    How do you eat a Taiyaki?

    So it’s often debated whether one should eat the head or tail of this delicious fish-shaped waffle filled with redbean paste, but it really is such a mundane topic, it really shouldn't matter which way you decide to dig in.

    But how do you prefer to start your taiyaki eating?

    Personally I eat the head first since it just makes more sense, and since there's no paste in the fins or tail you can use that to help tone down the paste in the rest of the fish.

    Sure have! =D

    The story is very well thought out and the way it's executed works to invoke character development because they begin to learn more about eachother, and end up learning how to deal with the problems present in their life as a result. I would recommend checking it out, as it really is a beautiful series.

    Nah, I understand. I don't really like to have a definitive rating for a song after just one listen, sometimes you have to get used to it. 8.2 for your song. It's good, but I feel like there's something I would change about it.

    I think I understand Natsume's character now. Like you say she's confused. She doesn't know what she wants or what she needs, and even if she did, her feelings would likely get in the way of both either way. Like Eita said her entry exams are a excuse to put off having to decide how to go about her life, and her hanging out with Eita is likely to avoid having to think about it.

    She doesn't understand herself, that's my take on her anyways.

    and I made a mistake in my comment it should have read he had told to her as in Eita Izumi as he walked past her

    Yeah I think that's what threw me off. So do you think she'll murder Eita or Hatsuki?

    @Wodahs I'm not quite sure what you mean, can you post a picture of it? If you're worried about spoiling things, you can always use spoiler quotations although I think they might be a bit screwy now.

     

    Also I got it wrong. It actually wasn't Eitana, but rather it was Enata!

    I've been trying out every anime I could for the last few weeks, and I'll be happy to share my opinions with everyone. The list is a little lengthy but if you want you can just go ahead and skip to ones in your favorite genres. The ones I picked up as anime are in bold, the ones I picked up as manga are in italic.

    EDIT: I have updated the list to include ratings for each entity.

    Comment: Your enjoyment of this series will increase based on how knowledgeable about anime you are, so I cannot in good faith recommend this to someone who is relatively new to anime. This is a feel-good series, so the plot isn't very important but it's not a terrible one. Unlike a lot of moe anime, there are some guys thrown into the mix as well, the characters are well diversed and represents different types of otaku. It's also fun trying to guess who the OTP is.

    Comment: It's basically about a cafe where the waitresses have to act according to their assigned characters, run by Tamaki Suoh himself, Dino. Their true personality doesn't have anything to do with the characters they're assigned. I didn't particularly enjoy the two chapters I read, but maybe try it for yourself to see if you like it?

    Comment: If you've seen the first season then you know what you're in for, however, this time it seems like there will be a bigger focus on the relationship between her and friends. Maybe she will actually grow as a person and become more of the elegant young lady she presents herself as? Maybe they can fulfill the pairings they set up last season?

    Comment: Ecchi trash. So the first five minutes is one of the most disturbing things I have ever experienced. But the rest of the episode is pretty chill in comparison. The characters consist of a one-dimensional siscon, a best friend character who would make for a much better protagonist and...we don't need to mention the other ones. At the end of the episode it seems like there might actually be a plot, it'll just be buried under the mountain of ecchi.

    Comment: It has a unique concept, I'm not quite sure where they're going with it but it's executed well enough. The tone of the series is dramatic, while the story is kind of sad. It is a bit hard to tell what gender characters are though.

    Comment: I'm reading the manga, because I was going to anyways. The story is pretty good, it has sweet moments but also much darker ones as well. The two main characters are good in their own right and Chise doesn't feel like your usual heroine. I wonder where they'll take this concept?

    Comment: It's about a type of racing that involves motorcycle with sidecars, which is something I've never seen before but apparently it actually exists. The characters are more or less all cute girls, and there is a large focus on the character development between the heroines. The animation is stiff in some instances, but they do a great job overall.

    Comment: Ecchi trash, which is weird for a josei series. The story is not very good because of the pacing that makes it clear that they just wanted to get to the ecchi, and they wouldn't need to hurry if the episodes were more then five minutes long, but I still wouldn't watch it even if there was a good story.

    Comment: I wouldn't advise against picking this up. The story is good, but you'll likely see plot twists coming from a kilometer away. The fights are good, but if characters get separated then it seems they think that switching between them every page or two is a good thing. But there's teamwork which is something a lot of action anime lack and that's a shame since action is honestly better when characters work together to take down a foe. So it's not going to blow your mind, but I'd still recommend it nevertheless.

    Comment: Unlike isekai anime like Sword Art Online, the main character is simply playing a MMORPG instead of fighting for their life. The concept is pretty interesting, but to tell you why would spoil the story. This is actually my personal favorite series this season, it's very refreshing to see a couple gets along from the beginning and I find their romance to be very sweet.

    Comment: It starts out with a girl getting sent to another world, Persona 5-style. There isn't much explaination as to who she is or what's going on. It's clear that this series is more about the Bishounen then anything else, so if that's what you're into.

