Board 8 > Anime and Manga Topic 193 Ultimate

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wrote some stuff about Spring 2018 anime. If anyone even remembers my Winter write-ups, these are a lot less polished than those were. I didn't bother describing the plot of the shows or anything, these are just random, spoiler-free opinions. I'd be happy to discuss any of these shows more if anyone is interested, so go ahead and ask if you are! Also, once again, to the people who don't care, I apologize for the incoming four huge posts.

Hinamatsuri (9/10) Anime of the Season
Hinamatsuri is an amazing comedy, always finding new ways to put its fun characters into absurd situations. Hitomi was my favorite character but there honestly wasn't a weak link anywhere in the entire cast. Whether it was Hina lazing about, Anzu's heartwarming qualities, or Nitta just trying to keep his vases safe, Hinamatsuri never failed to put a smile on my face. This was the anime I looked forward to the most every week, so I'm happy to give it the coveted Robazoid's Anime of the Season award!

My Hero Academia S3 (ongoing) (8/10)
MHA overall is a 10/10 for me, but that doesn't mean an individual season will necessarily rank that high. There isn't anything wrong with MHA S3, it still has great characters, awesome fight scenes against cool villains, and emotional plot developments. I guess MHA is just a 'greater than the sum of its parts' thing for me, so this 8/10 season somehow adds into the 10/10 overall.

Katana Maidens (second cour) (8/10)
I really loved the first half of Katana Maidens and I will defend that first cour forever, despite its flaws. The second half, though, even I admit it had problems. There was never a point where it became bad or anything like that, it just failed to live up to the first half or even the potential of its own ideas. Plot elements that should've carried a lot of weight fell flat, for example, and quite a few situations within the main conflict didn't really make a whole lot of sense. With all of that said, I still love Katana Maidens. There were several hype moments in this second half, and it ended decently. Still, that isn't enough for it to remain a 10/10, and I've retroactively revoked its Anime of the Season award to instead give that to Laid-Back Camp. Also, I hope anyone that might've been interested in this show still gives it a chance and doesn't write it off now that the one fan on B8 said a few negative things about it! It's still a lot of fun, it just wasn't perfect and probably won't win anyone over if they don't think they'd enjoy it.

MegaloBox (6/10)
As much as I enjoyed MegaloBox, I still felt there were a lot of flaws holding it back. Most of the fights were formulaic and the main plot itself was rather predictable. Still, MegaloBox shone when it came to setting up character motivations and instilling their actions with emotion, and that was what I enjoyed most about it. The animation and choreography of the characters punching each other wasn't impressive, but it still managed to make me care about who would win and how they'd do it. Good execution like that is worth a lot for me!

Golden Kamuy (6/10)
I've seen the complaints about this anime, and... yeah, it felt low budget at times and the animation wasn't always the best. For people who like manga, reading the manga is probably the better way to go for this story. I don't read manga, however, so I stuck with it and enjoyed the ride! Asirpa was a great character and her dynamic with Sugimoto was always a lot of fun. I also appreciated how the show had a consistent goal regarding the search for the convicts and the gold, even though the opposing factions became muddy at times. This was an exciting adventure and I'm happy it's getting a second season.
---

Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits (ongoing) (6/10)
I have a soft spot for slice-of-life anime that incorporate spiritual elements, like Urara Meirocho and especially Konohana Kitan, and Kakuriyo scratches that same itch even though it isn't anywhere near as good as those other examples. It manages to incorporate the food porn elements into the characters and plot, which I appreciate since food porn on its own is the worst thing ever. Aoi is also a great main character, I love how she isn't a fan of being forced to marry an ogre and is trying to find a way out of it. I'd appreciate it if the plot had a bit more tension and the pacing was a bit faster, but right now I'm happy enough just having a spiritual anime to look forward to every week.

