Kuzu no Honkai airs today. Will be interesting how explicit they`ll dare to show it if at all.

>Handshakers
Can you go indepth or am I taking the bait
Evan Long
So Handshakers is actually good?
Matthew Williams
Is this not what you want? Are you not entertained?
Xavier Young
Really good.
Grayson Williams
Already aired and subbed
Gabriel Bell
Best OST of the season. Best animated show of the season, also stylistic choices might be jarring for some. Still not even LWA competes (though quality might drop later, which happened with [K] as well). First anime to be watched in VR device like Occulus/HTC for proper experience First Vaporware art genre anime Fixed [K] fujoshi problem by replacing fujo bait with lolis Quality fanservice Best Ost
Basically its glorified full length AMV and unless after 5 minutes your feel dizzy and losing body balance, absolutely worth watching.
Camden Lopez
I couldn't watch 10 seconds of it
Julian Jenkins
Its glorious. Wether its good or bad is entirely different question, story might go either way.
I wish there was GN season 2. Too bad instead we get Sore Ga Seiyuu in bizzaro workd aka Akiba Strip. Also i woudnt mind SgS proper season also.
Aaron Lee

Bentley Peterson
First minute or two are the worst because its litterally copy paste from PVs for anime and really jarring. So endure, it improves.
Jose Lopez
I'm really confused right now, is Handshakers good or not?
Benjamin Watson
Ita shit
You see the selling point of K project was its gang fights but take that away for some generic school shit and slap the same art/animation style and you get trash shakers
There's no reason to watch it
Logan Torres
It's amazing. Honestly AOTY material if they keep it up.
Ethan James
Am I the only one that thought Hand Shakers was almost completely unwatchable? Visuals gave me a headache within fifteen minutes and borderline motion sickness. I don't even know what the fuck it was about because I couldn't focus at all.
Jack Peterson
>AOTY: Handshakers
Wew lad. Is it really that good? Don't make me check it out.
Austin Davis
Best anime currently airing
Colton Green
See for yourselves
Dylan Bailey
How did this studio fall under my radar?
Angel Morris
AOTS: undecided
God tier: Handshakers, new meme animation + lolis + fanservice + urban fantasy battles is exactly what I desire
God tier with shit animation: Konosuba s2, it was amazing outside the DEEN animation otherwise it would be aots
Good tier: Masamune-kun no Revenge, inconsistent female lead, somewhat fun male lead, enjoyed the op too
3 episode rule tier: Gabriel Dropout, pretty average sol which might be fun for a few episodes depending on how they handle char relations and the jokes
Dropped so fking hard tier: Kobayashi, meh it wasn't bad but wasn't worth watching either Youjo Senki (ugly char designs AND shitty storytelling which both the manga/ln did interestingly enough that I was disappointed with how the anime handled it)
Gavin Moore
>Don't make me check it out. Anyone who relies on summaries/other recommendations is a faggot. This way you`ll not experience dozens of actually great shows
Just watch it, at very least its most ambitious show of the season. To like it or not is personal taste and prefferences.
Kevin Davis
Great: Konosuba Demi-chan Kuzu no Honkai
Good: Masamune Gabriel Maid Dragon
Good but not quite as good as the ones above: ACCA Yowamushi Urara
Ok: Little Witch Academia Zestiria Fuuka
Shit: Everything else that has aired
My opinion is superior to yours because I've watched more animes than you.
Julian Wood
>GoHands >under radar Where you living under the rock?
Recommendations to watch something are fine if you're using them to find something to watch as often enough popular opinion is popular opinion for a reason.
Recommendations to not watch something however is often wrong as you may miss out on gems you otherwise would not have (e.g. if you listened to Sup Forums, you would never touch master of martial hearts and experience the most wtf ending as well as possibly the worst anime ever made)
Samuel Reyes
I already miss Flip Flappers.
So far LWA, Konosuba, Demi Chan and Maid dragon and urara have all been ok at least.
Camden Bennett
>at very least its most ambitious show
That's some hefty words that are gonna need to be backed up
I highly doubt it's doing anything remarkably different to set itself apart besides its eye cancer background cg animation
Jackson Davis
I see people rating Fuuka low which is fair but I feel judgement should be saved until we see how they do THAT scene
John Taylor
Best Tier: LWA
Great Tier: Rakugo 2 KonoSuba 2 Demi-chan
Good Tier: Gabriel DropOut Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon Piace: Watashi no Italian Urara Meirochou
OK Tier: ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka Tales of Zestiria the X 2nd Season
Meh Tier: Kuzu no Honkai
Trash Tier: Masamune-kun no Revenge Seiren
Dropped: Akiba's Trip One Room Youjo Senki
Kayden Jenkins
People rating Fuuka low are mostly people who read the manga. The rest simply doesnt watch it.
Tyler Morris
This is pure eargasm
Easton Ross
Hand shakers being aoty is a meme. The dialogue is laughably bad. However, since Sup Forumsutists never talk to people, they wouldnt notice. The only good thing about hand shakers is the amount of work put into animation. Even background characters actually had character designs. Take that away and you have another absolute duo or equivalent shit. Could get better in later episodes, but for the plot and dialogue so far... It's shit.
>a visual medium being judged by its visual merits is bad
Bentley Long
>The dialogue is laughably bad. However, since Sup Forumsutists never talk to people, they wouldnt notice.
I like how more than half the dialogue was regarding extremely abnormal scenarios but you have no problem relegating this to what some user may experience in their regular lives thus could have no understanding of, as if the concept of literature or film itself didn't exist.
