Fall 2014 Anime Season

Look at that animation quality. Beautiful

Body Horror has never looked so good.

That is honestly kind of amazing for a TV series.

BASED SEVEN ARCS, JUST BASED SEVEN ARCS

My god, I have read that. It's almost Mayu Shinjo-level trash, only with less rape and more dog metaphors. Just about everything in it is groan-inducing.

@Parasyte trailer: They better not censor the blood and gore in this, I swear to god.

One of the many reasons why I hate most shoujo and yaoi.

I like shoujo

although I admit I've only really seen the more lighthearted ones

Let's look at the staff of Inou Battle Within Everyday Life. While the Director, Masanori Takahashi, is a green horn who who has served as Episode Director on anime like Strike Witches, The Idolmaster (which Trigger helped animate at one point), and Gundam00, their is also a Chief Director, the title Shinichiro Watanabe has on Space Dandy. In this case, it is Masanori Takahashi, who will also be the head writer. To get an idea of this guy's credentials, he has been working on projects with Yoh Yoshinari (THE key animator of Gainax and Trigger) since Neon Genesis Evangelion. A lot of Ganaix shows (and Kill La Kill) have his name on them as an Episode Director or Script Writer. In fact, he wrote the script for Little Witch Academia.

In other words, I'm not ready to write off this anime just yet. I'll give it three episodes to catch my interest.

Stuff:

A shoujo manga who's premise doesn't make me uncomfortable. Also looks to be set in fantasy Korea, which is rare

That weird twintail anime is scheduled for October. Not sure why this wasn't announced earlier

Fantasy korea outfits are surprisingly less interesting than real historical korea outfits.

Reminds me of Fushigi Yuugi

Social card game adaptation. It actually looks kind of awesome, though?

Hell yeah, it looks sweet.

It looks like someone just took a card game and said "screw all the card stuff lets just throw all the shit together in crazy battles." And I whisper "finally."

Kaisar's design looks kinda stupid.

Although the anime seems to kick all that is ass.

Eh, yu gi oh actually does have awesome fights and monster designs.

This looks like to be that but for adults.

I recall playing that game ages ago. Wasn't anything special, from what I remember.

Still, might as well see if the anime's any good.

@138: Not my kind of art style, unfortunately.

I don't like the character design, but the backgrounds and non-human designs more than make up for it, in my opinion.

We know things about that new P.A. Works series now

Life married to an otaku

Cool Kyoshinsha is an acceptable pseudonym? Good, I'm so totally going to write my stories as "Cypher Mann Psykotik"

On a more serious note, I can only conceive the series as some sort of gender flipped Moe series. Or maybe something like Azumanga Daioh meets Otaku No Video.

I read the manga briefly. It's mostly just the wife worrying too much, but frankly I can't even remember about what. The only thing I can remember about it is the weird and strangely lighthearted subplot about her best friend always trying to seduce her husband.

Another one for January

I... don't really know what to make of it

Also something I'd missed for this upcoming season: Donten ni Warau
