Re: Zero is over.  One less good anime to watch...

 

One less? What else do you watch atm?

 

Just tried Grimgar of fantasy and ash. Not my cup of tea. No clue what to watch now.

 

Well, it's not for everyone.  The pacing of Grimgar can put a lot of people off.  Not me, though.  I've also been watching a few other series' this season, but they may not be for you either.

• Kuromukoro - Mecha series
• Sousei no Onmyouji - Shounen anime about an exorcist couple fighting monsters
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - Shounen series that has fighters with superpowers.
• 91 Days - Mobsters sellling booze in the Prohibition era.

And Alderamin, of course.  That's all I've been watching, so far.

 

 

Well pacing isn't really an issue for me but it becomes one when there is only 1 season and nothing more is planned.

The characters are far to weak and unlikable (except the priest and rouge) for my taste. Sure they will grow and probably become really strong and cool characters later on but when it's just 12 episodes it will most likely just stop once it gets interesting for me.

Id consider it if it was around 50 episodes.

 

91 days look cool and ofc I am already watching Jojo

 

 

 

JoJo is deliciously corny and over the top =P

Jojo is best series. I'm enjoying it so much even if DiU is my least favourite part. I can barely wait for the Stone Ocean adaptation.

[Silvist]

Eh, I'm not much of a fan of the newer Jojo.  Bizarre Adventures was seriously my fav of them so far.

 

Currently finishing Berserk (despite how much people whine about the cg), Mob Psycho 100 (which is like One Punch man in reverse lol), D-grayman (this season has me lost, probably because of a huge gap between the previous series...need to read the manga..), Super DBZ (seriously bout time we got some darker stuff in dbz), Taboo Tattoo (had alot of potential from like EP 5, but kinda went in all random directions), if you want straight up quality crack anime watch Tales of Zestiria the X, I was dyin for the next season of Seven Deadly Sins...but its meh so far.

 

If you want something of Studio Gibli quality check out "THE ANCIENT MAGUS' BRIDE", its seriously insane (but I think its only 4 OVA's).  If you want manga, I've been actually reading quite a bit of korean manga.  Tower of God, the Gamer, and Magician (KIM Sarae).  If you want to read an insane cyberpunk like manga, that's not very well known check out Dorohedoro.  It really reminds me of the good ole Masamune Shirow cyperpunk days, like Ghost/Appleseed style.  I warn you though its very violent, has plenty of nudity, and the plot might make your head explode lol.

 

Like look at its awesome style:

Sadly I'm only able to find the first OVA (Those Awaiting a Star) but will give it a go, arrigatou.

 

 

[Silvist]

@Nasseliten - Yea, I'm sorry that's the title of the first OVA.  The others aren't out yet, not sure how long till the next (probably a while).  I heard its based on a manga, which is also top notch.  I'll have to check it out as well.

[MapleMinaduki]

never liked anime, but i always liked hentai.

[Nasseliten]

So I just started watching Ben-to.

 

The story is so stupid it's incredible. It's about people fighting over ben-to (rice boxes) at half price on the supermarked.

It's shounen so they are fighting over food all the time. But it's great haha

 

If you want some mindless fun it's worth checking out.

Starship Operators.

Okay, Thunderbolt Fantasy went out with a bang! Sho literally stomps the living daylight out of this Demon God. Then, there's the announcement of a sequel in the works... Yeah!

[GingerTroll]

Berserk, Monster, Speed Grapher, Hajime no Ippo, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, InuYasha, Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Blood+, Cowboy Bebop, Mushishi, Golgo 13, Bleach, Welcome to the NHK, and Gantz are my favorites. Mostly a fan of Seinen series if that wasn't obvious.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

Caught up to the last airing of Dragon Ball Super. It's basically all about piling shit on Future Trunks to make him depressed and just showcase how useless he is.

 

Also reading the Touhou manga Wild and Horned Hermit;

 

 

 

Gonna get Reimu'd

 

Bust a move.

 

Puttin' that 2p miko in her place.

 

 

 

It's... weird...

Sho is IMBA, nerf pleaseeee..

