Wandering Son? A bit of a non-ending but I think it works well considering the subject material.

Any exceptional anime this season or are they all pretty mediocre?

Plastic Memories and Danmachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon) are both really good for different reasons.

There are some series I'm enjoying but nothing stands out as particularly exceptional.

I'm waiting for someone to just combine Yeart and the Hestia thing so that I can just give up on anime forever. lol

Poor Hachiman when he was with Haruno. Had to have old wounds be brought up again. ;_; Also:
Definitely like S2 Haruno more than S1.
Kekkai Sensen is pretty good so far; definitely recommend it.

Seraph of the End is tied for best a anime of the season. Refreshingly relevant for the current climate of anime. One of the best written anime Ive seen that adapts the manga excellently.
Kekkai Sensen is pretty dull, badly written plot combined with too complex a storyline for anime makes it hard to follow and just another one of those all flash no substances type of affairs. Avoid.

How did her eye colour change? lol
Blood Blockade Battlefront has an exceptional ED. Ninja Slayer has an exceptional YEAARRT. Hibike Euphonium has exceptional...instruments? It's my favorite of all of them so far though, but I did play in concert band when I was in high school so it's all nostalgia for me.
...so...not really, no.
Owari no Seraph is Attack on Titan with vampires. BBB, aside from the ending, is a big mess of action with a nice soundtrack. It's kind of fun to watch, although the last episode had me laughing at how hard it was trying to make it seem tense.

This is getting really good. Eiichiro will almost certainly lose, but the next two sets should be entertaining.
In other sports anime news, is Ace of Diamond done with recaps yet?

My most hyped show.
I'm so ready.
This upcoming barrage of new Ghibli Ga Ippai Collection titles to be released on the same day (July 17) seems like quite a suddenly excessive task for a completionist collector:

Key thing to note is the first Gauche the Cellist standalone Blu-ray Disc release, outside the recent 'Paku-san box', because the others that were already available on high-definition packages are offered again on said collection specifically as part of the TMS Entertainment 50th anniversary promotion (on moments like this I wish the Mr. Miyazaki episodes at Telecom Animation Film for Lupin the Third 'Red Jacket' series would have had a theatrical version like those Sherlock Hound ones present there had).

it looks like after 3 recap episodes to start off season 2, they are finally going to start making actual episodes again next week.
Fate/Zero for the depressing series, it doesn't get proper dreary until the latter half though.
Love Lab has some a bit of drama but is a great and happy comedy for 95 % of time.

I can't watch it on my work laptop because of IS restriction on streaming video, and the format isn't supported on my phone, seriouely, wtf...
These are Cajun's fav gifs.
Dat Ghibli packaging. I've been waiting for this to come to Blu-ray for what feels like forever, almost gave up on it. Doubt it'll come to the west, and with this being sub only, outside of price there's no reason not to import

Oh hey, Kirara episode. That means I can start giving a shit again. Kirara is easy to bribe. Her agent knows how to handle her. Dysdark isn't one of the friendly groups. Annoying girl of the week. Good enough for comedy. Kirara really doesn't care about her though. I'm with Yui, what's up with Haruka's ribbons? I'm liking her new role of not understanding all the weird stuff. Odd competition, but whatever. Those doughnut descriptions are tame after Koufuku Graffiti. Race is kind of unfair seeing how much taller Kirara is. Super serious doughnut race of life or death. Yeah, I'm with Shut. A TV reporter and an idol are separate things. Doughnut monster popping out was funny. Ranko is a third year? I forgot how short anime people can be. Kirara continues to be the saving grace for this show. Maybe violin lady will provide some much needed interest.

Well...where to start from this early 80s show in Japan. I kinda like the tone of the show. You follow one of the solider Stig whose entire space force from Mars was suppose to save earth from this alien call Inbits. Well, the space force he's fighting with got destroy and also he lost his lover of his life in the battle. Great way to start the show as now you kinda feel sorry for him.
Well, during this 5 episodes, he manage to team up with human survivors who join in the fight against the Inbits. They're all range from one guy who didn't want to fight but tag alone with Stig, a woman who fight alone but eventually join them when realize she's not strong by herself, a female singer who is actually a guy who can fight quite well, and a old man with a girl who is a coward in the past battle (the guy) but want to go back in the fight and a girl who tag alone so she can marry the old guy or any guy who is stable in life. That's is roughly the main character development of the rag tag team rebel as of now.
Most of the episodes is basically introducing new characters who you will follow with during the series and they personality and traits which can be useful in each situations during the 5 episodes. Also, they're tons of Inbits battle to keep you entertainment if you want to watch bad guy vs good guys fights. The fight scene are okay even though it's kinda limited a bit. Can't say it's a bad thing as the show is been made in the 80s so, you won't see flashy fight scene. Still, fun to watch.
Also, the last episodes is kinda odd in some ways as they're have to steal some fuel to keep on fighting from the human side. I guess they're trying to show that not all the time this rag tag team are always doing the good deeds but something steal stuff to stay alive and fight another day.
Overall, nothing crazy really. This 5 episodes is trying to step up a background story of what happened to earth when the Inbits invade. You also meet up new main characters in the show who you follow. Most of them have a simple character development but nothing crazy that you hate them at all. I guess the little girls will become the comedic characters as she spew up too many lines that either you chuckle a bit (or not for me really) or just damn annoyance (which she is for now). Going to continue watching the next 5 episodes of the show.

They finally find out the truth.
And there's lots of information given out. More than in the old series. Even get to know what happened to normal people in the future. Pluto gave up that key pretty quick. Guess she must really trust them on that it's a really special case.

As much as the Blu-ray transfer looks amazing I still can't believe they censored the movie. It just seems unconscionable. I mean, can you imagine the reaction that the public would give today if someone announced they'd be releasing a classic film on Blu-ray but censoring the violence? It's ridiculous to think that you can do that to a finished piece of art.Thanks! I'm glad that you liked my little write up
[...]
Man, the Blu-ray looks stunning! Have a look at the screens in my review on the previous page for an idea, looks amazing

E.T. and walkie talkies?
Yeah no doubt, I mean leading up to the release they had a blog that they'd update talking about how they are remastering the film and everything and so its really sad to see the end result. I mean, the film looks and sounds amazing, and I'd say that the changes don't impede on your enjoyment of the film, and to the uninitiated it'd go unnoticed, but it still sucks to know that the changes are there. Just the notion of somebody going in and tampering with a piece of anime film history, because that's what it is, feels wrong and dirty.
They did make some genuine corrections like the one below which I'm more than happy with them doing of course:
As you can tell from my final review, I was more than ecstatic with the release over all, and love the movie itself. It pops on Blu-ray and both looks and sounds amazing, just a shame about some of the image quality getting blurry at times and edits here and there. Its funny because a lot of the violence is still there, with blood etc.

Oh shit. Been interested in seeing this.
You haven't seen it? Whats your track record with Ghilbi films? Ocean Waves is a very slow film wherein which not much happens, but that's usually my type of film. One of those in the moment films, has a beautiful soundtrack too, I hope you enjoy it when you get your hands on it!
In other news, for people who love their Kickstarters:
Imagine if it was Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer or something *drool*
Another, older Kickstarter, for a short called Coluboccoro, with the ability to get that Santa Company Blu-ray as well. I think somebody here was interested in that? If so, there's your chance.

Well I feel like I should mention that Ocean Waves is often regarded as one of the worst Studio Ghibli films and while I don't actively hate it like many people I can't imagine ever wanting to own it.
