The second anime season is probably primarily meant to promote the live-action movie.

Asterisk 06
Jesus Claudia. What is up with that swim suit. No fucks given for being on school grounds or anything lmfao. This episode was essentially a harem episode, in which we see the various ways all the girls love the almighty Ayato.
Cavalry 06
LOL AT THE GIRL ALMOST DROWNING. Also this man is basically feeling the girl's legs up with the pretext that he is "fixing her swordsmanship pose". Guy's a legend.
That aside seeing how Ikki used his head
instead of causing a scene was smart. The guy was strong too, so things wouldn't have ended well. This show has some hilarious bits, but the more serious parts are actually quite well done. I enjoyed this episode.
Cavalry wins this week.

That's like asking how SAO is so popular.
Anyway since Terra Formars is getting a new season the inevitable Tokyo Ghoul Re will mostly likely be announced eventually. Young Jump will most likely want to make big bucks with the property.
Oh welI I don't care because the manga has been really fantastic and hitting its stride so far with its mindfuckery.

Woah what is this. A man and a woman in the same bath and there is no nosebleeds, shapoo bottles thrown to the guy's head, or blushies at first sight?
Tiny Kuon is cutest thing ever. Seeing Kuon interact with her "mothers" was pretty great with some funny moments, and what seemed like a hint towards something bigger in terms of scope. Also interesting how Haku

They share a drink instead. The anime world has gone mad.
early in the episode says the sake's flavour seems familiar... hmmmmm.

S2 of terraforms will be great see akari alex k stewart and marcos are more epic (more KENN!) and my favorite arc is in this.
Human v human is best part of the series.
I hope it gets an s3 or s4.

Owarimonogatari 06
I was looking forward to this episode after the amazing episode with the terrific VA work that we got last week. It was perfect. The theory they cooked up was so twisted, but it made sense. The ending too put a smile on my face. I do wonder,

what was on those sheets of paper for him to smile?
Edit:
Looking closely at the shot from the distance after he opens the envelope, you see that the letter wasn't blank. There were 3 sheets of paper. Could it have to do with the 3 questions that she asked him through that other letter when they were little kids?

Calvary ep.6
Well, what h as Ikki got himself into now. It's obvious that girl is part of that crew. Should be an interesting episode next week. I'd love for more detail on that promise to Stella.. I must say, watching Stella and Ikki's sister be all jealous in the background whike he touched that girl was hilarious.
Asterix ep.6
Pretty good episode here as well. The other school just can't stop their games and this time it's even more serious. I'm interested to see how this one plays out next week, but it's about time they lay out some real hurt on them. Especially now that they got a middle school girl involved as well as a political figure...
Thus weeks match-up:
Both MC'S just can't say no and both get close to yet another girl, lol. The stories are both moving forward and ended on cliffhangers, so it's a wash this week, they tied.

Just finished up Golden Time and overall still quite like it. I found the first half of the series to be much stronger, the second half with phantom Banri was a bit silly, but not enough to ruin the show for me.
Also, having a hell of a time trying to get the video player on Funimation to work properly. The site is totally white listed for me with script blockers turned off and still it just hangs while trying to load anything. T_T

Golden Time should've been the prequel to Ghostbusters.

Lol good one. I liked the show simply because college settings are so rare in anime.
It was funny, I was working full-time when it started airing and had applied for college for January. Since the show was a 2-cour that means that I watched it as an outsider, and then as someone in college too. As someone from the outside I couldn't wait to start school. January came and those thoughts were gone pretty quick lol.

As arcs finish, I have just realized that we are halfway through the season pretty much. How high/low do you rank your shows so far?
Ah, thanks.
Here's my most recent watch:
Himouto! Umaru-chan Episode 3 Umaru and Her Student
Don't know what to think of this girl yet.
Kagewani exceeding expectations!
Just think of her as what she is: Japanese Garfield.
She hasn't expressed a disinterest in Mondays yet. Maybe it's coming up.

Best are Owarimonogatari, Osumatsu-san and One Punch Man. Okada Gundam is pretty good too. I'm most disappointed with Lupin 2015 and Noragami.

I have just finished updating my MAL rankings. This where my shows stand atm in order:
- Owarimonogatari - 10
- Haikyuu!! Second Season - 9
- One Punch Man - 9
- Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - 9
- Noragami Aragoto - 8
- Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen - 8
- Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider - 7
- Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry - 7
- Gakusen Toshi Asterisk - 7
- Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru - 6
Sakurako has been disappointing me quite a bit. Insider has lost steam but I could still see it going up. Haikyuu may or may not become a 10. Still too soon to say, this one is a 2-cour.
Impressions lately have gotten me curious about this show.
Noragami really? I don't think it's treading new grounds or anything, but I personally think it has been as good as season 1 was.

