Chihayafuru Season 3
 
All i need now is a new, last season, for Spice and Wolf

Open AI is a Non for Profit group who was founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman in 2015 after Elon invested 1 billion dollars into the company to help develop AI and it's capabilities which can better aid humanity.
It has recently published a small report outlining that some big named people are now contributing towards the Open AI's future. In a blog they posted they came out with this
Yes, you aren't confusing him, that's Gabe Newell, big shot at Valve Corporation who has pledged his donations towards Open AI. Open AI has also said that Elon will be departing the board due to conflicts of interest (TESLA) however he will be contributing his assistance and financial support towards the project. 
Open AI has said it's still committed towards its research and it's AI systems, especially in DOTA 2 in which last year at the International it put it's OpenAI Bot against the world's best player at the time, Dendi live on stage.  They have also announced their new board members in a final paragraph.

Sounds like Blood Blockade Battlefront/Kekkai Sensen. I remember hearing that it actually got a good dub, too.

I come with a special request, to people that watch naruto that might know this.
 
So i decided to watch naruto again, but i dont' remember the last episode i watched(number), i remember the last thiing happening when i stopped watching was that Gaara, the tsuchikage and mizukage fighting the old kages, so gaara vs his father that uses some kind of sand with gold i believe?  I dont remember much sorry. I believe around here we see some background story about gaara, how he became the way he is, about his mother too.
 
I also remember Madara gathering 7/9 tailed beasts and going onto the war, but he didn't make it yet while i was watching.
 
Sooo yeah, if it helps, i remember that i watched episodes 320+ for sure
 
 
Edit: Found wiki with episodes and a description of what happens on them, solved.

I hope you plan on watching Brotherhood too, if you haven't already.

I believe it's the 1st season of an anime with more seasons, maybe that explains some shit?
 
 
Ima finish watching Boku Dake ga inai machi. I watched the 1st episode and i liked it, but life happened and never continued.
 

Kamisama Hajimemashita was a good anime.
I second the romcom's recommendations as they are the only ones that i know.
 
Nozaki-kun, was a lot more comedy than romance (but sitll romcom) And very funny.
Jitsu wa watashi wa has very nice comedy (to me at least) but as far as i remember, it was another school harem.
 
 
 
It isn't, i liked it quite a bit, watched every season and i think 1 movie (when they go to london)
 
Nana was the last anime that blew my mind. Such masterpiece to me.
 
Also check out Chihayafuru. I actually watched both seasons (24 ep each) in 2 days from monday to tuesday, such an amazing anime. I'm dying for a season 3.
 
 
 
 
PS: Nice, after not being so active on the forums every once in a while i come back to read stuff, in the last 4 times this is the 1st one that i saw people discussing anime. Wonderful.

I think that's because the grand majority of anime we watch, and dare to finish, are going to be good enough to be a 7/10. That's what i think about why ppl always use 7-9 and sometimes 10, and never below. And i don't rate anime i drop, so usually everything i watch is as good as a 6 or 7 lol.
 
 
Still, this kind of rating uses a scale that's different for every person.

Not sure if someone posted this, but these are the Spring animes that are going to be aired:

Yeah i watched them and yes with the sinopsis i thought the whole anime would be about body switching, but it's OK that way you don't know what will be the next phenomenon.
Oh I liked the art style and atmosphere a lot, and it's an anime made to be marathoned ;p, I'm glad I didn't have to wait a week between each episode.
I'm looking forward to seeing:
 
Koutetsujou no kanebari
Joker game
Concrete revolutio 2nd season
Mayoiga
Bougou stray dogs
 
And others I'll check out
 
Big order
Kuromukuro
 

Holy shit, what's up with those characters, i thought this was going to be a Bokura ga ita Movie to give it an ending to the anime because those 2 characters look VERY SIMILAR to the ones in the anime i mention. And it isn't.
 
Bokura ga ita:

 
Couldn't find better pic, but they are very similar. If this anime was made today, it would look exactly like that movie.

Finally got around to watching Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions and it was really good tbh. Going to go probabaly buy the Bluray for it to add it to my collection.
Also been watching DBZ Super, Dagashi Kashi and ordered my Date a Live Season 2 so looking forward to watch that too. 

