Ahhh. "Kekkai Sensen" (BBB) looks pretty decent. The only reason I really want to watch it though is because it was made by the guy who did "Trigun", meaning I will most definitely watch it. It looks like some brainless fun, which is always fine so long as it doesn't try to be more than what it is. "Ore Monogatari"... Well... I've only seen "Bakemonogatari" and I'm not sure if I even need to watch the rest of the Monogatari franchise to understand each season so... Bleh. Been holding off on watching all of those. Although Bakemono was good.

"Shokuheki no Soma" looks fun. But I can see it getting really old after a while. There's only so much you can do with "food porn" before it gets old and repetitive. Unless there's more to it than that later on? I'll give it a watch anyway for the lols.

I'm very sad to hear that about "Plastic Memories" since I was hoping for another "Chobits"! D= Goddammit modern Anime! I expected too much of you! I'll still be watching it probably when it's done.

"Punch Line" is pretty? I'll look into it =P

"Mikagura School Suite" sounds like school life so... Unlikely. Although depending on the actual content I can enjoy school life.

"Owari no Seraph" will definitely be getting watched, even if it's just another clone of "Attack on Titan". I think I can switch my brain off for 12 episodes and have a blast with it.

"Gunslinger Stratos" is most definitely going to suck. Because it was directed by Gen Urobuchi and everything he writes is terrible (Except "Psycho Pass". That was pretty good).

"Arslan Senki" will be good for one reason... It's based on the novels of the same name. Which were written by the guy who wrote "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" which is probably one of the most amazing Anime series ever made. I'm not sure if his writing is as amazing with "Arslan Senki" but lets hope so.

Despite my bashing, I will probably finish "Hibike! Euphonium". I never really drop any shows no matter how bad I find them, as I believe everything can improve over time, even at the end. I was never too keen on "Rage of Bahamut: Genesis" for example, then episode 9 happened and I was suddenly reduced to tears and realised I actually loved the series and its characters, and ended up giving it 5th place in my top 10 Anime of 2014.

And "Digimon Tri" is apparently delayed til Summer now. Sad times.

This year in general has been a huge disappointment for me in regards to Anime. The only really amazing things I've watched this year (that weren't a continuation from last year) are the currently airing season of Stardust Crusaders and "Gundam: The Origin". I hope Summer improves this D=

Thank you, and sorry for the late respond..I've just started using anime-planet more actively. :)

Yeah they have been actually. They probably have the most consistency when it comes to making quality shows and "Hunter x Hunter" is by far the closest thing to a masterpiece we'll ever get in Anime (at least I think so), shame Togashi won't be coming back from playing Dragon Quest and taking care of his kids and back any time soon. I also considered "Parasyte" to be the best show of 2014, and so far the best of 2015... I have a feeling it'll stay that way unless something amazing pops up out of nowhere. "Death Parade" was... Okay? I expected more to be honest, and felt like everything was overdramatic for the sake of being overdramatic. I think a lot of people just loved it because it had a cool opening, and because it was amazing compared to the rest of the things that were out that season. Well, aside from Jojo and Gundam: The Origin, which were probably the best things that season. Winter was bad imo... And oh yes! "One Punch Man" sounds like it'll be amazing. I haven't read the Manga or the original Web Comic, so I don't know much about it, but it sounds like it'll be great!

Yeah I agree there. Not much point in fussing about whether or not we think they make amazing shows or not haha =P

What have you been watching lately? Do you know any currently airing shows that are okay to watch weekly? (Just curious as I'm rewatching "Hunter x Hunter" again, as there's literally nothing that interests me this season, and anything that does, doesn't seem like I could watch it weekly, cause weekly pacing is hard for me ;_;).

Nah, Madhouse is life.

You're also entitled to like and dislike what you like and dislike. I just don't really find Kyoto Animation to be particularly amazing. The only title they ever made was "Full Metal Panic" and instead of getting another season of it, we're being given nothing but generic, plotless and uninspiring moe crap that everyone will forget about once they're over and replaced with the next generic, plotless and uninspiring moe crap that comes along.

While I can appreciate there are some differences, to me, "Hibike" is simply going to be another cute girls doing cute things, with some promise of music on the side. Even if the music is a more primary focus than "K-ON!", it's still going to be a fairly mundane and aimless moe series with very little character development or unexpected things happening. And if that's peoples thing, then that's peoples thing.

That's a pretty bold claim. Haha. I'd see if there's any actual character development to make her interesting before throwing out "best girl". But I'm never sure what the judging criteria for "best girl" actually is.
