That ship sailed a few pages ago, unfortunately.
It's been fun.
Hyakkimaru's portrayal has been kind of bugging me because it feels just close enough to being realistic that the parts that aren't bother me. Like, somehow the fingers on his prosthetic arms can be fully articulated, even though there's nothing even resembling a nervous system in there. And, like, the ending implies that he knew Dororo had been asking for his name. How? Is the aura sight precise enough to allow him to read lips?
Apparently there was an adaptation that made it a post-apocalypse scenario. Just so there's practically zero difference between an apocalyptic wasteland and Medieval Japan!
Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.
The Head of the Hydra
That makes sense.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the sugar spectrum, Wataten introduces a new girl plus two at the end… and a potential Puppy Love with Hinata? Though Hinata's probably the clueless kind when it comes to love…
Miyako's reactions are admittedly funnier when they're contrasted by those to a girl she doesn't have a creepy crush on.

Face me now, Bitch!
The Blood Will Tell game adaptation drops the pretense and makes it more obvious that Dororo is a girl. The unique ending even outright shows Dororo as an adult woman.
Watch Symphogear
Wasn't she voiced by a dude in that games dub?
Face me now, Bitch!
Yes. But her adult self is voiced by a woman in the end.
Watch Symphogear
Look, guys, I get that the cat's out of the bag about Dororo, but let's maybe not discuss the endings for a currently airing anime without spoiler tags. Just because the series came out in the 60s doesn't mean there aren't people in this thread, like me, who want to experience the series for the first time.
It's been fun.
Yeah, I'm kind of in agreement on that...
An Eternal Moment, With You
Wataten continues to be, as the second episode title so aptly puts it, "Incontestably Cute." Noa is a great addition to the cast with her good-natured smugness, and her crush on Hinata is adorable. Miyako continues to be an equally adorable pushover. The ED is also lovingly-animated and the cuteness is enough to rot my teeth.
I hope that Itou Hachi does an endcard for this like she did for Uzamaid.

Fight for something, even if its meaningless.
I'm not surprised at all that Itou did one, really. I like their works, but lately they've been pushing the boundaries of what I'll accept, which is a bit disappointing.
It's been fun.
An Eternal Moment, With You
I guess that the range of what I'm willing to accept is much, much broader than a lot of people's. That being said, Wataten seems to be aiming much more for pure cuteness than for lolicon fanservice like Uzamaid, and if it matters at all Miyako never actually makes any advances on Hana.

The Rising of the Shield Hero was okay. Watched the episode, first impression was that the buildup for the premise was a bit lacking but worth going to a second episode for.
Read the first light novel, couldn't put it down until I finished it. Did a much better job explaining details about the premise that felt odd after only watching the first episode.
I read something, which I wouldn't really call a reliable source, about the show going to 25 episodes already so I'm really curious as to what happens after the first main story ark.
well, at the very least I can say that the guys behind GAF had opened Google a couple of times... They DO refer to the only named runway correctly. note
Chances are that, like Kotobuki Squadron, the interest in planes came first and the rest followed after, I would say.
It's been fun.
Boogiepop episode 3… Now that's more like it. It's not nonsensically out-of-order like episode 2 was, but still ties neatly with episode 1. That throwback at the end was especially nice. And thank god they didn't kill off Nagi right away, she's the best part of this show. There were some delicious sakuga bits too. By the way, I wonder why a series whose title character is a Perpetual Smiler is titled "Boogiepop Doesn't Smile"…
Hmm… I still to watch several shows, but so far I actually think this is a pretty strong season, even though I didn't expect much of it at first. Of the five shows I've watched so far (The Promised Neverland, Dororo, Wataten, Boogiepop, Kaguya), four hooked me immediately and even Boogiepop is starting to grow on me.
They made a few odd adaptational choices. In the novels Boogiepop is normally expressionless with an occasional lopsided attempt at a smile, which the anime turned into their default expression (probably to make the difference from Miyashita more obvious). Similarly, Echoes originally did the Answering Echo bit much more frequently
Watched Girly Air Force episode 1-2.
...Should I be ashamed to admit that I got instantly hooked the moment it was revealed that the female MC is the Anthropomorphic Personification of a swedish fighter jet above all other things revealed so far in the series?
I'm following this show, no question.
Guilty pleasure of the season...

Me in a nutshell (Coping with Depression)
@Titan Jump Have a thread for it if you're interested:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15472789310A91323500&page=1#1
Boogiepop episode 4… Interesting introduction to the new arc. I think that Jin fell for Imaginator's temptation a bit too quickly but I like the concept.
Meanwhile, Manaria Friends… probably the yuriest show of the season so far, and it looks beautiful with a comfy slice of life vibe… but it's pretty hard to get into without prior knowledge of the context or universe, not gonna lie (being a Shingeki no Bahamut spin-off and all). Still, it's only 10 minute shorts, so it's not exactly a huge time investment. I may or may not follow, depending on how many remaining shows on my list I stick to.

I started reading the Boogiepop novels so I can safely say the arc that just started is pretty darn decent. I hope the anime does it justice.
It's interesting to have Boogiepop and Asuka on the same day, since they offer very different approaches to being a dark, edgy series. In Boogiepop everyone is depressed and miserable, and the plot revolves around everyone being depressed and miserable. Meanwhile, Asuka posits that everyday life is basically happy, but outside events can change that in horrifying and permanent ways. I think this says something about the way Japanese media has changed in the last 20 years, but I'm not sure what
So, Egao no Daika. Possibly the best episode so far? They allocated a decent amount of budget to the 2D animation for once, and the main character on the blue side is interesting
The all the more reason to not reveal it for those who know and the ignorant.