Last Period: Journey to the End of Despair (5/10)
I'll go ahead and be the first one to admit that Last Period is a super lame show. I mean, it's set in one of those ripoff mobile phone games and a lot of plot events and humor are derived from that concept. However, being lame it also what makes it so hilarious. Choco breaking the fourth wall whenever they meet another palette-swapped mayor was great, for example. Wiseman was also the best and I looked forward to seeing them do their dumb intro every episode like this decade's Team Rocket. If you want lame humor that knows not to take itself seriously, look no further than Last Period.

Umamusume: Pretty Derby (4/10)
I have a soft spot for things that are fun, and, despite its flaws, Umamusume was a lot of fun. It wasn't that great as a sports anime, only one or two characters really got any meaningful development, and a lot of the gags were merely okay. However, an anime about horse girls who eat a bunch of carrots and then run in a race and then sing an idol concert after... it's so dumb but it's also fun. That said, it could've been a lot better if it were more competent in other regards so I guess it'll have to be happy with a 4/10.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (4/10)
This anime was fine, I enjoyed watching LLENN during the gunfights and some of the jokes were great (Fuka was amazing). Still, the plot didn't take itself seriously and the comedy just wasn't good enough overall to make up for that. I also really hated how they wrote a few characters, particularly Pito. Basically, I thought this was an okay anime but it wasn't some huge step up from the original SAO like a lot of people seem to think. It's nowhere near the awful lows of the original's fairy arc, but I'd actually rank this season below every other arc in the original SAO without even thinking too hard about it.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (3/10)
This anime started strong, I thought, so I was sad to see how far it fell as the season progressed. After their intriguing early development, the characters entered a kind of stasis, and actually managed to regress in some ways You already kissed her Hirotaka stop fretting about this for fucks sake. Not only that, but the animation became super boring, often having the characters reacting in front of a blank background. I also hated the introduction of Hirotaka's brother. I still remember how bored I was during a five minute scene that was nothing but the characters clicking buttons on a controller while badly narrating how he was failing at Smash Bros.

Comic Girls (2/10)
This is the worst Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime that I have ever seen. The main character, Kaos, never failed to annoy me by... well, always failing at everything. That was literally her only joke, and this was a problem for the rest of the cast too. They all had one tired aspect that got trotted out for tired jokes, over and over. The only reason this didn't rank lower was because cute girls doing cute things still has a certain charm even when it's done poorly, but I didn't like it.
---

Aggretsuko (2/10)
Aggretsuko was, much like Devilman last season, a good anime that just... didn't do anything for me. I didn't hate it, it just failed to resonate with me on such a level that I have no real opinion about it. This is the dividing line between shows that had at least some good qualities and shows that I really didn't like.

Amanchu S2 (2/10)
I loved the first season of Amanchu, it was a solid 9/10. Sadly, this second season somehow managed to screw everything up. Instead of focusing on fun friendship and diving adventures, this season instead introduced weird supernatural aspects and an awful little kid who dragged down every scene they were in. I'm angry at myself for watching this season because it honestly soured my opinion on Amanchu forever.

Tada Never Falls in Love (2/10)
This is a romantic comedy with mediocre comedy and a romance that was half underdeveloped, half mind-numbingly standard. The side characters were also some of the most superfluous, annoying people I've ever seen. The main story might've actually had a chance at being okay if entire episodes weren't wasted on those jokers.

Magical Girl Site (2/10)
This is an anime that revels in torturing its characters, so I'm honestly surprised that I liked it even this much. It helped that it was so over-the-top grim, right from the start, that it immediately became a parody of itself, meaning I couldn't take it seriously. I also actually liked a few of the characters, especially the fun idol girl. Still, since I'm a person who likes to watch things to have fun, and this anime set out to be no fun at all, this score was probably as good as it could've hoped for.

Record of Grancrest War (second cour) (1/10)
My main issue with the first half of Grancrest was the absurd pacing, and the second half definitely didn't fix that. However, it also introduced a whole bunch of new problems that further dragged the anime down. The animation frequently fell apart, there were info-dumps galore, and the already bland characters found new ways to become uninteresting. This was kind of fun in the first cour when it acted like a mindless Dynasty Warriors ripoff but this second half was too janky to even have that going for it.

