This is easily the most boring anime I've seen in years.

Did no one read the script before greenlighting the anime?

I just can't get into a groove with the tone of this.

A little too dramatic.
Episode 3 was the best one since they toned it down a lot.

They're really trying to set up the world and the lives of the characters in it as depressing while the visuals suggest anything but that.

I'm watching this show solely for the character design of Sakura.

>>287400037
I feel like VEG's premise and characters fit with its tone more than this. "A mind-broken war orphan learns emotion through letters" feels more natural than "seasons are controlled by four individuals, they're all autistic, one was kidnapped and abandoned, there are terrorists trying to capture and/or kill them, but let's focus on these other random dramatic issues (ep 1: my mom is dead, ep 3: my sister is getting married)"

While I disliked episode 2, it made me a little more sympathetic towards hers and Hinagiku's situation. I can start enjoying this more if they keep the drama in check.

I've lowered my standards since a couple seasons though, used to be i watched 3 ish anime a season but this season I'm following 12 with 4 I've yet to check out plus a couple shorts.

I actually like this better than VEG so far, I hate Kyoani's style

>>287400842
That's actually what I experienced myself. If you actually start to like anime as a medium, rather than only watching one or two specific genres, you tend to become less discriminating, rather than more so. That's a natural consequence of watching more anime. When you only watch like 1-3 shows a year, you have to be discriminating with what you pick up. But if you have time to watch 15+ shows every season, you're naturally going to be more inclusive with what you consider to be worth your time. For a while I was watching 20-30 anime every season, and tried at least one episode of almost everything that came out, and would only drop something if I couldn't find anything redeeming in the series. By which I mean, something I could appreciation. The more I watched anime the less concerned I became with "good" vs "bad", and more interested in specific qualities of anime. There's also something to be said about watching really, really bad quality anime. Those shows often attract a particular class of poster on /a/ that make for very entertaining threads. It's like being in a club, because the same people tend to show up for shows like that. We've all watched the same jank, low budget anime. My niggas who watched Lance N' Masques, Warau Arsnatoria Sun, Gibiate, and of course Marchen Madchen, and others like it, all know what I mean.

This is my guilty pleasure this season, glad I gave this a try. Thought it was another boring cgdct show until I saw /a/ complaining.

>>287401306
The first episode was pretty underwhelming, but episode 2 was a lot better. Seems like it's going to have a balance of drama and action, with some cute SoL stuff for denouement between arcs. I can dig it. I don't really care for melodrama, but the character designs, background art, animation and music are all very nice. There's a lot to like here, enough to look past the melodrama.

>>287401130

I usually like Kyoani but I couldn't unsee the post processing all the time and it ruined VEG for me.

>>287401140
>Those shows often attract a particular class of poster on /a/ that make for very entertaining threads
I have this same thing going on but my ''club'' is a group of anons who also give all the originals a chance like mayonaka Punch, Necronomico and Maebashi witches or SI-VIS.
This season barren in that respect.

>>287401447
I watched Mayonaka Punch but not the others. Mayonaka Punch was a PA Works original and I've been following their originals for a long time. Not all of them, but I usually give them a watch whenever they pop up. They're usually entertaining threads. For some of them, like Glasslip, the threads are the only really redeeming part of following the show. Did you see Zenshuu? Wonder Egg Priority? Sonny Boy? There's actually been some really good originals in the last 10 years. But yeah, this season's kinda empty in that regard.

Just downloaded the episodes out so far, will watch later. WIT kino and no yuri are big sell points.

Who directed this? Haruka Fujita?
This is the first episode that feels alive. It has that magical combination of grand scope, ethereal atmosphere and quiet intimacy that only a few anime manage to capture. The underlying script is still pretty basic, but this made me FEEL things despite that.

>>287401140
Agree. I also find that the time and place I choose to watch anime makes a big difference on how I enjoy it. Something I find mid might actually be much more enjoyable if I watch it in the evening while I unwind instead of right away while it's still fresh. But on the flipside, some things are better watched fresh so you can shitpost with anons, which makes the show much more enjoyable.
I dropped this but I might still watch it later at some point. Saturdays are packed this season and I still have like 2 more shows to watch.

>>287401447
I'm in that club. Mayopunch was great, necro was a nice watch too. I dropped Maebashi.

>>287401625
The environments are doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Excellent use of light and windows in a lot of those shots, too. Basically nothing has that ugly, flat lighting you see in most anime productions. Even a simple shot, like the hallway in mid-left or the kitchen's flat angle shot in mid-right, have a light source which strongly colors the scene and sets a mood.

