Neat, I watched it a lot longer than last year, thanks for the update.
Nisekoi OVA 3
Mizu no Kotoba/ Aquatic Language
9 minute short that I randomly stumbled upon on Crunchyroll. Follows a few people talking about stuff in cafe. Pretty fun with neat cinematography and a bit of a twist at the end. Might need to check Time of Eve since it seems to be well regarded and is from the same guy.

Huh, weird. Could have sworn that they were involved somehow. Guess it really is Aniplex's fault, in this case.

Aniplex of Japan's presence in the committee does not mean they hold international rights to the series.
To be specific, you have Aniplex of America who decided not to license the third season of a show they did not plan to license the first two seasons of. Their decision not to license it meant Aniplex of Japan had no way to sell the NA streaming rights to Crunchy.
The committee for Vivid is:
King Records/Starchild
Seven Arcs
Aniplex of Japan
A-1 is not listed in the committee nor are they ever listed when Aniplex is on a committee. This is why you do not trust the ANN encyclopedia as they are often wrong on companies.
Starchild is unlikely to have rights to this as they've not held rights to any of the Nanoha series and haven't mentioned it internationally. Aniplex may have rights, but due to a lack of success in NA previously, there's little reason to license this and it would fall under a Dog Days situation. Seven Arcs may have rights as they were the only other company to be on the previous TV series' committees and likely have rights to those series.
Overall, it's a shitty situation to be in as an international fan as legal viewing methods do not seem to be forthcoming.

Do we know when Blood Battle Blockade is gonna be on Funimation or am I just blind?
Yeah. Just trying to reason out an answer to all this.

The manga is published in Kadokawa's CompAce magazine and published by the Kadokawa Shoten company. This does not mean they will be involved in financially producing the series.
Just in time for more KINMOZA.

Arslan Senki 01
This has DTL written all over it. Like 95% of the cast is pretty men haha. Strong first episode, where Albino Edward/Alphonse is training and just can't WAIT TO BE KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING.
Looks like a show that will be worth watching.

Ah, that's probably why I thought they were involved.
I do wonder who has the rights to this and the previous Nanoha seasons. I'd like to see at least the first two seasons get re-released, preferably on BD. I've heard the upscale done on them isn't bad at all. I wonder if any North American companies would be interested? Which reminds me, I ought to import the movies sometime. I really liked the A's movie.

The only company I could see would possibly be interested would be Sentai, and that's a huge stretch for them as it's an older title from a company they don't have a pre-existing relationship with or would be licensing a new title from. It's also one that wasn't a huge seller when it was new, so getting people to buy discs (which you want if you're Sentai) would be difficult.

I think it and one more show they have have no premiere time or date yet.
Guess it's a long shot, then. Well, I'll just have to hope it gets picked up by someone at some point, as unlikely as it is.
Nanoha ViVid 01
Nothing to do but jump in.
It's been a while since I've seen StrikerS - it was still being wrapped up when I really got into the fandom - but I do remember the rough details of what went down, so seeing characters like Nove and Erio and Carrol again was a nice surprise. It does feel a bit like Dog Days, but I can also feel some Prisma Illya similarities, though unlike Illya's war turned magical girls, this is a magical girls turned military then going back to its roots.
Having a magical girl coming from a legacy - and not just in the "princess of a magical land" sense, though Vivio has that too - feels like a nice change in formula, though it makes the "Lyrical Nanoha" part of the title feel customary at this point - Nanoha and Fate, as wonderful as it is to see them as moms - are mere side characters. Love Nana and Yukarin's OP and ED, as always.
Shame it wasn't licensed, but it's still one of my most anticipated series, and the first episode set a good premise and tone for what I'm looking for. Though Vivio naming her Device Sacred Heart just puts a tune in my head. ♫Hello I'm Dr. Kelso/I'm delighted that you came~♫
This season is off to a great start. Funi just needs to get the rest of their shows up and running. Yuki, BorN and Mikagura need times.

So I realize that I've not seen any Patlabor related thing, and would like to rectify that
Is there a recommended/required viewing order?
Is any of it on crunchyroll/hulu?

I recommend starting with the movie continuity and then moving on to the TV continuity.
Movie Continuity - Patlabor OVA Series 1 (Early Days) -> Patlabor: The Movie -> Patlabor 2: The Movie
TV Continuity - Patlabor TV Series -> Patlabor OVA Series 2 (New Files)
I don't believe so.
Is this the old one or the new one? Thought the new one was a summer show.

The new Arslan Senki anime based on Arakawa's manga just aired today. It'll be airing during spring and summer.

