Hey guys, So I'm new to Hubski, and not so new to anime!!
Here is some SWEET 2016 Writeups for the winter season
Here's where I'm @ so far (not having super lots of time @ this point in DA SEASON)
NOTE THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS HERE :))
I'll start with the new stuff i've watched and in to the stuff i'm continuing from last season. RATING LEVELS ARE 1-5 FOR FOUR CATEGORIEs. One being complete shit (SHIT), TWO Being Trash (TRASH), Three being COULD BE WORSE (MEH), 4 being WOW I'M IMPRESSED ANIME CAN BE THIS DECENT STILL (DECENT) 5 being HOLY SHIT HOW DOES THIS EXIST IN 2016 (ITEXISTS). The four categories are: Art/Animation, Story, Fan Service, Innovation. (Note that fan service is marked with its own COMPLEX GAUGE at which there are probably an infinite number of possibilities)
NEW STUFF
This is some hybrid robot/alternative reality germany stuff going on RITE HERE.
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: MEH
Fan Service: NOT NOTICEABLE
Innovation: NONE HERE
STILL WATCHING: YEH SUR ITS pAVERAGE
#PSO2 The Animation
Average guy plays an MMO: THE ANIMATION
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: MEH
Fan Service: NOT BAD
Innovation TEENY BIT
STILL WATCHING: YEH FOR NOW
FULL CGI. With a decent story about family with a dying mother and two little kids. PROBABLY WILL HAVE FEELS.
Art/Ani: DECENT
Story: DECENT
Fan Service: NONE
Innovation: YES
STILL WATCHING: YES, THIS IS ANIME FOR SERIOUS.
#Myriad Colors Phantom World
Mythology, Digitization, Demons, AND ABSURD AMOUNTS OF FAN SERVICE. This anime almost isn't watchable due to how completely in your face the fan service is. NOT TO MENTION the lore of the world is utter shit and all over pulling the shittiest parts of everything into it to try to give it a 'FUN' feel but just ends up being JARRING TRASH
Art/Ani: TRASH
Story: TRASH
Fan Service: IN YOUR FACE CONSTANTLY
Innovation: MOST TRASHY 2016?
STILL WATCHING: NOPE, DROPPED THIS TRASH LIKE MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
#Koukaku no Pandora
THIS is an example of FUN ABSURD anime. Made by the same studio that produced 'EVERYONE IS A LANCER' INC. This show's ridiculousness rivals even FLCL.
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: IT EXISTS
Fan Service: KIND OF?
Innovation: MOST FUN ANIME 2016
STILL WATCHING: SHIT YEAH
Hai to Gensou no #Grimgar
MMO? Check. Different then other MMO animes? Check. Trash? Not sure yet. Starts off pretty solid and hopefully they build the lore of the world better then SWORD TRASH ONLINE. Follows under powered kids who suck at MMOs.
Art/Ani: DECENT
Story: DECENT
Fan Service: IN THE DIALOGUE
Innovation: HOPEFULLY
STILL WATCHING: Yep. Probably gonna watch this one through.
NEW COUR
This story follows a guy with amnesia into a Fuedal style world. I like these types of anime (Similar to The Twelve Kingdoms in my mind).
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: MEH
Fan Service: PLENTY
Innovation: NOT RLY
STILL WATCHING: Yessssssssss.
Take an Anime and build it entirely out of fan service in an action setting. You've got GATE.
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: TRASH
Fan Service: 100%
Innovation: WRONG DIRECTION
STILL WATCHING: Even though it's a heaping pile of shit, I LIKE IT ENOUGH TO KEEP WATCHING
Mobile Suit #Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
Art/Ani: MEH
Story: DECENT
Fan Service: A TINY BIT
Innovation: NOPE
STILL WATCHING: This anime stands out for being what a standard quality anime SHOULD be like in this day and age.
I don't even know at this point.
Art/Ani: TRASH
Story: TRASH
Fan Service: NONE
Innovation: NONE
STILL WATCHING: Since it's been derailed from the manga the story has gotten significantly shittier and more cookie cutter. FML the story was decent before.
SO! Here you have my RUN DOWN of the current state of anime:
CGI is a big thing this season. The amount of Fan Service is getting RETARDED. Anime doesn't seem to like to be very innovative lately minus this push for cheaper costs via AS MUCH CGI AS POSSIBLE.
