That twintail is the worst anime I've ever seen but it's so bad I can't stop watching.

So I had some free time and took to watching Gundam G no Reconguista. I gotta say, it's kinda interesting. The story is okay so far, kind of slow but I feel like a lot of Gundam shows are like that. But the art style is really what catches my eye (pun intended). It's just... like an homage to how the animation was in the early days of the series. But very it also has a very subtle touch of hidden quality. As in, the style looks old, but the animation has surprising amounts of fluidity, if that makes sense?

Anyway, I was hesitant to watch it because of the reception on here, but after sitting through it, I am enjoying it for what it is so far.

Trinity Seven is starting to make me realize how much I've come to loathe harem-Anime. It's not that the show is worse than others of its kind and I actually think the setting is interesting, but what severely detracts from that is an overdose of fanservice coupled with a male:female ratio approaching 1:10, worsened by the fact that most of the stereotypes used for the females are overused, annoying and do not make anything remotely close to normal human interaction possible as soon as the sole male character appears.


Not that all harem-Anime are bad, I only wish more of them featured characters behaving like actual human beings instead of fetish-pandering ragdolls.

Pretty much all harem anime are bad. Exceptions being things that aren't really harem anime, like Amagi BP, FMP, etc.

[Gryffes]

Look at nisekoi, humongous cancer levels of anime.

The only way harem works is if its incidental to the plot, and not the actual plot.

[Elcura]

Harem anime is basically 1/10 plot and characters and 9/10 fanservice, so you can't really expect anything decent except for maybe good fanservice. But most Harem don't even do that right so who gives a shit.

LadyBug French TV series

I've been interested in the show since the reveal back in 2012 but Still disappointed with change from 2D to 3D(Toei Animation did the 2D trailer and working on 3D shift also).

Ladybug, about a “superhero with an American look but with Japanese powers”:

Old 2D trailer(some the highlight action/transformation is done by Hironori Tanaka).

Producer LeSean Thomas (The Boondocks, The Legend of Korra) launched a Kickstarter project on Monday for an animated adaptation of his Cannon Busters comic book series. Thomas Romain (Space Dandy, co-director on Oban Star-Racers) will serve as the mechanical designer, Joe Madureira (Uncanny X-Men) will contribute to the character designs, and Bahi JD (Kids on the Slope, Space Dandy, Ping Pong) is on board as an animator. Tim Yoon (Batman: Under The Red Hood, The Legend of Korra) will serve as a consulting producer. Anime studio Satelight and retailer ANIMEBOOKS are supporting the project.

The Kickstarter seeks to raise US$120,000 for an eight to ten minute pilot episode, and stretch goals will expand the run time to 16 minutes or 24 minutes.

Gundam Try was pretty decent. I love the OP, but then again I love every OP by Back-ON.

I just started watching Le Fruit de la Grisaia (just finished episode 5). Is this series' plot outline and format just like with Photo Kano because I think that's how it's playing out.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss!!

Animation and art direction looks great so far on the teaser. Hopefully it holds up because the art of the manga is, in my opinion, God-tier. http://casanovascans.com/series/shokugeki_no_soma/

[Gulkeeva]

Looks well animated and detailed... its going to be hard not getting hungry watching that...

100% this. The manga is beautifully drawn. It would be a crime if the anime didn't match that standard.

Yes needs to be beautifully animated... "foodgasm" scenes...! (´￢`) Although probably need to wait for DVD/BD for uncensored

[Vaspinne]

Would there even be an uncensored version? I mean, the manga is more or less naughty free save for the implied stuff, but nothing is ever shown.

Because some stuff, through a quick skim through.. probably would be censored more on tv
