Overlord is going to be fun. Just finished first episode,

Yeah, the premise is pretty interesting.

I'm not sold on Overlord yet, I'm fine with the 'stuck in an mmo' concept, but the character design is off putting..

I didn't really like it either, but I do see where they are getting the design from.

Oh ya gakkou gurashi looks pretty fantastic. It's kinda like some of you said, if you pay attention while watching it it's pretty obvious something is up, but the show may end up being decent. I'm definitely gonna stick with it for the time being

So I made the mistake of watching the first three episodes of Steins;Gate, and I have to say that's the first time I've binge watched an entire show in a single day.

There's a movie sequel as well.

Wait, WHAT!?!?! *runs off to kissanime*

Anyone else watching Shimoneta? I can't tell if I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it, or if I'm going to get annoyed with the censoring (note: it's purposefully censoring motions, images, and words)... But dirty humor ain't always bad.

After searching on google if shimoneta was what I thought it was, I'm watching just because of this picture alone



Good Gods, that's awesome it's not the pervert we need, but the one we deserve!

It's making fun of feminists and any other censorship lovers in my mind. Speaking of which i'd like to do a parody of the first episode based around that.

I am wondering where they are going with this.

Because the JSDF has an overwhelming advantage, and has wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Fantasy World's armies (as part of a plan by the still somewhat naive Emperor to eliminate his rivals).

I hope they don't take away that advantage, because it is something that would be typical of the trope of "Magic triumphs over technology" that is so common in anime.

They need to leave the military supremacy alone, and develop some other plot device to exploit.

The Summer Anime are definitely better than the Spring, at this point, though.

I want World Trigger to get on with it, though (They are having a skip-week today). It still has 15 more episodes to go.

It would make an EXCELLENT long-running anime, given how big their universe potentially is.

But I have noticed something about long-running anime:

Their animation is usually simplistic, and they tend to be very immature (One Piece, Pokemon, Fairy Tale, and most of Naruto). Even Dragonball falls into this category (as not too advanced cell animation).

I want to see something like Sword Art Online, or GITS get a 100 - 500 episode series.

At this point I kind of thought World Trigger WAS going to be a longer running anime. Did not know there was an end in sight.

Google that at your own risk.

Finally got round to finishing watching the last couple of episodes of Plastic Memories



now off to find something with a few more explosions and car chases.....

Since the manga writer is apparently a right-wing nationalist with anti-western leanings, this outcome seems unlikely.

Spoiler:

It's also why in the manga the US President is a jerk.

I am NOT surprised.

There is a current Reactionary Trend in Japan toward the sort of attitude that is prevalent in the USA (trying to pretend that past history "wasn't really so bad"), where they look back fondly upon the Imperialist Japan of the early 20th Century (the one which had plans to take over the Eastern-Asian Pacific Rim).

So, in MANY Manga/Anime you see this attitude played out. They tend to be very resentful of being unable to field a "proper" military. So, Gate seems to be a wish-fulfillment fantasy in this regard (Japan getting to go play war while both not really being in any serious danger, nor "technically" leaving Japan).

You can even see this in GITS, where the American Empire is portrayed as Evil-Morons, compared to the more Nihon-Centric USA (which is really just "Eastern Japan").

I LOOOOOVE! Shimoneta.

It is freaking hilarious.

One of my favorite anime.

'She is a white privileged woman so clearly she is in the right here.'

I would say it is making fun of the Pathological Social Justice Warriors, and not Feminists. Donna Haraway is a Feminist, and the Social Justice Warriors ran her out of the USA because she supports body-modification and Cybernetics (with the SJWs see as an offshoot of Nazism).

I am VERY hooked into the academic crowd associated with Haraway, and with the Transhumanist Community, and there is a HUGE difference between "Feminism" and the radical Identity Politics of the Social Justice Movement's more fanatical members.

What is sad is that the Social Justice Movement, as it exists in the form of the transition from the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, is very sane, and the issues they address are very real.

But some of the Second Wave Feminists of the 1970s, who could NOT Let go of Post-Modernism (denying that facts exist), ruined things for almost everyone by taking things to extremes that perverted the original intent.

They are just as Authoritarian as any Conservative Evangelical, and just as opposed to the ideals of The Enlightenment (which they blame for every evil of the 20th century).

