Aldnoah Zero is like Code Geass? What?
Cold, calculating mc, occupying/conquering force of similar species (dunno if they can breed with terrans yet) that considers itself racially superior, generic shitty mechs vs stylized (kind of like the knights of the rounds), superior invading mechs, superior force possessing an ancient tech/power? I mean sure it's not perfect but I'd say there are lot more similarities than differences.

Its... a mecha anime. I've seen so many people trying so hard to compare it to all these other anime, where you are basically forcing pieces to fit the puzzle. I've seen people say its like Turn A, Layzner, Code Geass, Nadesico, and VOTOMs. Of those, Code Geass is probably the weakest comparison, but why do people even need to describe it as "well, its like X but"? If I wanted to, I could throw out a ton of reasons why its like Mazinger Z or Majestic Prince.

Rokujouma: + Show Spoiler +this keeps on getting better and better lol. Hopefully Sanae is the final victory though I'm not sure who'll win if there is even going to be a winner but I like most of the girls so far. Marathon next week sounds good. Wonder if Sanae will participate being a ghost and all. Also, rofl at her just clinging onto himself so that she can taste food XD

That's as generic a comparison as one can possibly get, I imagine. @__@

+ Show Spoiler +they're probably gonna show them fighting each other, then some outside source will attack one of them or the apartment in some way and they'll have to pull together to beat them, and learn that hey, these people aren't bad let's be friends and all live together. There, summed it up for ya

Don't make shit up, I've been like temp'd once, which was because a certain person who I've had on ignore on IRC for the past 2 years got butthurt over an insult to his intelligence. Maybe another time, but if there was, it was short and insignificant, and I can't remember it. edit: yeah, the only temp I see is the one. The others are StorrZerg getting drunk, getting on EvilTeletubby's account, and Temping me as a joke.
Ah, memories...

Differences among many.
- no magical geass power
- Lulu has more emotions than Inaho
- Lulu was also a royal family member of Britannia, Inaho isn't from Mars
- Britannia also had cannon fodder mechs, knights of the round weren't even mentioned til like R2, maybe end of R1
- mechs aren't on roller blades
- MC's sister isn't blind/paralyzed
- MC's sister is older, not younger
- MC's best friend isn't on the opposite side
- no special immortal C.C/V.V that gives MC special powers
- no crazy lesbian mad scientist that invents a nuke
- the princess can actually do shit w/o + Show Spoiler [CG] +
- there's no secret resistance force with limited funding in Aldnoah fighting the Martians.
If you're going to say those generic situations are similar, I can go and say Aldnoah is like Toradora... MC's are both in high school. waooo so similar! -____-

I'd say it's more similar to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya than toradora nagi. Aside from the highschool setting , kyon is similar to MC-kun both are deadpan ! and + Show Spoiler +both have mahou shoujo leading lady which is the centre of everything that is happening

Nozaki-kun EPISODE 3
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VRS0wJD.jpg?1) Great Idea! I like how you think.
alright this is show is really fun. Can't believe it gets better. It's a notch above funnier than episode 2 ! I really hope this continues
Definetely watching:
Nozaki-kun : Shits hilarious as fuck and it gets better every episode.
Aldonoah Zero : Episode 3 of the show gave me a reason to continue. And more importantly Hime-sama does not suck like other passive-boring princesses from other anime's. Not to mention she is a + Show Spoiler +MAHOU SHOUJO MARTIAN HIME
Glasslip : Just because i like this kind of boring stuff. I'd probably watch this show till it becomes annoying which won't be for long i think.
Dropped or Didn't watch :
Everything else ! Didn't like it or didn't find it in the level of i-can-work-with-it enjoyment or maybe the show just doesn't interest me.
EDIT:
Watching:
Barakamon : i forgot to list down i was watching this show lol .. show is watchable i guess not that impressive but i will continue watching.
|
I guess I'll try out Nozaki-kun if you like it so much. Don't see myself liking Aldonoah or Glasslip to be honest.
Need to watch at least something this season...
Interestingly enough I thought ep1 from Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? was a lot better than ep2 and I was a little disappointed at ep2.
And someone in here said Rail Wars is a lot like Baka to test so I checked that out hoping for a hidden gem... it's nothing like it at all...
Other than that, I should probably give Cencoroll #1 a try as #2 is comming out and people said that's actually decent if I recall correctly.

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.
What did you expect from Rokujouma? I mean, they made a truce in the first episode so they can't be fighting like they were + Show Spoiler +thus they are fighting in games
|
The fact that absolutely nothing happened in the episode bothered me. I get that it's a harem and there's not supposed to be developement but not even the character-non-developing minigames are developing anything because in the end it all got back to square 0 with everyone being where they started out
|
They are just blasting through early vols and plowing straight into the middle part of the series when things start happening.
|
That's what we hope they are doing and not just screwing everything up. At least we will get Yukarin Klan soon.
