I never watched freaking 12 Animes in one season. That shows how good this season actually is. I also like that nearly every genre is present this season. It's just a very good and mixed season without anything that gets hyped to much.
Hohoho, I started off 2015 watching 30 anime per season. Now I barely watch 8. Though, I'm watching 6 right now (finished ReLife) and have yet to start a few more.
Lovely list! I would recommend "Sweetness and Lightning" and "Battery" from this season to you. "Sweetness and Lightning" is a heartwarming, yet melancholic take on slice of life, with a single dad trying to raise his daughter. It is cute, but not "moe-cute". It goes deeper and will probably have you crying at the end of episode one. "Battery" is a sports anime about baseball, but it is not about that. It is a charactzer drama, set in a rural town. This anime may be the strongest this season for me, as it is a fantastic example of slow drama, with a focus on "show, don't tell". It is by the same mangaka as "No.6", by the way, which was also a soft, subtle drama about a friendship between two guys. I feel like "Battery" will take the same route and be even more successful.
sweetness and lightning is definitely my biggest surprise this season. It's such a heart-warming show, seeing a father try his best to raise his daughter alone
I would also recommend you Amaama to Inazuma (heart-warming and funny), Days (very good sports anime), Nejimaki Seirei Senki (a good fantasy setting and also a Madhouse production), ReLife (a very good SoL with a sort of time travelling) and Saiki Kusuo (a 5min-episode funny for a quick chill & laugh).
I too was deeply impressed by Amanchu episode 1, I ended up writing a script that will end up being around 12 minutes, just analyzing that first episode. It really is remarkable.
91 Days Amanchu Battery Mob Psycho 100 Orange Planetarian Sweetness & Lightning Tales of Zestiria the X Thunderbolt Fantasy These are the shows that I feel the most are worth watching from this anime season. All of them are great in different ways, and all of them I feel like needs to be given a chance by all.
I'm loving both orange and amanchu! They have a great anime scenery and an original story that just keeps you wanting to watch more!! Can't wait for more episodes :D
I was a big fan of cheer danshi's first episode. maybe not aots stuff but it was engaging and covered some unique subject matter. Battery had a bit of a slow first episode but the premise is interesting and it set itself up for greatness later down the line.
another great video!! i was so relieved when i saw this in my sub box since i was already fretting over my selection of summer anime considering how hectic my schedule will be in a few weeks *^* thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. (glad to know that 91 days was great in particular though! *u* i've been looking forward to that show for weeeeks)
In my opinion "Amaama to Inazuma" (Sweetness and Lightning) has the potential to be the AOTS like "Flying Witch" last season. But "Orange", "Amanchu!", "Planetarian", "ReLife" and "91 Days" are great Anime as well.
I really have to disagree with you on Tales of Zestiria. Coming from a huge fan of Ufotable animation I thought the animation was beautiful. The scenery is what like the most the landscapes are beautiful and stunning. It also gives you more information than the video game did.
I'm saying animation as in artwork and camera angle as well as many other aspects that takes part in the animation process.I'm also including it into cinematography.
Oh. Well where did you think that the cinematography was particularly good? The directing was unfocused with disjointed transitions and boring shots. The transitions especially were terrible at smoothing out large changes in tone, time or location in between cuts. Episode 1 was better, not because the directing got magically better, but because it had a more continuous narrative structure that the directing could not disrupt as easily. It also did have an under angle shot, a pov action shot and a dynamic camera scene that changed it up a bit. Episode 2 didn't have any interesting shots for most of its run time but it ended with a decent fight scene.
Looking at the scenes you decided to put in the video concerning Tales of Zestiria, I'm pretty sure that you watched the 2nd episode and and not the first one (which is actually episode 0).
The only show I'm watching this season is 91 Days and after 3 episodes in, its shaping up to be a solid Mafia revenge story. Won't be anything groundbreaking but its definitely looking to be good.
