  1. You might get a kick out of Kenzen Robo Daimidaler Watch the dub though, it's comedy gold. Oh and nudity warning. Lots and lots of nudity lol.
  2. Haaaaaave you seen the SAO spinoff, Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online? I know some people miss out on it, but I unironically believe it's the most well-written bit of animated SAO out there.
  3. Senki Zesshou Symphogear (Has 5 seasons, it's a good time) Megalo Box (Check out the dub, it's fantastic) Tsuki ga Kirei (ONLY watch the sub, the dub is hilariously bad. Also, pay attention to the credits of the final episode.) Run with the Wind
  4. If you're a fan of action stuff, check out Senki Zesshou Symphogear Probably one of the best action anime around and not a damn soul knows about it. It also has 5 seasons, 65 episodes total, so it's reasonably long. Check this scene out if you're wondering what it's like. https://streamable.com/s/fs4vl/qkmkei
  5. Tsuki ga Kirei Hourou Musuko One Week Friends (bearing in mind however, it is NOT a romance, it's a friendship thing. There's still a bunch of similarities though.)
  6. Bumping for the sake of bumping, since I'm actually still alive, and that's a dead link. Have some Sforzando from Symphogear XV
  7. Symphogear XV has hit 8.5 on MAL, RIIIIISE MY PRECIOUS, RIIIIIIIIISE!

      That’s awesome 👏 New series must be brilliant. Still haven’t watched any myself, but I have been looking through your threads 

  8. Pardon me breaking my own established rules, but if mine didn't work, round 2 XD Solid 7/10, but I feel like I could really catch onto it if I listened to it more than once as I went through the show lol ROUND TWO: Final Commander - Symphogear XV
  9. Obligated to mention that Trigger didn't actually make FranXX. They HELPED, but it was A1 that did most of the everything. Trigger only actually properly worked on 6 episodes total, their last episode being ep. 14. It isn't even on their website lmao http://www.st-trigger.co.jp/works/
  10. Symphogear XV- SOLID 10, WOOOOOO (But seriously this show has been nothing but awesome, truly a great finale for a 7-year-long franchise) O Maidens in Your Savage Season - Easy 9 right now! (great romance/drama, with some equally great comedy to boot! Can't wait to see where this one is going!) Cop Craft - Definitely an 8 right now. (Loving this show, despite its animation issues, it's always a fun watch.) Granbelm - Also an 8! (Awful MAL score that doesn't reflect how good it is, but has a rather interesting plot so far and some AWESOME animation. Which is important for an action series.) Astra Lost in Space - Third 8! (Super corny show, but I can't help but enjoy it. Super quality popcorn entertainment.) Shounen Maid - 7 so far! (Surprisingly heartwarming! Not ALL the jokes land, but absolutely not a dealbreaker. I can see this maybe even going to an 8 if it manages to land the emotional stuff later on.) Danmachi S2 - 4 out of 10! (This season of Danmachi is somehow worse than the first season! I would list all my complaints but I'd be here a while.)
  11. I could see this really working when tied to a scene properly. It's not particularly stand-out, I feel like I've heard a lot of rather similar tracks, but that doesn't mean it's at all bad. Solid 7.5/10 Final Commander - Symphogear XV
  12. Lack of justification? The Symphogear wielders are the only thing standing between the villains and the Earth getting blown up in most cases o.o I'm really not sure what's particularly contrived about it, though GX's biggest downfall was its writing, I'll admit that much. Regardless, you'll probably be glad to know that AXZ and XV are the best the series has literally ever been. The writing is similar, yet different, with a lot of focus on tying past events together and just doing a whole lot of neat stuff. They also realized basically all of their past mistakes and either didn't repeat them, or literally went out of their way to fix some iffy stuff. Not to mention that AXZ and XV were announced at the same time, so the story for those two is particularly well done since it was planned 2 seasons in advance. So you shouldn't have any issues with AXZ or XV. As for hype? Yeah Symphogear literally always one-ups itself, basically without fail. XV is chilling at 8.37 on MAL right now, placing it at the 5th most popular airing show this season. Which is insane lol. AXZ doesn't pull any punches either, it was just damn good. A lot of people describe AXZ as "GX but actually good." As well, AXZ has far better animation than GX does, while XV is just absolutely phenomenal. Like look at this animation: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/82691
  13. The scene you saw was from Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/3e0e64e8127b83ad777cdbafcc2c39ed.webm https://www.sakugabooru.com/data/f38b555e6e0a60746f34d1b2f424a696.webm Great show, fantastic animation. BUT, do know, it has a special watch order you NEED to follow, which I will now post: How to watch: Yozakura Quartet Completely skip the original Yozakura Quartet - https://myanimelist.net/anime/4548/Yozakura_Quartet Start with Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta - https://myanimelist.net/anime/18497/Yozakura_Quartet__Hana_no_Uta (Watch episodes 1-8) Next complete Yozakura Quartet: Hoshi no Umi - https://myanimelist.net/anime/8457/Yozakura_Quartet__Hoshi_no_Umi Then go back and finish Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta After that, complete Yozakura Quartet: Tsuki ni Naku - https://myanimelist.net/anime/18499/Yozakura_Quartet__Tsuki_ni_Naku
  14. I could ramble for ages, but I can't contain myself with episode 8 having just come out. So instead, simply look at this. Bask in the hype. Holy shit. But don't spoil yourself if you haven't caught up properly. Also, feel free to chat about the show in general I suppose.