I had no idea, i'm glad they managed to do that though, the anime would've been completely different if it only had 13 episodes.
 
 
 
Just started(1 ep so far) Boku Dake ga Inai Machi cuz a friend recommended it to me, and i saw @azurezeed say it was good ^^ Man the art style and quality is very good! I like that. And that's one hell of a 1st episode!!

Nice!!
 
 
Kokoro Connect is on my top anime of all time, i liked it A LOT. You watched the 4 ovas that give the anime an ending right?
 
I also postponed it a lot, and when i wrote a mini-review about it after finishing it, i remember i regretted that decision, but i also liked a lot that the synopsis didn't spoil much about it.
 
Best thing about it to me, is how "unique" the plot was.
The ovas are basically episodes that grant the anime a good ending.

The hype is so fucking real
 

I couldn't agree more.
 
Fanservice compilation
 
This compilation can easily be in a hentai site LOL.

Good picks, shinkai  really do a lot of great stuff.
 

Started watching One Punch Man and it's freaking hilarious. It started off awesome with that boy and the huge chin LOL.
 
Watched 3 eps so far, i really don't get what the story is about just yet, but it definately is fun to watch. It's nice, and surprising, that so far i didn't see any big boob fanservicey teenager on a school uniform.
 
 
Now, how the f*ck do i make this forum go dark theme again, every time i come back to it it changed 

Guess I'll pitch in to keep this thread alive AND on-topic
 
Bubuki Buranki (4). bad.
Ugh, what a pity. This anime wastes so much creativity. This could honestly have been something special, but the writing is just godawful. Everything is still stuck in first gear. Characters are one-note as it gets, with the shallowest of motivations. They haven't changed at all since episode 1; gun guy is still just a generically evil maniac, angry girl is still just generically angry, and the others are barely characters at all. The impenetrable plot has barely advanced, and yet with every step it just gets dumber. Worst of all, things just happen at random to contrive plot developments. Need a one on one fight? Well, give the villain a convenient trinket that forces reality to bend in that way. Why would he even bother doing so? Who cares! Need to get your characters to a floating island? Have the MC conveniently find a train to take them there. I know I criticize anime harshly for their bad writing, but this was Awesome Comics level garbage. With some decent writing, BBK could have been another Gurren Lagann, or at least another Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but instead it's closer to Mars of Destruction sans the "so bad it's good" aspect. I'm not wasting any more time on this junk.
 
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (4). decent.
This ep was a pretty slow burn, in both the good and bad ways. It's fine to display your characters' aimless "college phase", but you want to spice things up a bit more than this. Thankfully at least that lameness reinforced the point of the episode, which is that people appreciate the storyteller, not the story itself. Alas, the actual rakugo performance here didn't really sell me on how funny it was, which is a shame because the anime's been doing quite well in that regard. Still, at least it was a good bit of subtle character work... it's just a shame that they didn't put on more of a show for people who aren't in the mood to watch this episode for subtlety.
 
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (5). good.
After a couple of episodes of Yakumo moping around, we finally get to see him learn what it means to perform a show for others. And for once in anime, this kind of thing is handled with tact and grace, though I'm sure some people will feel uncomfortable with how openly they show him coming to terms with his stage fright and how they portray the almost brotherly body language between him and Sukeruko. Thankfully though, they focus on his own realization that he's simply been obsessing with being a mainstream Rakugo artist, rather than the type he's actually cut out for. This isn't about him grappling with who he is, it's simply about him "finding his pipe" (to put it in in-joke terms). Had they gone just a bit too far, it might have undermined the whole point of the show thus far.
 
Renai Kaidain Sayako-san manga (v1-2). good.
Mix a quirky romcom with the standard manga "I see dead people" premise, give it a fun artstyle, and you've got an idea of what to expect here (something like xxxHolic without the central theme, or Monogatari without the pretentiousness or creepy fanservice). It's doing its job well, though it took a while for me to see what it was going for. It's not particularly complex and the genuine laughs are few, but I don't pick too much fault with any comedy where the characters actually grow on me. My only concern is that I'm not sure where it can go except full-out harem territory (and there are some hints of that already). That said, at least it seems like it would be on the decent side of harem series.
 
