What anime are you watching/gonna watch this season?

[Black Reaper]

Apalogies if there is already a thread for this season, but what are you gonna watch?, and why?
I'm gonna be watching Fate, but i don't know what else to watch apart from that
I'm talking about the fall season btw

 

[Elfgore]

Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken- What can I say, I love cute and adorable things. Going by the first three chapters of the manga, this is going to be just that.

I have a current interest in pretty much every anime airing this coming season. I'm currently in a "expanding my horizons" phase for anime, trying to leave my romantic comedy/harem comfort zone. Trying to go into more action-based shows and sci-fi stuff. Too bad I've been on a manga craze lately, haven't had any time to watch anime.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Fate/Stay Night, as well as Psycho-Pass 2, and maybe also check out Seven Deadly Sins and Sanzoku no Musume Ronja.

 

[StriderShinryu]

I'm really looking forward to Akatsuki no Yona but I'm not sure if any of the streaming sites are going to be carrying it. :/

That's the only big one that's stuck out to me so far. I'll just end up sampling others once an episode or two are out to see what else appeals to me.

 

[Risingblade]

Gundam Try Fighters and Recongista

Psycho-Pass

I'm not interest in anything this season except for maybe two or three things. Last season was incredible. We had Terror In Resonance, Barakamon, and Tokyo Ghoul. I don't see that selection being topped for a while.

Which is why I'm watching Psycho-Pass. Never seen it before but it's a damn-fucking-fine cop drama. Really great premise and interesting scenarios. Gonna try and finish it before the second season starts. I just hope the original writers are behind this one. I know the animation studio changed, so I'm having some worries.

 

[sextus the crazy]

Probably nothing. The first Chuunibyuu and Psycho-Pass seasons are the newest stuff I've watched, as I tend to stick to finding slightly older recommended series. ATM, I'm watching Gurren Lagenn, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, and possibly Fate/Zero.

 

[ryazoph]

Finished watching Psycho-pass on Netflix, it's great. Wonder what season two will bring.

 

[Theminimanx]

Fate/Stay Night is the only one from this season I'll be following. Aside from that, I'm watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, and it's pretty damn great.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Man, am I out of the loop when it comes to recent anime. The only one I even followed in the past years was Gundam UC, and now that that's done I suppose I'm only looking forward to Reconguista in G. First episode came out yesterday, I think, so I only saw images for now.

 

[NotThePANTSU]

I recently finished "Aldnoah.Zero", "Zankyo no Terror" and "Barakamon".

Been meaning to watch the rest of "Psycho Pass: New Edit" before series 2. I believe I've only got as far as episode 5.

~Edit: Somehow managed to forget "Log Horizon" Series 2. I need sleep...~

Started "Love Stage" but decided it would be better to read the manga after being blinded by the bright flashing censorship and similarly gave up on "Tokyo Kushu" after watching an episode of mostly black screens. Given the nature of the manga I was surprised when I heard they were going to make an animé adaptation and the end result embodies exactly why I questioned the decision. I also didn't like how they had Rizé materialize within Kaneki's mind so soon after the transplant instead of develop as a coping mechanism during a certain centipede-related-event.

Might give "Terraformars" a go but the cockroach-people look so absurdly-silly there's a good chance I'll find it difficult to watch.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I may finish watching Evangelion. That's all.

 

[Kae]

Probably Psycho Pass 2, because I liked the first season, Fate Stay Night because Fate/Zero was really good and Log Horizon because the first season was entertaining enough, I have no idea what new stuff that isn't a sequel is coming out though.

 

[Uriel_Hayabusa]

I'll definitely be watching the new Fate/Stay Night series. Maybe Psycho-Pass 2 as well but that depends on how well I like the first season once I'm done with that (only watched the first two episodes just yesterday).

 

[Fractral]

I think Log Horizon season 2 starts soon, so I'll probably be watching that. I haven't watched much recently; I started Knights of Sidonia but stopped after the first episode had rather a lot of... tentacles...
Actually, Log Horizon is the first anime I have ever gotten into while it is till airing. I'd like to watch more anime while it's running, but I never know what's on.

 

[Izanagi009_v1legacy]

Need to watch Fate/Zero since I heard it's good, the concept seems fun and Urobuchi is doing the writing so I can expect something decent

Psycho Pass 2, Log Horizon 2, Terraformers and the new Fate/Stay Night are on my docket.

Issue is of course is if any of these shows will actually turn out well. I thought Aldnoah would be worth my time and well, it didn't turn out well. Lets see how it goes

Anyway, I will be posting reviews and impressions when applicable so you will see my reactions and I have a feeling Elfgore will do the same.

 

[TheSapphireKnight]

Fate/Stay Night and Log Horizon season 2 are at the top of my list. I still need to watch the first season of Psycho Pass before possibly checking out season 2.

Other things I will be looking out for: Both Studio Mappa series, Chaika season 2, Kiseijuu(Parasite), Terra Formars. I will probably add or drop things as the season goes on.

 

[Username Redacted]

Given that I'm going to be very short on time over the next few months I'm probably only going to be focused on Psycho Pass and Hitsugi no Chaika during the upcoming season.

 

[NotThePANTSU]

Kiseijuu(Parasite)

It's one of my favourite manga and, while I'm still looking forward to it, I'm a little disappointed they altered the protagonist to fit the current trend. The vulnerable straight-laced 'lovable nerd' (and oft-unwitting harem-master) stereotype is fine, and I realise the original was a product of the 90's tastes, but I would have preferred they stuck to the slightly idealised jack-of-all-trades 'everyman' because at this point such a character has become a novelty I could appreciate.

I find the differences in characterisation, even the subtle ones, quite jarring and, although I could make a much stronger case were I to go into to great detail (nit-picking to hell and back as it were), I think even a mere side-by-side comparison goes some of the way to demonstrating my point:

I realise the intended purpose is creating a more relatable character but it's beginning to grate a little. It's part of the reason I liked Aldnoah's Inaho as much as I did as he didn't cack his kecks at the sight of his own shadow.

Also, considering their near-permanent state of abject terror, I'm surprised more modern-protagonists don't suffer heart-attacks.
