So what is it called when a harem breaks apart or is killed off?
Ore Monogatari!! Episode 1:
Among the strongest of debuts thus far, I am looking forward to seeing how this one plays out in the episodes ahead. That being said, I am already tiring of generic waifu as she is less a character and more a plot device to motivate the main leads.

Get back here you simpleton
Even though I haven't truly enjoyed any other kyo-ani series since Hyouka, I remember finding the first episode of Hyouka to be not so interesting either. Will just have to give Euphorium a few more episodes first before dismissing it.
Also like Ore Monogatari the most out of all the other weds shows so far.

Eureka Seven - 42
Well, I guess I really just don't care about the characters much anymore when
At the end of ep41 Eureka finally got her terrible hair fixed, though, that's nice.
Yeh I don't hold this show in high regards and considering my lack of investment in any of the charactersby now, it actually became less and less, which is a very bad signI doubt anything this final stretch will throw at me is going to change that. The OST and animation quality deserve a better anime. I'd drop it if I didn't invest so much time already.

all I feel is indifference...or I'd prefer seeing Holland just die off already so I don't have to see his face anymore.

I'll probably keep watching it for a while... but Amagi was the first KyoAni show that I just stopped watching, which a few years ago, would have been unthinkable for me. I mean, I finished KnK for god's sake.
That happened to me too. It was the first current Kyoani show I bailed on since I started watching anime like this. I like Euphonium already though. And whilst I liked Tamako Market (despite the bird) this is the first post Hyouka show I have whole heartedly liked from the start.
You know looking back at older shows like K-ON! and Eureka 7, I'm impressed with old-Gainax. Despite the number of megahits they had, they never chased that white whale unlike Bones, KyoAni, and Sunrise. All three of which stumbled and fucked up, with Sunrise still in the process of fucking up while chasing after Code Geass.

Cross Ange will be the Code Geass of the decade.
But with less than 1/10 of the sales.
Sometimes the universe gets it right.
Recently put in my Garden of Words BluRay and for the first time looked over the extras. Anyway one thing I spotted was they included a full set of storyboards set to the audio of the film.
Love this. What I'm wondering is just how common this is kind of extra? Its the first time I've come across it.
Given I tend to make do with streaming, are there many disc releases that have lots/substantial extras? I guess nothing like say Jacksons LOTR film extras exists in anime.

Sentai movie releases used to have extras. The K-On release had everything except the director's commentary, IIRC.
(I can't remember if her London travelogue was on the disc)
Most recent anime are barebones, which is why I just stopped getting them.
Disagree. At the very least, Beyond the Boundary is a fascinating failure.
Mikagura School Suite 01
Well that was... that was something. The set up is pretty standard, the art and animation are unremarkable and the characters are rather stock... the yuri.
The protagonist is hella gay. Not even "blushes one time when she sees a pretty girl", gay but "plays yuri VNs and reads yuri manga" gay.
I honestly might have dropped this but...the yuri.
With all that said, I still don't think Mikagura is great. but hopefully it picks up in the coming episodes.
Oh right, the protagonist voiced by Juri Kimura (Aoi from Shirobako). I like her voice, and i'm glad she's already getting more lead roles.

Those aren't so common. Extras depend on the publisher for the discs. Aniplex is pretty much:
Audio commentaries
bonus CD
booklet
postcards (if endcards)
OP/ED/CMs
Digipak/sheer case.
The release for Uchoten Kazoku had the storyboards for the episodes on the discs and the Eva movies have the script on discs. Hanasaku Iroha's movie had both storyboards and recording script in addition to a booklet which featured commentary from the director/main staff. K-on! had the storyboards for the movie. Tamako's BD-Box had the storyboards for episodes 2/9 while the movie had the storyboards for OP/Confession/Confession 2/ED.
As given by my examples, it's not unusual, but it's not ordinary either.
Right. OK. I'm more interested in things like documentary pieces or interviews and such, as well as storyboards. For the most part things about the production process.

Funimation's release of Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shambala had a good amount of that as I recall. It was a pretty nice release.
The Patlabor and Patlabor 2 special editions also came with full storyboard booklets along with some additional supplemental material. They're excellent sets.

Rinne 1
What a pretty boring start to an anime. The only highlight is Rinne's character design, and his voice being that of Haikyuu!! Kageyama/NagiAsu's Tsugumu, and thats it. I guess the ghost extermination plot has just been so done so much now that a story that isnt doing anything interesting with it just comes across as a been there done that type of affair. Maybe it will take off...

Wait, is this that anime that was like a Subaru advertisement which came out several years ago?
Yeah, it's got a full show this season.

