You're looking right at one in OP's post.

I thought Moshidora sounded pretty cool.
But that's about it I guess.

That Touhou doujin anime.

>>7198749
If you liked Kaiji, kaiji s2
Steins Gate is pretty close to the novel (1 ep in), so sci fi and some paranoia
Gintama came back if you liked it
Nichijou is a cross between pani poni and cromartie with cute girls by Kyoani
Hanasaku iroha is a drama with a female MC
that's everything that's aired

Minami-ke

Railgun except for the eps where Saten is in a coma.

K-ON is /jp/'s favorite anime.

>>7198749
Denpa Onna looks like it's going to be.. quite good.

Also if you like comedy/SoL nichijou seems like it's going to be the best one of those since Azumanga, well at least going off the first episode.

Also Steins;Gate has an adaptation that's airing and will go 2 coer so that might also be worth a look.

Also there's like 40 shows airing this season, and so it's easily possible you'll bump into something you weren't planning on seeing and end up liking it.

This season is shit and you're a fucking idiot if you think it isn't.

>>7198767
Kaiji 2?
What? 12 episodes of patchinko?

marimite.

>>7198781
Wherever the s1 left off, I don't follow it.

this show is terrible there is no sign of any of the characters getting raped!!!!! theres not even any amount of panty flashing, bouncing boobs, or other erotic gestures.....

I am dissassppoint

>>7198749
Nichijou is good.
Steins;Gate, unbelievably, is good.
Hanasaku Iroha is... frustrating. Depending on how is the plot going to develop it might be great, or shit. But it's got good production values, at least give it a try.
Fireball Charming doesn't have as good design as the first season, but if you've seen it I don't have to tell you should watch it. If you didn't, go do it now.
X-Men is... kinda good.
That's all I've seen so far.
Generally looks way better than the previous season.

Hanasaku Iroha seems to be the kind of anime I like.

Also /jp/ likes squid girl.

I am /jp/ and I approve this anime. Everyone who says anything to the contrary is a shounen fag that followed you over from /a/.

>>7198811
this, if you can't enjoy hanasaku iroha you need to go back to your shonen babby moe shit like fagtama and fag-on

>>7198814
K-on isnt shounen, moron.

Nichijou's probably going to be the closest thing to Azumanga we're ever going to get.

>>7198817
Please don't reply to posts like that seriously

Yeah, I really liked it hanasaku iroha too. That being said,
>>>/a/

Where do you guys get your infos from?

Hell no, Azumanga was funny, Nichijou is not funny.

See, they are polar opposites.

>>7198814
Why do you spell it shonen and why are you mentioning k-on and shounen? You don't even know what the words mean you're like a retard from /a/

>>7198830
By watching what's airing

>>7198768

Yes, this is true. In fact I made this a few weeks ago to demonstrate because I was in fact rewatching Minami-ke, and noticed a good opportunity to use a scene for something.

>>7198731
What is pic related? filename not helping.

Also, as far as I'm concerned you can watch anything you like, but don't bring anything too childish here (naruto is a given, but zero no tsukahime and that show with the ice girl stalker (forgot its name) are among those. I don't have a fool list, but you get the picture. And it doesn't have anything to do with personal tastes either; Myself, I like P&SwG, but like hell I'm gonna start a thread about them here.)

Did you forget the last episode of PPD, with the fucking giant robot?
Nichijou is PPD on valium.

Many shounen-ai.
In 2D whether it is a boy or girl if it has green eyes and brown hair it's a go for me.

>>7198833

That's all just personal opinions so whatever, I think Nichijou is actually probably going to be funnier than Azumanga. Not as heartwarming or with as good of character designs, but funnier nonetheless.

It also seems that the majority of people agree that it's funny, so you're the odd man out for thinking that it's not funny, and outliers can be discarded when trying to analyze the collective opinions of a huge mass of people. Especially considering that no matter how unanimously good a show is seen as being, there will be dissenters, because it's human nature to have a sudden hipster streak and reject something that you don't completely understand why people like it. Although sometimes you understand and then just write off those kinds of people as being just plain incompatible with your way of thinking, but since you liked Azumanga we can't do that here. Hence you're more of just an outlier.

