I'll do this as long as I can quit out during the episode. Would make for a fun write up to see at exactly which point people can't do a series.
So far I'll probably check out:
Active Raid
Ajin
Boku Dake ga Inai Machi
Dimension W
Durararara
Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
Macross Delta
Musaigen no Phantom World
Sekkou Boys
Holy shit, Madoka vs Eva got heated there.
Can we agree on one thing that irks me.
Eva is a deconstruction-Takes what the original Gundams started and took it to the most extreme end.
Madoka is not-Just shock factor twists. Still plays very close to Mahou shoujo conventions.
That's not a veiled "oh eva is better because..." but people that call Madoka a deconstruction haven't seen many magic girl show outside maybe Sailor Moon or something.

That's not a deconstruction. Just think about that definition. If thurning shit to 11 was deconstructing, Transformers would win that.
I only saw part 1 which was a hugely overblown action movie turned to 11, with plot irrelevancy at 11 and terrible dialogue at 11. In fact, I would have liked Transformers 1 if the actors just had not spoken a word. Instead... oh, god, that dialogue.
Both animes are simply spins on their genre. And good ones, depending on who you ask. I e.g. was not terribly fond of EVA's "everybody is a pschological trainwreck" turned to 11. Others loved it. To each his own.

Eva is a deconstruction of super robot shows, not gundam, which is more focused on the war and politics part.

"Deconstruction" is a word too readily abused.

Stop using TV tropes for your understanding of what a deconstruction is. Actually, stop using TV tropes for anything.

Like I said, Eva V.S. Madoka really feels like a pointless discussion.
It's like discussing Shakespeare plays V.S. Pixar movies.
Shakespeare's super poetic, superior, and timeless, but that doesn't mean Pixar hasn't made masterpieces!
They're both fantastic and they are both worth watching.

Tvtropes is a pretty sweet timewaster
I kind of meant more in the way of the fragile pilot that gradually breaks down and acts against the expected main character tropes to the point that the mechas become something the MC fears and avoids at all costs.

You have some serious gaps that you need to fill.
Revolutionary Girl Utena up to 37
I was eagerly anticipating it and I'm very glad that the
KASHIRA, KASHIRA crew
Akio's role in this is. Is he just some twisted version/part of the prince that has grown to detest the world because of what happened to Himemiya ?
I just looked them up. I plan to watch Utena one day.
But fuck Gundam, never again!

It's the deconstruction of AnimeGAF

My only regret of the Madoka vs Eva discussion is that no one triggered me by mention the Christian symbolism and how it relates to the ending. 
Hanasaku Iroha has been fairly amazing so far. It's been a while since I've watched a good SoL.

The manga is decent but so slow that I don't know if I will be able to watch a 20 minute long episode
Is this the rest of Owari or something different?
Wrong on both accounts since Gundam already kind of did "wow piloting these things sucks" in 0079 and EVAs are closer to Super Robots in size and power so its more playing off Mazinger Z.
Please do.
No don't

Skipping Gundam is fine, but watch Utena.
20 minutes of candy babble.

What's the name of that tune that a lot of people use in those videos where they pick anime soundbites and make it so it aligns with the song?
All I know is that there's some violin sounding instrument in it.
You're my only hope to find this guys,

Pretty charming, what's up with that shower scene though? Is this show lewd or something? Kinda dissapointing...

It looks pretty bland and could be bad. Only Stereo Dive Foundation is what makes it somehwat appealing. Voice casting is weak.

Mayo Chiki ep. 1-3
(I love this move, take that imouto...the bounce is classic)
OK, good pick with this one DTL. Really fun so far. The ecchi isn't bad at all and the story has been typical anime fare, but fun to follow with some good comedy mixed it. At least the MC isn;t fawning over imouto, so that is already a plus, but the questions remains, is the butler really the love interest here, or is that just a cover-up for ojou-sama? This could be interesting stuff...

Excellent Kamui for the CFvanguard play.
Yeah, I figured they'd adapt/show those before going into the third and last Owarimonogatari volume...
It's one story/month, from April to March of the following year. It covers the entire timeline.
Like the title says: something different. The Koyomimonogatari novel was actually released before all three Owarimonogatari books.

Hey, can someone add NeoGAF OT directly to the right of the sword under the name banner on this one? Pretty please?

Starts out nice enough and is very SHAFT with regards to the visual presentation and direction but the story collapses towards the end and nothing really comes together. Soundtrack is pretty good though.
Personally I got some enjoyment out of it but I wouldn't really recommend it.
Anime is finally saved.
I read the first chapter of Ippo in it. It's GOTY.
I also made Kiryu figure out how to stop the work computer from playing porn sounds.

Is that manga actually any good? It sounds and looks like a generic harem-ish thing.

Love Tyrant is fantastic. It's a generic harem thing, but it's the best generic harem thing.

No, it's not even really a good harem.
As much as I would like to tell you otherwise, you've got it pegged right.
But I found the manga pretty funny and genuinely hilarious in some spots so I'm glad it gets animated.

MAL description said:
Oh wonderful, another harem comedy in which a male character is sexually harassed and abused by female characters that have no sense of decency that I'm supposed to find hilarious.
Ugh.

I still wait for the day when someone talks about how the Evas in Evangelion are a pure expression of differance, since we never truly know what they represent.
it's terrible generic garbage-tier trash harem that doesn't even try to do something new