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO! 1
Ahh. Welcome back Hachiman and the Service Club.
Great first episode. Hachiman is still himself. Best girl Yui is still super cute. Forgot Ebina was a crazy fujoshi. Yukinoshita feels a little less snarky however.
My biggest gripe however is the change in art style. I could barely recognize the characters (even though I forgot a lot of them). Yukinoshita looks way too cute this time and her resting bitch face is totally nonexistant. Its like shes a different character now :/
I dont remember from S1 if things were heading towards a Yukinoshita x Hachiman pairing but I sure hope it doesnt. The real OTP is Hachiman x Totsuka. Hachiman dude already delivered an ace wall bang in the train, desires to protect smiles and is looking forward to a bath together. Let the man be happy!
I really need to rewatch S1, I forgot almost everything. I was expecting a quick refresher this ep.

Amazing!
Aww, so it's just a magical girl show then? What does Subaru even get out of it? lol
Yeah, I was confused for a while myself.
Also the "OTP" is Batman x Teacher. Even the game made it so!
Linebarrels of Iron 04-06
So that's what it takes to get Koichi to snap out of his delusions, join the Judean Peoples' Front, and overcome the prologue. Having
feels a little too expected and also cruel, but with the way Koichi was acting - including denying that he needs Linebarrel even after things got worse - only something close to that would've snapped him out of it.
And it seems the universe loves karma. He's not quite as passive as he was at the start of the series, but at least he's dialed it back to not being totally mad with power. I like pretty much everyone at the Judean Peoples' Front, with Rachel remaining the best. The talent competition was extremely goofy, considering what happened in the episode beforehand, but I have a feeling that something like that won't be seen again for a little while.

Weird. They all looked the same to me.
That certainly has been my desire from episode one. Am guessing I won't get that though. I imagine even in the novels its all status quo.
Ore Monogatari episode 1
Better than I expected. Yamato's voice is a little too high, but I guess it fits.
Wish Upon the Pleiades episode 1
Nanako is awesome. Nanako is boss. Nanako is a goddess. Fuck the rest of the characters, give me more of her. I love how her seriyuu uses two different voices for her character.

One for the character, one for the times when the alien blob is talking through her.
Wait, this show came out of a Subaru ad?!

MY love STORY 1
Suna's laugh is precious. Haruka Nanase va keeps voicing such great character, will be great to hear him in this role and also as Furuya for this entire season and the next.
Still have Suna and Raku Ichijou as my favorite pair, too bad that crossover will never be animated.
Alright start, had already read chapter 1 or so and etc.

It was a Subaru collaboration, but it had enough to it that people could - and are - enjoy it as a regular magical girl show.
You can check it out here. It's pretty short.
Still, wow.

Mikagura Gakuen Kumikyoku - 01
She's got excellent taste in other girls. Onto the show itself, yea its got me interested. Sure its one of those club battle anime shows it seems but this time the MC isn't your atypical self insert character so I'm looking forward to this.

Who was Batman again? Teacher is great though
This seasons art is much softer and rounder than the first. Happy (and sad) about the status quo tho.

Listening to this all throughout the OVA was phenomenal. It made me laugh really hard. Same Old Gintama is coming back strong. It really did destroy me when the Ultimate Move's purpose was to be used against Sponsors.

Yona of the Dawn 16
We discover everything about Soo-Won's visit to the Earth clan was exactly as keikaku to get the Earth clan's trust for his upcoming ambitions. While these two episodes were fun this felt like the wrong time in the series to shift focus to Soo-won when Yona does not have her full team yet.
Assassination Classroom 8
I guess the scene I was thinking about happens later in the series
Kind of a slow episode with some really funny moments at the end. We do get a tease of Koro-sensei's past though I'm not sure if the anime is going to get far enough to reveal that this season.
Death Parade 8
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN
Intense episode, depending upon how they stick the landing with episode 9 these two could be the best episodes of Death Parade.

Kurokan Episode 5
One game but finally some focus on the actual players. I like how they are taking into account the individual players personalities and backgrounds. Protecting Masamiya's pride and doing these risky types of plays. The final minute was extremely exciting, wow.

This event happens much later in the manga, and wouldnt have made it into the first season otherwise. It does feel like it was awkwardly placed but it was important for the viewer to see how capable Soo Won really is as a king.

Hachiman = Batman because he's basically being the martyr like in Dark Knight. lolWho was Batman again? Teacher is great though

My favourite part of one of the fansubs was that they replaced the OP with one of the Nolan Batman themes. It just fit so perfectly.
