Cautiously optimistic for Youjo Senki, hope she's as evil as the title suggests. ACCA also sounds cool.
Thought Fuuka looked good, but then I remembered what I've been spoiled about the manga, so I'm not quite so hot on that anymore.
I hope this seasons cute girls cycling show is at the very least better than Long Riders.
Seeing Akiba's Trip get an anime just makes me feel bad since I brought the game ages ago yet still havent played it.

Kemono Friends looks like pick of the season; the rest look to be either bland yuribait that will develop into nothing, sequels to things that have a fanbase already and you should have started watching a while back to get ready for if you wanted to get into, and super Japanese culture things about traditional culture and history. I hope Granblue stays as far away from the story of the game as possible, it's hot garbage.

It goes on like this for a while with the main focus being on whether the MC will actually be able to go through with it, then after a while out of nowhere they bring in a foreign ojou type girl who barges into the story and it turns into a shitty love triangle and loses all focus.

>>18148I don't usually bother watching trailers or even reading synopses. That said the industry must really be trying to stretch things out. The tittle literally is saying "'s Dragon Maid." So a story has been made where the whole point of the story is going to be about a maid that is a dragon. Everything (presumably) is going to be around this small quirk. And if you think about it there is plenty of series made in exactly the same way. And this is one of those cases in which they can even tell you everything you need to know about this anime's quirk from its title.

The sequence of events happening was changed, original characters are in the anime (Futaba is one), much of the dialogue was changed, and it added several new scenes, like Aki's entire charisma break in the shed. It's a pretty loose adaptation.
Unfortunately they haven't made it loose enough, since that ojou girl is in the OP, and it'll still go down that terrible road. Plus they totally fucked up the legs. No reason to watch any more of this.

>the nekoI'm not sure what you mean with "terrible road". It's clear from the start that Master is the culprit, and that they will somehow clear out that misunderstanding. It's not an endless comedy of awful human beings, it progresses some kind of plot too. The neko serves the plot more than anything else. So yeah, from the start it was clear that eventually we'd have characters like the fatty and the neko. If there's anything surprising, it's that the author makes a conscious effort to present them as not scum. Which… yeah, when I put it like this, I understand what you mean by "terrible road".
No.18192
>>18191>Yeah, they introduce her slightly later in the manga, whatever. Not sure what you mean by saying she's anime original, this is obviously incorrect. Fair enough, I'd completely forgotten about her and she doesn't appear in the first chapter at all, so I assumed she was anime original.
>the first rejection shown in the anime actually happens later onI thought I remembered that, but I wasn't sure when it happened in the manga.
An obvious change is that in the manga the MC gets the letter at the end delivered to his home, whereas in the anime he finds it in his shoebox. Just go read the first chapter and you can see how much they changed the small things. Hell, it irked me right away with the texting guy at the start because in the manga he's visible in the panel before he's called out, whereas in the anime you don't see him until afterwards.
I didn't get far enough for the fatty to be introduced, I dropped it after several chapters of dicking around with the ojou girl, as it felt like nothing more than the author introducing a new love interest to pad out the story and avoiding resolving it. She didn't feel even remotely relevant to anything going on or as though she had any purpose to serve in the plot. That may have changed, but the underlying sense of padding things out with new characters won't.
No.18194
The only ones I'm really looking forward to are Chaos;Child and of course Konosuba, but I've somehow managed to stay mostly unspoiled for Chaos;Child and I'm not sure I want the story in what will likely be its worst form. Then again, I could end up waiting forever like with Robotics;Notes.
Steins;Gate 0 was alright, but it mostly just left me wanting a lot more Sci;Adv.
No.18196
>>18192Fair enough. I did go through the first chapter again, and… I'd still say other studios (cough, Shaft, cough) manage to make this first episode LOOK like a frame-by-frame adaptation.
Catty is there mainly to prod the main characters to actually do something about the relationship with talking common sense like "revenge isn't a good idea", so I wouldn't accuse her of being just padding of the story. I would accuse her of being a bad character, though. Especially her introduction was indeed annoying. But yeah, it's showing that the next character to be introduced was a "love interest" for the girl instead of for the boy. And Catty gets a subplot with the trap vying for her.
That being said, the manga is on the level of where you should be able to enjoy it … if you put some work into it. It doesn't really have much of a value, so if you've dropped it once, I don't see a reason to give it another chance. Seems like the anime won't deviate too much, and the execution won't be anything above average, so it'll again be on the same level as the manga.
No.18199
>>18198>Schoolgirl StrikersIf it didn't have HanaKana, Sawashiro and so on, I would have dropped it by the middle of the episode. But even listening to them doesn't really manage to cure the boredom.

And the episode as a whole wasn't just boring. It actively pissed me off. Wasn't this whole boredom building up to him using the gears in a cool and imaginative way? NO. HE JUST MADE A FUCKING SWORD. WHO THE FUCK MAKES A SWORD WHEN HE HAS GEARS? At least make it a chainsaw, damn it.

The music was nice and the animation good, with a decent set up for the first episode.
