SAO 1 & 2 were great. it was getting little boring near end, cus the plot was predictable. but i love their soundtracks, background arts and the concepts are intriguing.

I recommend watching Fate/Zero if you haven't already. Especially if you enjoyed it's OSTs since it was essentially made by the same composer. The art is on par with SAO and the story is beyond better, even though the concepts is not as original. The main selling point is the style it tells it's story and it's character. There is no "main characters" as all characters have a good amount of screen time to flesh them out enough to enjoy everyone of them, a style hugely unique in anime due to it's risk.

will do sir!

if you watch F/Z, make sure to check out Fate/Stay Night Remake too

Quick question, Zetetic, what genre of anime do you like to watch best?

i don't know exactly. i like SAO and GBF series. so i guess that's a second world action fantasy with little romance?
i just need the first positive footstep(it's whether the awesome background art or intriguing concept), then i will just make the rest of way in.

i definitely do not like anime like naruto, death note, one piece.(prob watched 2-3 episode of each) i also just watched first 20min of fate/zero, i am kind of leaning toward no right now. idk i guess i hate depressing, mysterious, dark stuff.

Hmm you dislike the darker style, I guess F/Z is not your type then, just went with a recommendation that is more popular to the western audience.

Some typical series that might pique your interest. These are merely series that is typically liked by the general public and considered decent gateway anime, that seems match your interest. Take what you will.

Accel World - Placed in the future of SAO where technology advances a lot more. Where VR games got to the point where the time in the world equates to mere seconds of the real world. Cons - MC is not very likeable, personality and character design wise. http://myanimelist.net/anime/11759/Accel_World

Chuunibyou - More romance, no adventure, kinda fantasy like. Takes place in highschool and focuses on the main character for is trying to get past his super nerdy past, otherwise known as the eighth grade syndrome, where a peron acts like a character from an anime all the time. He then gains a new neighbor who is currently going through that phase and is reminding himself of his shameful past. Cons, kinda? - less action more comedy and the characters acting cute to be cute, mainly based on your taste.

Gate - More focus on the fantasy and action portion, but have a decent amount of romance. Modern Tokyo Japan had a random appearance of a gate that lead to another fantasy world. As they fight off the invasion, the Japanese military then sets out a mission to enter the other side of the gate and establish control in the otherworld. Focuses on an military ace who is known as an Otaku or anime geek and values his hobby over work anytime. Cons - Slower beginning, a bit darker the further you get, has some to do with politics and the military(based on taste too).

Devil is a Part Timer - opposite to gate where the demon lord comes to modern Japan. More comedy and romance. Quite a funny comedy that focuses on the Demon Lord who became a human trying to co-exist in Japan working part time for McDonalds. Con - Comedy may differ to each person.

Gurren Lagann - In the vast future where humans were forced to live underground as the outside have grown into horrible condition. Focuses on two character that was done with the sheltered life and wants to aim to the top. As they reach the top they found out that there is a large scale battle between humans and the wildlife using giant mechs. Cons - a large amount of Deus ex Machines. A wish maker type series that should not be taking series, just enjoy the ride.

Seven Deadly Sins - A fantasy world where holy knights protects the empire, however there is rumored corruption in the kingdom and the leader of the seven deadly sins, known to be the strongest group is out to find the rest of his members that had separated after their exile from the kingdom. Cons- uh, if you don't like the standard adventure style and OP characters, you won't like this I guess.

No game no life, Log Horizon, Overlord, for RPG/ Fantasy style anime. Accel World I would recommend since the second season has been announced to be in production finally.

there

Where are all the Hellsing Ultimate fans?

I own them. :D


Also, for that Fate/ discussion that's going on. You should watch Studio Deen's Stay Night too, not just ufotables.

I've never laughed so much. Episode 18 of Osomatsu-San was amazing

The anime this season is killing me omg theyre so good

I still hold by my belief that SAO would've been better had it ended after season 1. Went way too Harem for my tastes, especially with all the weirdness with his sister.

season 1 is cancer though.

Have y'all seen this?



Looks ****ing epic.

looks like a mix of fantasy and zombie titans.


Hot though. Some of it reminds me of Ufotables work.

Hiroyuki Sawano's soundtracks are orgasmic as always

What's even better? EGOIST is doing the OP, HYPE!
Damn exact same people who made Guilty Crown is aboard this, Production value is through the roof, hopefully it lives it's hype with the stacked staff.

