As long as it doesn't take itself seriously, BOFURI looks like it will be enjoyable.

Doesn't look like HiDive has much this season. The only exclusive is BanG Dream S3, also added Magia Record and Darwin's Game, and Ahiru no Sora is continuing...

I'm wondering if them charging such a lower price (people grandfathered in like me are $2.99) is coming to bite them...

Ahiru no Sora is 4 cour iirc

It's also solid. Not great, but decently entertaining.

I got a few episodes in to this one, it was fine...with Haikyu back in a day there's basically no chance of me going back.

I subbed to HiDive last season for $5. I liked Ahiru no Sora well enough, and I'm glad HiDive dubbed it, but I'll probably just pause my subscription this season.

Orphen 13 eps
Bofuri - 12 eps

Orphe is half the length of the original too? Ooof.

Always wierd when the meme LN novels names get an an anime announcement.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2020-01-09/so-im-a-spider-so-what-tv-anime-listed-with-2020-premiere/.155170

Only a matter of time before Pizza Shop Isekai and Prostitute Isekai.

Had a feeling that would be getting an anime. Ive seen the title mentioned a lot

Wait. Prostitute Isekai isn't getting an anime?

---

The Spider anime was announced quite a while ago
---

Well shit.

I wish because moe would show the current season shows without having to look stuff up. If it does do that I dont know how to get there. Was just curious what was HiDived, Funi Nowd, Amazond and Netflixd this season >_>

AniChart does if you hover over when the next episode for the anime is gonna get shown. Not sure if that works on mobile.

---

I can get it to show hashtags and twitter, but not what service each is on so maybe it doesnt work for mobile

That's it actually. It should have icons for official web page, Twitter account, and official streaming services it's on.

Like Somali should show the Crunchyroll icon after you tapping when the next episode is gonna air. If you don't see such icons, then it's probably not on any streaming sites.

---

Forgot last week was an early release for Somali, no episode today ;_;

MAN a lot of trash dropped today. Even the show I liked, Budokan, is a...it's a problem. I guess I should give Dendogram a shot since BOFURI was a surprise.

Truly ashamed that there are definitely people here who are going to watch Nekopara.

Oh, most of the ones I clicked on that aired didnt have anything, but I see some now.

Watched Dendrogram and Budokan

Dendrogram isn't fun like BOFURI, but I think the ever-changing game world is more interesting

Budokan is based on a comedy manga, right? A couple of the main characters are...intense in their fandom, but nothing bad should come of it.

---

Oh hey, Crunchy is puting out both of the Haikyuu OVAs that came out after the last season tomorrow alongside S4E1.

New Railgun OP BAYBEEEEEEEEE

https://youtu.be/uteB5C5722E

Time to jump into this show without watching any of the other shit I'm supposed to watch, Trails of Cold Steel 3 style.

I'm sure Demon Slayer will win anime of the year for Crunchyroll but it's nice to see Carole and Tuesday and especially Mob Psycho 100 nominated. And of course Promised Neverland.

I watched the first episode of Vinland Saga but never went back to it, I probably should.

It's giving me an access denied on that for some reason

Changed it. Imgur had basically stopped working half the time. With Imgtc gone, really wish there was another image site where direct linking worked properly.

Curious how Titan S3 wasnt there for AotY, but was there for multiple other categories.

Oh my god King Crimson vs Metallica for Best Fight, I'm SO HAPPY that's on there. Like fuck is it gonna win but god damn I wish it would.

Oh damn and shoutout to Reo and Mabu for Best Couple

---

I voted Titan for everything it was in

Honestly I may end up changing my vote to it.

A fight between my brain and my heart.

So was O Maidens actually well received enough to be in consideration for that list?

I thought it flew under people's radars and also personally thought it was kinda bad? I don't really know how the people that did watch it reacted to it however.
---

I enjoyed it a lot. Got the +2 in my AotY ballot!

Drifting Dragons - 12 eps
Haikyuu - 25 eps
Nekopara - 12 eps

I like that Ymir is in there despite not being in Titan last year.

Also Baki x Kozue sex scene too good
---

I voted for the Titan couple by default basically even though it shouldnt be there since Ymir wasnt even around.

It's funny that Titan Part 1 was my AotY but Part 2 I'm just kind of like, interested in way more other stuff lol. I still think it's great but I dunno, I'd rather something like Mob get more recognition than Attack on Titan again

---

As much as I wish it weren't the case, Historia x Ymir being there is a joke for a variety of reasons.

All that category tells me is 2019 mustve been a bad romance year

Other than the Kaguya one which I know you don't like, like I stated earlier Reo and Mabu from Sarazanmai are quite cute too!

---

Reo and Mabu being there is also a bit of a joke consider that they're mass murderers of children.
---

I mean they still have a whole couple thing going on regardless of that, I don't think that should affect that! It's not saying who are the best good guys or anything

---

Also by that qualification Ymir needs to get pushed out too!

---

Hey now, Ymir didn't do it on purpose!

And I dunno about you, but I find murdering children for the one you love to be distinctly unromantic.
---

I dunno, children are pretty annoying (I kid)

But the spark for their romance is undeniably there, there's a motivation and connection between them. I don't think the less than ideal actions they do nullify them for a Best Couple category. So then it just comes down to you just not liking that they murder children and various others, which yea fair but I don't think that's the only aspect that should be involved in saying what makes that couple get a nomination.

---

I mean, from the same show, I thought just about any pairing of the main three boys would make for a cuter couple. They have their own issues, but not at nearly the same level.
---

Yesssssss dropping Only My Railgun at the beginning of the episode.

A couple of Railgun things I seemed to have missed out on in the other seasons, don't know why Shirai is injured, IIRC Kongou didn't like Misaka, obviously some characters I don't know, but hell YEAAAAAAH Railgun is BACK.

JC Staff sure can pull it together when they actually care. Also I watched the first two seasons dubbed, which was great, but these VAs are SO GOOD??

Based on the first 10 minutes of Science Fell in Love, I didn't think a minimal romance pool is gonna be an issue for the 2020 AotY Awards.

This is great.

The first 5 minutes of Smile Down the Runway were a huge turnoff to the point where I almost....turned it off, but I ended up quite enjoying it after that!

After yesterday's garbage dump of new shows, today is pretty great!

Seems like this season of Railgun isn't wasting any time.

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun ep1 - the visuals are surprisingly nice, but kinda wasted on the show. Episode was ok, but really only the visuals stand out.

Plunderer ep1 - uhh wow. The description sounded kinda interesting, but this episode was pretty bad. Theres no real explanation of the number system the world works by (like how they got the 1 specific thing their Counts go up/down by) and aside from that the main girl spends a fair amount of the episode being constantly groped by two different dudes. Yikes.

Damn right. Fingers crossed that those are actually 24 episodes and not "12 real episodes and 12 fake episodes you don't want to watch" like the other two seasons. I guess LN fans would have a better idea.

Toilet does actually look good! But yeah, the show is super whatever.

Plunderer is trash. "Our numbers are placed on parts of our bodies that are meaningful to our beliefs and personality". Which just happens to be tits and inner thighs for the girls. It's embarrassing.
