It seems every Noitamina show I like ends up being super panned by animegaf, while the ones I don't like are considered AOTY material.
Didn't you like Bunny Drop?
I still like PsychoPass despite its occasional pretentious exposition

Already watching it and loving it!
Watching Gintama, JJBA, Psycho Pass, and Ixion Saga DT this season. I was watching Shin Sekai, but I'm probably gonna drop it if I don't like this upcoming episode.
Its ok Ducky, I still love you.

Yeah, I also liked Tsuritama, Thermae Romae, and Shiki. But I also liked [C], Guilty Crown, Black Rock Shooter, the two currently airing shows while I disliked Hataraki Man, Nodame Cantabile, Mononoke, Trapeze, Princess Jellyfish, Wandering Son, Un-Go, and Kids on the Slope.
Newtamina is back baby!
Admittedly I haven't seen episode 7 for PP yet, but now is the time to get some pre-emptive shots in. Gotta strike while the iron is hot and all that. I thought the previous two episodes were quite strong, and I also like the show overall, so I'm interested to see what has made duckroll kill himself. How exciting!

Any particular reason you didn't like Kids on the Slope? I heard a lot of hype about the show, and watched the first episode, but I forgot all about it until now.
we came for the promise of jazz music, we got teenage melodrama as the focus
Also Chuunibyo, Tonari no Kaibutsu kun, and JoJo have all been amazing.

It's just not for me. I don't find jazz and boys love interesting. It also doesn't help that I'm not a huge Watanabe fan, the only thing I've really like of his being Samurai Champloo.
Chuunibyou is a huge step down from Hyouka.
Kids on the Slope isn't boys love. Don't make up things about a show just because you don't like it.

It was just a joke. I don't think anyone really believes it's BL.
Chuunibyo isnt boring for half the series like Hyouka.

Guess it's probably not for me then. I thought the Jazz band thing sounded interesting, but I'm not a big fan of shows with romance as a major focus.
But, then again, I did like Fruits Basket and the Kuragehime manga.
Well the former 2 arn't really "high profile", there wasn't much hype behind either.
I know one person
Who cares if they were high profile or not.
Whatever that even means.
They have been great shows.

wait what happened? psycho pass went shit within 1 eps?
well fuck you duckroll.
well fuck you duckroll.
But boys love is in the eye of the beholder. You don't even need to ship them out like yuri. Merely having two boys in the same room as each other is enough to spawn countless slash fiction all across the world.
Females don't have hentai, after all.
Why must you reopen old wounds?
I don't think I've ever been more angry at a squandered opportunity than when
they ignored Tiger's disappearing power and that Lunatic guy's backstory

Treasure Island episode 26 and Treasure Island Memorial.
Yeah, that was a pretty good series.
Yeah, that was a pretty good series.
Kind of soon to say that it won't be boring for the whole series.
Sure, but I'm just saying that they don't qualify with what he was talking about.
You might also enjoy Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick. It has a similarly awesome captain, as seen below:
Medaka Box Abnormal 7
Yep, this was certainly another episode of the incredibly insane Medaka Box. They really have nailed Naze's voice which definitely helps make the really silly back and forth between her and Maguro incredibly entertaining. Next episode should be awesome as usual.

Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still
Well he said Hyouka was high profile but it wasnt either.
Other than it being KyoAni which would also make Chuunibyo high profile.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it.
I'll probably watch more Cobra when I'm in the mood for more Dezaki stuff though.
Hyouka had significantly more hype behind it...this seems like a rather pointless argument.
Cobra is certainly good stuff as well.

Robotics;Notes 7
Oh shit, stuff is finally happening. I assume we're finally reaching the "shit hits the fan" moments that the science series is so known for (and takes so long to get to).
Also got some development for Frau, which is nice. She's still the best character this season.

I don't know if Magi should be included since only the first 3 episodes were disappointing. Everything since has been adequate-great. Didn't take as long as Hyouka to get good.

I expected Fujiko to be great because I thought, "Mari Okada can't fuck up Lupin. It's just fun episodic adventures, after all. You just need a new crazy idea per episode and the story will practically write itself!".
Lol, optimism.
Lol, optimism.
Fujiko was like stepping into a beartrap. It is almost meaningless to say another show didn't turn out to be as rotten as it.
Famous last words.
More proof that this isn't a very good season.
Medaka Box Abnormal Episode 07
Oh God yes.
That line was so much better here with Sawashiro.
More back-story and lots of dialogue in this episode, which I personally enjoyed since I really like Naze's character a lot. Next episode should be pretty fun.

Wait, Ano Hana is getting a film and it will be told from Menma's POV? Well, I'm sure they'll make sure all the ghost stuff is logical and consistent now that it's the entire focus of the story.
The ending is the kind of thing that makes the preceding episodes actively worse.

I don't really regret watching episodes 1 and 5 of Fujiko, they were pretty good as self-contained Lupin stories. Still, it's hard to look back at them and not think of all the other bullshit that came along. And the way Sayo Yamamoto actually tried to pretend that the show is like the Monkey Punch manga.

This is good. It's not special, but the way they balance the humor and the dramatic elements is surprisingly competent stuff. The dilemmas are readily identifiable and the sentimentality rarely dips into the kind of maudlin excess you might expect. I came for smut and :kanna and came out feeling a surprising amount of feels.
Sorry but I can't even root for Kanna anymore.

Sucking isn't the word I'd use, Pyscho Pass and Robotics Notes aren't terrible, just mediocre and either of them could still end up being better than that. It's nothing compared to the Guilty Crown/Black Rock Shooter duo from earlier in the year.
