I never found Yuyushiki all that funny; in fact, the characters laughed more than I did. Instead, it kept me engaged via its happy atmosphere and character interactions.

Yui is easily my favorite character. If not for Kyouko, she would be my favorite in Yuri Yuru as well (same VA and similar personality).

I find it extremely difficult to nail down a favorite character in YuruYuri because there are so many great girls. I think I like one the most, but then I think of another, and my own argument becomes invalid. xD They are all my favorite :3

Ok time for an episode before bed.

I don't know a whole lot about that show, but I do like the art style in the pictures I've seen :3 What's it like?

Just decided I'm going to start a mini marathon of Yuyushiki. Maybe 3 or 4 episodes if I can handle it. Usually I can't watch that much at one time, but tonight is a special night.

I wasn't impressed by the first two episodes, but the third convinced me to continue watching. I don't like superheroes or most shounen, so I'm surprised that I like BnHA.

The only shows I've dropped so far are Ace Attorney, because I don't want to watch an inferior version of the game I'm playing, and Joker Game, which triggers too many of my writing pet peeves.

Lol this anime. Everything can be all cool and seemingly innocent, then suddenly BOOM a clitoris reference. I only made it 2 episodes through my mini-marathon because I was seriously burning out. Honestly, picking the night of 4/20 to try and keep my eyes open was a bad idea xD

It sure got the imagination rolling though...

Finished Yuyushiki. I sorta woulda liked if more things happened, but it was cute and happy and sometimes really funny.

I know I said that I enjoyed the majority of focus being on the main three girls, but by the end of the series I was wishing that they'd interact with the other three a bit more. Lots of potential there.

Now would probably be a good time for me to lookup a newer SoL. I've been going through all the "old" ones xD

Two things. First, did you notice what I was referring to with this comment:

I love the subtle character development on the part of its lead; it's a small, yet clever and realistic, change in her personality that brought a newfound appreciation to earlier parts of the show.

Second, what do you think of this?



The puppet theory isn't in my personal headcanon; it's too sad. :(

EDIT: Found the picture on google. Damn. I cannot accept that theory. There are holes in it anyway :( Doesn't really explain the interaction between Yuzu/Yukari and everyone else.

The picture theorizes that Yukari and Yuzuku are merely puppets Yui uses to cope with some sort of trauma. The supporting evidence is that the three are usually framed in the same way and that the focus of other characters is usually on Yui.

I just looked up the scene; it's about 21 and a half minutes into the last episode. You may notice that Yui's character design is slightly different than earlier in the series. There was a scene in the first episode that indicated that Yui was uncomfortable with her sexuality, and the ways she acts in this one implies that she now is. When the series is viewed in this light, a lot of the sexually charged dialogue in the series takes on new meaning.

Man. I don't think I can look at this anime the same way again :P So many good points to support the theory.

I watched the scene you mentioned, although I didn't really pick up much of a hint on her sexuality. It seemed like she was coming to terms with being able to go out places and have a good time with Yuzu and Yukari without being too embarrassed. Maybe I just missed something, but that's the feeling I got from it.

Honestly though, I wanted SOMETHING to happen between Yui and one of the other girls. Some sort of misunderstanding or awkward moment that brings them closer together.. but it didn't really happen. A lot of suggestive dialogue from Yuzu/Yukari and not much else.

It's the chest. Yui was embarrassed by her lack of development in the first episode. The scene in the final episode subtly emphasizes that her body had changed over the year in which the series is set, and her behavior indicates that she is no longer embarrassed. It's a pretty small detail, but it enriched the entire show for me.

I feel like an idiot for not even noticing that. I was paying more attention to the dialogue in that scene x_x

Oh well.. It was a great anime with a really unique quality to it. Another one that will never be forgotten. :)

Now would probably be a good time for me to lookup a newer SoL. I've been going through all the "old" ones xD

Yuyushiki? Old? It came out in 2013!

If you want stuff from last year, I recommend Non Non Biyori and Gakkou Gurashi!. NNB came out in 2013, but both its "sequel" and GG! aired last summer. NNB Repeat was my AOTY 2015, though I liked the first season a little better. It's relaxing, funny, and adorable. GG!, on the other hand, is not your standard slice of life. If you plan to watch it, don't look up anything about it, not even its genre. The writing is questionable in a few places, but it's one of the most unique titles in recent memory. Its characters are more complex than those of your standard slice of life, and it is one of a few anime to handle tonal shifts well. You'll know if you'll like it by the end of the first episode.

