Yeah Rakugo really is something else. I don't think anything else really compares.

Well, outside of anime GAF, it's not that popular... JoJo and Re;Zero will kill it dead...
Nit Ducky said it wasn't anime, therefore shouldn't be included, lol.
Quru said he wasn't going to do it, so I threw my name out there... Anyone else want to do it?
Despite my interest in seeing less time spent skating last week, I actually felt the way the episode handled its core character moments for Yuri and Viktor worked quite well. Yuri could have monologued forever before getting out on the ice to air his feelings but instead we got a steady visual build-up and a more "realistic" short explosion.
A pure guess would be that the show will return to Christophe, Phichit and Georgi, but I don't see how the storyline can have enough time for them; there's a bunch of other skaters we've not even met yet according to the show's website.
This is why we need a downtime episode!!!! My minor concern is actually the show has nowhere planned to develop the central characters further (particularly given the ending of this episode which, while delightful in many ways for the kind of show this is, is quite abrupt!) - are we going to find out what really makes these characters tick? Will we go into full cliche territory and have Viktor stop being Yuri's coach for some reason until they make up again and win the final?
I didn't really notice this; I thought we'd already seen this routine (it's where Yuri gets particularly "noodly" in his proportions).
I would probably have never noticed this if it hadn't been for you mentioning it but it is SO incredibly obvious. They did go to the effort of mirroring the shot once, and one time they didn't show the full animation loop of them clapping!

As long as MHA is in the top 10 I don't really care for the rest, I would even accept puppets getting the #1 spot.

Twin Star Exorcists ep.32
Not sure what to think about this episode really. It was half flashback and half cryptic set-up for future events. Ether way it looks like Benio and Rokuro are getting closer to a true ship here soon, but we'll see...
Word play now, huh?
We'll have to get an official ruling from him on it, lol.

The final scene makes me question the social norms of YoI world, to be honest.
The anime was always super gay, but teh gay always either between two characters in private or could be played as a joke (Drunk Victor molesting Yuri), on other hand
two dudes making out out of nowhere in front of everyone and the cameras
It's the kind of scene I would expect on the last episode, so they wouldn't have to deal with the aftermath. It will be interesting to see if the next episode will actually address it or they'll sweep under the rug. ("It happened, but let's not discuss it and move along")

Pretty likely. But it'll just be a $180 set.
gdi
kizu 3 will still prob convince me though
On the other hand it's been a fantastic year for me in regards to watching animated movies on the big screen, Belladonna, The Red Turtle, Marnie, all fantastic. To think that I was questioning whether or not to go see these! I'll be seeing Your Name this Saturday to cap it off, heh I wonder how that'll go.
My top 5 currently:
1. Mob Psycho 100
2. Kiznaiver
3. 91 Days
4. Flying Witch
5. Bungou Stray Dogs
Kiznaiver and 91 Days are so close to each other that I might switch the two depending how I feel. If Bungou holds up well to the end, it could possibly stay put while Euphonium is likely going to come in and bump out Flying Witch then to #6.
Not sure if I want to count Luluco being a short series, and Thunderbolt Fantasy is not really an anime in the end, so honorable mention for that one and possibly Luluco.
Edit: Actually I wondering about split cour like Bungou. Does the vote go to the series as a whole, or each season? I guess the series as a whole probably since both cour are in the same year.

Here's hoping we get a PS4 Pro patch.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
For what? It looks like a PS3 game, and in fact IS a PS3 game. I mean, that's no big deal for a game like Persona, but I'm struggling to think of what would be better about the game with Pro-enabled options.

I can see smiles from ear to ear on a few members now, lol.
See:
Title change needed. Haven't we had more boy x boy kisses than girl x boy and girl x girl now?
Bah, just gives players more time to play Tales of Berseria and watch Tales of Zestiria S2.
I had the biggest smile on my face the entire last third of the episode. So good.

That ending was perfect...PERFECT! I cried, this was perfect.

I can talk about some fun, quirky and weird shows I liked, but I'd rate Rakugo above them all by virtue of how appealing and fresh it was. While most shows I've watched tended to stick to general anime formulas and tropes, Rakugo's execution felt something more along the lines of a stage play or live action movie that happened to be in anime form.
Most anime series nowadays appear to be pretty self-aware of how they're invoking the same setting, characterization and plot tropes ad nauseam, either to play them straight, lampshade them or try to subvert them. In that aspect, Rakugo was like a breath of fresh air amidst a bunch of comical tsunderes, porn with excuse plots or harem series that can be fun, but aren't actually doing all that much in regards with pushing the medium, instead opting for the lazy way out of copying previous works (exhibit A: Magical Girl Raising Project).

I'm guessing this arc should fill us in on a lot of Victorica's past and her title of the gray wolf.. Dis could get good.

Euphonium S2 - 07

I dont care about Persona 5 getting delayed unless it effects Nier Automata's release window.
Because I will choose Nier over P5.

Excellent escape scene and emotional moment for Victorica. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing was answered, however, Koujo and Victorica had another amazingly cute moment together.

Actually very glad, I really have much I intend to finish before that.
My top 5 list will wait until I finish some stuff I started but Rakugo is still at the top.

They just giving Koharu the boot cause they couldn't figure out what to do with her. Surprised the Kasumi family doesn't just up and follow her to Italy.
Hime tells Yume about this stupid secret power thing while not actually telling us anything we didn't already know.

They killed it at that competition though. Though I'm wondering what purpose those extra teachers served other than to make Reina wonder if Tski-sensei was taken.

I say keep going with the anime it's one of the rare cases where I believe it's the superior version. The way things are structured and how the story flow is just better.
Also the anime ending(the movie)is 10x times better then the manga
I'm slowly remembering the series as you give your episode impressions. While things get drama-heavy at times, it was still palateable, and am glad you're still watching it.
Well, they did add their own non-Taki points of view and way of saying things, and the people in their respective sections appear to be really grateful towards them as well (you'll get to see a glimpse of that in Episode 6). While we don't see them actually doing much on-camera, you can tell the band owed a lot to them during the summer camp.
That kind of stuff is interesting to me, because it shows that things are happening even when they aren't the focus of the story we're being told. Those little details help make the world appear to be lived-in rather than just a place for the protagonists to engage in whatever the story wants them to do, which is really nice.

I wasn't expecting an action episode mixed in here, but the train scenes were pretty well done. I don't like how they are hiding tgr central plot from me though dammit! I want in on everything going on, or why it's all happening!

Ehhhhh idk about this. It's a tough one. NieR is getting a Pro patch too apparently, so supersampled 60fps P* gameplay sure would be a sight to behold. But Persona is... Persona.
This is true. I sure hope they don't, I'm pretty sure I will have wrapped FFXV up by then, so I'm gonna need something to play.

Ok, I really needed that injected cuteness into my soul. This is such a funny, fun and relaxing anime to watch! Big sis got involved this time and ever her maternal instincs were going crazy at the cuteness.
