| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| Yuri Kuma Arashi Koufuku Graffiti Death Parade Durarara!!×2 Shou Rolling☆Girls Junketsu no Maria Yoru no Yatterman could be good. none of them give me an erection. even the ikuhara show - the pv doesn't stir excitement in meeeee |
| Will definitely be watching Death Parade Dog Days″ Durarara!!×2 Shou Koufuku Graffiti Kuroko no Basket 3rd Season Rolling☆Girls The IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls Yuri Kuma Arashi Not sure Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season Tokyo Ghoul √A |
| Maria the Virgin Witch - the description makes me chuckle Assassination Classroom - heard the manga is good. Yuri Bear Storm - the director draws me in. Kantai Collection - I want to see what the craze is about Durarara!!×2 - eh, DRRRRRRRRRRRR was good but idk if it really needed a sequel. Hopefully it'll play to its strengths and by that I mean showing Shizuo fighting Izaya. Expelled from Paradise - I actually think it's available to watch now. Tsukimonogatari - more Monogatari Rolling☆Girls - Post-apocalyptic adventures? Koufuku Graffiti: Will it give me foodgasms? We'll see. Like with any new set of shows I'll have to watch them to see what they're really like. |
| i love you nabby (haven't bothered with checking the lineup yet) |
| Probably (definitely) won't stick to all of these, but these are the ones I'm kinda interested in. Milky Holmes 4: Looks like it might bring the fun from the first 2 seasons back Yuri Kuma: Ikuhara yo Doamaiger D: super robots are rad. looks silly. also I like the style in the preview. Kancolle: it's cute. Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata: I like Maruto. I've heard the LN isn't too good, but I'll give it a shot. Koufuku Graffiti: Shaft. Erotic food. iM@S: I mean, I guess. why not. Durararararraaaaaara: s1 kinda sucked most of the time but i still think the setting and characters are intriguing. Rolling Girls: trailer looks fun as fuck. Sakuga. yatterman: idk Go Princess Precure: of course I'm watching this. |

| Aldnoah Zero 2: I quite enjoyed the first season and I'm interested in how slaine will deal with the problems left to him at the end of the first season. Ansatsu Kyoushitsu: A giant alien Octopus Monster that can travel at mach 20?!!! How could you say no Saenai Heroine no Sodate-kata: It's A-1 animation so the art/animation should be decent. Kantai Collection: Was voted most anticipated by male Otakus, gotta see why Honestly though I feel like the Winter 2015 season is a bit lacking |

| Takahiro Omori hasn't let me down yet, so I have high hopes for the future of Durarara, I'm pretty psyched that they've already greenlit three cours so I'm excited to see what they do with it going forward. I've heard generally favorable things about Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (manga) but I wasn't sure where to calibrate my expectations for the anime adaptation until I saw Seiji Kishi credited as director. For all that man's inconsistency, wacky slapstick comedy hijinks are something that he's got a pretty good track record with. I'll be watching AssClass with hopeful expectancy. (And thinking about Kishi reminds me that I still have some unwatched episodes of Seto no Hanayome left on my Netflix queue, which I'll have to get at when I'm afforded some spare time.) |
| Aldnoah Zero 2 Ass Class Death Parade Durarara!!x2 SHOU JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - Egypt Chapter Kuroko no Basket 3 Lesbian Bear Storm Tsukimonogatari Psycho-Pass Movie And maybe Junketsu no Maria and Rolling☆Girls, if they're well-received. |

| aldnoah zero 2 because it's finally slaine's time to shine! i will start all of the moeshit shows and probably not finish any of them because moeshit shows haven't been very good recently although i have some hope for koufuku graffiti and rolling☆girls i guess |
| Ansatsu Kyoushitsu Kuroko no Basket III Tokyo Ghoul II Stardust Crusaders II Tsukimonogatari Yuri Kuma Arashi Junketsu no Maria And I should finish Durarara soon, and I'll pick up the sequel once I do. EDIT: And also Death Parade. I didn't realize it was confirmed for Winter. |
 Vengeance of everyone's grudge. "I didn't add it to my list so I forgot I was watching that." - lpf |
| The 33 anime on my on-hold list. Maybe, just maybe I'll complete them all this winter break! ....jk....that's not going to happen. |
 |
| So Koufuku Grafitti is basically cute girls making orgasm faces while eating. What could possibly go wrong. |
 |
| Because they are sequels: Aldnoah.Zero 2 Dog Days'' Durarara!!x2 Shou Kamisama Hajimemashita◎ Kuroko no Basket 3 THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls (THIS IS MY JAM) Tokyo Ghoul √A Because they look interesting or the studio: Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (TV) Death Parade Junketsu no Maria Kantai Collection: Kan Colle Koufuku Graffiti Yoru no Yatterman |
| Kancolle - i hope it's similar to Girls Und Panzer. That would be glorious. Durarara! 2 - but I'm not really too excited about it, I'm a little bit worried because of what the last third of DRRR! turned into. The Balls Kuroko Plays with III is a must. Tokyo Ghoul II probably since I already articulated my thoughts on the first season. Koufuku Grafitti now because the idea of ahegao + food gets me wet. I'll probably check the manga soon enough. I'll probably end up checking everything out again and then drop them soon after. There's still a shit load of tittles from previous seasons that I need to catch up with still anyway. |
