Tiger Mask W 5
I think i spied Tetsuya Naito and BUSHI's names on that list. If he and the rest of Los ingobernables show up this will be the anime of forever.
Honster Hunter 5
I like this Genie kid. There is a lot more to him rather than being the obvious straight up assholish antagonist you'd initially think he was gonna be. Show done a great job of setting up multiple threads between different characters so far and i can't wait to see the payoffs for them.
Danganronpa Mahou Shoujo 5
This is getting really great now. Lots of scheming, backstabbing, alliances all good stuff. Really loving the slow deliberate pacing too, just hope it has more than 11-12 episodes to fully deliver on that.
The fight was pretty cool as well. Fuck they were just straight up punching and kicking each other.
Poco's Udon World 4
This might be my favorite show this season, 20 minutes just fly by watching it. Despite its fantastical set-up, its actually super relatable with what the characters talk about.

Why are you trying to step all over his jokes like that? So unnecessarily cruel!
Gundam IBO S2 episode 5
Well this was probably the most political episode so far in S2, almost entirely focused on the situation On Earth and all the factions there. While it was interesting , gundam politics are not really my favourite thing. Almost no action in this episode ,but looks like things will really start in the next one.

If Bernard doesn't make a joke about Les Miserables at the of the show, it will have failed me.
It feels like it's the perfect target for her.
Gundam Tekketsu S1 - Adults are evil
Gundam Tekketsu S2 - Adults are more eviler
The button-down, tie wearing, no nonsense adult outsider in the Earth Branch of Tekkadan turned out to be evil, I am so shocked by this turn of events that weren't immediately predictable from the first 30 seconds he was onscreen. This whole set up for the future episodes gives me a reeeeeally bad feeling in my gut, I don't see any way this won't be an annoying slog of obnoxious subterfuge for this entire arc. We may well be on the cusp of Gundam S2 Syndrome once again.

This politics episode got me all riled up...I hate that Radice guy so much! The Debris finally had true joy/pride here! I wanted to punch him all the damn episode! If he kills either Aston or Takaki...no no no no!

Haikyuu S2 | ep 2
I hate the interactions in this anime so much. Everything is so overdone it's unbearable most of the time. "I just embarrassed myself, let me get on my knees and apologize." So bad. None of it is funny either. This blonde girl embodies everything I hate about anime. She's too loud, socially inept and annoying right away. Same with Hinata when he's not serious.

Well, honor and shame are huge parts of Japanese culture.

All it took was one guy to incite war and he didn't even have to take much risk.
I'm wondering why they didn't have surveillance to find out who planted it.
March comes in like a Lion 04
I like the contrast between Kiriyama's rather spacious flat which gives this lonely feeling and the sister's tiny house oozing with heartwarming vibes. Delightful whenever a scene takes place there compared to when a scene takes place in his flat which leaves me kind of dispirited.
Hinata's little drama over her being unable to give the bento box was touching. Kiriyama's flashback when he uttered the word "Love" was creepy to the say the least.
I get the feeling I like this show more than I should, still do not like how it fills moments of clear visual communication with monologues or exposition though.

Kiryama's past intrigues me. I did enjoy the more subtle direction the show had on episode 1, but with 3 episodes of this style I think I've gotten used to it. I enjoy watching his interactions with the sisters.

Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans S2 5
I always knew someone with the name Radice was evil. Everyone is making a mess of things, and Takaki is out of his league. Rustal wants to take out McGillis, but he's probably going to make things worse than McGillis would have by himself. Lovely situation.

Bad times ahead.
I enjoy these more low key, political-intrigue episodes.

Plus Dagashi Kashi. Also, stress on "limited" for Silent Voice. Sword Art will probably be pretty wide, but I wouldn't necessarily expect Silent Voice to hit some of the wilder provinces, even those which have taken Your Name.
Lucky bastards. Haven't heard anything on the US side of things. Knowing out luck, Sentai Filmworks will get the rights to it.

