Fall 2014 Anime Season Thread

[Viserdes]

also expect 20min long monologues about how a random bug or fish is the strongest creature ever then watch the character get murdered in the next scene. Terra Formars is silly

Summary of first two episodes:
Cross Ange Adds Fanservice and Anal Rape to the Gundam Formula
http://irisinabottle.kinja.com/cross...=1411537491933

Thus, we get to the biggest problem with this series: The fanservice. Yes, we knew it would be there. However, it is so pushed in your face that it is hard to focus without laughing. The stereotypical otaku, people used to this kind of thing, mind you, were LAUGHING in the seats next to me. It was just that out of place. Even in a tender scene between Ange and her mother, we are taken out of it when we see that Ange's nightgown (she's out on the balcony, just as a note) is see-through, and her panties are in clear sight. One of the most shocking uses of fanservice is of course, the anal rape scene.

You heard me right. I did not make a typo.

When Ange is taken away from her family, she is stripped by Jill, and told that she has entered living hell. From there, she is strapped to a table by Mana, and as she resists the grasp of her captors, she shakes her pink panty butt in a focus shot only on her rear end. Really? This is supposed to be a very fearful scene, but instead, we are supposed to be aroused? Apparently so. But no one was (everyone around me was laughing and face-palming). From there, Ange is anal-raped off screen with metal torture tools. For what reason? Branding? We don't know. They never give an explanation. The next time we see Ange, she is naked on the floor, blood coming from her anus and tears streaming down her face. There is no explanation for this torture. The most shocking thing is that there is no reaction from Ange in the next episode. In the second episode, Ange has completely pushed off this event, being in the same classroom talking humorously with her captors. After this mentally breaking experience, Ange just returns to who she was? This isn't the point where Ange changes forever? She's still prideful and plucky. There is something extremely wrong with this.

Rape is not arousal. Rape should not be used as a fanservice tool. Although the action can be used to horrify and create character development in some stories, this is not where it should have been used. There was no "payoff." It was just for shock and arousal.

Seriously Sunrise?

[Gryffes]

If it made SJWs mad then it's probably worth a watch.

Describing a rape scene as fanservice is laughable.

[Deadgye]

An irregular existence that cannot use Mana, and are treated as heretics and as "things" rather than people.

Sounds like the perfect target for rape to me. I now have an interest to watch this to see what's actually up, lol.

[Tyrath]

Describing a rape scene as fanservice is laughable.

This. What the hell.

[arus2001]

something something feminism something patriarchy something...

THANKS OBAMA-SAN!

[Vaspinne]

How are we not on Page 2 of this thread already? My phone can't load this page, my laptop can do it barely, and now my PC is starting to lag a little.

[Cantih]

Well, you have #30, so maybe this'll do the trick.

Definite:
Psycho-Pass S2
Log Horizon S2
Fate/stay night
Inou-Battle wa Nichijoukei no Naka de
Ronia the Robber's Daughter

Maybe:
Terra Formars
Madan no ou to Vanadis
Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis (ok, added after seeing trailer)
Akatsuki no Yona
Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru
Hitsugi no Chaika S2 (I still need to watch S1)
Selector Spread Wixoss (As Hitsugi)

Test ep required:
World Trigger
Cross Ange
Nanatsu no Taizai
Absolute Duo
Trinity Seven

Goddamn I'm way behind though, I haven't even started watching spring shows.
I actually still need to do the winter final post >.>
And do late as fuck spring and summer first impressions -.-

Writing is not my bag, lol

[Gulkeeva]

Do what I do, watch while playing a game, works out great! Its almost like watching a picture in picture video >.>

[Ker]

Let see:
Selector Spread WIXOSS
Mushishi
Fate/stay night – Unlimited Blade Works
Parasyte
Log Horizon S2
Psycho-Pass S2
Gundam Build Fighters Try(As long as they keep the action and characters as fun as first series).
yowapeda S2


Rest will be base on 3 episodes impressions(Please let "Gundam Reconguista in G" as good as Build Fighters). What I think will be a hit? beside Fate, Parasyte and the countless sequels:

Amagi Brilliant Park:
Kyoto knows how to market Otaku materials.


Nanatsu no Taizai:


Grisaia no Kajitsu:
I checked the Manga adaptation(NSFW) from a popular Adult Visual Novel. It was awful as the girl was a horny idiot, and I really didn't care for all the sex, death and gore.

Spoiler: show

At least the PV shows has nice animation.


Shingeki no Bahamut:
I think it will be a failure but it has a solid staff and some of character designs are really hilarious:

[Gulkeeva]

Think I'm going to have to upgrade to a 6TB drive, not enough room these days for everything! (especially to keep hold of uncensored BD/DVD's >.>)

[Tarage]

Gundam Build Fighters Try: Because Build Fighters was amazing and I am looking forward to "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ONEE-SAN?"
Gundam G Reco: Because Tomino, Eureka Seven character designs, protag who looks like he isn't an emo-kid, and glorious Onee-san pirate leader. I for one welcome the age of Gundam Onee-sans.
Cross Ange: Because Sunrise mech show with dragons. It's either going to be amazing or a trainwreck. Let's hope it's both.
Tenchi: Because Ryoko is mai waifu.
Trinity Seven: "Because I'm a Ninja, and Ninja are cool!". This series is amazing. Period. Main character gives no fucks.
Chaika: Because Chaika.
Log Horizon: Because fuck yeah Log Horizon! I am a bit worried about Studio DEEN fucking things up though...
'I can't understand what my husband is saying': This one came out of left field. I didn't even know it existed till /a/ had a thread about it. A story about an OL married to a NEET with adorable art? I'm fucking sold. Bonnouji was an amazing manga with the same premise, and from what I've read, it's awesome. Like Spotted Flower. Gonna watch the fuck out of it.

Why is Fall 2014 the best anime season this year? Why am I going to be forced to watch at LEAST 8 shows? Ain't nobody got time for this!

[Deadgye]

Think I'm going to have to upgrade to a 6TB drive, not enough room these days for everything! (especially to keep hold of uncensored BD/DVD's >.>)

The time may be approaching where we go full circle once again and start burning off stuff onto BDs for storage. 20$ per terabyte of storage honestly doesn't sound that bad right now.

[Gulkeeva]

Here's to hoping Nanatsu no Taizai animates to where the manga is atm, although the ecchi is lacking, the action is crazy thats for sure /mustseeanimated

[Dantrag]

I'm just worried it's going to catch up TOO fast. I'd actually like to see a 2-3 episode OVA of Double Arts. That was one of my top favorite mangas I've read.

[Nullibicity]

I'm hoping Nanatsu follows the manga and doesn't do an original story. Also cant wait to see Ban, it will be amazing.

[Deadgye]

Gundam Reconguista in G looks so retro. This feels like a movie from the 90s or something, idk. (These are good things I think?)

edit: I've decided I love it.