Although really I should shut up already since there's only been one goddamn episode and it could easily take a turn for the better or worse. But, compared to Azumanga's first episode and especially Lucky Star's first episode, Nichijou has a ton of promise.

>>7198862

Madoka isn't even done yet, you can't judge it when it's not fucking done. Otherwise you simply need to turn in your badge and piece, and resign from ever qualifying to judge anything ever again because you act on incomplete opinions rather than concrete facts, a poisonous way of thinking.

>>7198886
No, Madoka is terrible. They fucked up the plot twist and it has had consistently bad pacing.

It's just a shitty attempt at making mahou shoujo more dark. As if that's new to anime.

SubaHibi seems to be the best show this season. 26 eps, awesome seiyuu cast, and the first ep sticked fairly close to the VN.

K-On Specials

>>7198895

Can you name a single other "dark" mahou shoujo then? Nanoha doesn't even come close to counting for that btw.

And I wouldn't call it a plot twist when it was obvious from the start that we had a very incomplete story and would only learn a more complete picture near the end. You think Homura attacking QB and almost killing him in Ep1 was not a clear demonstration that something is majorly wrong with the entire system, you think that QB asking if Homura is from another time like 2 or 3 episodes before it was confirmed was not foreshadowing? What the fuck do you call a plot twist then, because those weren't twists at all if you have a brain in your skull. The aliens thing is actually pretty much the only rational explanation for the crazy shit going on and why QB's acted the way he has, why he has such abilities etc. He's obviously not of this world, where the fuck do you think he came from then? Whether it be from another magic dimension, or from our own universe, he'd still be an alien either way.

You don't seem to have thought it over well enough; maybe you just don't think enough period because Madoka is clearly paced to increase in exponential increments with major revelations coming every 3 episodes, that is ideal pacing for what Shinbo's intended goal was; he clearly likes to time things to draw in the audience deeper and deeper and so it's no surprise he's doing that again here.

>>7198919

Can we drop this?
I like Madoka.
Some people don't.

You're probably not going to change anyone's mind if you both watched the show and came to different conclusions.

End of story.

>>7198919
Shigofumi, Sailor Moon (mostly manga), maybe things like Full Moon and Pretear

The time loop plot twist has been done enough times. If you're going to do it, don't cram it into one episode with laughable and rushed drama.

>>7198936
Shigofumi is not mahou shoujo.
Not even close.

>>7198919

Or actually correction, with the exponential increments the revelations started at the pace of one per 3, then one per 2 and now we had a complete revelation in one episode (10). Which means 11 will probably have two big revelations and 12, three.

This pacing is all assuming that the delay and fan reaction has not forced Shinbo to change the story to a happier ending, to better satisfy the mass audience. The show's given us nothing but grief for most of its time, only getting worse and worse, and I think Shinbo underestimated the ability for a audience to take it in like a man and not have bitch fits like they are in fact doing, pledging to break BDs because they feel betrayed by the show hurting their feelings too much to bear. That's literally what some people have been saying on 2ch. So we might not get a super-complex ending but rather a simplistic end in 11 and a slice-of-life aftermath episode 12. Whatever happens will indicate the size of Shinbo's balls, which while assuredly huge, may have been slapped hard by public reaction.

How can you not love love this?
unless you post on /jp/ or something

I wish to lick her face clean of nose blood.

I want to have sexual intercourse with the professor.

>>7198936

It's a mindset issue.
If you watch the show looking for faults, you will concentrate on the faults.
If you watch the show hoping for a good show, you will appreciate the good and overlook the faults.

If you convince yourself the show is bad, continuing to watch it will cause you to only pick out more evidence to prove to yourself that you are right.

Basically, 'haters gonna hate'.