You thought so, too!!! I'm so glad that a professional sees the similarities between Amanchu! and Aria. Soundtrack, colors, uniforms, mascot, funny chibi faces, tranquil and dreamy spirit, central topic, water elements, character elements and even the opening. I hope the anime keeps the standard! Are you going to do a deeper analysis of Amanchu! in the future? Best regards :)
The shows that got me interested so far would be: *Amaama to Inazuma* *Arslan Senki* (Season 2), you must watch Season 1 *Battery* *Fukigen na Mononokean* (Not amazing but a nice heartwarming series) You've already seen *Orange* *Planetarian*, feels like an art project. It's interesting so far. Of course *ReLIFE* And another fairly decent series *Tenkyou no Alderamin*
One show that not a lot of people have watched but had imo a strong first episode was Battery. It had a nice atmosphere and established strong characters with a lot of potential to grow (maybe in obvious ways, but I'll take obvious if it's done well). I'd watch it in any case since it's a noitamina show, but I do think it will actually be pretty good. I think a lot of people are turned off because they think it will have a lot of fujobait because it's a sports show that focuses on the relationship between two boys, especially since it's based on a novel series by the author of No.6. However, Battery is an award winning children's/teen's novel so I think people are overreacting and it seems everyone who complains about it hasn't yet watched the episode.
i did not know about *Amanchu* i'll check that out in the future. - i dropped a show with a purple haired girl who was rich but lost everything and hangs out with 2 friends most episodes gets stalked by a former servant and gets a job with another one. it just had no purpose. so many shows did the exact same thing it did. nothing! another disappointment i had was terra formars season 2...i was so hyped at the end of the first season. but they changed the formula. it was painful at times. like going from akame ga kill to DBS!
Wow you pretty much covered all of my favorite anime outside of ReLIFE, and Amaama to Inazuma. I am really enjoying Amanchu and but didn't particularly find it funny for me its a really relaxing story with some fun characters. Also I am glad I am not the only one who found Tales of Zestiria to be really boring
You're telling me that goofy ass bad guy in 91 Days didn't break your immersion? That and how easily all the situations were handled? Kid runs away, guy puts no effort into chasing him. Guy in back seat of car who looks like he weighs like 400 pounds gets his arm grabbed and is instantly dealt with, etc. The pacing was horribly rushed in episode 1. It's also visually not all that great, it had a lot of very lifeless and bland wide shots. I'm being so critical because it was one of my most hyped up shows.
With that many problems there are easily more shows this season that are better than it. Fiendish Adjudicator - Kitab Al-Azif I haven't seen 91 Days, but if those really are the problems then it can''t be "better than everything [else]".
>Goofy bad ass Who we're talking about? Rape face? If anything, he's justifiable, so no immersion broke. >Kid runs away, guy puts no effort into chasing him. Maybe the guy had pity, y'know? He just killed one girl and his mom, so he didn't wanted to kill the boy too. Is not like just because he's a henchmen he's evil. >Big Guy He was in an uncomfortable position, he would need an appropiate position to exert his force. >Pacing lol okay it was fine for me, enough to show the main characters and introduce the existence of the mafia plot >Visuals It reminds me of Baccano, so it passes for me due to how it looks. >Shot composition I wasn't paying a lot of attention so I can't touch that
1) I found his comically over the top and he stood out like a sore thumb to me. Which of course is subjective but when you have a character like that it breaks immersion. 2) You could be right but it didn't seem that way to me, that and they were so cold and heartless why the sudden unjustified change? Wouldn't his boss punish him? He let a child get away when they were probably ordered to kill everyone. You'd think if the wouldn't show pity for the wife and her kid why would they stop at one running away? 5) Baccano, although I haven't seen it in awhile felt a lot more vibrant and interesting to me. Hooked me in one episode, with 91 days it left me in a kind of limbo state of not really caring too much either way.