And now, for the reason I made this post. At this point, ~3 episodes of everything have aired, and I want to record my current impressions of this season. At its conclusion, I will be able to see how wrong my predictions are.  :biggrin:

My favorite show is Diamond is Unbreakable, because it's JoJo's. No further explanation is necessary. It's pretty much guaranteed to be great.

After that, I am really enjoying a few slice of life titles. I'll list them by premiere date. Bakuon!! is hilarious and sports an endearing cast. It deserves a much higher score than its current 6.4 on MAL. Flying Witch is arguably my favorite SoL this season. It's somewhat like Non Non Biyori, both in terms of setting and tone, but with an older cast. Finally, Sansha Sanyou reminds me of Yuyushiki. In only two episodes, it has already built some great character dynamics.

To round out my top 5 shows of the season, I'll likely go with Kizunaiver. I don't like Mari Okada's writing. Of her original works, I've only liked Hanasaku Iroha, which is a 6/10 on my scale, or an 8 or so on MAL's scale. As already stated in this thread, I hated AnoHana. The only other anime she's worked on that I like are adaptations, such as Toradora! and Sakurasou. However, her overdramatic tendencies and Trigger's signature insanity work really well together. Kizunaiver is the biggest surprise of the season.

Then, there's the other notable shows. Sakamoto is pretty funny. Its gags may become stale by the end of the show, but I'm enjoying it so far. Luluco is Trigger's other show, and I'm also enjoying this one. It's stereotypical Trigger at its finest. I've already given my opinion on Boku no Hero Academia.

Finally, there is Re: Zero, which I have mixed feelings towards. I've heard a few things about its source material. It's supposed to turn into misery porn, but with compelling characterization, within a few episodes. In fact, that is why I'm watching it. However, at this point, it seems to be a mixture of two other Studio Whitefox shows: Steins;Gate and Akame ga Kill. Like S;G, it has a unique and consistent time travel gimmick, and a somewhat dark tone. Like AgK, it suffers from a horrible case of tonal whiplash. If R:Z would drop its attempts at "self-aware" humor, it would instantly become a much better show. Currently, it's not sure if it wants to be a poor man's Konosuba with a sadistic form of time travel or something darker. Quality wise, R:Z could be almost as good as Steins;Gate, as shitty as AgK, or anywhere in between.

The only notable show I am not watching is Kabaneri. I don't like Studio WIT. Aside from the first third of Death Note, I don't like anything Tetsurou Araki has ever directed. I don't like Attack on Titan, or any of its clones (thanks, anime club!  :censored). Even though KnK is the most popular show this season, I have no intention of picking it up.

I'm watching a few other shows, but they aren't notable enough, in either a good or bad way, to talk about here.

If it isn't part of the current or previous anime season, I usually consider it old :P It's not meant in a bad way, of course :)

I actually started watching NNB last year, but for some reason I ended up getting into other anime, and never finished NNB. I'll probably end up rewatching it from the beginning since I only watched four episodes. As for Gakkou... I already know what that is :P It's not the type of atmosphere I like, to be honest. It has that dark side to it, which turns me off. I read the first few chapters of the manga but stopped pretty early on.

Currently I'm watching a short OVA series. Probably not even worth mentioning the name but here's a stunning picture from it.

Oh. Well, you can't go wrong with any of the three SoL I mentioned in my previous post.

GG! was one of the few times I read the source before the anime came out. I loved it, though I understand not liking its atmosphere; it certainly is not for everyone.

You really need to finish NNB. Maybe this will convince you to pick it back up.  :)

Greetings!
I've never watched any anime properly before because I've never been into the style, but I love Japanese movies and have watched a lot of good ones lately, many of which are incidentally based on manga/anime, so I figured now was as good a time as ever to give it a chance. I decided to start with Death Note, since I loved the psychology between L and Light in the movies, and figured it would be great to see it expanded in the series.

I just finished episode 9, where Light meets L face to face for the first time. So far I'm enjoying the series a lot. I already know the major story points from the movies, which actually makes me more excited to see it play out here and compare the similarities and differences. I'm also glad it appears to be the same voice actor for Ryuk in the movies and series, because he brings a lot of personality to the character.

