i mean it plays out like an animated prestige drama or something, so some normies will like it because there's nothing to offend their "moral sensibilities." but it's still pretty niche in subject and focused on Japanese culture so it doesn't feel like an easy fit with shows that more blatantly appeal to normies.

The manga is pretty cool but I might not watch the anime because it's not the kind of thing I really want to experience twice. I'll probably watch the first episode to see what it's like though.

that means its a hipster anime, not normie.

Wait, are we allowed to keep using the term hipster in 2016? Whats the latest equivalent?

Pretty decent episode of Active Raid this week. The army girl came back and her interactions with garbage man were amusing.

I've decided that the spring season thread title will be spring 2016 : the season where the normie animes air

The namtab rec will be thrown behind: Mayoiga, because I liked another

Sounds good...

But I want to be fair, so feel free to post thread title suggestions and your personal recommendations, everyone.

Before a season starts pick a single anime
The anime cannot be anything that will obviously be good/popular (no jojos etc)
If the anime is bad because of distasteful reasons: 2 days probation
If the anime is bad: 1 day probation
If the anime is bland: 6 hours probation
If the anime is good: nothing happens

My normie pick of the season is My Hero Academia. I think enough mainstream watchers were turned off from the change in direction in Stardust Crusaders that Part 4's probably gonna turn more people off, especially with how episodic it is. Meanwhile, My Hero Academia is coming on the toes of One Punch Man, and the people want superheroes.

They're both going to be great though.