I would argue that there are few moments in Madoka that you would find as bad if you want to view it as a good show.
I was a bit ambivalent on Kyouko's death, but that's just me.

>>7198951
You are trying a bit too hard, though. You've deviated off the main point and I don't see how an argument like that could sway anyone's opinion.
Unless you're trolling but I can't be bothered to check if copypasta.

Delicious double Saten.

Anyone from /jp/ who does not like this, is not legitimately from /jp/ but probably one of the hipster poseurs who wanted to find some footing to represent themselves on 4chan with besides /a/ (albeit that's understandable because /a/ is garbage these days).

Disregard them.

>>7198739
Sluts always do

Madoka going ahead airing has little to do with anyone's balls, unless you mean the balls of the station that was supposed to air it, that has exclusive first broadcast rights, but refuses to air the last two.

I suppose we'll see how it concludes in six months. After waiting that long, anything will be a disappointment.

07 ghost

Tsukihime, Higurashi, Fate/stay night, Umineko.

Mentioning azumanga and creaming yourself over nichijou only proves you're still into entry level babby anime. Azumanga was decent but it's not note worthy at all on the extremely long list of hilarious anime out there. In the view of people who have seen a lot of anime you're in the same league as eva/garrenfagon fans. Well, I'm sure those are two of your favorite animes also.

I downloaded nichijou and it's the only anime that's aired this season I haven't bothered to watch subbed or raw.

I see the people who are vocal against K-ON as people who are just being hipsters, distancing themselves from /a/ as much as possible. But that's just me.

>>7198982
Stupid earthquakes.

>>7198991
>I hate fun things, furthermore my opinions are shit.

I don't find Nichijou very funny either, it seems to base its humor off being "random," which should make /jp/ cringe. It can't compete with the likes of Minami-ke, or Ichigo Mashimaro, or the more recent Mitsudomoe.

>>7198974
I'm more of just trying to caution those unaware, that Madoka may have originally had a really great, powerful ending, but that it may have already been preemptively retconned due to public baww'ing over the GRIMDARK. Pic related is Japanese public watching Madoka.

I suspect it's easily possible that the ending was something crazy, like they would all kill themselves to rid the world of the dangers of puella magi and this disturbs QB enough to just leave, or something else tragic. This delay in airing the end (conveniently blamed on the tsunami) could easily in reality be SHAFT buying time to reposture their end here, so that they can have something that's more TV friendly to save their skins, but watered down in significance.

Japanese are so ingrained to root for happy, cheery, but thoughtless mahou shoujo, that they got seriously disturbed at something actually different. That may be symptomatic of their entire culture though being so rooted in conserving whatever they think "works" though, in this case the mahou shoujo formula.

No mention of Kitaro?

The lot of you should be hung.

>>7199001
Couldn't help but notice there all the shows you're listing are all shit with little girls. Now are really talking about comedy, or are you talking about how hard the characters make you?

Probably couldn't watch a comedy centered around a male cast, like Cromartie.

>>7198991
You seem like a pretentious cunt from /a/ who has well-developed "tastes" in anime. We watch what we like here. You probably still bitch and moan about "moe." /a/ still does that, right?

>>7198991

Azumanga is mentioned because it's really similar in feel to Nichijou. Have you not fucking seen it? It feels eerily like a cross between Azumanga and PPD, that is why people are immediately jumping to comparing Nichi to these.

If you haven't seen it yet, then don't speak on the subject until you have, because you literally do not know what you're talking about and are making assumptions.

>>7198991
>hilarious
>anime
Pick one.
Oh wait you're just fucking around aren't you

>>7199002
You honestly believe that?
Not that I know anything, but I'd be willing to bet that Shaft would sooner not air it at all and release on dvd/bd rather than going through the process of making two episodes from scratch.

>>7198991
Start listing.

>>7199013
Not really. I'm sure I've seen more moe anime than you have too. Azumanga has been talked about so much recently like it's the most funny anime ever it's stupid. There's a long list of other anime which are better/more funny so why are all the kids jumping on azumanga? Obviously because they're still into entry level shit. Anime critics who've viewed 30 anime are laughable.

