I was actually going to start Mushishi as the next series I watch but I guess I could watchbet instead. As for series I could recommend there is Starblazers(Yamato 2199), Rainbow, Usagi Drop and Ergo Proxy from comparing MALs.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha - Episode 5
The first half of the episode didn't really offer that much in terms of story progression and quite a few scenes were just stills with some voicing on top (it's a hot spring episode so I didn't expect too much anyway). Yuuno being so awkward in the situation he was in was the highlight of the first half by far.
The second half is where things got interesting with another duel with the mysterious new Magical Girl, Fate and her familiar who has dog ears which would be great to some but it was not for me.
After the duel we find out the full name of the girl is Fate Testarossa which wouldn't look out of place in a Tomino series to be honest.

Ohhhhh boy. What are the odds that making the saucer in the sky vanish is gonna end up causing some really sad things to happen later on in this show? And why oh why do I think it's gonna involve Noel in some way?

Did you watch the OVA and movie for Steins;Gate yet?
Inou Battle 2
To be frank, I wasn't looking forward to this at all. Episode 1 was fun, yes. But, nothing worthwhile. With this, my opinion has certainly changed for the better and I'm officially sold. This was a lot better than the first episode. The RomCom element here was especially great.

I would be down for Yamato. Would finally provide the impetus I need to watch it all.

All right, you've made it past the rough beginning episodes. Episodes 6 and onwards is where the show starts to get really interesting.
I watched the OVA. I heard there was a movie, but I just assumed it was a recap up until now after looking it up. It's a continuation?
I'm...not sure I want to see it. The ending of the series and OVA was perfectly fine. I remember a certain other anime that got a sequel film that took the entire ending of the show and screwed it all up even though the way the show ended was perfectly fine.
The second episode, even without the use of the super powers, was better than the first.
It takes a place either a year after the TV show or the OVA, can't remember. Im not sure if the movie affects the outcome of the events.

OreFuro Episode 2
I remember having to practice extreme measures to cut gas costs in the summer since gas was rivaling the cost it was in the winter, why they make water heaters use gas and people turn water heat up to the highest setting, maintenance!
Beautiful friendship though, when their shoulders touched in the bath!

Were there even any other elements?
Kinda weird to have a second episode where the powers don't really play a role and not only does it become a full RomCom but also the confirmation that literally all main girls love our MC. You know, the one guy with the usual lack of attractive qualities apart from being a good-hearted guy :| Yay harem!
I liked the last 3-4mins as I was just glad to see the MC clear up the misunderstanding and that scene felt well directed.
However, overall I don't want to continue watching some mediocre harem RomCom with magic elements on the side, especially not when the comedy falls completely flat. You know where the comedy comes from here? Mostly from having characters be either moronic or extremely childish. Zero effort.

I'm pretty sure that it's directly. It's far too similar in structure to be an accident or simply a case of recycling tropes. It's hitting the same notes, as it were.

Mushishi for Yamato? Works for me.
The movie is a self contained story from Kirisu's perspective. It doesn't really add or detract from the series but I guess it's worth a watch if you like Kirisu.

Yowamushi Pedal Grande Road Episode 2
Dont really see how the girl though Midousuji is gross. We need more people focused in this anime on victory and can reach that point since some characters were clearly ignored in that area (unforgivable that Imaizumi has done nothing significant
).
I kind of want Kyoto Fushimi to win, the others on the team need a chance to shine, and one has to admire how they are all a tight knit group anyway.

