To be fair, the trailer for Nozaki was completely misleading and not terribly great as well, and it is the best show this season.

Note: I have not actually watched the Amagi Brilliant Park trailer or read anything about the series, just saying that trailers often aren't the best thing to judge by.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
Parasyte - I might even watch the live action versions if they get subbed/aren't total poo poo, Mushishi Season 2 part 2, Psycho Pass S2 (even though the first was pretty drat underwhelming), the Gargantia special, and I'll give Sanzoku no Musume Ronja a chance.

...Not really? Seven Deadly Sins is a big one, and then there's (I guess) World Trigger and the usual smattering of LN-esque fantasy themed harem/High School comedy shows that usually suck.

i will agree that everything after Hyouka has been decent at best. they will probably never have another show as good as K-On or Haruhi or Nichijou, but they are still putting out decent enough stuff.

except for that beyond the boundary show that was really bad

KyoAni is a weird studio; for being so drat small its hard to follow their show selection / direction. Do they have a board or is it just stakeholder driven or what?

they were used by Kadokawa, TBS, and Pony for a long time and most of their big shows, but now they are actually producing and financing a lot of their content themselves. they ran a competition asking for people to submit light novels, scenarios, and other stuff to them and have just been turning those into anime. forums poster ultimatemegax will definitely know more than me

So fishing for their own profitable IP, more or less, rather then being paid to adapt established series. I can't fault the motive, but I can't say it's been working out very well for them either.

Before 2010, they were at the mercy of whatever Kadokawa (though Producer Ito and Planner Wada) and TBS (through Producer Nakayama) wanted to do (thus the adaptations). Beginning in that year, they opened a contest for people to contribute novel, manga, and scenario ideas to the studio to publish through their novel division and to possible adapt into an anime. Since then, their decisions are based around what Yoko Hatta (planning head of KyoAni) wants to do. Amagi Brilliant Park is a project pushed by the director, Yasuhiro Takemoto, since he's great friends with the writer, Shoji Gatou. Takemoto had to get Hatta to build a committee including both TBS/Kadokawa to fund it (due to Kadokawa's own goals), so that's why it's different.

The goal of the Chuunibyou/Tamako/Free/Kyoukai shows was to appeal to many different groups so that the failure of one wouldn't be a financial disaster pending the other performances. That's why the decisions have been so different in tone.

(Also, they do have a board consisting of Yoko Hatta, Yoshiji Kigami, Tatsuya Ishihara, Yasuhiro Takemoto, Shoko Ikeda, and Board Director Hideaki Hatta.)

This has been more profitable for them than people think. In addition to owning part of the IP, they also get the giant chunk of money from any BD due to planning the materials on them. (Generally, even if a studio owns the IP, the video distributor will take that chunk (or else the TV station funding it)). While it may not appeal to you personally, these shows have been popular enough to be successful for them. Even the least popular, Tamako, had a successful run in theatres.

I mean don't get me wrong, doing whatever you want is pretty much the dream for a creative organization, so more power to them for that, especially it it's paying the bills.

A lot of their recent output has just been subpar though, not even a matter of taste (Like Free) but stuff like Chuun 2 and Beyond the Boundry were just bad bad.

I'll give you Chu2koi Ren since it's the only work they've produced that I've ever dropped, but I found Boundary to be good outside the leads. It had some issues, but I've seen much worse from other productions. Free! ES has been a very solid production both in story/artwork so I'm inclined to say it's Jukki Hanada (series composer for both Chuunibyou and Boundary) that's more at fault than anyone else.

They seem to be pulling back on the whole only producing shows based on stuff they own themselves thing, as Amagi Brilliant Park was published by Kadokawa.

The wait for this season has been too long, considering Parasyte was announced last year.

Can't Air Soon Enough: Parasyte, G-Reco, GBF Try, Mushi-shi
Definitely Watching: Log Horizon, Chaika, Yowapeda, Merman Bathtub, April is Your Lie, Nanatsu no Taizai
Interested in: Garo, Bahamut, Magic Kaito, Cloudy Laugh, Electric District Bookstore, Inou Battle, Yuki Yuna
Obligatory shonen garbage: Terraformars

Terraformars will live or die depending on how well it's animated, that's the only real appeal I can see in a Gantz/Attack on Titan-alike.

Yeah, and I liked that one stretch of episodes in Hyouka during the culture festival but it's been 3+ years then of mediocre to lame, even though of all of the stuff they just do looks so stellar. I'm looking forward to next time I can enjoy one of their shows again.

Man, without Jojo's I just realised how not-hyped for the Fall season I am. At least Log Horizon'll be back to hopefully be decent again. At least until it hits what I can only presume is going to be an obligatory filler ending because I don't think there's enough LN content to last a full second season.

Second shot at a Kaito Kid adaptation hits my DC fan and catches my interest though. And, uh, Search For Lost Future as a "maybe." If only to see what an anime based on a manga based on a French VN would be like.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure Tenchi is just one big old pile of incest and creepy mom lust.

Still, it's a fair point that there doesn't seem to be any obvious "My 10 year old sister can't be this hot" titles this time around.