>>7199018

They may not redo the episodes from scratch but simply be drawing a few new scenes, changing/deleting some other scenes/dialogue, and recording some new dialogue.

It could also be that SHAFT is taking the opportunity to now milk the ending, in order to build up suspense and to keep the public talking about the show for far longer than they would have been if they got to roll out the end as planned. Which would actually be pretty ingenious marketing.

Lastly the most obvious possibility is that the broadcasters shit themselves from complaints or something and are cockblocking an otherwise-ready SHAFT.

>>7199034
>I'm sure I've seen more moe anime than you have too
Ok, so this is a competition about who has seen more anime now? Yeah, go back to /a/ where you and all of your underage buddies can argue about Eva and K-On.

>>7198962
This reminds me of that doujin cover with Saten and Uiharu on it. I wonder if we will see her in such a doujinshi eventually.

>>7199034
So are anime critics that have viewed 100. You should need to view 500 (all individual franchises) before anyone can seriously seek out your opinion on the matters of anime quality. People can only know things by their opposites, so excuses the low-level casuals use like "but there are only 50 good anime" don't fly.

>>7199034

What do you mean "recently"? Azumanga's been on Cowboy Bebop status as an accepted/approved entry level anime on /a/ ,for I'd say at least 5 years now. Unless you'd call that recent.

It just so happens that Nichijou feels a lot like Azumanga and so that show, which otherwise lies dead and undiscussed, is getting brushed off again because people want to do some comparisons. And even so they're hardly bringing up the subject, there are no big Azumanga vs Nichijou threads in sight, it's just a casual observation, irrelevant to Nichijou for the most part.

>>7198991
According to my list, I have seen 457 series so far (5072 episodes total). Not counting series dropped halfway. And yet Azumanga Daioh remains one of my all times favorites. How many more do I still need to watch until I'm not into "entry level babby anime" anymore ?

>>7199056
You are already there, and just a handful more and you're at a professional level.

>>7199016
What's hilarious then? Visual novels and touhou? Fuck off.

>>7199045
You seem to have a low level of reading comprehension too. I insulted eva in the same post you replied too... Did I mention how many series I've watched? No. I only mentioned I'm not in the kiddies league where people complain about moe anime.

>It could also be that SHAFT is taking the opportunity to now milk the ending, in order to build up suspense and to keep the public talking about the show for far longer than they would have been if they got to roll out the end as planned. Which would actually be pretty ingenious marketing.
It's actually working against SHAFT right now. For a while Madoka was selling like hotcakes every week and was close to being one of the top selling anime of all time but this week IS outsold it. (not in overall sales but weekly sales)

This is a pretty fucking useless discussion, anyone on /jp/ worth their salt is far more experienced with anime than 99% of /a/ users, it's part of the natural progression of this core set of hobbies.

This is not even up for debate so you can choose to either have some attempt at productive discussion or just furiously shitpost each other for no reason other than you're both attacking each others' credibility, which is much more of an /a/ level discussion.

Like how all scientific researchers are just plain expected to be doctorates, and it's the undergrad kiddies arguing about and comparing grades and career paths etc, you are expected to know this shit like the back of your hand if you're a legit poster here, and so it's a moot point bringing it up.

>>7199070
Some of you people never give an anime a good chance; dropping it in the first couple of episodes, or the first one, or minutes into the first one, or maybe even from a screenshot someone posted or a trailer. It's like you have ADHD.

I rarely drop anything once I pick it up, and find that most anime will be able to produce something that makes watching them worthwhile at some point, even if it isn't immediately.

>>7199079
>anyone on /jp/ worth their salt is far more experienced with anime than 99% of /a/ users

You seem illiterate.

This is pointless to continue. People citing azumanga as their favorite anime? Throwing out cowboy bebop as a "classic". It's like I'm in an /a/ thread. All we need is some gurren lagann.