Boku no Hero Academia (v1-4). good.
A good example of a stereotypical and formulaic shounen manga done well. At its core it's just another "combat highschool" manga so far, but with the trappings of a more Western comic book setting (in a self-aware manner). Thankfully the focus is on the colorful cast of characters, and as of four volumes they're getting fleshed out quite well. They have strong personalities that suit the setting and tone, and the whole thing has a Medaka Box vibe to it, except that it feels like it's trying to entertain rather than impress. The art style is pretty nice and flashy, and it's shown a willingness to explore themes a little, even if it's mostly been content to go through the motions you'd expect in a story like this. In other words it has the fundamentals down, but hasn't done anything particularly memorable with them yet. Whether it escapes the Shounen Jump gravity well remains to be seen, but I don't think it can just yet. On a side note, I can't help but wonder if Trigger was the better studio to tackle the anime rather than Bones.
 
Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (c7). good.
This chapter had an important moment that was nice to see, as it contrasts well with how this kind of manga would more typically be done. It gives me hope that we'll get a more serious and subdued story, once they actually start to capitalize on the themes and topics that should go with this sort of story. However, this chapter was also a bit disjoint and devoid of much else aside from the big moment, so its potential impact was dulled. As such it didn't wow me, so much as just make me breathe a sigh of relief for the manga's prospects.

Oh god please don't be this shit again
 

 
YEP
 

 
le  omg lo SCIENCE so SMART SUCH NERD wow SO COOL WOW i know what that is am 2 smurt very good
 
 
 
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
 

 
 
 
also if a mod happens to read this, fuck whoever thought these utter bitchmade " " icons were a good idea to make default
 
i had to fucking snip that out of Word because I don't want these stupid facist stickers all over my post
 
who the hell was on the QC team that approved this cunting failboat of a forum downgrade

Nice.
 
I think HxH will win, but i doubt people will watch the whole thing in order to discuss it D:. Maybe i'm wrong though.
 
 
 
 
Also, adding to the complaint bout the new forum theme... WHY REMOVE THE LIKE BUTTON? Now i have so many options, and sometimes they don't represent what i want. For example, i would've liked fred's post because the poll is up, but now i don't think that post is ethier Informative, funny, friendly, he's not making any points and i can't just agree with the poll being up cuz makes no sense.
Now i realise what the Like button truly was....
 
R.I.P Like button....

Well, I'm done with KamiNomi. Kinda blaise about it overall, but I don't really regret the watch.
The World God Only Knows S3. decent.
This season had a better premise than the previous ones and started off with a bang: snappy pacing and a surprisingly energetic script that had me hoping that it really would be as good as its scores hint at on review sites. Unfortunately, it slowly becomes a mess of plot contrivances, and slowed down enough for those to become too noticeable. Worse, what seemed like hints of character development weren't handled terribly well, and the big character event in the ending only works well conceptually. So yeah, this season is pretty overrated. It's a tad better than the previous ones for having an overarching plot, but since that plot is a mess it's a mixed bag. If you like these kinds of anime then TWGOK is still good overall (for its genre), but it just doesn't pay off well enough to make it an easy recommendation for anyone else.
Episode reviews spoilered.

