The princess is cute. Although reading /a/ threads calling her a "deconstruction" makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

OP MC. And most episode is about people orgasming while watching him and wondering what he is doing

I dunno about everyone else but I'm watching it to see how much more OP Tatsuya gets. We already knew that from the first episode so not really surprising. One of the animes I look forward to each week lol.

It is mildly entertaining, despite the MC epitomizing a Gary Stu I find the explanations and the conflict is nice though.

The main problem isn't really having an OP MC, but more that he had basically no rival and there was no meaningful conflict for the first 12 or so episodes. I can understand dropping it for that reason.



This season looks a bit lackluster. Nozaki is good so far, and Rail Wars reminds me a bit of Baka to Test (although its not as funny). Just about to try Akame and Tokyo Ghoul although I'm not expecting much.

I beg to differ, it's very entertaining for me XD Yes, the explanations and conflict is nice to watch and you're always looking forward to seeing what Tatsuya does next and where the limits if any are.

hmm I dunno, I think he does have a rival. + Show Spoiler [latest episode spoilers] +
That Crimson prince and Cardinal George could be seen as rivals though he was able to outwit them (if you can call it that) in the fight they just had. His ability to restore himself helped him recover though so I guess that goes back to being OP lol. Cardinal George was the cloak that they used.


ya, I felt the same way with Rail Wars and Baka to Test too. I think it's just the way the characters look and act which feels very familiar even though the stories are very different.

If winning decisively while not using some of his more bullshit abilities due to military secrets doesn't show the level of differences I don't know what does.

Well, in the first scene he literally nuked a fleet... so nothing he does can really top that.

He won using that because he was specifically forbidden to use basically anything else.

Its not like tatsuya using decomposition in the tournament would be even allowed since it is an A-rank spell and close combat is forbidden so really, he doesn't have a lot of options.

So:

Still Watching
Aldnoah - I feel like it's trying way too hard to be edgy. I also don't care for the characterization of the martians thus far.
Argevollen - The characters aren't half bad aside from the main two. I like the general design of the fodder mechs too.
Barakamon - Based iyashikei
Sailor Moon - Usagi a shit though.
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei - Kuro gonna carry til the shota appears. And that's fine by me.
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - Not bad for a comedy.
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha - It could be worse.
SAO 2 - I put up with Mahouka for a whole cour just to see how the trainwreck would unfold. I wonder how long I'll last for this one.
Yama no Susume - 10 minute eps is pushing it, but the show's still ok.
Zankyou no Terror - Mediocre so far

Dropped
Gundam-san - Awful jokes.
DRAMAtical Murder - Didn't expect much out of an otome show anyways.
Locodol - Egregiously bad
Hanayamata - Too much blushing for my taste.
Nobunaga Concerto - One of the worst shows of the season, which is pretty hilarious in retrospect.
Rail Wars - Ep 3 bored me. Not nearly enough trains.
Tokyo ESP - FROM THE CREATORS OF GA REI (special appearance by dead, irrelevant characters from GRZ!).
Tokyo Ghoul - Best censoring. Can't say I care much for the plot.

Done
GitS Arise 3 - Mediocre. I don't particularly care about the Major's love life, thanks.
GuP Anzio OVA - Shitty Italian tanks made the fight kinda meh. Otherwise it was ok.

I consider this season to be pretty good.

Still Watching
Aldnoah - Best anime this season for me! (so far)
Argevollen - Could be better, but that ugly mech is killing the show.
Persona 4 - I was skeptical. But the show is different from the other serie of the same name! This week's episode was hilarious too!
SAO 2 - Looks better than SAO 1
Tokyo ESP - Many people are saying Ga-rei Zero. This feels more like a poor Xmen.
Tokyo Ghoul - I think manga is superior.

From last season :
Mahouka : Why?
Captain Earth : Annoying, but yea.

Barakamon and Rokujouma no Shinryakusha are the two bright spots this season, though I still have to check out Gekkan Shoukjo Nozaki-kun. The rest of the stuff I am watching like Tokyo Ghoul and ESP are ok, Ao Haru Ride I am pretty "whatever" about because I read the manga and this is going to be bare bones and Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance I only watched 1 episode but it could go either way from dropped to decent.

Plus Hanamonogatari is only "technically" going to be summer season. So yea this is a bad season for me.

Free, F/KL, Aldnoah, Basara and Jojo as a carryover.

Pretty decent run for me, but fall is obviously going to be the best of the year.

LOL

The way they adapted the first minute and a half from Barakamon were great.

I'm very surprised at how good the VA was at delivering Naru there. ROFL

Still watching
Aldnoah: I like mecha and I like real robots vs super robots
Zankyou: I like psychological thrillers with an interesting story and characters with good directing
ESP: I like sci fi action, but this seems a bit too comedic(maybe that is why comedy is one of its genres)
Barakamon: I try my best to watch this. boring series but I need to finish this to understand how people around me define good writing since it seems awfully subjective.
Nozaki: the better comedy slice of life. A nice feel good show which isn't so bad once in a while
Mahouka: I read the LN. Nuff said.
Akame: fantasy action. Yay
SAO: I read LN.
Ghoul: psychological, horror, and action. Count me in.
Sengoku Basara: sengoku era and action. Yay
M3: thriller action mecha.
Shirogane: more mecha
Glasslip: I hope this is drama, not sol

Okay season as usual
