I notice you say that about a lot of ecchi shows, but isn't that like missing like half the point of the show?

Like saying Jojo would be better if they didn't have stands.

I guess I'm a fan of the tone and comedy of the ecchi shows more than anything else. They are generally, really fun shows to watch and put a smile on my face. I mean, I'm immature at heart, so ecchi comedy/sophomoric humor is always fun for me.

H.S DxD New ep.4

Yes, mother approved "naked aprons" are always the best way to go. Issei you lucky dog you.

Seriously speaking though, this show would be pretty fun without all the boobs flashing around. The action scenes are, generally, well done, the characters are interesting, the world is interesting, the comedy is on point and the tone is great; it's a really FUN show to watch. Just so many nips man, there's like, never a "good" time to watch an episode........

Don't you watch anime at work. I wouldn't advise to watching DxD or any other ecchi show at work.

Fair warning, it takes Log Horizon some time to really hit its stride.

Oh man, I remember this show being such an utter slog before I dropped it

Oh man what no, I saw it had two seasons and was happy I had a decent amount of episodes to watch but if it's too slow paced not sure I'd want to put in more time.

I have to say, the dissonance between how Bleach ended and how Naruto did is something else. They both declined, but Naruto gets the heartwarming parade while Bleach got told to fuck off.

Understood the situation. Do watch anime at my work during the slow day here and my coworker know I watch it but as someone​ who is senior there, no one really say much about it except saying kid to me once a while.

since you only have to get to $50 for free shipping it's not terrible, but I think the sentai store flash sale the other week had almost all of the shows on there for a few dollars cheaper.

I'm looking through now to see if there is anything of interest for me but I see little busters for $20 which I know was $17.99 per part the other weekend.

my point not being that this is a bad sale, but instead that sentai store will likely have another sale in the next few months that will let you save a decent amount if you plan to make a large order.

edit: there are a few shows on sale on right stuf that weren't on sale in the last sentai sale.

[phaze]

It's not like the mecha is the star of the whole thing. It's involvement is cool, but it's not the main focus.

There's a gattai in every episode, your argument is invalid.

Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 500 – Hidden Leaf Story, The Perfect Day for a Wedding, Part 7: The Message END

So it's seven eps of just wedding stuff, starting right where Shikamaru arc ended ? Might take it up.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

The last sub-only release I bought from them, Haikyu, had those ugly as sins yellow subs.

I thought they stopped for a bit I guess they went back to yellow Haikyuu!! is still unopened for me.

 

[zulux21]

Are these the guys with yellow subtitles and other issues?

even if by default they have yellow subtitles, if you watch them on a computer, most video players allow you to change the color and style of the subtitles as long as they aren't hard coded (which they wouldn't be for a release like this)

I don't know of any other major issues with sentai releases though.

and I think the last few I watched all had white subtitles.

 

[TUSR]

Eromanga is definitely not going to headline the Spring OT.

 

[Clov]

Seriously? The last disc release I bought from them (Gatchaman Crowds Insight on BD, which released in November) had yellow subs. In fact, every Sentai release I own, with the exception of Hidamari Sketch S2 on BD (I'm assuming due to an error) has yellow subs.

Sentai discs have been known to have issues with video quality and QC, though these issues have been less prominent over the last few years. I would check out reviews of the discs themselves before buying, since Sentai tends to be quite the mixed bag.

Some Ideas:


Attack on Titan 2
Season 2 of:

Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.
After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Based on Hajime Isayama's award-winning manga, Shingeki no Kyojin follows Eren, along with his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and his childhood friend Armin Arlert, as they join the brutal war against the titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Sword Oratoria

Sword princess Aiz Wallenstein. Today, once again, the strongest female swordsman heads to the giant labyrinth known as the "Dungeon" along with her allies. On the 50th floor where mysteries and threats such as a decayed dragon's corpse that crumbles to ash and an irregularity that creeps ever closer to the party loom, Aiz calls for the wind and heads deeper into the darkness of the Dungeon. Eventually, she finds herself meeting a boy for the first time. "Um, are you OK?" In the Labyrinth City of Orario, the contrasting stories of the boy and the girl intersect!

My Hero Academia 2
Season 2 of:

The appearance of "quirks," newly discovered super powers, has been steadily increasing over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities from manipulation of elements to shapeshifting. This leaves the remainder of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one such individual.
Since he was a child, the ambitious middle schooler has wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku's unfair fate leaves him admiring heroes and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All Might. All Might's quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has chosen Izuku to be his successor!
Enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku enrolls in UA High, a prestigious high school famous for its excellent hero training program, and this year's freshmen look especially promising. With his bizarre but talented classmates and the looming threat of a villainous organization, Izuku will soon learn what it really means to be a hero.

Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul

Thousands of years ago, the ancient dragon Bahamut wrought havoc upon the land of Mistarcia, a world where both gods and demons live amongst mankind. Working together to prevent the world's destruction, the rival deities barely managed to seal Bahamut, agreeing to split the key between them so that the dragon would remain eternally imprisoned.
With the world safe from the destruction of Bahamut, it is business as usual for bounty hunters like Favaro Leone. Living a laid-back, self-serving lifestyle, the amoral Favaro goes about his work while on the run from fellow bounty hunter Kaisar Lidfard, a righteous man who swears vengeance upon Favaro. However, Favaro's carefree life is thrown into chaos when he meets Amira, a mysterious woman who holds half of the key to the world's fragile peace.
Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis tells the story of a group of unlikely heroes who find themselves caught in the middle of an epic clash between gods and demons, forced to carve their own path in the face of the imminent storm.

What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?

Five hundred years have passed since the humans went extinct at the hands of the fearsome and mysterious 'Beasts'. The surviving races now make their homes up on floating islands in the sky, out of reach of all but the most mobile of Beasts.
Only a small group of young girls, the Leprechauns, can wield the ancient weapons needed to fend off invasions from these creatures. Into the girls’ unstable and fleeting lives, where a call to certain death could come at any moment, enters an unlikely character: a young man who lost everything in his final battle five hundred years ago, the last living human awakened from a long, icy slumber.
Unable to fight any longer, Willem becomes the father that the girls never had, caring for and nurturing them even as he struggles to come to terms with his new life, in which he feels the pain of helplessly waiting for his loved ones to return home from battle that his 'Daughter' once felt for him so long ago. Together, Willem and the girls gradually come to understand what family means and what is truly worth protecting

The Eccentric Family 2
2nd Season of:

Kyoto has been populated by groups of tanuki and tengu for years, living alongside humans who are oblivious to the existence of these creatures. Yasaburou Shimogamo is the third son of an influential tanuki family who spends his carefree days taking care of an old tengu, observing humans through his ability to shapeshift, and dealing with the mysterious woman named Benten.
Behind the peace and tranquility, however, is a painful memory from long ago as Yasaburou's father, head of the tanuki community, was killed and eaten by a group of humans known as the Friday Fellows. Uchouten Kazoku follows the trials and tribulations of the Shimogamo brothers as they struggle to avoid their own grisly demise while coming ever closer to unraveling the truth behind their father's death.

As the Moon, So Beautiful

Kotarou Azumi and Akane Mizuno became third year students at junior high school and are classmates for the first time. These two, along with fellow classmates, Chinatsu Nishio and Takumi Hira, relate to their peers through mutual understandings and feelings. As their final year at junior high school progresses, the group overcome their challenges to mature and become aware of changes in themselves

Sakura Quest

In the wake of a nationwide movement during the Bubble economy period, a small town in the countryside has revived its "mini-nation" tourism program; hiring five girls as travel ambassadors. The series will follow a year's time of the five girls as they work in the tourism agency of a small failing town in an effort to reinvigorate it

Fukumenkei Noise

Nino, a girl who likes to sing, experienced two farewells in the past. First, with her first love, Momo, and second, with Yuzu, a boy who composes music. But upon those two farewells, she made a promise with each of them: to continue singing until they find her voice again. Time has passed, and now these three are in high school...?!

Clockwork Planet

One day, a black box suddenly crashed into the house of the high school dropout Naoto Miura. Inside it was a female automaton. The endless cycle of failure and success.
The world that does change and the mankind that does not change. At a time where reality and fantasy are screaming, the encounters of these two make the gears of fate move!

I think Eccentric Family 2 is the only thing I'm genuinely excited for on that list, there are a few others I'm interested but usually with a caveat or two. What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?, why that title and why Leprechauns? Still shades of Gunslinger Girls have me interested but Gosick didn't grab me which is the only other thing of the directors I've seen anything of. Has anyone read the source LNs or the manga adaptation?

I was kinda hoping that Minko and Tohru could form and develop a nice relationship throughout the show, after overcoming the initial struggles at least. So that you could then enjoy this stuff on the side. But yeh, that just ain't happening with Okada. Though, people actually becoming a pair before the show's over or near over hardly happens in anime to begin with.

Fricking Nagi no Asukara was terrible in that aspect, too. Everything's just drama with basically no catharsis and relationship 'pleasantness' to give you a break from time to time.