I was hooked on Zenshuu when I realized the running theme would be homages to famous animation cuts. Admittedly, it's a very niche appeal, but I was there for it.

>>287401772
>Saturdays are packed this season
Same as ever, really. Saturdays are always busy, unless I'm very discriminating and drop a lot of stuff. Even this season where I'm watching only like 12 shows most of them are on Saturday.

I am usually not the guy to say that, but this anime would be better if it was yuri. Maybe they can convince me with the couple dynamics later, but so far Hinagiku and Sakura make way more sense.

>>287401903
I don't find yuri particularly interesting, usually. Unless it's explicit, of course. Or the plot is about navigating such a relationship in a fraught social environment. But just as a tack-on to an otherwise interesting story? Pass.

>>287401140

Yeah I noticed that original anime are often discussed by the same anons. Sometimes it's funny meeting an Odd Taxi anon in a thread for Bravern or Turkey! again.
The second group I regularly encounter are the history fags that watch everything historical, be it Heike, Elusive Samurai or Orb.
And then there is the "group that watches what nobody else is watching", like my three GoHands comrades.
Hope the next season will have more originals again (it has at least three historical anime so that part of me is satisfied already).

>>287402344
I'm also in the history club, in addition to the "shitty low quality anime" club, and the original series club. Also, loved Bravern. Legitimately some of the hardest I've laughed at recent anime.

>>287405046
People screwing the natural order and dooming everyone to long term environmental disaster for the sake of short term gains seems pretty realistic to me.
Specially when it comes to spring. Imagine how many people you could starve to death or how much money you could extort from countries with a single well placed bullet.

>>287405341
this episode shows that that's futile since the gods just choose a new one once the previous one dies

>>287405046
This episode showed that their season-changing powers only work in a localized region at a time (Hinagiku brought spring to Shikoku in this episode). We can safely assume each country has their own agents. I doubt the writers>>287405199
have thought that far ahead yet though.

>>287405397

ANN credits this episode as some relatively newbie directors former animators. As usual animators have better understanding of visuals.

>>287401958
This was easily the most boring anime from the last 5+ years that I watched more than 5 episodes from. I usually drop as soon as I feel boredom (which happens quickly and quite often) but the slaughter parts seemed to hint at something interesting happening in the future. Was the right choice to drop it after all since they apparently never came to kill those fucking MCs.

I feel like I am more superficial nowadays because pretty visual compositions, contrasts and colors get an almost guaranteed watch from me whereas I am tempted to close the video file when I see flat colors and QUALITY. Might be because I'm a drawfag and gaining more XP over the years makes you unable to ignore visual issues that you might have not even noticed as teen.
Now I am retarded and can't help but think shit like "why didn't they put some shade here to make this pivotal scene look good?" Kinda stupid but on the other side it does make me appreciate good looking scenes even more. Wish more directors would put some thought into this. I rather watch less anime that look beautiful and trigger some emotions with that than 20 series with interesting ideas and awful quality.

>>287403001
Funny, I am a Carlfag too (not any of the anons above)

Thats usually stage two of being an anime fan. Don't worry about watching less anime now, you will eventually learn to appreciate the series you dismissed as low quality and go back to watch everything you skipped.

What's the point of kiling the agents if a new one will pop up right away? Are terrorists genuinely retarded? Is it all a gov psyop to keep agents under control?

Getting a new one to pop up could be a victory in and of itself. I am sure a lot of people in the government would want a winter thats not constantly going on strolls, or a summer thats not constantly wasting the budget on critters for example. There is also clan politics, I imagine some people would win big by getting to reroll until someone loyal is on top. And of course cases like spring, where the agent is used goods and everyone would be better off if she were dead.

I'm getting around to it, but Nao's voice is so distinctive that I'm being taken out of the story by Ruka being a brat

Translator shouldn't have had her speaking in third person here since she said "watashi"

I watched every single one of the shows mentioned except Arsnotoria and Necronomico which I dropped
This season I'm currently at 51 shours plus 4 shorts, though I might drop like 5 or 6

Utamille was very charming, liked it more than most people who ended up watching it I feel like. The less is said about Kamitsubaki, the better however

It's entertaining. The animation is good and the plot is decent, but if they had developed it like Lycoris, with the girls as stations with their agents and the boys as terrorists, we surely would have had another AOTS.
