So now that we are at or past the 3 episode mark, how is your 3 Episode Rule going?

Lets see, right now I"m watching

  • Kinrio
  • Love Lab
  • Going Home (I know its bad but whatever)
  • Watamote
  • Genshiken
  • Neptunia
  • Servant X Service
  • Silver Spoon
  • Uchoten Kazoku
  • Monogatari
  • C3
  • MJP

I may be dropping Monogatari. I haven't watched past episode 2. Is it still just about the 2 girls I care the least about talking?

I'm also likely going to drop Genshiken if it keeps being freaking "The Miss-adventures of Hato's Trap Life Show: guest starting Genshiken"

Let's see... what I have right now is:

  • Rozen Maiden
  • Watamote
  • Fate/Kaleid
  • Kitakibu
  • Genei wo
  • Sunday Without God
  • Kiniro Mosaic
  • Fantasista Dolls
  • Hyperdimension Neptunia

Might drop that last one, since the anime feels a bit... meh. also dropped Dog x Scissors for not being interested. And having the author be a horrible, horrible person.

RWBY (this counts, right?), Rozen Maiden, Symphogear G, Gatchaman Crowds, Genei Taiyou, Monogatari S2, Uchouten Kazoku. And I'll probably be picking up Railgun again now that it's finished the part that I've already seen three times before

Thanks to my busy work life, I ended up only watching Servant X Service, Gifuu Doudou, Fantasista Doll, Senyuu. & Kin-iro Mosaic. So far, these shows are great. In fact, I think Gifuu Doudou is severely underrated by anibloggers who missed the actual premise of the show: reminiscence.

I've only dropped Gifuu! Doudou and Fantasista Doll, mostly because I don't really have the time and these two I deemed low-priority.

My Crunchyroll queue includes Rozen Maiden (okay, but a bit of a slow start), Fantasista Dolls (Kinda eh on this one), Day Break Illusion (good), Kinmoza (funny!), Prisma Ilya (okay), Uchouten Kazoku (interesting), Sunday Without God (okay), Gatchaman Crowds (entertaining), and Watamote (funny, but Crunchyroll won't display it on my Samsung TV app).

I'm also seeing Love Lab (funny) and Dangan Ronpa (bit of a different experience than reading the Let's Play) in addition to the three anime still ongoing from previous seasons.

I may be dropping Monogatari. I haven't watched past episode 2. Is it still just about the 2 girls I care the least about talking?

Essentially yes, although it's branched out a bit to one of the girls you care about least talking to other people. Although as I recall from long ago in the Bake thread, you didn't really "get" the show so I don't think there's any harm in you dropping it.

As for me, I'm continuing to watch everything that I've already read the source material for. Because I'm a terrible person. Also Uchouten Kazoku and Gatchaman Crowds.

For some reason, I can't be bothered to watch the anime for Silver Spoon or Watamote even though I've been following both manga, so I dropped both. I also can't be bothered to watch Fantasista Doll past the first third of episode 3, since I realized that I was watching it for the one funny joke per episode.

I guess I'll give Fantasista the rest of the third episode when I can be arsed to.

What I'm still watching, in descending order of enjoyment:

  • Neptunia the Animation
  • TWGOK: Goddesses
  • Symphogear G
  • Day Break Illusion
  • Go Home Club
  • DXD New

I've been intending to watch the new season of Monogatari, but then I realized that I watched all the previous ones in one go after they'd finished running, so I decided to wait.

I know the Monogatari series are about talking, but the problem is its discussions between characters I really don't like. Where's Araragi dammit?

He's having offscreen adventures in blatant, fourth wall breaking foreshadowing. I suppose if that's what you care about the amount of mysterious references to what he's doing increases over time.

Perhaps I'll just wait until the whole show is out instead of waiting weekly.

To my eyes, there was quality drop in Silver Spoon episode 3, so am feeling (heavy sigh) about it. To be clear, my disappointments is aimed solely at whoever decided on the budget, since the source material is Grade S quality.

Also, last I checked the price of the first dvd-blu is ridiculously expensive (and with just one episode...???) I remember my reaction to it being... 4k yen for just ONE episode, are you crazy?! I heard Aniplex was like Mr. Krabs, but damn... (and this isn't even a fanservice type of show).

With episode 3 quality being what is is, I have 0.00% hopes that it will sell 10k and also very low hopes it will even reach the Manabi line.

I guess they just want to boost the manga sales.

As for other shows, I have Civ on the brain, so I'm behind on everything except for Silver Spoon and Free! (which is at least keeping up the production quality). (Goddamit, Shogakukan, Silver Spoon's written by FMA's creator. It sold a million BEFORE it got an anime. WTF did you skimp on the budget?!)

I want Silver Spoon anime by Kyo Ani. T_T

I don't understand Japan and its blu ray prices.

I can get an entire SEASON for like 60 bucks for western animation or TV

I'd be lucky if 60 bucks got me 2 episodes for an anime blu ray.

There's a lot more in the way of extras with those two episodes. And I mean a lot. We just get the disc most of the time.

The problem is that there's no option without them.

If you want a cheap (2,000 yen) DVD with one episode, here you go.

20 dollars for 20 minutes is not cheap.

I believe the reason for it is that they're basically making their entire profit from the BDs, and most non-kiddy anime is broadcast after midnight in Japan and therefore never gets that many viewers at the time.

So I caught up with the latest episode of C3 Bu

Uh.

What.

[up] My thoughts exactly.

I've also decided to give up on Brothers Conflict. Five episodes in and it's still nothing special. Speaking purely of execution it's better than previous reverse harems like Arcana Famiglia and Amnesia, but it's still dull.

[up][up]Well, either she has mental time travel powers/reality warping, or she's really crazy and hallucinating even during the "normal" segments.

I did think it was interesting though to turn her "overactive imagination" interpretation of events into an actual character trait and/or plot point.

And its an Anime only. If they turned some potentially bland Air-Soft anime into something about a reality warper who can change time...

From /a/

Silver Spoon was not funded by its manga publisher so they risk no financial harm. Fuji TV is gonna be the one losing money.

If this true, this explains episode 3 quality drop...

Just to back up a bit(ok, alot)...Dangan Ronpa: We got another scissors user. Maybe it is a trend or something.
