Wall of expositions filled with literature references incoming.

First someone explains Dandy Sakano to me and then a few weeks later an episode about him appears.
Then I'm told about the term DD and now an episode appears with that term.
What's going on?

I think you'll find they're actually animated in Korea.

Noragami Aragoto Episode 11
Solid episode.
Makes some of the oddities of the previous arc easier to swallow.
Nope, nope, nope, don't trust her.

It just needed a Wooser cameo.
Love when Miss Monochrome appears in all these places.

Macross Delta is probably not actually airing in January; there's just a special preview happening on New Year's Eve.
Anyway, if you're more interested in LN garbage like Gate than the actually interesting shows starting in January such as Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, all I can say is I'm sorry.

Ushio and Tora 24
Where we learn Tora can shapeshift. Alright. Mayuko is pretty annoying in her extreme shrine maiden naivety but Tora is still great so he can bounce off her.

Shinmai Maou no Testament BURST - 10 [End]
Maria going full ham on that dude was satisfying.
The Chaos fight wasn't exciting, but I appreciate that it was a team effort instead of making the MC do all of it.
While this season brings closure to the arc, there is still a lot of stuff left open which they intentionally remind you of at the end, so maybe we'll see another season?
Overall I think this season was.. okay. More focus is put on new characters and more battles are present, which I don't think is this shows strong point, especially with fewer episodes than the first season. Can't blame them for trying though.
Ecchi moments felt less frequent, but had more turned up... let's just call it content. Much like the first season, easy and light to watch. If next season features more causal clothed Zest, sign me the fuck up.
A fitting end for this show.

Right. It did seem like with Macross it was just going to be some kind of special. Just lists I looked at were a bit inconsistent on that point. I kind of figured the show proper wouldn't air till summer or something.
And Shouwa....an actual josei. Sign me up.

Fafner Exodus Second Season Episode 24
AKIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, you were right there, so right there, whyd you have to go. My Yuki Kaji 
Now I just have Kaburagi
Now I just have KaburagiAngry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The word you are looking for is "waifu." Besides, Relaxed Muscle already figured out how the Tadokoro End goes:
"Soma ends up in that shitty village Tadakoro is from, running a no name restaurant which has dulled his skills over the years. Since Tadakoro had to drop after the second year, Soma had no choice that follow her and wasn't able to surpass his father. With 4 kids he doesn't have time to what he loved to do, which was cooking. But that doesn't matter anymore, cooking now is an obligation since he has 5 mouths to feed and after hours and hours of cooking out of obligation he doesn't really want to do it. He spends the nights masturbating furiously to Erina's appearances in Master Chef, always wondering what was that feeling inside him. That feeling of wanting to make Erina say that his food was marvelous, to make her taste over and over his skills in the kitchen, to go beyond his skills by travelling all over the world with her."
BAD END

This was certainly an interesting movie and not particularly in a good. We were watching the dub with subs on and most of the lines were desynced. The plot was ridiculous. The plane being destroyed by a meteor with an explosion shaped like a pillar of light and she being still alive and getting talked to by "not God" Floy. Jo did some incredibly stupid stuff and the dub on his friend was fantastically terrible. As if he was told to read those lines without applying any context. The whole sudden racism with Sonny was hilarious with it coming out of nowhere and she got over it pretty damn fast. The repeated and still frames were pretty bad but there were some good scenes like one of the minions being burned and the final final fight with Genma.

I always find you guys so pessimistic :/
winter 2016 looks interesting.
I mean just looking at this video I'm ready to give a try for about 80% of those anime.

Ajin and that other all CGI anime look interesting. Divine gate and Dimension W too.
And all those 2 cour anime continuing from last season.

The one thing I want from Soma S2 (that probably won't happen) is for Erina to find out the truth about Jōichirō being Soma's father.
Like, from what I've heard, it hasn't happened in the manga yet, but when it does, it's probably gonna be legendary.

Since we are almost done this season I may as well ask, which OPs did you not skip the entire season and how would you rank those? I am the kind of guy that listens to them once, and then skips right to the episode. This season however a bunch of shows had OPs that I did not skip up until now:
1 - The Perfect Insider
2 - Noragami Aragoto
3 - Gundam IBO
4 - OPM
5 - Owarimonogatari (this one changes with its arcs, so it never really gets old)
How about you?