I can't possibly wield magic so I should never watch a mahou shoujo show because since I was never a little girl forced with defending something or somebody. I wouldn't notice some dialogue aspects that were meant for little girls who have done such.
Luke Howard
>Good tier ACCA 13-ku Kansatsu-ka Demi-chan wa Kataritai Gabriel Dropout KonoSuba 2 Seiren
>Okay tier Akiba's Trip Maid Dragon One Room Urara Meirochou Youjo Senki
>AOTY: Handshakers Hand Shakers was fucking terrible. Easily one of the worst shows this season. And it looks like garbage between the CGI and horrible art style.
Aaron Ramirez
Its a story telling medium too
It's not like video games where you can ignore the story and play purely for gameplay
Christopher Garcia
If you judged it solely by visual merits, konosuba is shit and ubw is a masterpiece. Just because something looks good, doesn't mean the content is good.
Jaxson Phillips
>First anime to be watched in VR device like Occulus/HTC for proper experience
Couldn't defend the dialogue critique so now you're moving on? Typical.
Caleb James
That was my first post in this thread.
Jeremiah Jones
Sure.
Dylan Barnes
>all the fags who didn't watch Handshakers better fuck off to reddit, I bet you watch crap like Rezero
Juan Howard
The season has been a big surprise for me. Didn't think I'd like this many shows
William Walker
You know how really bad anime is usually compared to stuff like trainwrecks? Well, Handshakers is 9/11
Jack Fisher
But how is Hand Shakers watched in VR? I don't see a 360 video for it.
Levi Nelson
Not only are all five of those going to end up better than Flip Flappers, but they're going to sell more too.
Charles Anderson
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
Eli Mitchell
Kill yourself
Isaac Lee
Handshakers lovers and haters discussion is ever existing one of modernists vs traditionalists.
Handshakers breaks new ground and ventures in new lands, creating things impossible for normal media and signifying changes to come to anime in the future.
The tradionalists as always are scared and unhappy. Same thing happened with Digital coloring in 2000.
Eventually era of static anime and flapping mouth will be gone for good though, replaced by VR like anime with proper camera work, dimensional depth and movement - with old works remaining only as concious "stylistic statement". You cant stop the progress. HS is just ahead of its time a bit.
Brody Bell
I don't think you know what that means.
Ryder Foster
Well it was a new IP at least
Leo Turner
Early digital coloring still looks like fucking shit even though people eventually got good at it. The first CGI movies like Tin Toy look like total ass today. They're noteworthy but they're not good. Being innovative doesn't make something a good piece of work, you faggot fuck
Ayden Hill
883
Michael Lopez
>Being innovative doesn't make something a good piece of work You heard it here first
Dominic Wood
It doesn't. By your logic Jurassic Park: Trespasser is the greatest video game ever made because it was the first to have a physics engine. Fuck off.
Blake Howard
>Being this autistic because someone doesn't like what you like
I'm talking about during the fight scene where the antagonist gets ass blasted for no reason, pretty much talking to himself.
Or the extremely awkward car fixing scene which really had no flow. Maybe all the partners just have really bad social skills and its part of the plot. Again, this is just an impression on the first episode. No need to get triggered.
Nolan Torres
Can someone just tell me if one can really watch this thing in VR or not? Google comes up with nothing so I'm guessing not but I want to make sure.
Easton Rogers
I wanna kill myself
Samuel Brown
>greatest video game ever made Who said Handshakers was the greatest anime ever made?
Juan Walker
You did
Asher Morgan
If we were talking about something with the animation quality of Redline, then you could probably watch that just for the animation and put up with everything else being as bad as it could possibly be. But this is no Redline.
Samuel Anderson
Where exactly?
Jaxson Rogers
It doesn't though you dumbass. It might be of historical significance, and it is often the case that the first use of certain writing techniques is often concurrent with true classics, but even so, it does not inand of itself make it good.
Levi James
Why?
Carter Fisher
In your head, I'm a mind reader.
Wyatt Collins
Now that I've seen an episode of everything I was interested.
People aren't really hating on the art and for the most part, it has pretty good impressions. It's the plot that doesn't break any new grounds and without the trippy art, this anime would go right into the trash.
Camden Parker
Well no, I definitely didn't either think or say or type that Handshakers was the greatest anime ever so I'd still like to know where your hyperbole came from...
Joshua Sullivan
People are actually defending this.
Colton Sullivan
D for Dragon
Charles Allen
Stop lying to me.
Eli Brown
God-tier: Demi, Gabriel, Maidodragon. Conan Great-tier: Ao no, One Room, Nyanko Days, LWA Average-tier: Akiba, Fuuka, Fat Kid Revenge, Handshakers DEEN-tier: Konosuba
Michael Brooks
I'm not, again I don't think and neither did I ever say that Handshakers was the greatest anime ever but to deny that there is no artistic value in trying something new and breaking new ground is silly. Is it the best? Again no, but appreciate it for what it is.
Andrew Baker
Wait people actually liked the terrible animation in Hand Shakers? The first 2 minutes alone made me feel nauseous.
Jack Taylor
Is 883 for Floppers fake or real?
Lincoln Gutierrez
That's disgusting.
Jacob Reyes
>Handshakers breaks new ground
IT'S LITERALLY FUCKING K PROJECT BUT DIFFERENT PLOT AND CHARACTERS
Thomas Morales
It's the Yamakan line.
Ryan Roberts
Apparently.
Oliver Hernandez