Oh Gods, I can't believe how good Shimoneta is only in hentai have I ever seen so many fapping animations

SOX is probably the only terrorist group I'd ever join and that I want to see winning. That world is far too scary, I can't believe how much that pervert is a hero, I mean, No porn?! Anywhere?! MADNESS! And yes, the opening music even has that Kamen Rider vibe!

Not only that, in the opening the bastards are blowing up my beloved Akihabara and all the lewd figurines and the pool always used in japanese porns! PMs must pay for this!

I have a sneaky suspicion Anna is gonna be a gigantic Closet Pervert. At least I hope so!

Damn, this season is being so damn good!

I know BeAfraid won't agree with me on this, but I felt there were more shows worth watching in the spring, but the few shows I have picked up for the summer are fantastic. There's a few on the edge that I'll probably cut so I can focus on backlog anime (just started Turn A Gundam tonight after finishing 08th MS Team (Best UC series imo).

I just hope that Shimoneta doesn't get stale, I can only take so many penis jokes before it gets old.

That's essentially what my general issue with harem animes comes down to.

 Alfndrate wrote:

That wording is delicious

I'm actually pretty excited for this season. God Eater, finally, is out. Adaptations of Gate* and Overlord. Six Braves and Chaos Dragon both seem intriguing. Gangsta has really caught my attention. Black Lagoon meets Dogs: Bullets and Carnage. I will also admit that Bikini Warriors is now a guilty pleasure XD It's just so absurd.

*Fortunately, outside of the US president being a jerk, the series thus far hasn't been too hyper-nationalist, though the authors apparent leanings do explain why he seemed to so eagerly enjoy writing the Diet as idiots and the US President as a complete ass wipe

TBH, most anime I have watched hasn't put the US government in a good light. Although Americans themselves tend to get off lighter, we tend to be over the top enthusiastic, but usually well meaning. It's pretty accurate when compared to the Japanese people as a whole.

That I also don't agree but that's the beauty of the many seasons and anime, there will always be something for everyone While in the last season I only kept with Knights of Sidonia and Blood Brigade.

This season, so far:
- Non Non Biyori (OH FRAK YES!!)
- Gate
- Overlord
- Shimoneta
- Bikini Warriors
- Gakkou Gurashi!
- Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou
- (maybe) Prison School. Watched the first episode. Hilarious too
And Rokka no Yuusha loots interesting as hell too!

Edit: Oh Shimoneta, you are a treasure trove of lewd gifs!

See, I'm really only sold on the following shows atm:
Non Non Biyori Repeat
GATE
Rokka No Yuusha
Gangsta.
Durarara!!x2 Ten

I'm on the fence on the following:
Dragon Ball Super
Shimoneta (the jokes/story needs to stay fresh)
Charlotte (I want the MC to keep being good he was in the first 10 minutes of last week's episode)

I've already dropped the following:
Wagnaria!!! (Couldn't get through two episodes of Wagnaria!!)
Bikini Warriors

I've yet to watch the following:
Gakkou Gurashi
Monster Musume (don't think I'll watch this though)
Prison School

And then there's several shows I didn't even check out because it doesn't interest me.

On the other hand, I thought the following shows were really solid shows from spring:
Punchline
Food Wars
Ore Monogatari
Plastic Memories
Hibike! Euphonium
Kekkai Sensen
I can't understand what my husband is saying
DanMachi (when it wasn't in full harem mode)
Oregairu 2

There were other shows that I enjoyed, but those were the ones that started in the Spring...

Oh well, different strokes, right?

Spoiler:

That's it. She is my new waifu. I'm going to pretend this is the middle east for a second and i can have more than one waifu.

Btw i like to imagine every harem anime that ends with a harem ending ends with the main character and all the girls moving to the middle east and making it legal ;P. I totally need to do a sketch on that. Everybody's happy now! Oh and remember you now have next to no rights now but you lived in japan before so you're sorta used to that.

Also on the topic i think it's funny when women fap like men and men fap like women.

Poor Koma-sempai... I hope someday there's a high school sequel where her growth spurt kicked in and she gets to be tall and popular and respected (and constantly harassed by her sister, of course.)

She doesn't like Koma-chan. No one's tried Koma-sempai. She might find that perfectly acceptable.

No! She's the cutest thing with her chibi size!

Again, an entire episode with me all happy and fuzzy inside, I didn't even notice the time flying by. And I missed Hotaru! She really adds so much to the gang <3

*sigh* this show deserves so many more views.

I knew there was going to be zombies and junk. Did not expect it to take this approach... Damn, Im already liking this season much more than last.
