If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Whats there to talk about ? Nothings happened yet, Its probably going to be the best show this season after Fate Zero by a margin for me, even if they manage to screw it up itll be entertaining.

Sankarea isnt any better or worse than alot of other stuff people sit through and (secretly) enjoy, then arbitrarily decide some time later that they dont like it anymore. It'll be more of the same fyi.

This reached the top of my list this season. Lots of things about this anime I really enjoy.

Character development behind the MC was fine and refreshing, but Rea? Rea's development was very well done in just 1-2 eps. You get the scope and understanding of her feelings, and dont question any of her motives and any of the decisions she makes. Examples being when she sacrifices her own happiness to make sure that those around her dont fall into "misfortune", or when she decides to drink the potion all because she has lost hope.

I also love how they make everything seem calm and cheerful with the OP and ED, but the story behind it is a pretty fcked up one. This anime is not dwelled too deep into a despair type-of-mood, but also has a healthy balance of cheerfulness as well, an important quality I look for in all animes.

Maybe Im just having a severe case of "rose-tinted glasses". But I find this anime to be extremely good so far.

Seriously, if you don't know what a phrase means, don't use it.

Its good, but not much to talk about. F/Z, Jormungand, and Zetman are probably gonna be my main 3 this season, not counting the stuff carrying over from previous seasons.

Omg I just realized ◕ ‿‿ ◕ is Kyubei's face from Madoka. WATTAFA?!?!?!?!
Madoka is soooo good. Part of what makes it effective is its departure from the physiognamic norms in anime where cute characters are nice and dark characters are not nice. In fact, everybody is not nice and nice at the same time! So much COMPLEXITY! :D

I just realized the dramatic pauses that happened periodically through the anime weren't intentional parts of the anime but just my laggy internet connection. I'm slightly less impressed now.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

They didnt fuck up the first episode thats a good sign.

Also nobody is watching Tsuritama??!? It kinda remindes me of Penguindrum in a way because of the sheer randomness lol.

That's why.
Well I know how he works, as I said way back I lurked for quite some time lol. I'm just amazed that he can pull off such an innocent desciption of what he saw, "rose-tinted glasses" or not, and then with a straight face say he was satisfied. Could just man up and say he thinks shit fits "his tastes".

Also that tier list is still scarily true.


My goal in life is to make it onto any list in this thread at all.


I'm sad because I'm in lolicon tier. -____-x

Just depends on what style you like, both songs were pretty much vintage Kajiura and Kanno.

Id go with Fate Zero because YUKI's vocals always irk me.

The Koukin Otome op just sounded like another one of those dime a dozen singles that you get from a Mami Kawada, Angela or uhh dono Itou Kanako or something. Not even close to the same league.

i really asked for other peoples favorites, not to pick mine apart -.-, either way, it still is a threeway tie for me, because in addition to the music itself, i like the visual presentation, the lyrics and the tone set for each of the series very much in all these cases.

Well those two are my favourite composers, and the only ones I follow. is it not possible that those were my favourite ops too? Ill admit I rarely pay attention to the presentation of the op. But everything else is mediocre to garbag, unless youd rather I lie and say my favourite is something like this..

Suddenly I'm surprised how many promising shows have started.

Watched the first ep of Apollon and was cringing the whole time expecting it to turn into Boys Love or something else nasty. But it turned out to be about music, which is awesome.
I really liked Tsuritama too, the art style and music pretty much guaranteed my interest, but it might actually be really funny too.
Polar Bear Cafe has its moments aswell.
Hope Kimi to Boku goes on forever and ever.

Still undecided on Medaka Box and Sankarea: need to see where they are going, how heavy is the troll factor, etc,.
Jormungand sounds a bit more serious show, haven't got around to watch it yet.

Going to watch the zombie desu-ka too, just because it's laid back: they don't even try to make any excuses or make sense or be unique in any way whatsoever. And that's positive if you are going to make a silly & childish show with loads of fanservice.

Yoko Kanno and Kuricorder Quartet =<3<3me happy^^

I somehow have a craving for a mecha /sci-fi show though :/
