Netflix is going to have the whole series up on the 30th.

Just the first half, actually.
---

?

I was told the first half was already up a few weeks ago and that they were putting S2 out right away after huge backlash.
---

Stop getting your news from liars I guess.
---

Boo, I was planning to watch.

Netflix isn't on my account so I haven't had a chance to look
---

I want to watch LWA soon too but sucks it's not on crunchy or netflix... I've gotten really used to watching stuff on my TV through PS4 apps.
---

Yeah, if i still had decent enough Wifi for Crunchy, I'd probably still be caught up on shows. Having to download everything separately and watch on my PC is just so bothersome and turns me off the process.
---

Watched Nyanko Days. This was a really fun show about moderately anthropomorphic cats. It suffered mainly from having 2 minute episodes (could deal with this) and some episodes focused entirely on the human characters, which I could not deal with at all. The humans are all pretty solid honestly, but you can see humans like this in any SoL. Also cats > humans, generally. Could've been like a 10 if it focused entirely on the cats. I wish they made more cat anime...
---

Also watched the Gabriel Dropout OVAs. I'd been led to believe the first one was just fanservice, but the fanservice part was just the last couple minutes, and most of that was still funny (slime part was meh), so it was good. Satania failing over and over at easily accomplishable tasks never gets old. Second one was pretty interesting since it wasn't really comedic, just heartwarming. I quite liked that too. Always nice to get some good OVAs after a show you like finishes. ^_^
---

well I have decided to do writeups on the upcoming season for the first time in... probably three years at least.

get hyped.

starting in a minute.
---

Hype. Will probably do some soon too since Summer anime have gotta be like a couple days or so away?

the springs ones are ending this week yes
---

going alphabetically by whatever title MAL uses. also probably not going to do much research on these beyond what's on MAL because that's a lot of work and also I'm not going to watch much (if anything) while it's airing.

anyway

18if - well... this doesn't say anything about what it's about.
watching - ???

action heroine cheer fruits - I don't really understand what an action heroine is and this doesn't appeal to me.
watching - almost certainly not.

aho girl - sounds like it might be good but hard to judge comedy by the synopsis usually.
watching - maybe. probably based on its reception.

ballroom e youkoso - a dance anime is unique but it also sounds kind of like a sports anime which I don't really care about.
watching - possibly, depending on how much focus is actually on dance practice and competitions or whatever. (less is better.)

battle girl high school: battle girl project - ew.
watching - no.

centaur no nayami - so it's about monster girls but they "have a fun and mostly normal daily school life." well that's boring.
watching - highly unlikely, jess.

clione no akari - premise doesn't tell that much but also intrigues me. first series by the studio apparently.
watching - probably.

dive!! - it is a sports anime.
watching - no

fate/apocrypha - a shitty spin-off of a series close to my heart.
watching - based on the premise and quality of other fate spinoffs, not that interested. if it ends up well-received, I'll probably watch it.

gamers! - sounds like a cute cliche romance anime.
watching - yes

hajimete no gal - also sounds cute and I like the girl's design.
watching - yes

hina logi: from luck & logic - looks kind of stock magical girly.
watching - no

hitorijima my hero - a shounen ai SoL. that's about all it says.
watching - probably not.

ikemen sengoku - "sengoku."
watching - no

isekoi shokudou - sounds like it could be entertaining and the "mystery" tag means maybe there's more to it than it sounds.
watching - yes

isekai wa smartphone to tomo ni - could easily be generic but I like the premise anyway despite how often we seem to get this type of anime now.
watching - yes

jigoku shoujo: yoi no togi - haven't seen this show before but it always sounded interesting to me.
watching - yes, after I watch the first three seasons.

jikan no shihaisha - meh.
watching - no

kaito x ansa - the sequel to some shitty anime I don't remember hearing of.
watching - no

kakegurui - this sounds awesome.
watching - yes

katsugeki/touken ranbu - concept doesn't really sound that interesting but it's ufotable. if it's popular, I'll try it.
watching - maybe

keppeki danshi! aoyama-kun - a sports anime... but the comedy tilt could be entertaining. still, meh.
watching - no

knight's & magic - why does this have an apostrophe? this offends me.
watching - probably not

koi to uso - sounds pretty dumb but I'm just going with stuff that's romance focused.
watching - yes

konbini kareshi - sounds pretty simple so hard to tell if it'll be good or not. a show like this being original seems strange too. maybe it'll be shorts.
watching - maybe

made in abyss - art style makes it look like a nick jr. anime but the premise isn't bad. kind of surprised to see the manga has a high score too...
watching - maybe

