A Place Further Than The Universe has been great this season as well. Charming, happy anime about high school girls going to Antarctica.

So has Laid Back Camp! I was supposed when I didn't see A Place Further up there

"After the rain" is one of my favorite and the cutest anime in a long time and that's the scene you chose to represent it? Shame on you.

.... What the hell. That last one?
JamesSylar
It is made by Studio Trigger, they like to put too much sex symbolism on their works (unless it is Little Witch Academy, too pure for that)
MagicalScientist
More like Franxx is about sex at the core. The emotional bits, the connecting to another person, failure to connect...
JamesSylar
I agree, and probably should have expressed myself better, but it was late and this text limit is annoying as heck.

A Place Further Than The Universe is easily the best show this season. Madhouse+Anime-original+Director of NGNL.

totes magotes, i watched episode 7 just a moment ago
TheWoodpeckerSighed
I haven't seen it yet. A group of girls traveling to Antarctica seemed kinda lame to me, but I've heard good things so I'll check it out.
Counterfit
It's good, but it's not better than After The Rain

It's great. I'm loving Yuru Camp as well. This season is great for just feel-good stuff.
Raz45
I watch anime for the plot...
Itwasmyname
I watched Erased, Steins:Gate and Death Note for the plot. I also watched Excel Saga for the plot.
McKavian
Wait...Excel Saga had a plot? Isn't is just another FLCL?
Itwasmyname
It has... something, that's why it's in its own list.
McKavian
*shrugs* Fair enough.
TheKillerMonkey
Im liking death march to a parallel world. Like a toned down konosuba
numbonvalium
wait, they turned that into an anime? one of my favorite currently running mangas.
McKavian
I need to watch it as well
HovercraftFullofBees
I'm just here to see people react to Darling in the FRANXX, which is fabulous btw.
TheWorldEndsWithYou
Idk it's been really boring so far for me
HovercraftFullofBees
It's been very thought provoking in that I'm trying to figure this world out. Its lacking in robot fights but this doesn't bother me.
MagicalScientist
What doesn't he know?? ...for instance.
HovercraftFullofBees
I don't know that I know anymore than him, I think I'm sitting around tying to figure out the symbolism more is probably the case.
MagicalScientist
No I mean the line from the episode before the previous one, where the guy from the other team whispers to another one saying that.

I'm impressed #4 was recommended with a straight face
TheWoodpeckerSighed
It's a clever way to talk about sex while still being able to air it on Japanese television. I liked it.
Carmaicol
Agreed. I fell for the Trigger hype and I dropped it after 2 episodes.
CreamNinja
I stuck with it, it got better after that long drawed out start.
CthulhuPanda
Violet Evergarden is my favorite from this season and it is very pretty, but holy crap is it boring sometimes. It's SO SLOW!
Counterfit
It's like reverse Saikano
KjTheLightning
while i can't judge as i've not watched it, i feel like based on the premise, it kind of HAS to be slow...
KjTheLightning
unlike something like akagami no shirayukihime which pretends like it has to be slow, when most times it's slow just to buy time.
zykelator
couldnt watch it more than couple episodes. I was afraid i would kill myself because of the boredom.

Worst fucking catchphrase ever, and used too much. I eagerly anticipate each episode.

If you haven't seen all 6 yet...yes. Literal rapist. And does so in the anime
Counterfit
I have no interest in watching anything beyond DragonBall
TheOriginalWindian
Probably gonna get downvotes but I personally hate ecchi shit in anime. Dope stories, awesome characters! then random ass titties.
Funsurge
Don't worry that just means you're a bad person.
OriginaIPoster
For real though. "wow that looks goo...and now they're just moaning and slow panning her tits"
CarsNStuff
If the story is good, I always just chalk it down to cultural shit, but when it’s ONLY ecchi it’s pretty fuckin annoying.
Altanese
Like this?
veryhuman
I recommend "After the Rain". Cute as hell and will melt your heart. No ecchi carp despite the gif OP chose.
TheThunderbirdRising
Fraxx isn't actually ecchi. It's an extended metaphor for sex, yes, but it's rarely, if ever, titillating
Sonicdahedgie
Nigga please /a/vaLj0
TheThunderbirdRising
I'm just saying, I'd be impressed if anyone managed to jack off to it
Loser100000
It seems to be a part of Darling in the FranXX’s plot. They haven’t really explained why, but piloting the mechs is a metaphor for sex.
tpanyS
SAO keeps jumping around that way for me. 1st arc was okay, serious, good art. 2nd hits, bouncin' titties everywhere, 3rd started (1/?)
tpanyS
strong and looking good, then bouncin' titties came back w/ bouncin' buttcheeks for good measure. lol (2/2)
Castitalus
I was kinda disappointed by SAO. First arc felt rushed and no focus on the characters outside of the MC. And at the end, when he jumps back
Castitalus
into VR? Kinda was hoping they'd explore the massive PTSD you'd get from being trapped in a game.
HoweJ
SAO is just a cheap knockoff of .Hack//
Castitalus
Yeah, if I'm going to watch bouncing tits, might as well watch a hentai instead.
Omni21
That's the one problem I have with Food Wars. Would love to watch it with my son but thanks to fan service...not gonna happen!
Itwasmyname
Random ass-titties
KiwiGameDev
Oh dude I thought I was alone! Well mostly. AniFem is a good source of discussion on it
sparklefox09
I feel ecchi ruins anime. (>_>) just saying
McKavian
While I generally disagree with you, there have been a few animes I stopped watching just because of how stupid/ecchi/over the top they are.
Cucumbawumba
Same, just feels trashy and ruins the experience of the story. Some shows its built around it but most times it serves no purpose/too random
EarlQuortington
I agree most of the time, but some shows just wouldn't be the same without it. Kill la Kill for example.
GadenKerensky
Why are you being downvoted? Kill la Kill is all about its absurdity.
EarlQuortington
Exactly! It's statement isn't complete without the gratuitous ecchi and major plot points wouldn't work without it. :T
sparklefox09
I believe kill la kill is a exception, but there are other anime’s with massive amounts of ecchi and it’s just horrible.
iwanttomountndewya
If the anime is like *honest* about its ecchi then I think its fine. Highschool of the dead and Konosuba for example
iwanttomountndewya
But if the anime has serious subject matter and randomly throws a yoga-pants vagina shot in my face I'm gonna be put off quite a fuck bit
Itwasmyname
Put off by a fuck bit, you say.
iwanttomountndewya
Ran out of characters but thought it funny enough :D but yeah SAO is prime example for that
Itwasmyname
I liked SAO but I know it's not fine art. I watched Log Horizon at the same time and like it a lot better.
Clarion5
After the Rain has been really good considering the subject matter.
Raz45
It’s a good anime so far like the art style reminds me of late 80s early 90s anime.
Castitalus
I was quite surprised by it and how it's handling the girls infatuation. I'll be very surprised if they end up in a relationship together.
TheSomethingSomethingGenericReplyGuy
I'm currently watching it, as an almost 40yo... Right in the Kokoro!
AndyIsTheName
Is there anywhere I can watch it for free? That won't kill my phone?

