>>6757This is one of those seasons where I went in with low expected and have gathered 10 different titles to watch.
When I made the post o hadn't gotten to ep 4 yet and didn't
see Jun and Aki literally fighting over Hikaru. They're all cute!
>DandadanOne of the few I watch on the big screen rather than my phone. Beautiful animation, if a little noisy due to the constant screaming. I love reading the theories and lore, gives me a light horror fix.
I'm also watching MagiLumiere and them hiring Deku's VA to be a green-haired nerd/guy in the chair who mumbles a lot is a little too on the nose kek. I expect some angst between the two company presidents in the future. For now, I'm really liking the Yuri that feels like a Yaoi dynamic between the two leads (unless this is a common yuri thing and I've just not watched enough) . Never had an instant liking to a GL ship before.

>>6758The season is better than I thought. I would never made it to 10 anime in this day and age but I enjoy around 5 which is more than expected.
Dadandan has yet to impress me with its animation though, but I didn't watch episode 4 yet. But unless it's as good as Elusive Samurai ep. 2 I will give up and drop it. It doesn't help that I don't care about any of the characters. I like occult stuff but it doesn't work for me here, feels more like a 90s episodic shounen so far. Mob 100 was more to my liking an it was actually funny (and had at least one great male character).
>I'm also watching MagiLumiereForgot that was airing. It might be too SoL for me but I wanted check it out at least and I said the same about NegaPosi Angler which turned out to be decent.
>>6759>Do they use any Latin in the show?It's a story about smart peasants in Poland so the only thing you heard so far were Polish names and words IIRC.

>>6762I remember loving junjou terrorist as a kid because I really enjoyed Shinobu and how endearingly deranged he is but after a rewatch earlier this year I think egotist is my favourite instead, I think it's because the two of them look a bit less like the typical seme/uke dynamic if that makes sense, Nowaki's brand of autism setting Hiroki off all the time was cute as well
You could tell jr was set during the tsundere craze with every couple containing one

I'm watching the X anime to cope with the manga being on hiatus for more than 20 years right now. I hope the ending isn't too half assed, but it has enough episodes to not be as rushed as the movie at least.

>>6767>being on hiatus for more than 20 years right nowGod I wish there was some worldwide law that if your series is unfinished or cancelled after 10 years you HAVE to give a summary of what you had planned.

>>6768Vote for me and I'll make it happen. Jokes aside, I hate how Clamp is pretending that nothing is wrong here and they can still pretend the series is simply not finished yet, with new editions coming out in Japan once a year with new covers but no new announcements besides that. By the way during the CLAMP Exhibit in Tokyo this summer they showed the whole illustration planned on the side of the original volumes and the last volumes would have had Fuuma's face, just like Kamui's face on the first volume.
I also want to know what Ai Yazawa planned for Nana but at least in her case it's not her fault at all if we don't have new chapters, I just hope she's getting some rest and hopefully healing a little bit but her condition must be chronic at this point.
No.6770
>>6764Yes, it's the rapeyness and the agegaps. Everyone has their limits but it was very mild to me. Love Egotist is the best
>>6767I wish they would actually make a Tokyo Babylon anime, finish X, remake X, etc. Older CLAMP works would be great for new anime projects. There's the new Magical Knight Rayearth which is nice

No.6788
>>6781Jepp, the shota too. Much more blushing and they improved a bunch of related scenes a lot. Tokiyuki calling for Kojiru was a normal boring panel in the manga for example, the anime added blushing, made him more passionate and the scene lasted longer. It would be funny if the series had both, shota and old men shippers kek
>>6770Words cannot express how much I miss old CLAMP. They made me a manga fan to begin with. CLAMP stands for everything I loved about series, I was obsessed with their stuff. And it wasn't just good and often gay shippy, their series were also incredibly diverse, showing how creative they were. And now for 15 years nothing but milking of CCS and xxx (which crosses over with another Sakura series). The only good thing coming of all of that IMO were Fye/Kurogane but their series ended ages ago as well.
I pray that the Rayearth remake will be a success. I would kill to get a RG Veda or Tokyo Babylon anime. Also, not gay but I am looking forward seeing Zagato animated in HQ.

>>6789There is a lot of shipping with this thanks to the big amount of diverse male characters kek. I see Ichikawa/Sadamune the most often though (or Sadamune with whoever is male, really, even Tokiyuki was fucking him in some fanarts), together with Yorishige/Tokiyuki but Takauji is also popular and most commonly shipped with his brother or Moronao. Tokiyuki/Fubuki and the elf guy and his scary man are getting quite much as well. Takauji x Tokiyuki might exist I could swear I saw a doujinshi in the making.
Speaking of it, the next weekly shounen jump issue will contain an "ojisan" sticker sheet for this series aka the adult dudes fujos are commonly shipping lmao they know I am watching it
No.6826
>>6825I genuinely miss series like Loveless. It was the BL that I started in denial until it became a guilty pleasure and lastly finally made me give in and accept the fujo side in me.
The moody atmosphere, great memorable OP/ED, tragic, dark story, some fantasy, action and attractive characters and all that tied to gayness. THis is how I want canon BL to be. Make the gayness important and romantic but intertwine it with an engaging story full of light and dark parts.
I also loved that the main relationship had this sense of forbidden love to it. Partly due to the age gap and Ritsuka being innocent albeit not naive, but also the kinky aspect of the collars and chains and last but not least due to the past involvement of Seimei that none of them can get over.
For a long time I actually thought his name was "Seme" not "Seimei" lmao

