I experienced a somewhat similar situation, only that rather than my mind being blown I just facepalmed twice. The show had already gotten crazy enough with "Ey! *ding*" and the flamenco weaponized office supplies, so guilliotine gorilla just made me whince when it appeared as the cerberus syndrome's harbinger. Then, later on I also realized that the show had no intention of handwaving all the crappy sentai stuff with "it was all a dream", but again that didn't blow my mind, and rather reminded me that we were supposed to have to bear with every single sentai show cliché being played completely straight and enjoy it. Not being a sentai fan myself, saying that such a prospect just wasn't appealing to me would be an understatement.

Totally forgot about that Tokyo Ghoul OVA. Will watch later, never read the source material for this one. Hopefully it isn't Root levels of bad.

Remember that time when they were at a school that kidnapped superpowered kids so they could get money from some goverment that was never mentioned before.
Or the time loop arc, they sure went to a lot of schools.
Or that army of gravediggers that did nothing.
Don't bother

The Tokyo Ghoul JACK manga was boring so I ain't even gonna watch the OVA.
Sums up Sunday Without God pretty succinctly, I think. Well done!

What is that last one?

Osomatsu-san looking likely to be a 10k+ sales hit at this point; there is a god.
Or the time they went to the city of the dead, were confronted with existentialist questions regarding life and (un)death, met up with the incarnation of a goddess of death, became pen pals with her and acquired THE BABY.
Or the time immortal badass Humpty Dumpty wished he could be reunited with his family before dying. Cue AI ASTIN DESU showing up, exposition aboud Humpty being her father, and him promptly dying two minutes later.
Or the time Julius Belmont said "I'll protect you" to Scar and got no objections.
Or the time AI ASTIN DESU got pushed out of a self-destructing time loop by a dead guy, and then we were treated to a shot of her in front of a grave... which panned into the guy being alive and well for some unexplained reason. And it was the end of the show.
Still, I'd rate it above Samumenco if only because the plot making no sense at all made it fun to discuss (read: diss) with others, while Samumenco was just going with the flow. I'd still say that the last couple episodes of the latter were somewhat worth it, though.
Edit:
He means Kyousougiga. It's available on CR in case you want to look it up.

Yeah it's really popular on pixiv. Sometimes that doesn't equate into sales but fujos do buy a lot.

Emma: A Victorian Romance ep. 4-6:
Well, there it is. William's dad putting the smackdown to Emma indirectly with both William and her in the room. Plus, he is trying to plan a weddign with that young blond chick.... I knew it was going to come to this eventually. Now let's see how he responds to this since dispite his feeble attempts at pleading with his father, he appeared to be rather sackless in this situation.
Mardock Scramble 1
Expected GiTs/Blade Runner. Got rape trials, all men are evil and some of the most bullshit sci-fi technology ever(Jesus its basically magic at points).
The subject matter did clash a lot with the sci-fi setting. The first 10 minutes are mega uncomfortable. The MC was different but I was so confused about how they developed her. Like she jumps from naive victim to unstoppable badass far too quickly, its really jarring.
Definitely an oddity but I'll watch the other 2.

I cannot believe how guilty in a lot of ways Anitore! EX makes me feel, why am I even watching it.
That first episode turning them into a modern anime that's popular with female audiences is pretty ironic.

She could probably convince the police to let her go with that voice of hers

Her name was scrubbed from the cast list on the official anime site and the show was removed from Amazon Video; it's kind of shitty to try to pretend she never existed.
Of course; there's official merchandise based on the fake-out "ikemen" designs from the first episode.

Don't.
Quoting this so Moribito can get more exposure.
No need to cut down "the crap" but Moribito should be up there.
That first episode was such an inspired decision.
So it was finally noticed. Wondered how long it would take if I just did it and never mentioned it.
The lesson here of course is that one doesn't know what will be good before the season starts. Interesting to see how many shows I was criticised for not including in the original OP have ended up being panned.
Most people seemed quite down on it I thought.

You found out why he think that way later on the series. Kinda make sense of why he say that. Keep on watching.

Perfect Blue - 3mins in
And some kind of idol performance. Dropped. Fuck, this trash is everywhere nowadays.

Perfect Blue came out in 1997 though?
Also it's kind of about the seedy side of that entertainment industry...

Perfect Blue is a phenomenal film, I've said it a million times before and I'll say it a million times again. Not afraid to push the boundaries and evoke reactions and conjure up emotions most films especially of the animated variety dare not go. Its not just a fantastic anime film, its a phenomenal film, end of. The type that would be critically lauded as a landmark in cinema, and for the most part its treated as such within the anime circle and for good reason.

I'll agree with that in general. But I've been posting on AnimeGAF for 2 years now so I expected a bit more ;_;
Also "Fuck, this trash is everywhere nowadays." when it's from 1997...
WUG Zoo is a good short show. Take like 3 minutes to watch the spooky episode for Halloween and educate yourself.
also has a good bgbw image pack.

Heavy Object ep.2-3
Ok, well thise episodes were pretty cool to watch. The back and forth convo. between the two had good comic relief and the action, although completely over the top, was pretty well executed. Good stuff.

My understanding is that Part II flowed into Part III in the manga that way which was not true of Part III into Part IV. I don't think that means anything. If it does, it might have to do with the fact we aren't sure yet if DP is returning for Part IV.
Wholesale skipping parts of highly popular and influential manga adaptations is not something that is common in the anime industry. There are a lot of people who are fans of Part IV - I don't understand how you've come to the conclusion there wouldn't be a maelstrom of blowback to pay if they skipped Part IV - especially after they went to the effort to adapt Parts 1 & 2 (that both sold VERY well) which are known as the least popular parts of the franchise.

Haikyuu!! S1 + S2 01-04
Caught up with this anime. This is really good. It is always a joy to watch the matches. The animation is so fluid and well done making the matches really intense.
The cast of characters have really good chemistry resulting in character development and humorous moments.
Overall, I prefer Yowamushi Pedal because is more hot-blooded and it has Midousuji. Haikyuu lacks dat evil and despicable character so far.
