I've never seen S1 though......
Doesn't make me any happier. I want more Megumi and house crew!
They both suck with the occasional overachieving outlier coming through as exception rather than rule.

Pretty amazing how fast I fell off the Soma train. Made the OT for the first season and enjoyed both the show and the manga, by the time S2 rolled around I was disliking the manga and by now I barely given enough of a shit to read it each week.
The Azami arc stuff is fairly bad, and also I may have just found inherent weaknesses in the series that were always there. Or maybe just having a long running series based on cooking cant work because every aspect that makes someone better has to be meticulously explained by sideline characters

Not driving a convincing argument there, much less an insightful one. You'll need to break it down better than that to make a strong point.
Well, I watch shonen for the character ideals and how well they're woven into the story/setting over time - the action carries weight partly thanks to them and partly based on how compelling or interesting the world's mythos/fiction is setup. Each of those factors can differ to varying degrees in every shonen, some break beyond a point, especially likely if they're long running.

You never addressed why you're watching the monster that is Umaru-chan. Like...why?
I said best girl is Megumi-chan. How dare you question my loyalty!? I just accepted the fact that the manga and show are pushing for Erina/Soma ship and I just said she wasn't the worst. There are other plenty of other girls in the show that are the worst. Like the meat girl.
Edit: Sorry. Didn't read to the end. Lol. Show and the character are annoying as shit. Watched three episodes and then dropped it like the plague.
Alice's mom is my waifu.

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War 01
First good show of the season, we're off to a real good start. Very interesting characters, design, animation. It sucked me in and I didn't come out until it was over.

Soma S3 - 01
What a tepid resumption of the series. The awkward retelling of the OVA parts of the audience missed, myself included, surely was a damn weak starting point.
I hope this episode director doesn't get to direct much more. What was he even thinking with those dutch angles alone? But really, nothing was well done. For instance, I dunno if the show used its soundtrack so poorly before.
And maybe less the fault of the directors, but content-wise we get another heap of characters I have no reason to care about at all really. The existing cast was too large already and now we get ten or so super duper elite eccentric badasses, most of whom will probably join these static folks after a short time. Performing their single joke routine before drifting into irrelevance again.
Well, I already know that Erina might take a more centerpiece role here and the OP shows as much. But that's really all I care about for now. That shouldn't have taken this long to begin with but hey, at least it's an existing character who might get some development? Pretty please?

The only magical girls I know are from Nanoha-verse and the ladies of Symphogear. But since Vivid Strike just ended last year and Symphogear AXZ ended last week I'm in pretty good shape.
I mean, it's all opinion-based but sure. I was never impressed by the start of Bleach. It just felt like the first five episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho dragged out into a long arc, with far less likable characters. When they got development, which wasn't common. Barely twenty episodes in and Kubo was already showing his penchant for introducing characters he had no plans to do anything with.
And the Soul Society arc just felt like the Buu Saga for DBZ--Ichigo constantly hiding away and trying to figure out a way to not get the crap kicked out of him with some new training. I get the drama of underdogs, but eventually I get to the point where the underdog feels unbelievable and they just shouldn't win. It's my problem with early Naruto too, but they had more creative solutions. And ultimately Naruto went into some interesting territory IMO.
Black Clover on the other hand gets to all its interesting fight-y bits sooner, and with a cast I feel is more interesting/standout by comparison to Bleach. 100 chapters in and I already feel like I'm midway through the series.

OK, all is right in the world.... I need my brother-in-arms, lol.
I had fun with Himura. It was a stupid show, but was pretty fun to watch.

I agree this was great, totally surprised me at how much I enjoyed it.
Sengoku Night Blood on the other hand.... oooph.
I got tired of it after like 4 episodes. But my friend wanted to keep watching it, so I suffered through both seasons. As someone who hates shounen battles, "shounen battles but with food" was entertaining the first few times, but got old quickly.

DTL once argued in the manga thread that Takumi and Soma are canonically lovers and that the material (which is identical to the anime) makes it clear they're lovers.
The only good thing I can say about Umaru is that neither she or her brother are into the other.

It begins airing October 8 on Japanese TV, but won't air internationally on Netflix until 2018.

It's really simple: its because Azami is a plot tumor.

Even if you wanted to and could speak Japanese because I doubt anything is translated of it, is there even a database that has every episode ever, and is that even available to anyone

Im not sure what you are looking for. Even if those two shows are successful, their existence wont stop incest fantasy and harem light novels from being written and adapted into anime.

Fate/Zodiac (Juni Taesen: Zodiac War), Episode 1 - They really couldn't have laid it on thicker that
was going to be the first to die. Between the elaborate backstory and Tokiomi Tohsaka-level smugness over believing that they have the entire game planned and figured out.
Blatantly obvious Death Flag aside, the first episode was fairly interesting. Though it is feeling like Fate without the memes so far.

In fairness, if Shokugeki no Soma was a harem series, that guy would totally be the MC.

The title of the episode is also a massive flag.
Even Boars May Become Pigs After Seven Generations
PshycoNinja watched and appreciated Eromanga-sensei, so maybe he'll get everything he wants.
we don't know.
and technically you could likely squeeze out 24-26 episodes if you want.
but rushing through the garbage content they will be adapting would be for the best.
the horrible story/characters might be better at a faster face because they are horrid at the pace the manga went at.
I officially don't like you because you seem to be a fan of Bitch Mctits (obviously this is meant to be an insult to the character covering every character aspect she shows through the first two seasons. she is a bitch, and she is liked by some fans because she has large breasts :/).
if I am wrong I will take it back, but anyone here who is a fan of Bitch Mctits is my enemy

I don't know if that's the message it's trying to send out. If so, then dear God...
But if they are a lot more successful than the pandering light novels and adaptations maybe there could be a cultural shift in the community for better stories that aren't incest fan-service shows. And maybe animation houses will start to select better stories to adapt.
Lets not spread fallacies. While I did watch it, I was not happy with the topics that particular writer likes to keep writing about. He writes generally fun shows that are funny and fun watches but he has this particular fetish that I wish he would get rid of in his writing. Would make for far better shows and stories.

Nobunaga no Shinobi ~30-52 END
And so the most historically accurate rendition of Warring States period ended. For now at least. And in a pretty awkward place cause right before the next large clash so I hope they'll get to continue this after a short while especially as it didn't progress as far I as imagined. Pretty sure they didn't even do the sacking of the monastery which was in the 2nd OP. It's more charming than laugh out loud funny but the endearing characters, fun designs and the lightning quick tempo made for a pretty engaging experience overall with not a dour moment. Kugumiya as tsundere wife of a shogun when.