I watch it via Amazon Prime at home. Might be available on horriblesubs website as. well

Its basically a depiction of a guy banging his little sister in ANY WAY EXCEPT THE ACTUAL, so that makes it ok and not pervy. Right?
onlyhalfghost
It's Monogatari being Monogatari, which means it's being weird intentionally and making a joke that only makes sense in Japan.

ThatOneIndustrialElectrician
So far I haven't liked the second season as much. But I'm only 3 episodes in
SilentMajority420
Season 1 was more fast paced compared to 2.
f3ll4g
It's like the medium (20min ep) is not adapted to the kind of story they are trying to tell in the S 2. They are cramming too much and 1/2
f3ll4g
It end's up feeling too shallow and less engaging. 2/2
webberjo
I know the feel. I just want to see Ainz being OP but it makes us sit through multiple episodes of side-character story. It's funny though.
ThatOneIndustrialElectrician
I kinda like the Albino Lizard but she is the only one of these new side characters I like
cecilshinra
It gets better after the lizard man.

I liked the lizard men.

As long as you don't mind being a week behind, you can still watch the it there completely free. Only newest episode is subscriber locked.

Lances get a mention towards the end of Evangelion.

It is
SpiralNihilism
"Get in the redhead, Shinji"
Mumalot
"dominate the redhead and you+her will be able to manipulate your mother"
PraiseTitties
Except unlike shinji. The main character wants to get in the mech
Itwasmyname
Shinji probably would have gotten in the mech if they'd put the girl in there. I mean, he got in the hospital room.
TheChronoMaster
That would be called 'Aquarion'.
namiasdf
It's awkwardly done. All the emotional content is handled poorly. No amount of fanservice can fix it

It’s by Studio Trigger, all former Gainax alumni, and probably had a huge hand making Evangelion.

"Rule34 Evangelion" soooo Evangelion?
Sxualhrssmntpanda
Evangelion definitely uses some of those subjects, but isn't just random thematics dressed around it. This looks rather... singular?
RedEyesWhiteSwaggin
The joke is OP said 'this looks like lewd/porn Evangelion' when Evangelion was significantly more lewd than anything Triggers has ever done.
RedEyesWhiteSwaggin
As for your point, I haven't watched/read much but Trigger generally subverts expectation.

It's basically if you tried to make Pacific Rim a sex metaphor. Why you would do this in the first place is beyond me
cosonfused
Because japan

darkninja2992

The existence of rule 34 invalidates any queries of "why?"

Because Genesis of Aquarion already did it and made a profit, so why not do it again?

Crossmalaki
Damn right.
FreyaNicci
Trigger hides deeper philosophical arguments begins a mountain of ecchi to confuse stupid people.
sitarhero
And those deeper philosophical arguments are?
FreyaNicci
Episode 3. The skimpy outfits are intentional because they're making a point about female empowerment. If you have true resolve and will 1/
FreyaNicci
Then the opinions of naysayers can be ignored. They only exist to drag you down. Stand tall and shameless if your motivations are righteous.
FreyaNicci
There's also the obvious themes of fascism, evolution, existential crisis, nillithism, puberty, social inequality, and family values.
sitarhero
These are pretty apparent on the surface despite drowning beneath sexual themes.
BishlamekGurpgork
Or to make sure the people who would enjoy it lose interest in the first two episodes.
FreyaNicci
Case in point.
BishlamekGurpgork
Cute, but seriously. If you're courting the intelligent, the way to lose them is to look like another ecchi harem sex robot anime.
BishlamekGurpgork
2) I plan on picking this one up, but mainly bacause I know the studio, and trust them to do something good despite the surface appearance.
