Why even do anime. I welcome our half length show and theatrical released movie future...unless animovies also can suffer from such issues.

My wife says that it came out during the run that the TV version's background was based off a real life image, as in they just redrew the background from it. Maybe something having to do with that made them decide to redo the back of the room? Outside of something like that I'm not sure I'd see a reason to redo it.
Hiroyuki Yamashita apparently had to be admitted 3 times to hospital during his directorial stint on Boruto.

I wonder how a complete shift to OVAs and movies would affect anime streaming services like crunchyroll.

This is a good article because it has actual numbers. Someone did some grinding to produce this piece and I applaud their efforts.

Kuromukuro 14
Kaya is truly psychotic. A UN soldier gets stabbed in the leg defending him while he's blithely filming an intense battle between two aliens(?) and all he can say is "Oh, I guess he's human." He has allowed the Internet to completely disassociate himself from reality, and it'll be a miracle if he doesn't get killed or get someone else killed by the end of the series.

I like the direction the story is going, having the fallout from the continued attacks in the area start to cause families to prepare to move away and businesses to close. It brings a touch of the impact of war on ordinary civilians into the show.

Keijo on the list by the sheer power of booty alone.
"Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!!" at 11th place tied with Mob, WHUT?
Yes it was, might even be my AOTY depending if Thunderbolt Fantasy is allowed or not.
All I remember about that one was the annoying blue girl.

Would have been interesting if they told us which of the anime on niconico had the highest number of viewers.

well, this year is special since anything within the "spirit of anime" is eligible to be voted in as "Anime" of the year.........
OK, now that my sarcasm is done, yes, I guess we are allowing the puppet show to be voted in as an "anime" this year

Natsume Yuujinchou Go: 6-11 + OVA
Finished up the season and it was pretty good. The Natori and Touko episodes were unexpected but their perspectives turned out to be entertaining to watch. The OVA with Nyanko was a sweet episode as well. As expected, the season was a pleasant and sometimes bittersweet watch.
The Boy and the Beast:
Been interested in watching this for a while now, so was glad to finally do it. For the most part I was pleased with it, the dynamic between Kyuta and Kumatetsu turned out pretty good overall. There are some areas that were really rough around the edges though. The antagonist felt like it was an afterthought, they vaguely glimpsed it once then grouped it with a character that they didnt really show much so that made the last part a little jarring and disappointing. The added eventual love interest also didnt really click that well and she eventually became a hindrance as it went on.
The soundtrack was good and the animation was as well, there were some really stunning scenes in the latter half. However, the story wasnt as focused as I would have liked, there are a few aspects that would have been better if expanded on earlier in the film. With that said though, I still really enjoyed it.
Gravity Rush Overture
Studio Khara did their thing here, thought it looked great. Nice treat before GR2 comes out. The action was pretty good and seeing how close Kat and Raven have gotten is cool. Also, the credits were dope.

So I'm bored and trying to update my PTW now that I have even less time to watch anime!. I had some recommendations saved and all but I'm hungry for more. MAL link to help. I'm looking more for stuff that I might have missed in these past few years, but if you HAVE to recommend something older, go ahead. And anything and everything goes except Gundam.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Well that's good to hear
Actually , if you haven't yet watched Thunderbolt Fantasy definitely try it out, story wise and thematically i think it's something that matches your taste in shows, who knows you might even really like it.

Ajin S2 13 END
Really ? You had a finished, if rushed story there and decided to bust it open in the very last second, with pretty much no new hook but only a promise of reprise of the up till now stuff ? Euugghh.
And weren't Ajin's supposed to be completely new peeps after losing their head ? Unless that's part of Satou's mystery ...
I didn't really pay too much attention to Ajin lore but pulling The Flood phenomenon to save Nagai and decide the issue feels weak asf too.
I've been warming up to this second season a bit but this soured me on it again. A fairly heavy downgrade from the decent S1.

OT: Is there a lot of grinding involved in FFX ? Thinking about making my 3rd attempt at jRPGs ...

How was Euphonium S2, all told? I haven't seen S1 or S2 and was considering starting it up, but felt like a saw a lot of complaints this time around (compared to the first season).
Better, worse, a wash? Trying to figure out if it's worth picking up or not.

No. Most post-8-bit JRPGs should have little if any necessity to grind to complete the story.
Depends on what you're looking for. The animation and photography work is, if anything, even better than S1. It's often jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The overall series planning from a writing perspective is pretty sloppy though, and there's a lot of melodrama of questionable value.
At any rate, the performance in episode 5 is extremely well done.
Definitely worse, it's not as tight as S1 and it is unnecessarily melodramatic. I enjoyed it, but it didn't live up to the expectations.

EXTREMELLY melodramatic and with a heavy focus on teen drama, which Kumiko for some reason seems to be a magnet for. If season 1 was about the music being played by a bunch of kids, season 2 is about the kids that are playing the music. Whether this is a good or bad thing, idk. The melodrama is seriously over the top, and something that seems just slapped on to what was an incredibly entertaining show. Almost feels like the author didn't have confidence in her work from season 1 and felt the need to create an "emotional hook" for the viewers.
I would say go up to episode 5, maybe episode 6 and then you are good.

Some like FFVIII even punish you for it. Which is silly imo. The point of levelling is difficulty scaling.
For me it's been a wash. Enjoyed it as much as S1.
I know right, you'd think it would be hard to vote Internet polls when on the run from the FBI.
