It feels like each next season is more and more full of mediocre titles so I switched to reading japanese comic books instead.
That said I recently gave Sidonia no Kishi a try, since it's an adaptation of Tsutomu Nihei's work.
CG people are a bit painful to look at though.
I have some other stuff I watch that's minor, but those are the big ones I've been following lately.
Also watched the movie paprika recently. I really enjoyed it - and an amazing (if a bit suitably crazy) soundtrack.

I complain about moeshit but I did get a little thing of mai waifu the other day, lol
I apologise for being the biggest weeaboo.
Whoaaaa, how did I miss it? When did it come out?
I'd say that environments lost a lot of charm compared to the original, they don't feel very Nihei-esque. Some stuff turned out pretty cool though.
Started to watch Kara no kyoukai movie series (7 or 8 movies iirc)...this is REALLY cool stuff.
On watching Arslan senki, it just started, iirc, 2 or so eps are out. Seems to be rather interesting and a setting i don't really see in animes a lot either...
jojo until the end of time.
Haven't really looked at much else this season. Might start watching Sidonia, the first season was surprisingly decent for a CG anime. Probably the only good adaptation of Nihei's work. Maybe one day I will see a proper adaptation of Blame!
I've been also watching Monster again from time to time on my second screen while working, but boy does it drag.
I should also finish the Gundam Reconguista. I think I stopped at episode 18 or so. It didn't really grab me all that much and half the time I had no idea what was going on, but I loved the 70's aesthetic it had.
Here are the ones I watch for this season:
Ace of the Diamond
Kuroko's Basketball
Gintama
Hunter X Hunter (again ^^)
The concluding episodes are one of three things that have ever moved me to tears watching.
Highly recommended for everyone.
Going to probably rewatch Ping Pong for a third time soon.
I also recommend Stein's;Gate and Psycho Pass (but not the second season). And my favorite anime of all time, The World God Only Knows, but it's a romantic comedy, so it might not be to your taste.
As for what I'm actually watching this season:
Nisekoi Second Season
Oregairu Zoku
Plastic Memories (though I'll probably stop, it's not what I wanted at all)
Kuroko No Basuke
Id recommend Ghost in the shell the movies and SAC/2nd Gig
also I am hanging out for the next season of Attack on Titan getting so excited for next year!
Ping Pong :thumbup: Never thought that a show about ping pong could be so good.
The art style was really damn cool.

I know this is last season but if you haven't watch it yet.
WATCH SHIROBAKO
It is so good, it's an anime about making anime ! But it's really based on how it works, every step of it, every part of it (sound, CG, chara design, production, voice actor, etc) It show how an original anime work and how an adaptation from a manga or a novel works, how they pick voice actors, what they do when they can't meet deadline etc. In my opinion, they're also great advice for junior in there ( even if it's not he exacts same domain, it's similar and their life experience fits really well) It's a really fun anime, there's no drama, the character are great (It's not boring moe even if they look like it), no hero syndrome, there's a lot of Easter egg. I've watch a TONES of anime in the past 15years and this is in my top 10 ever and sadly people who are casual anime's watcher don't know about it. Even if there's no action fighting I NEVER was bored by shirobako and the last episode is one of the best last episode I saw in my life.
I'm looking for a really creepy horror anime that isn't too in your face. A slow burner, so to speak. Preferably nothing with much action, or magic. And not about murder.
"Another" was good until the last few episodes, as reference.
Anything that fits the bill?
As for me, right now I'm watching "Re-Kan!", and a few short ones ("Comical Psychosomatic Medicine", "Yamishibai", and "Onee-chan ga kita".)
I'd suggest to take a look at Shinsekai yori or in english "From the new world".
It has a lot going on to it....not to spoil too much....but it does give a bit of Another vibe to it. But it's much more complex story, and i'd say it has one of the more unique settings, but not in classical anime way.
I would say though, at times, it even more creepy than Another, and overall story is to me for sure much better, and i did like another.
Here's a trailer, see if you like it:

hibike euphonium
Fate Stay Night UBW
Plus Shirobako
you could give Ghost Hound a try. (not to be confused with ghost hunt)
It's certainly slow paced and has a more creepy vibe rather than a gore fest; there is no 'monster jumping in yo face' stuff. I recall that the series has remarkable ambient sounds that make some scenes quite unsettling.

yeah that was so awesome couldn't believe that one guy animated that whole thing
haha you guys gotta watch Shirobako , it is really relevant to what you are working in industry.
I sort of agree with Miyazaki. If you watch old anime like Berserk or Evangelion or Legend of the Galatic Heroes, it has some sort of realism. Now new anime has sort of been destroyed by Moe.
Even worse, its infected good manga like Berserk. The guy stop producing manga and now just watches Idol master.
The same can almost be said for the videogame and film industry, if not for the independents and outliers that just do what they damn well please.
I'm not talking about cultural differences either, it was the fact that anything seemed possible, anything could be the subject of a series., and anything could be made into a special attack. Also anyone could be a hero, Disney fellows are too swoon worthy and ideal,
think about it, anime heroes have been dinosaurs, overweight salesmen, blobs, robots, and even swoon worthy fellows.
It just seems as those fan types I mentioned before in another thread ruin everything with the fanservice, escape, the dolls, and the mountain dew.
I can agree that fan service can kill anime for me. I've had a few series I have had to drop off hulu because all the series was about was showing panty shots and such. No thanks.
Monster
I don't watch much anime but I just finished up Baccano! and it was pretty good in my opinion. It's really short and the violence is disgusting sometimes, but the storytelling was interesting since there is no main character and it is designed to not make sense unless you watch it twice apparently. It also has a pretty smooth intro!

I watched steins gate recently and I was blown away by how thoughtful and melancholic it was. Because when I started it, it played out like a Harem anime for the first few episodes.
When I finished, I looked back at the show and I felt like the writer had been trying to appeal to as broad as an 'anime' audience as possible before bringing them on this deep trip. And to be honest, if you told me it was largely a romantic story, I probably would have passed on it myself.
I would be a much bigger fan of anime if the vast vast majority of it wasn't so damn creepy. I feel bad saying it. But in the end, I only ever recommend 3 or 4 shows to people who ask me what to watch. (FMA:B. GitS & Attack on Titan - Surprise!)
Currently watching: Steven Universe. The cure for fan-service anime.
