Kinda disappointed OP is the same. ED too.
Show is still good though. Sad about the length only being seven minutes minus OP/ED though.
I dunno who any of these side characters are, guess I haven't gone deep enough into the Mecha hole

Don't you want to be cleansed from being tainted by all the ecchiness summer will bring?
I kind of like that idea actually.
Spice and Wolf is sort of fantasy adventure, but with a heavy emphasis on economy and uses a lot of economic terms and theories and such. Holo and Lawrence have amazing chemistry together and really makes it enjoyable as hell to watch. There is a little bit of a romantic bend to things but it is not the main focus of it.

I think I'm already too far tainted.

Iroha is the best.
I hope it makes her feel better to continually say that. It's been what 4 times now? He needs to end up with Yuki, that would be his soul mate. Yui is the best, but Yuki is the one for him. Iroha would just be a 1 night stand as payback..
Oh and as we talked about the other day, he is our wild card:

I like in yahari that the relationship between the sister and Hachiman seems to be a very nice relationship unlike in other anime

Yup Cajun no wars needed, she's the best girl. When you see her you'll agree with us.Iroha is the best.
Also this. Most anime seem to go down the incestuous route most of the time when it comes to siblings, in this show all you get is a legitimate brother to sister relationship. They love each other like family, and interact with each other like so. It's sad to say this, but it's quite refreshing seeing them together as normal siblings lol.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's her catchphrase. They all have catchphrases.
But I don't know man. Yukino and Yui are pretty extreme in the directions of smartass and ditzy respectively. The only reason I could even really see Yukino even being an option is because Haruna is acting like it's gonna happen.

I, for one, welcome our new Robot girl overlords.
For me, the opening is like Log Horizon with Database. Nothing would be able to measure up to it so I'm glad they didn't change it. I didn't think this episode was as funny as some of the stuff last season but there's plenty more to come. I do think that Team G is a downgrade over last season as I just loved the Getter Robo pilots being the butlers to the Robot Girl version of their mecha.

You picked the wrong franchise to try if you're trying to escape disappointment.

Using the same song is fine but in Log Horizon and Hunter x Hunter they changed OPs. This is the same one.
Nah Heartcatch is fucking awesome.
It's seemingly about a recluse who gets into involved in a wacky romantic comedy, but it's actually about a misanthropic individual who goes out of his way to help people by consistently throwing himself under the bus. His only recourse is oblivion.
There is new animation in there with the new enemy moe blobs and new Robot Girl teams. I suspect that once the other two teams are introduced it'll be wholly new.

I find it really odd how Prison School hasn't released any information about the Studio, Cast, and etc till next week. I mean for example Gangsta has already released a huge of amount of information about the cast and everything, they even announced the Studio last year. Even other shows like Monster Musume and Jitsu Wa Watashi have already announced important information. Why is Prison School taking this long to even announce anything? Like wouldn't you want to advertise your series in order to get more people to watch it, secrecy isn't really gonna help your series.
Now I have a terrible feeling that who ever is adapting it are having some Scheduling issues.

