Summer 17 Anime Season

[bassgs435]

Wait, KonoSuba got a third season?

Nah. Just an OVA bundled with the LN. S1 also got one

[Skull]

Watching:
Sakura Quest (Leftover)
Owarimonogatari
Welcome to the Ballroom
The Reflection

Will Try:
Jigoku Shoujo: Yoi no Togi
Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu
Hajimete no Gal

A far more interesting season than the current one.

[Five_X]

Gonna FAP and not much else new, probably.

[Mattias]

Definitely watch:
Monogatri: It's more Monogatari
Fate/Apo: I hope this is the good A-1, like Perfect Insider, and not Asterisk War or GATE.
Kakegurui: This manga is so great. Mappa will hopefully make it really pretty (Unless they go the same way as they did with Days, and lean heavily on the bad CGI)

Try out:
Hajimate no Gal: Galko was really funny, so I'm hoping for something similar here.
New Game: More Yagami.
Gamers: New game in High school could be better for a more expanded cast, or worse for being a high school club show.
The Refelction: Seems like a modern version of Concrete Revolutio.

Holdovers:

Sakura Quest
Shingeki no Bahamut
Re:Creators
Hero Academia
Nobunaga no Shinobi

I'll try a few others here and there but nothing else seems to grab me yet.

[Raylen Cypher]

Alright, looks like my all-time low record of seasonal anime watching is over.

Interest:
Gamers!
Hajimete no Gal
Fate/Apocrypha
Isekai wa Smartphone no Tomo ni.
Koi to Uso
Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e
Tsuredure Children
Enmusubi no Youko-chan
Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita.

Curious:
Re:Creators
Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season (I wanna see what happens between Todoroki and his mother.)

[RoydGolden]

Huh, that isekai smartphone novel is getting an anime adaptation? Add that to my "might watch" list then...

[Mattias]

Well, the first episode of Kakegurui seems pretty on point. Crazy eyes, exaggerated expressions, voice with just the right amount of insanity. Holy shit that OP and ED are gorgeous, and catchy. And I didn't see any of the blatantly terrible CG extras MAPPA tends to toss into crowd shots, maybe since all the crowds were pretty static to begin with.

[Leftovers]

[Sesto]

i want hayamin to berate me

[Paitouch]

[R.Lock]

Uh-oh. I wanted to like Kakegurui's OP and ED, but I can't.

Geez.

[AmADo VII]

I like Fate/Zeyo, based Ufotable.

so Kanesada is Shiki's sword isn't it?

[Rafflesiac]

Kakegurui is exactly as great as I was expecting.

That OP.

Knight's and Magic, what did they do to you?
The first episode sped through 15 chapters of the original material. All the character and world introduction, establishing relationships, setting up the plot - skipped! Cut in favor of new, stupid, action scenes I guess. At this rate, they'll run out of material in 8 or 9 episodes at most.
If I hadn't read the original material, this would be a nearly incomprehensible mess of bad animation and poor writing. Instead, it's a comprehensible Frankenstein's monster of recognizable bits, horrifically sewn together to create something that looks like a real show, but is actually just a reanimated corpse.

I had hopes, but after this - no. Just... no.

Reminds me of the time the Blazblue anime adaptation crammed the entire first game into just two episodes...

so Kanesada is Shiki's sword isn't it?

IIRC cuz i looked it up when UFORanbu was announced, there was a swordsmith family that made multiple swords and called them Kanesada, the one from first ep is Izumi-no-kami Kanesada he`s made by 11th generation of the family, theres also Kasen Kanesada in Touken Ranbu, he`s made by 2nd generation
Shiki`s sword is Kuji Kanesada ,who knows which generation made it...

[bassgs435]

I love Knights and Magic. The MC has the objectively correct life goals and philosophy. It's always good when you can find an elightened soul.

so Kanesada isn't a specific name given to a sword. thanks for the info.

just watched Kakegurui, didn't know that Meari was voiced by Nitocris.

Why are there mechs who exclusively use magic in Knight and Magic? Isn't the point of giant robots to fight other giant things that you can't normally deal with, not use magic which everyone already can do? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to instead have a small group of wizards on foot cover your magic artillery needs?
