Spring 2019

Now that every episode 1 this season have aired already, I think everyone can agree that this season is BY FAR the WORST season in the last few years.
No matter what your taste in anime is ,you're probably not going to find many good anime to watch (not including sequels)
Just look at this chart, there's no way you can possibly refute it.
Holy shit, what a garbage fucking disaster season.

It's not THAT good, but it's the best so far. This season is just that bad.

Just listen to yourself

The episode 1 is okay. It's not really good, but It's still better than most anime in this garbage season.

>gundam seed sameface

Aside from SEED Hiraiface is a solid indicator that the show is going to be good. There's more good ones than bad ones.

How the fuck did this happen?

Who takes their time to make these things? Can't you just watch and discuss the shows you enjoy?

It's just one autist who keeps shitposting about this

What's wrong with easy illustration for people to see? it's far better than the usual boring listing shit.

What happened anibros? There's nothing good to watch for at least 3 months. I think I'm going full Yea Forums this season.

I hate those who hate Cross Ange, yes.

This is one of the best seasons of the last 2 years.

There's still JoJo leftover and Daiya no Ace

the anime industry has finally stagnated

you can blame isekai and idolshitters for dragging us into this mess

What are you watching this season? this season is awful, I'm curious just how shit your taste is.

No, its fucking shit

>love live knock-off
It's shit. I wanted to like it since I like cute girls and baseball anime, but it's just too shit. Adachi shit is also shit as usual.

Worst season since Winter 2017. Lolibaba fox mommy isn't even very good, but it's an AOTS contender just by virtue of Doga Kobo's typically excellent production quality.
I liked Bocchi a lot more, though.

This season is good for the shounen demographic. Other than those, Robihatchi might end up being a decent space comedy.

You would think it would be aots, but its just boring instead

It heals the soul.

Bocchi is okay, but quite boring since the source material isn't even that good. It's just japanese pun play and
>bocchi is lonely and autistic! just like you! but she actually has many friends!

Iyashikei is my favorite genre and I didn't find it healing, maybe because it's transparently trying too hard to be healing instead of just being healing naturally like, say, Non Non Biyori.

>shounen
It's not even good for shounenfags.
OPM S2, SnK S3 and Daiya no Ace are good, but those are sequels. They don't count.

Guy who liked Bocchi a lot more here. It IS just okay. It's just that bad of a season.

More like it makes you even more depressed knowing you won't ever get your own Senko-san.

Kill yourself

>bad season
Well, yeah. that's why I put Bocchi so high in the list there even though it's not even that good.

>These threads always attract the Spics
Clockwork

It's the creepiest blatant escapism I've ever seen in anime, and I'm far from a newfag or a normalfag. It's honestly disturbing. It's adorable, of course, but there's something very creepy about it under the surface, especially the first person end sequence at the end of the first episode.

>Yu No not higher

As expected, Sarazanmai is the only show worth watching.

Fairy Gone
Fruit Basket
Mayonaka no occult kyomouin

You're absolutely correct but it seems to take it to a new level. CGDCT is my favorite "genre" and I've never quite been creeped out by one like this before. It just seems like escapism that's been hyper-engineered by its author to newfound levels of precision never seen before.

It's as sequel. If you've watched the prequel, you should know if it's for you or not.

What I'm watching this season: Senko Fox Time (obviously), Ao-Chan, Bocchi, Senryuu (Autism Awareness Friday), Bokutachi (Go-Toubun didn't do anything for me), Nande Sensei (I still have hope for good ecchi even with the bad uncensoring). Might check out Fairy Gone as I've heard good things about it, but yeah compared to Winter there's far less good shows to watch. No good meme shows like Ueno or Wataten to really get the silliness flowing either.

>the worst original this season by PA flopworks
>shitty shoujo
>gayshit, walmart hakata tonkotsu ramens
Might as well watch Sarazanmai

>Bokutachi (Go-Toubun didn't do anything for me)
Why would you even watch the inferior WSJ Toubun if the real if you didn't even like Toubun?

Carol and Tuesday is best
Fairy Gone is worst

>Didn’t rank Isekai Quartet

It’s unironically gonna be the AOTS because this season is so weak

Attached: 3A17D1E6-B4D0-4DDE-97F9-2CAF29894DDE.jpg (1280x1440, 353K)

Fruits Basket had a really great start.
Kimetsu no Yaiba has pretty good start too.
Robihachi was surprisingly pretty decent.
The Yu-No anime has been alright so far.
Bokuben, Cinderella, and Midara were ok.
None of those should be 'dogshit'

I just decided to watch those on a whim. Fairy gone's premise seemed interesting but it's ok I guess. Didn't expect much from Fruit Basket but I ended up really liking it.
I like supernatural stuff so I watched the first episode of Mayonaka. Nothing extraordinary either. I might drop the two.

No. He just touches her fluffy tail.
It's just like, it seems like it's written by social scientists who studied, for years, the most efficient way to heal the souls of working Japanese men, then hyper-engineered the source material down to the tiniest detail to do just that. It's not overtly creepy, rather, creepy under the surface. Kind of like GochiUsa. GochiUsa also kind of seems like hyper-engineered escapism without a lot of substance.

If memory serves he came up with the idea while semi-conscious following an extended workday and plagued with soul-crushing depression.

Disgusting furyshit

It's better than last season quite easily.

First off, good English. And second off, Go-Toubun had all the girls be TOO stupid, and pretty annoying too. I'm not sure why but I didn't get a good vibe from them. Yotsuba seems cool though. At least here in Bokuben territory there's only 2 or 3 we'll be focusing on, and they have both strengths and weaknesses to look into. Just my 2 cents though.

