That sounds like it would be pretty good! Y'know, character building? Going on an Odyssey of discovery!
Mob Psycho 100 - Episode 2
This was pretty good. I really like the art style and it allows for some truly creative animation cuts. But beyond that what is impressive here is how the characters and the episodic story is handled. I feel there's a layer of depth here which One Punch Man lacked. There's a deeper psychology than "this is a vehicle for commentary/satire" and Regin and Mob feel like human beings who can be related to regardless of the ridiculousness of the narrative set up. The end of the episode was great. Lol.

Ah, I missed that. It's good to know the writers aren't quite as clumsy as I thought they might be.

Finally!
Finished Cowboy Bebop and I don't really get the hype, or rather I kind of do, but it just didn't set my world on fire.
I still think the show is great, just not as great as everyone else seem to think it is.
To be fair , I often have a hard time with episodic series (unless it happens to have girls in cute dresses kicking ass).
Koyomimonogatari - Ep. 1-2
Looks like all the short stories are going to be about Araragi?
I guess that only makes sense with a title like that.
Anyway, it's pretty good so far. Turns out monogatari works evey well in a shorter format.
I also watched Cardcaptor Sakura up to Episode 26.
For 1 reason or another the show doesn't give me the "just one more episode" feeling I get from stuff like Pretty Cure, so this might take a while, but it's a great show nontheless.
I have seen that many people like to call this show a healing anime and these shows never really did it for me,so I guess that's the problem here?

I mean not everyone will like The Wire or Breaking Bad. It's fine.
I am somewhat surprised people would still be harboring bitter feelings about the Chimera Ant Arc. Ironically I would say that HxH only steps out from behind its melange of stereotypes and well-worn scenarios when it gets there. Even with its slow pace it is deliberate and elaborate in its construction in a way that does not feel at all similar to Brotherhood.

Can't wait to hear about your impressions on Regin since he's probably one of the most genuinely charismatic characters I had the pleasure of watching this year.

Chimaera Ant Arc is totally worth it for the ending happenings, few things as cathartic as the payoffs for Gon and Pito, Netero and Mereum and Mereum and Komugi

This and Fate is pretty much the complete lineup for the second half of 2017. Everything else will end in Spring.

Occultic;Nine 7-9
Well things are piecing together more. Looks like they're going to go with
The one big surprise for me was that
The FBI agent coming in was kind of a nice change of pace. Largely because she started to help solve stuff, and she also has a cool occultic power. Unfortunately, a couple characters still get shunted to the side. Seems like Kiryu might finally get some real time in the sun next episode.

time travel in order to bring some (all?) of them back to life. Not a huge fan of that, but it was kind of obvious that not all of them would stay dead, so it's not a huge surprise.
The one big surprise for me was that
Ryotasu is not dead. Combined with some stuff from the anime, observations about her in the LN gave me the impression that she was in fact dead. At the very least, since episode 3 and reading the novel it was pretty clear she was playing dumb. Like I thought, she was Zonko. Sounds like there might also be some parallel world/different timeline shenanigans going on here based off of some things that she said, the OP and the end card.

Why is that poor girl's nose sideways?
Is that a plot point?

Lol Yuri on Ice even got a small shoutout on South Park. You can tell this season got completely fucked by the election though.
Yes, now you nose the secret.
She looks like Senjougahara.

How many ears does she have?

The designers wisely use hair to get around the 4 ear conundrum.
That reminds me I read some anotations on a keyframe back at the Madogatari expo that said something along the lines of Black Hanekawa having no human ears, or maybe that they just had to avoid showing them in in-betweens at all costs.
Designing cat girls is serious business.

Sound! Euphonium s2 10
Damn Asuka fucking rekt Kumiko and fucking called her out and all her fucking bullshit. I was wondering if anyone ever would.
Brave Witches 09

Loved the episode and the about of badass going on with these witches, character shown at ending was the cherry on top. Also this fucking eyecatch is the best one yet.

- With regards to any similarities to Brotherhood - I would agree that they aren't particularly similar, but they are equally appealing in that they are both 'Action-Fantasy series that doesn't look overly Japanese'. This means that both works seem to be very accessible.
- For all the facets of the Chimera Ant Arc that I appreciate I cannot get over its pacing. I find it to be torturous. I acknowledge that there were plenty of people who didn't mind it and there was much discussion of this issue back when the series was airing.

The problem is, if she doesn't the blank space would look weird. if she does, she'd have 4 ears. Cat ears don't make much anatomic sense though due to how the skull is shaped so it's all about keeping that illusion so hair is used to get around that.
And yes I think the point there was to make sure they weren't drawn.
Quite.

After episode 8 hope isn't even needed anymore.
Did we watch the same episode? Because in mine Asuka got BTFO for her wanna-be mature attitude and her insults aimed at Kumiko felt pretty baseless when it wasn't Kumiko's fault to accidentally witness and become part of all the drama. Besides, she often ended up being the one to actually straight talk to people.
And you know, Asuka finally recognized her faults at the end of their dialogue (and episode end clarified it just the more).

Naruto Shippuden: Season 17 Episode 485 Naruto Shippuden, Sasukes Story: Sunrise, Part 2: Coliseum
Yes Suigetsu and others came back for more.
Really interesting episode with the island and also some of Orochimaru's discussions providing insights into the reasoning behind why he and Kabuto are under simple surveillance.
The lightning style jutsu this episode was cool even if it was a minor moment.

Chimera Ant arc is the best thing Togashi has ever written in my mind.

Are figure skaters not paid much? I didnt understand why Yuri has to pay off the ring in installments, when he is already a world class skater.
Reminds me also of idol anime like Show by Rock where Titan has to live in a one room apartment, or Shingancrimsonz are all having to have part time jobs. Are singers paid that little?

I am not sure, but aren't professionnal athletes mostly getting paid by sponsorship? Guessing that since he hit a wall (losing sponsors) and came out of universiry, he just doesn't have much.
Flip Flappers Episode 10:
I call this, so fucking called this, I shall now dance the dance of joy.

Everything you have seen up to this point is a lie and indeed they were holding back a lot of cards, not all of which have been shown. The greatest surprise was just how much time had passed from the flashback days and this may mean that Papika is a just kind of stuck as an eternal 14 year old. I suspect that the next episode will finally delineate the motivations of the larger players beyond controlling the Pure Illusion.
