| == End of Spring == | | == Spring 2020 Schedule == |
|
| |
|
| * Gundam ends 2 weeks before most things
| | One day we might even be able to resume meetings after COVID-19 and actually watch it... |
| * Kino and 10cm end 1 week after most things
| |
|
| |
|
| So probably a double bill of Kino one week and 10cm the other.

|
| Discussion notes:
| | All running 12 episodes. |
|
| |
|
| Action: Planet With also raised, but enough people like the idea of watching that Thunderbolt Fantasy S2 having seen S1, that we actually had something approaching consensus!
| | Continuing: |
| | | * Action: Babylonia - 10 episodes next cour (accounting for episode 0) |
| Sci-fi: AICO Incarnation running unopposed for sci-fi.
| | * General 2/Sports: Chihayfuru - 13 episodes next cour |
| | |
| Sports: Yes, the sports slot is back, as we actually have things to show in it! maxb proposes that *both* Hanebado and Harukana Recieve are schedule-level. Lestaki also positive on Hanebado. Harukana Receive has been slightly looked at by a couple of others, but no real attempt to discuss which to go with for this season yet.
| |
| | |
| Comedy: Suggestions from Lestaki, not sure if anyone else had evaluated either?
| |
| | |
| Drama: Bunny Girl-senpai is a surprisingly good, surprisingly serious given the title, drama (says maxb). Especially of note is the quality of the amusing banter between the male and female leads. Episode 3 unexpectedly fully resolved the initial arc, suggesting it might be going for the "four mini-arcs in a cour" format - episode 4 won't air until after we meet next, so we're likely to be playing wait-and-see at the next IRL discussion. Yagate Kimi ni Naru was noted to exist, and be something people might want to look at - not sure if anyone has actually watched it, though?
| |
| | |
| General: And so we come to the real quandary... with only one General slot on offer, it's pretty contended, and Huggto Precure has turned out to be actually good, re-opening the discussion on year-long shows. (e.g. Legend of Korra is still there in the backlog waiting for its moment.)
| |
| | |
| === Nominated ===
| |
| | |
| * Planet With (action)
| |
| * Hanebado (sports)
| |
| ** This season's Badminton show
| |
| ** Sports show / intense character drama
| |
| ** Good pacing, plenty happening each episode, but not rushed. Technically you could accuse it of playing the tropes a bit at times, but it does so with such verve and good execution that it's really fun to watch. Had me bursting into laughter on public transport several times :-) --maxb
| |
| * Happy Sugar Life (romance/drama) | |
| * Natsu no Arashi (comedy)
| |
| * White Album 2
| |
| ** The "2" refers to it being the second anime in that setting, but the storyline is entirely independent. The extent of the overlap is that the protagonists like the same pieces of music.
| |
| ** Caution: Mild spoilers exist in some episode titles.
| |
| ** A difficult show to comment on without spoilers. I watched it after having its soundtrack turn up on Google Play Music, and then seeing it turn up in an "if you liked 'Your Lie in April' you might like". In retrospect I should have thought a little more about why it was there. Let's just say the ending isn't all sunshine and happiness and leave it at that. I really liked some parts, and the bits I didn't like I still found sufficiently compelling that I stayed up way too late watching the second half of the series all the way through to the end. Whilst I'm not happy with the chosen direction of the plot, I admire the narrative craft. In the words of http://kotaku.com/white-album-2-is-one-of-last-season-s-hidden-gems-1541072591 (which, if you read, you really need to obey the instructions to skip sections containing spoilers): "If you need a serious romantic drama in your life, there are few better emotional rollercoasters in recent anime than White Album 2. Just don’t expect to come out of it feeling happy and fulfilled." --maxb
| |
| * Ore Monogatari (24)
| |
| ** An unconventional romance, with lots of storytelling to do along the way, and some comedy moments. Though the subject matter is completely different, the viewing experience feels a bit like Shirayuki-hime - there is a continuity, but it's very episodic. --maxb
| |
| * AICO Incarnation (sci-fi/horror)
| |
| * Thunderbolt Fantasy S2 (airing in October)
| |
| * Sirius the Jaeger (action/fantasy)
| |
| * Hugtto! [[PreCure]]
| |
| * Harukana Receive (sports)
| |
| ** The beach volleyball one
| |
| ** Yes really
| |
| ** But probably not in the same schedule as Hanebado, I guess
| |
| ** Early episodes seemed inclined to serve up a fair amount of the fanservice that you might expect from a beach volleyball anime, but it's gradually dialled back leaving a rather sweet, well executed, "mending relationships and growing up through sports" story. --maxb

| * Chihayafuru S2 | | * Ore Monogatari |
| ** How many of us have seen S1? I support Chihayafuru as a great show, but feel that people watching S2 without having seen S1 would be missing out on a lot. --maxb | | ** An unconventional romance, with lots of storytelling to do along the way, and some comedy moments.

| | * Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) |
| | * Kobayashi-san's Dragon Maid 小林さんちのマイドラゴン |
| | ** A light-hearted series with an underlying theme of interpersonal relationships improving people's (and dragons') lives. Best last episode that I've seen for a long time. --maxb |
| | |
| | === Shows saved to revisit as backup options if needed === |
| | |
| | * Fate/cooking (Emiya-san chi kyou no gohan) |
| | ** Semi-short, episodes are ~13 minutes each. |
| | ** maxb: Very little happens in this show, but it does so in a soothingly fun way, apt to leave a smile on your face. |

|
| === Proposals which have not been fully evaluated === | | === Proposals which have not been fully evaluated === |
| * Barakamon (12) | | * The Magnificent Kotobuki |
| ** Slice of life/comedy/drama about Tokyo calligrapher sent to live in remote Japanese island. --YYYY | | ** It may seem like some frivolous fun leaning on aerial combat scenes at first, but it's actually some some fair light sci-fi world building by the time it finishes up, too. --maxb |
| ** Seemed promising, based on reading a review, but after I watched a bit of it, I don't find it enjoyable. There's too much of people being obnoxious or irritating to each other. --maxb
| | * Hugtto! PreCure (general) --lmm |
| * Sabagebu! | | ** Enormous committment that will likely be pushed aside, but mentioning just in case |
| ** Comedy about high school survival game club. -YYY
| | ** Definitely the best PreCure that I have watched, outdoing HeartCatch, Suite, Yes! 5, Yes! 5 Go Go (I dropped that one). I'd be on board with watching this again. It wasn't perfect (I think they could have used a bit more budget in the middle of the third cour) but it was fun, endearing, and critically managed to avoid over-using the monster-of-the-week formula for most of its content, which is a pitfall many of the earlier PreCures have fallen into to various extents. Given the format of the show, it could actually work to decide to watch 1 cour and then reassess, if people are hesitant to sign up for the whole 49 episode run. --maxb |
| ** Watched episode 1. Feeling mostly neutral about it: it was kind of amusing at times, but sometimes felt like just a bunch of gags pasted together into makeshift plot. --maxb | | ** Probably have to give up on this one, as no-one spoke up in favour beyond us two :-/ |
| ** Started episode 1, it didn't really hold my attention --lmm | | * Fire Force (action) -- AIM |
| * Non Non Biyori
| | ** I watched episode 1 - no strong opinions either way. Needs an action fan to opine. --maxb |
| ** I enjoyed the first episode up to a point, but don't really feel the need to see more - it was somewhat amusing but ideally we'd find better things for the schedule --lmm
| | * Kaguya-sama: Love is War season 2 (airs from April) |
| *** Oh, it's not your suggestion originally (as the wiki history would imply) ? --maxb
| | ** I think we all liked season 1 -- maxb |
| **** I suggested when we were brainstorming at dinner, on the grounds that CUAMS had watched it.
| |
| * Very much iyashikei but has some comedic moments. I loved it but I don't think it's everyone's cuppa. --YYY
| |
| ** I have now finished both seasons. I can see why this could in some ways be considered the archetypal slice of life. Much verdant green landscapes and childhood antics. Very satisfying, in the sense of being the anime equivalent of a lazy weekend afternoon lying in the sun. --maxb
| |
| *** Chronology note: the second season actually occurs, in-universe, simultaneously/interleaved with the first season.
| |
| * I don't think Non Non Biyori should go in the comedy slot because half of the audience will be bored to tears. - YYY
| |
| ** I feel that after two seasons of Rabbit, we're due a change of pace from "girls do everyday stuff in their picturesque town", but that Non Non Biyori could still be a good slot 5 in the future. --maxb
| |
| * New Game! (ニューゲーム Nyū Gēmu) | |
| ** Cute girls designing cute vidya characters. -YYY | |
| ** Seen, liked, would watch again. --maxb
| |
| ** Watched one episode - seems fun, would watch more. - maria
| |
| ** Watched at least one episode - willing to watch more - AIM | |
| ** There are now two seasons, but season 1 comfortably stands alone. Season 2 was a fun chance to revisit the characters, but would probably seem a bit same-y if watched consecutively with season 1. --maxb | |
| * Poco's Udon World (うどんの国の金色毛鞠 Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari)
| |
| ** Another propaganda anime for raising birth rates in Japan. Guy from Tokyo goes back to hometown, finds and takes care of a young boy who is actually a tanuki. Hijinks ensue. Also, first anime I've seen with a Maserati in it. -YYY
| |
| * Kobayashi-san's Dragon Maid 小林さんちのマイドラゴン
| |
| ** A light-hearted series with an underlying theme of interpersonal relationships improving people's (and dragons') lives. Best last episode that I've seen for a long time. --maxb | |
| * Ninja Girl and Samurai Master https://anilist.co/anime/21666/NobunaganoShinobi | |
| ** A comedy about a ninja girl serving Nobunaga - keeps the jokes flowing at a consistent pace, but not a serious historical show -- AIM | |
| ** Short episodes (50s opening, 2m40s content), but we can double up for each meeting

| |
| *** Watching that scene once in company was enough. It's a good show but I'm not super enthused. - MP
