Dennou Coil A Circle of Children
According to my old memories, the body I was given was an empty shell, without life.
For the first 13 episodes,
According to the words of Yuuko Amasawa, the path, that connects human beings each other, is so thin and easy to break.
From the light hearted
Overall, Dennou Coil was an amazing series, one of the best I watched recently.
...when cyber pets die they migrate to a certain place.

Dennou Coil is like a terrific journey of discovery, filled with wonderful and imaginative designs, as the writers build a world setting that is at the same time fantastic yet believable. The sizable cast is introduced and character relationships established, all in a world that manages to seem alive, thanks to the subtly detailed animation. The battle between Isako and the Hackers Club plus Fumie, and the beard illegals episode were the highlight of this section of the show to me, then in the Plesio episode we have a major shift from the light hearted tone of the first half of the series to a heavier second half...

From the light hearted
to life and death situations that Haraken, Yasako and Isako found themselves in towards the end of the series. You can notice a difference in the way how different characters act and react. You realize that characters like Fumie and Daichi, who haven't experienced a traumatic incidence, hold a more simplistic outlook on the events that happen throughout the story, such as Fumie refusing to believe the rumoured other side, and Daichi asking Isako to return ownership of his Hackers Club amidst more serious issues. On the other hand, characters such as Haraken and Isako, act with more maturity. They think more critically and are less likely to believe what they are told. They question authority and are more rebellious. One particular moment that stood out was when Isako broke down at Yasakos home, this girl, who endured so much, has finally lost it, her brother dead, she's being charged as the sole responsible for all the accidents and has no one she can trust. It was to me a very well written moment that made her more realistic to me.
Nekome and his lack of character development make it impossible to empathize with him at all, he and Satchii(CG) were the low point of the series to me.
I was convinced of why the kids were so attached to the world of cyber glasses. They are kids. For them, whatever they see is everything. And the anime did make a good statement about reality vs. illusion and the realization of these two worlds by the children as they grow up, the connections they made in the cyber world and the real world were real to then, as long as they could feel it. Densuke ;____;

Or the manga thread where people have been talking about it.
I've really got to watch past Episode 5 lol

bad gameplay lol
Man. This is just the best ED. Always makes me tear up just a bit. Shame it was only used in two episodes.
Please.
Can DTL confirm?

Good choice.
Attack on Titan OP
Fantastic OP, both visually and musically and one of the best in the last few seasons. I have already listened to it over 20 times. Just so good. I suppose I could watch the anime, but I don't see the point since I already read the manga.
Red Data Girl 1
First episode was rather bland and boring. I mean sure there was some mystery, but the anime completely failed at grabbing my attention to bother watching the second episode. It wasn't that terrible, but at this point why bother? Odds are it will turn out crap ad I would have just wasted my time with it.
Devil Survivor 2 - 1
This was such a badly constructed episode. All these small chitchats between the characters are so bad and the infodumps don't really help. I don't know, I only played the game for few hours so I'm not a huge fan of it and I see nothing compelling in the show to make me continue watch it. However I am watching it with a friend so I really can't drop it even though I want to. Let's hope it just improves in the later episodes.
Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san 1-2
Lovely animations, nice absurd and crazy humour. Plus with 10 mins running time, I don't think I can complain that much about the pacing. As long they keep up the crazy antics I will keep watching.
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU 1
Fuck Brains Base. Fuck the entire light novels industry. Fuck everything about this anime.
Oreimo S2 1-2
The second episode was much stronger than the first due to the focus on the dating sim game and what it does to people. If there are more of these type of episodes, I will be down, but I know the show will go into serious drama mode just like the first season and end up being bad.
Yuyushiki 1
I can see this end up getting boring pretty fast. No need to continue with it.
Aiura 1
Well I can certainly waste my 3 mins on worse things, but this anime has some good background art so might as well keep watching it.
I think that's about everything that got my attention. Overall average season with nothing outstanding. Well there is Aku no Hana left so maybe that will be good.

Wait, SNAFU is Brains Base?
THAT'S why it reminds me of Tonari! Shit makes sense now.

No Karneval?! or Valvrave? Youre missing the standout anime of the season, and possibly year.
That seems like a weird decision to me, especially since the anime has new material.
I don't think SNAFU is that terrible.
Muromi-san 1-2
Haha. Levia-san = Leviathan
Cute show so far. While the humor doesn't work for me a lot of the time (i get a slight Nyaruko-san vibe from it but it's nowhere near as obnoxious nor plagued by constant references), the show has a certain unique charm to it and it helps that it's consistently well animated. The whole texting bit gave me a good laugh and I honestly wasn't expecting all these random history lessons either. Also, holy crap the OP is pretty amazing too.

I want you to please imagine that I have just kicked you right between the legs.
I whole heatedly agree. One of the finest animes I had the pleasure to enjoy. Also, that Animation is yet to be topped. Fantastic work all around and one series that I have hard time finding any flaws in it.
Too bad they haven't localised it and and Iso is out of commission
So its a sports Anime, gotcha!

Hayate no Gotoku! Cuties - 02
Almost certain this one were another two random chapters animated, can't remember...whatever next we have Fumi-chan and Armageddon.

Is Hikaru no Go worth watching?
Tumblr gifs are more than enough for me when it comes to Karneval. As for Valvrave, well I don't watch mecha anime and this one won't be any different.
Are we getting FMA level of new content? I'm just not a huge fan of the manga story to go through it twice.
Probably not FMA level, but episode 2 was at least 50% entirely new content and the other 50% was greatly expanded from the manga. Plus they seem to be telling the story in chronological order.
GET HYPE! GET HYPE!
For someone with your personal tastes? Absolutely. I seem to recall it having less terminology than something like Saki so it should be easy enough to follow.
The ending is pants mind.
Edit: I should possibly explain this before I go to bed; it's first off a fairly acceptable "sports"-esque series about Go which is pretty fun to watch. Secondly, from everything I've seen, there seems to be very little female characters involved and most of the fan related things I have heard about tend towards the yaoi persuasion. Also, always remember that Sai is a guy because that shit is confusing in the manga when there is no voice actor to judge it by.

If it doesn't have at least 3 Jellal jokes, it wouldn't be worth watching.
You'll ship everyone in that show, so yes.

Thanks, Hikaru no Go sounds perfect, will definitely check it out.
Mushibugyo 2
Jinbei is incredible. His voice and personality, excitement and so polite and into things is really refreshing for leads for the entire season. I just cant stop smiling and just feeling all happy when he is speaking, or when he spoke much of this episode, and the adoration of Mugai-dono. Fun episode.

Darker than Suou 12 (END)
Don't worry, the show practically retcons itself out of existance in the final episode. Kind of like Eureka Seven AO!
RDG: Red Data Girl #5 - I forgot to take screenshot, but it's 220p anyway
Well, this episode was, quite honestly, complete shit. They resolved the previous "arc" in 5 seconds and in the most anticlimactic way possible, not to mention the introduce like 3-4 characters in the same episode the worst way possible.
And the romance fucking sucks.
