Hovering blood stains. Awful animation, ruined the movie for me.

Maybe you're judging too quick there.
Anyway, Hibike! seems to be more about the band and puts the Slice of Life on the background. The characters are supposed to be the different people you'd see in a real band and as such aren't as distinguished/extravagant as the characters in a "normal" SoL show.
Hibike! knows what it wants to be and is, in my opinion doing a pretty nice job at that.
PS: At the end of the day it's just a cute show with cute things, there's no need to be so bitter about them <3.
Yessssss
This show is so so goddamn good, keep going

The despair is not finished yet .
Second season is even Better !I hope you're ready for what'll come !
Well nagato X mutsu was only showcased late because they focused on other ships during the earlier episodes. I mean it's not like there aren't A LOT of shiping on various teams during every episode of kancolle.
I mean did you see those not-so-subtle moments with kitakami and Oi ?

I wouldn't say so - I decided to drop Plastic Memories after 4th episode - too inconsistent, and I don't think that this show needs that kind of drama
with robot's kidnapping
Speaking about other stuff - after you'll finish Tales of Melodies watch Katanagatari - it's from the same author who wrote Monogatari Series but in historical setting and with adventure theme behind it (best way is to watch one episode per day).You'll be torn into pieces)
You have done the right thing. KLK is legit.
I just got the final volume 5 blurays. So excited to marathon it again!

Lol, not sure if that's good or bad.
True, the upcoming arc change may not be needed, however, what's wrong with a little diversion? I honestly love the range of emotions these episodes take you through.
Unfortunately, I have to find a way to watch Katanagatari at some point. It's not on Crunchyroll and the Funnamation app is horrible. I loved the ***monogatari series, so add a fantasy world to that and I'm sold.
Well, there is some magic/super-skills but otherwise it's not fantasy. It's a big adventure of two characters during which their personalities changes a lot. I love it for a lot of small interesting details (there is some good foreshadowing for example, which you understand when rewatching show) and smart jokes.
I still hope for Zaregoto anime someday... Best Nisio's work, it has best fucked up MC.

It's not available to stream anywhere. NIS America licensed it in 2011 and were in the transition from allowing Cinedigm to stream their titles to streaming them themselves via Hulu and Crunchyroll. It's slipped through the cracks and due to Aniplex of Japan restricting rights further, they've not been able to do much in addition with it. They had a couple additional printing runs, but it's out of print and no standard edition seems forthcoming. This is a rare instance where I'd say the not-so-legal option is your best option barring paying for a used copy.

Hopefully, one of these is still available tomorrow.
Got it, this licensing stuff for anime sounds like a complete mess. There is always some kind of issue somewhere with it, lol.
Read up on Macross and Robotech and you will know the true face of despair.
VIZ canceled one of my beloved anime series mid release 7 volumes in. It is a fate that befalls a surprising amount of series and makes older shows increasingly more difficult to find and watch.

Barakamon END
Fantastic series from the start to finish wish I had watched it while it was airing as it was perfect. Sensei and Hiroshi were the best, and then yuki kaji character and kawafuji were good too. I wish we get more of it for that island is such a fun place.
Denki-gai no Honya-san END
Why could we get more prince of the shuttlecock and that one soccer manga they showed, both looked like the best series to read in the whole show.
Good anime too, Kantoku was best but he had three girls after him so, well bad end for all.
, Umi was fantastic too, but he had so many figures and body pillows and manga. Im glad we saw his room.
I want to go to a store like theres, it would be a paradise of great mangas.

The dub of Keroro Gunso only went halfway through the second season (Episode 78 IIRC). Would have loved for it to keep going!

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Episode 53
Happy Yuuya-oniichan is back and the Futoshi "shiveru"s were to the max wow. Really one of the happiest Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes ever. The hearts, the smile world with smiling Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon...I couldn't help but smile.

Yes, it is a point of shame, however, I do not set or manage the monthly budget, I just work; a pack mule of sorts, lol.

