Summer 2014 Anime Season Thread

[Xerlic]

Ao Haru Ride 01

Typical shoujo romance, but I have a soft spot for this type of stuff. The visuals are pretty, and the art style reminds me of Chihayafuru.

[Deadgye]

now to wait 2 months before aldnoah OST is up for sale. ngggghh :/

Two months I don't want to wait.

[Gryffes]

AOTS potential: Barakamon
Kinda sucked: Glasslip

Aldnoah/Akame ga kill, need more time, still havn't checked out locodol/tokyo ghoul yet.

[Skai]

Fate Kaleid Liner PRISMA ILYA 2wei! 01
Looks like it's going to be another season of hhhhhnnnnnngggggg...

Hunter x Hunter 137
137 episodes in and it's still damn entertaining and interesting.

[Vaspinne]

P4Golden was interesting. Obviously a lot of it is going to be re-telling some story parts we've already seen but they did well with the intro episode at least. It seems like the MC has more personality this time around lol. And while I could be wrong, it seems like the responses he gave are ones that in the game you needed impossibly high personality stats to choose at the time (Like confronting the teacher. I haven't played P4 in quite some time, but I feel like that reply isn't choose-able in the game on a first playthrough)

Also, Glasslip is melodramatic as fuck. I don't know if I can stomach much more of it lol

Tokyo Ghoul Ep2

holy shit. Dat fighting animation.



P4Golden Ep1

I love this show already and Narukami's swag level was through the roof.

Spoiler: show

Yep, but I was going to watch Persona 4:G because fuck yeah, but hopefully it feels more like a NG+ which could be cool. I was on the fence about watching this but I'm in.

Also Glasslip is pretty terrible. Must be hard being so mysterious.

[Stromgarde]

Best place to stream/group subbing P4G?

[Ker]

love stage!! Ep1

I've been hearing good things about this Yaoi series that non Yaoi fans should check first episode out.

I have to say this has to be one of the best 1st episode of the season, the humour is top notch. The visual gags and fun characters really made that entertaining. I wish it wasn't a Yaoi series because it's really good and voice cast is also excellent. anyhow dropped.

Spoiler: show

^
All that Yaoi symbolism.

[Xerlic]

Glasslip's love polygon was already getting tired by episode 2 before they even added the psychic powers.

[kareface]

Terror in Tokyo is really good.

[Ker]

Tokyo ESP Ep1

This show seems like it's going to be alright. There were a lot of problems, but it's not worth going over. this was basically Japanese X-men and from what I read from the fans, the manga is suppose to be half fun, half serious, but the anime seems to have forgotten the fun part. cause this was dead serious.




I guess the connections to Ga-Rei Zero are nice.

[Gulkeeva]

Tokyo esp was interesting, but... I hope it still has the fun and ecchi part of the manga O_o

[Elcura]

Book of Circus was interesting, not sure what to make of it yet but hopefully things become more clear as it progresses. It's entertaining if not cliche'd at the start (in terms of characters and a first episode) so hopefully it gets better.

And I hope Tokyo Ghoul stops being so goddamn melodramatic. I want to like the show, and I can get why the MC is such a whiny bitch but 2 episodes is enough. I hope this isn't a heavily repeated theme.

Sword Art Online S2 EP2

Boring trash again, felt like nothing happened yet the battle lasted almost the entire episode. I just can't care for the majority of the action, when it's just an opportunity to show Sinon ass when she's sniping.



^
HAHA like old times(I guess tentacle rape is some sort of nostalgia).

[Deadgye]

Pacing may feel slow I guess, but they're covering the source material well without skipping or rushing things. I definitely wouldn't describe the episode as boring, myself.

[Qalbert]

is there a source for tokyo ghoul that isn't censored as shit

[Tymon]

Yeah, the manga.

It's an explicit content rated manga that was adapted into a daytime broadcast. Have fun with that.

I await... the bathing scene...! (or swimsuit that works too) O_o

The manga is sort of a slow start too, but it gets awesome later

Spoiler: show

The white hair guy is the MC hardcore rape mode, wonder if they can even show the scene of how he became like that without some obscene censoring though

[Qalbert]

ugh. I know very little of how schedules/channels work for anime, but knew that ATX(?) sometimes showed stuff with less censoring and was hoping there might be something comparable
