So since i'm bored. What fall anime's are you guys looking forward too? I'm only aware of hitsugi no chaika 2 and log horizon 2 but I haven't got round to checking the upcoming stuff yet. (i'll probably do that in a minute)
The ones I'll be watching is:
Amagi Brilliant Park
Fate/stay Night (2014)
Chaika season 2
Log Horizon season 2
Inou-Battle in the Usually Daze
SAO2 and Akame will follow from this season. It's not impossible that I might add another at some point during the season.
I hadn't heard of Amagi Brilliant Park but it looks interesting. Anyways after looking at anichart I found:
Ore Twintails ni Narimasu (tbh all my interest in this comes from the cover art)
Wow there is quite a lot actually but a lot sit in the eh zone. It's gonna be hard to choose which to list a which to watch then and there.
Theres also Rakuen Tsuihou: Expelled From Paradise which is a Gen Urobutcher movie.

Akame ga Kill

They should soo totally make a Berserk anime in the future. It'd be a risk though, since it is heavy stuff, even for a seinen.
Yes I am aware of the old one. But a new one with a higher budget and further into the narrative would be...
*sighs*

I'm scared for you anime viewers. This manga is getting updated monthly now. At this rate, it'll catch up quickly.

Oh snap, season 2 of Chaika starts on my brother's birthday. Too bad he doesn't watch anime like that.
The censorship in Terraformars is even worse than it was in Tokyo Ghoul.
Chihayafuru is insanely good at the moment, about halfway through the first season and it's one of those shows that I wonder why it was left alone for so long. Baka Rah! Oh and Ghost In the Shell is pretty alright at the moment. The episodes that are about the Laughing man case clearly interest me more than the ones that have so far been about slightly different things.

Ah that suck! Wasn't a show I had planned to watch this season anyway but still sucks to hear
Glad you're liking it so far Rah. I enjoyed the first season a lot, but I thought season 2 got even better. They handle the sports aspect well for people who don't fully understand it going into the show.
Out of Arata and Taichi I'm more leaning towards Taichi at the moment but given that there're so many episodes left to watch I'm all for seeing exactly what Arata would be able to oull out, he got the mystic going for him. Usually I'm not that fast to like characters that are like Taichi but he just work so insanely well with Chihaya at the moment.
Favorite character so far, that's a hard one to be honest. Chihaya is an absolutely brilliant protagonist but I'm also going to mention Kanade Oe. She's just too damn adorable and while she's only been around for a few episodes I already like her. Also Porky!
I'm rooting for Taichi. As much as I like Arata he's just not around enough. Almost all of the development is with Taichi so I get a bit annoyed whenever he shows up and she drops everything just for him.
My favorites were Taichi, Nishida and the Queen who I think you might still have to meet. I like how they turn the characters who would typically be boring in any other anime and actually flesh them out. Just because someone likes boring and plain doesn't mean they can't be an expert.

I REALLY need to catch up on that. I've been on episode 8 for the longest.

Means you haven't even seen the best of it yet. Just mark my words when you get to the Namek arc. Their Freeza is downright brilliant.

There is also a small arc (Garlic Jr. Saga) between Freeza and Cell arcs which I find quite interesting. The main heroes are Gohan and Piccolo in these episodes.
Abridged, eh? I've watched until early Namek episodes.
Let's just settle for their entire DBZ:A is hilarious. TFS is pretty talented in that regard. I've seen their HU:A three times over now in the short time span I discovered it and I'm still giggling like a schoolgirl at almost all of the jokes.

Alriight, can quote this now that I'm done.
First, a few comments.
1. The anime is really solid. It's consistent with fleshed out characters and by the end of it, manages to touch them feels.
2. The only thing that the anime suffers from is Kanda. Who would have been a great character if they hadn't forced him to be such an emotional dude.
3. One last critique. I wish they fleshed out some of the minor characters more, they were a lot more interesting than Kanda.
4. Cats are cool. Kanda isn't
5. That graduation ceremony was a bloody tear-jerker and the best episode in the series.
Okaaaaaay. So anybody who wants a solid romance anime, try Sakurasou no Pet. Don't expect Clannad though, but you won't be disappointed.
Now, in regards to Kanda. The thing about him is that he's just too bland. They try to create some depth for the character, and on paper, there is, however, having him over-react to any situation like if it were the last day on Earth just takes away from the drama. This is why I preferred the side characters more. They were far more believable and rational, so you could empathise with them.
But Kanda?
Shiina's not in the house and he acts like she was f*cking murdered by the rape police.
Now take Gintama for example. Gintoki is really nonchalant 80% of the time. He gets angry here and there, but never to the extreme. So when you do see him serious, when you do see him emotional it really gets to you. It's a side of him you don't see often and it's great that he has it.
Just imagine if Tomoya from Clannad went on a rampage for any little thing. Then that episode where he really took it out on his father would NEVER have been as impactful. Humans hide things, and many people hide their emotions. Hell, I do it all the time (which is why I allow myself to let go with fiction.)
I've been so hurt I've felt like freaking vomiting, but I don't even blink xD I just laugh it off like it never happened.
Loads of people are like that. Sure, there are some that aren't, but from what I've seen, the majority bottle up their emotions.
So yeah, Kanda never really clicked with me. But the others did. Especially Jin. I saw tons of comments calling him a scumbag. Jesus, it's like they've never seen a promiscuous man in their lives. The important thing is that he abandoned all that crap for Misaki. -.-
The anime ends nicely. The romance isn't exactly resolved, but it doesn't leave you unsatisfied. I think I would have if I hadn't cared more about Jin and Misaki more than Kanda and whoever he chose. But still, what really got me invested wasn't the romance (which is what I watched it for in the first place) but the relationship and bond of everybody in Sakurasou... which I guess was the anime's main goal in the end.
I suspect I wont be watching anime for some time now.
Berserk has grabbed my by the balls.
Well stated, I can agree with all that.
I was having some trouble trying to decide upon what I should watch now, but I decided on Golden Time. 8 minutes in and this happens:
Something tells me that I am going to enjoy this show.

Sorry I should have to responded to this yesterday
Spoiler
I could make this much, MUCH longer but I need coffee first and to get my brain going before I start going into certain topics. Sorry again for not responding quicker. Let me know when you meet Shierke, because that part also brings another huge aspect of the story, or at least to Gatts characterization that you'll probably like.
Where I am now, the horror has certainly died down. But everything before that was certainly dystopian and lovecraftian. Besides, a good story never sticks to one thing. ASOIAF is a political drama as well as a story about humans and the human condition. LOTR is certainly a heroic fantasy, but touches on tragedy and war too.
Berserk so far has mixed a lot of things together and has kept things flowing smoothly. Horror, politics, psychology, fantasy etc... it's managed to be 'over the top' in your typical anime-esque sort of way, but has never gone so far as for me to roll my eyes and facepalm.
Miura knows what he's doing. Or at least, unconsciously knows, because everything he's done so far has been an awesome pick and mix of inspiration from other sources but keeps his sh*t real... dawg... xD you know what I mean.
Anyway, when I get to a part where I am reaaallly questioning Griffith's morality, I'll let you know. So far I just love this dude.
