Jojo is a blow up.

So melancholic. Going on adventure on another world and learning everything was a lie would be rather traumatic. It highlights how one can't really go back to normal life after all that. Luckily for them, they don't have to. Now Cephiro is at war, and we're in a mecha show now. Seriously, the differences between the two season is just jarring. It's practically a different show. I'm curious as to what the general reaction was to this shift in tone/style. Also, Lantis is freaking tall. Like a noodle. Mysterious dreams, and a greater villain than 3 rival countries.
Also the beginning of the Clampy romances. Fuu/Ferio is fine obviously. Set up before hand, and they get along well. Umi/Ascot or Umi/Clef is just weird though. Really don't know what to think of those. And then there's Hikaru/Lantis, which I file as Clamp being Clamp.

I never thought I'd get voice actress moe once Kobayashi retired to the glue factory, but Karen in the latest Kinimoza was just too much. Dat Engrish. lol
That part was so good. Also, that line you mentioned was a bit off and confusing. I think the translated LN and other sub groups handled that part better.

One of the four: Prison School, Monster Musume, Himouto! Umaru-chan or Jitsu wa Watashi wa will end up bad. Sadly it looks like Jitsu wil take that role.

At least Prison School's designs look on point, more then I can say for JwWw
Really nailing Hiramoto's art and having a good director would be amazing
I started following anime just this season because of SNAFU and Soma. Normally, I'd wait till the end of the season and marathon it so I don't get a nagging feeling I was left hanging. I think I need one more to add to my list. Maybe Grisaia (I haven't watched or have any idea of the story)?
Same here. It'll likely be toned down given its content which will affect the humor and interactions which are the staple of the manga.

Yamada and the seven witches - 06
Quite a simple episode , especially after the last 2 arcs . Hopefully , this will lead to something else with more episodes, maybe ?
Won't he lose that hability once he switch to another next episode ? what a shame.

Try Sound Euphonium or Blood Blockade Battlefront.

Dunno why people were upset about this. It was still fun even if they didn't use the go-to animation style, it will likely be back next week. The hard close ups were an interesting take on it and conveyed the inspirations of the show, all that mature 90's anime shading.
The quality of the art and animation is more what I'm worried about.

Fruit of Grisaia is like is a tale of multiple different anime series built into one. It's goes from being a lighthearted and fun schooltime, harem anime to a dark, gritty and intellectual anime. Then switches to this series which started at backstory about the MC, then just took another completely different route. I really enjoy it a lot.
Oh, also:
Etotama is just plain fun
Plastic Memories is an emotional story
Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon is also good.
You mean Synchros? Basically, there's a new type of monster in 5D's called a Synchro monster. You summon them by a process called "tuning", which is basically like Fusion except you do it with a special monster called a "Tuner Monster" instead of a spell card like "Polymerization". When you "tune", you send the Tuner monster and another monster on your field to the graveyard and summon a Synchro monster from your Extra Deck with a level equal to the combined levels of the tuned monsters. So if you have a Lv3 tuner and another Lv4 monster on the field and tune them, you can summon a Lv7 Synchro monster.
I really like 5D's; everyone jokes about card games on motorcycles but there's a decent argument for it being the best Yugioh season on the strength of its setting, conflicts, and slightly older cast.

Screw all the ecchi harem and moe crap that's gonna air in Summer. The anime that's gonna truly save Summer is gonna be Gangsta.
Your heard me, it's the anime we need to save us from the abundance of ecchi anime. I mean we have 2 absolutely based protagonists.😎

The silly thing is that card games on motorcycles seems pretty damn tame now compared to the sequel series.
Card games in SPACE! (completely terrible)
Card games on HIPPOS! (pretty damn fun now)

Baby Steps 2 7:
Ei-chan does a great job showing everyone how much he's grown. I love how Araya lays out all of his weaknesses, because we know that everyone is about to see how none of them even matter anymore. And damn, the show is really working at making you feel for Miyagawa. It's a shame that he's going to have to lose in order to Ei-chan to keep going. Pretty cruel to not let both of them at least advance to the next round.
We're seeing how other players can start to evolve as well, and Miyagawa's new skills definitely make him a more formidable opponent, so this match should be a pretty good one. We're definitely set for something that should have some great reversals and a lot of good in game analysis.

