Prince of stride is the first thing that got my attention followed by Grimgar. I'm not sure what else I'll be watching though.

Bubuki Buranki is a close runner up for me so far ...

I like the direction that it's going in that Vivster mentioned. Just what I'd expect from the studio behind Arpeggio of Blue Steel and The Heroic Legend of Arslan ...

After watching episode 2s. Haruchika and Dimension W has changed my views on what I had in Episode 1. Haruchika made me teared up! And the Fighting scenes in Dimension W was just SPLENDID!!!!!!! The sound effects were very good!

Really? Did you watch episode 2? That short hair girl in the military SLAYED those knights!

Yeah. I hated that. That kind of complete swerve from reality to show how awesome and cool the main characters are ruins any sense of tension or realism. A young woman from modern Japan easily beating a group of men who have probably been practicing sword combat all their life? And all she has is a bayonett? That was stupid. And the way she killed all those guards while they just stood there doing nothing? That seemed close to murder and made me dislike the main characters more. They seemed more like savages than the savages. If that had happened in a modern setting, the officer in charge would have been court marshaled, but the premise here seems to be that it doesn't really matter what they do to these people because they don't have the technology to strike back. And why did no one throw a spear, anyway?

They're making out the SDF to be superhumans who are wonderful people and are always righteous--even though a lot of the stuff they're doing is cold war era CIA/KGB level that we look back on now as being wrong. The anime actually tones down the manga in that regard.

There are other things I don't like, as well, all of which are a shame because I love the ideal itself and loved the initial chapters. Now it's just heroic, unstoppable SDF/main character masterbation. The only really interesting character is the princess because she has real conflict and she's shown actual character development. On the other side, it's basically, "LOL we've got guns, we'll win. Might makes Right."

Yeah, i totally get what you mean. Like they REALLY do seem OP in every way, which people might find it boring and like what you said that "lack of development". But for me on all the things that you said, is what I really like about this animes (our views on it are basically opposite). Like most of the times i kinda like how the main character does start quite OP (Maybe because I've seen lots of animes were they're not). And i think Ep 2 is hinting about their "Weakness". Not sure what it is, but that Bunny Slut Slave is op on it.

Pocky Lover Boy!

Now I know why I like Buranki so much. The director was deeply involved in a lot of Gainax/Trigger animes. So my intuition and my constant flashbacks to Kill La Kill were right all along.

Also the OP is made by Imaishi, aka the GODMASTER of animes.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yeah...... I only watched it because of the characters and the unintended Yaoi Trap Shit.
