Support Squad Felicity Posted June 25, 2016 Author Support Squad Share Posted June 25, 2016 For reference: Summer 2016 Anime Fall 2016 Anime You're helpful. Honestly this is a curious summer season. For anyone not into hot anime boys (There's a lot of those) this season has a 50/50 chance of flopping imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr.F Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I still keep wondering why D. Gray-Man Hallow will have only 13 chapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I should... probably be remembering to pin the new ones of these.... well let's make up for that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted June 25, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2016 <incessant pining for dangan ronpa anime> New Game looks cute too I guess. I find it strange that Drifters says it has hobbits in it. When did those become generic fantasy races, rather than just something from Tolkein? NEW WIXOSS TOO. that's fine. bye.

Support Squad Felicity Posted June 25, 2016 Author Support Squad Share Posted June 25, 2016 Danganronpa looks idk man. On the one hand it ties up the series or at least furthers it somehow. On the other hand the anime adaptations have not been the beeeest? I'm just stoked for SHOKUGEKI 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO LET'S GO and the continuing Re zero.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 So, where can I even find what's out there? LOL. Oh nevermind missed that post. ((I thought was linking to the old version of these threads for... some reason. I'm probably jsut stupid.)) I'll probably make a post later if there's anything that looks interesting to me. Thing is, I'm not really the best at picking things to watch myself. I tend to go off recomendation of others to me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggle Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I still keep wondering why D. Gray-Man Hallow will have only 13 chapters Depends on the studio. For the most part, 13 episodes means that it's a test run to check out sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Squad Felicity Posted June 25, 2016 Author Support Squad Share Posted June 25, 2016 Depends on the studio. For the most part, 13 episodes means that it's a test run to check out sales. Tbf I'm surprised it wasn't set for 24 episodes instead. It was a fairly strong show, right? Judging by the previous run of the series. You'd think that would instil the confidence to give it a more substantial episode number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shad_ Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm hyped for the 2nd season of Nanatsu no Taizai, first one was good but the manga got a lot more interesting after it and i can't wait anymore to see it as an anime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Only paying attention to the Berserk anime despite the CGI, Shokugeki No Souma 2nd Season, and Mob Psycho 1000. Everything else seems uninteresting, but I'll give most of them a watch for like 1-2 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Only looking forward to Seven Deadly Sins tbh. though I might try Servamp out just because it seems interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega_Ra1der Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Danganronpa, Battery, and Days (TV). I just like sports anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 For reference: Summer 2016 Anime Fall 2016 Anime Are any of these summer ones actual shows? The vast majority says manga. I haven't checked the fall ones yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggle Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Are any of these summer ones actual shows? The vast majority says manga. I haven't checked the fall ones yet. It says that because those are the source material, i.e. Shokugeki started out as a manga series before getting an anime adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Amethyst Posted June 27, 2016 Administrators Share Posted June 27, 2016 Danganronpa looks idk man. On the one hand it ties up the series or at least furthers it somehow. On the other hand the anime adaptations have not been the beeeest? And in fact the original animation of DR was pretty awful. Cuz they tried to cram the full game into 13 episodes. But the creator outright said, the previous DR Anime was meant to draw in fans to the series. These new anime seasons are something to "reward" existing fans. The fact that they're being made for TV means the pacing and everything can actually be customized to suit their purpose. As such, I have faith in them.

Drymus Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Taboo Tattoo seems like it could be interesting... Aside from that, I'm only interested in the second half of Re:Zero for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Um, so Keijo is a thing. Like the universe trying to cancel out Free memes and jokes. lol. or Yuri on Ice. Not gonna lie, Yuri on Ice is well animated and seems nice (if you don't mind the homo-erotic undertones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 K E I J O E I J O You get inured to the fan service pretty quickly and it just becomes another sports anime with quirky training and special techniques. Just watched the second episode of Yuri on Ice and I'm really looking forward to the music and choreography for this competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never watching it for the fanservice :3 I love the manga, it's just hilarious. Love the attack names. Also watching Gi(a)rlish Number. Still waiting for it to turn gay.

Support Squad Felicity Posted October 25, 2016 Author Support Squad Share Posted October 25, 2016 Keijo did not enrapture me. The humour of "heh butts n ass" is lost on me when I have been up to my neck in it for two thirds of my life. The character designs are eh and I guess in terms of outrageous weirdness I've been exposed to Prison school, so this show doesn't really faze me. The only other actual show I've picked up on is March comes in like a lion. This show looks and sounds fuckin' gorgeous and as a guy living on his own right now I empathise with the main character a fair bit. Everything else is either sequels or I've watched like one episode of. Gi(a)rlish number is from the same person as SNAFU, Oreigairu btw so it's way more cynical than first appearances make it seem. Seriously, I can tell I'm going to love to hate everyone in that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code: PIRULUK Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Serious talk, for this season I'm watching: Keijo Hibike Euphonium S2 Brave Witches Shuumatsu no Izetta Gi(a)rlish Number Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku Shoushin Shoujo Matoi Flip Flappers Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans S2 Lostorage Infected WIXOSS Of these, probably the best ones IMO are Gundam, Hibike, Izetta, Gi(a)rlish. Gi(a)rlish Number so far seems to be a meta cynical take on the seiyuu industry, so that's always fun to watch. Hibike!! Euphonium in general is amazing, and I highly reccommend the first season. Izetta is great for anyone with an interest in military history: the weapons are all period-accurate, which are always a plus. Also the animation is gorgeous and the girls are cute. So far the Princess is a bit too perfect though. But at least she's powerless, so it doesn't quite cross the line into wish fulfillment. Tekketsu no Orphans is amazing and I reccommend it to everyone, even if you're not a Gundam fan. Mari Okada is amazing as always, and Tekketsu no Orphans has great characterisation and worldbuilding. As for the other shows, the ones that show promise are Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (MahoIku) and maybe Lostorage Infected WIXOSS. MahoIku is interesting, I thought it would be another dark mahou shoujo series for the post-Madoka paradigm, but it's a bit different. The concerns the characters possess are different and there are some really interesting character dynamics going on. Very excited for this one.
