Have you seen Parasyte?

How is that even remotely as melodramatic as Shikatsu. Don't even think I've seen someone complain about melodrama in Parasyte yet.
I wonder, are you really Izumi Shinichi?
Maybe it's because I've forgotten most of series 1, but I do feel Psycho Pass 2 is much better than the first series. Probably helps that they cut out all the quoting (though that didn't exactly help my planned reading list). That and of course Akane is how she should have been the whole time.
Psycho Pass 10
They keep going on about Sybyl's one flaw while seemly ignoring the many other flaws it has.

I was sort of confused by the term "Girlyboy" but then I got it after the episode went on. I guess they didn't want to use a term that is considered offensive like "trap" but actually saying a crossdressing boy that looks like a girl doesn't exactly describe it and is a bit long. That aside, a decent episode with some funny moments and it sort of prolonged the plot point I figured would happen this episode

Sums it up well.
IF I KILL EVERYONE NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER! I am not sure this is the greatest of plan even if you do discover the entire universe is actually existing inside literal hell comprise entirely of creature out of kill humanity. Actually, hold that. Tougo might be onto something here. I'm really not sure what your other plan of action here is beside hoping you can give everyone a quick death rather than them suffering. Not to mention the situation their in is totally not sustainable.

a) yes and b) that question in itself was always justified, she should've mixed up her wording once in a while though to sound less obnoxious. But if that's melodrama on the level of Shigatsu for you, sure...
edit:
In the meantime, cue a thousand of these:

The King of Braves: GaoGaiGar episode 18
I do enjoy the heavier sense of continuity this Brave series has over other incarnations.
So far I would certainly put this above most in the Brave series.
I do enjoy the heavier sense of continuity this Brave series has over other incarnations.
The constant and unrelenting Zonder battles have been wearing down Guy to the breaking point, which seems to be this episode, as they enact a bit of misdirection to get him to use his Hell and Heaven technique on a false core which apparently has caused Neo-Tokyo to explode, or at least a section of it.
Have to admit I'm surprised by all the hate given how much I liked it (and people I discussed it with when it aired).
Hell I admired the newgame+ approach it took, which I don't think I'd seen before.
Was this episode really directed by that Imazaki Itsuki dude? Man, I loved the artstyle and the change in tone.
I should probably watch Ai Mai Mi at some point.
This show was an unexpected delight. Its so so cute.

Shin Sekai Yori - 01
Haven't seen this since it originally aired, so I don't remember any details from last time. First thing I've got to say, this show feels really unique. Knowing that this is going to pay off is really exciting. The animation is superb, the voice acting is top notch, and the plot so far is unlike anything I've seen before. Characters all seem really worth investing, even the side characters.
Let's carry on.

Suzuka 13-20ish - MC still acting like a fuckwit. MC breaks up with childhood friend, but childhood friend still thinks things will work out in the future. Now Suzuka's best friend is getting friendly with the MC. I've seen this before. This ends with a boat and the MC's head in a duffle bag.

Well I haven't noticed a drop in quality yet. More world building, more ominous occurrences, and more cat shadows.
One thing I have to say is that so far this show really likes to throw around huge date ranges, and it's really made me unable to grasp the connection between any of them, how they're supposed to tie to eachother, and what time frame the main story is supposed to be in. And when they go in and out of focus so much it kind of hurts my eyes. But I get why.

Psycho Pass 2 10
Hey remember Kogami?
Well here he is except not because Akane is just talking to herself like a crazy person. Why isn't her hue clouded? And did I miss something or did Kirito-kun know that Sibyl is just a bunch of brains? How did he know that?
Episode was just Akane explaining shit we already knew.
Next episode is the last one but there's no crazy dumb plan like Hyper Oats.
Shirobako 10
That director skill. Both in drawing and in drinking.
Follow your dreams and all that. Episode had a good message, I really like this cast of characters despite being only 10 episodes in and having a lot of characters. I'm glad this is 2cour to say the least.

