HorribleSubs review for this season's anime, thought I'd share it here.
Best shows this season
Latest announcement
I'm sure Jojo is good but I have to restrain myself from watching a show with so many hot guys for I will commit a sin if I did. Slime is boring (so far). Goblin Slayer is your typical cheap "let's use rape to be shocking" show with horrendous animation
Slimes been awesome so far to me, but then again I already know all there is to be know about the series and am just watching because...Well I love the series and seeing it animated is just awesome. It's also the ONLY series I've EVER put money down to actually buying, ditto for the LN's which are great(can and will spot for those interested). It's similar to One Piece in that the beginning is slow, right til "Plot Happens". Then stuff starts to happen a LOT and back to back. Just lots of necessary world building and ultimately the show is what you'd get if you combined all of the JRPG's and fantasy anime of yore like classic Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, "Tales of...", Disgaea Hour of Darkness, Record of Lodoss War, and Slayers with something like Civ in that Slimebro lives in a world like the aforementioned fantasy settings, but is basically building a kingdom from scratch like in Civ.
I avoid GS like it's made of cancer and only look up threads for it out grotesque and morbid curiosity or to tally numbers. Surprised to hear it has terrible animation since it seems very popular according to the reddit pollings or whatever those are on /r/Anime(though that does present certain troubling possibilities). As an aside, I did check it's tropes page and yeah the whole thing basically IS a DnD campaign between two deities. Truth who enjoys the sadistic shit he throws at the adventurers, and Illusion who can't ever catch a break with her dice rolls.
Edit: Apparently it's STUPID popular being the leading show in the west which kind of bugs me since it implies the whole Controversy >>> Quality argument is in fact correct.
Edit 2: Slime is about to hit a big stride now.