Gundam IBO S2 Ep. 3-4
Awesome fights and episodes all around. New Gundam frames too, woo hoo!
I forgot but why is Mika's arm in a sling? And did something happen to Orgas right eye?
Ah damnit Crunchy is a week behind on this? Booo

Magical Girl Raising Project ep.5
Damn, that battle with
was pretty dope and it almost felt like it was scripted out of FMA with the alchemy-like magical effects. Her fighting powers look like they may be a liitle OP on the outside, but lets see how
fares against her next week.
Also, anyone else laugh at the magical girl scene? It's a boy, it's a boy, lol.... man, the death scene when LaPucelle bites the bucket will be tough..

That surprises me a little, since I would think Silent Voice has a broader general appeal than SAO. But if they're concentrating on marketing specifically to anime fans and aren't going to try to reach out to family or arthouse audiences, I suppose it makes sense that they would devote more resources to the popular otaku franchise.

He's always had the tick of closing his right eye when he's thinking deeply. Maybe it has to do his the hair bang that is on top of it as well. Mika on the other hand, lost most of his sight and movement of his right arm when outside Barbatos. He
pushed his body over the limit on the finale of S1 with the help of his Alaya-Vijnana System.

I find her irritating exacerbated by the fact that she can't do anything on her own which was like most of season 2 was about.

Ah ok.
Seems like he gets back full control over his body when he's in Barbatos because of Alaya-Vijnana. Definitely saw him use his right arm freely during his battles.
So the OP for this season is foreshadowing
Mika basically losing everything by pushing himself to his absolutely limit. Bummer 
It's a combination of being anime and being effectively arthouse due to the nature of the content that's making it hard to push, I gather. They know it'll do well with anime fans, but convincing theaters that something that's both anime and minor-interest is worth devoting a screen to is hard. Also, because it's a standalone product, there's no long-term marketing benefits beyond ensuring that the main press-outlets centered around the capital have the chance to see it, so trying to spend extra to four-wall a few additional theaters isn't going to see a return. I gather the scale of plans they even have at the moment is largely thanks to the overwhelming positive feedback from the SLA screening(s), but there's only so much you can do whilst still breaking even. Basically, it just means that those locations which have traditionally done OK with one-off anime screens via Japan Foundation or whatever will take it, other places probably not so much.
Sword Art, on the other hand, does actually already have an audience beyond what would normally be considered the anime audience. It's basically sitting just below Attack on Titan in the tier below Dragonball - it's popular and well known and there's metrics to prove it.
(I should probably say, Silent Voice is really, really heavy at times. I appreciate why it'd be a hard sell. It definitely isn't normal family fare, even if it does have it's moments of levity)

Little sisters and glasses. Alrighty then. Anyway, good ep. I think it's pretty obvious how this hollow shadow thing will be defeated.
Also, this anime is really pretty. I really like everything about it visually. The music is top notch as well.

It'll possess half demon dude and be killed that way, and since he's apparently immortal, he won't die like the girl in the past?

That's what I see happening yes. Also, something brought up today to Kudelia that may also foreshadow Tekkadan's future
the whole conversation on the phone with Makanai, where he tells her not to take the shortest path to her goals since it'll bring her misery. That is exactly what Orga is doing this season.
Overall,
a bad ending for our characters pretty much, if we are to go by what is being shown to us and they aren't just red herrings.

Man this is some really cool stuff! I never noticed! It would change so many things! So basicaly
Yuta Gamon would have died on episode 3? Or at least he is like the new character for ep.4, devil guy.
Glad you're enjoying it. And yeah, it's very pretty and I was really impressed by some of the action bits.
I can't wait to see your post for episode 6.
The relative lack of physical intimacy in Nagisa and Tomoya's relationship was something that struck me while I was watching the show. But this post made me think about the issue again, and because of how childish Nagisa seems, I think even the most tasteful of implied sex scenes would have felt disturbing on some level.
Not sure exactly what that says about the show as a whole.

Nothing good, that much I can tell you. Half the female cast would likely be outsmarted by toddlers.

That was awesome. And dude's demon form was badass. Also, only 200 yen? That's pretty fucked up, considering. My little sister can't be this cute dude is about to make bank from killing a bunch of demon wolf scrubs, but deadman wonderchick can barely get enough for a decent meal after killing the nothing. How unfair is that?!

They've obtained the license and are re-releasing it. I'm guessing this means that when Eva comes to the UK on BD, Anime Limited will be the ones to release it, having Eva all under one roof makes sense.