Chocotto Sister Advent Calendar Day 11
"What's a suicide?"
I can't escape that in any of my shows today. So Haruma sacrificed his own happiness so Ayano could be happy, and Chitose has yet to work up the courage to confess. This show has a lot more complicated romance than I was expecting, and Choco's here on the sidelines watching it, barely understanding how it plays out. Not to mention that Makoto missed all the fun. The show's certainly going in a different direction than I thought it'd go when I first picked it up, but it's not a bad one either.
Yomiko and Nancy are back! The reason why they're gone hasn't been fully disclosed, but they act the same as ever. A natural fit with the Paper Sisters, and the yuri level between Yomiko and Nenene is pretty strong. The heroes turning into fugitives is an angle I've seen before (like in Samurai Flamenco), but it feels more like an American action movie here. Sort of, I mean, you still have Anita being cute. That Fahrenheit 451 scene was too harsh to watch. Book-burning and Anita being moved to tears? Not cool.

So they've finally unveiled the curtain.
I can't help but wonder what alternatives are available to the Shinju. It seems it's pretty much make the girls fight the vertex or let the vertex in so they can kill the remaining humans. I understand Togo's suffering but if the Shinju is gone then everyone dies, at least that seems to be her current plan but I'm hoping there's more to it than that that they are saving for the next episode.

Shits getting real now, with the obvious reveal of the threat in space and them coming into play. I never watched Turn A but from what I know, it's getting closer to connecting U.C.-R.C.-C.C. I think.
Mask and Klim Nick team up next episode so it's guaranteed to be an absolutely beautiful event.

Well i agree on everything , especially the end.
lelouch did some duymb things but he was without a doubt the most sane person in this show that isn't C.C everyone else, if i could i would have slapped them several times untill their cheeks would be red. They deserve it
No one can replicate code geass , it's that special .. That special blend of excellent voice acting , intresting setting , great mecha animation and CRZAY at every turn. the way Geass leave some plot threads on the ground only for it to explose on everyone just as you're about to forget those things were there. The landslide and those effects , "Orange" ( goddamn Orange that move was brillant ) , euphemia , the dumb suzaku ..at somepoint everything was so Up there no amount of explanation would have satisfied anyone. And it didn't. when the truth happenned , nobody was happy , but that too was fine because geass , just went into something crazier for a finale nobody was able to top .
Yeah Geass is "that" good. It's not just a good anime , it's good because it's not a good anime. And yeah that sentence is perfect to summarize code geass.
FMP is a good show but this season , while good still has some holes that prevented it from being great. Don't get me wrong , i love the characters and gauron is damn awesome but it's missing that "something" ..but don't worry , the next stuff is freaking great.
It was bad since 3 episodes ago. Felt like they ran out of budget. ( or someone inside might ruin the production ) ..ok ok i might have watched too much shirobako ...but still i can only hope they have enough stamina to bnot butcher the finale..
let us hope.

Don't say "stop" , you know you want it to continue.
We all know you're at the edge of your seat !!!
Well Ghoda is really good at what he does.
I love the character because you know the guy is not a good guy , it's obvious , heck the anime adresses this in the first meeting, but regardless you can't counter the manipulation.. he is that good ans that's what make him intresting , he is competent , even when people are expecting him. The hability of a great character.
I wasn't thrilled either when it was airing , it had potential but it didn't grab me much.
I waited more to see if that potential coudl make something good. I wasn't let down .
And you're still enjoying every second.Shin Sekai Yori 20
Bastards are dragging this out.
You might have found some foreign votes in there
Like half of its synonyms are negative. Melodrama in itself doesn't have to be bad, but it's often a sign of lazy storytelling. Your Lie in April is a heavy example of melodrama fitting a work poorly. The subject matter and world are grounded, but emotionally the show just feels unhinged. It's hard to have peaks and valleys when characters seem to cry multiple times an episode, or always seem to be on edge. Inner turmoil is primarily derived through outrageous examples of trauma, dampening the show's human element. This has repercussions across the show. In terms of presentation, the series is extremely reflective, drowning in thought monologues and flashbacks that span the entire cast. This style slows momentum by limiting cross character interactions, but the show's melodramatic interpretation of trauma truly brings everything to a halt, and viewers are left watching the show try to dissect bizarre caricatures. Trapped inside the character's heads these self conscious nightmares are blown up even further, turning to grating and eventually comical as characters struggle to cope with outrageous events. I think the last episode had almost no dialogue, and when it did that dialogue took place in a flashback.
You might have found some foreign votes in there
The more, the merrier. Hoping for a lone vote from North Korea as well.
the dates do have some relevance to world building but its more the details you should pay attention to.
the show is intentionally disorienting at this point. You know what the characters know and thats not much.
And we have the catalyst.
