It's not uncommon for animes to be picked up after it was released. While I wouldn't be surprised if some streams would avoid getting it, CR already said they try to localize everything. And they already brought worse things before.

I saw the first chapter, yup! Cr took it... And the animation was better than expected, plus they made a great ending song and visuals too.
They didn't show one part that was very bold in the manga but I think that's okay.

Just watched Zombieland. That was one BRUTAL DISS of the Death Metal scene! I'm guessing the creators of the anime have a very poor opinion of the genre.

Death Metal fans are depicted as a bunch of cretins who can't tell a musical performance by a real band from the random antics of a group of mindless zombies -- and by random antics I mean grotesque screaming, spastic shaking, vandalizing the venue and biting the audience. They loved it! In fact, everyone thought it was, like, best concert ever.

That was some vicious disrespect...

(Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Actually, I give the authors two thumbs up for a job well done. They sure understand Death Metal. ^_~ )

I'm pretty sure the entire point of this show is to parody and mock the entire idol and pop culture scene. The running joke and social commentary for this show is basically the music and idol industry is such a vapid wasteland of manufactured pseudo "talent" that even a bunch of mindless corpses can entertain these drooling imbeciles. I don't know if they are going to stick to the death metal scene, but I get a feeling they are going to end up targeting other genres as well. I guess only time will tell.

The animation was freakishly good for UzaMaid! I mean I honestly don't understand how a low profile little yuri comedy ended up with the sort of animation budget and talent behind it to pull off something like that first episode. The frame rate was a little bit on the low side, but the motion was beautifully dynamic and fluid.

I wish most anime were even half as well animated as this silly little comedy about a psycho lolicon maid.

Cygames is producing the show. They're one of the companies actually making profit with the idol genre since they develop the im@s game. I strongly doubt there's any intended social commentary. It's a comedy, that's all. Seeing anything else is reading too much into it.

Also, apparently from episode 2 towards they'll be proper idols, singing and dancing.

Okay, next season in yuri:

Yagate Kimi ni Naru / Bloom Into You: You should know what this is. I am a bit worried that they'll have to make up an ending, though

Release the Spyce: Spy action series from Namori and the guy responsible for YuYuYu! The question isn't if it'll have yuri, but if it'll have a decent plot

Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!: Oh hey, onee-loli anime is a thing now. I found the manga to be one of the more off-putting examples, though

Akanesasu Shoujo / The Girl in Twilight: Has an all-female cast. Also features high production values, an interesting concept, and a pretty good writer. One of the more promising shows of the season, in general

Anima Yell: It's a CGDCT series. Animation looks a bit iffy, though

Senran Kagura Shinovi Master: Senran Kagura has always had yuri elements, if just for titillation. This show looks pretty unlikely to be good, though

Sora to Umi no Aida: We skipped over "cute girls fishing" and went straight to "cute girls fishing in space". So, same odds of yuri as any CGDCT shows, but the odds of it being worth watching are less clear

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san / Ms. vampire who lives in my neighborhood: Yuri crush

Double Decker: Maybe? It's a Tiger & Bunny spinoff, but has a couple female pairs featured as well as the main male one. Also, having seen the first episode, it's quite good

Operation Han-Gyaku-Sei Million Arthur: I really have no idea what the show is going to be like, but I do note that all of the characters have female partners, so it won't be a huge surprise if there's a yuri relationship or two

Zombieland Saga: Mostly female cast, with the one guy appearing to be some sort of weirdo authority figure. Of course, if it's not significantly better than it's PV, even going full yuri won't make worth watching

Other stuff: Some big name sequels in the form of Index, Jojo, and SAO, and I hear good things about the slime show

Seems double decker does have one, going by the ED.
Unexpected, but we'll see how close to the show the ED is/

Dirty pairs is pretty good anime, wish it get reboot.

Dirty Pair Flash was the reboot.

Comedies are the genre most apt to poke fun of the foibles of societal norms. That's pretty much the bread and butter of any parody. Look at Dead Pool for instance. It was made by a studio that banks off of super hero movies yet the entire premise of Dead Pool is to poke fun of the super hero genre.

Well, I really doubt it's trying to mock the genre and I didn't see anything like that in the first episode, but who knows how it'll go.
Just remember they're idols trying to help a city. There's lots of projects like this in Japan, some trying to help cities that were struck by natural disasters. And I doubt the show would mock people who are trying to help others. That doesn't fly well in Japan.

Wuoooh Akanesasu its pretty good, indeed!

You can lovingly make fun of something. Many times there are parodies that are also love letters to whatever it is they are spoofing. Earlier I pointed to Dead Pool as an example of a movie that is poking fun of the very thing the studio that makes it is banking off of which is super hero franchises, but it is also a good example of a parody that was written from a place of endearment. The people who wrote Dead Pool obviously love super hero comics despite the fact they are poking fun of them.

I suppose ultimately humor is subjective and everyone is free to interpret it however they so choose. I'm guessing you also felt that Majo Shoujo Ore was a serious drama and romance story rather than a parody? Anyway, to each their own.

I will continue to watch the death metal zombie idols with the mad scientist manager as a comedy. If you wish to interpret it as a serious idol anime then by all means do so.

Is it just me or is there some sort of real fad in Japan right now for incest stories? I'm by no means prude and believe people are free to be into what ever gets them off, but it seems like such a bizarrely niche fetish to have such a huge pop culture impact. It would be a bit like if all of a sudden there were two or three anime a season about necrophilia or bestiality.

I can't believe nobody is talking about Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, most relevant show this season.

First, you need to keep in mind that Japan's low birth rate means they have a lot of only children that don't really understand what the relationship between siblings is normally like

I think it's prevalence in light novels (and it really is mostly just in LNs) is mainly down to the success of OreImo and more recently Eromanga-sensei

I can't believe nobody is talking about Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san, most relevant show this season.

It was surprisingly decent for such a close adaptation of a 4koma. I hope it starts trying to make things flow better in the future, though

Anime is niche.
These incest anime never break out of their otaku bubble.
In fact, because it is niche, some studios try to get that public that's not being targeted enough yet. Two shows with incest in the same season would probably make only one of them sell (if any), but since only one is the main point, it makes sense.
Like with lolicon, which isn't well received in Japanese culture. And yet lolicon content sells.

Conception, the trashy harem isekia of the season. MC impregnates his cousin in the first ep.

The anime with the worse trailed ended up being a jewel

It's amazing. I didn't expect anything from it, but it's one of my favorites already.

I have mixed feelings about Zombie Land Saga. I like a lot of it, but my god I want to punch Koutarou

In other news, Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-san started putting more effort into the script than just transcribing the manga, and is now quite good! And is really playing up the yuri

Ok, I'm mad at the new Senran anime. This is unwatchable, not even going to give it the benefit of the doubt until ep 3. No civilian moved. EVER!
It's like someone drew the key frames and then they let some idiot with 0 knowledge animate the rest.

And the tweening, oh my fuck, it makes the DBS dragon look somewhat passable. ok it's not THAT bad
And don't give me the they are in a shinovi barrier duh because they were not!

Even the fan service was bad. How do they mess up the thing that boost the sales like that?!

The only thing that kept me from rage quitting besides the 2x speed button was the little Homura jokes...

And ugh!!! Asuka is second fiddle to Yumi now. That makes Homora a supporting character to the supporting character :/

Rip in pepperoni SK, hope your sister series VD has better luck in the future.
