A fresh season of Anime is here. Why not blather on to some extent about how we feel about some of these things?
Two Car |
Gristle: | WATCH THEM ALL! | The Sidehackers: the anime. |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | Three may be enough for me; I suspect it’s a one-trick sort of show. | |
Taishou  Chicchai-san |
Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | “He touches his family’s sword to pleasure himself.” |
| Bob: | WATCH THEM ALL! | Bob! Bob! What are you doing?! Wake up, Bob! You don’t have to watch everything from the Taisho era! BOB! (I can’t snap him out of it) BOB IT’S A YAOI |
|
Robomasters |
Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | STEM Bachelors of Science: The Anime |
| Bob: | WATCH THEM ALL! | This season’s 7O3X or just a sports anime with robots? I’m going to watch it all, though! | |
| Kino’s Journey -the Beautiful World- |
Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | One bike-curious lady continues her journey |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | Still have to finish the original Kino’s Journey first, but a tentative yes! | |
| Girls’ Last Tour | Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | Desert Punk meets Casshern Sins meets generic anime design of the late 2000s |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | What if Flip Flappers was Grimdark? Or you know, more so? | |
| Garo: Vanishing Line | Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | Where the only clue is a casino in Reno across from the bowling alley |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | I could go for a good urban fantasy right about now. | |
Boku no Kanojo ga Majime Sugiru Shojo Bitch na Ken |
Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | How do I fuck better? I better read some Dr. Phil-Sensei. |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | If the show is half as fun as the title, I think I will be amused! | |
| Dies irae | Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | We’ve got spirit, how ’bout you, we’ve got spirit, end the world into goo! |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | The historical fiction concept of this magical fantasy is just worthy enough for me to sample. | |
| Anime-Gataris | Gristle: | 3 Episode Watch. | “We only wear pinkuu~ on Wednesdays” |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | Hoping it’s more like Genshiken than just another Slice-of-Life filler show. | |
| Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara |
Gristle: | NO | Drinking waifu is best waifu, unless you’re on a 12 Step Program |
| Bob: | 3 Episode Watch. | It just might be the right choice if you liked Madoka’s mom as a character concept. I’m looking for con cocktail ideas. | |
Urahara |
Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | From outer space to Japan, Harajuku girls. |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | Eh, why not? There’s always that chance it could actually be the new FLCL. I’m sure I’ll know right away. | |
| Netojuu no Susume | Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | Welcome to the NHK, genderswapped. |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | Looks pretty NEET. I hope it’s more Princess Jellyfish than Umaru. | |
| Evil or Live | Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | Japan’s fantasy to curb declining birth rates |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | Vaguely relevant to modern life? Does it have shades of Deadman Wonderland? I’ll give it one chance to impress. | |
Onyankopon |
Gristle: | 1 Episode Watch. | Afrobeat and dancing |
| Bob: | NO | My snap judgement is to wait and see. It does have a unique look. | |
| Just Because! | Gristle: | NO | Watch this? Sure, but “Just Because” |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | I’ll give an original anime a chance if it doesn’t look like a total waste of time. | |
| Children of the Whales | Gristle: | NO | **disables Federation Space until Kirk and Crew bring more Whale Children** |
| Bob: | 1 Episode Watch. | I just have to know what drugs they’re taking. | |
Ousama Game |
Gristle: | NO | Didn’t we play Osama game after 9/11? |
| Bob: | NO | Is Future Diary by any other name just as craptastic? Here’s a bright idea: if your cell phone connects you to murderers, JUST DELETE THE APP! | |
| Konohana Kitan | Gristle: | NO | Kittypaws :3 |
| Bob: | NO | I can already see the forum posts about this from that guy. Please don’t tell me that you like it, or why. I already know. | |
Himouto! Umaru-chan R
|
Gristle: | NO | Fuck this shit. |
| Bob: | KILL IT WITH FIRE |
How about you take your Lays-and-Pepsi lifestyle and just throw yourself and your waifu in the goddamned trash?! | |
| Omiai Aite wa Oshiego, Tsuyoki na, Mondaiji. | Gristle: | KILL IT WITH FIRE |
What if we made those American teacher-sleeping-with-student scandals into an anime? |
| Bob: | KILL IT WITH FIRE |
THIS IS NOT OKAY JAPAN, AND I THINK WE’VE HAD THIS TALK BEFORE. | |
| Imouto sae Ireba Ii. | Gristle: | KILL IT WITH FIRE |
Fuck this shit even more. Who does siscon, anyway?! |
| Bob: | KILL IT WITH FIRE |
Every time I see another one of these on the schedule, I understand more and more why Japanese couples only have sex once. | |
| Code:Realize ~Sousei no Himegimi~  |
Bob: | Honourable Mention: | When the first line is “I want to touch you” … |
Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond |
Gristle: | Honourable Mention: | Bountiful B’s Bring Boobs, Bombs, Bombastic Ballyhoo |
