Kaguya Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 3 minutes ago, Jibril said: It's still better than 90% of new anime this season..... I mean the first 10 minutes of the first episode is some masterpiece worthy intro. Again, I don't pick up most anime, so I wouldn't know. Really the type that only watches one at a time. Still, those first 10 minutes are what really bothered me. Lightning hitting just at the right time to illuminate a psycho smile, blood splattering on a picture and crossing out the face of a character that just died... That type of thing makes for cool shots, but completely breaks any immersion I might have when I'm looking for realism, which I am, with a mafia story. Again, it could be a really good show. I didn't see anything wrong with it. It's just that I'm personally very bothered by that type of thing. Enough for me to drop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved mafia type anime and 91 Days does it quite good for me. 1 minute ago, Kurisu-Chan said: This season is rather good, stop saying it's shitty, of course Re;Zero monopolize everything, but we had some real good and quite different anime. Not saying it's shitty but this season is just average at best. Re Zero isn't counted since it started at Spring. IMO I think this season most new or non-sequel noteworthy shows are only 91 Days and Mob Psycho 100. The rest are either average or a bit above average such as Tales of Zestiria, New Game, Kono Bijuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisu-Chan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I disagree. Orange is a damn great shoujo who actually attracted me, even if i hate shoujo. 91 Days is artsy as fuck Arslan senki did step up it's game. And of course, Re;Zero.

Kurisu-Chan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 But, Re;Zero is not stellar and not free of critics, White Fox totally fucked up the world building, at the point we just have hints, and nothing really solid, but it's for the sake of the story, so meh. Also, even if the author seems to be anti-otaku, he doesn't even seem to lack using otaku things, and don't even tell me it's for social deconstruct... at what moment a trap char that has no plot use is relevant to any social deconstruct? But hey, nobody, and nothing is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should also put Amaama to Inazuma in that list too. I just haven't continue it since episode 3 but the first 3 episodes are pretty good. Re Zero is Spring season!!!

Kurisu-Chan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You can add Alderamin in the sky, quite surprised because the MAL reviews are globally really high. But it's sad, the best part of this show, and from what i heard, it has some serious stuff, don't happen in the anime. Also, i like that anime because the protag is into mothers, and that's great, a non-virgin protag for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ittaku Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Tried most shows this season, and of shows I've made it this far watching (including double season shows)... Alderamin's decent (it would be better without the spirits, they're pointless in the plot) Amanchu's ok. Ange Vierge is silly but ok for a fanservice show. Days is good Food wars 2 is very good First love monster is kind of okay. The outcast is forgettable even with Saori Hayami as a VA in it (one of my favourites, but at least she's also in Amaama) Masou Gakuen is lulz bad but fun for the fanservice Momokuri is good and sweet New game is good Orange is very good Qualidea Code is borderline ReZero as very good but not excellent Rewrite is okay Saiki K is good. Sweetness and Lightning is very good Zestiria is okay Konobi is good Taboo tattoo is forgettable Time Travel Shoujo is okay Twin Star Exorcists is very good So nothing is scoring more than an 8 in there for me. Other shows just didn't click with me or were so bad I couldn't watch the first ep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibril Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I'm not saying 91Days is the best anime this season.... but it is the best anime this season.

ittaku Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Well after floundering for half a dozen episodes Qualidea Code actually pulled out quite a good and interesting one. Spoiler No doubt Canaria is still alive and probably comes back as an apparent evil embodiment. Looks like the whole world is fake, a'la Matrix style.

Yukiru Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Seems I'm minority for thinking of Amanchu! As anime of the season, that's too bad. Also, kinda dropped Re:zero, what's the point if Subaru pulls himself together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanchu's pretty cute and a very easy watch but it never really hits any highs IMO. In a similar vein, Amaama is equally cute but has some real highs by comparison. Both are "healing" style anime.

The mindblown in the last episode is so real. If it weren't for the terribad animation and lackluster first few episodes this anime would've been a hidden gem.

Canaria singing in the earlier episodes was great, even if the lyrics were Engrish. It may well be the reason I kept watching when everything else about those earlier episodes was so meh.

Jun Inoue Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well how sad, Arslan ended exactly as I thought it would. Really great season overall, but it's such a turnoff that we end yet again with an obvious cliffhanger that may never see a continuation.

Supposedly, they cut it short at 8 episodes cuz they had arrived to the point where there's no more material to adapt... but no idea. Fingers crossed we see a S3 for Arslan next year or smth.
