I wish IBO had a longer time skip.

Samurai Deeper Kyo is trash, I was listening to people saying it was good as kenshin
What I watched in the last couple weeks...
Akame ga Kill - Almost perfect. Other than the first and last episodes I loved every minute of this. Easily the best art design and quality I've seen, great characters, good story, and a phenomenal soundtrack. This is an instant classic anime. I cried at every other death, the characters and their relationships and growth over such a short period of time was done perfectly. I love the idea behind the show that every assassin's past eventually catches up to them. Mine vs Budou and especially Mine vs Seryu are both among the GOAT fights. Possible GOAT shounen and its only 24 episodes. I would love a second season of this but it would be almost impossible since they killed so many of the best characters. One of my favorite shows of all time, absolutely recommend even though everyone's probably seen it.
Steins;Gate - This has to be the most overrated anime I've ever seen. The "great story" everyone raves about is really just a generic time travel story, the characters are mostly forgettable besides Suzuha and it takes a good few episodes before it even becomes somewhat interesting. If Cherami Leigh wasn't voicing a character I would of dropped this after the third or fourth episode. Once you get to the middle of the show the rest of the show for the most part is the main character going back in time to relive things we've already seen to try to save his friend from dying. It gets old fast. There's also a racist scene where the main character tries to speak ebonics when meeting the one black character who is a very minor character. I'm sure most people here have seen this already but if you haven't don't waste your time.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Even as a big slice of life fan this show was just solid to me. Maybe its because I watched The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan first and as a result prefer those versions of these characters or it could be because I watched it in chronological order as opposed to the order it aired but I didn't think there was anything special about either season of this show or the movie. Haruhi is a good character but Kyon is one of the worst characters in anime.
He bytches constantly and never appreciates anything. He acts like he hates Haruhi even though she's supposed to be his friend and he almost hits her just because she's directing a movie scene where the girl he likes is supposed to kiss someone other than him. He's the definition of an "unlike-able" character and him being the main character was a bad decision.
The Disappearance of Haruhi is a two hour and fourty minute movie where the best/title character only appears for maybe twenty minutes. It was a chore to watch and it led to nothing. Speaking of a chore to watch the Endless Eight Arc is the exact same episode with very minor changes EIGHT EPISODES IN A ROW and the payoff is of course, nothing.
At its best the show can be very enjoyable its just unfortunate its only at its best for about half of the episodes. If you like SoL or School shows (you've probably already seen it but) I'd recommend watching the first two seasons (skip the Endless Eight for your own sanity) and The Disappearance of Nagato as well but not The Disappearance of Haruhi unless you really loved the show.
Coppelion - Not much to say here, possibly the most boring anime I've watched. "Post-apocalyptic" rarely ends up being good and this is no exception. Three girls with zero personality who cry over everything, a very boring color scheme and art design and barely anything happens. I definitely wouldn't recommend this.
Castle Town Dandelion (up to episode 2) - Excellent show so far. Mostly a comedy and slice of life. Its about the 9 children of the king each trying to be elected as the next king. Each of them have their own superpower. Funniest show I've seen in awhile. Mostly interesting characters so far and there's already a bit of romance. Recommended for sure.
Another - Very overrated show that kills off characters just for shock value. Two horrible main characters, one of them knew how to save everyone from the start but didn't because she didn't know how to tell everyone. Awful. fukk this shyt, the only good episode was the beach episode. Everything else sucked.
When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace - I love this show. Other than Toradora and Chuunibyou this is probably the best slice of life & romance I've seen. I very much enjoyed the characters and their chunni-ness, especially Tomoyo. Other than the title being misleading (supernatural battles are not at all common on this show), everything was great. Very good voice acting from everyone in the dub, especially Shanae'a Moore, who voiced Tomoyo. One of my favorite shows ever. Definitely watch if you like romance.
Fairy Tail 2014 (Tartaros Arc up to episode 73) - Still my GOAT show although it isn't as amazing as it was the first season.
The last episode where Lucy had todestroy Aquarius' gate keyAlthough I have to admit seeing the Celestial Spirit King in battle for the first time should be
I'm really excited and anxious to see what happens next. I'm really hoping they'll finally let my girl Lucy get a big win she's the main character and she's still never won a final battle yet. She don't need Natsu fukk that lame
Don't get me wrong I ship them too like everyone else I just wanna see my girl kick some ass
Thankfully when the next episodes drop the dub will FINALLY be caught up to the sub for the first time ever. Recommend always.
man.... drifters is
i hope it turns out okay because its all over the fukking place
You pretty much have a contradict yourself. You call Another a "shock value" anime, while calling out Akame Ga Kill as "perfect". Akame is the epitome of shock value deaths. Some deaths are over-the-top, its so stupid. I'm not a huge stan of Another, mind you.
If Steins;Gate is overrated then what Akame is? Definitely not perfect or GOAT shonen. Just a glorified gore porn with a sprinkle of ecchi stuff. Steins;Gate started slow, but it has interesting twist. Akame Ga Kill's Mary Sue characters (I'm looking at you, Esdeath and your henchmen ) have turned me off. The empire's higher ups are so cartoonishly evil, it's so cringe worthy . No way this overrated guro porn is any better than Steins;Gate.
About Haruhi, I pretty much agree with you, except the protagonist. First of all, while Haruhi is an interesting character, she is pretty much a selfish bytch. She literally dragged and harassed some of her club members. Kyon just happened to be a low-energy guy and Haruhi is an eccentric, hyperactive mysterious girl. They are counter-thesis to each other. If you are a person that doesn't want to take shyt from anyone, I bet you would complain too, especially if you are the one who fix Haruhi's bullshyts. She unconsiously dictates whats happening on them as she's literally a goddess.
Just my two cents. Try to make a counter-argument if you like.
