Any good new Shōnen anime out lately?

Not sure if that term is supposed to be used with Anime, but I've seen it used with manga, so I'm assuming it is?

No. Shonen stuff is objectively bad.

dunno about the 'good' part but blue exorcist is the most shonen show ever to shonen a shonen so you could start with that i guess

Just in the mood for an action anime mang.

Also... what would Kekkashi be considered? Just wondering since I'm kinda interested in watching it.

Why does it matter? If it looks interesting, then just watch it.

idk man, i really liked FMA Brotherhood.

FMAB was too good for me to count it as a shonen show. It's more like JRPG: The Anime.

Okay, so basically I've watched at least 1 episode of everything that I'm planning on watching this fall. Here are my first impressions.

Bakuman 2: I like the first season. It had good characters and really built up the tension. Second season kicks off exactly where the first season stopped. Pretty much the same so far, but it's still good.


Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: KILL IT WITH FIRE.


Guilty Crown: This is the show that I had great expectations from. I'm a Production I.G. fanboy and Supercell is doing the music. I really like the concept and the music complemented the various scenes very well. Such a wide variety of music in just 1 episode too, which I thought was cool. They covered a lot of story, but it never felt rushed or just too fast-paced, which obviously is an excellent thing. The characters are interesting so far. The animation, as expected from this studio, is top quality stuff and generally the art is really nice. One thing that I was a little worried about was the fan service, since there is quite a bit of cleavage shots and side boob kind of stuff but it all felt natural and not sexualized at all, which is okay in my eyes. Welp, I kinda rambled on. This much from just one episode. Damn.


Mirai Nikki: I've never been a fan of the Yandere personality. Not really sure why. Looks nice. Animation is decent. Story kinda seems cliche-ish and formulaic, but we'll see how it turns out.


Persona 4 The Animation: Digging the story. First episode I thought was a little too fast-paced. Animation is nice. Music is fantastic, obviously. Bear puns everywhere. The red-ish jaws always look weird to me, but whatever. I've heard stories about how the senior animators are "bullying" the younger ones on this project, so I don't know what's happening now. O well.


Shinryaku!? Ika Musume: Ugh, I was hoping this wouldn't be one of those shows that gets a really shitty second season, but they had other plans. I liked the first season because she had a goal, and that was to enslave humanity. Now, she's doing, uh, cute things, I guess. It's so boring. Sigh.


Working'!!: The problem that I had with the first season is that it really started to get boring about halfway through. They just started to recycle jokes and other stuff. The ending was also pretty unsatisfactory. I have a good feeling about this season. Some really funny jokes. Stellar animation. Characters are still good. Yeah.


And that's it. If there's anything that you guys think I should really check, tell me about it.

Fate/Zero looks pretty good, I never read F/SN but the first episode was badass

The first two episodes have me excited for the remainder of the season. I read a few hours of the F/SN VN and got bored, but this is making me kind of want to pick it up again (even though the first episode alone spoiled half the twists of the VN xfd).

Also, I found the first episode of P4 to be...not very good, but the second one was much better IMO.

Squid Girl S2 episode 4 is the best thing.

[Psychotik]

Squid Girl S2 episode 4 is the best thing.

Well only the first part.

[Xythar]

Also the ending which was incredible.

[Psychotik]

All the good things I said about Guilty Crown.

Welp, I just watched episode 2 and can't say anything good.

o well.
