Is there a fancy image with all the fall shows yet? Don't even know where to look to check or how better to describe what I'm referencing...

ani.chart is what I use.

It's always up to date and have the months of what season anime is coming out as well TBA anime in the future.

http://anichart.net/fall

That's perfect! Thanks!

Let's see then... So far it's:

• Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
• Log Horizon season 2 (yesss!)
• Psycho-Pass 2

So not a whole lot to interest me at this point. Could always change as they start airing, like with the current season.

Ohh, that's amazing!
Thanks pal. :D

The power of google people.... How else do you guys keep up to date on animes now a days? :lol

I don't, that's how. :lol

Anime news network and anime planet. Simple as that :p

Random Curiosity.

Or that. :lol

See at least you use something... Not like... Algo over there......

Random Curiosity is a page dude. :p

Nope.

This is all I have to say.

"Onore Algo."

Looks interesting, I'll give it a shot but I can't help but be distracted by the fact that the main mech is bacially a cobalation of Strike Freedom, Destiny Gundam, and the Lancelot from Code Geass.

With the addition of a Guren Nishiki cockpit.

Oh, I see a bit of the Valvrave in there too.

It'd look nice alongside The Fool.

What is it?

Cross Ange.

Thanks...*now to hope for dub and model kits*

I have no issue with the mecha itself, I think the design itself is rather unqiue. It's just the uninspiried features that make it a little distracting.

It does look kinda like someone just took a bunch of popular mech designs and threw them together in a blender.

Eureka Seven episode 9

The first half of this episode was okay. The second half just went completely dark and awesome. Backstory, moral ambiguity, Renton becoming a Gekko state member, it was a pretty good episode

Marwaru Penguindrum...

What the fuck man.

Don't question it. Just don't. Enjoy it as you watch.

Can I at least question if they make plushes of the penguins? I want one.


I also saw some episodes of Kokoro Connect and Psycho-Pass.

I saw quite a few of Urobuchi's staples in the first 3 episodes of Psycho-Pass.

That, you can question :lol

They totally do:

Why do you like making peoples wallet cry?

To make up for the lack of one? :lol

Before hitting Monogatari: second Season, I Decided to check out Eden of the East and its two movies and I got to say it was a thrilling ride of a series. I definitely recommend this to anyone.

Isn't that the show with those guys with the penguin suits with giant boners?

No.
That's Daimidaler, and they are supposedly real penguins, with long frontal tails...

Oh.
Suuuuuuuuuure.

Six episodes into Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, and I'm wondering why its taken me so long to watch. Its absolutely fantastic!

The first episode made me think it was just going to be another generic space/mecha show (the constant amount of technobabble wasn't helping), but then once the actual plot hit I was immediately hooked. The characters are brilliant, the art is stunning and I love the fact the show has an actual language barrier between Ledo and the population of Gargantia.

This is very quickly becoming my favourite Urobuchi series.

Love Live! School Idol Project (Season1): After finding out that her school is about to close Kousaka Honoka comes up with a plan to save it, make a school idol group to gather interest and get new students.
Of course that plan is batsh#t crazy and as such getting it into motion and supported will be harder than she expected.

Love Live is first and foremost a way to promote all the singles, concert and various merchandise regarding the idol group, but that's not a problem by itself, and Love Live is surprisingly more substantial than just a group of schoolgirls being all moe and stuff.
I mean, yeah they'll be moe, and heck everybody is blushing all the time, but that's unavoidable.

Love Live main gripping point for me is the struggle required to make the idol group work, they don't simply jump into a stage and become popular, they have to exercise, compose and practice a lot, in a way it reminds of sports film, fitting given the degree of physical intensity required for such a job.
In fact I find the practice way more interesting than the actual choreographies, the awkward mix of traditional animation and CG models has never been my thing.
The songs are catchy enough, though I kind of prefer the ones that don't show up in the anime, Wonderful Rush is neato~

The characters are enjoyable, they mostly follow basic archetypes, but rarely fall into the zone of annoyment, honestly, chances are you'll really like at least one character.

And as seems to be the rule with these kind of shows, everything goes dramatic at the end in an attempt to draw emotions from the viewer... *sigh*
It's not terrible, Honoka blaming herself after being sick makes sense, and Kotori's wish to study fashion abroad is consistent with her character, but I still do not get why shows that aim to present a lighthearted and sweet world, love to go all bitter and melancholic towards the end, it just makes me scratch my head.

As a whole Love Live is apretty easy show to watch, and that's the main thing that comes to mind, it's not heavy or overbearing, but has enough of a story to be gripping, it's a decent way to pass the time.

Nico Nico Ni~

Minor rant incoming.

I've just hit the "big twist" in Gargantia and as good as it was, its made me realise how much of a one-trick pony Gen Urobuchi is. That's four series I've watched by him, and all four have had pretty much exactly the same "shocking reveal".

Madoka - Omg the witches are people!
Psycho-Pass - Omg the Sibyl System is people!
Gargantia - Omg the Hideauze are people!
Gaim - Omg the Invess are people!

Granted Psycho-Pass did it a little bit differently than the other three, but when you break it down all of his series seem to be exactly the same themes and concepts with different backdrops. As much as I want to love the guy's work because conceptually it all looks and sounds amazing, but its really hard to when you begin to see his story patterns a mile off.

Give me a call when Aldnoah.Zero has its twist. I'm not watching it but I'll be curious to see if its just the same thing once again.

Oooh so I'm not the only one who's gotten over the Urobuchi hype after realizing this. :P At the same time I do still really enjoy his shows, so... Not gonna really complain.

Unless it's revealed in the last two episodes that ZOMG ALDNOAH IS PEOPLE (which is incredibly unlikely), Aldnoah.Zero does fortunately seem to break out of that mold. Its twists were all political.

Should name this Season 1 review. :P

aldnoah zero's twist was it ripped off turn a gundam

You have to remember Urobuchi no longer writes for Aldnoah.Zero anymore after episode 3 he's just the creator of it now so whatever the writer next move for twist or such is all on him now.

You are right, thanks.

Indeed, with a new guy in charge the show should move away a bit from the usual Urobuchi tropes.
