Spring Anime Season 2016 Thread

Welp I couldn't do a second episode of Haifuri or Anne Happy, not my kinda thing.

Week 3 started off pretty strong, especially Re:Zero.

[Not Kuno]

Sakamoto is fucking GLORIOUS. If every episode is like that one I can die happy. BNHA is kinda eh so far. Feels like it needs a few more episodes.

[Mrbeansman]

So Bakuon is K-On with bikes and absolutely glorious. Kiznaiver got interesting fast.

That said, I haven't dropped it yet. But that has more to do with boredom than show quality I think.

[Elcura]

Yeah, main girl (I guess) makes me want to punch her in the face so there's only so much I can take.

And I guess bikes are more interesting than whatever the fuck they talking about in K-On so...yay?

Snacks and snack accessories.

[Ksandra]

Late response, but thanks to those who offered suggestions. Gonna give a few a try this week.

Ace Attorney - almost dropped because the art really is awful and frames are literally like watching a DS game in 1080p, but the story arc is going off the rails early so I'm sticking with it. Is this arc part of the game too?

Mayoiga

Ultimate pretentiousness. Also couldn't take anything seriously after this:

Still not sure what to make of the show seems like it could be interesting though.

Also this Jack thing aint over yet

Yeah the animation in ace attorney is... Not good. The show is very faithful to the first game, so far.

Bones is killing the amination in Bungoku Stray Dogs. That fight scene in the last episode was great.

Wander Over Yonder. The Party Poopers

One of the funniest episodes of Wander Over Yonder. This episode alone is a good example of good toilet humor and all the facial expressions.



I don't understand why Disney is doing the CN schedule of one 11 minutes episode a week than usual 22 minutes but at least it means all the credit shorts will air.


The Loud House Ep1+2(first 2 episodes are free on Itunes)

I really enjoyed this and I love how the show has a good message. It’s good to see a nice, family oriented show than the usual garbage Nick is producing lately. It’s well written and the style is very inspired by Calvin and Hobbes.

I enoy all of Chris Savino anime/jp/movie references in the episodes.

I'm watching the show because I loved the games, but if you haven't played the games, don't watch the show. Just play the games. They cut out a lot of content, it doesn't flow/pace as well, and you're just getting a butchered version of a great story.

[Cream Soda]

okay, I finally caught up to my shows from last season and I'm ready to dive in.

What do I need to be watching?

Shows that I've already started/are current with

Re Zero
Hero Academia
Ace Attorney
Jojo
Terra Formars
Kabaneri

I like Kuromukuro. Sleeper hit for me for the season.

[dasva]

Bah nvm olo already said ones I was going to pick lol

[Wulfgang]

Likely not in the right season, but I am totally hooked on Ace of the Diamond. Just binged the first season through the Tokyo West finals and:

Spoiler: show

God damn it Kawakami (sp?)! Cannot believe they lost the freaking game. Tetsu was such a mack; bummed that him and the rest of the third years are gone now. The ending was just depressing; the third years just kind of faded out and left the dorm. I was hoping for some type of cathartic final speech from the crew before transitioning to the new crew. Last episode I watched, the coach tendered his resignation letter too; love "shades" and Sawamura's rapport with him. Being a pretty big sports guy, the sports animes (while ridiculous) just resonate well with me. Love Haikyuu as well.

[Tymon]

Kiznaiver has been extremely mediocre for its first three episodes to me. It's from Trigger, I want it to be good. By track record it should be great. But I'm not going to say it's great just because the studio is.

Where's the action? This was billed as an action/thriller/drama by the studio themselves. Right now it's just a bunch of Kill la Kill archetype characters talking for 30 minutes a week.

I'm expecting it to be slow at first, just like Gurren Lagann and KLK were. It should pick up more in the next episode.

Spoiler: show

And then there will be some kind of wild twist involving aliens and that council that the silver haired chick reports to

[Elcura]

There are a few shows that are better than I thought they would be after 2 episodes.

Bakuon is cute, someone said it was like K-On but bikes, but it's better than that (though I suppose that depends if you like bikes? regardless they do some stupid shit so I'm game)
Tanaka-kun is Always Listless is funnier than I thought, and charming too
Sansha Sanyou is pretty much the same as above but I hope it's like a greatest hits with Yoko's servants
