What anime are you watching thread 2.0 ~ Now with more upcoming weeaboo nonsense.

[Charizard Champion#06]

While that is indeed very, very long, it won't take THAT long to finish if you marathon it. At my marathon speed of 44 eps per day, it'll take me 8.31818181818182 days to finish Bleach.

No one has ever or will ever do that and if they do they are a moron.

Haha I wouldn't recommend the super overrated stuff like Bleach and Naruto. I very highly suggest you watch Code Geass (my first and my favorite). There are 25 episodes for both seasons. Also check out Shakugan no Shana, Guilty Crown, and Steins;Gate.

Didn't Guilty Crown end up sucking? I also recommend Steins;Gate (even though the lack of a dub might turn off a newcomer) and I haven't seen Shakugan no Shana but from what I've heard about Guilty Crown it wasn't that good. :\

^d00d, i was just about to post how i just finished katanagatari episode 4.
its def. a good series. before i watched it, i thought it was all -gatari fanboys.

I both loved at hated episode 4. The story of the Insect Squad was surprisingly tragic, it's the first time I feel legitimately sorry for the "bad guys" while still feeling sorry to the "good guy" as well.
Those last 5 minutes pissed me off. AFTER ALL THAT BUILDUP THEY SKIPPED THE ****ING FIGHT?! AAUUUUUGH!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I'm currently watching FMA:Brotherhood. I'm absolutely addicted!

[Jolteon91]

New K trailer, show looks amazing, and it's airing in Fall. God damn Fall is freakin' stacked with quality shows.

[themightydoof]

Well, I never thought I'd post in this thread, since before just now, I didn't watch anime outside pokemon. However, I just watched the first episode of Bleach (subbed), and I'm interested enough with the unique concept to keep watchin'. Does anybody know how good this show is on the grand scale?

And, are plots this unique standard in Japan, or are they all over there bursting with originality while americans sit and rot on hollywood?

There isn't a single thing unique about Bleach. It just seems that way since you aren't familiar with common anime tropes and cliches. Anime is just as likely to sit and rot on its established formulas as Hollywood is. Oh, and Bleach is tragically bad once you get past the early stuff.

Moyashimon is a great show. I'll get on to this season's sequel tomorrow. My main hope for it is more of the same, but with character development that might make Oikawa more likeable. Right now she's the weak link in a fantastic ensemble.

Kokoro Connect: Pretty good. More amusing than I expected. I'm interested to see how much material they can squeeze out of the concept because this is usually the sort of thing that would last one episode in another comedy.

[Charizard Champion#06]

I was at my friend's house today, we watched tons of anime, mostly Bones. He's been going through Soul Eater and Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix, I lent him my Brotherhood Blurays for when he's done. We finished up an episode of Soul Eater then watched the first 4 episodes of Darker Then Black. I liked it. Every odd numbered episode was pretty ordinary and then every even numbered episode was great. I enjoyed not being told exactly what's going on for once. It felt like the lack of exposition helped. Then we watched a disc of Lucky Star DVDs and then his Ouran Bluray bloopers.

New K trailer, show looks amazing, and it's airing in Fall. God damn Fall is freakin' stacked with quality shows.

As much as I love all the new shows coming out I'm going to be so swamped with anime AND schoolwork come Fall.

Ahh, Okay. I'll look into it

That was far too easy. Jolteon, you could've replaced "IDOLM@STER" with "Boku no Pico" and easily have got them to watch it.

I especially like how they showed a few seconds of animation from the fight you never get to see at the end of episode 3.

The stuff that I'm watching right now is pretty tightly packed around the weekend...

[Dragon Spirit]

Deadman wonderland is what I like to watch but other things like Bleach and such are just as good too.

[Durian Seed]

I'm too lazy to make big lists like Jolt and CC but I'm watching the stuff in my signature. And am more or less up to date with them all, plus some older series from past seasons.

Might go back and Restart and subsequently FINISH K-ON! and IDOLM@STER........

