Im actually doing a QC for a brand new patch that fully retranslates Agehas route (I know that one yore referring to) and its MUCH more readable than that other patch.

This patch is looking to come out by early-mid 2018

Nice, I'm looking forward to it then! I can handle typos or poor grammar but Ageha's route went past that to the point where I just couldn't follow what was going on. Still, I enjoyed Kotori's route and I wanted to follow the characters a bit more so this is good to hear.

Working on a VN project is interesting too, good luck with it!

First a Captain Tsubasa mobile game came out this year, last week even for Global.

Now there's a new anime coming in Spring:

Hmm, is the movie or TV version considered better for Washio Sumi?
---

Got caught up on Girls' Last Tour. Good chance I make a more detailed post once it actually finishes, but pretty much this show is my shit. I won't say every episode is a winner, but some (most) of these are pretty freaking great.
---

Trails in the Sky has an anime, eh? Any good? Haven't played the games.
---

No it's terrible
---

i have no idea but considering it's a video game adaptation i'm going to wager it's terrible.

I'll probably get that bundle even though I own a few of those VNs already. I've only played If My Heart Had Wings out of those, though. It had its moments and the main route was fine. Then I could only make it twenty minutes into a second route before severe translation issues made me stop, and that was after I applied a fan patch! Still, the main route was good.

What all do you already have? There are a couple things on there I was kind of interested in getting but didn't feel like paying lower tiers for a couple things I wanted and then giving away not even the full Higarashi to someone.

It turns out I only owned If My Heart Had Wings and eden*. I thought I owned one of the Love Kami's too but it turns out I only wishlisted it.

Still, let me know if either of those is what you wanted!

I've finished the first season of New Game! It was definitely good but I still think Working!! is the superior workplace-focused comedy anime. Maybe the second season will put New Game! over the top, I guess I'll see.

Since I'm apparently a slave to whatever the background ad on Crunchyroll is, I also watched the first episode of Urahara on a whim. It was... unique? I don't think I would call it good but I had a weird sensation of wanting to watch more despite that. I guess I'll give it a few more episodes.

I haven't watched it, but I mean they are taking a story that is 100 hours of game time minimum and trying to present it in the equivalent of 4 normal length TV episodes. There's pretty much no way it ends well.

Fucking FINALLY we get a Steins;Gate 0 zero PV.

Both were actually ones I wanted, but obviously should only claim one, and I've vowed to eventually get IMHHW myself eventually. So Eden pls? (plus it's only $1 tier)

WINTER 2018 WRITE-UPS FOR NERDS

https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/2018/winter

25-sai no Joshikousei
Seems like a half-assed attempt at making a pro-teacher/student relationship less creepy, much like how these write-ups are a half-assed attempt at being funny.

Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls
Never seen S1, but I have it on DVD for literally no reason.

Beatless
Is robot sex really gonna live up to the expectations?

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc
Had no idea this was happening. Pretty pumped! Hopefully it doesn't wind up like DGM or Blue Exorcist...

Citrus
I'm interested if it's an actual romance and not bad ecchi.

Dagashi Kashi 2
More hentai is all I ask in order to make this atrocity worthwhile.

Dame x Prince Anime Caravan
No description but that is a lot of beautiful boys.

Darling in the FranXX
LWA sold me on Trigger. Looking forward to this!

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody
Kinda sick of this trend of shows about loser nerds going to a fantasy world to live out their dreams of becoming a pedophile.

Fate/Extra Last Encore
Saber's boobs look weird in that pic.

Gakuen Babysitters
This sounds really interesting, but my God is that character art disgustiung.

gdMen
Fucking what?

Gin no Guardian 2nd Season
Thank God, I was desperately waiting for a sequel to Gin no Guardian. Glad it's finally here.

Hakata Pork Bones Ramens
Could this be the next Akame ga Kill???

Hakumei to Mikochi
That promo art is at least 5 pixels.

Hakyuu Houshin Engi
I think when the only adjective to describe a demon that kills a bunch of your family and friends is, "beautiful", you're in for a bad shounen. ps isn't this that thing lefty is obsessed with or something?

Hataraku Onii-san!
Furries

Hugtto! Precure
What is this? It reminds me of the American-made children's television show, Glitter Force.

Inazma Delivery: Dougyousha Attack-hen
Further proof that some animals just shouldn't drive.

Ito Junji: Collection
In order to give a true opinion on this show I would have to know what it's adapting, and one click on the MAL page shows me that it's not worth commenting on with integrity.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
This actually sounds like the dumbest thing ever, but it's manga has a good score soooo... hype?

Killing Bites
I posted...

Furries

Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
This is probably gonna be hard to watch, but I likely will and feel depressed about it.

Kokkoku
That all just sounds comedically elaborate.

Mameneko
Just here for integrity tbqh

Miira no Kaikata
Making mummies into adorable mascot characters? Won't be long until we just start looking at mummy porn.