Darling in the FranXX (second cour) (1/10)
I have literally no good things to say about this anime. Instead of listing everything in a big rant, just consider any aspect of the show and assume that I hated it. Yes, even Zero-Two. Especially Zero-Two.

hey roba go read the manga for Hinamatsuri

Start from the beginning.
---

If I ever start reading manga, Hinamatsuri would be one of the first I'd look into! Right now though, I'm just too cheap to buy physical copies and I don't like reading comic-type things on a computer.
---

Is not fair to rate a show you didn't watch? <_<
---

I watched all of those. You might be talking about FranXX since I said I'd drop it at one point but I wound up sticking with it.
---

how many season until Roba gives up on the seasonal writeups?
---

http://anichart.net/Summer-2018

It's here.

ISLAND is 10:30 est tomorrow. Hanebado at noon. Both Crunchyroll times.
---

So does anything next season actually look good? I glanced through anichart but nothing actually caught my eye.
---

Attack on Titan & Overlord Season 3
Volleyball anime
Badminton anime
Grand Blue (may be a case of 'read the manga' though)
more Hero Academia
something else i'm forgetting
---

GGO yuri end.

Chio-chan

Banana Fish
Overlord
Tonegawa
Cells at Work
Tenrou
Happy Sugar Life

Of course some of those may not pan out, plenty of other shows I won't know until they air.
---

that seems like way too many low scores. why don't you just drop shows earlier?

i rarely end up with scores below 5 because i don't want to spend the time watching a show that's that bad.

it's the way of b8anime members to finish shows regardless of your opinion of it until you either get burnt out altogether or you're already insane/a glutton for punishment
---

If I'm not into it after three it gets dropped.

Generally speaking I also follow the 3 episode rule. If a show has a promising start that drops in quality at 3, I might give it 1 or 2 more. Ex, Horse Girls and Ore.
---

Roba uses the full range of scores but I find it hard to believe Grancrest and FranXXX are that bad
---

Finished out GGO. Solid 6/10. Above average, but nothing special. Huge, huge step forward from the main series. Highlight of the show was Team Literally Who gunning down Protags after that long drawn out fight. Beautiful. Never saw it coming.

lmao banana fish
---

Should elaborate on Amanchu IMO Roba.

Also you should probably drop more shows...

Also hating on Kaos make me sad she is the best.

Also you should post your favorite character(s) of the season.

also this was literally a still shot that lasted 10 seconds

holy shit why is episode 18's animation so bad please tell me it gets better in later eps again

It's mostly just a quirk of how I rank things. I have ten anime at 10/10, ten at 1/10. Fifteen at both 9/10 and 2/10, seventeen at both 8/10 and 3/10, and so on (though I haven't quite filled out the middle ranks yet). I try to keep it all even, and this way the truly good shows slowly rise as I watch more things and bad shows slowly fall. I don't mind finishing junk sometimes because at least it fills out the lower ranks, otherwise actual good shows might eventually get pushed down to 2/10.

The numeric rankings are a bit misleading though. Anything above 2/10 is something I was at least glad to have watched.

FranXX I'll admit is probably just an irrational burning hatred, but Grancrest really was just a bad anime. I don't even hate it, it just wasn't good.

Has the best preview of the season. Directing, style, and animation look super cool.

Who cares if it's yaoi as long as it's good? We'll see how it goes.

Mac Arrowny posted...

Sure! Spoilers for Amanchu S2 (though if you don't want the spoiler version, it mostly comes down to a bad arc and a terrible new character just straight-up ruining 2/3 of the season).