1) I felt he was a scum, obssesed with his revenge, justifiable so, and kept me interested for how he would act and what was he thinking. It certainly is a subjective matter at this point. 2)They could've told the boss "hey, he fell down after the shot, let's let him rot" and depending on the trust level the boss has for his lackeys this would've passed. Another thing would be that the kid, pressumably with no way to survive, was left to die in the streets. Another thing is that the boss was directly there when they killed the wife. He was cut, so he could've been in a bathroom or out of the house, treating the cut But I do see your PoV though, and why you lost immersion. I do expect the show to present what exactly happened. In episode 2 they revealed the identity of the killers, and since there's at least one of them alive is possible for the show to adress the situation. 3) Is about 5. Different strokes again, I like the somber atmosphere. I was referring more to the character's desing and how every face has something different. The eyes are also reminiscent of that show.
battery was pretty good but there were some dumb moment and theres also relife which feels a little empty but still fun and the very cute amaazuma to inazuma which was just perfect
I feel like the only issue I have with Amanchu visually was Kohinata's muppet face they seem to use for a good chunk of each episode. It felt like it lost a lot of its comedic appeal as the show went on and felt kind of jarring for a show which goes for realistic look. What do you think?
questioninconnu true, its very heavily steeped in anime and shounen cliches with a touch of the lonely anit hero wanderer story, but the artistry behind the puppets is so mesmerizing you cant help getting swept away by it.
Battery. A slow pace show about baseball that shows a good understanding of its characters. Definitely recommend check it out to see how it develops. Very good analysis!!!
ReLIFE I thought was pretty great. I'm not watching much else this season, mainly I want to wait to marathon any shows that peaked my interest, or just watch them at my own pace. The only others this season I'm watching is continuing with Re:Zero and watching Rewrite.
This season I'm watching Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! LOVE!, Cheer Danshi!!, Handa-kun, Mob Psycho 100, and Servamp. Boueibu isn't anything extraordinary but I can appreciate the art and, in my opinion, it's a hilarious show. Cheer Danshi!! is quite entertaining so far even though it's starting pretty slowly. Handa-kun makes me laugh each episode. Mob Psycho 100 hasn't really... impressed me yet. At the beginning the art style didn't appeal to me but hopefully as the series continues I will come to enjoy it more. Servamp is the anime I was looking forward to the most this season. The voice acting, the art style + animation, story, and characters are awesome! To be honest, I wouldn't really recommend Boueibu, Cheer Danshi!!, or Servamp to anyone who dislikes male fanservice or BL-ish vibes since these three shows have a decent amount of it (some more than others).
Berserk caught me while getting finally to try watch the original from the start. I haven't watched the first chapter yet, being at the fifth of the original. The original starts well, but in that fifth it cheats, with a character reacting in a deceitful way when the only ones to deceive present are... the public, none of the characters who should've been the target of the deception. That's one point to take it down and why I haven't progressed yet to the sixth chapter. I'm considering trying to get to see the current.
It's funny how my opinion on Amanchu differs so, not just because I wasn't a fan but every point you made in it's favour I felt worked against it, making it one of my least favourite first episodes this season. The comedy consistently fell flat for me, the characters were very unenjoyable to watch and the timing of the reaction faces to enhance the comedy felt off to the point that they were just switching for the sake of switching at times. Overall everything the show set out to do did not create an environment that I can enjoy watching. I also feel very much in the minority on Orange in that I can't get invested in it's narrative, the direction is great for the most part but the script really fails it a lot of the time. A big part of this I noticed this last episode is that Naho is starting to feel less and less like she is a part of the group, presenting me with a show that I'd find much more interesting if the MC wasn't actually in it as her being there begins to feel disjointed. I find for a show to sell me on it's narrative it needs to sell me on the relationships of it's characters and Orange has done that for all the side characters but not the character who we are viewing the story through. The only other shows I can recommend from this season would be Sweetness & Lightning for SoL showcasing the struggles of a single father and his attempts to connect to his daughter through cooking. It has a great sense of realism with it's characters and the down the earth issues they tackle juxtaposes well against the fun the characters bring to the table. After 3 episodes it is looking to possibly be one of the best shows of the season. For comedy there is Konobi or 'The Art Club has a problem' which has an incredible sense of direction for what from the premise should of been a short show, but manages to use it's full timeslot really well to create an interesting mix of comedy and sweet character moments. It might fall flat towards the end but for the moment the comedy is on point. For Drama Battery is looking good, it has some design issues and the characters have a lot of growing to do but the episodes creates the feeling that a good story could be crafted from it. Not the best first episode of the season by a long shot but worth checking out in my eyes.