Mitsuboshi Colors
Not gonna lie, this sounds adorable.

Mrchen Mdchen
Another fantasy slice of life? Sign me up boys!

Nanatsu no Bitoku
Some shitty spin-off to a shitty show that sucks and is lame because...

Nanatsu no Taizai: Imashime no Fu/k/katsu
The true Seven Deadly Sins is coming back baby! Time for absurd displays of power from fun and memorable characters yet again! One of the best shounens of the past few years and the art is great fuck you all.

Overlord II
Why is Madhouse doing a sequel?

Poputepipikku
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spongebob/images/d/dc/Pinhead_Larry.png/revision/latest?cb=20170408071442

Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san
Just read the description. It's funnier than any of the shit I can come up with.

Ryuuou no Oshigoto!
Oh cool, a show about March Comes in Like a Lion.

Saiki Kusuo no -nan 2
I should get around to watching S1...

Sanrio Danshi
So many beautiful boys

Slow Start
God, it's so fucking embarrassing when I have to hang out with people a year younger than me.

Takunomi.
Alcohol is not delicious, this show is trash.

Toji no Miko
So glad the government finally stepped up on sword regulation

Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru 2
Thank God, I was desperately waiting for a sequel to Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru. Glad it's finally here.

Uchuu yori mo Tooi Basho
Why would high school girls want to go to the South Pole? There are no memes there.

Yowamushi Pedal: Glory Line
Another sequel

Yuru Camp
Thought this read "Yuri Camp" at first and I'm much less interested now.

Watching:
Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Arc

Fun fact: Seven Deadly Sins' Japanese title is illegal to post on Gamefaqs.com

Nanatsu no Taizai?

Seven Deadly Sins is a fun time. Artstyle is one of the strong points.

Anichart has Dagashi Kashi 2 listed in the shorts section...
---

Citrus isnt too ecchi. Just full of trashy drama.

And I love it for that.
---

I have a noob question since you guys have been around for new seasons and I haven't yet. Will there eventually be a list of what will be available on Crunchyroll or do I have to wait until the season starts and see what's there? Google isn't being as helpful as I'd like, I'm only finding a few individual announcements.

I want to read about upcoming anime and get hyped but I just know something I really like the sound of will only be on Amazon Strike and that isn't available in Canada even if I wanted to pay for it...
---

Crunchy will announce it themselves ahead of time but by that I mean like maybe a week ahead of time typically.
---

as far as I know it's usually individual announcements for each show. maybe crunchyroll eventually posts a total lineup closer to the 'start' of a season, but not sure
---

Crunchy usually reveals their simulcast schedule about a week before the season starts. Sometimes a couple sneak in early.
---

Cool, thanks everyone. I'll wait for that then

dear god this list looks like a disaster waiting to happen

also if this topic isn't full by the top of the hour I'm putting a new one up then because after that I cease to be reliably available tonight

Thanks for finding this for me, I'm bad at googling. I looked them all up and will at least try everything that isn't a continuation (so not Cardcaptor or (I think) Basilisk). Death March sounds really generic though, and I haven't even watched the shows it feels like a generic copy of yet.

I'm especially hyped for Franxx and Citrus!
---

Speaking of Citrus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJCJ_MV0BWc

Same as the old trailer, but subbed.

Production looks pretty standard, but hopefully serviceable.

I'm all about whatever Franxx ends up being.
---

when was the last time A-1 or Trigger (Gainax? or Klockworx?) made a good mecha? 3.33?

this should be hype, but I'm cautiously optimistic at best
---

I mean, it's not like Aldnoah was straight up bad, it had a fantastic soundtrack and was at least good in the first half. Second season was bad but still.
---

I wonder if I'll ever get to the point where I know the anime companies. Like, I mentioned Red Data Girl once in Leon's topic and it seemed like people instantly knew who made it and what other shows they'd also created. I was impressed considering that was just some random anime I picked and it was a few years old!
---

Aldnoah was primarily Troyca.
---

Oh huh... So Troyca really knows how to turn good shows to shit then. Didn't really pay attention to that fact since they were a no name then... Now they have another big show that also ended pretty badly.

You'll instantly recognize some studios like Kyoani (dragon maid) and PA Works (RDG) after seeing more of their anime. Both have extremely smooth animations. Kyoani usually has very thick outlines for character art to appear cartoonish while PAW has thin outlines going for more realistic proportions. Unfortunately they don't have any anime in the upcoming season.

This. Shaft and Trigger also have distinct styles... mostly in the lack of human physics in the former rather than any drawing you'd recognize them for. Trigger only has a few things out but it's pretty easy to look at Franxx and recognize that it's the same people that did KlK from the key visual.
---

I'll give Roba probably 2-3 more seasons before he recognizes studios and seiyuu
---

I still don't recognize studios.