Attached: d90.png (644x800, 15K)

No need to rank spin-offs and sequels. the fans will watch them no matter what and non-fans will just ignore them as usual.

>gochiusa
>escapism
Gochiusa is a great, cute, funny and entertaining moe anime. has nothing to do with escapism. just entertainment.

>walmart space cowboy
>wow so random and funny haha! symbolism!!!

Correct. It's something along the lines of, "everyone needs a lolibaba fox mommy when they come home from work, so I guess I just have to create one for people."
It's a fairly light-hearted, silly concept, but it still comes off as oddly creepy.
Another thing oddly creepy about the anime so far is the foxgirl is such a Mary Sue at this point. Completely uninteresting.
It's "HOLY SHIT LOOK AT HOW PERFECT THIS WIFE IS," the show, and not much else.

Fuck off back to your shithole, wojakposter.

Same

>has nothing to do with escapism.
CGDCT is my favorite "genre" and I'll readily (and correctly) admit the central theme of all CGDCT is escapism.

That's just you projecting your own reason for watching moe anime.

I read both, and they're genuinely presented pretty differently. Sure the high-concept's the same and they're both rom-coms, but Toubun's focused more on the dramatic and character conflicts, and Bokuben's a comfy fanservice harem.

>the only anime I'm looking forward this season is Watanabe western pandering shit and Ikuhara's fujoshit
oh god

It's a good sequel season. Catch up on those if you can't find anything else to watch.

No, it's literally the primary marketing draw for CGDCT. CGDCT are literally marketed as escapism for working Japanese men, these shows' target audience.

Literally only Sarazanmai and Carole and Tuesday are worth watching

Watanabe is pretty good, but Ikuhara? yuck!

Eternal truth in these quints.

I will die. anime and manga are literally the only interest I have. I'm a true otaku unlike you casuals who just stop by here every few weeks.

Every season is the worst season, get used to it newfag.

Before watching it, I basically assumed it would just be a meme cringest too, but the 1st episode gave me a surprising picture of how this could actually turn out to be decent. They didn’t just incoherently smash 4 series together to make a glorified commercial like I initially thought, there is some clear duality and contrasting elements being set up between the series and characters that they picked.

Put Sarazanmai at the top of that pile you fucking faggot. Did you even watch the first episode?

I remember when I still had a soul, no turning back now.

Late March / early April is the best time to plant potatoes! Are there any good shows with them this season?

Attached: Riko2.png (1280x720, 585K)

It's creepy because it's deliberately violating the fourth wall in the Super Senko-san skit. It's also very much for a certain demographic; the fact that it's not broad and using a catch-all audience cipher, along with actively poking at human misery, makes it uncomfortable.

There are more cunnybait shows, there are more obvious fetish shows, but Senko-san is both too real and too much of a fantasy.

It literally is with this season

Last Period is the only acceptable gacha adaptation and that's only because it pokes fun at itself for being a shitty gacha game.

You have either not watched many gacha adaptions, or you have shitty taste.

I give everything a chance unless it's very obviously trash like anything GoHands puts out.

I know you guys are losers and all that, but you don't expect me to believe you watched 26 different shows, do you?

That's not unrealistic. I usually watch between 15-20 shows every season + 1-2 from my backlog.
And I am actually fairly picky on what shows I pick up.
Only watching 8 this shit season though.

Carole and Tuesday will win AOTS and you're braindead if you think otherwise.

I can't believe One Punch Man BTFO the other shows so hard that it's in the stratosphere in OP's chart.

Watching Demon Slayer, After Lost, and RobiHachi. So far I like them all.

thanks for the recs my dude

>All these pleb replies to this post

>it’s backlog time
This. I managed to finish reading the original Yu-No VN, and moving on to another one.

Yeah, this is shaping to be Summer 2018 again - probably going to be the weakest season this year.

Most of the series I've picked up so far are only 12 minutes long. By that metric alone, this season really isn't great, is it?

Anime is fucking dead

Kimetsu

>will probably drop Yaiba if it doesn't get a lot better soon
>can't bring myself to watch OPM 2 while it's still airing
>will probably just stop watching Carole and Tuesday out of boredom in a few weeks

I think Attack on Titan is legitimately going to be the only thing I watch this spring. Worst season in years.

Yeah. I thought we would get another fun show like maid dragon, but it feels more like blatant escapism than fun goofy SoL. It lacks subtlety, and unlike maid dragon I feel like this show has no overarching themes or motifs. It feels somewhat soulless. Although I can identify with the main character, I still find it somewhat uncomfortable, especially the pov at the end.

would be 10 times better if the MC was a girl

>Retard chart made by a moepig
Regardless it is an okay season. KnY was great, RobiHachi was much better than I expected. YU-NO is nice. Might check out sarazanmai too, what does Yea Forums think of it

Was OPM s2 really that bad?

I liked it a lot, but good luck getting anything "objective" out of Yea Forums (even less than usual). I'd recommend just watching it to see what you think, certainly the best animation of the season, but I can see how the insanity of the plot might be a bit out there for some people.

Nice taste user.

>not trying everything
>not trying to find hidden gem
fucking casuals I swear.

Fuck off with this stupid fucking bait every God damn season.

Watching 75 anime a year makes you the opposite of picky

You actually have it completely wrong. I would agree to the fact that this is a light season. There aren't that many shows to watch compared to an average season, however, that lack of volume just increases the percentage of good content available. I would actually agree somewhat with the ratings in OP's image, just a few shows are completely underrated.
