I'd be able to watch Grimgar easily if that dark knight kid wasn't around. He just brings a shit type of anime character into a setting where he doesn't belong.

God you hit this on the head. He makes this show unwatchable.

Damn, Erased keeps on being good.

I've read all the current translated source material for Erased - if they continue to adapt it faithfully (the manga is supposed to end in the next 2 chapters, so just weeks before the anime will end) it will end up being a top 10 of all time show. It's already in the 20s on MAL.

Supposedly A-1 (the studio doing the show) knows the ending so it will just be up to them not cutting too much or rushing it. There will be some cuts though since it's 12 episodes and the manga will end at 44-45 chapters.

Holy fuck the first movie for Ajin is damned awesome.

huh? movie? where? - cannot find it subbed ;(

Erased continues to be good. And while not nearly as mainstream, 'Rakugo' is continuing the trend of just plain great storytelling. Ajin was the tits, and I'm guessing it continues to do well. Grimgar, however, better step it's game up a smidge or it's going into the can, for me personally.

Haikyuu so good....sooo soo good.

There was some dumb topic on IGN from their silly anime club that put Haikyuu as the most sports anime to make you smarter.

11 Anime That Will Make You Smarter - IGN

While i agree the show is fantastic, i cant see any sports anime kicking as much knowledge as Baby Steps. It completely immerses you in the process of tennis from start to finish. I do agree that Spice and Wolf is the absolute best thing to watch for economics, and its amazing.

I tried watching the series of Ajin (first episode) and it is literally the movie. Except with the movie, it's almost 2 hours long. I would definitely recommend the movie over the series until the series gets much further. Not to mention, the subs I saw of the series were not good at all, rofl...

yeah first episode subs were terrible. 2nd one, deadfish group did it, and its much better. It is such a pleasure to the eyes and ears as well. Very awesome music on the background too. Ill do dl the movie too, but the anime itself is amazingly done imho.

The graphic and animations remind me of sidonia no kishi, not sure if its the same studio doing it.

Just watched the first episode of Konosuba. That work montage was hilarious.

the Ajin movie was pretty awesome, cant say i like the main char that much mainly bc id have obliterated everyone in sight

Grimgar is definitely slow paced. I'm enjoying it but wish things would move along slightly quicker.

Kinda feel like they are in some kind of Inception like dream world where they have shared mind link like in the bottom of the slums. It just kind of erases your mind from before plugging in and will bring it back later.

I like Dimension W quite a bit, the main char reminds me of the dude from Samurai Champloo for some reason. I am definitely over Buranki tho, meh i just cant deal.

So far Dimension W is my favorite. Great story and pace. No character has been introduced that isn't interesting.

Erased, or how to spend the second half of the episode waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Erased and Dimension W are good surprises. I'm not sure exactly why, but Erased reminds me of Monster.

I predicted who the antagonist was in Erased in the first? episode. However, it is still an incredible series (and yes, reminds me of Monster).

Will check out Dimension W.
