You never know. I've already eaten warm-goat-cheese-and-honey toasts. It was fantastic.

Netoge: dumb harem fun, a bit whiffy on the gay panic "origin" of the protag, but mostly harmless.

Koutetsujou no Kabaneri: hits all the expected Attack on Titan/zombiecalypse beats, well executed, looks decent.

Ann Happy: more slice of moe, moderately funny.

12 sai: The first episode is almost the same with the OVA. Can't give judgement right now, but I'd say that it is worth a watch and it's a shame that no one bothered to pay attention to it.

Kyoukai no Rinne - Season 2: This carries on pretty much in the same vane as the previous series with some entertaining comedy but being light on anything of substance. The new character introduced in the first episode has a nice design but is almost annoying as his master.

Kuromukuro has been subbed now and it seems quite cool. Basic mecha anime so far but I like the fact that the machines vary in size with the larger ones being piloted by two people.

Tanaka-kun is nice. It doesn't try to oversell its jokes, which is probably the most prevalent anime comedy sin, and the laziness means everything is very chill.

Shounen Maid is kinda bad. Everyone's screeching all the time and stuff.

Tanaka-kun is being done by Non Non Biyori's director and the feel is much the same so far.

Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto Absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Really looking like my second favorite anime of the season depending on hoe Hero Academy plays out.

[up] Indeed. The absolute seriousness with which everything was treated was great.

Kiznaiver... e-e-e-eh? I have one word to describe this: crazy. Not sure I will enjoy this one, but I'll watch another couple of episodes before deciding, whether to drop this series or not.


Haifuri... Yamato, huh? That paint job somehow makes me think of "Blue Steel". And, of course, it all starts in Yokosuka. ● Moka & Akeno are sure close... ● Musashi too, huh. What next, Shinano? ● Yamato & Musashi are still sexier battleships. Those WWII destroyers out there just don't measure up. ● Considering the composition of the crew, the captain will more likely be a mother to her crew there. ● E-eh? ● Those are the biggest Chekhov's guns this season yet. And it took only like half-episode before one fired.

If you say in the 1st chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the 2nd or 3rd chapter it absolutely must go off.


Flying witch... Oh, wow, she's really flying! And definitely a witch. ● The backdrop art keeps being awesome. ● I don't think just plugging your ears is enough to negate that.

Sakamoto, desu ga — Dunno. The manga is probably funnier, because it does not have these weird dead moments in between that are clearly there just to pad out the air time. I'm almost thinking this should have been a series of shorts instead. Having said that, the gags are still hilarious.

Anne Happy seems like it will be fine, just not quite my cup of tea.

Haifuri... it is either going to be pretty decent/good or crash and burn spectacularly. I worry they won't compensate with exposition or more development of the world for the current status quo, and leave that constantly straining my suspension of disbelief.

Oh, wow, that took like three hours

Kuromukuro: I quite enjoyed the early parts that were focusing on character development. The rest was okay. Will give another episode

Kiznaiver: Holy shit, this is awesome

Haifuri: Moe, yuri overtones, loads of nautical references, and the odd bit of seriousness. It's like the Kan Colle anime we deserved!

Flying Witch: Huh, looks like they're doing two chapters per episode. Which screws up the pacing, but also means that they won't be covering anything I haven't already read, so I really don't have a reason to watch it

Meanwhile, Mayoiga got better, Gyakuten Saiban didn't, and Endride has failed to maintain my interest

Kiznaiver:...this is weird. The audiovisual presentation is stellar though (based Shirow Miwa), and this seems promising, so I'll probably stick around for a few more episodes.

[up][up]Mayoiga is still a pretty glorious mess, but I agree that Endride has yet to do anything truly attention grabbing. There is also the fact that the animation techniques and what they focus on really don't give me hope for it getting much better.

Flying Witch is extremely chill. It seems very dedicated to just straight up showin' life with a witch, man.

Good to have all these chill anime this season.

Wow, Kabaneri is so hilariously similar to Attack On Titan, you'd swear it was literally a rip off if they didn't have the same director and composer lol. That said, it does a good job of establishing the setting and I finally have another use for my Amazon Prime membership.

Coluboccoro... That tower certainly an Eldritch location. Otherwise, it's quite a cute short movie.

Nah, AOT's not a zombie show, it's a squishier-than-average mecha show.

Titans diverge from standard zombies in a large number of plot-significant ways. Kabane... don't

Kiznaiver: Most people will watch for Trigger's visuals. I'm watching for based Okada's melodrama. Always a good time. Sharing pain is interesting, and I mostly like the characters, but the editing felt off and the whole thing not quite as coherent as it probably wanted to be. Curious to see what they're actually going to do by sharing pain.

Haifuri: So this is going to be Girls und Panzer, but with ships right? Except more schooling, less tournaments. Well it may be worth checking out. Live ammunition is an odd way to conduct a training exercise, but maybe the teacher is just really hardcore-wait, are they serious? Okay, putting them on the run is not what I expected. Has my interest more than I expected.

Kiznaiver is interesting.

I think I watched some other stuff too but I forgot.
