As to the name '遠月', the Japanese edition of the manga says, 'Tōtsuki.' |

Well, just watched Dungeon and I am both not impressed but also not annoyed
The show at this point is the purest form of average with a decent setup and good character banter but is just setup. I suppose it would be best to wait but I am concerned about how this will turn out or if it will be any good I will give it two more episodes before a watch/drop evaluation |

Food Wars is going to have to get a lot better really fast, because that first episode was compost. Did they really have to top off the food erotica with all the naked children in the end credits? Nothing wrong with foodgasms - Yakitate!! Japan showed how to do it and still be fun - but if the only way you can match what's been done is slathering it in bodily fluids, you're better off skipping it altogether.
Btw, I really like the ratings up front so I don't have to click through several times and back to rate and get that info. Nice improvement! |

Why would you bother? They're such utterly different series that they have absolutely nothing in common.
Based on the descriptions in the first light novel, not all of the gods who have come to Earth dress so (comparatively) plainly. You should seem of that next episode. Also keep in mind that those gods are living amongst mortals essentially as mortals. That means they can't just magic up outfits, so they have to dress like mortals, too. Hence really elaborate costumes would (in most cases) be logically inconsistent. |

I am a big fan of the manga, and even I was somewhat turned off by the first episode. Usually the extra-long first chapter gets an entire episode in anime adaptations of manga, but this is a case where I think the show would have benefited from speeding through the prologue and trying to hook the viewer on what becomes the main topic to keep watching for: the competition between students and their respective styles, competing to see who can sway the judges more decisively. Getting that peek at Erina after the credits felt pretty hollow when you're barely given enough context to know what's going on. They really should have condensed the land shark story and ended episode 1 with spoiler[Souma getting ready to challenge Erina's test, after having been introduced to the atmosphere at Tootsuki and learning about Erina's ability.] |

Watched the first ep of Shokugeki no Soma. Ok, I can totally see why a sex-negative person might take issues with the show, it's very fanservicy, but it's at least equal opportunity fanservicy, with sexy guys in there that also get naked. Was the sexiness absolutely necessary? No, that's just a thing they do. Did it detract from the series in any way if you aren't sex-negative? No. So yeah, if it's not your thing it's not your thing, but for what it is, I think they pulled it off well and created an entertaining first episode. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, because I've only read what they ran in US Jump, which was like the first two chapters and then skipped to like chapter 100, so it'll be interesting to see what happened in between.

Ohoni, please don't repeat you antics from the Winter 2015 Anime Preview Guide thread. Your posts are already taking on a combative edge. Please consider your impact upon the enjoyment of other people participating in this thread (including the reviewers) when you post.

Ok, I just thought it was funny, that's all. Tomayto, tomahto, one's a vegetable, one's a fruit.

Dungeon wasn't as funny as I was hoping it to be based on the title, but then again the first eppie of The Devil is a Part-timer wasn't as funny as the rest of the show, either. It seems to have potential, though.

But it wasn't funny; I don't think that you realize just how thin the ice is that that you're standing on. |

I get the feeling that people who didn't like the foodgasms (that are key of the Shokugeki no Soma manga) will stay that way due to the extreme attention they are paying to it.
Those scenes are mostly for fun and visual "proof" that X cooking was well-done, which happens a lot in the series. Unless people learn to enjoy their fun, this anime will be a nightmare to them. |

That they were orgasms didn't bother me; it just wasn't funny, save the one time. Someone eating food and then going OOHHHH GOOODDDDDDDDDDD for 2 minutes is barely funny once and it definitely isn't funny a hundred times or however many times they lean on it for comedy in the manga.

If you think like that, you're going to miss the [manga spoilers]:spoiler["girl dressed like godzilla fighting Ultraman"-gasm.] They get pretty imaginative later on. added spoiler tags. -Galap |

I think that by now Toei Animation should give a release date for the new Digimon series since it is April and a lot of people have been anticipating it.