Nobody saw that coming. We would usually presume that he did something bad or too extravagant to get away from his own country, not what we were shown. He made the "ultimate sword" looks like a toothpick after what he did. Damn, I would have loved to see Betsu's face if he knew about this. Oh, wait... they're dolls and they don't show much emotionally...

 

Well, Sho did mention that some people are on his trails back home. Maybe those are the idiots that would appear next.

It seems the only recurring character is Sho, Rin and Kei Gai.

too bad for dan fei... need another sweetener for the next season..

 

btw, it's too many badasses in thunderbolt fantasy.

[Jexsam]

Shang had exhibited insight into both demons and, most notably, legendary swords before. He questioned whether or not the sword was the real deal, that there were numerous fakes and posers out there. Granted, that was such a small thing that nobody at the time would have taken it to mean much. I noticed and asked myself if he might know more than he let on at the time, but I quickly dismissed it as Shang simply being objective.

 

With how nonchalant he was about curbstomping a demon god, one wonders if he hasn't had to do something similar before. Obviously more than one sword was designed to seal demons away somehow, it's not unreasonable to think others served the same purpose.

I really miss the types of anime being put out in 2011-2012. 

[Lady Horus]

Well I'm pretty behind the times these days. My boyfriend and I just watched the second FullMetal Alchemist anime (Brotherhood) a few months ago. Couldn't put it down! It was so good! Though I admit, the finale was a bit disappointing and could see it miles away. I kinda liked some of the story that had been written differently in the first anime compared to the second (even if the second is closer to the manga). But anyway, great animes just the same.

 

Haven't watched much else since then.

[Pornisnice]

If you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop yet, especially the movie, drop everything and go watch that.

[Guest]

so this season is complete trash.

Except drifters obviously.

 

Anything else is either: cute/moe, Gay/girl service (like 4 of them), and your generic "tries to be edgy but sucks anyway" shows.

Well. I guess its time to go back and catch up with something I missed then.

[arpaschad]

Drifters...Nambaka...MSG:Iron Blooded Orphans season 2...Trickster...something to tide me over before One Punch Man 2...Drifters looks to show more promise and what Berserk 2k16 should be and not the CG-assrape it turned out to be...

[Silvist]

@Arpaschad - Yea, Drifters is really bad ass.  Though, at the point in the manga I'm at it gets a little odd in terms of the constant humor.  I keep seeing people talk about how out of place the humor is, but its in the manga.  I'm still waiting for Oba Nobunaga to start with his crazy breast fetish lol.

 

In terms of One punch man...that's seriously one of my top 10 anime now.  The manga is killing me, due to how slow its being released.  In fact we just got spoiled last release with like 20+ pages, instead of the usual 10 panels @_@.  I'm dying to see the next part animated, I'm expecting it to be better than the first season (due to how the story ramps up).

 

Berserk 2016 started off with some really odd animation.  Throughout the show you could see notable improvements.  Its still crap compared to the manga, and the original that I'm a huge fan of.  

 

Before the show even launched I was confused why that animation studio picked it up.  If you check the animes they tend to do, they mainly do like slice of life high school stories @_@  So not only is the animation out of place, the main thing that studio does has nothing to do with a dark fantasy series.  So, go figure why they picked it up.  At least they did the story justice.

 

The preview at the end of the current season showed some teaser of more promising animation (teasing the armor of the berserker).  But, I'm with everyone else on the fact that the CG looked really bad.  I'd have been happier even if they cell shaded it lol.  

 

@Wight Zombi - You talking about the Overlord anime with the Lich guy?  That series felt like it went under the radar.  I found it by accident and at first was like "Oh noes...not another SAO/.Hack rip off".  But, they actually pulled it off.  I really hope they do a season 2 >.<

 

@l1ttled1ck - There's actually alot of good scifi anime's out there that don't include mech.  Heck, some of the most renown ones are.  Like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and etc.  The only recent one that comes to mind for me was World Trigger.  The first season is amazing, despite the fact the main character is pretty weak.

 

Honestly besides Drifters, and DBS; I've yet to find any other anime that really grabs my interest.  I was really disappointed when I watched the second season of Seven Deadly Sins.  They doing filler like crazy. 

 

Normally the way I find new anime is by looking up the companies that did my favorites, and seeing if they have created anything new.  That's normally a good way to start.
