Really. Problem is, about 90% of the good ones are sequels to other shows I haven't seen. And yes, you COULD argue that I could watch those instead of trainwrecks. Some of them had interesting premises though... whatever. Gonna go for Steins;Gate tomorrow. I swear I mean it this time! I make dumb builds, therefore I am.

looking at what should be coming out for the rest of the year, bit early so there is likely stuff missing from the list. This one caught my eye though Back street girls " A group of 3 yakuza failed their boss for the last time. After messing up an important job, the boss gives them 2 choices: Honorably committing suicide, or go to Thailand to get a sex reassignment surgery in order to becomes "female" idols. After a gruesome year long training to become idols, they successfully debut, with overwhelming popularity, much to their dismay. This is where their tragedy truly begins. Ancestral Bond. It's a thing that does stuff. -Vipermagi He who controls the pants controls the galaxy. - Rick & Morty S3E1	Posted by lagwin1980#2224 on May 27, 2018, 6:34:23 AM Quote this Post

So I finally started watching Steins:Gate... ...and holy shit does it seem like Okabe has a few screws loose. Like... seriously, he is more delusional than Rikka from Chuunibyo demo Koi ga shitaI (which is a pretty good series in and on itself)... it's getting on my nerves a bit at the moment. I might have to force my way through this one... I make dumb builds, therefore I am.	Posted by FCK42#0688 on May 27, 2018, 5:10:44 PM Quote this Post

" 鬼殺し wrote: ugh, I wouldn't want to watch Steins;Gate after watching Chuu2, that I'll admit. Okabe was the first real exposure of Chuunibyou to the west, and it was very poignant. But now that Chuuni is a trope, it might be a bit hard. Force yourself if you must. __ That yakuza one sounds fucking awesome. If it somehow has 'yakuza' in the premise I'm immediately interested, because chances are it's not really about yakuza. Hinamatsuri grabbed me that way. If Japanese folk want their real yakuza kicks, they'll watching Kitano flicks. Anime either caricatures them or, as with Hina, uses them as a background for some wacky-ass storytelling. I found Akagi interesting in part for the window it offered into mahjong gambling. And, the connection of the yakuza to mahjong gambling seemed to make sense, even though the world of the yakuza wasn't explored in detail. I'd mostly agree with what you're saying, though. Even in Akagi the yakuza characters are not fully drawn; they primarily serve to raise the underlying sense of tension and move the plot forward. Now that prestige classes will finally leave lab in 4.0, will GGG get it right this time or will they find new ways to repeat old mistakes?

latest episode of Hisone to Masotan doing some advertising for the manga Kingdom (which is pretty good for the most part though it dose try to explain tactics which is kinda lost on most people when it's that shortened)...also had a anime a while ago but it was one of those CGI butcherings Ancestral Bond.