I never think Arata is a loser, just a person who is losing his confidence to face up the reality. Of course NHK are on different level compared to Relife but the plot about a man trying to change his lifestyle still reminding me of him.
Honestly I admit the animation and art style can be a distraction, but at the end of the day it's still Berserk. I'm sure it will improve hopefully. It's still too early to judge. I will say though that the writing is spot on, and the soundtrack is also a plus.
i think there is quite a lot of expetation from this series. It's fucking berserk, A pillar of the dark fantasy in the manga medium. A beautiful drawn manga, with impressive action, with an apocaliptic world filled with insanity and twisted characters. The bad 3D ruins the thing completely (it was even downgraded) and the poor studio who work on it have just worked on short comedic 2D slice of life shows.
Fiendish Adjudicator - Kitab Al-Azif The new guy is fated to kill himself but the group of main characters all get letters from their future selves to help prevent it from happening, and of course in the end, he doesn't kill himself.
First episode was pretty bad since it skips quite a bit of story content from the manga. I feel it's too early to judge at this point. See if you enjoy it in the long run. After all that's what matters. YOUR ENJOYMENT. :)
If i had to describe what you can do best... I'd have to say 'He can make anything sound boring af' Edit: Not that that's a bad thing. I just think it's funny^^
Those being Ranma 1/2 and Aria the Natural. But I am planning to watch some of these. But AnimeEveryday, but I want to ask you. Do you have the Blu-Ray of the whole Aria series, and have you finished Avvenire?
+Chris Karapetyan I don't care about those animes ,really a waste I watch a show like 91 days,orange,a much later I think I will enjoy bit wait til episode 10 to watch it all
another great video!! i was so relieved when i saw this in my sub box since i was already fretting over my selection of summer anime considering how hectic my schedule will be in a few weeks *^* thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. (glad to know that 91 days was great in particular though! *u* i've been looking forward to that show for weeeeks)

Mob psycho's plot thickens very soon, dont worry, its not just a few gag stories.
There's been quite an overwhelming amount of interesting anime this season, i'd appreciate any recommendations in the comments so I can keep up! :)
ReLife, maybe?
Not from this season, but Ace Attorney?
Berserk!
man u need more support, u do a lot of good job with the vids, we r here as well
Sweetness and lightning
Amaama to Inazuma has been excellent so far and, even if it's not an anime, Thunderbolt Fantasy has blown me away.
Lovely list! I would recommend "Sweetness and Lightning" and "Battery" from this season to you.
"Sweetness and Lightning" is a heartwarming, yet melancholic take on slice of life, with a single dad trying to raise his daughter. It is cute, but not "moe-cute". It goes deeper and will probably have you crying at the end of episode one.
"Battery" is a sports anime about baseball, but it is not about that. It is a charactzer drama, set in a rural town. This anime may be the strongest this season for me, as it is a fantastic example of slow drama, with a focus on "show, don't tell". It is by the same mangaka as "No.6", by the way, which was also a soft, subtle drama about a friendship between two guys. I feel like "Battery" will take the same route and be even more successful.
sweetness and lightning is definitely my biggest surprise this season. It's such a heart-warming show, seeing a father try his best to raise his daughter alone
I would also recommend you Amaama to Inazuma (heart-warming and funny), Days (very good sports anime), Nejimaki Seirei Senki (a good fantasy setting and also a Madhouse production), ReLife (a very good SoL with a sort of time travelling) and Saiki Kusuo (a 5min-episode funny for a quick chill & laugh).
Yeah saki kosou that anime people won't put it on their list considering it is short ,but who knows ?
Cheer Boys is surprisingly delightful
I too was deeply impressed by Amanchu episode 1, I ended up writing a script that will end up being around 12 minutes, just analyzing that first episode. It really is remarkable.