  15. Over all my time mingling in anime communities, I've noticed a very strange trend with a lot of people. "I don't like anime movies." But why the hell not? So that brings the question to the table... WHY? I can't quite comprehend why people would inherently love an anime SERIES, over watching an anime MOVIE, to the extent that they wouldn't want to watch ANY anime movies. I'll be honest, my usual immediate response is "Just watch better movies." (But they don't often like that answer.) And realistically speaking here, the only difference between a good anime series, and a good anime movie, is their length. A lot of people see that length difference as a problem though? In my eyes, they're simply failing to understand that while a show is crafted to be a 4-8 hour experience, a movie is crafted to tell its narrative in just 1-2 hours. Because it's crafted in that way, a good movie will have absolutely no problems getting the viewer invested in the story it's trying to tell. There's a reason movies are so bloody successful... well, damn near everywhere. And whenever people look me dead in the eyes and say that anime movies aren't as good as anime series... I wish to strangle some people. Anyways, would love to hear your thoughts. Do you prefer series to movies? Movies to series? "Whatever is made well"? Chat about it.
  16. Ayyy I reeled someone in ;D Would love to hear your thoughts when you get around to it :P
  17. Flip Flappers Sounds cutesy as hell, looks cutesy as hell, but is one of the coolest shows out there, made by the fantastic Studio 3Hz! Did I mention it's technically an isekai? Except instead of being transported to another world and getting stuck there, they travel to all sorts of different fantasy worlds to get shit done. This plotpoint allows them some VERY extreme freedom, leading up to the ability to utilize damn near any genre it feels like. One episode you'll have a Mad Max tribute with some seriously awesome fight scenes: Another episode you'll have genuinely effective horror: All nicely tied together by fantastic animation and an absolutely killer soundtrack. One last thing! Did I mention it's an anime original? It has no source material, basically. Translation: It has no source to follow, therefore, it tells its story at its own proper pace, and ACTUALLY HAS AN ENDING. Enjoy.
  18. How on Earth did nobody mention Kubikiri Cycle (Other title: The Beheading Cycle) 12 people are on a secluded island in a mansion. 5 Geniuses, people who are the absolute masters of their respective fields. Nobody else in the world can best them in those topics. 4 Maids. The head maid, and the 3 triplet maids. 2 Assistants. They tagged along with a few of the geniuses to simply help them out. The protagonist is one of them. And finally, the owner of the mansion, who invites these geniuses to her mansion purely for entertainment, and to have interesting people to speak to. One night, one of them is decapitated. They need to figure out who did it, before more people die.
  19. This'll do. 1. Senki Zesshou Symphogear 2. Gurren Lagann 2. Kill la Kill 2. Clannad 2. Katanagatari 2. ef: a tale of memories. 2. Tsuki ga Kirei 2. Kokoro Connect 2. Golden Time
  20. No game, unless you want to count the crappy mobile game, or that one time the main trio was tossed into Super Heroine Chronicles, which I'm not gonna count lmao Purely an anime original series, fueled by the creators actually wanting to make the thing lol
  21. Senki Zesshou Symphogear This is one of Japan's top selling anime, with 5 seasons, over the course of the past 7 years. Season 3 was #1 in sales for its season, while season 4 was ALSO #1 in sales for its season. AND season 3 beat ONE PUNCH MAN for the ENTIRE YEAR. And it isn't popular in the absolute bloody slightest outside of Japan. I'm confused too, don't worry. But if you want one of the best hype action shows of the decade, Symphogear is for you. It does damn near everything that people love about shounen action shows, except it does them far better than most actual shounens, despite Symphogear not actually being a shounen. AND it's a fucking musical. Didn't see that coming, did you. It ain't cutesy, it lives off of the rule of cool and more or less can't go more than 5 minutes without something exploding or it dies, with music that's about as cool as that whole concept is. Watch this scene, and witness our beloved main character parry tank shells with her bare fists. https://streamable.com/s/fs4vl/qkmkei Watch Order: Symphogear (a bit rough, don't judge the show based on this season. Still good, just not peak Symphogear.) Symphogear G (This is where Symphogear actually starts to shine, and it stays that way. A shitty side studio fucked up the first season, so they fired them and swapped out 90% of the staff and you're left with a season that's vastly superior to the first in absolutely every god damn way you could ever expect. Get. To. This. Season.) Symphogear GX (It got even prettier.) Symphogear AXZ (The animation got better.) Symphogear XV (Airing right now, and is really turning out to be a proper culmination and finale of 7 years of a franchise.) OOOOO Now that you've been so heartily informed of the best show ever, I'd love to hear what any of you think of it. First impressions based on this thread maybe, or impressions from you going to watch it! It's my favourite show by a mile, so I assure you I'm more than willing to chat your ear off about it, and if you aren't impressed by it... well, leave it to me
  22. A solid "good" Don't think I'd ever stay to listen to it, but a decent song. 7/10 Metanoia - Senki Zesshou Symphogear XV (Ignore the debatable quality and awkward fade out to end the song, we only have a radio rip to go off of lol)
  23. For DxD, I'll relate this rec to "ecchi with good plot" Punchline It seems terrible, but it isn't! It even has a proper ending, so that's neat. As for FranXX, just watch Gurren Lagann. it's effectively FranXX but way better. I also highly suggest the dub for this one.
  24. Even if you pay for every legal anime streaming service available to English speaking audiences, you won't get everything. As such, I don't think I can say names, but free sites aren't as bad as they're made out to be. Watch what you can legally if you'd like, but just remember that even if you're paying around $40-$50 a month for a load of streaming services, you won't get everything. A fantastic way to give back to the industry is to buy blurays, so doing that is an option as well if you so choose to ever get into free sites. I only offer this up as a very viable option, simply because it is a very viable option, and one that should be greatly considered rather than being locked out of seeing certain series because of dumb licensing fees.