>>7199056
The episode to series ratio seems off. You either watched a lot of OVA or don't watch 52+ episodes anime. I can already guess the response though. There is no point is taking it further, favorite anime azumanga? It's entering the realm of talking with a normal about their taste.

>>7199137
It is pretty far off. Watching so many OVAs is cheating really, even if you assume every show he watched was 1 cour it still doesn't explain the ratio. And 2 cour anime is not uncommon, though I will agree that anime that go beyond that are bad ones 90% of the time.

Haha. Well, how about YOU tell us your favorite animes, then ? Oh, let me guess, probably either :
- Lain/Texhnolyze/anything that was deemed as TRULY DEEP by an elite highly versed into psychology/philosophy (even though they're just fricking animes).
- LOGH
- Random pre-1995 series, because, really, everything after that is automatically utter shit.

>>7198991
Totally right. I hate when people like to say that Azumanga is so funny when there are much funnier shows out there like Lucky Star and Hetalia.

>>7199217
Tatami Galaxy

How about Paranoia Agent and Monster? I liked those.

[ ] good
[ ] anime

>>7199217
I agree, it's just impossible for an anime to touch on advanced subjects with any depth. If people want that, they should stop downloading their pirated anime, get off the internet already, head to the library and read a damn book. What next, DEEP video games?

>>7199233
They are great.

What about Ghost Hound? I liked it.

>>7199238
Good anime.

>>7199242
But you can have something that's comparably deep for an anime, you can't ignore that.
I do agree with you though, books are awesome.

HYPOCRISY / GENERAL

>>7199228
Oh my, one of the most pretentious series ever ? What a coincidence !
I liked it though, but it's still pseudo-elitist as fuck just like I imagined your answer would be.
At first I felt guilty putting you immediately in a douchebag, now not so much.

Only normalfags still watch anime.

>>7199217
Nope. You're so wrong it's painful nearly. If you start tossing out your "favorite" anime, then you've already lost and proved you're in the kiddies league. If you actually watch a lot of anime, and I mean a lot then they start to blur together and you just "ENJOY" them. Only anime critics with 100 under their belt argue about their favorite.

The only thing I'll comment on decent/above average entry level anime which kiddies proclaim are the best. Get some taste and you'll realize that crap animed 10 years ago and was good, but not amazing and you've got shit taste if it's your "favorite". Also, if you're that 5k episode 457 series guy, then you're about 3-4k episodes short if you actually watched *series* and didn't just tack on 250 movies/ova/hentai series.

>>7199275
Pseudo elitist. Pseudo. Elitist.

They're what, faking that they're elitist? I think you mean pseudo intellectual. And they can be elitist while thinking they're intelligent, but faking the elitism itself? That's a new one.

>>7199275
That guy wasn't me by the way. I downloaded that series but the dialogue was too fast for me to understand raw so I haven't watched it yet.

>>7199288
More like naming some of the anime you consider your favorite brings your taste up for criticism, whereas you are content to impenetrable tower of obscurity which is so convenient for the purpose of this discussion.

>>7199312

Anime is normalfag shit, meant for ADD kids that don't have the patience or intelligence to sit back and enjoy the superior VN adaptation.

The amount of autism in this thread is staggering.
Or that's some quality trolling, it's hard to tell with /jp/.
I agree that Azumanga isn't very good, though.
Also, since when does saying "my favorite anime is x" equal saying "x is the greatest anime I've ever seen"?

>>7199360
that was a good manga....until she stopped being a loli that is.

>>7199376
Agreed.

>>7199275
Tatami Galaxy isn't pretentious at all, though.
It's a rather simple and straightforward story, it doesn't even pretend to be deep or anything.
I dunno, it might seem pretentious if the only thing you're comparing it to are random harem anime of the season, but in itself it really, really isn't.
I thought that only people who spout this "pretentious" nonsense at it are those who only take a look at the art style and don't even watch the show, but if you've seen it and are still saying that, I really start to doubt your comprehension skills.
