most hype: Princess Principal, cos 3Hz's other recent anime original, flip flappers, was my favorite anime last year, soundtrack by yuki kajira so at a minimum should have good music
Kakegurui: safest pick this season

curious for: 18if: different director every episode, which gives this potential to be experimental and cool like space dandy. or it might be poo poo we'll see
Made in Abyss: like the unique art style, and especially the background art.
The Reflection Wave One: stan lee apparently made an anime w/ the director for mushishi. why not
Vatican Miracle Examiner: pope

maybe: Restaurant to Another World: after gazillionth seasons of hell girl and monogatari this is apparently what japanese nerds voted as their most anticipated anime this season. maybe they are onto something?
NTR: Netsuzou TRap yeah why not

i think princess principal has real potential to be a good show that does really badly commercially just like flip flappers

out of severe boredom i watched Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu and its an all right action show but it does have some real impressive background art, i'll give it that

the only innovative (i assume, i haven't seen this before)thing it does is the next episode previews appearing as a vn

there's also the thing with Amazon where they aren't really licensing stuff themselves and just gladly accepting whatever shows Sentai will throw at them. hopefully HIDIVE is a stronger service next season and Sentai sends more/all their stuff there.

i saw hidive getting a real good line up this season, at least for shows i want to watch this season, and they even have a handful of shows amazon picked up but are just airing them in the rest of the world outside of amerikkka

18if is pretty visually ambitious but the narrative is a bit incoherent and it was somewhat boring despite looking interesting. like a mediocre flip flappers. it may have potential, or might be wildly uneven since its supposedly doing the thing with a different director and i think screenwriter for each episode with relative autonomy

Watching princess principal makes me miss darker than black. Though it's not a bad show, the visuals looks great, and I like how it doesn't merely ape steampunk conventions, but actually hammers in the privation and destruction of the human spirit during the Victorian age. And I knew from the opening sequence that the magic rock that powers the magic steampunk tech had better be polluting as gently caress.

A fan of the main character lying constantly, not a fan of character designs going too cutesy.

made a thread for it

i kind of like the bizarre mix between art styles because for me at least it highlights the "just roll with it" of the premise

i was real worried about your name after fuckin hating 5 cm per second but the movie really owned, imo

Fangz posted:

So we stop talking about these horrible horrible things I just saw Your Name.

It was very pretty but my issues with Shinkai's storytelling are still present. Characters babbling exposition endlessly, over-reliance on a romance plot, lack of clear motivations, no real character development, the resolution being unearned, bullshit contrivances...

the resolution seemed earned to me? they did terrorisms to save the people of the town and then wandered around for half a decade searching for eachother and poo poo. the only thing that didnt really make sense to me was why mitsuha's friends so uncritically accepted her assessment of the comet impact (even before finding the evidence that this has happened before) but maybe they did b/c of her families history of magic freaky friday dreams. but w/e you also complained about a romance movie having a romance plot

still need to watch a silent voice

after this interview with the director i am somewhat intrigued by this fall 2017 show:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/interview/2017-09-13/amica-kubo/.120872

mainly cos women so seldom get to direct anime when they actually do its because they are real fuckin good (eg blood blockade, michiko and hatchin) and the pv looks interesting. her philosophy on the design elements sound promising too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzzXyRcGFw

the manga being adapted seems pretty bare boned and as the interview implies this seems like the series is gonna be borderline anime original too, which is always interesting. i have hopes for this show and will definitely keep an eye on it
