Anime: the good, the bad, and the WTF!?!?!

So Free! got pretty intense there during the summer training camp . . . Wink

But not nearly as much as Titan. I was waiting for this part and it has sincerely exceeded my expectations.

World God Only Knows is doing great with the 'goddess arc', or as I like to call it, the 'Keima-gets-his-come-uppance-for-being-a-player' arc.

But forget all that for now.

Anyone else watching the awesomely funny slice-of-life Servant × Service ? It's life as a Japanese social worker. Do not watch while drinking or eating, you've been warned.

Blood Lad started great, but it's starting to get cliche, but I still have hope. Elsewhere in the shonen department, Gatchaman CROWDS reminds me a lot of Soul Eater. It is the successor to G-Force, but only fairly loosely.

Elsewhere, I want to go to a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban'ei]Ban'ei[/url] race and eat pizza with gorgonzola and make sausage and and and PORK BOWL!!!!!!!!!!!

Um Kuroko new season should be in a few weeks, and I think Deadman Wonderland is coming back as well.

Also, Assassination Classroom (Ass Class) is getting an anime.

I REPEAT:

Also, Kingdom and Hunter x Hunter are still awesome.

As is Sunday Without God, Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist, Space Brothers, Gifu Dodo!! Kanetsugu and Keiji (it's fist of the north star, but prettier and during the Sengoku period), and The Eccentric Family.

Ok, so I'm watching like half the new shows this season. This season is just really strong. I don't even mention

I'm only watching maybe half the shows you mentioned, and none that you didn't mention, but yeah, it is a pretty strong season.

I came to this thread just to say how much I love Attack on Titan.

Also Black Lagoon is getting a new season at some point.

These are the things that keep me interested in anime, and in that sense, breathing and stuff.

So season 1 of Silver Spoon has ended, is there anything that can possibly fill this void?

Oh, wait, that's right:

Welp, SO and I are totally hooked on Attack on Titan. I also love all the characters, for as far as we can tell they're not forced into the position of virgin/whore/wife.

Also I was looking around for plus size anime characters because I'm a bit tired of the cliche stick thin moe fanservice ladies and found this:

Apparantly her name is Kasugaoka Kurumi from a typical dating sim that got cancelled. While I hold no love for dating sims, I absolutely adore this character from just her appearance.

Alas it makes me also sad, because a character like her will never have her own anime series/movie.

Apparently my wife and I are headed to Anime Weekend Atlanta. Just hitting it Saturday (work and all), though one of our friends will have a booth.

I recently tried actually watching Gurren Lagann, partly because some people had been talking about how much more meaningful it had been to them than Attack on Titan is. I completely lost interest a few episodes in. I'm not particularly interested in Attack on Titan anymore, either, but that's a different story.

It later triggered a memory of having seen an English dub of it on TV or summat several years ago, back in the "we actually had a device dedicated solely to watching television shows? whaaaaat???" era. I'd lost interest in that after less than ten minutes, if I recall correctly.

anyway, I still like some of the music
I guess
and, of course, this is still epic
so, uhhhhh
there's that, at least
