If the format of these weekly posts ain’t 100% intuitive, I’ve only watched the second episode of everything in here. It’d get confusing as fuck if I did it any other way.
Dropped/10
Attack on Titan Junior High
Without a near-lethal dose of Adderall, I cannot see myself tolerating this show for another minute. I mean, fuck, if I couldn’t even stand Nyoro~n Churuya-san for more than two episodes, what chance did this megas tumor have?
Dance With Devils
Diabolik Lovers may have set gender relations back a few years with its glorification of rape, but at least you can’t say it was as skull-boringly boring as Dance With Devils is. Yet the biggest tragedy of all is how these Twilight-lite series waste such cute outfits on throwaway MCs.
Please, Japan, can we have a do-over on these? I’ll almost forgive you for not greenlighting a second season of Ben-To.
Osomatsu-san
For all the low points this series has (and there are many), the one or two high points in each episode easily make up for them. But… I just can’t masturbate to it. Dropped.
Bad/10
Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai
If the show hadn’t thrown a yandere at me, this’d be in the dropped box.
Still, there’s only so much a killer bishie can do for what amounts to the cheapest rip-off of the Fate/series since… well, fuck, I can’t think of anything. Even the worst series on the planet have had the good sense not to lower themselves to Type-Moon’s level. Will drop when he dies.
Concrete Revolutio
The timeskipping in Revolutio isn’t complicated; it’s just hard to care about. I also hate all the characters.
Young Black Jack
Stupidity, rather than formulaity, is the primary issue with Black Jack. I’m fine with suspending disbelief in an anime, but you can’t expect any cognizant viewer to accept that a simple face-lift will allow an uneducated 20-year-old to successfully masquerade as the influential, 60-year-old leader of a mega-cult for the rest of their life. Come on now.
Meh/10
Owari no Seraph S2
I thought the bullshit setup arcs were over, but apparently that shit was just beginning. God, what a waste of cute characters.
Heavy Object
I like that it’s not Gundam, but it really should be Gundam. Normal war is boring.
Noragami Aragoto
Noragami sure knows how to drag a plot to its breaking point (and then some). The only reason I haven’t dropped this shit is that it’s so generic, it’d feel like I’m dropping every anime ever (and I’ve invested a bit too much of my life into this sinkhole to go back now).
Japan can be quite crafty when it wants to be.
Gakusen Toshi Asterisk
The show may be objectively bad, Julis’s hair is pretty solid fap material, so…
K – Return of Kings
Ugh, this show is so close to being good, but it actively avoids plot progression to the point that it’s like watching Bleach fillers. And when a show makes me remember the Bount arc, it’s not exactly a positive sign.
Osomatsu-san
Forget my earlier Osomatsu-san commentary. I like this series enough that even though it renders my dick as useless as social media, I’m gonna have to keep watching it. Damn my impeccable taste.
Here’s the scene I grabbed the screen from (2 mins, 7 MB):
If it wasn’t worth watching, I wouldn’t have included it.
Top 5 6 Whatever
Comet Lucifer
Rock ’em sock ’em robots and fucking cool-as-shit, safety-off villains. Fuck yes.
There’s only so much I can give a show for potential, but goddamn am I hankering for a good adventure anime. And this one feels like a fusion of Mars Daybreak and Xam’d (well, the good part of Xam’d). Please, please, please keep being this good.
One-Punch Man
Continuing with its theme of “good stuff, but nothing great”, OPM whelms with the consistency of fast food. There’s only so far a soulless-yet-competent series can go, and that appears to be an 8/10.
Utawarerumono – Itsuwari no Kamen
The janky emotional pacing ain’t enough to dull this nostalgia for a series I only ever sorta liked. Nicely done, White Fox.
Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru
If you liked Un-Go, Dantalian no Shoka, Gosick, and Kamisama no Memochou, you have questionable taste, but you’ll probably like this too. Same premise as those, except the detectives this time are a bone-loving bitch and a cuckold piece of shit.
Episode 2 was pretty fucking terrible, but they’ve got another 10 eps or so to give me something I can pretend is representative enough of the series that it justifies my interest. I’m sure I like this for a valid reason.
Mobile Suit Gundam – Iron-Blooded Orphans
IBO manages to create a compelling drama that involves child soldiers, rather than creepily fetishizing them like you’d get in a typical Western war movie or a Metal Gear game.
I’m sure as fuck surprised that we’re getting a breath of fresh air from a series as generally stale as Gundam, but I’ll take what I can get these days.
Lance N’ Masques
A little girl emotionally abused by her dad meets a white knight who soon learns that being a redditor won’t solve anything. Add a whole lot of depression hidden behind a veneer of cuteness and you’ve got a stew fit for a Sage.
Could someone tell me what exactly it is that people don’t get about the show? Cuz while I can understand someone not liking it, I can’t understand what kind of person would actively dislike it.
Subete ga F ni Naru
This is the strongest contender for ending up my favorite show at the end of the season. God, this thing’s got everything going for it — married old guys getting road head from their 13-year-old nieces, and umm… well, I guess that really is all a show needs to be good.
Keep on keeping on, Subete.
Valkyrie Drive ~Mermaid~
Some people will decry this show as mindless, exploitative garbage, but honestly, those SJW tears are half the reason this show gets my dick hard.
Hate if you want, but this show gives me something to masturbate to when I don’t have a mirror handy. And that’s why it gets the highest honor an anime blog can give: a legit 10/10 from me.

