New Gintama. I am complete. Thank you anime overlords. Now this is the final arc. Not the final season. There manga is still ongoing. Unless they cut out all filler like they did the previous three arcs.

Anyway, my Sundays are now perfect.

Also, the author for GGO basicly looks like M in real-life:

The Franxx ending was pretty much the best they could do with the direction they took.

Yup. Slightly disappointed. Oh well, entertaining show regardless.

holy shit why are the AX hosts always so cringe...
I watched the fgo stream live yesterday, realized how cancer of a game that is and went to bed.
Today I looked up at what time the SAO event was and while Matsuoka + Kayanon was absolutely amazing (Lenn wasn't that bad either), the hosts were just so cringy again...

At the end they showed bloopers from the english dub (I'd assume? the audio+video crashed so it started again out of nowhere with no explanation) with lines that had the english VAs (in-character) joking about doing it doggystyle once they get back, Asuna demanding a threesome from another girl etc... like... seriously?

Lack of emcee experience
Lack of actual content
Parent company not willing to shell out for a professional

Take your pick.

Incidentally, Sigsawa already has a self insert in GGO, and it ain't M.

probably a combination of all 3.
Also, and sorry to say this I guess, I feel like the crowd liking those kind of things also comes into play. You know, like some people like Slacks (Dota) and some people just can't stand him?
So for example, from my point of view as a European, seeing them announce something for the US version of FGO and suddenly everyone starts chanting USA USA made me cringe so hard as well...

The real question is why you're watching them announce new old content for a game you don't even play.

Cells at Work was weird, but pretty fun. I'm feeling optimistic.

That sounds less lewd than the LN, to be fair.

This is such a shitty season. All I see are ecchi and harem anime. Wtf is this crap? I'm sure someone will say FLCL or banana boat, but neither one interests me and I remember when I read the banana boat synopsis a while back, it was pretty odd/not interesting. At least I have overlord to look forward too. There's also that one mystery anime so guess that's 2 ;;

If all you're seeing is ecchi and harem anime then i would suggest you get some glasses and look again.

Since you sound like you have an idea of what you're watching, do share? Also, there is a little thing called exaggeration, but this season is nowhere as appealing as any of the previous seasons.

Cells at Work is funny, it's like a fucked up version of Osmosis Jones in which everything is overexplained in true manga fashion.

I noticed E3 had the same issues. Seems hiring "personalities" is what people do now instead of any kind of qualified professional for the emcee job. It makes the experience real shit.

Hanebado's animation is solid. I think this is the first rotoscoped show Ive seen that hasn't immediately gone to the uncanny valley. It's actually pretty hard for me to tell unless I'm paying very close attention to difficult sequences like walking forward while turning slightly. The constant movement works really well for badminton because of how fast and dynamic the sport is.

As for the drama, it's absurd but still entertaining for now.

This is the season of sports anime it seems. Or maybe I am just noticing it more.

I agree this season looks to be garbage. .

If your list doesn't have hanebado you're doing something wrong, super excited for episode 2
I really really hope they keep up the quality of episode 1 for the rest of the season because that episode looked really good

I'm not a fan of Badminton so I discarded it. If it turns out to be a good show I will give it a try.

watch list for summer:
Overlord s3
Island
Hanebado

trying:
those isekais i've haven't heard of
yuragi sou / grand blue (i've read these so it's not very exciting)
harukana recieve
tonegawa
random stuff

so far the subaru isekai is like basically anohana mixed with sword art online. Heck, the main group is also very similar to the anohana group where you have the leader blamed for the death of the menma copy, there's an anaru and a yukiatsu as well. Also i don't get how a company that made a game featuring free to play, the need for some sort of "sense" to be even able to play it, and account perma-death ever became internationally renown but realism wasn't ever the goal so whatever.

isekai maou seems lewd. it even shows the slave magic in the beginning and slave narou series aren't known for being good. the mc is ok but not really different from the norm. Seems more comedy focused.

harukana seems ok. i have a feeling it'll be less lewd than hanebado tho. Dunno what's gonna happen next but it's enjoyable enough to watch another ep.

haven't watched anything else

Spring was a bad season. But i'll take spring over summer any day. this season is terrible. Fall seems better though.