Rage of Bahamut 2
I'll echo the thoughts so far that the episode didn't look as good as the first one, but to expect movie-level animation for an entire series might've been asking for too much. The OP I swear was trying to emulate the Berserk Golden Age Arc Trilogy opening in the visuals, but unlike the Berserk movie OP which has a good song selection that fits with the show, this metal song was just bad. Not cheesy bad even, just bad. The ED was damn good too, the visuals were gorgeous and the song fit very well. I had to remind myself this was an anime though because the ED looked damn western up until the main girl started dancing.
As to the episode itself I am glad that it isn't exactly like Samurai Champloo as I originally thought it was going to be, but it might still end up going there once the three main players join up (which will probably happen next episode). I like that Favaro not only looks like a sneaky weasel, he actually is one. I won't say it's my preferred character type but it's definitely a breath of fresh air. The gag this episode of "look into my eyes" actually had me giggling because the VA did an amazing job with the noise he made at the end. In fact the VA for Favaro has been amazing. I'm surprised they went the direction they did with Amira. At first it seemed like she'd be the serious woman type, but she ended up being more girly and bubbly that I expected from her introduction in the first episode. I really want to like Kaisar as I love his design, but the show doesn't really seem to care about giving him more of a background at least 2 episodes in, so until they do he's just the rival who keeps getting beat by Favaro using cheap tricks. I remember in the trailer for the show he will eventually show his skills so I hope it happens soon as I don't want him being a gag character ala Team Rocket.
I'll once again echo the thoughts of others here and say the highlight was definitely the dancing scene. It bothered me a bit that somebody who clearly hadn't danced before could all of a sudden do dance moves that seemed like they fit a bit too well with the music. But I ignored that because the scene was so fun. The music in particular, OP aside, I'll never stop praising and the selection of a Gypsy Kings-sounding track was a great choice to emphasize the salsa-esque dancing.
Something felt off in the episode pacing for me. I don't know what it is but the part that bothered me the most was the necessity of the bounty hunting scene. Felt like it didn't fit with the rest of the episode.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha - Episode 6
Big encounter in the city between Fate and Nanoha. Nanoha is trying so hard to reason with Fate but alas they're rivals, so Fate doesn't have to tell Nanoha anything despite telling Fate exactly why she is collecting the Jewel Seeds. It really is just like Gundam, endless misunderstandings causing loads of trouble for everyone.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha - Episode 7
All of these random explosions, trees going crazy and kittens becoming giants have gotten too much now as now it has alerted the attention of the Time-Space Administration Bureau (That's a bit of a jump in the scale we're dealing with from a few episodes ago) and they're now going to try and stop all of the crazy goings on in Nanoha's city.
Just going to say, Fate's mother is pretty evil and it was pretty brutal to see Fate taking all that punishment from her. I wonder if it's going to be a little like Satsuki and Ryuko's relationship was like in Kill La Kill
.
The stakes are definately getting higher and the series is definately benefitting from this change of pace!

Then there's the fact that their clash has cracked their staves and has caused a massive explosion in the middle of the city. Makes the tree in Episode 3 seem like small fry.

Only just realized Favaro is voiced by MajinBone's Antonio, no wonder I enjoy him so much and all his antics, especially when he goes am I a liar, look in my eyes.
Promised Land is probably one of my favorite ED's this season.

Well, the plot has shown itself somewhat. Although it'll stay like this for long.
As far as the quality of it goes, I won't deny that this isn't a harem with all of the boxes ticked (minus the ecchi element). But that's usually how it is with them. And to be honest, as long as something is fun, or engaging, I'll more than likely fall for it no matter how simple or cardboard cutout it is.

Well, no and I doubt it'll go any further until much later. For clarification purposes, I just meant that it handled it a lot better than it's episode one counterpart did

I did like how of all the Sailor Senshi death scene's, Minako's feels rushed and underdeveloped, summary of her whole arc this season.
Speaking of, I did like how Toei used rough drawings for ghosts, it's like the anime enables them to half ass their work.

I haven't watched ep2 yet, but ep1 was a disappointment. It's a super straightforward episodic kids show, they're probably gonna do a case per episode with some minor arcs or two-parters. I'm holding out though, it might have some good episodes down the line.
All of them felt pretty rushed but the impact was still strong. I got chills at one point.

Sailor Moon 46
The final battle with Beryl was as exciting as I remember it being, and it was nice to see Usagi vs Endymion uncensored where he chokes her out... but other then that I found the ending to be kind of weak. They all died and the Silver Crystal just revived them without their memories... again. For all the DIC version botched I did like how Serena wanted to go back to living a normal teenage life and it was a straight up mind wipe, it felt more in character for what Usagi would have done.
Overall thoughts on S1
It's still very enjoyable, but the lack of development across the board really hurt it. Anytime the characters begin to show a bit of character growth it gets undone the next episode so we can go back to the status quo of monster of the week shenanigans. Inconsistent really does summarize this season, when it's good it's really good and when it's bad it's almost unwatchable. Glad to have seen it uncensored after so long.

