Upcoming Anime Season: Fall 2020

[MFauli]

Looks like another shit season (omfg, the amount of generic looking moe bs is staggering. Can the anime industry PLS dial that back ...), but these are the shows I'll look into:


- Golden Kamui Season 3 (S2 ended in a super exciting manner, very hyped)
- 100-man no inochi no ue ni Ore wa tatteiru (yeah, another isekai, but while the trailer looked a bit generic, it also had some feeling of actual threat in it, so i'll give it a try)
- Iwa Kakeru! Sport Climbing Girls (i like sports anime, we never had a climbing anime, and sexy girls. Sounds good)
- Taisou Samurai (a gymnastics anime featuring men in a non-moe artstyle? Awesome)
- Kimetsu no Yaiba movie (would have prefered a proper season, but whatever, finally the story continues

Btw. Evangelion 4.0 is dead, huh

Maoujou de Oyasumi. Nuff'said.

[KrayZ33]

Haikyuu
Dungeon
Mahouka (probably)
That Empire vs Witches thingy (probably)
Akumada Drive (probably)
Jujutsu Kaisen (probably)
Yuukoku no Moriarty (maybe)
Kings Raid (at least one episode, because I played the mobile and I want to see Cleo point at things)

[shinta|hikari]

Danmachi 3
Kamui 3
Mahouka 2
Higurashi remake (to watch with my horror-terrified wife kek)
Hanyou no Yashahime: Sengoku Otogizoushi - Inuyasha sequel??? Wtf??
Kamisama ni natta Hi
Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen - I like Romeo and Juliet type romances.
Majo no Tabitabi - Sounds like Kino but with brooms instead of bikes.
100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru - Might be a good isekai subversion
Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls - Waki Kakeru!
Munou na Nana - Smarts vs powers is always a favorite of mine.

Stop making these threads without posting the chart dammit!


Ooh, Dragon Quest!

[Kraco]

Certain:
Danmachi
Strike Witches: Road to Berlin

Will try:
Mahouka Koukou
Tonikaku Kawaii (The manga is good, so I'll watch an episode or two, just to see it animated and voiced.)

Maoujou de Oyasumi. Nuff'said.

I ended up dropping the manga, although I did read quite a few chapters. It felt a bit too scripted and forced before long.

[David75]

True for Maoujou, but we might get a good ride for a while, enough for my enjoyment

[MFauli]

man, i hvent watched any new anime so far. the death of horriblesubs has me too saddended. was my go-to-community for shitposting can we pls keep Gotwoot forums going forever?

[DarthEnderX]

[MFauli]

Yeah :/

[DarthEnderX]

I don't know what that is, so I'm guessing not.

Is that just the comments section of HS?

Tonikaku Kawaii seems to match the manga. It's a fluffy marriage/romance comedy with no extra drama and such. Like I said before, I don't know if I can keep watching it as the anime doesn't really bring anything super extra compared to the manga. Thus I'm also not making a thread for it. It's not like the story would have anything much to discuss about either, even if it has some mysteries.

[MFauli]

btw the reason Im not posting anything is that I'm literally only watching Taizou Samurai. Really bad anime season. I know it keeps being said, but I feel that anime seasons simply ARE getting worse and worse. :/

Only anime that should be good, but I'm not in the mood to watch is Golden Kamui S2.

The anime needs to go back to producing better, more serious stories. All this focus on shallow, wacky, "cool" stories hurts imo. Diversity in terms of content is important, but no matter which anime I try, it's just so bad and cheap and shallow. Like 100-man for example. It takes ONE new element, then focuses the entire story on that, otherwise throwing a bog-standard, generic isekai at you, and that's it. Bullshit. There's so much that could still be explored within the isekai genre, but all we get are these superficial bs anime with below-average animation quality. I'm upset.

Or take Jujutsu Kaisen. Almost interesting. But then the main character is so badly written. His grandpa dies, he barely cares. He sees monsters, it doesn't faze him one bit. He punches holes through walls like that's normal. Ugh. Dropped it after 3 episodes because I couldnt stand this random shit.

Can we pls have fantasy anime like Record of Lodoss War again that aren't a chain of moe tropes and instead try to tell a real story? Can we have the next Death Note that's grounded in reality but still manages to be exciting? Can we have another drama like Monster, and pls without any big boobed transsexual catgirl loli? It feels like there's no more place for well-told, grounded stories, and that's bad.

sorry for the rant

Jujutsu: you might change views when watching ep4 (and others) if you didn't already.
But it doesn't really matter, this is only anime, a pasttime to kill boredom and sometimes have fun.

So ... the most important part of life then.

[David75]

I would not say this is what's most important.

[MFauli]

I wouldn't call stuff that's not fun "important".

[David75]

Well familly is not labeled fun, but is important.
I'd say people I love and passions are more important than having fun.
Anime fits in the little spaces of my life when boredom peaks lockdown or not.

[Ryllharu]

I'm not watching a single series this season.

To some degree the "quality" this season is due to the coronavirus derailing some productions, others it's just bad timing resulting in a threadbare season. I think a lot of it is that more and more anime series are based off dreadful mobile games. Anime has always been promotion material for its source material. Original anime has always been few and far between.

Manga based series are effectively already storyboarded and usually produce the best result. Light novel adaptations are at least plotted out, but they're often significantly diminished by taking 1st person perspective stories and making them 3rd person narratives. With the mobile titles, they're trying to stretch threadbare premises into 4 hours of animated content...which tells you how bad those games are.

Winter season is picking up a large number of series that were delayed for whatever reason. It's a lot of sequels, isekais, and LN adaptations, but at least there's something there.