    Comment: I've seen three episodes of this. It's kind of like Deadman Wonderland but not as good, or if you didn't like that one then this one will simply be no better. The whole point in the anime is to get people to stop spending so much time on the internet, but unless they're trying to use reverse psychology, I fail to see how this could convince anyone to spend more time IRL. Oh well, I expected this to be a dumb series anyways and I have to question why I even bothered with it to begin with.

    Comment: It's a series about alcohol and how moe people can be when they're drunk, though I don't drink that much so this doesn't really appeal to me. Each chapter focuses on a different recipe and even includes it at the end so you can make it yourself.

    Comment: This series almost convinced me that they knew what they were talking about with fashion. But if there is going to be any anime about fashion this season, then this isn't it, instead they decided to focus on the heroines transforming to fight off a alien race that apparently are all too stupid to have a original thought. But it's clear that this isn't supposed to be a serious show anyways, well at least the relationship between the characters was kind of sweet.

    Comment: It's about a girl who comes onto her boyfriend...who asked her out just five seconds ago, then continues to make inappropiate comments and such. The anime seems to have more fanservice in it then the manga, not to say that that doesn't have a fair amount of fanservice as well.

    Comment: This show does succeed in being dark-hearted, however, with a concept about a survival game where stay alive only requires preforming a simple task makes me fear this might go down a melodramatic path, assuming that the tasks stay as simple as they are that is. The relationship between the boy and girl is kind of sweet, if they had gone a different direction with the story I think I'd have liked to see more of their romance.

    Comment: The series fails to introduce us to both the characters and the world. The directing is horrid and seems like they were trying WAY too hard to be artsy. Half of the first episode consists of music videos, while the rest of the episode is pretty forgettable and only right before the credits does this anime actually give any indication of a plot.

    Comment: Disney does seem to have a more anime art-style in their movies nowadays, though they're only the producers. It looks nice and has fluid animation. The jokes are pretty funny and I might go and watch this through as soon as it finishes, since the episodes are very short.

    Comment: The first chapter depicts the loneliness of a man who is not respected by his family, but he seems like a nice guy. It's refreshing to see a male lead who isn't in their teens and it seems like it could go in a good direction. The problem lies with the art, the manga uses photo realism which looks bizarre at times, but the anime shouldn't have this issue. There's also the fact that the main character looks like a old man despite him not even being sixty but that's a bit nit-picky.

    Comment: I was planning to watch the original, and then this remake came out of nowhere. I was expecting this to have a subtle tone, but it actually turned out to have some pretty messed up stories that are mainly episodic. The episode can start off light-hearted enough but turn incredibly dark by the end, so if you like that sort of stuff then I highly recommend this series.

    Comment: Never have I hated the word kawaii so much. The story is about Neko-sama who helps people with their completely mundane problems even though they're clearly capable of handling it themselves but of course he has to forcefully insert himself into the situation. I would say this is a children's anime but that would be a insult...towards children.

    Comment: I'm not sure why it needs to be the animated series, but okay. The best way to describe this series would be to compare it to a video game, it's very much live watching a feed of Major League Gaming or MLG. All of the characters wear glasses to convey that they're smart, even though this is 2017 and we should of moved pass that stereotype. The story will be good, but several characters feel a bit too familiar and will likely develop in ways we've seen done many times before. But you didn't come here for that, you came here to watch robots killing eachother, and there'll be plently of that.

There are only cute girls left in the world...so it's your basic slice of life anime, lol. From what I can tell, it seems to be a moe anime set in the apocalypse.

    Comment: Of the Bishounen anime this season, this one seems to have the most effort put into the story and I hope they focus on it more then the romance. The characters are ones from other works, like Sherlock Holmes or Arsene Lupin, and Cardia seems like a good character. But to be honest, this series could go either way.

    Comment: The plot doesn't get very far in the first episode, but the premise seems promising. Since it's based on a Bishoujo game, a considerable amount of the screen time is dedicated to the heroines. The fanservice in the first episode wasn't too bad, but judging by the cover for the visual novel it will probably raise significantly.

    Comment: The action scenes in this are shaky and come off as jarring, which is a shame since this show seems to be mainly about the action. I thought we all agreed that Unlimited Blade Works was the way to do fight scenes. It does seem like the plot will become important as the series progresses though. The fanservice was mild, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were to become more prominent in later episodes, but it doesn't seem like they'll sexualize the main heroine so that's good.

    I'm glad that you picked this up, I really hope that you like it.

    I already talked about the first episode in it's thread, so I'll skip to episode 2.

    At first I thought that Natsume would be my favorite character, the air about her kind of reminded me of Asumi from Twin Spica, so seemed like she would be a dandere however it became clear in this episode that not only was that not the case, but she was actually a yandere. In any case there seems to be something more going on with her, I wonder why she would choose to hang out with Eita and the others while declining offers to do so with her friends?

    So Eita is my favorite for now, since his personality seems to be more alligned with that of a dandere then Natsume is.

    Other than that all I have to say is I think Ena is best girl, I kind of like her in the first episode too but I wasn't sure why and disregarded that thought. But I know now that it's because she's so genki. And I want to ship Eitana simply because I like them both. =D
