Oh, I didn't know you could vote for shows you want to see reviewed! I'll know that for next time. Most of the shows I'm interested in are here anyway so I'm definitely not disappointed.

I hope you guys can find a One Piece writer soon. I'd like to read what they'll have to say, whoever they may be. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to these reviews of these shows coming up.

It's too bad World Trigger isn't on there. I think it's getting pretty awesome. Sad

This season we have 4 LN fantasy/harem comedies.
Fanfnir is by far the blandest of them all.
Absolute Due is generic, but the characters amuse me, so I like it.
World Break is a total mess. I don't have anything nice to say about it.
New Testament is the best one. The action should be pretty good, and there should be plenty of T&A for everybody.

Still... 4 of these at the same time? The sales will cannibalize each other.
You could have had one, at most 2 shows that broke even and made a little profit. Now you're gonna have 4 shows that flop.

PS: The best harem show is till to come: Isuca.

Oh, boy. After the "highly-praising" Preview Guide, I can't wait to read a week-by-week breakdown of this show. It might turn out to be so bad it is actually good Laughing

It is nice to see that the ongoing ones will still get reviewed weekly.

All-in-all, it's a good mix of shows that should provide a good read.

That's Zac making a joke. He's ripping off Yogi Bear.

I saw "Trouble Bruin" tossed around somewhere on the net a while ago, although I suspect that's also not the official english title. I somewhat hope they go with a more literal translation (although I do like good/rotten puns), but printing "Lesbian Bear Downpour" on cases might possibly have consequences with distribution.

Thanks for taking it off my hands! I was really running out of ways to articulate that show's consistent flaws. I'm excited to see your take on it.

Maybe they're all working independently of each other, none of the production teams knowing of the others until the shows premiered and then the producers crying when they realized they're competing with three other shows for the same audience.

If on the weird chance it gets shown on Toonami though, it'll catch people's attention when looking at the program guide.

It's not like there isn't a shitload of these every season.

I don't see a problem with having 4 harem shows on. Testament is good. The other 3 are rubbish. Watch the good one.

Tuesday or Wednesday. Show airs on Tuesday and we started the daily streamings with last Wednesday's premieres, so it just slipped by.

Is there a schedule that shows when and where these are being streamed?
I am curious about Kamisama Kiss 2 because I liked the first season, but the encyclopedia entry does not show a company for streaming in North America.

I never watch streams because my Internet service is not really suitable for it, but it looks like I might be able to squeeze in one or two episodes a week.

If I am missing something obvious I do apologize.
