    The pig? Yes. The pig getting eaten? No. That was one part of what i didn't like about it. I know it happens, but that part of the animal world disgusts me. Not vegetarian or something (i love meat), but i don't like most of the stuff what happens there. For example those chickens they showed in episode 1.

    Don't jump the gun there Bato, Porkbowl hasn't been eaten, well yet. I didn't remember if he appeared in ep 1 thats why I was asking because Hachiken has concerns over whether or not he'd be okay with letting him be kille. This thought plays over in his mind and becomes a main point of his character, an internal conflict over whether or not he'd be okay with letting something he's kind of raised die. Of course he's grown attached to it so that just makes it that much harder of a decision.
    While slaughtering animals for consumption is a sort of grey area for some it is a cruel fact of life and the way of nature. The process is meant to be as humane as possible but there are times that is not so. That scene from episode 1 believe it or not was humane as it was quickly instigated, the pain felt would of been minimal.

    And thats why this show is unique, I've not seen any other agriculture series so regardless of how it is played out that is already a positive, but the internal conflict I think is well done despite not being the absolute main focus.

    And that's what i was hoping it would be. More focussed on the animal part. Episode 1 was really promising with him trying to find his way around that school and where he belonged.

    I didn't mean the chicken being slaughtered, that was the most humane way. I mean the chickens who live in a barn or whatever and don't even have 1 cm to move around. That's inhumane. Killing animals is the way of nature. Animals kill animals, humans killed animals way back before civilization. But atleast let them have a decent life before they get killed, you know. This day we should easily be able to do so. Well i'm going way off topic now. But what i meant to say is, i'm not a huge fan of those slaughterhouses and that's what that school does too. I've seen it in real life myself with pigs, and it aint pretty.

    There is enough of a focus on the animals to still remind you that it is about agriculture but essentially it is another slice of life high school show just with a very different setting. But just because it isn't jammed down your throat doesn't make it a bad thing, it allows for extra parts to be added such as trying to sneak out or arranging a pizza party. Although I'd say it has a more mature sense of humour similar to how Uchuu Kyoudai's humour isn't for everyone.

    Ah the conditions of these fated animals is what you detest, yeah but that dos happen for reasons that seem logical for production. And I'm not going to lie but Gin no Saji does at least reference them at times I'd think, including the small pens the pigs are kept in.

    About the newest episode, the only way to sum it up would be the final word of it, "bittersweet"

    Oh and Kitakubu, more breaking the 4th wall I love it when that is done. Daily school life of girls might of been done to death but this one seems to be different just because thy destroy that 4th wall so frequently and reference other pop culture.

    ''but essentially it is another slice of life high school show''

    Explains exactly why i don't like it. The fact that they did show those chickens being kept with very small room to move around, and the pigs in very small areas, isn't something bad. It's actually good to put in such a show so they can show people what it's like. It's the harsh reality, and i like when that's in an anime. Just like in Space Brothers how Mutta actually had trouble finding a job.

    But it's just, i don't like that highschool setting and seeing people live their daily lives. I first started watching because it got compared to Space Brothers for the maturity of the show, but Space Brothers is alot more mature and in Space Brothers they show people living their life, going for a special kind of job. Bakuman had that aswell. I know i would never be able to become an astronaut or a manga artist. And they interest me so much because i can find out what happens in that world. After i watched Bakuman for example, i have gotten lots more respect for manga artists, because i know what they have went through and how difficult it is to make a manga, keep it running, keep people interested, and it's extremely hard to get an anime. Space Brothers let's you take a realistic look into space and how difficult it is to become an astronaut. But Gin no Saji doesn't have that special something imo. It's just teenagers going to school. A different school, but still a school. The slice of life parts are just rly boring to me, and i couldn't really make a connection with any of the characters, which didn't make me enjoy that pizza party.

    Know what makes it worse? The piece of crap is only 15 minutes. They couldn't even be bothered to make full length episodes. On the bright side I read the comments and...... the Heroine isn't a door mat like the girl in Amnesia (again not the horror game) was.

    Maybe. If the comments are true then at the very least you won't want to kill the Heroine for being so damn useless. I don't know if she is entertaining though. I'll wait until reviews on MAL pop up and see what they say. I gave Amnesia a chance and regretted it. This time I'm not going to even waste my time unless I hear it's actually good. After all there are plenty of other anime I am interested in seeing so I don't have time to waste on another Amnesia.

    Diabolik Lovers,Not gonna watch this bs.

    Exactly what I thought upon reading its bio, a reverse harem kind of situation situation in which there are "vampires", where did I see something this bad before *cough*vampire knight*cough*. Yeah no thanks there are many other shows I am going to start this season instead.

    You know I actually find comparing it to Amnesia kind of confusing because I didn't hate that, in fact I actually liked it enough to rate it a 7 according to MAL. Yes the heroine was a completely hopeless lost cause of a character but it didn't make me want to kill her more of just slap some sense into her. I think it had to do with essentially crossing world lines and that it wasn't a traditional romance that made it not too bad of a watch. But regardless of how much better the diabolik lovers protagonist is I wont be giving it a chance, even Teekyuu 3 will be better than this show for me.

    Tru dat, at the end I wish he would have just killed dat bitch for being so stupid. Amnesia or not when someone tells you not to find them, DONT FUCKING GO LOOKING FOR THEM OR LEAVE THE HOUSE KNOWING YOURE LIKELY TO DIE.

