good imo. Rant about nisemono - + Show Spoiler + the first season concludes with the main guy saving the girl and accepting his relationship with senjougahara and realizing that's who he loves and will only love. Then the second season comes in, and EVERY fucking episode leans to some sort of sexual encounter with another one of the main girls INCLUDING his sisters. Like really? The encounters with the "villains" was horribly boring, had pretty much no climax, and the only thing lasting from that whole show was how they made a metaphor out of brushing his sister's teeth and sex. I realize that the first season had some of this stuff too, but no way in hell did it encompass the whole arcs. | ||

I realize that the first season had some of this stuff too, but no way in hell did it encompass the whole arcs. So if I get this right, last season had 2-5 (3) shows that this one doesnt. Another with its numerous plotholes and despite its uniqueness (you know like those terrible FInal Destination movies) wasnt great. Mirrai Nikki which isnt really a new anime to last season at all And Nisemono which was a horrible disappointment. (which admittedly, did have buttloads of service but nothing particularly out of the ordinary unless you were watching something else in season one.) Am I right to believe that you still consider these to be "good" anime since your opinion is so open. Certainly doesnt seem like it. That seems like pretty much a 0 season like this one to me. On the other hand maybe you should watch everything so you can say how bad it is. Not quite sure you know what you want. Your right, you shouldnt waste your time with anything this season. P.S Judging from the Nisemono rant, if the biggest attraction to the Monogatari shows to you was the overarching love story and the related (or otherwise) struggles, you missed the point of why so many people like it. So yeah you made a mistake in watching season 2. Dont watch Kizu. | ||

I got no clue what sort of shows interest you, but its laughable with what you are saying about this season. Barely anything has even aired yet, and only a few shows have even put out their first episode. How the fuck would I be able to tell if a show has "no story and huge plot holes" based off episode 1, anyway? Your post is just a typical "Oh man anime used to be so much better, why does everything suck now days!" Complaints like that get repeated each and every season, so I guess its not surprising having it happen with this season as well. Speaking of fanservice, how the hell did you even get through Bakemonogatari, much less Nise, if fanservice bothers you that much, lol? | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Nisemono was just like Bakemono--don't know how senjougaharas arc made everyone think it was some shoujo romance and not ecchi comedy satire 50% of the time. | ||

You can tell from the first god damn episode of most shows that nothing is gonna be 100% full of nothing. Fan service doesn't bother me, but if it's the ONLY thing the show is meant for so it can attract cheap views, THEN it bothers me. I didn't watch bakemono just for the romance, I was pointing out how nise pretty much devolved into a show about incestual urges while there was no story and the relationship growth was basically "I'd probably screw you if you weren't my sister but you are" for both arcs. And yeah, last season didn't have that many good ones either, so that refutes my point somehow that this season's aren't good either? Saying that last season's was bad, and that this season's was worse doesn't really change the point here at all. Or are you just trying to convince me that every season is shit and that every anime is as bad as the next? | ||

Oh, and let's not forget the part where he's literally taking a bath with someone who looks like they're 10 years old. Which part in the first series had this amount of fan service? They aren't nearly the same level. Also, if you can show me shows from this season similar to durarara, baccano, usagi drop, toradora then I'll gladly never post in this thread again. Correct, but then there are a lot of Justin Bieber and Mozart fans too. What meaning is there in the masses? But maybe it helps you feel better. Thematically at least I think Nisemonogatari is stronger, a bit more intricate and definitely more roundabout. In comparison, Bakemonogatari is a lot more straightforward. There is a lot of easy grabbings, so to say. In all its irony, this gives Nise a more honest portrayal of Koyomi. A true harem king. You know, like he also was in Bakemonogatari except exactly the same. I share your opinion in that if it's only fanservice, then I usually can't be bothered. This isn't just fanservice. | ||

Nise wasn't "JUST" fanservice. Sure there was more fanservice than in Bakemono, but there was a stronger and more obvious overarching plot/theme in Nise than there was in Bakemono. Also, if you liked Toradora, why don't you just watch every other show Kugimiya Rie stars as the main loli heroine (Shana, Nagi, lol Louise)? Taiga is pretty much a copy/paste of them anyways. Maybe not as tsun as Louise. Usagi Drop? then watch PapaKiki. Not as good, but still talks about family. For someone who's so "open" about anime, you sure don't like a lot of it. | ||
