[Week 42] Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion - eviltoast

Previous Thread | Next Thread

I know I said last week I would post these on Monday, but did you know that in most of the world it is already Monday? It’s true! Time math can be weird. (Plus, I have early meetings for work tomorrow and won’t get a chance to make the post, so here it is instead)

Do you have any thoughts on the Fall season so far? Any shows surprised you? Disappointed you? Made you cry ugly tears?

This is also a place to post about any anime, not just currently airing shows, so feel free to post about that random old show that you aren’t sure whether you dreamed it up or if it actually aired on Toonami when you were a kid.

The only rule* in the discussion thread is to tag your spoilers!

    I have finally just finished watching the first season Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (The Irregular at Magic High School), what made me finally watch it was playing the Psi mod in a minecraft modpack, which was pretty interesting haha

    I think the anime has some negativity around it, especially with the BroCon sister. But I found it to be pretty good honestly, not great, but good. It tried to say some interesting things about a few diffreent topics and isn’t just a brainless anime about a brainless main character. Though the MC is OP.
    I think it’s worth a watch, especially if you like cool magic systems or magic school anime.

      It’s been ages since I have last played Minecraft (beta probably, yes I am old) so it blows my mind that people are making mods centered around anime. As long as you enjoy the show, that is all that matters. Honestly, what anime doesn’t have 1-2 troublesome elements (brocon, siscon, inappropriate fanservice, etc.)? If you dismiss every show that has one problematic thing, then you aren’t watching very much and would miss out on some great characters and stories.

        Don’t worry, I have also been playing since the beta ;)
        I actally don’t care about those elements, what me say that it wasn’t a great was that it didn’t something that I found really amazing, main innovative thing being the magic system. And that the second half was weaker than the first. Still, I enjoyed the show.