Show By Rock 1
This was better than I expected it to be, the visuals are lovely, the 3D is nice, and it's a Rock Musical Comedy. Retoree had me laughing at her reactions, Maple had me laughing at his
S&M fetish,
Shingan Crimsonz turn up singing was just fantastic.
I would recommend watching the TV continuity first. I watched the Movie continuity first and currently watching the TV continuity and I'm a bit disappointed with it since both the direction and production value of the TV series is not up to par with the first OVA series and movies.
But then again I just saw Corvo's meltdown after watching Movie 2 last.
Nanoha Vivid
It's Vivid. Slow start, just like the manga. Never liked it much, but I like Nanoha, so I'll probably stick with it. I forgot that Fate never saw Vivio's adult form. I sort of like how they gloss over how Vivio is a WMD, or all the former criminal cyborgs. Eh, not important.
Nagato Yuki
It's Yuki. Pretty much how I remember the manga. Kyon looks way off. Everyone else looks fine, but they didn't get him right. Asakura is the best part, as expected. Really, she should be the protagonist since she's far more entertaining than Yuki and Kyon. Well, it's nice to have the cast together again in animated format, so it's worth watching.

Futurecard Buddyfight 64 END (engdub)
Giving us a Ultimate Neo Dragon Drum The Future for a final upgrade after Kyoya Gaen's Demonic Demise Dragon, Azi Dahaka balanced the fight out nicely. Ending was extremely predictable for things but done in an excellent manner
. 10/10.
Really hyped for Buddyfight 100, its going to be splendid.
I will miss the OP. and also the OP Shiny Up it was really good.

Friendship was always in the DNA of the show. So for Gao Mikado to accept Kyoya as a friend and even offer to buddyfight him again was lovely and expected

Blood Blockade Battlefront - Episode 1
This sure is a shounen action anime. The direction is pretty solid, good pacing for an introductory episode, tight origin story, pretty dense, lots of really nice animation. It seems like the perfect show for Toonami. There are ridiculous and colorful characters with crazy powers, the entire setting is a mix of edgy designs and fun "anything goes" action, and it's pretty entertaining. I don't think there's anything particularly unique about the story or characters so far, but it's definitely well made for the sort of genre it's in. Hopefully it keeps up without feeling draggy or repetitive after a while.

something tells me that they will go at least a bit an anime original route. Blue Exorcist started out really promising on the first episode and then it shat the bed and went the 'special school for special kids' route. Ugh.
Blood Blockade Battlefront 1
It's typical shone. It does have an interesting premise, and Jerusalem's Lot, a city mixed with the normal and supernatural, feels alive. The action is crazy and the whole thing is awesome over the top. And holy cow was that sequence in which the monster was reforming awesome. The creativity in the direction front helps too. I like it. Although I don't understand what the heck that flashback was about.

Some monster appeared and asked one of them to be a witness? I don't understand what it meant by that.
Show By Rock!! - Episode 1
What... is... this... This is like a Fusion Error in a SMT game when you try to fuse Cajun, Sabre, Narag, and duckroll. I thought the CG was really good, and going for the nendo look worked really well for what they wanted. But... I have no idea what sort of show it wants to be or what the hook is other than "cute expressions" + "catgirl guitarist" + "music battles" + "virtual music world". This is the strangest music anime I've seen since AKB0048.

The speculah for Sora No Woto was great inasmuch as it was something where you could go deep, but the show did nothing to explain anything. For science fiction, there is surprisingly very little exposition - you just learn about the world as the characters live their lives or gain new information, but it leaves you a lot of room to fill in the gaps if you wanted to do so.
I guess, since Bloodborne is on the brain right now, it's very much like how Miyizaki handles fiction in his games.
Also, the OST is just very atmospheric and moody, which is why I like listening to it from time to time. It's... a nice counterpoint to Choro Club's Aria work. lol

So I started watching Eureka Seven on Netflix. I've wanted to watch this show since it came out, but I could never find a way to watch it until now. The sub timings of the Netflix version are insane though, a lot of the time 2 lines of subtitles are on screen for just a second or two. Is there any other service streaming it with better subtitles?
I don't have any recommendations for you on the service front, but I wanted to let you know that Eureka Seven is one of the first anime I have ever watched and I absolutely love it.
Oh it stays that way throughout? I was actually concerned I'd get buried under an infodump later.

I've heard only good things about it! I'm really excited to watch it, but I just don't think I can stick with Netflix's version unless I turn on the dub, and I usually prefer subs to dubs.
Man, I was so confused by that.
