Got Funi's Free! and more Naruto Shippuden. I love the colored Free! disc arts.

I'll watch Code Geass properly one day, but since I'm not a big fan of stories which rely primarily on pulling out crazy twist out of crazy twist, it's not a high priority for me.

The best part about Code Geass is that it actually starts off as a legitimately good mecha anime.
Unlike Cross Ange, which kept throwing craziness at the wall from start to finish, Code Geass built things up before promptly smashing everything to pieces.
And it was glorious.
The series does rely a lot on that, no doubt, but not exclusively. If you can embrace or at least accept the crazy twists as part of the story, then there are still various interesting aspects on the character and thematic level.
Even long after the show "smashes everything to pieces" it's actually still possible to tie stuff together, although mainly in retrospect.
Which is why none of the derivatives have been able to replicate Code Geass. They're just being randomly shocking or whatever.

a major character getting the chop in opening was pretty cool, I was hoping Sakuragi wasn't going to be murdered but it's left me intrigued to see where the show will go from here.

For those who are curious, in a recent tweet, the manga author of Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu says that the current anime will cover up to volume 5 of the manga, so about the time the flashback ends and the manga goes back to the "present day" of its opening. She encourages people to buy the BD/DVDs to see the rest of the manga adapted into anime.
I do hope the rest of it gets adapted but that's a total bullet dodged for Genroku Rakugo.

I want it to do good so the other manga could get animated. That has to be how Super Lovers got animated, cause of Hakkenden.

Well I hope we get everything adapted eventually. Otherwise the opening episode will be rather unfitting for the anime on its own.

Is there something wrong with the source material past volume 5? Your wording here seems to be implying something beyond it being a convenient stopping point.

Well the opening episode was a recut OVA from earlier.
More like it would have the same effect as the snapback in Erased, immediately undoing the investment the audience has in the flashback and then devoting half the series to a barely remembered plotline. I think both stories lose out when you do something like this.

I think Rakugo is more like Berserk then Erased, one extremely long flashback after a short introductory arc that will lead back into itself.
Erased is an introductory arc, a medium length flashback, back to the first setting, then back again.

Speaking of Code Geass, one of my friends said she couldn't get into it. I don't understand... How can you not get into the JIBUN WO!?!?

I don't think that's the issue with Erased. The last two episodes were simply badly written and directed. Add episode 1 in some regards, as the thriller elements fell flat from the beginning.
Also at least one of the characters in Rakugo's flashback is (very likely) going to retain a major role even in the current timeline, just that we then know so much more about him.

Yep. Code Geass devolved into nonsense, but it was great up until that point. Cross Ange was hot, insane garbage from beginning to end.
I'd argue Code Geass had a good ending which made plenty of sense. Not even joking.
I guess because she might prefer far more sophisticated and high-brow anime? That would be a valid reason.

I had legit tears in my eyes when Megumin floated by and said "Darkness, what's wrong with you?"
This is Anime of the Season if we disqualify Heavy Object for being second cour and having an unfair advantage

Never watched a single episode but the art style put me off.
Maybe one of these days I'll watch either Code Geass or Gurren Lagann when I'm in a mecha mode.
It's the Sunrise curse!
Which is why you should all fear Gundam IBO getting a second season.
Or hopefully that will just turn out to be some baseless superstition.

dead in the current timeline?
Yo. The voice acting is a SIGNIFICANT contributor to why I like Konosuba so much. MC's voice in particular is just goddamn perfect. About to watch this episode. Excitement abounds!
Code Geass has aged better.

Man...down the memory lane for older people who watch anime here. You don't see them too often now. Remind my younger year.

Don't know if anyone here care but just found a video of Nadia The Secret Blue Water with two version English dub. Man...it's weird of hearing the voice not coming from ADV. In the way, the Streamline dub sound a bit better for some of the characters in the show.

Yeah, that was alright, maybe a little too much kitty moe and unneeded thigh shot/ focus of twin tail 4th grader, thankfully, it ended soon enough.
Well, she did finally learn at least one good spell with revive. Useless goddess redeemed.

Praised be this show for not taking itself seriously. It still isn't anything to write home about, but it's definitely a good comedy.

It's nice that the show appears to be back in full swing after a comparatively dull previous season. Things are quickly scaling out of control, which is always a good thing when it comes to this show.