Apparently the characterization is allowed to flourish in later seasons. I think it was just a case of Sailor Moons relative freshness. Like it was a "test season" to gauge interest.

Baby Steps 12:
Mike is certainly a typical anime stereotype of Americans, completely with the voice and everything. But he had some funny moments, and gave Ei-chan some good lessons. Visualization and memory are pretty important skills to have when it comes to maintaining form, so it made sense to put this stuff in. I really appreciate how genuine Baby Steps feels when it comes to tennis. I mean, I love crazy and unrealistic stuff like Prince of Tennis, too, but it's nice to have something very grounded in the reality of the sport and feeling like it's written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

Thankfully they went on and revealed what happened before everyone was on the island now instead of the memory loss thing being drawn out for several episodes. Older guy seems pretty cool too.
And I don't know why I'm just now realizing this considering how obvious it was from the jump, but this show is definitely Battle Royale-inspired.

Sailor Moon 45-46 + S1 Final Thoughts
Since Sailor Moon was the first attempt at fusing the magical girl genre with a more Sentai-like formula, that explains the storytelling to some extent, too. Early Sentai series didn't start to take on their modern form until some time in the 90s, around when Zyuranger aired.
I'm glad I got to watch a classic anime, but I feel the rough edges of establishing a new subgenre. Most modern magical girl series have all their main heroines assembled by like episode 10 or so, and the shoehorned love interests for Ami and Rei felt a little out of place, especially with them being brought up in the finale. To say nothing of Naru and Nephrite's tragicreepy romance.
But I can see why it's a classic. The finale hit all the emotional beats it was supposed to, and was surprisingly brutal for a kids' show, even a kids' show of its era. If the show ended here, I'd be okay with that. However, I know a better version of this story, and it's not Crystal.
The 2003 tokusatsu version streamlines, slightly modernizes and generally reworks the concept of Sailor Moon, doing its own take on the Dark Kingdom arc. That's my favorite take on it. It has the best Ikuko, the best Naru, and the most demonic-looking Luna plushie this side of Toei's budget. Sure, it has some ballet fighting and really cheap CGI effects, even for its era, but in terms of story? Blows the classic anime out of the water, in my opinion.
Though next is R, and I have even less frame of reference for that than the original series, and no other show to compare it to. This is going to be fun.

Pocket Monsters Best Wishes 2:
So, after all of that buildup last episode, Pikachu's loss of his attacks lasted for just one episode? Okay. Well, that's dumb, but it was a dumb plot point to begin with, so whatever. I'm not happy with the way Satoshi has been written two episodes in. After all of his development in the previous series, now he's struggling at just capturing a Pokemon? I hope this gets written away soon, because it really doesn't work with his established character.
Beyond that, the Rocket Gang trio are well and truly dead. They have a new motto, but it feels completely lifeless. Whoever decided to make them 'serious' was a complete moron. It just feels wrong. And it's so sad that all their Pokemon got written out off screen. No more Sonansu popping up after they say something? No more Masukippa attacking Kojirou? Pour one out for all of them.
With that said, there are some good points to this episode. Iris, for one, I really like. I don't know that she can compare to Haruka or Hikari, but she has a strong episode here, and she's a lot of fun. She also has some nice moments making fun of Satoshi. I feel like she'll be a fun character to watch. There are also some nice, quieter moments in the episode which are good. The dinner scene, Satoshi and Pikachu looking up at the stars, and the final scene of the episode, for example. In all, it's not a bad episode, but I really find some of the changes made to the show distressing. Changing things up is all well and good, but some of this just feels wrong.

The lukewarm response in here kinda made me cautious, but its really fun so far.. the character is charming, and I like the color.. the sakuga at the end of eps 2 is awesome too, damn this show had pretty messed up power level.
I like the OST too between this and Aldnoah Zero, I enjoy Sawano's work lately, mainly for the main theme, he can made pretty memorable main theme and fast to stick.. still his vocal track is fucking terrible.

I'm enjoying it too. It feels like an older anime in new colors. It's not a bad thing but the constant no-shame pervertedness of the MC reminds me of Dragon Ball and its tone. Looking forward to more though, very solid first two episodes.
