Pinky in the Brain didn't need its own show.

honestly it's not that bad. it just came outta nowhere is all lol. considering how serious(?) haifuri has been up to this point is the issue
I'm not turned off. I'm in a state of shock.

And yet it was more enjoyable than freakazoid and Animaniacs fucking combined.

As an aside, I have no idea what Haifuri is but usually when I see comparisons made to Pinky & The Brain I'd usually consider it a positive
Huh. I can't say I disagree with any of these points. It's weird because I figured the show would take care of all its world-building in the first season but it STILL seems to be world-building even now. It's not a direction I expected them to take.
Wait are those real things? I thought MPR was just joking around!
Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to be dismissive of anyone's opinion. I was legit curious because my reactions were pretty divorced from a lot of people.
I haven't seen Go Nagai's entire filmography but I'm mostly familiar with him through Cutie Honey, Mazinger and Devilman. I'm not seeing the parallels in what happened in this episode of CR to those though I certainly haven't seen ALL the Cutie Honey, Mazinger and Devilman material out there.
O really?

Oh man there's a second season of Shokugeki no Soma next season? I should get around to watching the first one... still worth it?
Also Love Live Sunshine and Mob Psycho 100; I confused Mob Psycho with Boku no Hero Academia at the start of this season lol

As long as that Octagon keeps Niko pure
Ooo, is this going to be like Shirobako/Sore Ga Seiyuu but with vidya games?

I see.
Degenerates that's who!
You are selling this to me.
Hmm... I did like Pinky and the Brain as a kid... not sure what happened in High School Fleet exactly that connects to this...
Well, at least I'm not making it, so I'm not one!
Space PatrOL LULUco 05
That big bad pirate music used for Luluco's mom was chilly. I had to listen to that again when they both crashed onto Earth.
OVER JUSTICE. JUSTICE IS OVER!!
And the commander got owned.
Big boobed Space Pirate Lalaco lifting the piece of land into space and the reselling it like reselling items shoplifted?
NOT JUSTICE!!

Summer season looks like a fille season and all the big hits happen in fall.

This is the cycle we always find ourselves in.
"It'll be better next season, for sure."
this season so far is legit good though
can't disagree but good solid season so far. I still haven't even gotten around to watching the other trigger show yet.
Summer Anime 2016 |OT| Orange Is The New Gray
Not particularly so.
The manga descended into worse than Bleach tier in some respects by now though the story won't get there in second season yet
pls

I don't think this season has any remarkable shows.
Clearly weaker than winter and maybe the weakest season this year - though maybe too early to tell.

You think the Summer OT title will have something other than an Prisma Illya 3rei!! reference?
My Hero Academia Episode 5:
So at last we are beginning to meet some of the other students and I think that is becoming a real problem with this program as it basically the All Deku All The Time Show and he is nowhere interesting enough to carry that designation. Watching the Hunter X Hunter series does make me see with even greater clairty just how much MHA is sleepwalking through the shonen cliches.

I would disagree. Summer has quite a few interesting looking shows:
91 Days
Battery
Days
Mob Psycho 100
Orange
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu S2 (not sure if this has been definitively confirmed for summer, but these things are usually split-cour)
And a few other shows I'm curious about such as Kono Bijutsu-bu ni wa Mondai ga Aru and Sweetness and Lightning. That's a promising season in my books.
There's a Show by Rock short series airing in the summer. The full season 2 is probably coming in the fall.
The Lost Village 05
Despite the fact that very little concrete has actually happened and the show continues to keep its future shrouded in mystery I've been digging it and this episode keeps that going. The paranoia is hitting a fever pitch and hot damn if I'm not excited to see the breaking point of these characters (some seem very close) and this group.
Kiznaiver 04

I'm going to place my bets on Battery (even though I know little about it outside of the premise).
Lots of other shows this summer also look fun, I don't think it's going to be a bad season.

Listless Tanaka 4
Ohta: uses computers for the internet but not to print things
man it sure is lucky she was Cute All Along huh. good thing for her debut
lol. Tanaka admitted it.
Didn't like either of perfect girl's 'personalities', but the compromise end product was pretty cool.

Grimgar - Episode 11
Man this is probably the first time I've actually thought to myself how tiring it would be to work in a dungeon like this, survive, AND THEN have to make it all the way out and walk home. Where's my warp spell?
Man my heart was racing during the last part. Aggroing every single fucking mob in the dungeon. Reminds me of the scaffolding in Vanilla WoW Van Cleef and how easy it was for someone to aggro everything.

My Hero Academia 05
Great episode, I enjoyed it throughout. Deku has one hell of a homeroom teacher. I'm liking the pace of things even more now, in sync with Deku's feelings and determination.
My brother was watching it with me said it seems boring haha. Sham it is easy to overlook this as a standard superhero shonen.

I don't really understand why they chose to pace this so lethargically considering the number of episodes they have. I wouldn't even consider this show to be a great ad for the manga.
And Bakugou already has me at the point where I feel the need to scrub through any scene he speaks in.

Mary really wants to win the Haru (Hal) bowl doesn't she?
It was worth watching all of the slow first couple of episodes for these last two episodes.
I have to say this show really fits the "comfy" description. Something about the music and the art. To me their poverty accommodations look comfy.

Summer has ReWrite, Orange and Soma, so I'm good with it.
Oh, plus Handa and Tales of Zestiria. Maybe Hatsukoi Monster as well.

I don't believe the air date for Yuri on Ice has been announced, but it's probably fall.

If you maybe exclude Love Live, Ufotable's Tales (though I don't think anyone truely expects a great anime) there isn't anything with a lot of hype in the summer season. Time will tell how the summer season performs.
At least we are getting a new football anime.

Kiznaiver 04
This show a very entertaining SoL side of it as we see the characters interacting and learning more about each other, forming bonds. The "love triangle" was expected, but it's being done well enough to not be annoying. On the other hand, we still aren't sure what this Kiznaiver project truly is for, but things are starting to unravel as we see how there seems to be an "evil" side plotting against our 7 protagonists. This still continues to be one of my favourites watches of the season, and every week I keep wanting to see more of these characters as well as learning more about the Kizuna project. This seems the kind of show that is holding its hand cards to its chest, and it's working well for it. Looking forward to episode 5.
