Bungo Stray Dogs and Re:Zero is also good. Gonna try to read BSD's manga because of Raptors reaction to it. Haha.

I feel like this is bait.

The problems I have with Bungou Stray Dogs are very core related. I haven't seen the anime for myself, but I have a hard time believing that whatever the problems the manga has isn't shared with the anime itself. It just may not be as severe by virtue of just not going on for as long and not augmenting it's already major issues.

Quote from theTDguy
So I watched OPM and in my view.... it was good. Not great but good. It had nice action, nice animation and sometimes good comedy. Though it seemed kind of overrated from the criticism I've heard. Don't get me wrong. It was a pretty enjoyable show but it didn't really have anything special. And the things that were special were downplayed. For example the subversive scenes that challenged some anime tropes were comedy gold. Like this scene were someone drops an extreme pile of exposition, which is kinda expected from animes, and the other character gets so angry and tells him to shut up. That was perfect. But I would like to see a bit more of that. Furthermore the first episodes didn't really progressed much of the plot. They set up some characters that were ultimately useless, at least for now, and had little character development. Okay there was some but... it wasn't that strong. So overall it had good ideas and if I wouldn't hear so much praise for this show I wouldn't be as disappointed. Or maybe I would abandon the show at the first few episodes because it didn't have any actual cohesive story or arch, not unlike an unfocused melody. So guess it is the praise that made me watch the whole show and I'm glad I did. Though even if I had seen more than a dozen of animes it still wouldn't be in my top 5. Perhaps not even in my top 10.


It's a comedy that parodies superhero stories. I don't think you'll enjoy it like you should if you expect anything more than what it is.

I just watched Shokugeki no Souma and I have to say that I really like the part where [is]they cook some good food[/is] and I also think that it's really [is]a funny show that has some gags but they don't last long enough to be repetitive[/is]. But most importantly [is]this is just a test post for the inline spoilers yay[/is].

Thank you captain obvious. I meant what about it makes it great and why it doesn't deserve to be overlooked.

Yo AoT season 2 officially announced for Spring 2017. After the unimaginable hype from 2013 I seriously hope this one's going to have better animation quality. And that they'll keep Guren no Yumiya for the OP. That was like, the soul of the hype.
