Is there even another contender for anime of the season?

I'd consider it AOTS. Saiki is my personal favorite but that's purely because it's hilarious, the visuals aren't anything special.

>>146063990
Episode 5 is one of my favorite anime episodes in general.

I don't watch this anime, but fanbase is retarded and cancerous. Also this anime has a very small fanbase.

Amanchu and DiU

>>146065207
>Re:Zero
What, really? I discarded it because of the premise and the pastel hair. What's good about it?

MobPsycho100 is hanging out with Time Travel Shoujo in that it is much better than the labeling on the tin would suggest.

Would say its in the running for best surprise of the season but not AOTS.

Biggest disappointment of the season for me was Battery. Dropped first ep. Hope the dick MC throws a hit parade.

>>146063990
Probably not.

>>146065419
Edgy garbage that's only good for shock value, you're not missing out.

At least personally, 91 Days is my AOTS so far.

Daily reminder to sage faggots like OP

>>146063990
The first two episodes were great. After that it just went downhill. The writing appears to too unfocused, there is no clear direction, new characters are tossed in every episode without any sense of purpose. The music is really repetitive and boring. It's easily the lamest Kenji Kawai score to date.

>>146065449
>biggest disappointment is a series I didn't actually watch
Battery is good unless you were after some generic baseball shounen like DnA or Ookiku. It's a slow paced, fairly mature character drama that's thankfully without constant, dragged out games or training for a change. And it's pretty obvious that a character being a dick at the start means character development later on.

>>146066468
seem like you were expecting ghostbuster of the week stuff. Sorry to disappoint you but mob psycho 100 is a coming of age story and every character shown so far serve it purpose and you just missed the whole point of the show if thats how you interpret it.

Are you serious? It's easily his best in recent years. Theres lots of variety, from eastern-styled comedy tracks, to orchestral pieces, to eastern-synth-rock songs, to Mongolian throat singing, and even to harmonica music. It fits Mob so well with its ghastly yet silly vibe.

Or it's just you seeing a plot being set up. You know that a 6 episodes setup for a hypothetical future event that has never been foreshadowed or teased, in a 12 episodes series, is suicidal amateurish shit writing, right?

>>146068373
I didn't hear any of that. Either it's just forgettable or you're talking about that one track which has everything you described, and is being repeated at least 3 times every episode.

>judging comedy by anything except the comedy
A comedy can be cheap, ugly, barely animated, with no plot at all and it can still be 10/10 if the humour is 10/10. It should be judged on an entirely different scale to most anime, especially because overly detailed art often detracts from comedy. Saiki is fucking hilarious and that's all it needs.

On the other hand, while Mob is funny too, it's more action/plot oriented so it also needs to be judged on the animation.

At most, that track is only repeated once each episode, and it only ever plays when Mob explodes. So really, it hasn't been played every episode.

>>146069446
>On the other hand, while Mob is funny too, it's more action/plot oriented so it also needs to be judged on the animation
and it absolutely murdered every single anime that come out this year in animation department alone. unless you're the type of guy that think character model=animation.

>>146069766
The explosion counter did hit 100% 2-3 times I think and the only thing that happened is Mob experiencing a new emotion. That's all. Nothing related to an overreaching plot being setup.
Also Reigen, presented as a MC, has had barely any screen time. He's been useless as fuck, and we're halfway in the series.
This show just has no direction. If it's different in the manga, the director just failed to build a hook-up, a goal.

Reigen is the boss of a shadow organization of adult espers, including the one Mob spotted in the crowd.
He has the ability to transfer his powers to others, and is secretly prepping Mob to be his next in line.
Part of the scheme involves kidnapping Ritsu, and killing their parents. Forcing Mob to awaken more of his emotions, and become fully dependent on Reigen.

Seems like this anime is shilled by a very small group of /a/nons that want it to be liked, but the majority of older /a/ posters don't actually enjoy it. I personally couldn't get past the second episode and decided to try the manga. The art left a lot to be desired and just reminded me of OPM.

Also, most of the fanbase for Mob Psycho 100 here on /a/ is underaged and refuses any discussion other than "oh my god mob psycho 100 is the bestest." Picture related.

But I'm giving you the benefit of doubt and assumes you're just baiting. Quite convincing though.

>>146071295
How about you addressed all of my point above you dumb nigger.

>>146070986
This. It's always the same when a/ tries to force an anime's popularity. OPM is fun and quite well animated but that's all, the plot/concept is nonexistent or already better developed elsewhere (Tiger & Bunny, My Hero academy). This time it's just espers with weird personalities and a slightly weird design, an attempt at uniqueness without any research or risk taken. Nothing to see there.

>>146071349

I started off reading that. It was alright, it just felt a little too derivative for me. What's "scammy" about it, though?

>>146071500
Number of IPs in the manga threads, number of IPs in the airing day threads. It's somewhere between 40-80 - upper end being very generous as well. Accompany that with the rampant 3DPD, and twitter tier memes in the threads makes it painfully obvious unless you are new yourself.

