This is a relative stinker of a season and mostly it's old shows that are worth watching. Considering how much anime I watch, this is the fewest shows I've been watching in about half a dozen years which is bad. Here's what's left after just one week: Arte (TV) - kind of interesting, harmless, nothing exciting but a nice filler Ascendance of a Bookworm (TV 2) - Sequel, enjoyed the first season and happy for more. Quality seems to be maintained so far. A Certain Scientific Railgun T (TV 3) - Sequel of a sequel of a sequel. Nothing wrong here (unlike Index 3). Fruits Basket 2nd Season (TV) - Sequel of a remake. Very much looking forward to what was never completed first time around of this heartwarming story. Gleipnir (TV) - Mildly interesting and melodramatic in the extreme and drags shit out. Not sure I'll last out the entire seasonn Listeners (TV) - Interesting plot and very cute heroine but cheap looking 3D animation My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (TV) - Amusing alternative take on Isekai Princess Connect! Re:Dive (TV) - Yeah not sure why but it survived me watching the first episode, but will probably be dropped Sing "Yesterday" for Me (TV) - Interesting drama romance with mature adults, if a little depressing it is still interesting. Tower of God (TV) - Battle royale for the season. Probably drop it. Tsugumomo2 (TV 2) - Ecchi hijinks sequel with almost no meaningful plot to speak of. Shokugeki(TV 5) - Another sequel of low budget pans, wipes, and zooms and very little animation, but can we just get on with the Erina x Souma romance already? Kinda bored of the foodgasms now. Still waiting on: Re: Zero S2. Despite its flaws, Re: Zero is an entertaining watch and I'm interested to see (what happens to Rem.) Oregairu S3 - most anticipated anime of the last few years for me. Delaying it is killing me, but it's given me time to rewatch S1 and S2. All in all, no real new stand out gems at all. If I was to recommend anything new this season, it would be Sing Yesterday and My Next Life as a Villainess. Cue up those sequels if you've been watching them though.

I agree with @Clephas. Shino's route is equally as good as the other other main school routes, and the reviewer has conspicuously left out details about Yuuna's route. To me, her is route is also excellent and stands out for being completely different quality to that of the rest of the branch school heroines, and even completely different tone to that of the rest of the game, with quite a dark story by comparison, but still has that uplifting resolution required of a nakige. Lumping it in with the other branch school heroines is ignoring another exceptional heroine route that is on the same quality as the main school ones. The branch school needs to be translated just for her route alone.

Thanks a lot! It's a big one, and thus the first and last one I'll make a very big deal about online

Kanon 2006 is excellent. You're in for a treat.

Sony?

#2 is not exactly my favourite game nor sequel, and... I wouldn't translate it. Probably having a route of sorts for the best subheroine from the first is its best feature.

In that case, I think you mean overrated, not underrated...

It took me years to figure out why I found romance in movies and anime unfulfilling no matter how well fleshed out the courtship, confession, and couple evolution was until I encountered H scenes in VNs. It's the ultimate consummation of a real human relationship and pretending it doesn't exist when it is literally the reason we exist as a species and a story ending without you seeing it will be low level depressing and frustrating. Once I've gotten to love a heroine, I only feel satisfied if I get to H her in the story, and then I can put that story and heroine to bed (heh) and feel fully satisfied. Most western audiences wouldn't understand though, even though most of us will end up fucking someone in our lives, but that's more a function of the long-standing censorship and shame our culture has associated with sex.

It's the same translation. NN bought it from sekai who bought it from the fan translation.

That's correct, though astro has distanced himself from the project and his components (and one other translator's) have been retranslated, so it's just based on my translation.

That's actually what I really think, but I like to portray the worst possible so that no one else can say it about me.

I found it waxed and waned. Initially appealing, then the appeal died, then it came back. Quite sure it's the dirty old man phenomenon.

As the oldest person here, I can say a resounding "no," but that could be me turning into a dirty old man instead...

We do, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't welcome another, as the new TLer is currently busy and it will be a while before they get to the project.

Come and try out the haruuru project. Happy to give you a translation test.

Yes it's unusual isn't it? Unlike most comedies there is a weak plot/storyline throughout Saiki K and the manga author was dead set on finishing it. After the main seasons, there were a couple of OVAs and just now they released a 6 episode short season to complete the story. I was sad to see this hilarious comedy end, but I do feel like the author said their piece and completed the story in a way that said adding anything more would be forcing it.

To Heart 2 (duh)

Okay it looks like I missed a few, and some just happened to finish recently, or I only recently watched them to move them to my list. The good news is there are quite a few to add to the list. Here's what I came up with. A place further than the universe. Angelic Layer Assassination Classroom (The) Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Hanasaku Iroha Hi Score Girl New Game! Nodame Cantabile O Maidens in Your Savage Season Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai Re:CREATORS Sakura quest Ushio & Tora Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid WWW.WAGNARIA!!

Not much of late, lemme go back over the last year and I'll add if there was anything. Here's hoping this decade will finally see the end of the unresolved harems.

With two tsunderes and one kuudere, it's hard to see how you missed To Heart 2 (unless you just didn't like it.)

What a shame. The script is so short it would have taken a competent translator only a few hours to have translate checked it. Sounds like a cheap cash cow for Fakku.

That makes sense. I've modified my post to remove the link to it then as well. Still how much are they charging for this on steam? It should be a $1 release.

Was my introduction to dating sims and then VNs. I played this about when it came out in '98. Still have very fond memories of it, and the heroines in it, but seriously why rerelease it? It should be in the public domain instead. If you haven't played it before, grab a walkthrough and play it through to see how it was done well back then. The thing is, the game is freely available online I believe ~legally already at the asenheim project.

You must be new around here...
