Is there going to be an english dub of Kiznaiver?

I guess I should actually watch Kiznaiver, since this sounds really appealing to me, and there seem to be a lot of people really praising the show.

Can't promise anything for the last question, but I would also suggest checking out Kuromukuro, Tanaka-kun, and Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou.

But isn't this the point of the show: its through these character interactions and their bonds, do we and the characters see whats actually there, past the facade many of them wear.
UY was a harem 0_0
But I thought Lum was the one.
Date a Live S2 ep.1-2
Oh, we get new spirits right away; a nice set of twins for season 2. The comedy was pretty good, but you can already tell trouble is brewing, plus we never really did see him seal clock girls powers, so.....
Just as an fyi, I really didn't like Season 2 despite really liking season 1

Flying Witch?
Fruits Basket 20
I think this encapsulated everything i like in the show. It was non-stop comedy(Ayame is a treasure, he's so OTT, so charismatic he dominates any scene he's in) most of the time then it suddenly hard cuts to really good character drama and interactions back again to comedy again without missing a beat or feeling like a jarring transition.
Lol when Yuki finally made a move on Tohru i thought "oh yeah this is a romance show" because it literally is almost never focused on.
Id second that.

Not gonna read any of that yet to not spoil myself but that reminds me, I've watched the first 4 episodes of Fruit Basket and so far it's decent. Wasn't a fan of the yandere girl introduced in the last episode. The MC is reminiscent of School Rumble's Tenma which...is not that much of a good thing. It's just this standard overly nice girl that loves to help out in the household and happens to inspire everyone with her niceness.
The premise with this animal curse is okay. The comedy with it works but the drama angle on this feels a bit flat to me (that they feel like they have to distance themselves from other people). Maybe that's mostly done already. Anyways, I'll see if the next couple episodes feel more compelling, otherwise I'm not sure I'm really all that eager to continue.

Flying Witch is definitely recommendable if you want a deliberately relaxing show.

Hundred ep.8
All Claire Harvey episode, that didn't disappoint with the trash. I will say that I'm not a big fan of this whole "hunters" subplot. They just need to bow down and cower in fear to the almighty class press, dirty butt cheeks Claire....

If I'm not mistaken, in the preview for the next episode they finally reached their destination. Honestly, I was happy that they killed the Fake Titan and turned on the afterburners out of that station for good.
Id be with you in that i found the first few episodes a bit weak as well. The animal gimmick is just that...a gimmick. It pretty much disappears fairly quickly. The MC is default shoujo nice girl, not gonna deny that.
I think the show really comes into its own when the rest of the extended Somha clan is introduced and start playing off one another. There's one particular episode that shows how tragic a relationship with a Somha can be that is kind of the first stand-out episode for me.

Even if it isn't as good as Barakamon, Flying Witch is a fantastic sol anime. By watching it I'm getting my fill of sol.
It's so freaking relaxing and enjoyable. If you don't want action or drama then Flying Witch is a good show to watch to get some stress off.
It's one of the best shows airing this season.

Also where's my Bluray/DVD release of Barakamon?
Seriously what's taking so long? Even Ping Pong got a release.

Samurai Flamenco Ep 1-7
I can't stop laughing, it took me a while to get into this but I think I'm binge watching the rest now.

Wow my relaxed hero SoL just went places! I thought was going to be about naive Hazama teaching Goto about justice or something with it's well written characters and believably pathetic real life consequences. Looking back though they've been cleverly sprinkling more and more incredible elements in from episode to episode with Flamenco Girl as Batman to the impossible gadgets from the stationary supplier. Still the drug raid, mutant gorilla and sudden police officer decapitation completely blindsided me, I still expected the start of Ep8 to be a director shouting 'Cut!' and for it all to be a giant fake out.
Here we go!

When was this announced?
Edit: Oh crap they're releasing Blood Blockade Battlefront too.

Samurai Flamenco is the best anime since Code Geass R2.
In terms of romantic progression and character interactions, it's not that great.
It's god tier smut however.
This is what Righstuf has and I think this is what my mail said (deleted it though).
3-part OVA that's supposed to be an anime original prequel.

What's the chance WIT will screw up the OVAs for The Ancient Magus Bride?
Actually that's the shows biggest failing for me. They try to make them seem deeper but it's super boring and generic. The tough guy is scared of dogs, so what?
My favourite is nico though, since the show actually points out how stupidly pointless any depth to her is. Her big thing is that she puts on the eccentric act to keep people away, and isn't genuinely like that, but then the characters themselves point out how this is in itself eccentric so she really isn't doing anything. It's like the illusion of character depth, like you peel away the first layer of her and underneath is an identical layer. It's hilarious.

It's basically the staff of Hozuki no Reitetsu, which is excellent, so I'm hyped.
No, no, no, you've misunderstood. Nico stated that she comes from a rich family and is afraid people will resent her for that, so she has developed her quirky personality as a way of getting people to see her as harmless and cute instead of aloof and elite. She's trying to prevent people from reacting negatively towards her.

That's what makes it the best. Magical girls > regular girls.
Its a toss-up for me. From the PV the visuals look on point. Itll all depend on what story they want to tell. Good prequels are a rare beast, since they usually get too bogged down in trying to connect things with the original story rather than tell their own.
So i guess im cautiously optimistic. But still happy its getting any kind of adaptation at the same time, and it wouldn't be hampered visually by a TV anime schedule.

Claymore ep.6-8
Wow.. a This Theresa and Clare backstory certainly won't places.. I need a class of water and a cig to chill. That was damn gross. Then that closing scene must have been the inspiration to what we saw at the end of School Days. Yikes...

Sailor Moon Crystal 8
In the end, Hotaru is the primary redeeming point of this show. The real reason I continue to watch this. Too bad she's doomed to always be a bit player even when she's one of the more important figures. Though I'm a bit confused as to what she was doing during the Silver Millennium. The Outers reveal their true dark goal, the Inners continue to contribute all of nothing, and Chibi-Usa keeps on making things harder for everyone.

Concrete is pretty good, I just started it this weekend. It's a bit confusing at first but it pieces things together as it goes.
Tonkatsu DJ Agetaro is the best show about music since Euphonium, though it's totally different.

Cerberus ep.8
Why can't they just go through with it and kill off that damn 300 yr/old loli already, she is grating to my ears and needs to die painfully. I'm still a lso confused what the hell Erina is doing? She just trying to make a quick buck by selling Hiiro out? Ugghh..

Lol.
notes on the new otaku economy
Book's in Japanese though... the notes make it sound pretty interesting. I like the Otaku generation breakdown.
Mind you the last academic book I read on otaku culture was the Database Animals book and I think that was not a great read.

It's based on a LN, so of course there isn't an ending.