The biggest issue was the three episode dream arc... man that was terrible. It was like it wanted to be one of the supernatural Aria episodes, but those were only one episode each. They weren't a three episode mini-arc where Akari falls in love with the ghost of a teen who winds up being Mr. Mailman or some shit. Aria also took place on a futuristic Mars so outlandish things weren't as hard to swallow. Amanchu S1 was down-to-earth friendship moments and now S2 is introducing dream worlds and it just doesn't work. Four episodes out of twelve heavily featured dream shenanigans so already 33% of the season was garbage. Then we have Kokoro, who heavily feature in an additional four episodes, bringing the total for trash this season to a solid 66%. He's a standoffish little boy who didn't fit into the group dynamic at all, I hated him. Also, I'm not one of those people who expected Teko and Pikari to get into a lesbian relationship, that was never going to happen and I don't care if they find a love interest (honestly, that poor dude in the diving club could use some attention from someone other than his sister). But when the show tries to ship Pikari, one of my favorite anime characters, with a terrible little boy... no, I'm sorry Amanchu S2, you've lost me forever. The remaining four episodes were okay I guess but I just can't get past the flaws.

Mac Arrowny posted...

Also you should post your favorite character(s) of the season.

Hitomi, Anzu, and Hina from Hinamatsuri, Aoi from Kakuriyo, Nanbu from MegaloBox, and Asirpa from Golden Kamuy were the ones new to this season to reach my top 100 anime characters. Asirpa was my favorite.

Mac Arrowny posted...

Yeah, the quality comes and goes a bit in the second cour but that's just them saving the budget for a few neat moments to really make them count. I'm bad at noticing quality stuff in general though.

---

Thoughts on stuff i'm watching. Scores rankings after everything is done.

My Hero Academia S3
-If I had any complaints it's that there is still no real obvious planning change for UA after the villain attack. Like they've talked about changes but for MHA to really enter into top tier discussion as an anime series it needs to challenge the characters in more than just putting a bad guy in front of them. That said most of the third season has been great. The overall presence each character has is really portrayed very well. It's just unfortunate character growth has been so slow compared to the story progress. I might be over critical here but I think that this season has been a decent step down from the second one.

Steins;Gate 0
-As of right now this is AotY and it's not close. Something insanely good is going to have to come out to really surpass this. This uses what you know of the previous show very well and really hits a lot of those emotional notes. On top of that it has a really good mix of a lot of animesque elements in there that just flow nicely into each other. It's interesting because this version of Okarin is pretty lame actually, but the supporting cast really has stepped up imo especially Mayuri. If you'd ask me it's not as good as the original but that's a like nearly impossibly high mark to set.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
-I liked this but I do think it was kind of off balanced a bit. At times Llenn was a total monster and others she was like kind of eh. I get what they were trying to go for but I would have rather her personality be more consistent within the game and have her hurdles be more mechanical than personal issues in this case. The action was really good and I also like Llenn's friend. But Pito was incredibly boring as an antagonist and the way they like set her up is pretty awful too.

Food Wars S3-2
-I don't have a lot to say about this except that imo this is one of the best parts of the manga. Food Wars is the only active show I've followed the manga.

Megalo Box
-I thought this was a great show. I do think that it was a little too predictable maybe and that the set up for like a "villain" in the middle of the season was maybe a little meh, but overall this was very satisfying. There were a couple of things that happened in the later episodes though I didn't quite expect, which was welcome. The creator was sincere in making the characters, if that makes sense. I do think that this show doesn't work though if it uses a different aesthetic.

High School DxD Hero
-There's still an episode left, but I do actually know what happens. I like this season. It's a lot better than the previous one which was way too serious (I also think it was like anime original? I don't remember... it was like weird). Like at first I thought the entire thing with the boob dragon song was pretty lame. I still think it's lame but they keep running the gag and it actually gets pretty funny, especially when you think that it's like a bunch of little kids and their parents. In any case it's like not a great show, like nowhere near as good as the first couple of seasons, but still a good piece of entertainment.

