So this is the show that everyone was really hyped about last season. It seems really good so far.
I love the use of aspect switching between 16:9 and 2.4:1. You don't often see something like that as an intentional artistic decision, the reason you see aspect switching on Christopher Nolans' films like The Dark Knight is because the taller scenes are the ones filmed in IMAX.

Hundred is like a rhythm that embraces you in the heat of the moment. It appeals to your most tribal desire to just
ooga chaka

I can't stop this feeling [ooga chaka]

Girl you just don't realize what this anime does to me

I'm glad I gave Tanaka-kun is a Lazy Bastard a second try after not being impressed by the first episode; liked the second one a lot more. Further evidence that comedy shows always get exponentially better as more cast is introduced.
Though I guess more of the jokes in ep2 were closer to my style of comedy as well.

Manga spoilers: Big Order turns into shit pretty quickly. The protagonist never develops a relationship with any characters nearly as fun or interesting as Yuno or not-Kaworu from Future Diary, the scheming is kinda dull, and it never really develops a good sense of tension.

The show already has mirai nikki beat because protag is not a poopy cry baby.

Dub Live S2 - 06: KISS idol festival
This was legit funny. I like being suprised!
Role reversals is always one of the best things in these kinds of cast shows.
Nico's a legit jerk tho

Dub Live S2 - 07: Crawling in my skin, these flabs cannot conceal
It wouldn't be an idol show without a fat shaming episode. I love/hate how we had one in BOTH seasons, too...
"Thanks for coming to our budget meeting. Our first order of business is --"
"SORRY CAN YOU JUST CUT TO THE CHASE AND GIVE ME MONEY"
>entire council applauds
So this is the result of applause culture. smh
Dub Live S2 - 08: Love Life
In this episode our love livers simulate... dating simulations
Dub Rin (line verbatim): "It's just like a manga!"
Nico shoulda been an actress. She's so good that maybe she could have beaten ScarJo at GOTS
"Eli-cchi... you're such a meddler. Silly girl."
- Nozomi, getting a taste of her own medicine
To think that the closest I've ever truly seen a kissing scene happening in an anime was in Love Live, of all things.
And of course, Nozomi has the deepest lore
Merry Christmas, to the God of μ's from μ's
Dub Rin: "Wow, that sure is a whopper!"

Snow Halation S2 - 09 END: Grand Dad's High Quality Rips
Finally, I've arrived at the final destination. The whole reason for watching two seasons -- to understand a GiivaSunner/Triple-Q in-joke.
Also the inexplicable phenomenon of Japanese schoolgirls being able to resist the cold with absolutely no leggings whatsoever
It's like a blizzard, they're wearing scarves, coats, gloves, but GOTTA HAVE THAT ZR
I don't even understand the conflict they had in this episode. It's like, they needed an episode all for Snow Halation but didn't really know what to do for it. So we got people shoveling snow.
Snow Halation is so good. especially now it has legendary connotations beyond its original context lol.
Glad this is the final episode

Kabeneri of the Iron Fortress has been pretty promising, actually.
Also no sweat, I've lurked this thread for like 4 years now even when I had nothing to watch.

Sounds like Ancient Magus' Bride.
I'm pretty sure everyone is watching Mayoiga as a so bad it's good comedy and even then people are complaining about it being boring cause nothing is happening yet.
Kiznaiver had a pretty mixed reception. I liked it but I guess your mileage will vary. Both those shows are written by Okada by the way.
Would say that Kabaneri, Joker Game and Bungou Stray Dogs are some other shows you should check out but I doubt they're good enough to make you resume watching anime.
Mahou Tsukai no Yome ?
Out of curiosity, what are the other ones ?
I personally liked Kiznaiver a lot, but ymmv.
Re:Zero has been pretty great so far. It's a 'person transported into fantasy world'-type of story, with an interesting twist *cough* timeloop *cough*. It also has some pretty good dialogue and great action scenes. The first episode is double length and the first half is a bit slow, but it's worth it.
If you can enjoy a 'classic' action shonen that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is just really well done and enjoyable, try My Hero Academia.
Well Flying Witch is the standout for me, but not everyone is into those kinds of pleasant slower paced shows.
BLOOD AND EUPHONIUMS

Cerberus is a must watch for the comedy and cool lead who is weak think. Its very fun.
Shonen Maid is great too. Id alsi suggest Super Lovers.
Lastly do watch The Lost Village. Its such a suspensful and fun anime.

Bakuon!! 03
Frizz-chan and Rin carry this show so fucking hard. Stig, the Ojou and MC are just there as window dressing at this point. I also demand Rin never stop wearing her race suit.
Macross Δ 03
Anyone who is surprised the MC beat the ace teacher hasn't seen enough anime. MC still sucks ass though.

Inertia mostly. It's hard to get back into something you've left unfinished for a while.