Great to hear your thoughts on the summer season ^^
91 Days
Amanchu
Battery
Mob Psycho 100
Orange
Planetarian
Sweetness & Lightning
Tales of Zestiria the X
Thunderbolt Fantasy
These are the shows that I feel the most are worth watching from this anime season.
All of them are great in different ways, and all of them I feel like needs to be given a chance by all.
I'm loving both orange and amanchu! They have a great anime scenery and an original story that just keeps you wanting to watch more!! Can't wait for more episodes :D
Summer '16 favorites so far:
91 Days, Battery, Orange, New Game, Amanchu, Taboo Tatoo, Handa-kun, Amaam to Inazuma, Days, SnS 2
I was a big fan of cheer danshi's first episode. maybe not aots stuff but it was engaging and covered some unique subject matter.
Battery had a bit of a slow first episode but the premise is interesting and it set itself up for greatness later down the line.

I'm going to read Mob Psycho 100 and Orange, and I'm watching Amanchu. Thanks!
In my opinion "Amaama to Inazuma" (Sweetness and Lightning) has the potential to be the AOTS like "Flying Witch" last season. But "Orange", "Amanchu!", "Planetarian", "ReLife" and "91 Days" are great Anime as well.
Always a pleasure watching your videos keep up the great work!
I really have to disagree with you on Tales of Zestiria. Coming from a huge fan of Ufotable animation I thought the animation was beautiful. The scenery is what like the most the landscapes are beautiful and stunning. It also gives you more information than the video game did.
He didn't say anything about the animation though. He was talking about the directing (lens, cuts, shots, pans).

Is a "Top 5 Spring 2016 Anime" video coming soon? Those are my favorite element of your channel.
I'm new to your channel.. thank you so much for your recommendations! I thought I had seen most interesting stuff..apparantly not. Big up!
Please give Thunderbolt Fantasy a try. I can promise you that at least you will not be indifferent to it.
To me I will watch it later
With the urobutcher's name attached I pass
Zechs 96 I too am allergic to the Butcher but the show is worth checking out anyway.
Looking at the scenes you decided to put in the video concerning Tales of Zestiria, I'm pretty sure that you watched the 2nd episode and and not the first one (which is actually episode 0).
1) Mob Psycho 100
2) 91 Days
3) Handa-kun
4) Tales of Zestiria the X
5) Taboo Tattoo
The only show I'm watching this season is 91 Days and after 3 episodes in, its shaping up to be a solid Mafia revenge story. Won't be anything groundbreaking but its definitely looking to be good.
You thought so, too!!! I'm so glad that a professional sees the similarities between Amanchu! and Aria. Soundtrack, colors, uniforms, mascot, funny chibi faces, tranquil and dreamy spirit, central topic, water elements, character elements and even the opening. I hope the anime keeps the standard!
Are you going to do a deeper analysis of Amanchu! in the future?
Best regards :)
Aren't they essentially made by the same people?
+Thief Gaius yes, adapted from the same Mangaka and produced by much of the same staff
Calamack Yeah I thought so.
hm, I didnt really look into the staff, but you're indeed right! Hope it'll be as good as Aria then
The shows that got me interested so far would be:
*Amaama to Inazuma*
*Arslan Senki* (Season 2), you must watch Season 1
*Battery*
*Fukigen na Mononokean* (Not amazing but a nice heartwarming series)
You've already seen *Orange*
*Planetarian*, feels like an art project. It's interesting so far.
Of course *ReLIFE*
And another fairly decent series *Tenkyou no Alderamin*
One show that not a lot of people have watched but had imo a strong first episode was Battery. It had a nice atmosphere and established strong characters with a lot of potential to grow (maybe in obvious ways, but I'll take obvious if it's done well).

>Goofy bad ass
Who we're talking about? Rape face? If anything, he's justifiable, so no immersion broke.
>Kid runs away, guy puts no effort into chasing him.
Maybe the guy had pity, y'know? He just killed one girl and his mom, so he didn't wanted to kill the boy too. Is not like just because he's a henchmen he's evil.
