Hey, I actually read everyone's posts!
This is basically what Im thinking with...well anything cornbread watches at this point.
Weirdly reading this thread I only finished Koi Kaze the other day. Considering the subject matter it's obviously a kinda awkward (and a bit depressing) watch but gotta echo what the other said, it definitely takes the subject more seriously than I'd expected.
Also I really liked how it looked. Can't quite explain it cos it actually looks kinda jank in a lot of ways but it has a strange charm to it (especially the main 2 characters) and it just seemed to fit.

It has a simple soft style that reminds me of things like Kino's Journey and SOmeday's Dreamers.

"takes the subject matter seriously" is one major way to gain my attention nowadays. Some time ago I was randomly thinking about giving this show a watch (well, couldn't recall its name right then). I'll probably dip into it soon.

Look at this sob. He's the most Tatsunoko fucking thing I've seen in a long ass time.
I'm all aboard the Erika hype train and Tsubomi's nice so yeah. Why the heck not? I need something to get the taste of how Sailor Moon's been fucked sideways out of my mouth so why not it's contemporary?

08th MS Team.
I don't usually like Gundam at all, but 08th MS Team actually did it right. They hit the sweet spot with relatively realistic Mech combat, likeable characters, and a romance that wasn't intolerable.
Gundam Build Fighters Season 1.

Amagami actually lots of develloppement.
You just need to understand how amagami tell his story... It's a clear recommendation from me. I don't know anyone who dislike this show.

I hope the fans of "that" other show are happy and i hope everyone has filled the papaerwork because gintama , once again went quite far in for the joke but what joke it was !
I'll never look at "kick the can" the same way ever again.

A new villain and somewhat interesting fights. And I'm pretty sure they don't understand how a vaccine works. And viruses for that matter

Finish Honey and Clover first. You really don't know yet what's waiting for you)
As for what you wrote...
- Gokukoku no Brynhildr: Brynhildr in the Darkness - can't say anything
- Kimi no Iru Machi: A Town Where You Live - read manga or don't watch at all
- Golden Time - beginning of the show is really promising thanks to the not weakling MC, but then it gets worse
- Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo: The Pet Girl of Sakurasou - my friends call it "light version of Honey and Clover with more anime tropes", so finish H&C first)
- White Album 2 - I enjoed the drama, but as people say - it's not finished
- Amagami SS - good show, don't know about second season, but I enjoyed first
You can add to your list Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - most probably you'll enjoy it.

I can't wait.
How are you storing that DTB set? It looks like it will be a pain to find space for it, like the Yuuki Yuuna blurays and NISA sets
Bit of an anime newbie question, do any of you know if season 2 of Ace of Diamond be as long as season 1? I've been watching it over the past couple of weeks and really enjoyed it. Now I've caught up, and I'm trying to decide if I should wait and watch all of it, or follow it weekly. I normally don't like doing the latter with any kind of show, but if it's like 70 episodes I think I might have to do that, even though it will be like torture with the pacing of it
They're the best pair this season imo

Ok, so now we're going from Brother & Sister love to Sister & Sister love... what is going on in here....
Air ep. 1-6:
Man, the tone and feelings you get behind this show's presentation is something else. You constantly have an aura that something bad is going to happen though, which was the same at point in Clannad as well as Kanon. The creaters are masters at crafting a moment, even if you're completely confused, it all makes sense at some point. The music, the scenery, they really frame thins and use these to help push emotions. You can see the girl in the sky
Misuzu is going to die, you already know it and she is so damn cute and will die and it's Yukito's fault.
Wait I thought that Kyoani animating this was just a joke on twitter!?
Probably next to my Yuki Yuna and Denki-Gai sets! My NISA LEs and my TTGL BD Box set are on a shelf on my entertainment center.
Also, speak of the devil, it just arrived!
Definitely going to be watching some Turn A Gundam at work tonight. Fuck yeah.

My Love Story 7:
This was a pretty enjoyable episode. Something I really like about this show is the way that Suna just cuts through a lot of the bullshit that you often see in romance stories, just immediately pointing out that Yamato's worries are just a misunderstanding. I think that's the one thing that really helps this show stand out some from the crowd.
Takeo and Yamato continue to have some nice interactions, and having Takeo doing something new this episode helped it feel like more than just a retread.

You started on that path with your very first show. We are merely furthering you along.

Whaddya know, I actually found this episode somewhat watchable. If anything I'm looking forward to machine gun woman to go full hulk mode on those shitty twins.
The soundtrack in this is pretty good. However when the chanting started as Skull guy was doing the whole batman plane exit, I just laughed at how silly it felt.

As someone who has a mask fetish when it comes to character design (however shitty they may look), I'm very pleased with the amount of masks in this show.

Starts off with a typical harem beginning in the first season then turns into something more like what hyouka did with character interaction if you dig a little. There's not much eechi moments outside of one occasion in the beginning. If you like the main character and how he interacts with the other cast members then youll probably like it. I find the light novel complements the anime nicely.
Well I'm never watching this.
Sounds good to me.
Im not a fan of fanservice as yall know. But I gladly accept cute service.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't know that I would call SNAFU a harem unless you're counting Totsuka.
Although, hey, he does look fetching his meido outfit:

That's an OVA, not a series.
That's on Youtube, I don't need to own it.

I don't really have a huge argument with your points re: Escaflowne Jexhius - you're basically right and my love of the series transcends its flaws - but I'm going to try and respond to some of your points anyway.
Undoubtedly it's true that the show is rushed; we know for certain that one subplot in Asturia was cut due to the 39 episodes originally planned for being cut to 26. I don't know whether any of this time would have been given over to filling in the gaps - there used to be a fantastic website that went through all the deleted but animated scenes from the first few episodes but it's no longer available so I can't check what was taken out (beyond a few visions I remember). The breakneck pacing - no sooner has Hitomi arrived on Gaia then she's essentially on the run from Zaibach - is one of the things that I really like, but of course it doesn't give her any time to adjust to the situation before HAVING to adjust to it.
I don't think we have different expectations of human behaviour; I think I just more readily suspend my disbelief here and get swept up in atmosphere etc. without regard for realistic actions. Perhaps Hitomi's just read a lot of cheesy Western fantasy and therefore the stereotypical medieval atmosphere doesn't freak her out very much as a result
The show does much better by its characters in the second half, I feel. It's always more interested in its villains than its heroes, but I think Hitomi and Allen in particular are better served by later developments.
Hmmm. Although Dilandau is too off the wall to be "acting human", I would say that Folken is at least a more complex character at this stage; but then perhaps he's not been in it enough for fair comment.
As I say, I don't really DISAGREE with your points, but I don't really notice them because I find the characters endearing despite their lack of depth.

Nope

Gangsta is basically about some crazy strong oddjobers that have some great backstory, just having some fun and fighting from the little I've read.
It will surely cleanse all the ecchi harems that Summer will have.

nope, no waifu wars needed. It's really only between a couple contenders. They are soo different it scary... Thsi show has all sorts of "situations" and is more psycological than anything else. It really makes you think and analyze the MCs actions as well as everyone else around him. It's a really really good show for that.
Spice and Wolf, how is this one? Fantasy, adventure, romance? Whaaa? Ookami to Koushinryou
Nothing needs to be cleansed.
