Hibike:Euphinium is pretty good, not gonna blow your mind storywise or anything, but it's worth watching at the very least. In terms of atmosphere and animation it's obviously beautiful because kyoto
To get maximum enjoyment out of that show I feel like you probably have to be in or had been in a band though, cus it feels pretty distant to me storywise

I've been in my own band a few years back, but we disbanded because both of my members transferred to new schools.

Yeah, I think I'll be watching it.

Also I've recently finished Black Bullet and

Yeah, it's widely agreed that black bullet is pretty garbage

Also by band I meant like an orchestra kind of band, not like a 4 person band

Shame. The animation quality was good too. But then there's still ufotable's Gods Eater incoming and this new anime about schools and powers incoming this June 30 as well. Can't wait for autumn!

I believe it was "Charlotte"

There's this upcoming Joukamachi no Dandelion too. I believe it's like Jinsei and GJ-bu and Seitokai Yakuindomo with simple daily melancholies and jokes...
This one has action though.

Ok I found all the upcoming anime this 2015 : https://www.livechart.me/summer-2015/tv

Anichart master race.
Again, a lot of these shows this season look boring on paper, but I'm hoping for a few that surpass my expectations of them. And there are a couple that are semi-guaranteed to be at least watchable

Is anyone still watching Nagato Yuki-chan? Is me dropping it the completely correct decision?

Yeah I don't know I just found all of it stupid and shallow and this version Yuki was never best girl material to begin with. I'm surprised it's going to be more than 12 episodes.

I was only in it for more long-haired Haruhi material but this is too much.

Don't watch much anime. Started watching Ano Hana recently. Seems pretty good.

If you liked Ano Hana, I'd strongly recommend Ano Natsu de Matteru

for lack of any other guidance lately i've just started watching whatever /a/ has been talking about and it's been getting less interesting and more just cute shit please help

- hellsing was great
- code geass was great
- fate zero was great
- berserk was a great story but poorly executed (manga 10x better)
- madoka magica was good although the rebellion movie ruined everything
- FLCL i have no idea what that was about
- nichijou had a sense of humor i appreciate, really enjoyed
- hitsugi no chaika was good although the ending was shit
- k-on had a lot of character, good humor, enjoyed
- fate kaleid prisma illya was good, it was wack seeing so many characters from fate zero again. almost felt like a continuation of the series, albeit way less dark and way more kawaii
- yuru yuri had some good humor but it was mostly just lesbian schoolgirls being lewd
- plastic nee-san was actually hilarious, it's a shame there was only about 30 minutes of it
- haganai was ok, interesting character development
- kiniro mosaic was too cute it made me feel a little bit sick why did i watch this

recommend me some animu i might like? would be nice to steer more towards action/mind games genres rather than all this slice of life shit i've ended up watching