Considering the BD and manga have sold really well it has a good chance of getting a second season.
Though I really want Handa-kun to get a anime adaptation. It's a prequel to Barakamon about Handa's high school years.
The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Flash Back 2012
I had heard about this OVA a while back, and since it came with the film on Blu-ray, I thought that it would be at least worth a gander, for curiosities sake if anything, I love Macross to bits after all and love the music dearly, so why not? In the end Im glad that I gave this a watch because to be quite honest with you, this is the best way to cap off your viewing of Super Dimension Fortress Macross and DYRL.
What on paper seems to be nothing more than a few songs ends up being an emotional ride down memory lane, as you smile, laugh and cry as you revisit the love triangle of Hikaru, Minmay and Hayase. This without a doubt must be seen after youve watched the Macross TV series and the feature length film as it takes place after those and chronicles the whole story from beginning to end, all backed by the wonderful music of miss Lynn Minmay herself. From old classics like 0-G Love and Silver Moon, Red Moon to new songs like Angel's Paints (Tenshi no Enogu), Flash Back is a joy to listen to. Its honestly a good thing that its beautiful to look at too, and although the picture quality looks like it was sourced from a DVD, meaning kinda bad, the animation itself is beautifully put together, with both clips from the TV series to scenes from DYRL woven together to piece together the story.
Many new scenes are also animated here, and for good reason. The creators had many ideas planned for extra scenes in regards to the ending of both the TV series and Film but never got around to adding them due to budget and time constraints, so Flash Back 2012 was the first time these designs and plans came to fruition. Director, writer/co-creator and legendary mechanical designer Shoji Kawamori along with the original TV series mechanical designer Kazutaka Miyatake and character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto all worked on Flash Back 2012, updating preliminary designs in the process for this OVA. It also happens that bits of Flash Back 2012 were added to the end of the Do you Remember Love Blu-ray in order to rectify some of the issues with the way the film originally ended, that being abruptly.
Why did Flash Back 2012 make me smile so? Because I love Macross, and revisiting all of these wonderful characters again, with scenes synchronized to the sound of Minmay is truly fan service and put a humongous smile on my face. Why did I cry? Because revisiting Macross brought back all of the emotions. It is however worth pointing out that the new scenes are more than superficial and added a lot to the already high emotions.
MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS for Macross, DYRL and Flash Back 2012: Don't read unless you've seen them:
In the end, I without a doubt recommend this to anybody who has seen the Macross TV series and Do You remember Love film. Not much new content is found here, but if you love Macross, this is a massive piece of fanservice that will have you smiling and reminiscing all over again. It features all of Minmays beautiful music, with both old and new scenes that are sure to take you back down memory lane, a flash back to the year of 2012.
Ecstasy, the word Id use to describe the feelings I conjured up while watching Flash Back 2012. Grinning, the word to describe the look on my face and tears, the things that dripped down my cheeks while watching Flash Back 2012. Macross: Flash Back 2012 is essentially a collection of Macross Music videos, accumulating to a total run-time of 30 minutes and was released back in the year of 1987, a fair few years after the animated TV series had ended (1983) and after the 1984 theatrical release of the amazing film (which I reviewed here) Do You Remember Love? In fact, it was released in order to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the series.

MAJOR ENDING SPOILERS for Macross, DYRL and Flash Back 2012: Don't read unless you've seen them:
Flash Back 2012 finally shows the launch of Misas Megaroad colonization ship, the SDF-2 Megaroad-01 as well as the final concert on Earth for Lynn Minmay. It was pretty emotional seeing all of these characters, aged and older than we last saw them. The saddest part is, in terms of Macross continuity, is the fact that the SDF-2 Megaroad-01, the spacecraft commanded by Hayase with Hikaru and Minmay on-board went missing 4 years into its voyage and never returned, with all crew missing. The film, Do You Remember Love is actually a film released within the Macross series itself, to give people hope of their Voyage, and to add to the legend of the SDF-2 Megaroad-01.
In the end, I without a doubt recommend this to anybody who has seen the Macross TV series and Do You remember Love film. Not much new content is found here, but if you love Macross, this is a massive piece of fanservice that will have you smiling and reminiscing all over again. It features all of Minmays beautiful music, with both old and new scenes that are sure to take you back down memory lane, a flash back to the year of 2012.

Kill La Kill ep. 1-3:
Ok, I haven;t gotten too far into this one yet, but my thoughts stand from last night, this one is crazy, lol. Blood eating uniforms, baring it all for everyone, yeah. Very interesting stuff. I'm going to start watching EL-Tale of Melodies as a break, ya know, off-setting bloody action anime with thought provoking emotional anime. I've got this...

Best cute girls doing moe things show since I've seen since Love Lab. Still, it's a series that I think I appreciate, for what it is doing, more than I really like it. The dreary, somber mood doesn't exactly make it an ideal thing to go quickly through and it dragged a bit in few places but fortunately recovered for the final stretch. Kind of curious if the second season has a more definitive ending but after all the horrible things I've read about it, i'm not going to check.
Great series. Really silly and over the top but sometimes you just want something ridiculous.
AVOID SEASON TWO AVOID AVOID AVOID
Ooooh, that would work out too. Barakamon anything would be truly welcome.

While skimming trough my favorite openings in youtube and listening Spice and Wolf opening I remembered that we will never have ending in anime form for the show =(. Made me sad.
The problem that Firemind has here is pretty relatable for me - it's the same one I had with Girls und Panzer. The reason why I don't mind it in Euphonium, aside from liking musical instruments more than tanks, is because ultimately, playing music is something individual and the characters aren't behind a giant hunk of metal all the time. But I do get where he's coming from; I've been there before.
what do you mean?

We never got third anime season. Novels have already ended several years ago so chances for more anime seasons are pretty much zero.
oh I thought you meant the ending themes.
Took the 4th one, thank you very much!
I'd heard a few things before going into it, but nothing could prepare me for the QUALITY SAKUGA of S2's first episode. NOTHING.
It was interesting in that the season pits the girls (mainly Triela) against a fully-human boy in similar circumstances that could fight on equal terms with them. Definitely has a more-conclusive feeling to the season, albeit it isn't end-of-the-series definitive.

The fact you haven't started Clannad and Clannad After Story saddens me greatly.
Don't worry i'll get myself Premium too (This Weekend most likely), so i don't need to hurry that much. But it'll be great as a Trial-Version! (Since for some reason i can't activate the Trial Version with my Account)

Intresting synopsis for this pne. Sounds like a harem anime where the mc helps heal everyone around him similar to how Yuuji initially starts helping everyone in Fruit of Grisaia, well before the story gets crazy, lol.
Clannad also isn't on Crunchyroll. .

That's one kind of synopsis. Not really the way I would describe the show, but it has seeds of that sure. (I am biased though... So...)
Even so, you should still give it a whirl. Reading your impressions of shows like ef has me convinced you would really enjoy it.

Clannad is an older TBS title, which means it went to Sentai and is on Hulu.