| Durarara!! x2 - Liked the first season so obligated to check this out. Been a while since S1 so I might rewatch. Also Takahiro Omori is cool. Jojo: Stardust Crusaders 2 - Jojo's good but probably not the highest thing on my watch list. Will keep tabs on though. Junketsu no Maria - Code Geass's director working on a "lewd" manga written by Moyashimon's author might be interesting; will check out a few episodes Kancolle - will just check out some episodes and the reactions on Twitter to see if it's worth picking up Koufuku Grafitti - Going to be my cute girls doing cute things show next season. Also erotic food-eating by Shaft. SaeKano - It's by Fumiaki Maruto. Obligated to check this out even though I haven't heard good things about it. iM@S: Cinderella Girls - will check out a few eps. Will most likely drop it and then pick it back up once it's over. Yurikuma Arashi - Ikuhara anime. Definitely going to follow this one. Tsukimonogatari - pretty much a given Go! Princess Precure - will watch and probably fall behind just like I did with Happiness Charge and Dokidoki |
 |
| Milky Holmes TD - hoping it'll stick to the fun-ness of the first two seasons Yuri Bear - Because Ikuhara Kuroko no Basket S3 - It's super fun and absorbing Maybe Maria the Virgin Witch and maybe Go! Princess Precure. I don't know what else is airing but I'll pick something else up if my friends seem to like it. |
| This discussion is now open. |
lpf said: Periods are also sort of overdone already in anime symbolism: the giant period monster in FLCL, Nanami's egg in Utena. Quite. |
| Kuroko no Basket 3 episode 1: The first episode was 50% recap, and 50% introducing a character who has been shoehorned into the backstory of the Generation of Miracles, in order to give Kise someone to fight in the quarterfinals. This guy is a douche, and this match could have easily been skipped, there is no doubt that the semifinals will be Seirin vs. Kaijo and Rakuzan vs. Shutoku (eventually leading to a Seirin vs. Rakuzan ending). Basically, this is obvious padding to try and prolong the series run, since its ending was already set in stone. |
| I've started each of my shows for the season, so I'll list them in order that I watched them: Yuri Kuma Arashi - So, this show is about lesbian bears and I have no idea what is even Tsukimonogatari - A breath of fresh air when so many shows are such garbage. I love when new -monogatari series entries come out. They're consistent and enjoyable. Platinum disco gogogo Ansatsu Kyoushitsu - Energetic, colorful, and interesting. Nothing too spectacular yet, but I could easily see this being AOTS if nothing manages to top it. That said, this season does have some stiff competition, so we'll see where the rest of the series goes. So far, I'm looking forward to it though. A lot of good things happened here. It did a solid job at not meeting my worst expectations. Stardust Crusaders II - I have mixed feelings so far on the first episode and the new cast member, but it's still JoJos and still a quality series that I expect to end spectacularly. Junketsu no Maria - A lot more fun and compelling than I anticipated. While the fan service is something I could do without, it was by no means excessive, and there are some plot lines established that I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome for. It doesn't seem like your typical series, and I'm glad I picked this up, because I had been really torn on whether or not I expected it to be worth my time. Tokyo Ghoul √A - The first episode of the new cour was better than the entire first series. If it can keep up this momentum, this could end up being something very much so worth watching. Very pleased so far. Kuroko no Basket III - Such basketball. Much hoops. Superpowers, wow. I want to see Kise smash this asshole's face in after he beats him. Kise is top tier husbando. Death Parade - Not quite a rehash of Death Billiards, but still quite similar. I hope the series has an overarching plot and some more compelling story lines to follow. Not that an episodic series on this premise would be bad, by any means, but it could be so much more, and I hope it follows through on that. This is shaping up to be a great season. The only show I didn't "like" wasn't even bad. Just absolutely what is happening. Since when is winter season full of quality shows? |
Vengeance of everyone's grudge. "I didn't add it to my list so I forgot I was watching that." - lpf |