Apocalypse in Steampunk Japan seems more original than what GC did tho.

Absolute hype.

Guilty Crown was garbage though, egoist I could stand by since they have made psycho-pass ed's and alot of other good tracks.

LootAnime arrived, and now with my DragonBall Z scouter I finally have a more efficient way of finding posts to delete!!!! (joking of course)

T-Shirt is pretty cool, KillaKill scissor blade shirt and a KillaKill shopping bag(I think?) comes with a poster of the theme which looks cool as well, included was a sword pen and some weird candy. The manga was for Steins;Gate and I look forward to reading it!

Next theme is 'haunted' so hoping that has some cool stuff :)

that looks so cool. can I still get those items if I order a LootAnime right now?

Not right now, the theme has moved on and they've shipped all the crates already.

I believe in a few months when they have released a few others they will provide the option of purchasing past crates like you can with LootCrate for gaming stuff.

Anyone else feel like Dagashi Kashi is just one giant ad to get Japanese kids to buy sweets? I mean I don't dislike the anime or anything, it just seems strange that all of the candy they mention in the episodes is actual candy you can go out and buy in Japan.

Cartoons8 is exactly like kissanime. Just in case kissanime is ever down.

Just started watching GATE. Pretty good, only complaints are the Japanese nationalism and the harem aspect.

I was forced into watching that Nana anime. It was one of the most frustrating things ever.

who would do such a thing to you?

idk if anyone here watches RWBY, but the last episode of volume 3 ;-; depressing af

**** has been getting real since the last 3 episodes.

Amazed the series has gone on for so long.

gf during netflix and chill albeit for me netflix and get frustrated at watching stupid anime girls purposely ruin their relationships until it ends on a huge series cliffhanger.

can't wait for volume 4

The world of Remnant is such a magical place. 1 Penny can turn to quarters

Mid season time, my top three of the season:

3. KonoSuba - God's Blessing on this Beautiful World
A hilarious parody on the RPG theme, destroying a ton of typical tropes for comedic purposes. The story is based on an Otaku being reborn into a fantasy world where he has to fight the demon lord. Pretty generic? Well the Otaku is joined together by a useless Goddess, a chuuni mage who can only cast one explosive spell a day and a paladin who can't hit anything, but loves getting hit herself. The characters are all fun and the main character is one of the realest person you can get.

2. Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
What all those RPG anime could have been, pure world and character development, allowing the viewed to fully envelope themselves within the world. With realistic senses throughout, making Log Horizon look like SAO in terms of world building. Outstanding water color art style and just beyond beautiful OSTs that is probably the best this season. Probably slower since it focuses on development over actions.

1. Erased
Of course if you asked anyone what is the best series this season, you'll most likely get pointed towards this series. Which makes sense since this series is just outright suspense story of cat and mouse. Similar to the style of Steins;Gate dealing with changing the past, which already held a large fanbase. Every episode will have you enjoy it to the max, be it during his past or present. All of the main cast are outright lovable and the endings of each episode will be having you flipping tables and staring at calendars. Outright easily the best, but taste will still be a factor.

I'd switch Grimgar to 3 and add Dim. W to 2.


but Erased is so ****ing amazing. A series hasn't hooked me this much since Death Parade.

Another good anime to watch with your Girlfriend is School Days

It's really good.

Eh, considering how long RoosterTeeth has been keeping RvB going I'm not really that surprised.

That last episode was really intense, liked it. Trying to separate themselves from the crowd a little, I think.

Just caught up to episode 5 of Grimgar... That was sad.

Mary seems like a best girl

Im really getting into that anime as of now.

You look like you snorted some dank ass crack before taking that picture.
Where can I get some?

Started watching Konosuba. How do you all like it so far?

EXPLOSION! x Touhou.

Megumin best girl.

Kazuma is indeed Kazuma

Perfect remedy after the pain of Grimgar and Erased.

Kinda strange, Satoru's mother is my favorite character in Erased. Shes that mother that "knows everything;" is caring and knows what to do in every situation; trusts her son to do the right thing and doesnt ask questions when hes being secretive.

I love her! On a related note, **** gonna go down next episode. I have a feeling while kayo is safe(or not), the other kids are still gonna be victims and that causes another rewind since mc has been spending all his time on only saving kayo.
