Asobi ni Iku yo! Ep1 Ass and Titties

-Great Animation.
-Solid female voice cast involved.
-The first 3 minutes and last part were the girl pulls that ridiculous gun, was best part of whole the episode.
-Too much fanservice(Plus or Negative depending on your taste)
-Stupid harem you've seen everywhere.(childhood friend etc etc)
-Male lead is a pathetic loser, who has girls drooling over him.(Yup that's new)
-They had to point many times Elice*the cat girl* has large boobs,(I got it the first time) and they just kept zooming at them, almost non stop through the whole episode.


I wasn't impressed, It did have some really beautiful animation(when still shots wasn't used), and The plot does hint to something more than your average harem, but with large amount of fanservice, I doubt it.

Spoiler: show

Considering the first episode of HSOTD is maybe the 1st 30 minutes to 1 hour of the zombie apocalypse and people are already kicking each other down stairs and into the jaws of ravenous zombies their behavior is pretty funny.

The first 5 chapters of the manga are the 1st day of the zombie apocalypse and the 6th is the 1st night. Collapse of society would probably be far more devastating to the Japanese than to Americans. So HSOTD is very entertaining.

[Zilong]

What? They didn't leave the school by the end of the first episode... they were both on the roof. Unless you're talking about another show and not highschool of the dead.

i had the whole escape already animated on my mind, but yeah, forgot they havent even gotten to the introduction of the other chara yet...

Well with most Summer shows aired, what is everyone Anime watch/drop/Shit list? depending on your genre preferences. just about every show is watchable this season.

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin
Shiki
Basara Two(hasn't aired yet but Must watch).
Cat Shit One(hasn't aired yet but Must watch).

Seitokai Yakuindomo(Ep2 was boring like shit, no punchline to the jokes at all and it goes all over the place*Working and B Gata H Kei* did it right).

Best comment about this show from Ann

It's hard to imagine how exactly something like this gets made. I imagine an AIC executive going to the bathroom in Akihabara and spotting a note scrawled in sharpie on the wall: "For a cheapo show call 1-900-Windmill." Or a group of animators in a room full of fragrant smoke and pornographic PC games. "What should we make next?" one asks. Another gestures with his cigar at the third animator, facing a wall stacked with random bishojo games. "I dunno, ask Watanabe, he's got the dart." My favorite scenario, though, is the one in which Aria wanders into a seedy bar, gets wasted and wakes up next to a pair of porn movies and a harem comedy and goes "Oh sh**." However it came into being, this is as vapid, transparent, and terribly written a show as it'll ever be your misfortune to watch. So don't

[Scythiroth]

Well, so far for me, my watch list is:
K-on Season 2 (it is still airing this season, so I guess it counts)
High School of the Dead
Ookami-san
Shiki
Amagami SS
Strike Witches 2 (yes, I know this is pretty much just fanservice, but I watched the first season and want to see the rest >.> )

Might pick up some more if a lot of people talk about them in here.

I'm also watching Arakawa Under the Bridge from last season, no idea why I didn't watch it before, so hilarious.

[Elcura]

Highschool, Ookami and Amagami are likely full watches.

maybe Shiki, Mitsudomoe and Sekirei (if not watching now, will pick up after finished).

Definitely watching Cat Shit One when it airs. Wish there was more Kurenai tbh.

[Agito]

I've been watching Chaos Head, i can't form an opinion on it until i watch it until the end. Might be worth looking into, there's cute girls with weapons but the guy needs to go to a mental hospital as he's all fucked up in the head.

[Elcura]

Chaos Head, great concept, poor execution, average show. I don't remember much about it, lots of jargon and exposition, but had some nice parts to it.

[KuroTsuki]

Out of this season's shows:

Stuff I'll most likely end up watching till the end:
Amagami
Highschool of the Dead
Ookami-san
Shiki

Need to see more before I decide:
Seitokai
Asobi

And I still need to watch the first episode of Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin(Occult Academy.)

[Man0warr]

I'll watch Asobi ni Ikuyo! just for the voice acting, but that's the main reason I watch shows.

Itou Shizuka as Haruka in Amagami SS is the best this season It's like if Hinagiku from Hayate no Gotoku was a tease.

High school of the dead

http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/0...n-every-scene/

Thats an interesting read if I ever seen one, from a director stand point on how he wants the anime to be.

[Maguspk]

Katanagatari 7 where are you? ;_;

lol @ that link Gulk...

“Even if the world is swarming with zombies, let us not forget the breasts and thighs!” – those are our watchwords.

[Ker]

BASARA Two Ep1 You doing OK?

-Great Animation(The CG was actually good)
-All the new Voice cast involved are solid
-Everything you loved from the first one is back.

God how I miss this, it's still ridiculous as it ever was, Let me stop the sea of arrows and reflect them back by my shear awesomeness.

Veritas 77 is out!

Episode 2. Highschool of the Dead is now available via this link but the video is still converting on megaupload (edit) megavideo, there'll be mirrors and such sometime also. It's a raw episode however but if you're like me then you'll watch it twice, one time without subs then the next with subs.

[Maguspk]

HSOTD and Katanagatari downloaded by MAL Updater at the same time. I almost creamed my jeans, tonight is going to be amazing.

[samalis]

Veritas 77 is out!

Decent chapter, can't wait until they all start fighting. Waiting for translations is killing me though ughhhhh. Same thing with Nurarihyon no Mago. Even though it's in shonen jump and clearly better then Bleach so far, it still doesn't get a weekly translation which is sad.

High School Of The Dead Ep2

-The pacing was slower than previous episode.(Looks like the series will end at chapter 15)
-They changed the Ending theme(Why???).
-A lot of censoring. more so than the first episode.


The Episode was still awesome, Saeko's Smiling with pleasure, cracked me up(read the manga why) and being voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki(a combo full of nothing but Win). Kouta should be mentioned, he's a lethal killing machine, loved that evil smirk and crazy face he gives. at least they will finally escape the school in the next episode.

[aers]

Episode 2. Highschool of the Dead is now available via this link but the video is still converting on megaupload (edit) megavideo, there'll be mirrors and such sometime also. It's a raw episode however but if you're like me then you'll watch it twice, one time without subs then the next with subs.

Considering its simulcasted and the subs take an hour to come out...... that's pointless.

Katanagatari Ep7


I guess I shouldn't expect much coming from Nisio Isin terrible writing, but at least it was a lot better than the previous episodes. with a lot of battles(second battle was so good) and i did love the music used in the end.

nisio never been good for writing the battle scence. If you ever been reading his other light novel. It just very lucky for him that bakemonogatari is the first animated version of his light novel.

However, the bad part for me is they spoil too much in episode 6's ep 7 trailer. I was hope that the reader feels they got fooled by nisio with sister getting killed in the end. Just like what he always did in his novel >.>