I'm looking forward to that Gate anime this summer.
Guys, it's got the military fighting dragons in a fantasy land when they're on an adventure and stuff.

It certainly looks like something that would fit in with other mediocre 90's anime nobody remembers. Perhaps the protagonists will be more interesting outside of a trailer but they don't seem like they're up to carrying a thrilling action crime story.
Never seen a concept so fresh,
Cross Ange minus the viewer self-loathing and trashy lesbianism? What's the point?
two nerds (albeit one with good taste) and an elf that isn't even brown. Doomed from the start.

Self-loathing and trashy lesbianism are literally the only reasons I watch anime.

So much more Kongou for your ears. It's aural sex! (pun intended, etc).

Last season is bad for sure...but at least it has one standout pick that I followed till the end, which is Death Parade. This season just has a lot of decent shows but none of which I really want to follow (haven't seen the long-running ones like Gintama & Jojos).
The only ones on my radar for the next few seasons are Prison School and that noitamina one with Asano's character design.
How many seasons will they take to get to where the manga is at now...that last chapter was some euphoric stuff.
I really like 5D's too. Some of the stuff in the later tourney arc aren't as good as the beginning, but goddamn I love the ending of that series.
Even made an AMV for it back in high school.
Card games on motorcycles didn't have a problem with me, but card games on
skateboards

There are some nationalistic tones at times that can get pretty annoying in the manga, hopefully they tone them down for the adaption.
A Brown Elf does appear at some point.

It does nothing great (expect 9000 year old psychopathic gothic loli), but it never does anything too negative to really make you want to drop it.

Trust me it's not gonna be like those mediocre 90's anime. Plus the way sign language is integrated in the series is pretty awesome.
Gangsta has two pretty awesome and interesting protagonists, the trailer doesn't really show much.

Card games on motorcycles sound really dumb, and while it would be super stupid IRL, the show makes good use of the concept in making the duels more dynamic and visually appealing

I was scared when I saw the premise too, but I was actually pretty surprised how the manga goes about it.
Like, I found it to be more about the military group in the fantasy world as a whole as opposed to just one nerd in the group, like it usually goes with these kind of stories.
I don't know. I've seen low bottom-of-the-barrel trash before, and the little I've read of Gate just seemed impressive to me by comparison. So I'm interested to see how the anime goes about it, to say the least.
This. Changes. Everything.
tbf a brown elf would make dungeon girls at least 5x better

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches Ep. 6Yamada is a playa as he makes out with yet another
who knew body switching could be so much fun! Also,
Yamada and Urara continue to get closer, so I'm very interested in how that developes as well.
Love Live!
Umm, yeah, well, the lead was pretty cute, but her little sis' future school looks pretty sweet, lol! Now they have to add the piano chick and one more! This should be an interesting watch.
#team nobody yet
witch, this time the green one. He also gets to see Odagiri naked as well as feel her boobs in his back.
Green witch is your cute a quiet type, lol

Isn't Non Non Biyori S2 starting this summer?
Did some digging and fansubs say "If this is all that it takes to tear us apart then maybe we weren't all that close to begin with". This sounds infinitely better than the Crunchy sub, and more meaningful as this is what Hachiman said to Hayama few episodes back.
Yeah, I'm kinda apprehensive about the end of this season. I had no idea SNAFU was based on a LN and I didnt really pay attention as much during the first season so I didnt really miss it too much when it finished. I'm really gonna hate the wait for new LNs to drop and for a new season, which will take another few years to materialize

I don't even know what's airing next season outside of stuff I'm already picking up or continuing like Imas so I'm probably going to end up watch a ridiculous amount again after being conservative this season
this does indeed looks pretty good.
I am also looking forward to how Charlotte will turn out, God Eater should at least be a treat for the eyes given the animation company (though the trailer was odd)
but alas, the anime that will save us from ecchi harem and moe will of course be Dragon Ball Super

But it won't save us from Toriyama's asspulls.😌
