I didn't even get to that episode. I was just not convinced that something was happening. :/

Shin Sekai Yori has some pacing issues and the production value is subpar (OST is great though) but keep watching you won't regret it.

Episode 8 is the Shit Sekai Yaoi episode, some people dropped it at that point , but it happens for a reason and it's part of the society presented in the anime.

After the second time skip (Episode 17) until the final episode it's all sweet pay off and what makes this show good.

A lot of people really liked it, so I guess your opposite reaction is just a surprise to a few.

It's not about him disliking it, but the way he voiced his opinion. What the fuck is stoner anime even supposed to mean? And if it's actually one of the worst anime he has seen I'm really curious to know how many anime he has seen.
I know this guy who doesn't like UK, he said something along the lines of "it's not really my kind of thing, but I can see why other people like it". This is something I can get behind, going around calling it the worst shit ever and not seeing any qualities at all on the other hand...

Not sure how you would come to that conclusion. It was quite slow, but there was a lot of foreshadowing and weird stuff going on.
Dropping something that is obviously shit is one thing, dropping something because it has a slow start though? There are so many good shows that start out slow. I'd even say it's a good sign if a show takes time for world building, developing the characters etc. or even just slowly building up the plot to let it explode later on. Then again I guess I just really don't mind slow pacing and such.

As for SSY in general, third part was the best, second part was quite good except for some weak episodes and pacing issues. End was really good (even more so when you're used to non-ends from manga/ln adaptions that never get s2 anyway or anime original end).

I mean it wasn't just that, so I should've clarified, since I've loved shows that are much slower. I wasn't liking any of the characters. Wasn't digging the plot (the foreshadowing/weird things you were talking about didn't really make me any more excited to watch) that was going on at the time, and it just wasn't interesting. *shrug* Maybe one day I'll get back into it by SSY just didn't grab me.

Figures, the last day of my break and I wanted to dive into the new season to see what I want to pick up and the internet slows to a crawl and its impossible to watch anything without it buffering every 20 seconds.

Oh ok. Yeah, characters were an issue for me as well, but I liked the atmosphere.

Looks ok, though I haven't picked up that much yet. I'm trying to contain myself since I'm already following like 14 ongoing shows from past seasons.

I mean, I'll admit I liked the atmosphere too, but a lot of the revelations/foreshadowing kind of fell flat for me because the character reactions to it felt sort of fake, if that makes sense (though I probably haven't gotten to the best part yet obv). Again, I think it's one of those shows I've been meaning to go back and finish, but just don't have time for right now. ;;

Witch Craft Works looks like it has some good elements and potential but I get the feeling its going to get silly/stupid quickly from what they showed in ep 1.

A lot of shows this season I'm kind of holding off on because I read a bit of the manga when they were announced to become anime. I think I read a bit of Noragami and Witch Craft Works. Wasn't really that excited about both, so I'll do a bit more research before deciding if I should pick them up.

edit: Yo, let's set up a night where we can watch Colorful. Apparently only Elem has watched it and he gave it a 10/10!

Noragami had a very strong first ep, dunno about WCW.

Colorful's good.

I like D-Frag (I read the manga too). I find myself chuckling at their manzai style jokes quite a lot.

D-Frag is nothing like manzai.

Also it sucks, where is Hozuki-san to save comedy for this season.

I can't find D-Frag on crunchyroll or hulu atm. Those are my goto sites for anime so I hope they show up on one of them soon ><

People liking SYD I can at least say that they have a weird sense of humor.

People liking D-Frag makes me want to pay for them to visit a doctor.

It's on FUNimation. Or you could just torrent it.

Whatever.
I also like SYD btw. And KMB. Any other comedies you hate?
