We're over a week into the new season, let me give you a quick rundown
Everything is bad except Shingeki no Kyojin S2 and Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism, they're only kind of bad.
You wouldn't watch SnK S2 unless you watched the first season. Anyone who bashes me for SnK probably wasn't even watching anime in 2013.
To the untrained eye, Busou Shoujo would just be another cookie-cutter mass-produced shite harem anime. It is actually self-aware and being satirical in a very subtle way.
Why is this show different? Relative to newer anime, this is very well drawn and animated, very visually pleasing, uses a decent non-saturated color palette. It also has a great soundtrack. What makes a "great soundtrack" in anime? Having any actual soundtrack at all basically, you know what makes boring drawn out scenes more bearable? If you have music playing. This is playing music at about the same frequency as FLCL.
In general it's fairly visually and audibly pleasing, as far as new anime go.
Nadesico was a subtle satire of mecha anime, and at the same time it was trying to take all the things it's making fun of, and do them in a good way, as a serious homage to it.
This anime is doing that with harem/delinquent anime I believe, but maybe I give them too much credit.

Waiting for Snk s2 to finish airing so i can watch both at once.

>>16557If I didn't see the first season back when it aired, I don't think I would watch it now. That's just me though. What SnK did good was creating a story where you didn't know what was going to happen, it was one of those series where spoilers actually matter a lot, and there's a ton of stuff you could get spoiled on.

Some people don't know this and call Nadesico a copy of other shows… Even people on /m/ believe this.

SnK sucks ass, I'm sorry you need to be so defensive justifying the time you wasted watching it and that you're stubborn enough to pick up the new season.

>>16568I ain't even saying SnK is that good, but people on imageboards only bash it because it's popular.
They don't sit around bashing anime that is far worse, they choose that because it's popular.

>>16591You were right, this is one of the best shows this season (not saying much).
"Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme" was the OP song.