    I watched the first episode completely of Diabolik Lovers. I'm not into this stuff AT ALL, so people who are shouldn't judge on my opinion, but my honest opinion is that the girl isn't annoying, isn't a doormat like you guys refer to the Amnesia girl, she is actually kinda cool. But the fact that she is being chased a whole episode by 6 vampire guys, 1 or 2 of them trying to actually rape her and the other 4 are just being idiots who are trying to trap her for their friends to rape her. Other than that, the guys act way too badass for such an anime and situation. Like they are Sasuke or something..

    Actually, the only thing that kept me watching was the girl. The rest was just way too ridiculous. Not even mentioning the hair styles of those guys.......

    Been doing some catching up lately. I seem to begin falling behind about midseason then end up catching up a week or two before the new season begins. It's a trend I've been noticing for the past two seasons.

    Finished Blood Lad. It was a little more interesting than I originally expected. It wasn't amazing or anything but it was a good watch. My previous critique still stands on the show, nothing about that much has changed. And I'm glad they left it open for a second season. But only 10 episodes? Come on, they couldn't have given us a full 12?

    Caught up on Mushibugyou. I lost hope of there being detailed plot. I don't know why I expected that much out of it anyways. It holds up pretty nicely other than that. The action is good and I do like the fighting scenes.

    I noticed the same thing with my habits, again with the previous 2 seasons, no previous 3 seasons.

    I heard bc the manga was only barely ahead of where it left off.

    I been lovin it like mclovin

    DxD and Shingeki have been excellent
    Dog and Scissors was something else. Crazy doesnt begin to describe it.
    Servant x Service was a laugh out loud Slice of Life anime
    Neptunia was good but TheRose said the way they left it doesnt leave it open to go any further than the current 12
    DR, I leave my impressions in the disc thread but DanganRonpa was really good, if I think, just like DS2, was too short to really get to know the chars.
    Railgun is electrifyingly awesome. Need a Railgun movie now.

    Okay I have 2 points of discussion that I would like to know everyones opinion about, the first is a series and the second is a new thread idea put forward by Meta [sorry I know its been a week since I said "later today"]

    So looking through anime news the other day and I come across the news of High Kyuu to be animated http://myanimelist.net/manga/35243/ after reading the initial blurb of it being a vollyball manga I immediately thought it'd be a couple of F cup bimbo's jumping around on a beach somewhere [this seasons wrestling one was influencing me to think like this]. Needless to say I almost didn't click to continue reading, however I was surprised to see that it is actually males playing volleyball with these tags associated with it Comedy, Drama, School,Shounen, Sports. Is anyone interested in watching this or would you of preferred the bimbo's  [Keiichi I'm looking at you here]. Despite not liking the sport I am interested in this, I've not even heard of a volleyball anime before so regardless it has a somewhat unique premise, and the fact that it wont be fanservice is even better as there has been too many attempts to please the viewers with this recently.



    Now Meta's idea, I wanted input from everyone. What are your thoughts about a seasonal review thread where you post your reviews or comments [both positive and negative] about the series you've watched from that season? This is already done to some extent in this thread [see Keiichi's last post] but having an extra thread would allow for more detail to be given. Negatives of this idea is that it will be inactive all throughout the season until the end, and it could kill off some conversation in this thread of the same content. Positive of this idea is that it would be easier to find relevant info about the shows from that season without the need to hunt through 3 months worth of posts in this thread.
    Do you think it is a good idea and should be created or do you think it is not needed? Presumably everyone would be using it at one point in time so everyone gets a say, this is to see if there is a demand for this idea.

    Well seeing as how it is my idea obviously I'm for it. But just to let everyone know my reasoning behind this idea.

    None (or very few) of us have the free time to watch everything or even half of what a season has to offer. Obviously you can pick out at least a few that obviously aren't your thing. But there will also be some that might be interesting that you just didn't have time for and then you have to decide whether to pick through the left overs for a hopeful hidden gem or just dive into the new season. Another thing that might happen is you see one that is deceptively good. Well with a seasonal end review thread you can look for reviews for possible hidden gems or post your own reviews informing other people about a season's hidden gems. Sure you could try going on MAL but with this thread you can see the opinions of people who actually know. Instead of some random guy who might like anything you know what kinda series this guy likes and whether you'd agree with his view on a series. You can also simply share your thoughts on any other anime that you want.

    After all this is the new Release club yet we only discuss maybe 2 or 3 of the new releases. We should have a proper thread to allow people to easily cover anything else from the season that they want.

    We could also put a rating next to the review and make a top 10 list of that seasons animes made by Dubtopian Review that way.
    I'm up for it.

    About the volleyball anime, i don't think it's a secret anymore that i like sports animes and this one looks really promising. I've seen it before that it might get an anime, so i'm excited for it. Is it official that it will get one?

    It looks like it will be in the same category as Kuroko no Basket, Area no Kishi, Hajime no Ippo and hopefully this seasons Diamond no Ace.

    I'm not into volleyball either, but i wasn't into basketball when i started Kuroko and not into boxing yet i love Ippo.

    Yeah we could include a #/10 in the basic format for posts.

    I'm leaning more towards being against it. We already have a thread where we rate the last anime we have watched, its in the general anime section and the people who are willing to write small to larger reviews when they complete something from the season are already doing it there. I realize this is geared towards seasonal watching where the already existing thread is for any anime you've finished. But I feel this is another case of a club taking discussions that could be easily done in public and bringing them into the shadows. People who might not be in the club get a chance to see the reviews in public and express potential interest at a later point. I feel the thread would only split up discussions even more than the clubs are already doing. Either way, if this is something you decide on doing I'll simply copy and paste my reviews into both threads so a wider audience can read them.
