Log Horizon S2 - 4 :
It honestly feels a bit jarring to go from the focus on the raid environment and the strategies involved on that front to a more slower paced look into the world of Akatsuki and Akihabara during Christmas. And Akatsuki's shift to a sort of lost puppy waiting for her master mentality along with a growing inferiority complex while comparing herself to a middle schooler of all things was pretty ... interesting as well. Wasn't really until the end of the episode that something interesting happened.

Not sure if it was confirmed at some earlier time but it seems Ore Monogatari is going to be a Madhouse production.

Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society
I feel like SSS would have been better as a third season or at least a series of OVAs. The movie tries to cram so much information with so little screen time and it leaves a bit to be desired. For example, you'd think Togusa
would be kind of a big deal but it just has a one-line mention from Batou and that's it. That said, like most of Stand Alone Complex, this was a fun watch in spite of that and the quality of the animation on Blu-Ray makes me wish Manga would bring the BD for the TV series over here in NA.

getting prosthetics
if they can get the Hanayamata people then we will have maximum shoujo potentials

I'm sure a lot of people want that, but Manga just doesn't seem interested. If it were to happen, I'd guess another company would have to make an agreement with Manga to release them.

Much obliged with the resources! I'll definitely consider getting a MAL account sometime in the near future once I finally amass all my current noteworthy recommendations in a master document. Off the top of my head, I'm currently considering these titles:
- Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (2011)
- Attack on Titan (2013)
- Baccano! (2007)
- Clannad (2007 - 2009)
- Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006 - 2008)
- Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo (2005)
- The Garden of Sinners (2007 - 2013)
- Knights of Sidonia (2014 - 2015)
- Last Exile (2003 - 2012)
- Mushishi (2006 - 2014)
- Psycho-Pass (2012 - 2015)
- Soul Eater (2009)
- Trigun (1998)
I honestly never even heard of the website until I took a glimpse into this thread. It appears to be quite reminiscent of MUBI based on the page features. I have an account with Letterboxd for organizing my general cinema taste, and I'm a bit more inclined toward MyAnimeList with their manga section and extended database, but I'll definitely keep the site in mind for future reference.
Thank you very much, cajunator! I hope others will find the list as appealing for those stumbling for recommendations.

Damn thats actually really cool if true and totally makes sense. I was wondering what would happen
to the Hero system considering the threat still exists and always will. The name of the show kind of implies that as well now that I think about it.
Stupid Yuna :/ At least she technically cant die and wont have to suffer any disabilities herself.
than earlier when I thought it was a total cop out.
Watch these
These are good choices.

Baccano is a must watch for everybody and I'm still happy I was able to snag a limited edition blu-ray set from the US as they seem to have become hard to get in general

Some of the BDs have been released in 2014 overseas. So, like, that kinda counts right?

Good. Remember, for those having trouble finding it, that's WONDER by indepdenet animator Mirai Mizue.
Yeah, they clearly spent their big budget on Sailor Moon Crystal.

Pokemon XY 01
When did the Pokemon Company get a budget? I was legitimately impressed with how well animated this was.

Owari no Seraph has better DTL potential.
This one has Gintama director so it's probably going to have homolust in a self-aware way (like Ixion Saga).

Is that disc region free, or is it locked to B? I'm curious.

PV for the new Kyoani anime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y6B320TbJk

Didn't we already have Garden of Words for the foot fetish?
edit: oh I don't even the first in doing the jokeFinally finished the last couple episodes of Mushi-Shi Season 1 and watched the special as well as the first 3 episodes of Season 2. God dang this show is incredible. I'm really shocked to see such emotional story telling in an anthology format. The show has to rebuild itself each week, yet still manages to grow the emotional attachments to characters it needs to do its job. Really shows the strength of the story telling. Last episode of Season 1 was probably the weakest I've seen so far. Seemed like a bit of a disjointed mess. First episode I really didn't love. Special was absolutely amazing, though, so all was forgiven after that. Just an amazing 40 minutes of television. Really interested to see if they can top that or Ginko's past episode from S1.
Seeing this talked about so much here and in the AOTY really reinforces that I need to check it out.

Amazon.es said to me Region Free.
Am I the only one who thinks Shirabako is not that amazing?
Its good, entertaining with good characters (except for Tarou because fuck that guy), but its yet another slice of Life Anime with nice production. It never did anything special for it to be considered the GOAT Anime. In fact, some episodes felt like fillers and never made any impression on me whatsoever.
Ping Pong, However Is the best Anime ever conceived!

Gotta say I'm pretty surprised.
Director being Ishihara and Hanada on scripts are huge red flags but whatever. I'm really apathetic to this. Feels like the studio is going back to the well.
First, they need stop adapting weak source materials. The likes of Amagi Brilliant park and Chunyobi aren't exactly known fir their good storylines.

Uhhh....Is this something I should watch?
KyoAni changes a bunch of stuff from the source material to begin with.

I only watched the first two episodes. Well done, but It felt to me too much like real life: the anime.
I don't think every anime has to be about fantasy, dragons and laser and giant mechs, of course, but seeing a story about people working (the fact the work itself is anime is less important you may think of), having problems with a coworker because he doesn't do his job well, having a boss which doesn't manage well the projects, being always late in the schedule of the projects and having to rush things, having to do crunch...
Well, it's all passed by the filter of anime production but if you dig the core issues, that's basically every office-worker everyday life. Which includes myself. Except they add discussions about moe and they invest way too much in a silly magical girl anime
.Still, I'm tempted to see how it has advanced in later episodes, if it has found something more unique and idiosyncratic and interesting.
Pupa has gore.
And it's from the director of House of Five Leaves so it's clearly a masterpiece.
I can do this.

Nagi no Asukara - 22
Only 5 minutes in but at this point its clear that Manaka has some kind of memory loss and/or some weirdly childish behavior that wasn't there before...why can't there be some happiness and catharsis already D:
Great show though, am really glad I actually picked this up before the AOTY voting is over.

Watch those two. I'd say watch Kanon 2006 before Clannad, but that's just me though.

This is totally the same Saber from Fate/Zero, totally, lolz.
Pretty good fights, for the first time since Berserker episode this wasn't boring as dirt, even talk talk bits were better because finally things were moving forward a bit. Second half will be far more watchable with Gilgamesh and Kirei more involved and there will be more time for battles and far less for chitchat and bad characters. Maybe it would be good time for 'droppers' to jump back, there is little to no need to catch up on the previous episodes...
