I wouldn't say nosedive, but ep 5 definitely looked weird compared to the other episodes. It looked more like something Yuasa would do than the other 4 eps.

At least F2P games are good for the anime industry...

This leaves you with erm Monster?

Don't forget the New Year's and Summer Special episodes.

As others have said, what TV shows do you normally enjoy?

Sorry, not weird enough.

Sorry we all diverted attention from the actual article.

And to think, it's based on a F2P card game.

+ Parasyte. Inou Battles is also fun.

Depends what people count Oban Star Racers as. That's a sort of similar situation.

Like that Twintails show. It's the most anime anime to have ever anime'd.

Let's not forget that this year has also seen some more Mushi-shi in every single season. That's about as far away as you can get from fanservice.

SPOILERS

Aside from some very recent exceptions like Attack on Titan and Knights of Sidonia, anime has been in a bit of a fanservice funk for the last decade or so. It's great seeing Kickstarter find ways for fans of older anime, where eyes were smaller and explosions more numerous, to get the kind of content they've been…

Sorry to disappoint you.

Monster I think has some minor instances. But it's not sci-fi/ fantasy.

What did the Super Robots Wars OG anime do? In the games one of the teams was a 20 something couple and an older man. I do worry they followed the kid team though...

So not Naruto X Sasuke?

I think they're probably stuck for story reasons. With the Aldnoah tech they probably could get home easily, but they don't...

I think it's mentioned early on that just before the series starts they've started being able to do journeys back be forth (how the princess gets to earth).
