The New Release Club's General discussion

I don't drop anything anymore, so if I gave them 3 eps I'd have to finish them. Or at the very least I haven't dropped anything permanently in years. Eh a good op, not by a band I'm interested in so no thanks. Can't even find it on youtube so thanks copyright.
Maid Abs is great, hmmm. I may need to ask BK for his thoughts on this one @BK-201.
Oh and Higurashi's op was great in general, not just for one stupid reason like symbolism.

How did this series go under everyone's radar? No one was excited for this but it has turned itself into something much more intriguing than we imagined. Much better than a bland survival story, and more interesting than just another idol show. They are all real Legends, but Tae most definitely is.
Got to love the cop too.

 

Loving Zombieland Saga. Nice to see an idol series with a twist... was not excepting that epic rap battle.

 

I knew you would.

Tae has a VA, didn't know she had one listed yet. You had me worried she woke up this episode. I don't want that yet. Although I will agree it wasn't as good as the others, but I'm just clearly a sucker for idol shit now, I enjoyed that performance. The terrible CG a lot of people mention I don't mind so I enjoyed the whole thing.
Also Miyano Mamoru's and Hiroyuko Yoshino's characters never fail to make me smile. I still love the answer to how they became zombies "haven't you ever seen a zombie movie?"

Figures you wouldn't like the zombies. No idols compare to µ's for you.
Definitely I agree with your Goblin Slayer Disjointed argument. That mage just pissed me off, I hope she just stays in the background from now on. But GS' manner of speaking is so damn annoying too. Like the healer said, you can't call that a discussion.... Way too dull of a character. I do appreciate that he isn't a screaming idiot after a bad experience but to be this completely withdrawn into that armour. Speaking of armour, that sake drinking scene....
The gore while not shown is still impactful, just not as fun as say Corpse Party. Not exactly what I had in mind when I heard about this show. Still is true to its name so it has that going for it.

 

I think the bad CGI was deliberate and a parody of idol series use of them in performance sequences particularly Love Live.

 

After the first 2 episodes I was totally hooked expecting more awesomeness but 3 was a big let down for me. I knew it would be difficult to maintain what 1 and 2 did for 12 episodes but not by the 3rd episode.

Maid abs is quite enjoyable, normally I might chuckle while watching this type of series but I've been properly laughing at this one.

 

After having just finished Houseki no Kuni, you'd think bad CG would be a big issue for me. But nope, loved every bit of that idol performance. I'm definitely just an idol fan now. That little girl dancing along was great.

I was hoping it'd be a different theme every week like others I saw commenting who seemed pretty certain. But after getting their unit name I'm not sure if I can remain hopeful.

I didn't think anything of it really. I thought it was cool that this series was going to be darker than your average shounen. And it served its purpose in storytelling, showing why these creatures are horrible rather than telling us they are bad.
I'm more disappointed in how it seems the characters aren't going to change much. Also at the poor naming choices behind ALL the characters who are literally just called what they are.

Actually, courtesy of BK I've been convinced to start Maid Abs. I just haven't gotten there yet. I was going to start today but.... things came up and I didn't even finish what I still had left.
Bloom into You, eh I'll wait to see how others react.

 

You've certainly got your work cut out for you. Go on, before everyone forgets about this show.

I had to see the news for Kaguya Sama before knowing which one you meant. I'm not convinced it is any good. I need a PV. And Go Tobun is just another harem isn't it? I'm fairly certain I read the one shot of it, it was okay at best so....
Shouldn't we be more disappointed at how few things look interesting for next season? Until more is confirmed for next season, it looks like currently I'll be watching 4 new releases. Will I finally get more time for other anime next season?

 

This does sound appealing, and I do kind of owe it to you after actually giving a good recommendation for Happy Sugar Life. But I don't see myself getting around to it. Is it still a good watch or is it starting to tank?

I wonder why you'd want Nakahara to voice her? Good on a nobody taking a main role that way. She might surprise you. Still don't think I'll be watching that one unless a good trailer comes out.


Although this season I have now started, and caught up with Bunny Girl Senpai and oh my. This show is too entertaining. I love the interactions between the cast, it is all just so believable and quirky. I'm enjoying every moment of this weird show. Why was this not on my list from the beginning? Who else is watching it?

 

Better than those two combined. Helps that my opinion of them are exceedingly low. I love the chemistry between the characters, they feel real with some of that bickering.

Is slime actually good? I find it kind of hard to believe but everyone's opinion seems to be positive. Is this what you think too? I may have to start it. And yet Maddy still can't convince me to get into Bloom Into You.

You'll drop a show with Nakahara as a supporting character? Are you feeling alright? Here I thought you salivated at any chance to hear her sexy voice.

You kind of have a point, but it is a fake harem. Choice has already been made but like Monogatari all the girls are important and always present.

 

You thought wrong. You've not been successful enough in making me want to watch it.

Absolutely no idea what you're talking about here. A remake gained controversy with your VA and you didn't make a big deal out of it?

Same goes for Bunny Girl. Only one real option. As far as I'm aware that is, could change. You can stick with your lesbians if this fake harem doesn't sound appealing.


In other news @Mafiacow was successful in getting me to watch Slime life. And so I caught up in 2 days..... It was a very easy watch so I must have enjoyed it. Nothing captivating like Bunny Girl Senpai but I apprecaited the effort it put into setting up the world. Although those skills are complete bullshit level hacks.
