Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
im happy with rokka, glad the animation and art is very good, and the story as i said is awesome, really when i read the ln i never got the feeling it was a had jp manga story, with the usual cliches, wonder if they ll keep the feeling on the anime too.
Gangsta also was very nice, still have to check out charlotte and gate, checked out Senki Zesshou Symphogear GX, mostly cause it was tagged as sci fi, but already dropped, not my cup of tea really.
Now just need to wait for god eater today hoho!

Just watched first ep of Ushio to Tora. Loved the manga, but yeah it's a 90s shounen story. Loved it.

Hmmm...pretty fun season so far. Here's a rundown of what I've watched already.
Gangsta - already said, seems good.
Okusama - a 10 min show that's pretty funny
Classroom Crisis - was about to write this one off until the main dude showed up. He seems like the type of prick I want to cheer for
Aoharu X Kikanjuu - actually not impressed by this show, was fairly boring
Rokka no Yuusha - so far so good, looks unique enough
Charlotte - main guy is at least likeable, we'll see how it goes
Working!!! - more of the same ol' goodness, although a lot of the old gags are getting worn out
Ushio to Tora - alright so far, the humor is good
GATE - good first episode, checked out the manga and ended up reading it all up to the current issue. Its really cool. Only issue I see is that its likely to leave out the more mature content like violence and nudity. Some of it was pretty profound in the manga (the enemies placed a flag atop a pile of bodies in the first issue).
Shimoneta - just might be the funniest show of the season, I hope it keeps that up. Blue Snow is awesome, so is Hyoka. "bodymelding flies" is your catch-phrase of the week people.

Have to agree, this season is starting off much stronger than I expected. Just gonna go in alphabetical since I'm lazy:
Aoharu x Kikanjuu -- Seems interesting, but we'll see. I fucking loved Sabagebu from last summer, probably one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Don't see this one being as good though. MC weirds me out with the whole trap thing going on.
Charlotte -- Probably going to take a few episodes to judge, but since it's from the same people who did Canaan (Alphard is the only anime character I've ever wanted to waifu) and Angel Beats I'll give it a fair shake. The MC is a special brand of asshole who got what was coming to him in the first episode though, can dig it.
Classroom Crisis -- Seemed stupid at the beginning but the latter part of the episode turned it around, we'll see.
Whatever the new Dragon Ball show is called -- Shit, I'll watch it just because it's Dragon Ball. I'll admit though I've never seen an episode in Japanese and dear god is Goku's voice awful.
Gangsta -- Seems pretty badass, the whole setting reminds me of Black Lagoon. Will definitely continue watching this one.
Gate -- Heard good things about the manga, really like the concept of modern vs. medieval without stupid magic bullshit being thrown in. Funny in a sort of sick way to see just how badly a modern military would destroy people with spears n' shit. I blame Civilization games.
Okusama ga Seitokaicho -- Well I was not expecting that. Had no intention of watching this, but when Crunchyroll posts both the censored and uncensored version of a show it piques my interest because hey, there has to be a real reason right?
Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace -- Now this is a show that got my attention. First episode reminded me of a mix of the beginning of Deadman Wonderland and the setting of Se7en.
Rokka no Yuusha -- Story reminds me of a lot of the various fantasy shows out there, but not quite as trite or cheesy. A lot of people really like the manga so I'll keep watching.
Shimoneta etc etc -- Jesus titty fucking Christ I was not expecting that. Agree with people comparing it to Shokugeki, it's just so stupidly over the top in its craziness. I can never look at flies the same way again.
Ushio to Tora -- Seems good in an old school sort of way. Nothing amazing but something to watch to pass the time.
That's everything I've watched so far, out of town til tomorrow night. If I haven't watched a show it's either a follow up season to something I haven't watched or it just looked too terrible. If there's something really good that I've skipped, let me know.

I really need to get a Funi sub, but I don't know if I want to add a third streaming sub (CR and Netflix already). Especially since this season it seems damn near everything that I've liked is on CR except for Gangsta, Shimoneta, and Ranpo Kitan. Really isn't too much hassle to use some of the less legitimate streaming sites or just torrent from Nyaa.

I watched it for the very same reason. The censor is there because there's a scene where the main character sucks on a tit. The show didn't have any real lasting impression except "what the fuck?" so I'll not continue any farther.

They also censored out the condoms she threw out at the beginning, just white shapes with no detail to them. Didn't notice there was an uncensored version, so I watched it back to back with the other one. Probably won't keep watching it either, but it's only 10min a week, so I might just watch it for the hell of it.
Speaking of censoring, whats the least-censored version of Shimoneta you can get? I'd expect at least some level of censoring given the subject matter, but I just want to get around as much as possible. Like, I have the HorribleSubs version, and pretty much every line the Blue Snow chick says has a blaring horn and *'s to cover stuff up, and kept blocking some hand motion she was doing. Is there a version with more of that stuff taken out?

Yeah, that was annoying, but I dunno. I imagine the raw show aired in Japan had the same Audio, so they used *** to show you where in the word the horn would sound?
Just an assumption at least. They clearly don't have an issue with bad words or nudity, as they did the uncensored version of the tit show without any issues.

Official word is that Episode 1 with air on the 12th, this is the second delay in production for Ufotable with God Eater. There are rumors it could be pushed back a month to August 14th, but nothing substantiated.

Japan has had 'cherry boys' since forever. Look at the main character in Kuroshiysuji.