>Big Guy
He was in an uncomfortable position, he would need an appropiate position to exert his force.
>Pacing
lol okay it was fine for me, enough to show the main characters and introduce the existence of the mafia plot
>Visuals
It reminds me of Baccano, so it passes for me due to how it looks.
>Shot composition
I wasn't paying a lot of attention so I can't touch that
1) I found his comically over the top and he stood out like a sore thumb to me. Which of course is subjective but when you have a character like that it breaks immersion.

Great video as always.
I definitely agree with you said about Amanchu, for me it is even already AOTY.
Btw, where are Onara Gorou and Bananya? D:
I'm watching Bananya ^^
Watching 3 out of 5 of these. Good video
Thanks!
AnimeEveryday make that 4 out of 5 ;P started Orange after watching your impressions
Amanchu is one of the best anime that i haven't see for long time hahaha :D
battery was pretty good but there were some dumb moment and theres also relife which feels a little empty but still fun and the very cute amaazuma to inazuma which was just perfect
best transitions in the game :)
you should watch handa kun. its the prequel of barakamon
I feel like the only issue I have with Amanchu visually was Kohinata's muppet face they seem to use for a good chunk of each episode. It felt like it lost a lot of its comedic appeal as the show went on and felt kind of jarring for a show which goes for realistic look. What do you think?
Thunderbolt Fantasy is a must watch. Dont get too much into if its anime or not, its outstanding
strangely enough, i think if it was a regular show, it would be boring as shit. Strangely enough, puppet makes it fascinating to watch.
questioninconnu true, its very heavily steeped in anime and shounen cliches with a touch of the lonely anit hero wanderer story, but the artistry behind the puppets is so mesmerizing you cant help getting swept away by it.
Wait a second...AMANCHU IS AN ANIME NOW!!!?
Battery. A slow pace show about baseball that shows a good understanding of its characters. Definitely recommend check it out to see how it develops. Very good analysis!!!
I'll be checking out Battery
You really should give relife and handa-kun a try
I'd be interested to see you make a video about gungrave in some fashion
ReLIFE I thought was pretty great. I'm not watching much else this season, mainly I want to wait to marathon any shows that peaked my interest, or just watch them at my own pace. The only others this season I'm watching is continuing with Re:Zero and watching Rewrite.
Is there any chance you'll cover Thunderbolt Fantasy?
Probably not lol, but I might
This season I'm watching Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE! LOVE!, Cheer Danshi!!, Handa-kun, Mob Psycho 100, and Servamp. Boueibu isn't anything extraordinary but I can appreciate the art and, in my opinion, it's a hilarious show. Cheer Danshi!! is quite entertaining so far even though it's starting pretty slowly. Handa-kun makes me laugh each episode. Mob Psycho 100 hasn't really... impressed me yet. At the beginning the art style didn't appeal to me but hopefully as the series continues I will come to enjoy it more. Servamp is the anime I was looking forward to the most this season. The voice acting, the art style + animation, story, and characters are awesome! To be honest, I wouldn't really recommend Boueibu, Cheer Danshi!!, or Servamp to anyone who dislikes male fanservice or BL-ish vibes since these three shows have a decent amount of it (some more than others).
Any chance we'll get your thoughts on Spring 2016?
There are 9 series that I watch and air on Mondays.
in total I wach 14
Berserk caught me while getting finally to try watch the original from the start. I haven't watched the first chapter yet, being at the fifth of the original. The original starts well, but in that fifth it cheats, with a character reacting in a deceitful way when the only ones to deceive present are... the public, none of the characters who should've been the target of the deception. That's one point to take it down and why I haven't progressed yet to the sixth chapter. I'm considering trying to get to see the current.
ReLife is a great one!!! You gotta check it out!
Orange is not my favorite but it feels like a 8/10
To me is a romance
how about Thunderbolt Fantasy ?
Where do you watch anime? Crunchyroll?
