Yeah, this is totally something Nightow would do. Got the style and setting to keep me interested for at least a little while. May have to check out the manga as well.

Missed that about the plane. Didn't think Archer could store something that big. Well, he does have all the treasures. Don't think the Lancer thing was ever established in the anime, though the de-magic trick was.
Fate/Zero 22
Waver has a nice fake grandpa. Boy was never truly fit for the war. Kiritsugu doesn't even consider Saber someone. For shame.
And there goes Irisviel. Kind of thought she'd last a little longer.
So that's what's happening with Irisviel. Not a nice fate. And not a nice one for her daughter.
So are most of Prison Schools. High art confirmed.

Kekkai Sensen aka Blood Blockade Battlefront seems to be receiving some optimistic impressions right now due to the Rie Matsumoto direction/ Shinji Kimura background art/ Bones production power combo.*
Show By Rock seems to be receiving a range of ironic enjoyment(?) to genuine enjoyment impressions, so mileage will certainly vary with its first episode.*
Still waiting on any word of when the new Lupin TV series and Digimon TV series will air, but I'd say there's some optimism, or at least interest, towards both right now.*
* = I have seen none of these yet myself.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Really enjoyed The Heroic Legend of Arslan
Looking forward to more of it.

Yeah, it's a nice opening. I was pleasantly surprised when it started up for the new season. The song is pretty catchy.

Yep, it's GTO + TWGOK. Exactly how I remember it.
Might as well stick with it for now.

I am pretty sure that's from the novel, since I just rewatch Fate/Zero recently and didn't remember reading that.

Inoue for best girl so far. Glad to see her come around by the end lol.
Yeah, it's a real shame but I think that many in the target audience would rather see the power of friendship and ridiculous asspulls and don't really have the patience for a more realistic take on things where the protagonist doesn't have a near 100 win %.
Regardless, I'm very happy that Baby Steps is back and it looks like it's headed in a great direction.

This doesn't really look it's going to be a particular thrilling season, nevertheless potential candidates for good titles include:
- Blood Blockade Battlefront, which I can only describe as "hella shonen anime".
- Gintama, which should be more of the same and therefore good.
- Ninja Slayer - New Trigger show. Could be good, could be awful.
- Hibike! Euphonium - New KyoAni show. Fingers crossed that it's decent.

There seems to be alot of yuri or references to yuri lately when it use to be basically non-existent.

I feel like this was just barely a taste. Matsumoto is really shining through the material especially in the sandbox of the odd world. Will probably watch again since I feel like it went by pretty quick.

Totally.
The times, they change, unless you are Lyrical Nanoha and then you are just continuing to insult our collective intelligence.
That first name bomb at the end tho.
Just wanted to say thanks for this. 99% of this stuff flies above my head. Pretty enlightening.
Being samurai is srs business.
Manga series is done by Takayuki Yamaguchi, who also did Apocalypse Zero and based on the first chapter of something called Suruga-jo Gozen Jiai by Norio Nanjo. Apparently it's novel - or maybe a manga. I haven't been able do decipher that.
Anime came out of Madhouse and was directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki of Terraformars fame. (lul)

Hmm, I wonder if it'll be a mix of flashback and new stuff?
I mean considering
Alicia and Athena are still in their uniforms but there's also Ai in her trainee outfit as well.
Either way I cannot wait.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 94
Episodes like this one are a nice reminder of why Hakura and Michiru almost literally stole the show within their first appearance, though brought a maturity and sophistication that just was not present before now. Also since they are the new characters they need more screentime to establish themselves, such as the case in this episode. Up to this point the Outers have professed to be no allies to the Inners as they obsess over this mysterious mission to find the talismans. Beforehand that at best resulted in apathy and non-interference but now the Outers prove themselves to be downright antagonistic should it be required and they are not afraid to use force. Outside of this, this was a fairly weak episode although kudos for actually using an establish character that we had seen previously for once to give the urgency a more personal connection. Granted Unazaki hasn't been seen in a season, but it is more then a fair number get. Still, middling recommendation to watch at best.