mahoujin guru guru - apparently this was an old manga that parodies RPGs. could be funny I guess.
watching - maybe

mori no yousei: kinoko no musume - ???
watching - ??? (probably not)
---

musashino! - a sequel to some short series I've never heard of.
watching - no

musekunin galaxy tylor - reboot of a classicish anime I haven't seen.
watching - no

nana maru san batsu - an anime about trivia games sounds kind of neat but maybe not...
watching - maybe

netsuzou trap - I'm not some yuri fanboy but this sounds like it could be good.
watching - yes

new game!! - sequel to a show I haven't seen and am not really interested in.
watching - no

nora to oujo to noraneko heart - legit thought that was kobato from haganari for a second.
watching - doubtful

owarimonogatari 2nd season - not into this series as I once was but still want to see the rest.
watching - yes

piko tarou no lullaby lullaby - "three-minute episode"
watching - no

~~~

holy shit does every season have this many shows

taking a break for now, I'm burnt out

Hey guys, Fate/Grand Order just got released.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aniplex.fategrandorder.en
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fate-grand-order-english/id1183802626

I guess I should make a topic for this.

Or I guess LtM already made one:

I am reading Soma for more Rindou.

I am getting more Rindou, life is good.

alice is over.
honestly there may be shows i like more than that but it's going to be the one that sticks with me the most this season. top tier show, sana best daughterfu, zouroko best grandpa.

Summer 2017 Anime Write-ups

Ballroom e Youkoso - The necks in the trailer were so distracting even if I wanted to check it out they would bother me.

Clione no Akari - Has an adventure tag, but the description doesn't really say much. Might check it out if it's good.

Gamers! - Didn't think this would be an ecchi series. It's also a comedy though so if it's funny I'll give it a shot.

Hitorijime my Hero - Literally never heard of this thing I won't be watching.

Jigoko Shoujo Yoi no Togi - Never seen any of this series. Sounds like this one could be half flashback/recap based on the description?

Katsugeki Touken Ranbu - ufotable animating this is likely the only reason people would check this out.

Koi to Uso - Doesn't really sound interesting to me.

Mahoujin Guru Guru - Never heard of this and anichart's list doesn't have info on it.

New Game!! - If I like S1 of this I'll watch this as well.

Saiyuki Reload Blast - I think this series has been around a long time? Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Either way pass for now.

Tenshi no 3P! - A highschool guy helping some fifth grade girls get music careers? FBI alert.

Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou - Might be interesting so we'll see.

Part 2 later.

princess principal - this sounds like it's probably dumb but also could be entertaining
watching - maybe

saiyuuki reload blast - this hasn't had any anime in a long time. no experience with the series and little interest.
watching - no

senki zesshou symphogear AXZ - watched some of S1, not my thing.
watching - no

shokoku no altair - synopsis makes it sound like it could be good or shitty. manga has a good MAL score which means it's probably good.
watching - probably

skirt no naka wa keadamono deshita - actually could be an interesting premise but the ecchi tag and 5 minute episode length means it'll probably just be lame.
watching - probably not

teekyuu 9 - haven't seen any of this before but I want to at some point.
watching - eventually

tenshi no 3P! - lmao
watching - no

the reflection - about superheroes in some vague sense. doesn't appeal to me at all at face value but I'd watch it if it was well-received... which I don't expect.
watching - probably not

tsurezure children - sounds cute and funny.
watching - yes

vatican kiseki chousakan - sounds kind of cool but also looks pretty lame at the same time. will leave this up to reception but I get the sense it will be bad.
watching - probably not

yami shibai 5th season - haven't seen any of this, probably never will.
watching - no

youkai apartment no yuuga na nichijoi - at the beginning of the synopsis, I thought this was going to be a comedy about a main character with luck so bad it continually ruins his life. that idea sounds a lot better than what it's actually about.
watching - no

youkoso jitsuryoku shijou shugi no kyoushitsu e - not in love with the concept but again, comedy is hard to judge that way. romance means I'll probably watch it.
watching - yes

Summer Anime Write-ups part 2

Action Heroine Cheer Fruits - lmao

Centaur no Nayami - More like where is Monster Musume S2. Might still check it out even though centaur girls suck (sorry Mac).

Fate/Apocrypha - I don't know what relation this has to the main series. There sure are a lot of Fate/ stuff.

Hina Logi ~from Luck & Logic~ - There was an actual Luck & Logic show if I recall so this is a spinoff? Not sure I care either way.

Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. - This guy gets accidentally killed, brought back to life by God, gets one wish as an apology and his wish is to keep his fucking smartphone? This guy has to be the biggest dumbass of all time. Says it's a comedy so I might watch if it's good.

Kakegurui - Not sure I care much about the art from the trailer, but people say it's good so I might watch it eventually.

Knight's & Magic - Oh hey another reincarnation plot, but with mecha this time. We'll see.

Made in Abyss - The display cover on anichart looks terrible. Probably wouldn't check it out anyways though.

Nana Maru San Batsu - Comedy about competitive quizzes. I think that might be the first I've seen that premise. If people say it's good I'll check it out.

Princess Principal - The trailer for this was like 2 completely different shows. Part of it seemed like it could be great and the other part seemed like a regular SoL type of series. I'm sure people will check this one out so I'll wait and see what they say.

Shoukoku no Altair - Uh, we'll see maybe? I'm not sure I really care after the description.

Vatican Kiseki Chousakan - So glad JC Staff is doing this instead of more Index or Railgun. Picture makes me think it's yaoi too for some reason despite no tag for that on anichart.

Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e - Sounds like it could possibly be interesting so we'll see.

Part 3 later. Holy shit though I don't have much to say about any of these so far. Nothing has really grabbed me yet.

Watching the Made in Abyss PV, something seemed...off about it, so I ran it through Google image search after seeing it was based on a manga.

Yeah, maybe check that one out.

yes or no, like an abyss it gets darker the deeper you go right?

That seems like it might be the case, purely based on random pages on google.

cant wait for reactions then lol

interesting

I'm on the edge of my seat for swordz9's Owarimonogatari writeup

Summer Anime Write-ups Finale

18if - Adventure show about witches with a description that barely tells you anything. Will consider watching if it's good.

Battle Girl High School - Doesn't really sound amazing, but we'll see. Other girls against invader shows were pretty decent.

Dive!! - lmao

Hajimete no Gal - Ecchi romcom that's also likely a harem. https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/characters/3/331881.jpg I don't really like the designs though so PASS.

Isekai Shokudou - Might check out if people say it's good, but otherwise don't care.

Jikan no Shihaisha - Demons who show up when people wish they could turn back time? Guess they never quit appearing then. We'll see.

Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun - Might be entertaining, but could also be boring.

Kobini Kareshi - SoL convenience store series huh. Might not be bad.

Marvel Future Avengers - LITERALLY THE GREATEST ANIME OF ALL TIME.

Owarimonogatari 2 (I think?) - lmao

Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ - back when this first started I bet nobody thought it would make it to 4 seasons.

The Reflection Wave One - Maybe since superpowers are pretty good stuff.

Overall literally not a single show I am hyped about, but I haven't been watching anime for like a year or more now anyways really. Might get super into it again one day.

That was satisfying
---

I've reached a state of apathy for the series. Same for Shaft in general really.

I have several arcs of Mono to catch up on, but both it and Shaft still have never done me wrong!

Really hyped for Fate/EXTRA.

Guess you didn't watch some of their "GREAT" series then. They have some not so good old stuff and stuff that isn't really new, but only like a couple years old or so. I think Mac is like the ONLY person here who cared about their Sasami-san show.

Well of course it's only the shows I've seen.

Also Ed gave it a 9 and BK gave it an 8 so I'm not the only one who liked it :p

Well I dunno about BK, but I wouldn't be surprised if Eddv gave it a high score because vintage "dark horse" show he likes randomly. I remember he gave that one anime about girls wishing on a rock or something a 9 or 10 while nobody else liked or finished it I think (well aside from finishes basically every anime ever Chrono1219).

lordembok I think?

Nevermind, found it by looking up "anime girls wishing on a rock".

Who needs logic when you're this lucky?

Look at all these gayboys

Ikemen Sengoku: Toki wo Kakeru ga Koi wa Hajimaranai

Using extra punctuation marks to brand something as a sequel or second season is the most moronic thing Japan has ever done as a country.

Nora, Princess, and Stray Cat
That cat has death in his eyes

Owarimonogatari 2nd Season
I've never been more sick of a franchise than I am with Monogatari. I'm not putting myself through this anymore.
---

Piko Tarou no Lullaby Lullaby
Terrifying promo art. Been a while since we had a good horror show. The question is, will it be better than Mayoiga?

Princess Principal

Saiyuuki Reload Blast
A sequel

Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ
Another sequel

I like how I read swordz's and tazzy's writeups and can't even remember what half of the shows are
---

It's sad that the series I'd probably be most into for Summer is literally a fucking short (Netsuzou Trap).