It's funny how my opinion on Amanchu differs so, not just because I wasn't a fan but every point you made in it's favour I felt worked against it, making it one of my least favourite first episodes this season. The comedy consistently fell flat for me, the characters were very unenjoyable to watch and the timing of the reaction faces to enhance the comedy felt off to the point that they were just switching for the sake of switching at times. Overall everything the show set out to do did not create an environment that I can enjoy watching.
I also feel very much in the minority on Orange in that I can't get invested in it's narrative, the direction is great for the most part but the script really fails it a lot of the time. A big part of this I noticed this last episode is that Naho is starting to feel less and less like she is a part of the group, presenting me with a show that I'd find much more interesting if the MC wasn't actually in it as her being there begins to feel disjointed. I find for a show to sell me on it's narrative it needs to sell me on the relationships of it's characters and Orange has done that for all the side characters but not the character who we are viewing the story through.
The only other shows I can recommend from this season would be Sweetness & Lightning for SoL showcasing the struggles of a single father and his attempts to connect to his daughter through cooking. It has a great sense of realism with it's characters and the down the earth issues they tackle juxtaposes well against the fun the characters bring to the table. After 3 episodes it is looking to possibly be one of the best shows of the season.
For comedy there is Konobi or 'The Art Club has a problem' which has an incredible sense of direction for what from the premise should of been a short show, but manages to use it's full timeslot really well to create an interesting mix of comedy and sweet character moments. It might fall flat towards the end but for the moment the comedy is on point.
For Drama Battery is looking good, it has some design issues and the characters have a lot of growing to do but the episodes creates the feeling that a good story could be crafted from it. Not the best first episode of the season by a long shot but worth checking out in my eyes.
Bruh what about the sleeper hit of the season Bananya?
Please watch ReLIFE!!! It's kinda like welcome to the NHK but less dramatic and has highschool setting.
Watched it a few weeks ago, it was a nice watch
ReLIFE can't be compared to NHK at all, just because the MC is a loser doesn't make him relatable
I never think Arata is a loser, just a person who is losing his confidence to face up the reality.
Of course NHK are on different level compared to Relife but the plot about a man trying to change his lifestyle still reminding me of him.
It's not my favorite but I'm a bit on the edge about it. Seen Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin?
It's still Madhouse, but the light novels traits are starting to show a bit, which is bad imo.
+Thief Gaius is it good? i tried to watch the first episode, but dropped it
Armin Selmanovic Second episode was pretty much the same as the first, if you were wondering.
Yuri undertones PogChamp
where do you watch all your anime?
Name of the background songs please? especially the ones in the credits.
Just put all the music in the description :)
me personally not a fan of this season, only watching shokugeki no soma and the 8 episode season 2 of arslan senki. 8 really come on
Watching berserk?
No one should be watching that insult.
Thief Gaius Sorry that you're such a stuck up berserk fan.
Honestly I admit the animation and art style can be a distraction, but at the end of the day it's still Berserk. I'm sure it will improve hopefully. It's still too early to judge. I will say though that the writing is spot on, and the soundtrack is also a plus.
+LobesterAL it takes a while for the episode to air I guess people now a days want every episode to be good
i think there is quite a lot of expetation from this series. It's fucking berserk, A pillar of the dark fantasy in the manga medium. A beautiful drawn manga, with impressive action, with an apocaliptic world filled with insanity and twisted characters.
The bad 3D ruins the thing completely (it was even downgraded) and the poor studio who work on it have just worked on short comedic 2D slice of life shows.
man no one is watching planetarian :(
I read orange right when the manga finished and didn't like it at all, I have no idea why people think its something special
spoil it please.
Fiendish Adjudicator - Kitab Al-Azif The new guy is fated to kill himself but the group of main characters all get letters from their future selves to help prevent it from happening, and of course in the end, he doesn't kill himself.
Justin Espeoni why the hell is he killing himself?
How are these letters time travelling?
What is going on.
Fiendish Adjudicator - Kitab Al-Azif I don't ever remember the letters being explained, and he kills himself cause he's super depressed in life.
Like every Shoujo protagonist.
Can anyone recommend some animes I might like?
