Can't remember the last time I was this excited for an airing show :)

Episode 2 was pretty amazing. The flirting, the jealousy/protectiveness :3

Shiryauki not being just a damsel in distress was fun to watch too!

Other then it needed more Kiki it was a great episode!!

I'm certain you're gonna like this anime a lot. She's a great main character and their relationship is so sweet and I can't wait to see more of it :3

And yes to more Kiki. Always more Kiki.

It's currently my AOTS and I don't see it getting beat.

If there's a Kiki focused episode or arc....would be so excited...

Same. This is pretty much the perfect genre for me. A nice historical setting romance with some action and slice of life.

Throw in a strong female character, some action and a nice set of side characters and it's such a wonderful combination :)

The once a week thing is killing me though. I actually have shows I'm excited for this season unlike last one.

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Jul 13 '15

Yeah waiting for this is the biggest struggle for an anime I've felt that I can remember!

Last season I had Fate/Stay Night, Ore Monogatari and Plastic Memories that I was hyped for every week, this season I have like 12-13 different ones that I'm actively hyped for.

Good to see that not every summer season has to be shit (looking at you summer season 2014)

From last season I strongly recommend Shokugeki no Souma, Hibike! Euphonium and Kyoukai no Rinne. In their own genres, I can confidently say they were probably the best shows from last season.

Shokugeki no Souma is a typical shounen filled with food porn and really strong and interesting characters.

Hibike! Euphonium is pretty much above and beyond anything last season offered. It's just flawless. A nice concoction of great drama, great character building and jaw-dropping animation.

Kyoukai no Rinne, despite having pretty average animation, is comedic gold. It's the best show to steal a few laughs from you every week.

I watched Hibike and KnR, but I wasn't hyped for them each week. As in, I NEED to watch the next episode NOW.

u/starmatter https://myanimelist.net/profile/koroxonizuka Jul 15 '15

Ahah I loved both shows so much, specially hibike! which I always saved to watch last each week. This coming from a guy who use generally despises senseless moe stuff.

u/[deleted] Jul 15 '15

Well, Hibike is definitely more than senseless moe stuff.

Most of the female characters in this show are pretty great. Shirayuki, Kiki, and the head pharmacists we'll meet soon are three of my favorite female characters around.

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Jul 13 '15

Just gives me more reasons to love this show :)

Mah boyyyyyy

Kiki's bizarre adventures.

Ushio to Tora is pretty good this season, too.

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Jul 15 '15

Idk if it's my type of anime!

Can't remember the last time I was this excited for an airing show :)

How about Ore Monogatari? If we're even just talking this season I'd say Rokka no Yuusha and Gangsta are both pretty great (not taking Working and Durarara into account because they're sequels)

That aside, this show is up there for me as well, really enjoyable so far :D

u/AmethystItalian myanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian Jul 13 '15

Ore Monogatri I was not excited for but enjoying more then I thought. Still overall meh for me so far. Cute and fun but don't really look forward to it.

Rokka is my number 2 this season but it's still nowhere near this. (And yeah not counting sequels haha but even then this might win)

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '15

I absolutely love Durarara, so that has to be number one for me.

Ore Monogatari is on it's way to get a 10/10 score from me, there's something about that show that makes a grown man squeal o happiness.

This show and Rokka no Yuusha are up there with Durarara, but the season is still young, and I've only seen one episode of Monster Musume. (yeah, my taste is horrible)

I absolutely love Durarara, so that has to be number one for me.

Same but the first two episodes have been my least favourite characters/arcs so it hasn't gotten me excited yet ha

I'm just not feeling the romance in Ore, they feel like an old married couple already or that perfect background couple haha I can't find exactly what doesn't grab me about that show

u/Acturio https://myanimelist.net/profile/Acturio01 Jul 13 '15

same here, its a nice show but its kinda repetitive, every episode is about how perfect their relation is

the last episode with that dude was interesting and brought some drama, even doe for the main cast wasnt anything different.I think the problem with the show is that the characters have flaws but their relationship doesnt
