Switched is a strong word, MAL for the most part loads faster and works better and has MALgraph. Other than the titles policy I have a really hard time thinking of what Hummingbird does better. That said I've been using Canonical because defaults, titles even on MAL never bothered me that much.
Utena 18
This arc so far has been feeling rather rigid. While so far its always been a pretty structured show the focus on expanding previous relationships, while a good thing in theory, kind of drains some of the freshness out of it. If Touga ends up being one of the victims of the black rose duelists than that might be interesting because it most likely means bringing back Saionji somehow. Also kind of weird how Chummy Utena has been getting with Himemiya's brother.
It's a fairly transitional arc. Starts the change in the show's tone, goes more deeply into characters to set up things, and then has a really nice payoff.

So why did hummingbird become something in the last 24 hrs? Someone here worked on it?
See even Hummingbird users have great tastes!
She is quite wonderful.
Somebody first brought it up in the last 24 hours. Pent-up demand and easy migration create moves like this.

Yu-Gi-Oh S0 1
This is hideously ugly, so ugly I'll save your eyes by refraining from posting any screenshots. The color design is hideously garish in that early digital way, especially all the black shading which does not work at all. There's also some nonsensical layouts. That said, there were a few nice direction touches which surprised me, such as the pan out through the keyhole when Yuugi is working on the puzzle in his room. I also liked the transition to and from the eyecatches.
The content itself is somewhat appealing though. I never got into CCGs, so this initial version of the series with its variety of games is considerably more attractive to me than what it later became. Also, bullying stories like this strike a cord with me. The Yami Game at the end reminded me of Hell Girl, a guilty pleasure of mine. I'll probably be able to get some enjoyment out of this. At the least, at only 27 episodes this won't be another Law of Ueki situation.
The Jewelpet franchise as a whole is aimed primarily at 6-8 year old girls, but a lot of what Kira Deco does will fly straight over their heads. (They even reference some 70s Japanese pop song.) I'm not sure if the creators were aiming with the absurdity to entertain the parents watching along or if they were just making something they would want to watch themselves. Though I guess that could work out to the same thing.

So I take it the audience is the duck.

I'm not sure how I feel about getting this title.
Sounds like MLP.

Jun Maeda's life lessons need to be experienced by all.
A quick 15-second CM for Kimi no Iru Machi:

Just a brief character overview for now.
Looks like the official site got a refresh too.

Hataraku Maou-sama! 09
Man, the girls are all kinds of rude here. None of them deserve Maou-sama.

The Devil is a Part Timer 1:
That was pretty funny. I enjoy the setup, and once they get past the initial stuff, there's some really funny moments in the work place, and some really nice comic timing. There were some really funny overreactions to work place problems, and it was funny seeing Maou really getting into everything. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

D'aaaaaaaaaw. Kagari, I didn't know you cared!
I'll give you that that was an awful design. I was underwhelmed that it was the last mech boss of S1.
You know, I tried to watch Linebarrels of Iron because TVTropes recommended it, but the opening 5 minutes didn't suit me. Maybe later, when I'm desperate, and need something to stop me from watching Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean.
I keep feeling this way about Sword Art Online, except I don't know that I could live up to Firehawk's legacy of hate for that show. But part of me reaaaaaally wants to see what all the fuss is about.
I'm straight up avoiding OreImo, though.
I support you watching it and posting impressions here.
The Big O S2 - 05
This is best episode ever.
Dorothy being awesome
Roger got trolled
And this reference.
So good.
Beck's like this unsung hero of Big O. His three or so episodes were entertaining.
I'm thinking about watching it when I'm done with Slayers, but I dunno. I need to consolidate the number of shows I'm watching.

And then after reviewing each episode, review firehawk's reviews of those episodes.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
You are only making me afraid. ;_;
Please watch SAO Corvo, I'll forgive your RahXephon hate then.
I actually not liking his second episode, but this was ace.

What's the mandate thing? Must've missed it.
Don't be. It's different but good.
It's going to be jarring. No way around it, but like I said in the next post, it still produces episodes that can hang with the best of S.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
I'm not sure what to feel about this.
Haha, yes, it's fake. The line on my actual feed page is the correct one. It's the time between the day of the first Sailor Moon dub episode airing and the time I put that in.
True that:
I need to read those posts again. Anyone have them on hand?

I'm not an MLP expert, having only seen one episode, but I think you could make that comparison, only Jewelpet Kira Deco is more manic and random. Like MLP, it reminds me somehow of the cartoons I used to watch growing up in the 90s.
It does seem up your alley.
We need to go closer.
The character designs do look pretty good, except for that girl at the end who has the worst expression.
Don't drag me into this!
I quite enjoyed Mad Pierrot's La storia della Arcana Famiglia ending impressions.
Yeah. I was hatewatching it with a friend, and it was funny at first, but eventually I just started to get really upset and I just had to drop it. It was upsetting to watch.
...How did that happen?
Can this be Kirbyguy's tag, Kagari? We've been in a pretty terrible tagging drought here since Hitokage abdicated ;_;
Wow. Haruto in that clips looks like shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

SAO represents everything that is wrong with anime. I can get more enjoyment staring at the sun for 20 mins then watching that vile garbage.
Well, yeah, staring at the sun for 20 minutes will give you an experience that lasts a lifetime.
