Uhhhh Arakawa Under the Bridge ? I don't quite keep track of what I'm watching.
You don't get say that since you chickened out after like 10 episodes at most. You have seen but an outline of the rabbit hole, of the unfathomed depths of stupid Wing descends too.
To Be Hero 02
Oh the horror.
Still quite good and funny even if not on par with premiere.
The Legend of Erin #23
Ah yes. Good old fantasy racism.
When I watched the preview, I thought this episode would have been stupid stuff with old men yelling at the clouds.jpg, but it was actual fairly solid. These people have a fanatical, almost religious devotion to the queen
, so it would make that they would freak out when this girl comes and does the same thing only the Queen can supposedly do.
Next episode is POLITICS, so I bet episode 25 will have another time-skip. Not too much they can do with teenager Erin anymore.

I think this might be the first year in a long time where I haven't actually watched many, if any.
I am re-watching G Gundam, which doesn't count.
I am also about 5 episodes into Shonen Hollywood, but I can't really assess it at this stage.
I've been watching Mushishi (almost done, just the final OVA left), and it's sublime.

Oh wait, I did watch that. Pretty legit.
But, there's lolis that are older than they look in an edgelord post-apocalyptic world that would make Shadow the Hedgehog look like a Porygon 2 in comparison... and the opening even starts exactly like Attack on Titan's!
Let's face it, you wish you had a sempai and two lolis lusting after you like Ren "da boss" taro.
It's sitting nicely alongside Dangaronpa 3 on the list of anime series I wish I could un-watch somehow.

To Be Hero 02
This show is amazing. I have no idea how or why it exists but God bless it. Best ED of the season.

Yea, I get the feeling, by the end of the year I check what all I saw through out the year on MAL but end up clueless if it was this year or last year lol. I wish it even told the dates at which they were added.
It really is.

They're learning.
I dunno. To Be Hero seems pretty rotten to me. It's like the bad brand of adult swim grossout humor that went out of date ten years ago. It's not really clever...it just seems like a bad excuse for jokes about sexually harassing your daughter.
From the shorts I've seen Ninja Girl & Samurai Master/Nobunaga no Shinobi is surprisingly good if not very straightforward. Not even a very good year for Teekyu yet either tbh, but still okay.

So it's standard Nabeshin then.

Do people really wear shirts like this?
Many years ago Aya Hirano had a really questionable shirt while in public.
I bet on 2ch, at some point, someone made this exact comment about some shirt an American was wearing with Japanese on it.

You know how White people get tattoos of Chinese words and they all say "dicks" or "American pig" instead of breathe, life or love?
Yeah

Sound! Euphonium Season 2 2:
Another great episode. Getting the backstory on Nozomi and finding out what happened last year in the club was really good. I feel like I can sympathize a lot with everyone's point of view on this, although I'll be interested in getting Asuka's perspective next week.
Natsuki and Yuko scenes together were great, and I want to spend more time on their dynamic, because it's hilarious.
The scene that was entirely about Reina talking about how she's in love with Taki?

Hibike! Euphonium S2 - 02
Liked this episode quite a lot. Most of the dialogue felt much more natural than the one we got in ep1 and I wanna say there were more interesting shots, too. Still room for improvement, though. I could've done with less flashbacks this time around, that's for sure.
Oboe-san is quite the oddball and even puts Reina to shame in that regard. Makes for fun Kumiko encounters. Reina getting competition for Taki sensei was fun and quite frankly, that lady should put Reina out of competition. Not like she was ever in if Taki sensei is sensible.
I'm not sure if I'm liking that sempai/previous year drama much and it's getting a lot of focus. It's not bad per se but I'd prefer a bit more focus on the music.

When Reina and Kumiko have an entire episode where they just kiss people will say "Actually, they aren't gay"
You should watch it tho, its a good show

Animators be like: Finally some easier eyes to draw!
edit: now I gotta quote PrimeRib because Qurupeke removed the pic smh
MPR was faster on the reaction face of the week post.
Hibike Euphonium S2 02
Aw yes, we are already at the meatier part of the drama (excuse the pun) even though I had low expectations for this episode.
I love Kumiko's attempt to help Nozomi - might be an obvious thing to do, she even sort of regrets saying that but I still love the gesture. Something she can't simply ignore especially when things aren't adding up. Holy shit was I scared when she approached Asuka to ask, actually glad this was moved to the next episode, I don't think I could take it.

It isn't. There's some odd yuri bait in it, but the main thing (at least from S1) was the whole "try hard and aim for nationals!" goal everyone was striving for.
I won't be able to watch S2 for a while, but I seriously hope things don't swing too hard towards romance (yuri or otherwise) this season.
Yuri!!! On Ice
It's interesting to note that the opera heard during the first episode is actually an original piece and debut of 25 year old composer/conductor Taku Matsushiba.
http://picosong.com/aRnF/
It seems that Matsushiba will probably be handling the orchestra pieces that play during the ice skating segments. Further supported by this recent translated interview about the show's costume designs https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2016/10/12/behind-the-scenes-of-yuri-on-ices-costume-design/
The rest of the BGM/score seem to be handled by the other composer, Taro Umebayashi.
Matsushiba is a new employee of Piano Inc (which employs Yoko Kanno) and was hired earlier this year after obtaining his masters from Tokyo University.
So yeah, pretty cool I guess. Shout out to other opera pieces this season like the one in Izettaby MICHIRU, Hayato Matsuo supposedly has one in Drifters going by one of the PVs, Iwasaki going to break one out for Bungo? lol

Sound! Euphonium Season 2, Episode 2:
Well then, this episode left me thoroughly pissed, though not for the usual reasons. This Nozomi sub-plot is now pissing me off, didn't care for it last episode but it got infuriating here as it keeps getting shoved down the throat and yet I have had not had a reason to be sympathetic with her. In fact, I agreed with Asuka, why should she be let back on to the team after she up and quit because she wasn't getting her way and also let us be honest here because they are actually engaging in her desire? That sounds really fucking selfish and Nozomi hasn't offered up recompense for her past transgressions or even provided evidence that she wouldn't do this again.

This pretty much sums up my opinion too. It was much better than I thought it would be. I do question the necessity of a pool setting considering how quick they were to move on, but considering the focus on plot - no, really - that's a minor quibble.
Reina's reactions to the new sensei were amusing as well.

The aria in the first episode of Izetta is actually from Mozart, not an original composition.
Until someone pulls a tuba out of the other's chest, no.
Edit: Whoops misread
But yes I did saw the credit to Mozart in Izetta's credits, perhaps I should rephrase as adapted? or included?