Sasuga not-me-sama.
Game of Thrones : Sage Edition
You know it (¬‿¬ )
>Could someone tell me what exactly it is that people don’t get about the show?
Those faces, Sage, those faces.
Also, is this gonna be an elimination type thing? Cos that’d be cool.
…Shit, setting this up like a tourney would have been a really good idea.
Nah, just planned to drop shows as arbitrarily as I normally do. Maybe next season. :c
Out of curiosity, have you seen any of the other dozen or so iterations of Black Jack?
Aren’t those from the 1920’s or something? Gross, no thanks.
I… think the oldest was in the 90s? Anyway, this is a “character prequel”, which means it’s assumed you’ve seen other stuff.
I’m not exactly interested in watching the 12 other Black Jack series, nor do I buy the argument that I’d have to in order to have an opinion on this one.
Fair enough. I was just pointing out that your opinion on his character may be different if you had more exposure to the franchise.
I had an issue with the storylines, not the character. Black Jack on his own is awesome.

Sign me up.
Did you read the manga for OPM, D_S?
Haven’t read more than a few chapters of anything here. I take it I’m missing something in regards to OPM?
Not sure, but the manga is amazing. Just wanted to know if the anime is skipping/adding anything, cuz I’m not watching anything but gintama this season due to some annoying exams.
Seems pretty faithful so far. It’s a bit janky due to some of the stuff not translating as well to the animated format, but they make up for it with some sick animated fight sequences.
I remember Un-Go. I remember enjoying it at the time too. I am currently enjoying Sakurako-san.
The Dark_Sage knows.
Hey, have you finished iM@S Cinderella Girls yet? What did you think of it?
Dropped that at like episode 2.
But https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CSIMp02WcAAWATX.jpg:large !
Butt plugs are truly a man’s romance. I have made a terrible mistake.
The rocker slut you seemed to like also forms a unit with the cat slut in the above pic
Is “forms a unit” slang for going end to end? Cuz I’d watch the shit out of that OVA.
Pls. That one has been PTS-ed.

It was too good to be true ;_;
what if the buttplug was actually there and you’re the one photoshopping things out?
If so, I would be very happy as suddenly I could do such incredible thing. ( ¬‿¬)
Did Sakurako-San finally decide what tone it wants to create with its soundtrack along with learning how to sound mix?
great taste as always, regardless of the fact that it’ll be outdated in a week
keep it up
I honestly enjoy Valkyrie Drive, too. But Shoujo-san’s voice is oh so annoying!
Yeah, she’s def the low point of the series. Better than a male MC though.
>IBO manages to create a compelling drama
That’s thanks to based Mari Okada.