>>146071630
That's not what a "scam" is. Anyway, wouldn't that apply to just about any shounen ever? That sounds more like a complaint against common tropes of the genre than anything hard against a specific work.

>>146071576
Kohei managed to predict superhero genre to be next big thing in Japan considering Murata's attempt to redraw OPM webcomic. And somehow he did since BNH becomes instantly famous with the pilot chapter, utilizing clustering effect that evokes by OPM's fad.

Poor man's OPM is about as trash as you can get since OPM was trash to begin with.

>>146071774
Oh shit of course, though I wouldn't know since I don't post in those threads.
But why are you paying such close attention?

>>146071844
You know, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. It makes sense, really, I think you could have seen it coming considering the Marvel movies and all that. Plus, there's also the fact that, if I'm not mistaken, the former "big three" of shounen are recently all slowing down or ending or whatever, so it's well-timed in that respect too.

That still doesn't make it a "scam," though. It might not have even been the author's plan: maybe his editors saw a golden goose and nudged him along. Really, it could have just been good luck, or a genuine artistic interest in superheroes, and even if it wasn't good luck then there's still nothing really disingenuous about it: cynically taking advantage of current market trends may be artistically hacky or sleazy, but I'd be hard pressed to call it deceitful.

>>146072137
"Scam" is just an exaggeration. "Hack" is a more suitable term, really. You can read and watch BNHA, I dont really care but how the series gets normie tier fad and everyone just keeps on blindly praising how good it is, really does tick me off sometimes.

It's actually correct. I bet you didn't used names in their original languages for books, movies or anything else before. I like the sound of japanese better too, but there's no reason not to use a correct translation. Or just speak and listen japanese all the fucking way.

>>146072568
>correct translation

響け =/= Sound

>>146066758
Not the other guy but this is exactly why I didn't like it. The poster designs, artstyle, source material and from word of mouth I was anticipating a more mature drama, but so far it's felt very petty and juvenile. The type of stuff the works in premise but the execution was very clunky and straightforward. I'm specifically thinking of scenes like when Takumi went to get his brother by the lake and burst into tears, or the very awkwardly framed storage room beat-down. As a whole I've felt the character animation has been completely lacking but more importantly I felt the pacing building up to these sequences and following them have been dreadful. In all honesty a show like Mob Psycho 100 has a more mature, intellectual approach to suspense and characterisation as opposed to Battery which is supposed to be the more subtle, "mature" show of the two. Besides Berserk which has obviously been complete trash, Battery is my biggest disappoint of this season.

>>146063990
The art style and characterization really is what saves this show from being generic.
It's really good, not sure if it gets best of the season though.
ReLife and Orange are pretty good.
Saiki Kusuo autowins for comedy.
I guess there's a good case to be made for Mob.

>>146072542
After all that grimdark meme of Marvel and DC movies, plus OPM and BNH, superhero genre is just overused as fuck. I'm fucking tired of it. Only hack artist would resort to cater to that market. I bet you think zombie genre fad back in late 2000 is acceptable, too. Fuck this gay earth.

Maybe DR3: two episodes a week, great characters, great drama, and most episodes are 8/10 or higher.
Lots of hype each week.

>>146063990
I guess Mob is indeed AOTS. It's not like this season was particularly ambitious, though.

>>146063990
That's Mob, not Amanchu.

>>146072681
Maybe your expectations were unfairly high, it's mature relative to most other sports anime but it's still about 12 year olds.

>>146064958
If it gets ads on TV im sure it has a sizeable fanbase

>>146074295
It's "mature" in the sense that it has a muted colour palette, a slower pace and sparse, indirect dialogue. It is no more mature in characterisation or storytelling than any other generic sports anime. In fact I would argue that in this very season DAYS is handling the development of its cast and their relationships much more competently, to the extent that it's becoming a chore to watch Battery yet I'm looking forward to the comparatively more simple DAYS each week because at least it offers something.

Also, age has nothing to do with it. I'm not saying "mature" in the sense that I expected the characters to be dealing with domestic issues, mature as in its a show that respects the intelligence of its viewer and directs its story according. Smile was only 16 but Ping Pong the Animation happens to pace drama, narrative and characterisation/development excellently all while wrapped up in exhilarating action and an intentionally juvenile and doodley animation style. It was a show that had a style and mode of address that suited the subject matter, though the show was serious for the most part it concedes that it's dealing with a coming-of-age story and intentionally presents editing and a disfigured animation style to match the mindset of a pubescent boy. That's not to say Ping Pong addressed the subject matter perfectly, only it chose to address it in a way that both easy to watch but also challenging to the viewer. Battery literally does not have any ambitious or inspiration, all of its scenes are cut and directed like a soap opera and there's no dive in its plot or characters. Even intentionally slower shows like NNB or Flying Witch manage to drum up some engagement in its characters and situations, Battery is just completely characterless
