Fall 2018 Anime

I still got various anime across 4 seasons to catch up on. When you're not following week by week, it just seems too much to watch them all at once.

Weirdly enough, most of the shows I'm enjoying this season are romance/slice-of-life, which isn't usually my cup of tea… at least among those I watch (Bunny Girl, Irodzuku, Yagakimi).

Speaking of romance, I've heard good things about Kishuku Gakkou no Juliet too.

Oh my God, Gridman has zero time to waste giving you context, introductions, or anything else, does it.

Alright, Zombieland Saga is freaking awesome. That's all I have to say. I'm going back to catching up on the season.

Yeah, think I'm gonna shelve Gridman. The character designs are nice, but tokusatsu/kaiju has never been my thing, and Akane's motivation of Evil Is Petty and Disproportionate Retribution is not particularly engaging.

I vaguely remember its American version (Which is where the SSSS comes from) and I do believe the villain was a kid who was petty as well. Though the villain played by Tim Curry was an Omnicidal Maniac.

So I just watched Conception.

I kinda wish I hadn't.

Is that the one where the hero has to impregnate women or something?

It's a rather dull anime that's also a dull adaption of a video game that people assumed would have the main pair perform sexual acts together for something that doesn't matter to people who never knew about the game beforehand.

Precisely. I went in expecting basically just porn with plot, but in the end it was neither thing. It didn't even provide me with good snarking material, which is just disappointing.

I have no idea what the anime or the first game is like but I played the sequel which was the only one localized in America. You'd think the whole children thing would be played for audaciousness or at least fanservice but it really isn't. It's just a game mechanic.

I honestly have no idea how anything related to it warranted an anime.

If nothing else, the first couple of episodes were initially enjoyable purely because of the of the interactions between the MC and Mana. Also MC and the not-pregnant girl. Though his responses have pretty much become non-existent so that's not as fun any more.

Oh well, at least the opening's pretty good.

@Red Savant: Just saw this weeks episode and funny enough they reveal Akane is the "God" of the world they are in and that she became Kaiju-like mentally.

I’m convinced she’s Not!Tim Curry’s patsy but he’s letting her act out her power fantasy for his own ends.

Yeah that was obvious but the not!Akane Kaiju makes clear this world existed before he appeared and was already hers. He came just like Gridman did from elsewhere and started enabling her desire to act like a petty God.

The only thing people remember about Concpetion is that the Second game had Monokuma as a Bonus Boss.

Really liked this weeks Double Decker episode. Came in expecting Maxies reasons to hate prom being the person she likes didn't fit her orientation/like her and instead he was an Okama/Transexual and his life was ruined by coming out and she even changed herself to wear a suit while he wore a dress. She chose to wear her new masculine image with pride after what happend. And her current implied love interest is a Robot Girl.

Is anyone watching Tsurune? I've got a question I'd like to make and I can't find a thread for it.

Im plNning to watch it this weekend.

I'm a bit on the fence about it. I enjoy archery and I like the directing in the show, but the characters and slow-paced drama are kinda killing me here. I'm wondering if it gets a bit better about either of these things, or if I should shelve the show.

Man, this has been a good season. I'm having trouble cutting my lineup down here. I've confirmed six up til now, and I'm still looking at four more as possible additions. Tough competition.

Thus far, I'm down with Zombieland Saga, SSSS. Gridman, Bloom Into You, Release The Spyce, Boarding School Juliet and Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny-Girl Senpai, and I'm also considering World In Colors, Akanesasu Shoujo, Reincarnated As A Slime, and Hinomaru Sumo. I think my backburner is about to grow some more.

Real happy for you.

I've honestly dropped a lot this season. I'm really only keeping up with Zombieland Saga, Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, and I should be keeping up with Yagate Kimi ni Naru but it's entering an arc about a character I don't really like.