Still remains great. Oikawa continues to be a shit, everyone trying to get better was really nice, Yachi's huge smile made my heart stop omg, Chibisuke and Kageyama being so cold is ugh tho, they need to patch it up.
Also, I will be calling Hinata Chibisuke from this point forward.

Yeah I dunno. Bishamon sucks and the entire arc just felt goofy. Like Bishamon held a gigantic grudge at Yato for years for something he didn't do but the Doctor does it and she forgives him immediately like what?
I think I liked Noragami better when it was Yato's weekly goofy thing
I moooostly feel the same (especially re: the bolded), but I also still really enjoy the moment-to-moment interactions of all the characters, so I just kinda deal with it, y'know.
Is Noragami even about that as S1?
There's some usual shounen gag thing as always but I recall same amount of bullshit angst at both from same point.

Just like one of my doujins
I must have missed that series. That was a best a side thing.
I liked this one. Though I felt it lacked an epilogue where Bishamon and Yato buried the hatchet. Though I guess thats implicit from the scene there.
She didn't so much forgive the doctor, just that she accepted the blame for what the doctor did. So her not just killing him made sense to me.

Dance With Devils 5 - This was actually a fairly good episode. MC asserted herself way more than usual, and Mage's thugdere/ore-sama antics are hilarious and kind of adorable. If Ritsuka wasn't dumb as a sack of bricks this...well it still wouldn't be a good show, but it would at least be a half-decent one maybe? As-is the show is still plenty hilarious though. Mage's musical segment this episode was especially funny with Ritsuka just staring at him the whole time like "the hell is this guy's deal?".

One Piece 717
People refer to the Dressrosa Arc as a return to form for One Piece after some middling to bad arcs.
And to be honest, the more I think about it, the less I find myself agreeing with that.
Putting aside the pacing of the arc, what are supposed to be big emotional moments fall flat.
And I can think of no better example of this, than Rebecca.
Rebecca sucks as a character.

lol people do that? Dressrosa is a poorly paced mess with too many characters and perspectives.

Member
That's what I've heard.
And I think the main reason why people say that, is the main villain of the Dressrosa arc is amazing. He's fucking great.
He is Frieza-esque at times.

It's pretty much dumb horror shlock that is almost always just well done fights with interesting powers on display. It's easy to see how people can like it if they don't think much about it
and ignore the hilariously blatant racism

if you cant get past that shit, especially the loli stuff I don't blame you
Nise is the most fanservice heavy and it's also the worst arc, although not really because of fanservice only
The series does have a lot of great moments and some of the arcs are pretty amazing
Basileus777

It's not the most consistent series, but some of the arcs are quite good.
I don't even hate fanservice that much. Shows like Shokugeki no Souma have a lot of it and it doesn't really bother me. It's mostly loli and incest stuff that I can't deal with. How much of that is in there?
MetroidPrimeRib

An unfortunate amount. Again, mostly Nise! Edit: Well that isn't really true, incest is mostly in Nise but the loli shit is unfortunately in a lot of the arcs.
It's really the one thing that I immensely dislike about the series.

Utawarerumono ep.6
What a carefree life Haku lives, lol. That sake must have been some good stuff.. It was good to see some Kouen's backstory, but what did that episode mean in the long run? I understand they are saying she is an adult now, but was that an authorization for her to share chasing Haku romantically as well?

Im the same, I watched bits and pieces and just can't understand its appeal. Throw in its a harem show from what I know(I know there is a bit more to it) and its made by Shaft.
Now I like Shaft in small doses. But the thought of watching seven or eight series of them is headache inducing for me.
I'm gonna try to not sound like a critic of anime but Monogatari in general is amazing because of SHAFT's directing with camera angles and its heavy inspiration of French new wave cinematography. The writing and banter with the characters is also a mark above most anime. Despite some fanservice it remains captivating like no other anime is. Here's a video that best explains how amazing it is with SHAFT's take on new wave in anime. Excuse the poor pronunciation of names in this video. http://youtu.be/OJvr_TWofRc

No fanservice in Monogatari, everything part is of the higher narrative.
A highly complex masterpiece of LN entertainment.