Oh wait this season? Heavy Object is good, Owarimonogatari is good as well...
Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero ep. 1-2
Holy ecchi… Actually, this one is so over the top that it is hilarious. The OP MC is a hero in another world, steals panties and bras from student council members to toy with them and beats up the bullies, plus, has the Demon King’s daughter from the other world, that he took back with him, by his side and pretends that she is his imouto… Insane…

Heavy Object Ep 10 returns this week.
"Prepare to fire."
"Sir which weapons?"
"All of them."
Is this the first time they've continued a plotline across the arcs? So they're chasing the ones behind the Antarctic terrorist incident to the Iguazu region off the coast of Argentina.
On the a character's perspective it looks like they're focusing on the Nobility of the Kingdom and their dirty politics. If Haivia's backstory was a taste of it, Frolaytia's might be a dive into it. Even Hime couldn't escape their troublesome ways.
The amphibious assault was pretty cool and fun to watch. Had a good CoD vibe to it and not one onscreen fodder death lol.

My personnal OP that I never skipped include:
1-Haikyu S2
2-Gundam IBO
3-Noragami Aragoto
4-Seraph of the End
5- Concrete Revolutio
6-OPM
I mean those are just to good to skip! Mainly that haikyu opening because it always pump me up for the show.
I forgot to add EXODUS S2 has well! I mean all of Fafner's opening are good.
I see you're indulging on some more quality anime, kiribread...
I can only tolerate a single awful nonsensical show at once, and that's Shomin Sample right now.

What's this, an episode actually about the main character? And not only that, it looks like the show is going to go full plot next episode too!
And it was good.
Those shadow crocodiles are absolutely terifying. That one scene about Banbas mark was really creepy and tense.
Heavy Object - 10
The fanservice in this show is sometimes so random, that it's hilarious. I approve.
Otherwise another fun episode. Looks like we'll get some more information about Frolaythia this arc.
Well I never skip openings unless I really don't like them. Though I also never 'watch' them after the first time, rather I just listen to them while doing something else.
I don't know how I'd rate them, but the ones I actually remember are:
Fafner Exodus S2
OPM
Perfect Insider
Okada Gundam
Ushio to Tora

stop while your ahead.
that show is one of the worst fetish POS anime i've ever watched.
In my top five worst anime viewing experiences to date. Its BAD.
Next season looks pretty eclectic
Looks interesting
Ajin
Boku dake ga Inai Machi
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
All the originals-Sushi police, sekkou boys, active raid etc. Ill give them all a chance.
Maybes
Dimension W
Durarara- think durarara swings wildly from poor arcs to great arcs. So i hope this will be one of the good ones.
Shiryuki-dunno first season was alright. Ill give it an episode or two.
Guilty pleasure
Prince of stride
Sekkou boys
Nope
The light novel and game adapations.
Assclass-first season was fine but i have no desire to watch more

Do we have an OPOTY and EDOTY along with the AOTY and top lists at the end of the year? This would actually make me go back and listen to the shows I watched again in order to rank them. I've come to appreciate a good OP/ED thanks to the ones I mentioned on my previous post.
Noragami Aragoto 11

I consider myself to be new in this community, and by no shape or form would I want to step out of my bounds here aha. Plus I am not even sure if folks would be interested in it at all. I don't know who is usually in charge of the AOTY stuff, or how the votes are counted, but maybe he or she could add this in as well if folks agreed? Just a suggestion.
For about 0.2 seconds. The year I did it we came up with a list of things and it was completely stripped back to just TV/Web show of the year and Film/OVA of the year.
Not that it really matters. We've agreed WUG Zoo is AotY so we're not bothering with a 2015 thread.

From a visual standpoint, I really like the Dead or Alive OP over Exist, because of all the callbacks and reference it does, like entirely reanimating portions of the Shangri-La opening and all the shots of long-dead characters. The full version even has vocal references to both Shangri-La and Exist.
But yeah, Exist gets my blood pumping a lot more, especially since it was used as an insert for some great moments.

KAGEWANI Episode 10
That was awesome.
Very Jaws-esque.
I like how this show depicts these monsters as having existed for quite some time. They're not a recent evolution or anything. They've been around for at least a few generations.
Watch KAGEWANI dammit, IT'S AWESOME!
