I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Another season of sequels, a few gems in the rough, and a whole lot of ignorables.

i.e. A "good" season.

I just think it's lame to tell someone to not even try to get in to something if there are enough people saying that it might be worth getting in to for anyone

The major point of this subforum is that we are not "enough people". If people want that there are plenty of echo chambers out there to wade in. While we have popularity contests and things, this is a place where different opinions can be expressed so that anyone individually can freely form their own opinion.

I think dissenting opinions should be encouraged and challenged, just as those opinions themselves try to challenge the majority. Discouraging them is what really feels lame.

I agree but my point was more of

It was the contrapositive of the typical "heh its good watch it" statement. Both are weak but have use, especially in a comedy forum. It was a satirical post (opinion me) but man some of you are taking this way too personally.

A month into Spring Season, here's my quick wrap-up of shows I've sampled without threads:

Armed Girl's Machiavellism - There was a non-zero chance that this could have been an excellent concept with great execution, but yea not today.

toothbrush.gif Season "2" - Only interesting when the viewpoints intersect with what happened in season 1. I find the main elf character terrible, but mostly because my tolerance level for generic slow-developing shounen-esque overpowered main characters is extremely low. I might just fast-forward all the parts with the main character and watch for the neat callbacks to season 1, because so far the pacing feels sluggish.

Renai Boukun/Love Tyrant - I plead the 5th, Your Honor. *gets stabbed in the face by a drive-by yandere*

Boring Girlfriend Season 2 - First season was aiight, this season improves on that to slighty better than aiight.

Sagrada Reset - The spiritual homage to Hyouka, combined with a redo of Beautiful Bones. w/e I'm in.

such moon, much beautiful, wow (i.e. LINE app commercial) - The use of CG background people has increased over the past few seasons, and it's an odd juxtaposition to see them in a character drama that relies so much on environmental mood. Also the characters are so teenage cringy af that it's actually incredible.

WorldEnd - Has potential to be great, but also has potential to become another Magical Girl Raising Project.

Zero kara mahou fo sho - For a concept as edgelord as this, they are executing it almost as perfectly as they could, thus making it an enjoyable watch, but boy it could drop off a cliff at any moment.

Oh good, at least there's enough data to separate male/female data. I really hope they let people cast multiple votes.
