Tonight my friend and I checked out the first eps of Altair, Vatican, and Ballroom. Altair seems about what I'd expect from what I remember of the manga, which I recall liking more a few chapters in, so I'll be watching more. Vatican show was weird, but could be good. They overuse the choral music, it should have been reserved for more intense moments instead of always. Ballroom has serious potential to kick rear end, I love it so far. We also finished last season's sukasuka, which was good, but the last half ep or so was rushed and a bit confusing. Still, I liked it quite a bit, and it was visually really cool when it wanted to be (I'm looking at you, rear end arm monster).

I have some first episode impressions. Hina Logi: This feels like it's going to be a generic magical girl show, which I don't mind. Hell, I like generic magical girl shows. Princess Principal: I went into this with some pretty high hopes and expectations, and I have to say they were pretty well met. If it keeps up this pace, this is a shoe-in for my favorite anime this season. Fate/Apocrypha: First episode had about as much exposition and you'd expect for this series, and it did a good job of making me look forward to future episodes. I really appreciated the way Mordred delivered the 'master' line. Made in Abyss: This is probably going to end up being my 2nd favorite series this season after Princess Principal. Centaur's Worries: Not that I have a problem with SoL, and I remember it being done well in the manga, but I hope future episodes spend more time on the setting's society (like the teacher's speech about halfway through). Castlevania: I watched all of this and I feel like this is what the Berserk anime should have been. Nobunaga no Shinbobi is still running, and it's still good. Yes_Cantaloupe posted:We also finished last season's sukasuka, which was good, but the last half ep or so was rushed and a bit confusing. Still, I liked it quite a bit, and it was visually really cool when it wanted to be (I'm looking at you, rear end arm monster). I really liked the Sukasuka's setting and it did a good job of making me care about the characters, but I felt its attention to its characters was lopsided. The kids in particular ended up getting pushed into the background after it made it seem like they would get more time spent on them.

The Vatican Pretty Boys show gave me motion sickness, because it absolutely refused to stop either panning or zooming in every single scene for 24 minutes.

One thing that annoyed me a surprising amount with Princess Principal was the mismatch between the content and the colour palette. Like, this is a high enough concept show that it might as well be writing storyboards of samurai mecha fighting psychic clones of Barack Obama and dropping them from the peak of Everest. It's this goofy as gently caress twisty yarn about anti-gravity schoolgirls in Gothic Lolita ninja outfits fighting the Cold War in steampunk London by suplexing cars and chopping up the not-Stasi with katanas, and yet they went for this subdued, realistic palette with lots of earth tones that just sucks so much of the ridiculous spectacle out of it all. At least Code Geass and Valvrave understood that an eye-hurtingly garish story should have eye-hurtingly garish visuals. I kind of felt the same way about the Metal Gear Solid franchise, actually, especially the sillier bits like Revengeance. This should be fun, and often is fun, but you're not making it look like fun. Kakegurui understands this, bringing in vivid, demonic primary colours whenever poo poo gets crazy, and for this and many other reasons it remains the coolest trash show of the season (with Symphogear likely mounting strong competition, admittedly).

The anime only adapted the first 3 (of 5) novels of the first series. The kids are the main characters of the sequel series.

What the eye-color changes in Kakegurui brought to mind immediately was the Death Note anime.

Nothing really catching my eye this season aside from Made in Abyss, which is Good & Cute. It's really starting to be distressing how many "otaku/vanilla MC stuck in a fantasy world" shows there are.

I watched Saiyuki Reload, it seems okay. The art and lore looks great, a mixture of western designs and technology alongside buddhist imagery. And the character writing was quite empathetic, the villagers actually made sense on some level instead of being meaningless civilians that deserve to be slaughtered for their moral transgressions or saved without agency. Except... who the gently caress are the MCs fighting? The "demons" are clearly intelligent sapient beings that wear clothes and can be reasoned with, why the gently caress have they all transformed into brigands and are raiding every single village? And when the MCs fight, they loving merk them, and the camera revels in the blood spraying everywhere. What the hell is the nature of the conflict in the show, and why everyone is out to get them?

If you like Sports Anime (and Shaft-y necks) watch Welcome to the Ballroom (motherfucker). If you like sports anime about pretty boys with normal necks (and almost all of the popular VA's from the 90's- early 00's), watch Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun. If you want to watch cute girls make scary faces, watch Kakegurui. Or just finish with your backlog. Whatever floats your boat.

Davincie posted:it looked very 00s with the backgrounds i loved this. it was really unexpected and cool to me how just the main girls are in Kuroboshi Kouhaku's cute style and everything else has that earthy look like they're in a show from a decade ago. the first ep's story threw me off guard a few times and its self-contained nature is a great way to highlight the main chars via contrast. also the Japanese girl is my favorite for sure and she has all of the best outfits, the highlight being her school uniform with the Kimono-coat hybrid. Princess Principal will be good, is my prediction
