Summer 2014 Anime Season

Link me up those subbed FalGakus. pls.

I seem to have misplaced my heterosexuality.... goddamit Kyoani.



Well Free! is here and it isn't holding anything back, Kyoano pumped up the manservice to 110% already, everyone's Eternal Summer has arrived.

Police Officer Rin is good and all, but don't forget about Fireman Makoto:



I'm still very "eeheghesgsgshdgsh" on Rin since I don't like how his Heel Face Turn was handled last season (he basically got a free pass for his violent temper tantrums, and Rei got shafted for it), but if he continues on like he did in episode one I'm probably going to end up warming up to him. Not as much as I love the other four, but yeah. (Police Officer/Potential Stripper Rin in the ED helps, too.)

The swimming anime is the only one I'm watching this season since I'm not that much of an anime watcher, though I've considered checking out Beyond the Boundary (even though it's old) too . . .

The whole ending was just, well, forward.

Especially Mermale Haruka yo.

Spoiler:

I do prefer S2 Rin to S1

Beyond the Boundary, huh? Is has mixed reviews amongst viewers, though personally I thought it was enjoyable.
Here's what I'll say: don't reach a conclusion based on reviews or ratings. Give the show a chance if you plan on watching it. Perhaps looking beyond such things you will find a show worth watching, or not. You can judge if this show is truly as unpleasant as others say it to be.  It's also getting a movie in 2015 if that interests you.

Oh, I never listen to reviews, so that doesn't bother me. The only thing I will say is that the friend I watch the swimming anime with enjoyed Beyond the Boundary, which is what has me interested in it. The fact that it's getting a movie doesn't hurt, either. If I ever manage to have enough spare time to devote to a new series again (swimming anime doesn't count since I'm already invested due to the first season; I don't even know how that happened, I started out watching it as a joke and got stupidly invested) I'm more than likely going to give it a shot.

As for the swimming anime's second season ED being forward . . . hahaha, yeah, but what I loved about Merman Haru is that I'm pretty sure the second season ED was supposed to be the kid versions of them dreaming about what they could be as adults (in the shot with them sleeping as children, you can see that Makoto was drawing a fire truck, Rin was playing with a toy cop car, etc), so the fact that Haru's first career choice is to be a merman is hilarious to me. Completely fitting, but also hilarious.

Glasslip is going to annoy me.

The love dodecahedron has already taken shape, there's no going back.
Also PA Works still looks beautiful, but yeah really iffy on the characters and plot atm.

Me, while watching Tokyo Ghoul (or something) with my brother:

"You know what? If they kill off this character while everyone is thinking that he is the main character --- It would be a sign that this anime will be awesome"

A few moments later...

Me, in my mind...: (Holy! Is he really going to die?!?)

Then...

Me: Oh... I shouldn't have expected anything so grandiose.

Then... The main character was "torn apart". I was like "No way he's going to do that".

Then... He refused to do it. I was like "Well, duh!"

Then... The other "mysterious" girl charge in and FORCE him to do it.

Me: Well, that was unexpected.

Will it be a good anime, an average one or a bad anime? Only time will tell. It got my attention though!

The animation is certainly gorgeous, but "David" is really, really pissing me off.

Love the other characters, and I'm glad three of them don't seem to like "David" either.

"David" ..... you mean:

Spoiler:

jks I know you mean:



I guess MC didn’t get the memo that this is not going to be a harem series.

Anyways guess what anime just aired today!?!?!?



dat trap ass

Brace Yourselves!

The war between SAO Fanboys vs. Army of SAO haters, Elitist and Hipsters has Begun!

If there was ever any doubt as to how popular Sword Art Online is, today would be the day that silences it.  The sheer volume of people on Crunchyroll trying to access it temporarily made the server room, time to download the ep.

If he is aware he is in an anime series/ thinks he is the protagonist of a game or anime and consciously decided to go for a harem route; that would flip my opinion of him 180 degrees in an instant.

But whether that's the case...

Someone better record/rip the three dubbed episodes of JoJo since by the time I get home, cause likely I'll only be able to watch one episode of it due to time zone differences.

If SAO fans disturb that, my neverending rage will hate it forever. /kidding.

Does Miyuki Sawashiro as Sinon sound good at least?

Are none of you guys watching Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun?!?!

How the hell. It's the best manga ever, and the adaption is so good!

I am. Blazed through the manga until the latest chapter the same night, loving every chapter but best so far is the TOMODAAAA one. And yes, very good adaptation indeed.

Surprisingly, SOA S2 isn't terrible... so far. There's a lot of focus on that new girl's booty though...

Sinon booty sells.

I am. The misunderstanding is real. Also loved Oresama Teacher so this was a must watch for me.

I got a thing against booty shots since I played the last Star Ocean

Aldnoah Zero is awesome. First episode definitely blew me away with the vocal track amidst the destruction, and then second episode has Kalafina opening. And more despair accompanied by awesome vocal track. The audio director knows his shit. AotS for me fo sho.

Argevollen though, is as generic as the mediocrest mecha anime of all time.

Tomoda's going to be adapted for sure. I AM EXCITE

I'm also awaiting the Tanuki Forest

It's a crime that Oresama Teacher hasn't been adapted yet. But not as much of a crime as Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer not getting one. :'(

Aldnoa Zero looks promising enough. I'll keep an eye on it

Tokyo Ghoul was good at first. Now I am not too sure. We'll see how it turns out.

I was checking a new anime with my brother "...and this "Momo", who was born from a giant peach, grew a big pair of peach herself". *Close anime*

Also new Nozaki kun was great, Seo senpai is the best.

Just finished watching the first episode. It's almost (almost) halfway decent aside from throwing those... uh... meatbags... in your face constantly in a "breasts don't work like that!" sort of way.

Majimoji Rurumo - I might give the second episode a try but it's looking like NO.

Tokyo ESP - PLEASE let episode 2 actually start at the BEGINNING so that I know what the f*** is going on

Blade dance - Could be good, but I wish they didn't throw so much fan service into it for the sake of having fan service, or at least blended it in better. It kinda just lets go of the plot for a few moments of fan service at random and then picks the plot back up again once they fulfill some sort of momentary fan service quota or something. Then once the plot's gone on for a few more minutes it's like welp time to fulfill our quota again! Case in point - that eye catch certainly does, um, catch the eye, but uh, it just really seemed out of place and unnecessary.

I have a few more shows to watch tomorrow. I need to catch up because I'm 2 weeks behind due to my vacation.

I've been wondering. Is there anything new from the Persona 4 Anime? I saw the previous one so I've been wondering if there's anything new in it.