Here are some I have watched already and enjoyed:
Ergo Proxy, Monster, Claymore, Gungrave, Steins: Gate
Protonym death note
Aw come on! the characters are typical archetypes and there are time resets! why get interested?
you should be IGN your awesome
sorry I meant an IGN reviewer
What about berserk?
Trash.
First episode was pretty bad since it skips quite a bit of story content from the manga. I feel it's too early to judge at this point. See if you enjoy it in the long run. After all that's what matters. YOUR ENJOYMENT. :)
+Thief Gaius it's cause people expect it to be good when it takes a while for the episodes to air
Matt Lucas No, it's it's because it's horrible. Cheap, ugly, clunky animation, already fucked up the story.
Just read the manga. It's the best berserk will ever be.
Only gonna watch orange and mob psycho...
Won't watch orange til episode 5,not too much a fan of romance and drama most of the time since the story is usually slow
Ik it's not your thing but New Game!'s great xp
Yeah I watched some of New Game and it was quite nice
Oh well, I'm surprised you think so xD
Welcome to the under 301 club, how tough are you.
I AM SUPER STRONG!!! gurrr
+Teeny Tiny Asakura
2 late
If i had to describe what you can do best... I'd have to say 'He can make anything sound boring af'
Edit: Not that that's a bad thing. I just think it's funny^^
Wait woah woah woah...you weren't a fan of one punch man?
rezero
ReZero
Mu'izz Siddique basically
+Mu'izz Siddique so you think, that rezero is garbage?
Armin Selmanovic At first I liked it, then I began to dislike it but it felt okay (it still had merits), now I'd rather watch it rot.
check out ReLIFE, it's a very solid romance drama
The thing is, that both of these aspects aren't that good in the show, but the show does it right to be not focused on one genre.
dude complains about ufotables animation by pointing out "pans" lmaoo bro wtf
this is what an anime hipster does so I can't be mad about it
No mention whatsoever about the fightscenes ahahah hating for the sake of hating.
To be fair he did say he was only reacting to episode 1, fight scene didnt happen until 2
+TheLocatone2 so he skipped episode 0? no wonder his opinion was horrible
High quality animation is pretty pointless to me if it's not animating anything interesting.
Tales of Zestiria IS NOT LIFELESS< YOU tasteless watcher
this season kinda sucks there is nothing interesting.......so disappointing
bruh amanchu, inazuma, battery, days, mob psycho
Said no one ever.
Fam you are high as hell.
re zero
chimera Aensland re zero is from the previous season
First, but I watched a bunch of new anime
Those being Ranma 1/2 and Aria the Natural. But I am planning to watch some of these.
But AnimeEveryday, but I want to ask you. Do you have the Blu-Ray of the whole Aria series, and have you finished Avvenire?
Planning to watch:
Amanchu
Ace Attorney (btw r u gonna review it?)
91 days
don't watch ace attorney the adaptation is very bad they were not even trying i don't recommend it
+ShadowMSXGrafx 111116 “Copyright Outlaw 6” /Lita Mimiya Lukcia Good luck to you keep making a list to not forget your animes
Did I just hear you don't like one punch man? do you have no humour???
here we have a ufotable hater, xDDD and i drop orange at the first episode, xD we have erased already why another shitty copy of it? XD
There is a lot reverse harem and mecha ones (which are pretty much infinite stratos 101 copy) this season which is a major turn off for me.
so don't watch them
Don't watch any though don't you watch any old ones you'll never heard of
Julian di Jorio I don't.
***** there is also well the gay ones and the Yuri ones which again I don't watch but still there is a lot this season again.
+Chris Karapetyan I don't care about those animes ,really a waste I watch a show like 91 days,orange,a much later I think I will enjoy bit wait til episode 10 to watch it all
Mob Psycho 100 was my favourite anime from Summer 2016. The Fall Season is looking...dissapointing, to say the least :(
another great video!! i was so relieved when i saw this in my sub box since i was already fretting over my selection of summer anime considering how hectic my schedule will be in a few weeks *^* thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
(glad to know that 91 days was great in particular though! *u* i've been looking forward to that show for weeeeks)
