The SLA Twitter account did specifically call attention to this film, for what that's worth. It won't be too long before we find out.
Eating mermaid is never a good idea. NEVER.
If you watch one anime this season, watch Kill la Kill.
It's, like, a no-brainer.
Not watching Kill la Kill should be some kind of crime.
(Also, I think you like cute things? So check out Non Non Biyori.)
Lol that scene is stuck in my mind now.

she doesn't want to because her mind is crushed by the pressure.

I guess I'll be a criminal then.
Yu-Sibu ep.2
Still fun to watch. They even managed to make someone trying to remember stock convenience store phrases look endearing and cute.
By the way, this show has some of the most ridiculous character names. Raul Chaser, Fino Bloodstone, Visor Crossroads, Nova Luminous...

While the film itself certainly looks good this must be the most competently cut anime trailer since...Redline? It's certainly been awhile. Most trailers are truly woeful.

I loved Little Witch Academia. And I can definitely expect high production values out of Studio Trigger.
Unfortunately, I've been a little turned off by some of the screenshots I've seen. Particularly some of the 'practically naked' ones out there.
Exactly how much giggle physics can I expect out of Studio Trigger for this anime?
Because I don't like jiggle physics.
Actually, what is it I ought to look forward to out of Kill la Kill in general?

Besides the obvious Kill La Kill, I trully enjoyed nagi-no-asukara; thought it was good as a complementary series.
If you're already having issues with the fanservice, I wouldn't recommend it.
I can second this recommendation. Nagi no Asu Kara has the cutest girl of the season in Manaka.

Recommendations don't have to be from this season, by the way. There's loads of previous aired anime out there I've missed out on.
In that case... I don't see anything in your post history about Kin'iro Mosaic. If you haven't watched it yet, that's a problem that you should probably fix.

The sight gags are quite possibly my favorite thing about the series.
I'm only being a little bit hyperbolic. They really add a lot.
Today's Fall season license from Sentai Filmworks is Kyoukai no Kanata, or as the official English name goes, Beyond the Boundary.

I'd skimmed over that entry on AniChart and didn't give it much more look.
There wasn't a description of the anime, and nothing seemed particularly striking about the promotional graphic.
But now that I've done more reading and researching into the title, it does sound a lot more interesting to me now.
This is also a much better promotional graphic than what they're using. It communicates the setting a lot better than a bunch of kids jumping.
I like the description of the lore or background of this world. People living in the ocean an so forth.

Nice pickup, may get it when dubbed.

Wow, that's perfect. I can't believe I haven't seen this anime before.
This is definitely an anime I would have already watched if I had been better keeping up with anime rather than video games lately. Thanks for that recommendation. I'll go watch that immediately.

My favorite trailer this year, when considered as its own thing, is still the Aku no Hana trailer, despite it being almost entirely stills. The way it uses music is so good.

Forget keeping up with anime, it's all about the games.
My copy of Pokemon X just finished downloading a few seconds ago.
Why do I have the feeling that trying to find time to play this is not going to do wonders for my efforts to keep up with far too many anime.

This is a well made, good looking, and generally enjoyable first episode that utterly failed to garner my interest. I have no interest in the characters or the setting based on what Umetsu displayed here. This mix of adventure and light heated banter is giving be bad Fractale flashbacks.
I do think the Umetsu's direction of this episode was praiseworthy. I loved the fetishistic attention to detail on mechanical objects and the logical coherence to all the action sequences and it all moved along at a fair pace but I just didn't care for any of it.
I probably won't be bothering to watch another episode.

Those sound like rejected Gundam character names.

Another great example. I think the music does a fair amount of the heavy lifting here but the restraint in terms of tone and what's shown really works wonderfully,

Golden Time 2
Big improvement over the first episode, but you can already see where it's going, of course the opening ruins that already.

Note sure who you are but I will recommend Log Horizon.
Too creative for modern Gundam. Nowadays you gotta be Blood Bloodman or Revive Revival.

to be honest I stumbled upon it @ cr, description looked ok, has a nice sense of style and the set up is kinda interesting, like it so far.
Samurai Flamenco 1
really mixed feelings about this, loved the cop but loathed the model. if the show was about the cop's life i'd be 100% on board, but given the show title it's going to heavily feature the asshole model guy isn't it. will give it a couple more episodes to see which direction it goes in but expectations are now low.

Would I be an animu heathen if I said that 90% of the anime about cute girls doing badass shit would be better if you replaced those cute girls with badass characters?
Plenty of anime like that in the world actually. That is anime like Fairy Tail, Bleach, One Piece, Soul Eater, Hunter x Hunter, Dragon Ball Z and so on and so forth.

Any thoughts about Log Horizon? I thought it was aight, had a nice sense of self awareness; not sure about long term potential but the first episode was good, liking the characters so far.

After the first episode it seems like one of those anime that will be considered decent but forgettable. Animation is eh, character design is eh, story is eh, but somehow in the first episode it added up to: eh not bad.
over-all it'll be one of those 70s rated anime.

It was pretty fun and lighthearted, thankfully differentiating itself from SAO. Plus Akatsuki is adorable.
For what it's worth, it's on the list of things that Andrew P said it's definitely one of. I'd kind of ruled it out by virtue of the fact that it's not out until next year, but the screening is supposed to be of a non-final edit, and the festival has, traditionally, had pretty good ties with Production IG (their first mystery film was Oblivion Island, and their second was supposed to be 009 Re:Cyborg).
Much as I'd like to see Yoyo and Nene, I wouldn't feel too ripped off if Giovanni no Shima was the mystery film.
Speaking of SLA, I guess it's actually started. Enjoyed Eva 3.0 more on the big screen than I did at home, part of which is probably knowing what to expect this time, but I'm still largely ambivalent towards it.
Perfect Blue in a couple of hours. I don't think I've seen that movie since 1999...

Felt like a morning cartoon that one watches while waiting for their time to walk to the school bus, that is to say, watchable and decent though nothing special beyond enemies dropping loot. Could be flashier and have some element of surprise and suspense.
Hyouka will never be licensed
It's like KyoAni hates their best show.
More like everyone else likes to keep their money.

Better to never get licensed than get a Sentai 'release'.

bad gameplay lol
Better than a NISA release. I've been trying to get a friend of mine to watch Toradora forever but he won't because he only watches dubs. =/
Yozakura Quartet Hana no Uta - Episode 1
I liked this more than I expected. I'm no fan of the franchise, but since the episode didn't really require much knowledge of the setting to enjoy a random action packed set piece involving giant goldfishes, it was pretty fun. I dunno if I'll keep watching every week, but as long as the antics are fun and the animation is top-tier, it should be enjoyable. The end of the episode sets up an interesting longer term goal for the series' story arc too.
