Alongside my obvious pick of Bloom Into You, I'll definitely be trying Tsurune, Spyce, and Anima Yell. Got a bunch of maybes after that: Might try Slime Isekai, might try That Trigger Show That's Actually Trigger This Time, probably gonna try Irozoku because it looks pretty and PA Works has a good track record, might try that bunny girl show with the weirdly serious PV just to see what the gently caress. Probably gonna pick up an older shounen off the backlog too, now that there's no more HeroAca for a bit. Maybe finally give Brohood a try.

Also it sounds like they're being coy in a way that very unsubtly suggests a Madoka-esque 3rd Episode Whammy of some sort, so curious what that turns out to be.

Decided to try Akanesasu Shoujo/The Girl In Twilight on a whim after a few twitter friends livewatched. Pushing some very mid-2000's Magical Girl-adjacent adventure show buttons. Definitely not gonna be AOTS or anything like that, but seems like a perfectly entertaining way to wile away half an hour every monday for a few months.

I'm not sure what I was expecting from Zombie Land Saga, but it sure wasn't a black comedy about an extremely strange man forming a screamo idol unit out the shambling corpses of 5 undead idols. Sure. Why not? I'm game.

I'd been looking forward to seeing how Bloom Into You would hold up on a production level for quite a while, and I'm really delighted with how the first ep turned out. If they keep up that level of quality throughout they're gonna have a good one on their hands.

Lemon-Lime posted:The weird, no-chemistry relationship is intended. Eh, I'd say you get at least a decent idea of what Nanami's deal is by the end of volume 1 - they'll probably get there by the end of ep 2 or 3 IMO. They go into more detail and stuff after that but there's a very specific scene I'm thinking of where Yuu goes "Oh I think I get it now."

Expect My Mom posted:Okay interesting! That's good to hear, thanks. FWIW if you decide to read the manga and find yourself still on the fence, I'd say the end of volume 2 is a good make-or-break moment. One of my favorite scenes in the manga, kinda crystallizes the story's key dynamic for the next like 3-4 volumes. If you get that deep in and aren't sold then you probably aren't gonna get sold.

Gridman's an interesting beast. Very, very, very moody relative to Trigger's reputation. There isn't a note of background music until 3 quarters of the way through the episode. I'm not sure what it's going for just yet thematically, but it's really solidly executed so far so I'll stick around and see if I can find out. Also it sure looks like that early twist they keep hinting at is just that they're in the loving Matrix. Kind of hope it's at least a little bit more complicated than it appears.

So, a week in and right now my season's looking like follows, in rough order of quality: Bloom Into You: Very sturdy-seeming adaptation of one of my favorite manga. If it finds/invents a good stopping point and keeps relatively close to the production standard established in the premiere it'll cruise to my AOTS. Zombieland Saga: Delightfully dumb, demented premise established - but it has a rather difficult tonal tightrope to walk IMO. Could wind up being real good, real bad, or anywhere in between - but we'll always have that great first episode. The Girl In Twilight: Looks like a fun B-tier action piece - strong cast, decent aesthetic, good soundtrack, intruiging premise. This'll probably be as high as it ever gets on my seasonal rankings, but it looks to be fun in a throwback, Mai-hime sort of way. Release The Spyce: Namori does a more overtly goofy Princess Principal. I'm not entirely feeling the character writing in the first episode, but I wasn't entirely feeling it at this point for Princess Principal either, so eh. Was certainly fun and funny. Could rise or fall a fair bit depending on what the writing gives it to work with. SSSS Gridman: I'm not entirely sure what we're going for yet, but after a visually striking and intensely atmospheric first episode, I'm certainly interested in finding out. My Neighbor The Vampire: Cute, wholesome, spooky. Shame the production's a bit janky, and the show's 4-koma roots are obvious but still - a cute and wholesome way to kill 20 minutes on a weekend. Reincarnated As A Slime: The first episode was a bit too heavy on the exposition for my liking, but the animation is really excellent and I'm hopeful that, with the exposition dump out of the way, the rest of the show could lean harder on what I'm told is a really solid action-comedy. Could rise quite a bit on my list if it does, because the animation and direction seem more than good enough to carry the writing as far as it can possibly go. Anima Yell: Yep, this sure is a DogaKobo Manga Time Kirara adaptation. I'm not really sold on the cast yet, but I like Manga Time Kirara and I like what Dogakobo does with those stories. It's just not filling as much of a niche for me this season when I have Bloom Into You providing the Yuri and shows like Zombieland, Spyce, and Slime providing the comedy. Could possibly climb above Vampire Neighbor if the cast establishes itself more strongly. Dropped: Between The Sea And The Sky: Came in, perhaps foolishly, hoping for something akin to a mix between Aria and Yurucamp, with cute girls serenely casting out fishing lines against a space-y background. Got a C-tier children's show with low-rent Love Live characters awkwardly shilling some mobage instead. This would be a drop even in a much weaker season than Fall seems to be. Still (Probably) Going To Try: Bunny Girl Tsurune (when it comes out in 50 years/two weeks) Irozuku Pretty loaded season, especially by my standards.

dogsicle posted:next week should be even better on the cute goblin front. i'm still just in awe of how light and funny the slime adaptation is, even with totally invented gags like the dragon names or the noble commissioning the adventurer's guild. the comedic timing is great and they're still going wild with really fluid slime animation. Slime-kun's visuals are indeed a lot of fun and carry the show even where the writing's just okay. I liked episode 2 quite a bit.

FWIW, Asenshi is a pretty good fansubber group that's picked up Bloom. Not that I would ever endorse dirty piracy

Zetsubou-san posted:After a lack-luster second episode, I am pleased to report that Akanesasu Shoujo has swerved back towards the magi-tech girls show I wanted. It's the uncommon sort of show where I actually like the 3D CG more than the traditional animation work, tbh. The fight scenes so far have been pretty entertaining.

Tsurune's first ep was more or less exactly what I expected from the premise 'KyoAni does a show about high school archer boys.' Very, very pretty backgrounds. Minato's scar is metal AF. I've heard of people getting hurt by snapped bowstrings before, but I always got the impression it was more 'I got an ugly welt' than 'my entire side literally got split open like someone got me with a sword.'

Is Target Panic supposed to be fear of anything in particular (like the bow giving out, loving up the shot, etc), or just a generalized shooting anxiety?

Akanesasu Shoujo has rebounded nicely from a rather dull second episode over the last couple of weeks, mostly by A.) getting rather gleefully dumb and B.) inviting Tomoyo Kurosawa to put on increasingly silly voices and impressions. Good fun.

Darth Walrus posted:Incidentally, is there any meaningful tension or conflict in Slime? I know a bunch of folks seem to like it, but it sounds suspiciously like one of those 'overpowered protagonist bulldozes through everything, fixes everyone's problems with the dozens of superpowers they've pulled out of their rear end' shows, and I tend to find those pretty boring even when the power-fantasy they're fulfilling isn't outright reprehensible. Nah, I'm sticking with it mostly because it's rather funny and well-animated and because it seems like a rather good-natured sort of power fantasy. Less "what if you were the ultimate badass" and more "what if you had the ability to see lots of cool places and help lots of cool people."