Latest thing I completed was Nazo no Kanojo X~~~

Wait, what? I don't usually watch previews so...
*checks*
OH YOU COCKSUCKERS!
The worst part is, the worst part is, the reason I decided to reach for Katanagatari after it was in my backlog all this time is because of that clip. I saw a gif and thought "wow, this animation is amazing, I should give it a go!"
Then I end up with Edo period Bakemonogatari. I'm hoping there's at least ONE fight that looks that good and manages to last for more than a minute (or 5 seconds given this shows average...).

Looks like that gif I saved is a monument to my stupidity.

Please, my list is nowhere near as big as Jolteon's. I'm watching a total of TWO new shows this season.

[Izanagi]

Been meaning to get into Madoka Magica just to see what all the hype is about or if it even worth its hype. So far only two episodes in.

Lol, may be my imagination, but I always recall you having at least 10-15 series ongoing in your queue.

[Izanagi]

Lol, what? Joking aside, it has a pretty good premise but hopefully it gets a good as people say it gets. Hopefully, it doesn't disappoint.

If it lives up to hype, is up to how hyped you got, but I enjoyed it throughly........

Boku no Pico? *Goes to watch* OH HELL NO!

[PikaPika677]

im pretty sure your 4 suggestions can be considered overrated.

Actually Guilty Crown is the only one that can be considered overrated imo. The others are pretty good anime series. Besides, it's not really good for a newbie to have Bleach as his first anime.

No one has ever or will ever do that and if they do they are a moron.

It doesn't sound that ridiculous. It probably would've done it if someone told me to last year. But then again I might also be a moron.

Didn't Guilty Crown end up sucking? I also recommend Steins;Gate (even though the lack of a dub might turn off a newcomer) and I haven't seen Shakugan no Shana but from what I've heard about Guilty Crown it wasn't that good. :\

Guilty Crown is only bad from a veteran's point of view. They've seen lots of anime and can easily tell which ones are bad. Newbies are usually much more tolerable when it comes to anime clichés and weak character development (that's me!) because they haven't seen as much "good" anime as others.

[Charizard Champion#06]

Episode 5 of Katanagatari was amazing so I guess I can forgive them for the ******** in episode 4. I still feel as bad as Togame when she found out it was "chesto" and not "cheerio" I can't believe I got tricked like that. Also I'm starting to love Yukari Tamura's voice.

Lol, may be my imagination, but I always recall you having at least 10-15 series ongoing in your queue.

For the last two or three seasons I've had about 10 shows that I've been watching. It's kind of nice to ease up for the summer, most of the new series don't interest me AND I get to catch up on my ridiculous backlog.

Though I must steel myself for the onslaught that will begin in Fall. I'll end up having a massive list then, be sure of it.

Boku no Pico? *Goes to watch* OH HELL NO!

Ah haa haaaa~

Yeah. On the other side of the spectrum is when people watch the legitimately "good" anime as one of their first. I think what happens is they have their minds blown but then someone else comes along who didn't appreciate it as much and thinks they're giving it too much praise. That when the word "overrated" gets thrown around, which isn't all that fair.

I think I saw Jolt also mention Fall, did the list already come out for fall??? share plz?

[Izanagi]

Overrated is a word that does get thrown a ton but many misuse the world it associate it with series that don't really deserve it or are worthy of it praise.

Urobuchi Gen has an original anime that will air in fall
There are three (THREE!!!) iDOLM@STER OVAs in fall

And I'm forgetting something, I'm sure it'll come to me sooner or later.

Little Busters is still only rumoured at this point, but fingers crossed we get confirmation soon.
I've seen some people who seem to think KyoAni's next series Chuunibyo Demo Koi go Shitai will air in Fall, I think that's unlikely though given that KyoAni like to focus on a single project at a time, and there is generally a good few months between KyoAni releases.
I've seen one list which has a Planetarian movie being animated by P.A. Works listed, now while it would be awesome there has been no news regarding any adaptation, so I really don't know where people got this one from.
