Spoilers Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru EDIT: I wasn't paying attention. No spoilers here! But yeah, this is gonna be my favorite anime of the season. The animation's fluid, it's a magical girl show, the soundtrack's cool, and the characters are cute. Yuuna and her friend remind me of Hibiki and Miku of Symphogear, so there's something awesome, and the barrier design is really interesting. Anyone else watching? What are your thoughts? Also, for you Akame ga Kill fans, the show's scenario is by Akame ga Kill's author. EDIT: And now I just found out that episode 1 and episode 2 aired back to back so I have to watch episode 2 now I'm so hyped.
Anime rec/discussion thread Hard Mode Edition HARD MODE: Name and speak of an anime that is more than fifteen years old, or less than three years old but has not aired in the past two seasons. NIGHTMARE MODE: Use the forum search function for your anime. If it does not show up in any results, post about it here. -Nightmare mode is more productive. NIGHTMARE MODE Entry: Senki Zesshou Symphogear. It has an all-star seiyuu cast, a story that sets you up for a Madoka-like despair then just catapults you into the sky with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, plot twists every two seconds that actually make sense and are fun, and one of the best soundtracks in anime. Also, more insert songs than three Kamen Rider seasons combined. Also copious amounts of yur
Love Live is a good Love Live is a good. Everybody should into Love Live. The Eli wills it and you must do as she commands. Harasho.
Reminder to watch Garo Garo is an anime spinoff of the Garo tokusatsu series, which is a really cool series. Note that the tokusatsu series is one aimed at older toku fans and has nudity and non-explicit sex, so if you're a young'un, don't watch the anime either lol. The designs for the two main characters shown so far are based off the first Garo series' designs of Zero and Garo, the Silver and Golden Knights respectively. Also, the character designs are pretty interesting in general. [url=http://imgur.com/a/RTcDV]Some screenshots showing the designs.[/url] I have faith in the plot. They adapted it rather well, converting it from a very standard but darker and edgier toku formula to a more anime-friendly one, judging from the first episode
Psycho-Pass 2 I feel like this deserves a new thread after episode 4. So whaddya think the author's gunning for thematically with Kamui? I don't really understand the need to insert the "What Color?" bit since it doesn't really tie into the plot anywhere... Also, NoitaminA is an amazing programming block, none of episode 4 was censored holy cow.

Madoka Rebellion Story thread OK, so I attended the premiere like over a month ago. And like... Wow. Okay, but, like, I made this thread just to talk about how much I love Witch-Homu's outfit and how charming it is (mostly because it reminds me of Bernkastel's). And then to just posit that Homucifer looks really freaking good in fanart with Godoka.
Sakura Trick thread Two chapters came out recently. I'm really happy with the current flow of events regarding Sakura Trick; the story (or lack thereof) is developing really nicely. There doesn't seem to be any possibility for overplayed drama even with the introduction of Yuu's sister. Also, DEEN didn't totally screw it up, even with the approximately $200 budget. The excess of obvious fanservice kinda ticks me off, but Saki did that too, and Saki's doing really well. So if it contributes to the success of Sakura Trick and the possibility of better quality in the future, I'm okay with it. Sometimes I wish I was still 12. Then I could enjoy Sakura Trick for just the overwhelming fountain of cuteness instead of applying sexual contexts to ev
