Hng. I haven't seen anything from Lupin so far (well, maybe an episode or another when it nwas shown on TV here years and years ago). I could never get into it because there is just so much stuff. Do you think I could just start with this one? Do the various shows connect with each other or is it more or less just episodic?

Before the night's over, I'll have watched this OP more times than the OP of any of the other shows I watched this year.

If Mizushma is going to do anything it should be Shirobako Season 2. (I'd also accept Ookiku Furikabutte Season 3)

Great OP
You can start with this one without any problem. The show will only assume you're familiar with the various archetypes of the characters, but it's very accessible.Sölf;180297366 said:
If you're interested in watching Lupin, you may as well do yourself a favor and watch The Castle of Cagliostro. It's a good entry point in understanding the characters, but also an excellent film in it's own right.

I'd be okay with a Shirobako S2. I don't hold the show to such high regard as most folks here, but it was pretty good. It was not only fun to watch, but it also gave me some insight as to how the anime industry works. Which is more education than most shows give me lol.

Monogatari Second Season 05
That opening scene of Hanekawa's inner thoughts was very strong, art and story wise. I appreciate Black Hanekawa becoming a separate character with her own motivations, I don't think I've ever seen an evil split personality develop like that. This arc was good, the ending...I actually thought Araragi wouldn't show up at all this season and all the characters would solve their own problems without him there, which would have been cool by me, but whatever. Not sure about his Disgaea protagonist get up. And now Hanekawa has Guts' hair and her life doesn't suck ass, neat
Episode 6 is a recap right? No reason to watch?
Well, interesting thought, Kate had about 3 lines and she was voiced by Ami Koshimizu, who is a big name VA. Would they really get her just to say those 3 lines and nothing else?
Damn, not sure if that will beat out Gatchaman Crowds Insight or Stardust Crusaders OP2 for me but that's a damn good OP.

Just checked it out and goddamn. I never watched any of the shows/movies but this OP was dope.
Maybe I'll do that then. At least I will give the show a try. It does interest me (and with an opening this good, it can only be good, right?).
Hm, seeing Lupin, as one of the old franchises, I still have only seen 2 episodes of Slayers so far... xD

Yona is based of a manga.
Also, I have never seen a good otome adaptation; they're all terrible. I have some hopes for the Prince of Stride one in January though, because Atsuko Ishizuka is directing it.
The transitions for that are so slick.
The opening themes are going to be so fucking good this season.
Jigen's in particular was one of the neatest things I've seen in god knows how long.

Wow. Damn good opening.
He only doubts whether he can do a second series, not whether there will be one. For all you know his mother saw Prison School and scolded him for directing such a crude show thus he's cautious about continuing with it, especially if he wants to be invited for the family Christmas dinner.

The (little) reaction to the Italian broadcast I've seen on Twitter has been surprisingly tepid, actually.
FUCK.
YES.
Who is simlucasting this for us English Speakers?
Also weird that Zenigata looks all buddy buddy with them at the end. Also no sign of Rebecca.
Gintama 284-290
Catching up before the new shows are starting~
Anyway, there is nothing better than watching a bunch of Gintama episodes back-to-back. I don't know how much I laughed, I just hope I woke nobody up, lol.
Sho-chan episodes are always hilarious by default, and the body-swap arc really killed it, too.
This is what happens when half of Gintokis soul gets sucked into the asshole of a dead cat: Most likely NSFW
No, I did not make that up.
And now we're starting a Sakamoto and Mutsu centric arc about their past, featuring a guy whose face always gets covered in puke before we can actually see it.
There was also some classic Gintoki wisdom about eating watermelons inbetween.
I'll quote: "Overcoming the obstacles of these annoying seeds to eat the watermelon is the mini-drama, of sorts, that gives its flavor a sense of urgency and makes it even more delicious. Basically, when you eat a watermelon, you eat not the fruit, but the drama it creates."
And somehow this quote managed to turn the episode into a watermelon-splitting and Dragon Quest crossover, lol.
Only in Gintama. Only in Gintama.
Edit: Nearly forgot, the reaction face game is still going strong.

Great OP. Make me wish to watch the show right now.
Just got my FLAG DVD Box set today. Not in the best condition as you see on the box (look like they is quite a bit wear and tear) but the disc is fine and volume 2 to 4 is still seal. I am going to watch this show once I get through my backlog right now. Also, I will thank javac to recommend this show.

Dammit Madhouse, give us another season. Stop just giving us one season of great shows, then stopping.

The language thing is still bothering me ._. They use some lame excuses like "maybe it's because I hit my head" for the MC and they use the mage as a translator in another scene, but at the same time you get scenes like random army characters normally interacting with random fantasy world characters and they don't address the language thing at all. It's like they decided halfway through it was a bad idea and fixed/tried to fix only half of the scenes, I dunno.
Still, this is way better than the first two episodes. I kinda wish they'd develop the characters a little more though . We got to know a little about the elf's backstory when she joined, but she barely had any relevant scenes after, and I still don't know shit about the mage or Rory. All of these characters just sort of joined and welp, that's it.
Also Pina Co Lada is the best name, damn. I don't know if she'll join later on (hasn't by now), but ironically she's the one with the biggest backstory so far.

The episode could have more screen time to rest

Wow, that was a pretty sweet OP!
So in the end which one's the better mecha anime? Aldnoah Zero or Cross Ange?
Also, G-Reco is not available as a secret third answer.
This is easy. G-Reco wouldn't be a correct answer anyway.

Cross Ange.

I mean this unironically.
Cross Ange is amazing in my book, because it took the most offensive opening episode I think I've ever seen, and creates an amazing character out of it.
Ange is fucking legit awesome.
And it's nice to Kira from Gundam Seed again!

Remember how Tusk was caught in that giant explosion, and was just fine?
Remember how it was never explained how the giant male dragons mate with the tiny female?
Remember how pissed everyone was when Ange didn't leave Tusk for Hilda?

Lum has to prove she just needs courage to defeat a gang of thugs, so she's going to fight without using her powers...

...Ataru being the scumbag he is, quickly shows Lum how weak she is by beating her at arm wrestling several times and getting some money too. Then Lum seeks the help of Ryuunosuke...
...That wasn't really helpful...then Lum decides to use drugs.
I love these two.
And Lum in a china dress is good. Episode was very enjoyable.

Just three days till the finale of Blood Blockade Battlefront.
I know some people here aren't looking forward to it, but I love the show. Freaking love it.
Hope the ending is worth the wait.

Satisfying ending til I realized we'll never get a second season.
Also
HER! BUG MAID! Why can't he go around with her instead of boring-ass Nabe? Her design is so interesting and cool and she's in like 3 shots. I'll go read the damn novels right now if she has a part in them. Otherwise, I hold the author under great suspicion of having bad taste in his own creations.

Do 2 minutes of teases really bother you so much?
She has one prominent fight scene, otherwise she's basically a background character there too.
More like 4. Rest of the episode was shit anyway so I suppose that wasn't my biggest complaint.
