Kaiju Girls: Not as horrible as these shorts can be, but not really funny, either

Izetta: Good! Action, bit of politics, strong animation, good music. Ridiculous enough to be entertaining but nuanced enough to have depth. I mean, so far

MahoIku: My word, Snow White is adorable. So, uh, well enough made but not much has happened yet. Will give at least a few more episodes

Vivid Strike: Nope. The writing is mediocre and the animation is worse. I'm not sure what the point of bringing back a franchise is if you're going to retool it (alienating existing fans) and put no effort into it (alienating everyone else)

Hm, the subtitles seem much more fansub-ish this season

[up] I'm a fan of the nanoha series, but I'm not even gonna give ViVid Strike a chance for that very reason. And also because they just stopped right before a great fight in ViVid and never picked it up again.

I don't get you. The animation is much better than in A-1's Vi Vid adaptation and the story is somehow closer to S1 than to Vi Vid.

[up] Apparently Nanoha has to be written out of her own franchise due to her voice actress leaving her record company and hence they're going for this sort of series now?

...The Vivid anime must have been a slide show if the animation was significantly worse than what was on display in VS

Monster Hunter Stories: Rider On: I like it, will continue watching it. The main cast is good for me. Though the monster CG is bit mixed on how good it is.

Dream Festival is essentially a male version of Aikatsu. I liked the latter, so that means keep watching for me.

Bubuki Buranki 2nd Season: I am still not a fan of the CGI animation and the sister is as annoying as I thought she would be but the Bubuki designs are still cool and a like the crippled English girl. The Taiwanese Heart is a jerk though.

Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru: A bit more comedic that I thought it was going to be and the budget seems a little low but the fight scenes were reasonably good.

Okusama ga Seitokaichou!+!: Still trying to push the boundaries of what you can get away with, without getting your series classified as Hentai series. Ui is still cute as a button. Also, still majestic, even during panty shots.

Do we have a trope for Relena expies? Because there's three of them on-air at the moment

Touken Ranbu: Hanamura: Little bit of action, quite a bit of comedy, about what I was expecting. Only complain I really have is that Saniwa is The Ghost.

Table tennis: Yeah, no. The source material is decent, but the anime is low-budget, poorly directed, and changed things for the worse

Trickster: It's as campy as the last Edogawa Ranpo anime, just unintentionally this time. Some neat visuals but this isn't really enough to make up for feeling like it's a 15-year-old's first story. Not going to follow unless this season turns out much worse than I'm expecting

But is it as BAD as the last Ranpo thing? Because that was just asinine in pretending to be more than a trashy and misguided adaptation.

In trying to insert "cool and hip" and "actualizing" into the story it completely undermined the tone and form of mystery. There is also that trap character, who was a shallow attempt at pandering and had near no personality. I said it somewhere before, but if the detective and the class rep had been the protagonists the series might have actually worked.

You talking about Game of Laplace right? Never saw it because it didn't look interesting. Or Good.

Indeed. I'll admit to not watching the whole thing, but I'm fairly certain that not wasting my time with it was the correct choice.

Nobunaga no Shinobi AKA Ninja Girl and Samurai Master: Short (like four minutes) but sweet and funny. Wish that Episode 0 was translated, though.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi

Eh... What the hell have I just watched? It wasn't bad, though. And magical exorcist girl 'Toi was cool.

[up] Something with the worst attempt at British accents ever? Nicely done apart from that though, if a bit rough in places, but I think we have our second mahou shoujo series of the season.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi: This isn't going to be worth following. Meh animation and no interesting hooks. The dads don't help.

[up]This season has Raising Project, Vivid Strike, Matoi, and Flip Flappers for magical girls. I'd put Wixoss in that category too unless it's extremely different from the first series, and you could make a case for Izetta if you wanted. We've got a mahou shoujo overload all of a sudden.

Hylarn (Don’t ask)
#98: Oct 4th 2016 at 6:54:28 PM

Matoi: Tonal issues. Sometimes it's a goofy comedy and sometimes it's dark fantasy, with the result that it's hard to really buy into either. Also, don't like the art style. Not planning to follow

Nanbaka: Pretty decent, though it's attempts at seriousness toward the end don't really work. One for the "If I'm short on things I'm actually into" pile

Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku: A pretty interesting first episode, even if it was very meta. A magical girl anime fan who becomes a magical gir through a smartphone game about magical girls. Also, one of the girls is a guy. It will probably get pretty dark soon, but that's not surprise in the post Madoka genre. .

i guess I want to mention it here, but I decided to create a trope page for Nobunaga no Shinobi under the name of Ninja Girl & Samurai Master. If anyone wants to help me edit it, go ahead.