I think Death Note is a great introduction to anime. Talk about starting with the right step.

Also, if you liked the Parasyte movie, i highly recommend you watching the anime too.

You can watch Assassination Classroom, it's currently airing (the 2nd season). It will still take some years to fully adapt all of the manga though.

Now, never watched it but most says the Gantz anime isn't as good as the manga. Plus it wasn't fully adapted (there's no ending).

It's good to see you in this thread, Blob :3

I haven't seen Death Note, but it's quite popular in my area. It's always interesting to find out what makes others like the anime they like, especially since I'm usually the opposite  :lol

Glad you're enjoying it so far, though. I love stories of people getting into anime, because it's really like a whole 'nother world once you find something you like. It has given me so much joy and happiness that I'd have a very hard time going without it.

Right now I have three anime to juggle, with others on the horizon. Finally got around to starting Azumanga Daioh, which was so long overdue. How can I call myself a fan of Slice Of Life anime if I haven't even watched the one that started it all? :P Also started Kyou no Go no Ni, which is cute so far (Aihara <3 ). Last but not least, I am catching up on Non Non Biyori. Only watched 4 episodes last year before switching to other anime, so I want to go back and finish it.

That's a shame on Gantz. I'm still waiting to see the second Assassination Classroom movie (just came out in Japan), so maybe I'll hold off on that until then anyway. Sounds like Parasyte will be my next series.
I don't know if I'll explore anime beyond that yet, I'll see how it goes. It's probably rare for someone to be so into Japanese stuff like me, but not be into anime at all. :lol

You should get to it at some point. Despite what its name may imply, it's not remotely dark. The common opinion is that it diminishes in the final third (I personally found the second third, aside from its spectacular conclusion, to be far inferior to the final third), but the first third is some of the most exciting stuff out there, and is well worth watching.

You should get to it at some point. Despite what its name may imply, it's not remotely dark. The common opinion is that it diminishes in the final third (I personally found the second third, aside from its spectacular conclusion, to be far inferior to the final third), but the first third is some of the most exciting stuff out there, and is well worth watching.

It has an R+ rating on MAL so I'm probably not going to watch it. I don't like blood/violence in anime unless it's mild or for comedic purposes.

HunterXHunter was too much for me, and I'm sure many would consider that anime to be pretty tame by comparison to some others out there. This is why I stick to Slice Of Life :P

Death Note has an R+ rating? The boxset here only has the equivalent of a PG-13 rating. I'm only 14 episodes in, but I don't recall any blood (maybe one shot of someone dead with blood pooling under them), and the deaths are just people clutching their chest and falling over from heart attacks. It's not gory at all, most of the show focuses on the psychological back and forth between the guy causing the deaths, and the guy trying to catch him.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

MAL is incredibly weird when it comes to ratings. Death Note is PG-13 at worst.

How far did you get into HxH? The early parts are tame, but later arcs become quite violent. The switch happens around 30-40 episodes in.
Only a prog fan would try to measure how much they enjoy a song by an equation. :lol
My anime can beat up your anime.

I have to avoid most anime outside of SoL/Comedy because so many things remind me of so many other things. One of my grandfathers passed away of a heart attack... So...

..I won't be watching DN.

Anime, to me, is a feeling of being uplifted and brought to a better state of mind. It has become my routine at the end of the night to watch an episode of something, because it makes me laugh and I feel relaxed. No worries about drama, or people dying, or anything like that. It's a huge stress relief to see cute girls smiling and interacting :)

I got to the Chimera arc around 80-90 episodes in. Couldn't continue after that.

It's a shame really. You gonna be missing some of the very best animes then. Well, at least there's plenty good stuff from the Slice of Life and Comedy genres.

But i imagine there's some SoL animes that can be pretty sad, no?

"The very best" is different for everyone :) I think SoL is the best.

It can absolutely be sad. Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai is a good example of this. Some moments made me teary-eyed, especially in the last few episodes.

Hm, just to be sure and, if you don't want to talk about it, just say and i will stop.

Your dislike of violence/blood/gore is because a kind of trauma or not?

It's because of a lot of things. I'm not willing to discuss it.