| OK, now that every show I'm watching this season has passed 3 episodes (the episode at which I rate things), here's my opinion on everything I picked up this season, from worst to first. 8th: Aldnoah.Zero 2 Impressively, WORSE than the first season. 7th: Yuri Kuma Arashi I can't believe I have to say this about an Ikuhara anime, but this is not how you do symbolism. The only purpose the symbolism here serves is to disguise how otherwise stupid this show is. Almost everything in it is just an unsubtle metaphor for sex, puberty, social exclusion, and bigotry. Besides maybe episode 4, the whole show could have worked more or less the same without its Ikuhara-isms, and were that the case, it would be painfully obvious that this is a vehicle for lesbian porn. 6th: Kuroko no Basket 3 I normally like Kurokos, but this first game has been awful. It exists for the sole purpose of padding, since the conclusion was obvious before this season even began, and since there is only so much space inbetween here and there to fit more material in. Haizaki is an irredeemable douchebag, what little semblance of a character arc he had was just a rehash of Rarity Murasakibara's arc which was much better, and Haizaki's ability makes even less sense than the usual Kuroko batshittery (which is usually just up-to-eleven takes on regular basketball, which I am usually okay with). Haizaki is also crammed into the backstory of Teiko despite having never been mentioned before, ever, just to give Kise a rival. And almost every line of dialogue centers around how much of an asshole Haizaki is. 5th: Saekano Oh, look, it's another fucking harem anime. But this one is aware that it is a harem anime, a fact that it will demonstrate by telling you it just used a trope every other time it uses a trope. You know, if someone punched you in the face, and then told you they just punched you in the face, it would still hurt. 4th: Death Parade This is probably going somewhere, but for now it's quite unremarkable. The first episode was just a rehash of Death Billiards (complete with the painfully obvious twist), only with more awful yelling and over-the-top facial contortion that makes it very hard to take seriously. The second episode was a whole episode of them talking about the first episode, painfully spelling out the implications of the first episode and making any justification for the ambiguity moot. The third, on the other hand, was much nicer, with the realization that they're dead leading to a heartwarming conclusion instead of the overblown mess of the first episode. The twist, whilst wholly unnecessary, was still interesting. This show could go either way at this point. 3rd: Ass Class This show is extremely offensive to me. My father was killed by a rubber knife. Anyway, I've been reading the manga since it started, and I'm quite pleased with the adaptation. The directing in the first episode was especially impressive. The mixture of slapstick and black comedy is always a winner for me, although the second episode wasn't anything impressive. Karma's introduction was pretty great, though. Let's just hope this doesn't get cancelled. 2nd: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - Egypt Chapter I know goddamned well this is going to be the best anime of the season by the time it's over, but most of the best fights are stacked towards the end. However, even the weakest fights in Egypt Chapter are still pretty good. Surprisingly, I actually like the OVA's take on Geb more (it was one of three battles that the OVA did justice to, alongside D'arby the Gambler and... well, Justice). Oingo & Boingo were comedy gold, though, and I appreciate the amount of care David Productions put into this to make a custom ED theme for the Oingo & Boingo episodes. I'm most impressed with Anubis, though. This was one of those battles that could have really shined with some good directing, and unlike the chariot race from Part 2 (another fight I would have said the same of), DP really came through on this one. The atmosphere and choreography were excellent. Also: Easter egg game too strong 1st: Durarara!!x2 Shou Oddly, the first four episodes have only really served as an introductory phase for the new characters. However, the new characters have been really fun (in particular the Orihara sisters), and the various story threads that have come together have been more reminiscent of Baccano than the first season of Durarara. The setup for the next arc has me looking forward to the rest of the series, though, with Also, lots of Russians. So hopefully we'll get some backstory on just who the hell Simon is. |
| So, I'm 6/7/8 episodes in of pretty much everything... The Good (1) Death Parade The Decent (4) Dog Days'', Durarara!!x2 Shou, Kuroko no Basket, Tokyo Ghoul Root A The Bad (0) Nothing! All dropped. Dropped (16) Absolute Duo, Aldnoah.Zero, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, Isuca, Juuou Mujin no Fafnir, Junketsu no Maria, Kantai Collection: KanColle, Military!, Koufuku Graffiti, Rolling Girls, Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata, Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Shinmai Maou no Testament, The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Yuri Kuma Arashi, Yoru no Yatterman |

| The problem I've had with Death Parade these past episodes is that in nature they're very bland in atmosphere - too much surface-level interactions that apparently don't have meanings to characterization nor development (unless it's all a grand build-up of some sort, which I doubt) - and consequently fail to establish any really special, solid world-building. It also has the filler feel to it, frankly, and I dunno. Pls go back to being episodic or smt |
