I'm really digging Made in Abyss. The art/animation is gorgeous and the story, at least one episode in, is intriguing.

And holy poo poo the music is fantastic.

Having watched one episode of Kakegurui, it seems like a show really hampered by being (yet another) anime set in a highschool. It's premise is just dumb and would have been much better suited by being set in the world of professional gamblers or a fight club style thing of ordinary salary people.

Eh, maybe this show isn't for me because my eyes practically rolled out of my head watching the first episode.

Everything Burrito posted:

churchboys show is kinda wild, like the pace felt breakneck and it never really stopped to catch a breath between some new "miracle' or somebody getting brutally murdered. I watched the first two episodes back to back and I think I might continue to watch it in chunks especially if the mysteries are going to be contained in short arcs (assuming this first one wraps up w/ep3); I think the pacing will work better like that rather than speeding headlong into a week's wait for the next part.

Is it basically anime X-Files?

I'm enjoying Tsurezure Children more for each episode i watch. It's adorable.

It's so wonderfully awkward and cringy

Ah brings back memories.

I'm still watching Centaur's Life/Worries, but I must say, the tone feels off sometimes. A lot of things seem vaguely ominous in I way I don't remember them being in the manga, to the point where I wonder about the anime director's political views.

It feels like it's supposed to be more than just window dressing or scene setting given how up front and in your face about it it is. If it doesn't take a big turn at some point into a full own dystonia I''ll feel like they've let that chekhov's gun sit on the wall.

If you aren't watching Made in Abyss, Princess Principal, Tsuredure Children and haven't given Guru Guru a shot, you're doing this season wrong. Especially the first two, contenders for best of the year so far.

1 is great
2: doesn't look that appealing to me
3 is fantastic
4 I dropped about halfway through the first episode.

I love how it took exactly one text for the sister to give away that she was texting from her brother's phone.

Also lovesick girl who thinks she has a cold is adorable.

Yuki (Red-haired girl) and the Furuya siblings are good, but they have nothing on the dumb Manzai couple (Kana and Chiaki?).

Yuki is an expert troll, I very much approve of her.

Does Japanese have the same "sleeping together" colloquialism that English does? I'm wondering how much of that conversation was changed to make sense in English.

There's a lot of good completely new stuff this season:

Kakegurui (I also really like that the ED did some really good stuff with a great song and 3 short walk cycles)
Made in Abyss
Tsurezure Children
and a few others

No reason to waste time on a subpar born in another world anime

Does tsurezure do the same jumping around that the manga does?
I eventually dropped the manga because i just could not follow who was who.

Yeah, but I think it's only 4 or 5 couples/quasi couples so it's not bad.

Fangz posted:

The entire last segment is a parade of bullshit reasons for them to not meet up. Him deciding not to write down his name. Him deciding to not bother writing her name before he forgets. Him handing her back the braid. Him not keeping any notes from his entire research expedition or telling anyone about things. Him not speaking to Tessie and co when he recognised them. Him forgetting about the shrine after all. Them passing each other multiple times. You can't even explain it in terms of 'it all gets erased' when things like the drawings he did of Itomori *did* stick around, as did the writing he did on her hand.

I think he also forgot that he even had the whole body jumping experience, except for a vague feeling that something was off, so had no reason to really do a lot of investigating.

My impression of Gamers from the first episode is that the author had never played a videogame in his life but was I wrong??

Most of it doesn't really focus on console or pc games. It's pretty much all arcade, mobile, or the quasi casino games that are popular in Japan.

Two background characters play fighting games or FPS's but they've barely speak a dozen lines between the two of them.

Watched the latest episode last night. It moves on a decent pace. I kinda like how the gamer club is all about being the best in their genre and the MC is just like "I play games for fun"

I worry that Tendou is just gonna be used like training wheels for Keita, who's real match is probably Chiaki though.
