Is no one watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? It is the best anime to come out of Japan in several years.

I watched around 4 episodes then got really busy, decided I'd wait till it was completely done and watch it in one go.


I recommend seeing "Shingeki no Kyojin", probably the best anime this year. It's from a new studio as well, and they're doing a great job by following the manga so closely.

Other then that, it won't hurt to pay a little attention to "Devil Survivor 2".

This season has a few I have been following. Mecha seem to be really popular this year too.

Attack on Titan (or Shingeki no Kyojin) - I randomly read the manga for this one before I even knew it was to be an anime, and I have to say anyone watching this one will be in for a serious treat. Highly recommend. I don't want to say to much on this one because I think the story and how it unveils to you is part of what makes it good, but I can provide a trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c37Jq9zWd-I

Suisei no Gargantia- This one caught my eye early on, but i am not sure why. Basically this has a person that was in a space war with extremely high technology, but due to an accident he ends up stranded (with his mech) on a world with technology around modern day technology. It has me very interested as this is a story device I have not seen to often and 3 episodes in I feel like every episode has really delivered well. Also Highly recommend this one.

Majestic Prince- This one is amusing but not amazing. It feels almost like a generic serious mecha anime, with just enough humor to make it feel fairly fresh. In this one humanity is fighting off an alien race and on of their ideas to fight them off is to genetically alter and train children to be soldiers. They also have mechs that have the pilots DNA and reacts of their instincts or something. Entertaining... would recommend if you really like mecha but otherwise okay to miss

Devil Survivor 2- So I never saw devil survivor 1 but I have played a lot of video games in the world. The show seems interesting, but I am not incredibly enthralled by it.

Mecha is my favorite anime genre. It died out big time in the mid 90s though and will probably never come back to its former glory. That said I usually give new stuff a chance, and was somewhat excited to see three new shows announced, despite them sounding pretty much like run of the mill cliche uninspired stuff. Some thoughts on this season's new three I guess...

Valvrave - Blatant, laughable Gundam clone. Don't see this one ever surpassing mediocrity at best. Being Sunrise though the animation is rather pleasing, and the mecha design is cool too. Characters though are cardboard cut outs, and the story will probably continue to be paper thin. Pretty good mecha porn, not much else to see though by the looks of it. Looks like it might enter "so bad it's good" territory if anything.

Majestic Prince - Just shit. I don't really have much to say about it. Looks like shit, mecha design is recycled shit, characters are arbitrarily selected anime archetypes, this is gonna be a tough one to slog through. Would not suggest this to anyone.

Gargantia - Now this is actually kind of interesting, to my surprise. Being written by Gen Urobuchi, this is the mecha anime I was looking forward to most this year. Premise is definitely interesting, I like the down to earth approach. The animation is rather pleasing as well, kind of looks it has a Ghibli touch at times. I thought episode 3 got off track with the ridiculous tit pirates, but hopefully that doesn't become a focus and was just some random comic relief worked in or something. If the show plays its cards right it could end up being one of the better mecha animes this decade.

I watched around 6 episodes of that, afterwards I kinda dropped it, the teleporting space kid thing is just getting to me...

Second season of Gin No Saji also started last week(same person who made Full Metal Alchemist, though it's something completely different).

And there is another anime which plays in the same world as this one anime movie.
movie: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?sh ... e&aid=7478
anime: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?sh ... e&aid=9888

Shows I'm interested in:
Space Dandy
Noragami
Witch Craft Works
Akuma no Riddle(Lesbo assassins!)

Also Persona 3 Movie(s)

Just starting watching Attack on Titan... pretty freaky... read some of the manga I wasn't a fan... but the Anime is very unpredictable and interesting... you don't get that with the Manga.

Recently finished Guren Lagann, and Kill La Kill. Two utterly similar, yet completely different experiences.

Currently going through Fate / Zero, and Fate Stay Night - UBW. Definitely enjoy the more vocal heroic spirits (Rider) of Fate Zero than the more stoic ones in Fate Stay Night.

Watched the two seasons available of Magi... pretty cool I like most of the characters and plot so far... now reading the manga and it will be interesting to watch the third season... if they make one

I am waiting for DBZ Revival of F.

currently though, I am rewatching one piece, and just hit the summit war arc (the actual war, as I just finished impel down). I like one piece, but the bad thing about it is, there is so much filler during each episode. =\ It like Goku vs Frieza all over again.

I would have to say that Naruto had\has the worst fillers of them all... bleach is a close second

One piece fillers are at least funny

Currently Watching nothing... really its all just back ground noise for me now

lol.
How did you like the second canon thing to come out from AT post DBZ?

Canonwise, the only things considered canon for dbz is Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return! (20 minute? special that introduces tarble, vegeta's brother), Battle of the Gods, and Revival of F. Every other movie and GT are basically a steaming pile of shit... dont get me wrong, the first cooler movie and broly movie were cool and all, but fit no where in the canon.

Watching Tokyo Ghoul... its pretty interesting but they censor a lot of the blood and guts (not sure if it is just Hulu or what but it kind of ruins it for me a little) still not a bad anime just a filler until something better comes along

Now watching Assianasion Classroom... tried the manga but couldn't get into it but the Anime is interesting. Its better with color

Sorry Starnum not much for Gundam.... something about Mechs in space... although I did like Broken Sword... the whole "you need to have a certain trait to use one of the robots but no one can run this one robot... except for the guy that doesn't have the special trait to run any of the other ones." was interesting.

Hey.
So since Berserk is a thing again, I've been thinking of getting into anime once more. Been watching some stuff sporadically, but I haven't really liked anything in ages.
Last thing I watched that wasn't offensively bad was Psycho-Pass.

So. Anything new you guys would recommend?

P.S. Not anime, but has anyone seen Show Me A Hero? That mini-series was amazing.

Started watching Arslan or the Heroic Legend of Arslan... again tried to read the manga,couldn't get into it, but the anime is on a whole other level. The animation is amazing I am talking bar none some of the best I have ever seen. Its got some humor, life lessons and lots of blood and awesome sound effects... probably now one of the top five anime's I have ever watched... and it is still going

Gurren Lagann funny as hell if you haven't seen it give it a chance it is hilarious. Interesting concept... hey you never know how things work after a alien invasion or end of the world it might end up like this

Oh and starnum Tokyo Ghoul is awesome hope they make a second season... same with attack on titan, both shows are amazing

Going to watch Buruto in theaters on the 12th it should be interesting seeing naruto's kid fucking shit up... but you would think they would finish with the anime before doing this but I guess someone doesn't care enough to wait or want the fillers to end because the end of Naruto is so close... Just finish it already!!!!

There is really nothing worth watching, except One Piece. Joker is going down!

Joker is going down I wish they would just kill him... I thought the emotions in the manga was awesome but in the anime you can feel it... also thought they did a better job in the anime with the timing of the executives getting taken down

Edit: Baruto was pretty cool although Baruto as a character was not what I thought he would be... like Naruto but not knowing loneliness... which is a huge gift that no one understands until it is to late. Worth the watch but not a must see... wish they would have went through some of the other relationship that had children... combining bug and shadow paralyzing jutsu would be fun

One Punch man is some great animation and characters

Although I would not call them hero's
