    Yozakura is amazing as hell. Far better than most shows this season.


    For example Blood Lad. I've probably already dropped it but it's just so terrible I have no words. It copies every show in existence, namely Index.


    Kyousougiga AotS 15/10 though.

    Edit: Strike the Blood I mean. Blood Lad was actually decent.

    Pokemon the Origin really was one big nostalgia trip. Almost makes me want to play my old Pokemon Red again.

    I wouldn't know. I've mostly stopped watching airing anime, I just pick them up after they've finished. This season I just picked up Yozakura Quartet because I was hyped by the animation team, and VVV because I'd probably just forget the "plot" if I waited 3 more months to start watching

    I don't see really see how it 'copies' Index. I suppose you can draw similarities between Academy City and the Itogami City, but one holds Espers and another holds demons, and the ways the cities operate are completely different... so I don't see how that can be seen as 'copying'. The MC and the main girl have a completely different relationship than Touma and Index, too.

    It's a strange and specially made city owned by a special government that holds strange people in it. A girl from an organization comes to said city. There's a powerful MC that punches people to end fights. Said MC can survive anything. Said MC ends up protecting girl but girl still has powers. Church organizations come towards MC and girl for various reasons. Girl is part of a special organization that ends up helping MC and was taught by said organization from a young age.

    It's such a copy paste it hurts. Just because the characters are slightly different doesn't mean anything.

    Copy Paste doesn't have to be a bad thing.

    MC does more than punch people, and it isn't just church organizations that go after MC, but okay. If you ignore the characters personalities (they aren't 'slightly different', especially considering Akatsuki and Himeragi are alot more interesting than Touma and Index), you can make any two similar series sound the same.

    SAO and Log Horizon share the same premise, but are completely different. Code Geass and Valvrave have alot of similarities, but tell two completely different stories.

    Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai and Fate/ both involve Magi who control 'Servants' and battle one another in an attempt to see who is the last one standing. Ars Nova and Code Geass both involve a ambitious MC who find a mysterious girl and end up obtaining a way to achieve their goals. Maou-sama and Yuushibu are both about heroes/demons who have to give up their former positions and work in retail. Are they copy pastes of one another? No.

    It's a case of execution over premise in short. Concurage occured.

    To me Bakemonogatari didn't have some super amazing premise but its execution was amazing.

    Sorry, but this is bullshit. There is only one similarity - a boy with exceptional supernatural powers meets a girl with(exceptional in Index, more or less average in Strike the Blood) supernatural powers in a strange city(for people with supernatural powers in Index, for supernatural creatures in Strike the Blood). Characters are completely different, relationships are completely different, plot thus far is only similar in the fact there's lots of fighting in both series, even the simile I drew needed some generalization to not be a lie. How in the world can you convince yourself this is a copy of Index? You are trying very, very hard to generalize and embolden whatever backs you up while ignoring everything else, and that is not a good way to discuss anything.

    Outbreak Company - My god, Miusel is so good. When the MC was dreaming and Galious appeared, or when Petrarca's adviser dressed up as the MC, I was laughing my ass off. This show is absolutely hilarious.

    Nagi no Asukara - Visuals in this are beautiful. That ending was really fantastic.
