Re: Anime/Manga Discussion Thread
We have arrived at the Fall season of Anime starting. Just curious as to what you guys are currently watching/planning on watching for this season.
As for me?
Fall Shows
Log Horizon (season 2) - Obviously my big one. I think Log Horizon is my favorite Anime in recent memory, and even the switch to Studio DEEN for animation can't temper my excitement too much. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
selector spread WIXOSS - The first season (selector infected WIXOSS) I watched on a whim, and was completely surprised. I had no idea what to expect, but here was an anime with a bright, cheery opening... filled with teenaged girls as the cast for the most part... and it was filled with soul-crushing suffering and twists. Came out of nowhere for me. I liked the first one, and I want some answers. Already have the first episode of this season (from earlier today) watched. Looking forward to more.
Kiseijuu - I really have no idea what to expect out of this, but it is Madhouse and the premise seems somewhat interesting so I'm gonna give it a shot.
Psycho-Pass and Psycho-Pass 2 - I haven't watched the first season at all, so I gotta get caught up on that. No idea what it's about, no idea how good it is... but it's something I wanna give a shot.
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works - Again, not one I've watched... but Mel watched a bunch of the Fate/ stuff and enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll catch some episodes here and there.
With not planning on following too many Fall shows (LH2 and ssWIXOSS being the main ones I want to check out) I definitely need to do some catching up.
Backlogged Stuff
Haikyu!! - I'm about halfway through this. Very enjoyable so far. Nothing crazy, just a solid sports anime.
Baby Steps - I fell behind while it was airing, maybe 1/3 of the way through. Another solid sports anime that I thoroughly enjoyed... from what I've seen of it at least. Gotta finish this one up.
Rail Wars! - I haven't watched too much of this. It feels weird to me, because I feel like it has a lot of things I don't like (some fan service moments that... just don't need to be there) and a somewhat odd feel in general to me, but from what I've seen I haven't been able to stop watching. Gotta finish this, even if it's just to broaden my horizons. Definitely not a big name show, or one that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone... but surprisingly enjoyable for me.
Re:_Hamatora - Forgot all about this. I watched Hamatora and found it a good way to pass the time. I'll watch this just for the sake of wrapping up storylines, even if some of the changes from the first couple episodes felt a bit weird to me.

. Big fan of "The lie you told in April" at the moment, I put it right up there with Fate this season. About a concert pianist and violinist with great music and animation. Thankfully most air weekly except for " Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei(The Irregular at Magic High School), which has finished airing already. The show has good animation by Madhouse and a surprisingly serious tone to it.
