Gotta finish Mushi-shi for MrJeff first. Maybe I'll have grown out of my evilness later and can come up with something.

How far did you get? I'll probably start watching more once all my finals are over.
Oh. Then I just don't like the show.
honestly the Japanese voicework kinda sucks too
Just a handful of episodes in. Nanowrimo came up and I wanted to finish Strike Witches 2 for Zach and Big Hero 6 for duckroll first.
I think the dub is better than the sub actually.
Who is doing it this year?
Oh damn what? Looks like I'll actually have to buy something.

Inou Battle 9
Not really a whole lot for me to say here other than I'm glad things are finally progressing on the the romance side. Go go Hatoko! Also couldn't help but notice they sure don't use their super powers much and I don't get the over-reaction about the MC using his worthless power.

I Can't Understand Want My Husband is Saying might be just as good, if not better, in my opinion. Really heartfelt with believable characters.
Yandere childhood friend chances = 0%
You also never got to see what Andou's power is.
You have to believe in the osananajimi.
They're always the best, never give up hope no matter how bad the situation.
So have you watched Silver Fang for the potential gifs or just grabbed it from Jexhius?

Damn, one hell of a go-away gif.
Meanwhile casual readers of this thread: "So Hyouka should go to my 'should not watch' list and it appears I should check out the highly praised Cross Ange next."

Chaika s2 is whacky because it sometimes feels like Bones didn't realize they only had 10 episodes or they kept forgetting as you'll have episodes like the most recent one that feel incredibly rushes InuYasha Final Act style, then you'll have other ones like the episode before this where the pacing is very slow and methodical setting up this bigger arc that has to be resolved in 1-2 episodes.
The fact all the Chaika's are still involved even after learning they are fake isn't really a problem though. Both had it basically ingrained from childhood "you are chaika and you must collect the emperor's remains for x reason". The series could have done more with both chaikas losing there sole reason/purpose to exist before deciding to continue on anyways for whatever reason. With only 10 episodes though and with the wonk pacing we've had I can get why most of this has been skipped over, but then again we've had plenty of scenes that could have been trimmed to make room for this.
This season really should have been 12-13 episodes they clearly had enough content to do so.

It's a problem because the show just hand waived it away. There was absolutely no reason for the main chaika and her crew to go to this tournament or continue to gather the remains. The aftermath of the island arc was bungled.
Gundam Build Fighters Try 9 cont.
The fight itself was alright, probably the best since the first few episodes, but there is a real lack of excitement for what's going on. It's the first time since the beginning that Sekai has used his Burning mode yet it's against some random team of rich kids who were only introduced properly a few episodes ago. Suga and his "Jigen Haoh won't work on me" talk amounted to nothing because Sekai apparently trained with Shimon and Gyanko off-screen and was able to learn some new techniques that were able to easily deal with Suga's martial arts skills. At this point in the story of the original (the final of the smaller tournament) we had seen how Reiji wanted to grow as a fighter and his intense training with the Italian Gundam fighter, Ricardo Fellini that led to an astounding and action packed rematch between the duo and Tatsuya Yuuki's Zaku Amazing. But where's the excitement, strong friendships and intense rivalries here? We're about to head to the World Championship and we know absolutely nothing about any of the fighters that might show up there. And the next episode is a beach episode and while I wasn't a big fan of that in the original season, I'm sure they'll manage to make it even worse the second time around.

Why you gotta break my heart, TUSR?
Oh so his power actually did something? Interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if it revealed their feelings or something silly like that.

Do you think he was working to get his job done on schedule or playing in 1080p on his monitor ?
I think it's implied that his power now has an use but the side effects are now too extreme so it shouldn't be used.
I want to said "But (Japanese) PS4 has no games" but since he have white PS4, that only means he play Destiny all the time.
I really like the character animation and art direction in the opening scenes. The CG stuff in the ship battles is pretty lol, but typical for Yamato 2199. The Gatlantis commander looks pretty damn badass though!

Gundam Build Fighters Try Episode 9:
Ah yes, so at last we have reached the regional finals and the big showdown with Team G-Master, the regional rival that they have spent a good episode and a half building up as a great nemesis. I am pleased that all did not go to waste as Team G-Master proves to be the most tenacious team opponent yet, taking our heroes to the limit and forcing them to use pretty much the full arsenal. Also, that ending was booked perfectly. Gold star Build Fighters Try, though please try to keep the Tomino sensibilities on the Tomino show, we really didn't need the casual slapping. Also, I am personally getting tired of the Slap, Slap, Kiss trope.

To prepare for AotY 2014:
Bonus: Watch Xenoglossia. You can't vote for it, but just watch it any way.
- Watch iDOLM@STER to familiarise yourself with characters
- Watch the iDOLM@STER movie and vote for it as your OVA/Movie of the Year!
- Then watch Puchimas S1 for more iM@S goodness.
- Watch Puchimas S2 which you can then vote for as your AotY!

TBF Sekai had been training throughout this season and started much earlier than Reji did and most of Reji's stuff was very general with little direct application to the show outside his general competence increasing, which is why the general focal points were Sei's machine. Also don't think we need a direct retread of season one because season one exists.
The greatest issue this show faces is developing it's supporting characters and relationships which really isn't quite there and developing introducing interesting a properly developed rival, that and the fact they should stoping using one big punch t inish off fights, they've done enough of that to last several seasons already.

Best part is that was the pimp slap.
If you're only going to watch one 2014 anime series, watch Ping Pong.
I can support this statement. Will probably be my number one spot for show of the year.

This is how I felt during the summer when you were doing your rewatches before I could make my watchbet!
Considering the fact that it was never licensed, it really must have been just a passin' craze.

Any great Mecha shows that are also great political dramas? (Code Geass doesn't count).
Yes I agree with this. It still holds as my pick for anime of the year.
I can also agree with this.
