There's too many shows to list that I'm interested in, which hasn't happened for a long time. I'm even getting a Detective Conan movie featuring Makoto, so there should be great fight scenes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Szanboti Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Ace of Diamond Act II, baby! OPM 2, Titan, Stray Dogs, too. The Fruits Basket reboot will probably be good. Not seeing much of interest in the new offerings yet, but descriptions are usually inadequate indicators for me. Either way, it's all good. If there's not much new to follow, I still have a huge pile of shame in a box I need to dig into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiemarie90 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 People are saying One Punch season 2 might be bad because they switch studios. But I hope not, it's one of my favs and I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Fruits Basket Carole & Tuesday - heard about this the other day. this might be the 3rd music anime ill have seen and it sounds super good. seems like a nice change of pace too. Shoumetsu Toshi Sarazanmai - ikuhara. enough said. Hitoribocchi Joshikausei cause i want to see how nice it looks in color. Maybe: Fairy Gone is a huge maybe. might not even try it since its another recycled plot. could be at my limit for these types. Ao-chan - could be mindless fun but depends on how funny it is.

The director of the first season, Shingo Natsume is really good and has a good eye for talent and attention to detail, he co-directed Space Dandy too and he's not directing this season =/ That doesn't necessarily mean Season 2 will be bad though, anime fans are always dramatic and wanna make snap judgements based on trailers with 15 seconds of actual footage, take whatever the hyped seasonal crowd says with a grain of salt, positive or negative. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Everything new I’ve seen so far has been disappointing. I still need to watch We Never Learn and am waiting for Sarazanmai and Carol & Tuesday, but the best shows I’m finding are the on-going ones like Dororo and JoJo. What The Hell are You Doing Here, Sensei! was good but it’s also ecchi so that’s the main reason why I would enjoy it.

QueenoftheDorks Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This whole season feels really underwhelming for a spring season outside of the sequels. This feels a lot more like a summer/winter type lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mochi Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Sarazanmai is amazing Extreme spoilers: Spoiler and it's every bit as gay as I expect from an Ikuhara work...or debateably trans maybe? episode one begins with Kazuki, one of the 3 Kappa boys going on about how he loves the idol girl Sara and saying he has a "special connection with her" then it cuts to one of the other boys meeting Sara and chasing her down angrily because the selfie she took has a picture of him breaking into a car in it then he runs into Kazu and they accidentally break a Kappa statue and black out, they wake up the next day acting like Kappas they return to the broken statue and discover there's now a REAL Kappa there, the third boy joins them at this point, the Kapppa procedes to bite their butts and lick their prostates, and then swallow them, later shitting them out as Kappas he tells them they have to eat the prostates of "Zombies" to become Human again, and then takes them to a giant naked man with pendulous testicles with a cardboard box on his face, the 3 Kappa boys sing a musical number (this series' Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku presumably) and then join hands and turn into a set of Anal beads and fly into the Giant man's ass, plucking out his prostate, revealing him to be a man who's "hidden secret" is that he's a nudist the Kappa then tells them to feed him the Man's prostate, so they do, in doing so, Kazu reveals he is a crossdresser.....and the Sara that the other boy chased down the other day, was him, in drag they then wake up in the alleyway as humans again Edited April 11, 2019 by mochi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Sarazanmai is definitely anime of the season material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Szanboti Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Although that could well be the origin of the lore, shirikodama aren't prostates, as every human supposedly has one. There's potential in this series, but I suspect I won't last more than about 5 episodes. Ikuhara's work since Utena reminds me too much of NisiOisin and Masaaki Yuasa's stuff - too dense and frenetic and exhausting to watch.

The1gairon Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 ... k where did this thing about shirikodama come from?

"They are sometimes said to take their victims for the purpose of drinking their blood, eating their livers, or gaining power by taking their shirikodama (尻子玉), a mythical ball said to contain the soul, which is located inside the anus.[12][17][18]" It was also brought up in episode 9 of GeGeGe no Kitarou (2018), so no, Ikuhara didn't make it up. The good news is that if they're coming after your shirikodama, you can repel them by farting at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Szanboti Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Well, from the previews I saw I didn't think I was going to like Carole & Tuesday, but it looks like it's going to be pretty good after all. Too bad they didn't get Yoko Kanno on board for the music. Still, they got Takahiro Sakurai and Hiroshi Kamiya (who are both in Ace of Diamond too!), so I'm a happy camper.

Chapinator_X Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I am jumping the gun, but from a first episode basis, it’s at least the best intro of the season. Kimetsu no Yaiba’s was great, but Sarazanmai’s impressed me the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