Hinamatsuri
-This is the comedy of the season. I think the part I laughed the hardest at was when Hina's friend tried to do telekinesis in class. I really like the way each of the characters personalities shine through and how the comedy and development is built mainly upon their flaws.

Golden Kamuy
-Okay so this show could have been really good. Like Sugimoto is a fucking badass. However, the production quality is so bad. Like just some of the directorial choices here too are awful. It also doesn't help that I feel like nothing really happens that was of major consequence? Like they just seemed to be going around in circles. It's hard to even know if they are getting any closer to getting the gold.
---

Comic Girls
-Liked this a lot more as the show went on where I think this is a pretty good show now. I still don't think the cast was like amazing, especially when I compare it to what is probably the closest think I can think of in New Game. I also think Kaos is pretty great, probably the best character in the show.

Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory
-I'm watching this. I'll give thoughts when I finish it.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV)
-This is another show I thought was better near the end. I do think it kind of lapsed in the middle, but the overall quality was steady imo. If I had to break this down the problem is that this show tries to be a sports show AND a show about cute girls at the same time and it's only like okay at both. Like look at something like Keijo which is a sports show and a show about boobs and butts and it's great at both. I mean if you take a really great sports show like Haikyuu or Chihayafuru just the feeling of intensity as they play oozes from the screen. Keijo (a show that's not as good as those) really got that intensity right in ways I feel that Uma Musume does not. Mostly because races in Uma Musume are... well... really short because they are horse(girl) races. So like even things like the build up and training etc are not that exciting.

Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi
-I like this anime a lot. I think the cast is really fun and just the overall feel is probably the most pleasant of things airing right now. Aoi is probably the best new female character of this season. This also has what might be my favorite opening of the season as well.

Dragon Pilot
-So when I found out who wrote this it made a lot of sense. Like as I was watching this I could not help but think "this is giving off like Kiznaiver type vibes". Like just the dialogue and the way the relationships were being built. I know I mentioned this before but this show is really stupid. More than like this is anime and the story is dumb, but like the story telling is dumb.

Amanchu! Advance
-I also mentioned this before but the second season is like... not good. I still like the cast and the comedy is good. But the feel of the show is just off.

Last Period
-This show is a good type of dumb. It's nothing special, like it's something that could have probably just pushed out episodes if they gave the main characters an actual goal or something we could track. I do think that it's kind of weird that the side characters in the Wisemen are so much better than the main cast. Really the wisemen are so great.

Record of Grancrest War
-So like a lot of this show should be really exciting. It has all the pieces for a good show but it's just so boring. Like there's development, fights, sex, etc... but it's done in like the most boring ways you can ever do it.

Darling in the Franxx
-So I could write a lot about this but I'm getting tired. This is probably one of the worst paced shows that has aired recently. The way the story is presented and developed is bad. The characters are largely unlikable and have janky development. The actual story is really dumb. This is like an anime was a mistake type show. What a train wreck.

I read the thoughts for the shows that I've seen. There were a few minor differences in opinion, as to be expected, but overall I'm actually surprised how much we agreed about a lot of things! Thanks for taking the time to write all that up.

Also since my ranking system was discussed earlier, I figured I may as well just post a full list if anyone is interested. Stuff shifts around semi-often as I watch more things and my opinions change over time but this is all mostly set in stone. This is 130 finished or near-finished anime, one still airing into next season, two I've only seen one season of that I intend to finish and one series of anime movies (making the list 134 total). I had to cut a few subtitles to fit it all in one post but they all should still be clear.

I will say this next arc of HeroAca is probably one of the weakest in the series so far for me, but weak for this series is still like, damn good with some highlight moments. And maybe in anime form it'll make it even better.

However, the end of the season I'm HIGHLY anticipating if it's gonna end where most people think it will
---

I still haven't finished a lot of stuff yet but I'll try and post thoughts on what I have watched when I get home.

The short version is Steins;Gate 0 > HeroAca S3 >>> everything else