>>6907Is that so? I've only ever seen people talk about this in the context of waifu wars and fanservice aimed at men so I just dismissed it by default.
No.6911
>>6907I fucking love Monogatari, but I also love everything Akiyuki Shinbo has ever done after watching SZS all those years ago so I'm bias. If you like the directing style in it check out Maria Holic or Hidamari Sketch for similar feeling Shaft works.
I will say I think Monogatari starts really strong with Bake and Nise but some of the later parts are more varying in quality. Also don't be fooled by any of those "Watch Order" guides, release order is the best with the exception of possibly placing Kizu after Bake since the that is the way the novels were released.
>>6908It is very fanservice heavy, some of it adds to the show and characterization and some of it doesn't. I really couldn't care less about how much lolibait or huge knockers are in a show since I've been watching harems for years, but if it bothers you I can't really recommend the series since it is an overwhelming part of it. There is a good character-focused drama in there though if you're more neutral on it.
Really the saddest thing about the show being so female-dominated is the fact that Araragi has almost no shipping material out there despite being a cutie voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi. Some people pair him with Oshino Meme but imo that's yaoi for yaoi's sake and the two don't have much romantic chemistry.
No.6913
>>6908Understandable!
I think if those are aspects you truly can't over look it, you won't enjoy it, but if you can watch with indifference towards those elements at least, you may find something enjoyable!
I'm a person that's very immune to nudity and sexuality in general, so I have hard time gauging what others will find acceptable lol.
I would say, give it a try if you can! I think I will report back a keep watching.
>>6911Yess, I love SZS as well! And plan to watch Hidamari sketch in the future, it looks so cute TT
I never understood the watch order stuff. If they directed things in that order, and most people were able to watch it in the order as it was airing and understand it, why wouldn't that be good enough?
I find Araragi pleasing so far!
>voiced by Kamiya HiroshiI could tell instantly when he was fucking yelling LMAOOO. I love Itoshiki Sensei and his voice ><
Idk what going on cause I haven't gotten that far but I love Araragi's new long hair look.

>>6908It was the other way around for me. I saw a lot of screenshots that seemed interesting as fuck but it turned out to be too waifu and geek focused to me.
Tried watching it three times and always gave up during episode 3 I think where the whole episode was just (for me) boring discussion involving anime tropes. I always wanted to get into it since some of the later parts seemed interesting but nothing about the first few episodes was really exciting IMO and three killed me so I gave up.
A friend I have had the same issue with Crest of the Stars though and THAT is something I rated pretty high and the political discussions genuinely interested me.
That said I miss political sci-fi and space shit. I tried G Witch but that was unwatchable as well IMO kek

We all know to point and laugh when Mother's Basement or some shitty youtuber puts out a video suggesting watching Jojo parts out of order, but then those same people will turn around and make weird convoluted watch order charts for Toaru, Monogatari, Fate, ect.
Even if a series isn't told chronologically all the time the writers are usually anticipating you knowing something the character doesn't and play with dramatic irony.

>>6777It's so funny how the fujo fans of these two are tasting some weird bugs now because these dudes were shown boiling and eating them together in a panel. I've counted five fujos so far (not posting photos since some might hate them kek).
For how loud otaku are crying about waifus they're pretty fickle lmao. Fujos might dedicate every free hour to their ship, draw fantastic art, write (sometimes novel-length stories), make dolls, talk about their gay shit and, sometimes, apparently even eat bugs if the dudes they like have done it before, for the full experience.
I know a fujo that learned to draw because her favorite ship had no artist.

Finally picked up the dandadan anime, I remember really liking the manga a while ago but never finishing it, the almost alien rape scene is deeply off putting but it's so super rare for a shounen to have a good and mostly unsexualised female lead that I can overlook it, it's also one of the rare series where I actually care about the het romance between the two leads, still need to get up to date with the oshi no ko anime, my senpai is an otonoko and tasogare outfocus (though I kinda wanna get the physicals of the manga first) might also pick up that magical girl anime you ladies mentioned

>>6950I am glad you like it. I didn't expect all this fanart for such a show. But looking at the streaming numbers for Japan it seems to do well in that regard too. #3 after Dandadan and Re:Zero s3 I think.
>>6988I feel like Dandadan is a show for women lol even though it's a shounen. The vibes, the designs and how the characters act and everything makes it feel like an action show for girls lmao