And poor Mr. Matsuura had hopes this would be a showcase piece for SANZIGEN Inc.,... dammed the ones stealing their thunder!
Really now, of course both studios are under the USPI's holding, truly cooperative as the companies well horizontally integrated they are, yeah... but, like CGWORLD.jp demonstrates on the articles presenting different lead animators from SANZIGEN and their respective cuts (in some it presents a clear contrast with Mr. Imaishi's own storyboards for the cuts, nonetheless), it is undeniable that SANZIGEN's technical expertise was vital for the project beyond the roles TRIGGER Inc., staff also had on it (same thing that happened with Sushio's very touted and excellent key-framing input and advice for 3DCGI scenes on the first episode of P&SwG, among others, while the actual enablers didn't enjoy the same level of praise after all).
Oh man, watching that video was straight cringefest especially in hindsight. They kept going on about how BRS was such a revolutionary project. I do remember at the time there was a lot of hype surrounding the TV series but oh boy looking back, it's almost painful considering how mediocre the sales were. Reminds me a bit of Psycho-Pass in that regards. The show did well enough for it not to be considered a flat out bomb but it was little more than a blimp on the sales chart.
Even ignoring the consumer part, I don't think the notion of fighting sequences primarily being CGI took off like Sanzigen expected to. Yes 2D mech stuff is largely dead and buried but 2D animation for regular fight shows, even low budget ones, is still very much done. I suppose it was revolutionary though on the front of production committees thinking outside the box in regards to what they could make into an anime, leading to the current vocaloid plague and some figurine lines being adapted into low grade anime. However I don't think there's been another project quite like BRS in the regards of something spawning from essentially a meme into a TV series.
It was informative though as I have a better understanding of USP's structure. I thought USP was another studio that handled CGI but instead it's Sanzigen that does it. I saw Sanzigen in the credits but I was unclear as to what their role was. I'm more acquanted with Sanzigen's CGI work in KLK. I didn't know USP was created primarily for Black Rock Shooter's development with Ordet, Trigger, and Sanzigen as the trio that comprise it. I was under the impression that USP was somewhat separate from Trigger although owned by the same company, hence both entities being in the same building. However the video makes it seem that USP was an umbrella that the studios collaborated under for BRS's development.
Also of note that of the three studios, the clear loser was Ordet. While BRS wasn't the megahit that USP or GSC expected it to be, their expectations being misguided due to the success of the OVA, Sanzigen still found a niche and Trigger is trotting along.
The video probably could have gone into supercell's development since they're a key element of the success of BRS as a developing franchise.
I always mix up Snafu with that other show...something Mental Choices...
It has a cutie white haired girl with a lamb hairpin or similar.

Oh. Well that's better then.
It's not that uncommon. And they are unveiling all the info next week. Voice actors, director, studio, probably a PV.
Yes, watch it. Queue up Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, too. =3
My memory is vague as I watched it about a year ago but I didn't have that much of a problem with the plot in the first half (it's when they go completely bonkers in the second half that I have issues with). Basically Van loses his kingdom and embarks on a journey to avenge it and reclaim it. Hitomi is a kind of fake protagonist. A usual cheerleader character who somehow got bumped to the main character position. I do basically agree with all your points one her. The fact that she never really tries to find some way back to her planet really rubbed me the wrong way. And then there is that awful love pentagon.
Gakuto, Hana, Andre are not something to be cleansed but cherished and worshipped !
but she helped create AKB0048. and Black Rock Shooter. And wixoss.
Mari is amazing. Her work never ceases to leave my mouth hanging open wide in disbelief.

Considering the anime for Prison School may not reach the point where the manga is really great, it's gonna be a bit underwhelming. I mean the beginning was pretty average and not that great till it found that turning point. Plus the art is one of the biggest reasons as to why Prison School is so great, but if the anime is full of quality then yeah it's screwed.
If the execution for the comedy is mediocre, then all you will get is an ecchi mess of an adaption.
No

How many girls are in this show?

Prison School is probably gonna be a one cour. I bet it's gonna end right after

There's a few. Only one you need is Iroha though. Yui is alright too. Yukino... Eh.

Lol, I'very had that on in my queue for a long tI'm now for some reason, I just don't remember why I added it.. If you like shows that make you think and analyze the psychology behind ones actions.
There could be a bunch of options (probably around 6 realistically) but this is not a harem anime and it's not about romance, yet.. The show has a completely different tone and focus on sociology and psychology.
I mean I'm very well acquainted with Okada's work but when you see it all laid out there...

Right, I'm totally gonna finish Milky Holmes S2 tonight. After I've done that, is the third season worth watching? I've heard that it's basically a spin off rather than an actual third season, but whether or not it's actually good is more important than that.
Edit:
You're probably thinking of Noucome, which was fantastic, albeit short.

My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with my School Romantic Comedy.
Better known as Noucome. Was actually a pretty fun show.
The show is mostly about the protagonist trio, then you have a series of characters orbiting around them.

Length has nothing to do with it, it's do with how the work is released.
It's a series if it's broadcast on TV.
If it's released on home media (e.g. on VHS, Laserdisc, Betamax, DVD, HD-DVD, BD etc) then it's an OVA.

Well, I still stand by my statement. 08th MS Team is the best Gundam series/OVA/DC direct to DVD animated film.

This is correct. Only 1 character is even interested in Hiki and she hasn't even told him yet, so don't listen to those that say there is a harem here, lol. He is a true loner. .
Yeah. I was thinking of Yukihira. This is also the show with that cutie Chocolat.
Which one?
