Sparrow's Hotel is the worst show this season.

Proof, if proof were needed, that the Attack on Titan music goes with anything and the fact that the Attack on Titan OP works at all is solely down to this music.

I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't enjoying this show. Definitely fun to watch. Love how the characters act :3

Let me rephrase that.
Short, good anime is the best anime for those of us with busy schedules. I suppose it's also good for those of us who find unnecessary padding to be tiresome, for example as all these short works have shown that perhaps a comedy anime doesn't need to have episodes that are 22 minutes long.

Well, that certainly took a turn. I think I'm sticking with this one (was debating dropping it). The characters are too adorable. Seriousness, Comedy, or both, its entertaining at the very least.
DokiDoki Precure: 11
New toy time! It at least didn't feel too tacky or out of place, so I think it worked. Next episode should be interesting, though.
I don't know, but at least I don't have long to wait to find out since I fell behind on watching this.

Was that a dark precure of sorts?

You should prepare the resolve within yourself needed to push through some of the weaker moments and inconsistencies that plague the show. If it didn't have such a satisfying conclusion I'd have more trouble recommending it.

Alright start for the new arc, though using ants as the premise, guess Ill need to see in action as it seems odd, though why so strong for the normal one. Killua Gon moments were great and then the one with Young Kite Young Ging too.

Didnt like that Ging had that Accompnay/Magnetic Force thing as it feels awkward for a point and kind of goes against what the genre and demographic would want in the anime. Shouldnt Gon make it to seeing Ging with the help of his friends, Then again it doesnt seem like Ging has anyone with him either, but still, teamwork friendship above single individual strength and perseverance please. Will be massively disappointed if Gon will have to leave Killua at some point just to pursue Ging

I preordered it so it'd ship when it came out, but I didn't chose the fastest shipping. ^^; Love the concert!

Of the past shorts, I thought the only real one that worked for comedy was Senyuu, while Ishida & Asakura, and now Sparrow's Hotel, have failed to really highlight that short anime can actually work.

I'll lift the veil for you - it's quite often all passion. Usually the passion to draw cute girls.

That's just ging being shy .
If thats the case Cajun could probably draw a 1 cour show by himself given by his power level of cute.

There's not really that many major anime distributors these days.
Mail came today!
Last night I had a dream where I was walking to take a test, but along the way I walked through a crowd of people dancing to some shitty country song, but the song was about Hatsune Miku. Even in the dream I was like "The fuck?"
Don't mind me, just sharing an anecdote. Move along.

Patlabor: Early Days - Episode 3
I should have known when Ohta was using Baltan as target practice that this was going to be something special. I'm guessing that this is based on the same story that movie 3 used as it's basis just to a more hilarious effect. There was also an episode of Big O that shares some similar ideas but i have no idea if that's a coincidence or some of the same staff worked on Big O.
Wasn't really expecting the lighter tone but i'm really enjoying the OVA's so far.
Well, of course, it's also a bit of a Godzilla parody:

I'll just quote myself from the Shingeki thread.
But to narrow things down, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012) is a great place to start.

Damn, I didn't even realise that the Attack on Titan OP has 1.5 million views on YouTube, see here Now, it's certainly foolish to extrapolate the popularity of a series with any certainty based on the popularity of the OP on YouTube but that seems to be far more hits than any other series. Does all this mean that Attack on Titan is one of those rare hits that breaks outside of the usual anime viewing circle? If so, I really I hope it doesn't go down the shitter.
Alternatively, people might just really like the music.

Meh. That was really boring. Glad these episodes are short, I still enjoy the show because it looks great but these side characters are not interesting at all.

A School Days OT? Really?
"Data processing" is just a fancy way of saying "wasting time on the Internet". It's very relatable!
Well, you never know.
A short length can work really well for comedies, so that there doesn't need to be too much downtime between gags, but at the same time something can be so short that it really isn't able to accomplish much, such as Aiura.

Was it really that popular in the west, at least glancing around lots of people didnt even know it was a manga, until after encountering the anime.

I don't really really follow you, as you seem to be ignoring both the quality of the adaptation and the potential for a work to attract new audiences. Magi was a popular manga, do you see the anime series achieving a comparable level of success?
It also depends on if you believe that most of the popularity of the series comes down from those who have already read the manga. But is that necessarily the case? Were there hundreds of thousands of people people following the scans? There are plenty of people in the official thread who haven't touched the manga. I can't see how you would know for sure.
I think I saw some screencaps and it was very... ecchi. So I'm not interested watching it anymore. T_T

I was going to give you some answers, but I feel like everyone else has already covered most of the bes titles to start with.

Now this is a show I can get behind.
I'm pretty sure the entire OP phenomena revolves around how "awesome" and "crazy" the song is. That's not the say the anime isn't actually popular, but the popularity of the show itself isn't really much of a surprise at all considering how the manga is without a doubt the most popular thing in Japan out of any source material or franchise in any other anime which started this season. An average volume of the Shingeki manga in Japan sells over 800k copies.
Lol, Magi is not a "popular manga" by any means before or after the anime. It's a manga which MangaGAF liked. It doesn't sell shit. Shingeki is the most popular new manga series in Japan along with Silver Spoon. It's not remotely comparable.
Magi isn't as popular as AoT though. The latter is more well-known., people are overestimating Magi's popularity.
Of course the anime's quality helps but I'm just saying that AoT has a wider fanbase to begin with so that's why I'm not surprised to see how successful it is now!

How to tell you're an MC of a haremshit.
There's also a sliding panty shot, this show is truly at the forefront of innovation.

Find it very enjoyable, emotionless needing to express what she's feeling through more outwardly means is fun to see.

Zetsuen no Tempest 18-24 END
I kinda lost interest and stopped watching it a while back, though I was still curious thought should finish what I started...
I still enjoyed it for completely different reasons than the beginning part :\ really liked the characters but the story was shit. The story in the manga is different/goes beyond this ending? maybe I check that out some day.
The best part was by far the fantastic soundtrack, if it ever hits itunes I would buy.
I haven't paid attention, how did it sell btw? I'm guessing not good...

The Unlimited Hyobo Kyousuke 2
That little background about Kyousuke and P.A.N.D.R.A was interesting and a big improvement from the first episode when they didn't bother to explain much of anything. Seems like the animation gets bumped up some whenever Kyousuke decides to power up. Not complaining that much since it does look cool, but I'm going to guess I'm not going to be seeing that much.
Pretty sad if the rest of the cast don't get their due screentime since I'm really warming up to them and their powers like Yoh's sound and Momiji teleport (2nd Favorite power). Andy though needs to get his priorities in order because he's doing a awful job at being a undercover agent.
Muromi OP has better direction and animation than the Titan OP.

bad gameplay lol
Same here. I definitely wasn't prepared for how good it is.
I've been putting off watching the second episode of SNAFU. I want to give it at least one more episode but it just seems so boring.
