Good ol'-ed model. Got mine since launch and it still works like a charm. I should consider doing the same actually. The size would be just right.
Yeah, I think it did. It was more of a mystery in the novel, too: you got descriptions for all suspects as well as some other details, and really were expected to try and figure out the culprit. Also,
novel Araragi actually went out of his way to hide the fact that Tetsujō was their teacher
Not that it would have been a great idea to spend a third episode on this story in animated form... While I do think Shaft could have done a considerably better job (especially with the resolution), it was a tricky one to adapt.
Then again, since Tetsujō being the teacher was supposed to be a twist, you couldn't quite show them anyway.
(still would have liked Tetsujō to get an actual design for the very end)

The Asterix War ep.1
Otaku shit aside, this was a pretty interesting episode. I mean, these battle anime's aren't my cup of tea, but this looks like it could be decent. Trying to match up Julis'VA to other roles now, sounds very familiar, lol.

I feel like my general apathy for sports shonen has made me miss out on a lot of great shows over the past 1-2 years

It's been a good time for sports shows, especially last year.

Still waiting for the next Adachi adaptation. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Utawarerumono - Itsuwari no Kamen 01
It ought to be illegal for someone to be that fucking adorable and a pervert. Anywho, go start to the sequel so far looking forward to more.
Yup. It does everything well. The animation during the practice match was great.
This one's clearly the most important.

First Donald Duck, now Lupin? Where have all the good cartoon heroes gone?
Overall its a good series.
But it has 2 big problems.
The first is that some scenes that should have lots of impact just feel stale or lacking. This mostly comes into play when characters die, but its not limited to that.
The second is that is a lot of fluff. 2 big filler episodes and 1 arc that is worthless.
These aren't good.
And of the 3 other arcs, i only found 2 to be great and the other one having one lacking problem. The first and last arcs are good. The Helmajistan arc had a lot of things going for it, but the fact that the whole
angle of Sousuke only ever becomes "yeah i have to fight against my friend". Other than a few character reactions, we don't see any other affects of this. Its such a waste.

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry 1
Yesss. And here we go. I like how they foreshadow all the expected characters that is going to show up in later episodes.
And that OP or ED was actually really good, did not expect that.
Looks like I will be one of the people watching both Asterisk and Cavalry this season? Fun time are to be had.

Haikyuu!! starting of so Damn strong. So fucking pumped for having that back in my life.
Also watched the first episode of Shirobako and Gatchaman Crowds, today.
The former seems potentially interesting, but did not immediately grab me. But the potential manga I am guaranteed to keep watching.
The latter is... Very very energetic. And colorful. And that OP is fucking great. Damn so great.

Noragami S1 1-12 (END)
I went and checked this out based on the hype from here and I'm really glad I did. I had a really good time with it. Tonally, the show is very similar to a ton of other recent supernatural series (both Blue Exorcist and Soul Eater came to my mind), but the show really works because of its cast.
The main 3 and the relationships between them are super interesting and really charming. The Yuki and Yato plot in particular I think was a really interesting exploration of the whole god/regalia idea the show had. It was super interesting to watch them grow and develop together and I think the conclusion to that particular plot line was a pretty good emotional beat. Hiyori is the least interesting and most standard member of the main cast to me, but even she brings a ton of charm to the show. Her outsider perspective I think really works in scenes like where they first meet Tenjin. It helps ground the plot in the real world and make everything feel quite believable. i just wish the show didn't feel the need to force romantic subplots on her. It didn't really fit the relationships they were developing with her and just came off as a distraction.
Where the show is weakest for me is just the overall plot. There's just not that many new ideas here. Outside of the cool regalia and god concept, everything being done here was predictable and pretty standard. It didn't help that it feels like a really small part of a larger whole (which it is). A lot of that can't be helped, but I definitely felt a bit empty at the end when the only really major plot they built up that paid off was the Rabo one, and that was by far the least interesting of the main threads being spun. I'm glad it's getting a season 2, because there's too much world here to explore and I feel like season 1 just scratches the surface.
The last thing I want to talk about is how much style this show has. Visually and musically, it's just so much fun. I love the use of bright colors to make otherworldly characters pop in a sort of mundane real world. It works super well. The fights are fun, fast and frenetic and I loved watching them. The music deserves special mention as well. From the great OP to the cool in show music (featuring the always awesome Lotus Juice), the music here was a real standout and I look forward to seeing what season 2 brings on that front.
I just really enjoyed the show overall. It was definitely worth the rather short watch it was and it was one of the more fun series I've seen in a while. When BONES really gets a hit, they are one of the coolest studios around. Here's hoping the stuff they have coming up this season turns out just as well as this.

VOTOMS: The Last Red Shoulder
I've heard tons of mixed things about the various VOTOMS spinoffs/OVAs/sequels etc but this really was everything you could possibly want in a Chirico centric OVA. Felt like a Mellowlink prototype only with far more mecha and broken people forced to fight their own former comrades to seek justice in a bleak and uncaring world.
Will check out the next two sometime.

Huh, I had both Asterisk and Cavalry on my manga wishlist. Go figure.
On the bright side, if you like one, you'll probably like both!

Kizumonogatari PV
Alright that was pretty hype. The sound in the first half is killer, I love whatever technique that is, I've seen it in other trailers. Will be cool to see Oshino again and Araragi before he was used to all this. Of course the main draw will be the Kill-Shot stuff, though. The character designs do look sort of off. Kind of wish this was a tv series and not 3 movies...
Michiko and Hatchin 14
Pretty good episode, the chase scene in particular was ace. Show has grown on me but I still expected more from it. The old assassin dude was cool too.

I've watched some on my OG vita as well. Its a good experience, but the wifi in my bedroom is kinda shit, so I stick with my PC being powerlined into my router.