Justin Richardson

Matthew Gray
That was the initial impression based on PVs, but no - its not. Its very different visually.

Aiden Bell
That doesn't explain anything about what the post you replied to was complaining about. You can fellate yourself for theorising about how deep you think it is all you want, but that doesn't make it an argument.
Jason Barnes
The original post he was replying to was originally a post about how the show was bad because of the dialogue, giving more details and reasoning behind the dialogue in the serious seems to be reasonable.
Josiah Mitchell
Reread >maybe it's part of the plot Maybe i just undermined it because the plot was too generic. But in all honesty, the way they develop their characters is poor in sensibility. It's not enjoyable and only takes away from the experience. Just because something implies a 'deep' character doesn't mean it's actually deep. At this point, these characters are just one-dimensional characterized by that one trait. You say 2deep4u but these characters haven't even reached complex yet. Again this is only the first episode. You're setting yourself up for disappointment expecting good development from something like this.
And if you want to nitpick, yes i do notice that the main character keeps his trauma behind by indulging himself in fixing things. Will the anime continue to do this? I highly doubt it. In conclusion.. It's probably shit.
Mason Hernandez
Creators tell the story will reveal itself fully by episode nine
Wyatt Long
That guy is a retard who got really triggered because tons of people shit on the show. He then decided to push those "2deep4u" and "it doesn't look like shit, it's just different and innovative" arguments despite the show being just a bunch of oversued cliches.
Ethan Williams
>1 episode in the characters haven't had enough time to develop Holy fuck why do I bother with you people.
Landon Wright
Ill give it 9 episodes then. And for another example of developed characters turning into shit, kotoura-san.
