I thought this one was really amusing though.

It is, and it's an entirely valid thing to link to. But there's no need to try to turn it into a discussion

In any case, many bloggers are bemoaning the number of LN adaptations this upcoming season contains. You guys think there are too many?

Most of them look mediocre to terrible, but there's enough other stuff that the season itself looks fine

There are two types of shoujo manga. The ones about a girl in high school and this other dude who is kind of a dick and they fall for each other, and then there’s the ones that never get turned into an anime.
Had to laugh my ass off from this.

MMORPGs are serious business.

[up]I share the same sentiment with you.

The previews used to at least list anime of kids, but they didn't appear this time. I'm need some preview opinions to choose between Kaitou Joker and Tribe Cool Crew. I like both of the premises and artstyle, but because of other commitments I could only choose one of them. On the other hand, other anime that I'm viewing the next season are:

  • Aikatsu! season 3
  • Yowamushi Pedal GRANDE ROAD
  • Girlfriend (Beta)
  • Gundam Build Fighters Try
  • Gundam Reconguista In G
  • Rage of Bahamut Genesis
  • Psycho-Pass 2

The third alternative type,is the Magical Girl genre where there's lesbian undertones that attract older people.

girl in high school and this other dude who is kind of a dick

Read: sexually assaults her, but it's okay, because he didn't really mean it, he was just trying to teach her dumb female ass a lesson about staying safe.

Worst shoujo trope ever.

That's… not really fair. I mean, yeah, that series is influential, but it also doesn't have that much in common with the kind of general LN formula we're seeing nowadays.

To be fair to the shoujo anime demographic, the whole X/Tokyo Babylon saga was written with teenage girls as the target audience. Ditto Revolutionary Girl Utena, which basically turns that whole trope on its head in the wildest way possible.

To be unfair, I have been quoted as saying that shoujo is fluff, josei is debauchery, and the only thing between them is yaoi.

There's Pretty Cure, which is also shoujo mixed with Seinen elements.

I find it dubious when someone mentions shoujo and seinen in the same breath.

The Seinen elements are fights.

Like insane Dragon Ball esque fights

Sample:

Yes, this is still classified as a little girls show in japan.

Watcha talking about, Willis?

Not quite sure that counts as Seinen. Shonen fits that description a bit better imo.

[up][up]Dragon Ball esque fights don't make something seinen. Because, you know, Dragon Ball itself is one of the most iconic shounen.

The official marketing papers lists the franchise as being aimed at 4 to 12 year old girls and...... 18 to 36 year old guys.

Because shoujo was brought up, that's why.

Just following along, I guess.

Plus everything announced fro fall has been announced, so thers nothing much to talk about until the first show of the season (Terra Formars) premiers.

While probable, there's been last-minute announcements before. I recall Area No Kishi getting announced around a week before the season started

thers nothing much to talk about until the first show of the season (Terra Formars) premiers

Even if that was true (there's PVs, previews, list-making...), there's still no call to go off-topic

Anyways, Parasyte seems to be The Hype of the season.

Will watch:

  • Parasyte: Frankly, I'm way too young to ever hear of the manga, but I hear it's pretty swell. It's on this list because I love Body Horror and this is the shit Cronenberg has nightmares with.

  • Gundam Build Fighters Try: IT'S GUNDAM, GODDAMMIT!

  • Gundam Reconguista In G: See above.

  • Psycho Pass 2: All hail based Urobutcher.

  • Fate/Stay Night: Studio DEEN is a demonic blob of misery sent to prey on the joy of the living. I'm going to see this and enjoy it solely based on how much their adaptation sucked.

  • Mushishi: Mushishi is the best anime of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Will give try.

  • Rage of Bahamut Genesis: MAPPA is shaping up to be an awesome studio; the thing Madhouse could've been if they didn't go to shit. The fact that their animation on Kids on the Slope and Zankyou no Terror is the closest thing television will ever get to having sex with the viewer's eyeballs convinced me to watch this even if I don't necessarily like the premise. Maybe it'll end like another Guilty Crown and have a show that it's bags of shit glued together by its amazing battle scenes and music.

  • Garo: Honoo no Kokuin: More MAPPA.

  • Inou Battle Wa Nichijoukei No Naka De: Fucking LN harem bullshit gragleblarge. But, it's based Trigger we talkin' 'bout here.

  • Sora no Method: I love Kanon. The fact that it's by the same writer grants an automatic promotion to this tier.

  • World Trigger/Seven Deadly Sins: I like shounen.

  • Akatsuki no Yona: Why? I don't know. The PV stuck with me for some reason and it still occupies my thoughts for the last five days or so, along with tits, soapy wank and the feasibility of suicide. May as well watch the goddamn show and see if it's absolute wank or another Medaka Box-like underrated anime that I like but no one else does.

Unlikely, but may still happen.

  • Shirobako: Cute girls doing cute things hur hurr. But it's cute girls doing manga! OK, you managed to interest me a little.

  • Cross Ange: Yay mecha! But if it's another fanservice blob, I'm going to fucking punch someone.

  • Ronia the Robber’s Daughter: The CG models are in constant rape face mode. I'll see it mostly to poke fun at it.

  • Laughing Under the Clouds: Mostly to see how a studio known for moe series will do a series about historical Japan. And, if it fails, to poke fun at it.

  • Electric Town Bookstore Worker: The PV has a reference to Kuso Miso Technique. 'Nuff said.

  • Ore Twin Tail Ni Narimasu: You know what? The problem with anime today is fucking L Ns. The fuckers just [LN rant deleted.] But I'll still watch half an episode.

All in all, this is gonna be good.

[up][up] I actually like some LN and LN adaptations, like High School Dx D, mainly because of Issei Motherfuckin' Hyodo, Badass Incarnate. But on the other hand, L Ns are fucking shitstain upon humanity grarglebarlbleyadda [incomprehensible rage noises].

[up] I just wasn't grabbed.
