Fall 2013 Anime Season Thread

Tokyo Ravens Ep 1

That was a pretty generic sort of first episode. There is no chemistry between the characters, mostly due to the poor performance of the VAs, the direction is low-energy and disjointed, As generic as it might be, there are far worse ways to waste time, that's for sure. I like how sincere the show is, though. It simply doesn't give a fuck with it's sexual overtones.

Unbreakable Machine-Doll Ep 1

Pretty interesting so far, good first episode. Definitely going to keep watching this one for now.

[Deadgye]

Watched Unbreakable Machine-Doll because of that video. I originally thought it was going to be something completely the opposite of what it actually is.

Surprise of the season for me. I'm going to be looking forward to this every week.

[Cantih]

Kyosougiga and Yozakura Quartet are still unlicensed.
Is this fucking Dennou Coil and Toshokan Sensou all over again.

[Tymon]

Kyousogiga 01

I'm watching SO MANY SHOWS this season. Fuck.

This is right up there with Kill la Kill and Kyoukai no Kanata in direction. I'm kind of taken back at how different it is from the ONAs. Really good.

[Elcura]

I hope it's different. Since apart from the animation and style I hated the OVA (ONA?) Looking forward to seeing what they've changed regardless though.

[Tymon]

Original Net Animation. Kyousogiga was never released as a physical DVD, thus it is not an OVA.

I can't tell if that was hot and then got creepy, or if it was creepy and then got hot. Perhaps hot and then hotter. Maybe creepy and then creepier.

No seriously, wtf did I just watch.

[Gulkeeva]

Between the music and what i watched, many wtfs were had ლ(ಠ.ಠლ)

Welcome to Kerb land.

Kyoukai no Kanata Episode 2: beautiful fighting. the mother is crazy. let there be ecchi of the mother.


Samurai Flamenco: I'm on the border. sort of like a toned-down version of Kick-Ass. Really depends where this show goes, if I'll enjoy it.

Yuushibu ep2: I continue to like the series. I'm sticking through until the end with this one.

[Deadgye]

Log Horizon is now my favorite new show this season. The potential for story and plot is everything that SAO gave up on. I'm going to be killing myself waiting a week in between each episode for the next two dozen weeks.

Galilei Donna also has the cutest loli engineer mechanic I've ever seen. I am watching this show only because of her.

[Skai]

God Log Horizon has so many things that SAO sorely lacked. MMORPG anime needs to have party play and Log Horizon gives us just that. I enjoyed the heck out of SAO but LH is what I wanted from SAO.

This so Much. I enjoyed SAO, but Log Horizon has what SAO lacked, at least from what I've seen. hope it continues down this path for an awesome show.

As for other shows, there are some which I'm debating on still, but I tend to give series 3-4 episodes before I drop them to see if they start to go somewhere. Galilei Donna actually got me on the first episode, I'm looking forward to see where this series goes as well. What Deadgye said is true, that loli engineer mechanic is awesome.

I won't go into every show but I will give a mention to Ore no Nōnai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Come o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru (My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy). I don't know what to say. it may not some amazing show based on the first episode, but me personally, I couldn't stop laughing that first episode. Think I'm going to watch this for the laughs alone.

[Silenka]

Caught Nagi no Asukara and Unbreakable Machine Doll today, adding them to my list of keepers.

Although I don't know if my boyfriend feels the same about Nagi. Near the end of the episode he said "This is Twilight with fish".

[Seha]

Bah, I watched the first two episodes of Log Horizon but I find most people's comments exagerated...nothing really happened so far, I'm not saying it won't be good, but I think it's pretty silly to say it has what SAO didn't..it's very early to compare the two at all imo.

[Elcura]

I thought the goldfish mecha thing was dumb in Galilei Donna, they didn't really get to or explain it well at all. Just hints of some shit going on. I was enjoy the family dynamic much more until the goldfish showed up. Meh. I also thought a goldfish was a stupid thing to make a mech out of but then I realised if I were a kid that could make something like that it probably would end up as something stupid. Will keep an eye on it because some of the characters are pretty awesome.

[Seha]

So, other first impressions...

Enjoyed Outbreak Company and Kyoukai no kanata.

Sekai de ichiban etc was really bad <_<

Yuushibu..it's weird, it's not unpleasant but..let's say it's pretty uneventful so far.

Next to check Strike the blood and..um, dunno yet..

[Deadgye]

Just watched Monogatari: Series Second episodes 12 and 13 (commie). Holy fuck. What did I just watch. Such drastic, that change, and that trailer, that "coming soon", that everything. Holy fuck.
