To be honest, literally nothing seems interesting. The zoophile elf should be a fun time-waster but that's about it.
I still can't believe Unnamed Memory is getting an S2. I hope morbid curiosity doesn't get the better of me.

Unexpectedly good prospects.
Genuinely looking forward to: the good golf anime (let's see what they can do with a full cour), Ave Mujica (I'm bound to this franchise by ancient curse, plus I actually like this band's music), the Okinawa thing (I'm into Ryukyuan themes, even if I have to suffer them through a Yamato-imperialist view).
Genuinely looking forward to be disappointed by: Momentary Lily.
Looking interesting: ZENSHU, HanaShura, any of a dozen or so romcoms including 100kano S2. And although I'm still tormented by visions of flesh-eating maggots from the last time I gave a Grisaia anime a chance, I can never get enough of Watanabe Akio's designs, so add that one too. Unsure about Pedo!!! on Ice, though.
Lastly, I guess I'll strategically pick up Dr. House Solves Mysteries And Is A Cute Girl By The Way, so that later I can drop it and free up time for better anime. It'll be a busy season, gotta be smart about resource management.

>>37470>the GoHands shitOkay, I have two problems.
The first problem is the lack of pantyshots. I am all for skirts that just barely hide the panties… but we should see the underskirt in the reflection. However obviously Ueno has supplied her with blackout.
The second problem is that the animation is just way too stiff. When Shaft was animating its similar series, Thick Thighs, all battle scenes had lots of distortion, both in terms of space and in terms of time. That made the sequences way more readable and way more impactful. Meanwhile GoHands adds artificial camera shaking on top of everything.
>the lolihag detectiveAll of the actual mysteries were retarded. Starting from how several different clinics did not even test the kid for the vitamin dosages it has, to the main mystery depending on… I dunno even what. The only explanation is that the autopsy wasn't ready yet and/or the policemen didn't know the result of it.
I kinda want to watch it but I will need copious amounts of alcohol for that.

GoHair's motto seems to be "the surest way to leave an impression is to become your own parody". This shit's absurd to the point of breaking immersion: I just can't accept that someone in these circumstances would be able to utter a whole sentence without spitting the hair out of their mouth.
>>37471Leaving aside the studio's usual first-episode overeagerness, though, I agree that the show's true weak spot are its action scenes. I can't pinpoint a visual flaw as accurately, but I find them boring at the storyboard level: a succession of very flashy but very inefficient and cliched attacks, with no overall coherence despite what the dialog says, and bad pacing as a result of it all.
But I knew this much from the PV. What I didn't expect is that I'd like pretty much everything except the action scenes. I come to this genre for the off-time prattling and frolicking, and I got a good serving of that. You may of course argue that they're pushing the characters' archetypes too hard, especially with the gatcha game addict that speaks exclusively in videogame jargon, but I feel they might know what they're doing. And the way the newcomer's introduction was developed was completely unexpected and very welcome.

>>37473In other happy news, Grisaia is everything I could wish for. Why in fact bother putting a two-minute recap in front of the thing, when the writing's clearly competent enough to ease newcomers into the setting and characters? I didn't feel like I was missing a thing.
Attached is the lewdest scene in recent anime memory, seek senpai supervision and shield your eyes adequately before opening.

I accidentally watched episode 3 of Detective MD. Have a screenshot of JC Takao so you can spare yourselves the trouble.
The Okinawa anime is fine. I still don't get why they cast a Nagoyan to play the shimanchu, but she's definitely trying and her pronunciation is getting less jarring (or I'm getting used to it). Kana is clearly best, though, and would be perfect if only she spoke Uchinaaguchi.
Apparently they're going to be covering a different song by an Okinawan artist for each episode's ED. I know few such songs, but I'm calling them before they happen, in decreasing order of likelihood: Shimauta, Umi no Koe, Haisai Ojisan, Nada Sousou [observe that if they do cover the third one, they will have to sing 'haitai' instead of 'haisai'].

Sucks that I couldn't get a decent shoujo romance to round up the season, but at least Hyakkano still delivers, the workplace one may be decent, and the secret highschool marriage one is also better than expected. I don't even know if you addressed that last one, your code is too thick for me to break.

I understand that a shoujo must address the point that the MC is right and it's the other girls that are wrong, but there are still such things as taste and good measure.Tbh I didn't find it selling me on her sad past too much or too grating. It's a really unassuming watch, which is why I guess I still haven't dropped it, unlike the unsuccessful mangaka one. I haven't yet watched the third episode either tho. I will probably give it like 6/10 or 7/10 but hey, I need something to watch on the way to work anyway.
>but the normalcy of their adult relationship is indeed welcomeYup. The premise is not the most interesting thing but the execution is very smooth sailing all in all.
>and the secret highschool marriage one is also better than expected. I don't even know if you addressed that last one, your code is too thick for me to break.It's the "marrying the most w*man" one. I certainly expected less from it from the first episode, though the imouto continues to be the highlight of every episode.

This anime ain't everything I'd hoped, but it's pretty good. Has a certain feeling of fumbling around, but it gets the basics right at least. At times it reminds me of DIY for some reason.
>>37562>>37571So, she predates observable time, possesses unfathomable capabilities, and benefits from the existence of a set of physical laws which allow baths and brothers to exist. Have you considered the reciprocal hypothesis, namely, the universe is a miracle of Shise's?

No.37588
>>37587>this seems to be by the author of HibikeOh, so THAT's why they were shilling so hard a novelette by the author of Hibike! Silly me, I hunted it down and backlogged it without questioning why they were pushing it over safer choices, like some public-domain classic.
As for your main point, I wish to refute it, but I really can't. I'm enjoying this anime, but I must concede the criticisms raised here. The tsundere at least has been upgraded to a usable mentor/rival character by recent developments, but that was at the cost of MC playing the kind of character that breaks AT fields through sheer cheerfulness and persistence. Like she were, say, Miyafuji trying to earn Perrine's respect - not the image I'd gotten of her so far.
Ditto for the sports theme not fitting the characters, although MC seems to be waking up to some sort of competitive spirit. If the message of it all is to learn to see your hobbies through other people's points of view, and to dare to become the person you need to be at each moment, then it'll all work out yet. But it does give off a feeling of not quite knowing what it wants to be. Possibly because MC doesn't know what she wants to be after all.
No.37589
>>37588At the same time MC basically gives off the feeling that she is just following what her senpai wants from her, and it seems like the series doesn't actually have the self-realization that it's doing that.
But, more than that, I am wondering what the SFX guy is even doing in the club. He isn't interested at all in competing, so what does he spend his time doing? Just sitting there and chatting with the other guys? If they were doing the radio dramas he seems to be interested in, surely MC would notice and we would see it through her eyes, right? Like, if the message of it all really was to learn to see your hobbies through other people's points of view, and to dare to become the person you need to be at each moment, surely it would be most productive to also let the MC see her hobby through SFX guy's point of view and compare and contrast that to the sports anime shit of senpai and tsun. But he and his point of view on the hobby have been completely ignored ever since his own introduction. He is redelegated to being the one sensible character.
