How can Konosuba 2 not be hyped to death at this point? (Yes even with trash art)
Konosuba is cheap comedy, nobody cares about hype for comedy shows. And even then, Gintama will always be king.
So somehow you invented a different type of hype for comedy shows, distinguishing them from other types of hype. Okay.
Blabla, you know very well that a good serious story is always more interesting than some silly comedy. I love Gintama, but Iīd always choose something like Death Note over it. (and thatīs a bad example, because Gintama, unlike Konosuba, has good serious story arcs, too)Quote:

This is my point about quality vs. preference. You may not like comedy as much as stories with gravitas, doesn't mean they are worse (i.e. OPM).
And my point is that this is forced shit-argument. Preferences here, preferences there, please tell me instances of when the anime community at large was hyped for a comedy-series (not counting Gintama).
People are hyped for BERSERK, for Blame!, for Sword Art Online, for Kimo no Na. There is no similar hype for shows like Konosuba.
Says you? Konosuba is hyped as shit in Japan right now, and even in the west. OPM is also a comedy show, as much as you deny it in your head, and that was hyped to death too. And why wouldn't I count Gintama? It's also a comedy. Having some serious parts doesn't make it suddenly not a comedy. That's like saying Friends is not a comedy show...
Finally got around to watching Maid Dragon.
It's not quite up to the level of the best Minami-ke seasons (because of the fantasy elements), but it is damn close. This might be the comedy of the season for me, tied with Konosuba.
As far as first episodes go, it was really funny. Had me laughing quite a bit. Hopefully it holds up.
This is a very good season for comedies, and I haven't even tried them all.
I take it you'd also like to acquire Fafnir's phone number? Could be handy when encountering a problem and not knowing what to do.Quote:

I was looking forward to Granblue Fantasy, but I couldn't stand the useless lizard critter with an annoying voice more than a single episode. Checking the second episode, it seemed to hang around till the end, so it looks likely it's there to stay. Compared to Zestiria, this seemed very much like a light affair, so I'm not so devastated I can't watch it, but nevertheless it's a pity.
So... sorry for bumping this, but I think I've watched almost all I have an interest for from the Spring season, so I'm looking back to the Winter season, and there's not much apparently here to watch on first glance.
Any general recommendations?
I haven't watched any KonoSoba... should I watch that?
Watched some Youjo Senki, and that was AWESOME.
Will continue watching Tales of Zestaria of course.
Little Witch Academy has been great as well.
Beyond that, having trouble with what else is there in this season is worth giving a try at least for me...
Onihei maybe?
Chain Chronicle?
ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.?
Thanks!
Keep watching Youjo Senki, hands down that seasonīs best anime.
That's a certainty... was looking for what else. =)Quote:

LWA was great, but didn't really come into its own until this current spring season.
I mean, fuck, Maid Dragon had better action sequences than most shonen series. Including the incredible fight scenes from Hero Academia in the end of the spring season.
I thought you were exaggerating... BUT FUCK! What an annoying VA that shit has.Quote:

Disagree, Ryll. Dragon Maid was nice, but not a stand-out, and KonoSuba S2 was honestly disappointing after the much better first season.
Are any of you guys actually watching the 2nd season of (I don't know the exact name) "My mediocre Heroine" (or something like that)
You know, the show with 4 hot girls and an Otaku MC that wants to creat a date-sim game.
I watch it for the girls, because they are damn fine, but the show itself is decent enough because it doesn't take itself seriously (as in, they are aware that the MC is a "I'm sorry, could you repeat that again, I couldn't hear you" loser =)
Pretty sure they even made him read that part out of the novel in one of the earlier episodes
Saekano Flat?
Of course I watched it. It was one of the better three series the spring season.
The fact that two of the girls have a professional love-rivalry for each other is as far as I know, unique, as is one of girls acting more or less as the male lead's wife. There is this complete self-awareness of the series, that calls out cliché events as they come and eviscerates them. It's pleasant that the girls exist as their own entities, and not a reflections of the male lead's or audience's tastes. Which is kind of the whole point, because that's the kind of game the male lead wanted to make, because no one else has done so.
Even the final episode, where the 4th girl called out that she got sidelined that season.
