The New Release Club's General discussion

Woo, first impressions so far...

Charlotte - Pointless episode, MC is based, surprise Mai Nakahara which was nice c:
Futabu! Mix: Futanari World - It's ruined...
Gatchaman Crowds Insight - Feels edgy to me kind of, still good nonetheless
Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 - OP is good, ED is decent, Miss Monochrome still kawaii as fuck
Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace - Alright first episode, but will still be wary cause Seiji Kishi
Senki Zesshou Symphogear GX: Believe in Justice and Hold a Determination to Fist. - I legit came so hard at this, I missed this so much, first episode was hype as fuck
Ushio to Tora (TV) - Good first episode, MC is fine, I like Tora
Wakaba*Girl - As cute as Kiniro Mosaic c:
Wakako-zake - I'm only watching this cause Miyuki Sawashiro is in the cast

 

crunchyroll said they would only stream the show uncensored a little while after the broadcast for the premium members http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtop...tles-my-wife-is-the-student-council-president

 

Now here's my opinion about another 3 anime that aired:

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime: Fantasy? Romance? Shoujo? It was a pretty entertaining first episode, wonder how it will go later on
Joukamachi no Dandelion: Now that was a good laugh, this one's sure to be worth the while
Non Non Biyori Repeat: Something relaxing, I really missed this show, good to see it back in action

As for To Love-Ru Darkness 2nd, not watching until BD's come out, dam I hate censorships on every corner of it

 

Saw chaos dragon....... let me just say it shows that this was made by like 5 different guys and not completely in a good way. The tone felt a bit all over the place and the end even has a freaking death counter with his friends on it and the preview for the next episode says on will die. Which kinda annoys me because why bother having characters die if you're basically taking away any surprise or emotion from it? It feels extremely pointless and just makes the tone this show is going for even more confusing.

On the bright side the show seems to have a rather vibrant world in a way with a lot of interesting looking characters which is the good part of having 5 veterans working together. But while the first episode wasn't horrible and the show still have a chance to turn out well it doesn't look very promising.

 

I know that feel girl, I know that feel, worst part is that there's gonna be more of it, I can't tolerate that kind of animation

 

Ya'll've been talkin bout some of the anime I plan to watch, I really need to get to seeing what all I will be watching...

I still haven't started "season 2" (although I did take a looksy at both eps) however, like Natsu said, I know how ya feel too. Eroge! H mo Game mo Kaihatsu Zanmai was perfect where it ended at ep 2... SADLY, they decided to cash in on it and include 3 more eps which featured stuff that supposedly happened DURING their dev of the game... some of which might I add, contradicted the 1st 2 eps... not to mention it just wasn't as great...

... ya know, I never thought I'd see the day when I would be talking about a hentai with someone, more so people I know. lol I also realize I could only do this through text, never with actual words. lol

 

I feel like it was made on Powerpoint.

 

Seriously, there is another Futabu hentai? Didn't call that.

Downloaded Gangsta, Monster Musume (because I'm stupid), Chaos Dragon and while it's not new, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Might try to watch them today. Not sure yet though. Trying to get back into watching anime, but I get the feeling if I watch one really, really bad show it's going to ruin my anime watching mood.

 

Hey Monster Musume is actually pretty good. Sure it doesn't break any new mold or anything besides the whole monster girl thing but it has enough going for it to be a good series and it's characters are interesting enough to help carry it. I haven't seen the first episode of the anime yet but assuming they adapt it probably it should be pretty good.

 

Yeah, I read quite a bit of the manga and thought that it was a fun read but I don't tend to like ecchi anime. I don't mind ecchi manga for some reason. I did watch it and it was okay. was a lot like the first 2 chapters of the manga.

 

More first impressions:

Chaos Dragon: I dropped this 2 minutes in, take that for what it's worth
Bikini Warriors: Boobs/10 and slutty seiyuus
Teekyuu 5: Still as awesome as ever, that OP seems very bollywood influenced
Non Non S2: Confusing first episode, though it was pretty cute
MonMusu: This was a pretty good first episode, it stuck well to the manga minus 1 bit which I don't remember happening in the manga. Also thank you Yuu Kobayashi for being Ms. Smith, you do things to me.

