My predictions for Summer 2014 will be like every other season of anime. I will watch everything, drop 50% within the first episode, the next 30% within the next three, and then the last 20% the episode before the finale.
You never get to experience the satisfaction that comes with finishing a show and knowing it's utterly terrible to the very end? You're missing out.
I'll be watching Illya and Glasslip. Akame ga Kill will probably bore me after reading the manga, but I might watch it. I'll watch Jinsei if I'm having trouble falling asleep on weekends.
I downloaded Nanoha StrikerS recently and will probably be watching that next weekend. Too hyped.

I don't want that kind of satisfaction. ;_;

@Ryuhou)aS( Sidonia has a really good story that you may like. It's mech but I think 2-3 episodes should give you a fair idea whether you'll like it or not.

The relationships between the characters were good and the story was crazy without being stupid. + Show Spoiler +I liked how when they pushed that top button on Kuroha's she remembered her childhood with Ryoka and everything, and then when she came to afterwards didnt even know who he was. I admit I teared up a bit at that part. It was a good ending I think I'll give Sidonia a shot, but I'm going into it thinking i dont really like mecha's i donno what it is about somebody in a giant mech suit pushing buttons that is so exciting to people, I just dont get it.
Mechs are just extensions of the pilots, its like asking whats so exciting about people pulling triggers or swinging swords. IMO you shouldn't even give it a shot if you are already going into one thinking you don't like it.

Well, Sidonia isn't really a mech show imo. Sure the humans fight in mech suits but they look all the same and they aren't the focus of the series at all. Its not like the Gundam series where you see all the different types of models and stuff, even when they get "new" models they look exactly the same pretty much.
|
All it takes for it to be a "mecha show" is to have mecha in existence. Thats it, lol. Everything looking the same is irrelevant. The only mecha shows where the actual mecha is the focus is like Transformers and the Yuusha series, and it should be obvious why they are the focus in them.

I think you both make some good points though I would still call Sidonia a mech anime despite not having much diversity in the mech suits used. Either way, I'm excited for a season 2 lol.
Anyone watched Suisei no Gargantia before?
|
Fine, then its a sci-fi mech harem thing.
|
For the record, any anime that has a toaster in it is also mecha anime, because toasters are considered mecha.

Yes. I thought it was bad.

There are worse things out there than Gargantia, so its not like its bottom of the barrel, but I don't think I'd recommend + Show Spoiler +"EVIL SPACE SQUIDS ARE PEOPPPPLEE"

My opinion is that the first episodes were nice (When we get to see some mech action + different cultures meeting and having communication issue).
But then, it became boring.

Soredemo sekai ending was awful. The entire show was pretty mediocre after the first few eps. There were zero interesting ideas introduced after the initial development.

Nike's back broke from carrying the entire show.

I quit the anime after watching the first episode since I knew there was a manga. The manga wasn't really that good either. >.>

Although all this said, its definitely better than Valvrave, and Bigfan liked Valvrave, so why not this?