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon S: Episode 95
Speaking of extras, this episode is a showcase to Naru and Umino, two characters who wee on the higher end of the supporting cast in season one but now reduced to special guest stars because they lack guardian powers. Indeed this episode is the surprising culmination of a fairly long running sub-plot involving the two of them hooking up. Of course with such reduced screen time and presence one would be hard pressed to really notice it before now, but it isn't something that has come out of nowhere, so kudos for that. Indeed there is something oddly endearing about them as a couple. Also, since is this now the Hakura and Michiru Show with guest stars the Inner Sailor Guardian they of course blow everybody else out of the water couple-wise by a thousand leagues though only Ami seems to have the brains to put together that they really are a couple. Anyway, all and all, this episode is recommend as it give us a rather nice send off for Umino and Naru who are not really going to have this time in the spotlight again.

It's a novel. The following chapters deal with the other fights, and then there's an epilogue of sorts that involves the (few) survivors.

First season was decent, S2 I checked out on halfway through.
Looks like there will be almost nothing good to watch for me on non extended weekend days(fri-sun) this season.
Will give it a try :
-Dungeon ni Deai
-Denpa Kyoushi
-Kekkai Sensen
-Yamadakun to Nananin no Majo
-Kyoukai no Rinne
-Owari no Seraph
-High DxD
Will watch :
-Nisekoi
-Sidonia no Kishi ( looking most forward to this)
-Shokugeki no Souma

Impossible, I wouldn't even compare it to shingeki which is problematic storywise. BLue Exorcist has slow pacing issues. Seraph is rather fast snd invigorating.

Gintama - 012
Warms my heart to see my small country's culture make it into chinese cartoons.
Lost it when he turned the chair and there was a dummy with a wig. Plenty of funny moments and speeches in this episode.

Plastic Memories 1 - What a fucking terrible job. And man I wouldn't be adopting such a human like robot like that if I knew the lifespan was so short, it would be too heartbreaking. That final sequence almost induced tears in me.
Wonder if it will be like that every week. I also guess we'll have it end with MC and his partner running away together Bladerunner style.
After consuming a bunch of #1's I'd almost call it now as my AOTS. Certainly its the best #1 I've watched.

Tapped out of Shingeki No Souma; there's Yakitate Japan food reactions, there's the self same amped up (SnS' manga) and then there's outright underage penetration.
As the old adage goes, you can add spice into a chilli but you can't take it away and JC Staff's opening gambit was to dump the entire canister of the stuff into Souma
Moving on;
Plastic Memories : I liked what I saw with episode one (That one gag at the end being somewhat misplaced) but I'm going to wait and see what the final verdict is on the series as a whole as it could go either way and I'd rather go "oh, that's bad" than regret the time lost.
Show By Rock is absolutely a load of empty calories but I can't hate a show that knows how to actually use CG. If it doesn't go completely spare then I can see this being a decent enough B-Tier show.
Blood Blockade Battlefront : Very good use of assets both in terms of characters and animation. If this can stick for the run time this could easily get to "Next AoT" levels.
Wrong Dungeon : Is it a LN adaption starting Matsuoka Yoshitsugu as the head role? Yes. Does it allow him to actually be funny on a regular basis unlike SAO? Yes.
Yeah, we're good.

So this was a great entry into what I wanted to watch. I loved every second of it, it was funny, it was sappy and it made me tear up. The dynamic between Handa and the rest of the island was pretty interesting to see, especially since Handa has been doing calligraphy all his life without ever getting out; really interesting. Thanks for recommending it!

Show By Rock!! 1
Well the CG was nice and the show was certainly strange, but I can't say it was very entertaining. I don't think I need to see more of this.

Even those who should be in the know fall victim to it.
