i watched a bunch of pvs tonight and flagged a bunch of stuff with potential and i'll probably watch the first ep or two of a bunch of stuff as usual but here's the stuff i'm really curious about: dungeon meshi: duh metallic rouge: bones doing a mech original a sign of affection: really like the idea of a shoujo romance revolving around a hearing impaired college student bucchigiri: the protag seems lame but the scenes of fights they showed look sick sasaki and peeps: if an isekai is going to work for me, it'll be a setup like this one. snack basue: this looks like, a comedy revolving around a bar and its strange patrons? the vibes were cool. the way of pon: an original about a girl opening a mahjong parlor sounds up my alley i think a sign of affection, snack basue, and sasaki and peeps are adaptations, if anyone's familiar with them lmk what you think of those. also continuing apothecary diaries, frieren, and slf. let's anime, friends.

winter shows are airing let's go Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki 2: i really liked the first season after checking it out a few days ago - kind of turns the dorky anime slice-of-life romance on its head by using a glowup on the nerdy protag to explore the nature of social dynamics, self-improvement, and if there's an inherent tension between earnestly being yourself and being presentable. they used some contrived gaming metaphor to get there but it's a cool show. first ep of season 2 was more of that and it's one of the things i'm most excited about this season. Ishura: i tried this because the pv had a dragon wielding a shotgun and i thought that was funny, i made it eight minutes. the first bits set up a relationship between two girls until one of them gets graphically ripped limb from limb by a rogue robot. all the rogue attacking robots get sliced in half by a sassy samurai guy in a track jacket. it looks bad and is trying to be dark without having the writing chops to back it up.

Lord Koth posted:Gushing Over Magical Girls is airing on AT-X, which should be a giant blaring siren as to what kind of show it is, even if you missed someone earlier in the thread pointing it out already. actually that makes me curious - what kind of networks air seasonal anime, do specific networks typically get certain types of shows, etc. know very little about how japanese tv works, about all i know about anime is most of it airs late at night.

Tales of Woe posted:theres english subs out there now from the SEA release. thank you singapore i too discovered these yeah it seems okay but idk if i'm going to stick it out. soundtrack was off-puttingly bad also other stuff i watched today sasaki and peeps: bizarrely involved reverse isekai that has a middle-aged salaryman adopt a bird that's an isekaied sage from another world, then basically speedruns all the isekai poo poo so he can join the branch of the japanese government that handles psychics. undead adventurer whatever: it's standard fuckin middling fantasy guildhall quest levels stuff but the guy's a skeleton now or whatever. the demon prince of momochi house: a girl inherits a house haunted by yokai. the yokai all seem like shoujo romance archetypes to me. these all seem fine but idk if i'll stick with any of them.

watched the first ep of a sign of affection - yuki is a hearing-impaired college student who meets itsuomi, a charming polyglot world traveler i loving loved this. incredibly charming, knows when to be funny and make goofy faces and when to lean into the romance, the concept was cool without being overly cloying, the style was great. this is at the top of the things i'm most excited to keep watching this season now.

Endorph posted:ive read a fair bit of the manga, its sweet. i like that the main girl is allowed to do standard shoujo heroine things like being goofily jealous instead of just being sweet deaf girl yeah when i watched the pv i was worried that they'd do the latter but the first ep did a pretty good job of humanizing yuki and i'm happy to hear the manga keeps it up. really excited to see more of it.

first ep of mr villain's day off was a low-key slice of life comedy about the days off of a tokusatsu villain. got a couple of chuckles from the bits, seems fine but nothing amazing

Endorph posted:i feel like every season some isekai airs that the same 3 goons are like 'yooo this ones Different' and then people watch it and go 'this is a generic isekai' and then it repeats i pretty much wait for people who aren't on team isekai to say if an isekai is good the thing that gets me is the generic fantasy stuff i usually try and it's still equally bad

the first bit i took as rouge knew sarah had a habit of bringing in strays (they mention this off-hand earlier in the episode) and set it up so it looked like she was homeless and would tempt sarah to bring her in second bit the red mecha has killed people before (they mention two other people who have died already) which kind of colors what's happening a bit honestly though i get where you're coming from, because the entire thing feels like they made a concerted choice to drop midway into a story that's already happening and it's not entirely clear why they did this yet - i think there's some unreliable narrator stuff going on with rouge.

symbolic posted:yeah i feel like the anime lives or dies depending on how its plotline unravels. definitely sticking with it towards the end since it looks fantastic and the action scenes whipped rear end, but that's the dividing line between it making my top 5 AOTY or not i was talking with a friend about it earlier and i literally said "this is either going to be my aoty or they gently caress up the plot later somehow, which will at least be entertaining"

KOGAHAZAN!! posted:So The Witch and The Beast is... fun? It's alright. One of these anime that leaves me feeling like, if someone took these bones, tightened it up, polished the animation, this could be great. But as it is I think it's fine. Might stick with it, see where it goes. yeah i watched about ten minutes of it now and it's not really grabbing me. cool concept but not vibing with it. feel similarly about delusional monthly magazine - it's got kind of a fun vibe but the humor wasn't really landing for me and the setup is kind of all over the place. by the time the lazy guy turned into an anthropomorphic tiger i was out, but it's not terrible or anything.

snack basue is a weird show about people hanging at a bar. was really digging the first half, had a good mix of that sort of fleeting sentimentality of bar conversation and some good comedy. i think i'd have liked it a lot if not for the second half revolving around the world's most insufferable incel guy - the comedy revolving around the hostesses barely being able to disguise their disgust for him is pretty funny but it was still obnoxious having to focus on someone that offputting for like ten minutes. still thinking i'll give it another ep cause the first half of the ep was really different and fun and see how it lands.

a sign of affection continues to majorly own for much the same reasons as last week. the scene where oushi and yuki talk in sign language is such a burner - it's a really cool piece of animation and they effectively use the way oushi talks in sign to convey a lot about his character if you're into shoujo romance and you're not on this one yet you're missing out, it's absolutely fantastic and easily my favorite show of the season so far

wasn't into the first episode of bucchigiri hated the protag, his motivations, and the vibe of the story/humor. if the end of the episode is any indication the style during the fights is going to be loving sick but i don't think i want to put up with the rest of it to get there.

Silver2195 posted:Anyone else watching High Card? I started watching it more as a substitute for Bungou Stray Dogs than because of its actual merit, but by now I'm actually pretty interested in it. I like that Chris is actually facing consequences for the X-Hand thing. I'm a little curious if there's going to be a third season; even taking into account the cards involved in the manga (and the LNs that will probably never get translated), there's still a lot of cards unrevealed. i gave up on high card because i thought it was way more fun when it was just goofy heist hijinks like the cruise ship episode and when they tried adding in dramatic stakes it ended up not working for me at all

still really like tomozaki the newest arc with tama having to figure out how to deal with erika bullying her is really interesting because tama's approach is similar to how i've handled conflict in the past and i've definitely had to learn how to be less blunt and learn to read the room and play office/classroom politics like she's having to now. tomozaki's writing always has a deep interest in social dynamics and is usually thought provoking. i really dig that angle for a slice of life.

Fangz posted:Is anyone who hasn't read the manga still watching Sengoku Youko? I'm enjoying it, but as someone who liked the manga, I feel as if I'm in the position of an anxious parent hoping a kid does well, and thus is unable to be objective. i am! it's a fun shounen with a good sense of humor and characters that are the right mix of goofy and cool - sometimes that just hits the spot. if it ends up going somewhere i think the start is good enough to suck people in. also mal says it's getting 37 episodes - not sure what that means in terms of the manga