Well, that's another batch of episodes watched.
Luck and Logic (3). so-so.
Aw, that's a shame. As expected, rather than becoming more interesting, this anime is getting less interesting. There were some decent ideas here that kept this from being downright trash-tier, but they weren't handled particularly well. The stuff with Yurine felt half-hearted at best, and the thought processes of the characters weren't very convincing. In fact the execution of this ep was downright sloppy, with a weirdly stilted sense of timing, and if the music wasn't decent enough to pick up the slack for the shaky editing and insincere script then this could have been cringe-worthy. As it stands it's nothing more than a serviceable notch in the "team formation" phase of the story, but it sacrifices quite a bit to get there. I'm still not ready to drop this series, but my expectations have pretty much bottomed out. Especially given the lame villains. In fact I think this show missed its calling to be a wacky series about inter-dimensional border guards.
Rainbow Days (2). bad.
To hell with this. I figured I'd give it another shot (since I've started dropping other ones) but this was just plain hard to watch. I was hoping for an inferior Jitsu wa Watashi wa or Nichibros, but not THIS inferior. Overly obnoxious characters, an uninspired script, and comedy that's so common in anime that it isn't comedic anymore. Not to mention that the drama was so over-the-top it might as well be made for little kids instead of teens or older. It might have helped if there was something interesting going on, but it's just plain insipid so far. If only Tabi Machi Late Show could have had this budget instead.
Bubuki Buranki (2). good.
Wow, what a campy cheesefest this is turning out to be... and not in an entirely unenjoyable way. My word of advice is to not go into this one expecting a solid or "good" story, but rather one that's carefully chosen in order to show off the state-of-the-art for modern anime CGI. That's not to say that you can't get sucked into it if you want, since it's a weirdly entertaining little spectacle show so far. It's also not to say that the CGI is "there" yet, but they're certainly doing their best to make the most of it. The facial expressions and poses are pretty solid, and a lot of clever directorial work does its best to bring out the best without all of the flaws being too much to bear. It's like they choose whatever suited the CGI, rather than just slapping CGI poorly into a show that didn't have enough budget for traditional animation (I have no idea how those kids stay glued onto that Titan thing, mind you). The overall effect is something that might just be able to keep me watching, even if it's not a story I'll remember. At least they have Anemone and Hol Horse here to keep me entertained, and a surprisingly good OP and ED.
Bubuki Buranki (3). mediocre.
I like to judge spectacle anime not by the action, but by the inevitable bits where they feel they need to slow things down for a while. The good ones use this time to flesh out the side characters, and build camaraderie and resolve in their factions. The lame ones do what this episode did instead, infodumping what we already know, having pointless squabbles over nothing, and generally NOT doing what the story should be doing instead. For example, why didn't they skip this BS here and just have the kids have to learn to use teamwork on their own in order to fly to the island, while we learn about their reasons for fighting, with the MC's resolve to get to his mother right away inspiring them to set aside their differences? Then they could even end on a really nice cliffhanger where they realize just how bad things are on the island, and perhaps realize that MC's partly to blame for it all, and so on. It's Storytelling 101 stuff. Instead things slowed down and we learned nothing significant about anyone. Then they had the gall to end things with a cliffhanger where we finally get a taste of what we should have been seeing throughout the entire episode. Way to break momentum and immersion for nothing, guys.
Teekyuu 7 (3). good.
I found more jokes funny in this ep than usual, especially the echos and the 4.5-tatami summit. It felt like the jokes were more creative than random this time.
Dimension W (3). mediocre.
What a load of slapped-together horseshit this anime is so far. Way to waste an episode on "winding down" despite having done nothing of real consequence in the plot yet. So dig this: we finally learn something about Robo Mary Sue -- oh wait, no we don't. We just watch her get her first paycheck, buy her first apartment, and then save some of the dumbest kids I've seen in an anime for a long time... all so that anyone who's been sleep-watching this show knows for sure that she's indeed a robot. This also leads to a laughably contrived meeting with some New Tesla COO where we learn more superficial crap, and the episode ends by showing us some random rich dude dying in some random mansion. Whoa, I'd best lie down until my head stops spinning from all of this plot progression and characterization. Seriously, we must have learned a half-dozen new labels for things in this episode, and had three or four things reiterated just in case we're total idiots. Maybe next episode we'll actually see what the hell it means to be a "beast of Grendel" or what shady designs New Tesla has for Dead-Eyes McGee. I can't wait for Robo Mary Sue to have to save him from them, despite him always treating her like shit, thus proving that friendship is the most powerful coil of all or some other garbage. And what are Numbers? Why, they're just rare powerful coils! Le gasp!
Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut (1). awkward.
It was suggested to me to watch this again, but from the perspective of it being "so bad it's good", or some kind of genre parody. Well, it's neither, but then it's kind of efficient in it's lameness (for this episode, at least). This was 22 minutes of tired cliches being delivered constantly, and it's a very weird feeling to know almost everything that'll happen despite the plot being so jumpy and random. I guess there's some limited novelty from that perspective, but that's not exactly a plus - it really just makes the series awkward, especially when the tsundere apparently masturbates in the bath after she fights with based MC. Ultimately I wouldn't say this was "fun" as much as "not un-fun", if that makes any sense. I still can't recommend it as anything more than a curiosity though, unless you live and breathe these kinds of light novel adaptations.