 

First thoughts on some of the crap I downloaded.


Aoharu x Kikanjuu: It was all right. Thought it was a yaoi at first TBH. Also one of the characters looks like the Persona 5 protag.

Bikini Warriors: Only watched it because of the name. Thankfully it was only 4 to 5 minutes long. Also the logo was made the same way that the Dragon Quest logo is.

Chaos Dragon: I think the last anime I saw that I disliked this much and could pridict what was going to happen from beginning to end was Black Bullet. This anime was all over the damn place and just could not pick a tone and stick with it. I thought it got better right in the last three minutes, so I might give it the three episode watch.

Charlotte: I take back what I said about Chaos Dragon. Jesus Christ, that was the worst. I hated every single second of it, and it figures that it's by Key, so I guess, again, I'm the insane one for hating it. I can pridict what's going to happen by the end of the series. The MC's sister is going to die, they are all going to lose they're powers and then it'll be sad and everyone will eat it up. I mean, that's why Angel Beats was so popular, right? I mean who needs likable characters and a good plot when you've got feeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllzzzzzzz!

Gangsta: Well that was cool. Couldn't really think of anything about it that I disliked. Then again, I had just watched Charlotte before, so litterally anything would have been better. It was really cool, I liked the characters and the animation was nice.

 

Interesting how EVERYONE has pretty much the same reaction to Chaos dragon. I've peaked at the comments on two different sites and everyone feels the tone was all over the place. The part I hated the most was again the arbitrary death of the girl. Like we barely know this girl and not only do you kill you you make it pretty clear she's not the only one so get used to it. The action was pretty dull too now that I think about it. Like after he makes the deal he's all glowing and looks kinda cool but he just clumsily swings his sword a few times and then uses a bit fire attack which they don't even show all of because they cut the scene to people seeing the overly large fire attack from all across town.

As for Charlotte I was thinking about maybe checking this out but from what you've said it's not for me. I don't really like shows that have feelz just for the sake of feelz. If they happen as a natural progression of the story then fine but if the characters and "story" only exist to get to the feelz or if they are forced into the story then I generally dislike them.

I'm still considering Gangsta. Would you compare it at all to black lagoon? It looks like it might be kinda similar and while it was a bit darker than what I normally watched I actually liked Black Lagoon so if this is similar I might check it out.

 

Finished the first episode of Gakkou Gurashi. Most of the episode deferentially had a SoL feel to it, even the OP, however there were a few, I assume intentional, disconnects. The Stephen King book, a random blockade in the hallway, a cross in the rooftop garden, and the sounds the "PE class" was making. Not to mention the way Mii-kun responded to rooms that supposedly had classes. If the hints weren't enough, the ending sure made it clear how things really are. I think I'm going to like this series.

 

I doubt it. They seem to be doing the whole sacrifice thing rather sloppily. I get this is just based on something made up by 5 different guys with different styles but they could have tried harder when making it an anime to smooth out the tone and story. As it is it feels too messy.

Yeah I love stupid anime like this. They are dumb but in a fun way that just keep you smiling from beginning to end.

It's a little different from stuck in a game though. First of all the moment he gets stuck everything starts to act like it's real and he doesn't seem connected at all to his original body. Second he barely gives getting back a second though and even Log Horizon at least gave going home a thought a few times. So it's more like a "person gets sent to a fantasy world" but his body and surroundings are mysteriously molded after the game. But the HUD and other game things have already vanished so it's different from most anime with a premise that starts with a game like this.

 

I've never seen Black Lagoon so I wouldn't know. I do think it's great though.

Nuhuhuhuhuhu



See, I told u Funi would dub more summer airing anime. Guess I'll wait for the dub of Gangsta then. I wonder what else they'll dub?

 

Well with that I think I'll hold off on gangsta at least until it's dubbed. But I wish Dragon Ball Super was on that list.

 

Gakkou Gurashi: Holy shit, it was actually pretty good, even though they switched many things around from the manga.
