Yeah, I keep hearing it goes through a huge tonal downshift pretty soon and poor Subaru...... Those lighthearted moments cannot last forever and if we thought episode 8 was suffering, then damn.......
Yeah I heard the author is a sadist.
Then again I've read books written by Cormac McCarthy....

count me in for Katanagatari endorsement. Probably my favorite anime, the structure is perfect. More 1 hour episodes would be good in general.

True Tears 11
All the drama is building towards the ending. Hopefully Shinichiro choose best girl...

Guess I'll be the one to say Gurren Lagann has all that if you haven't seen it. Plus it's only 24 episodes.

Hollly fuck Mob Psycho 100 is getting an anime? Fuucck yes.
True Tears 09
They're both surprisingly calm considering what happened
Well, finally the truth is out and worst fears thankfully not confirmed. But that means that best girl might lose though...
Do you like the cockroach song?

I could get used to it...
Second Escaflowne and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood though the latter goes through at a blistering fast pace in the first dozen or so episodes whilst the original series took 24 odd episodes to get to that same point.
Grimgar from last season is pretty good, though the ending concludes one specific arc it's not a definite end for the series.

Thanks. TTGL was the second anime I ever watched, right after SAO.. I'm still upset at the ending; my man deserved true happiness.
I'm going with FMA:B and Katanagatari.

What the original Full Metal Alchemist first not Brotherhood.
Original is better than Brotherhood

So, FMA or FMA:B?
I miss nothing either way, right?

I feel like im the vast minority that didn't like Katanagatari.

It's the same content as Brotherhood, right? Brotherhood appears to get a lot more praise. .
Nah.
Original follows the manga upto about episode 25 and then goes in it's own direction and has an anime original main villain.
Brotherhood follows the manga from start to finish.
Personally reading what you've asked for and what you like, I think you should stick with Brotherhood.
No? The original series goes in its own wacky direction due to running out of source material, which brotherhood adapts. Both are good and worth watching.
They essential start off the same but FMA goes in it's own very different direction after a while and Bortherhood is the manga story in full.
Enjoyed Brotherhood more but they are both worth watching imo. The movies aren't bad either

Cornbread's looking for something more conclusive, so I think he'd enjoy Brotherhood more in that regard from what I hear of it.

Definitely Brotherhood. Still easily in my top 10 of all time.

I didn't enjoy Brotherhood much due to the fact it had unnecessary comedic moments during serious scenes.
The original's beginning wasn't rushed like Brotherhood and went anime original. The original is basically it's own different story that doesn't follow the source material.
Anyway like I said it's better if you watch the original first then Brotherhood. Plus it has a GOAT OST.

It really seems like the Kiznaiver program has always worked around the number 7...
Hana to Alice - Satsujin Jiken
Watched this the other day - didn't think much of it, the story as a whole felt quite mundane and I found the character designs weren't distinctive enough that I had difficulties actually following what was going on. There's a few nice moments here and there, but honestly I was underwhelmed.

Is 7 a special number in Japanese like 4 is?

So you did start FMA huh
Finally, you have seen the light.

I've come to the brilliant conclusion that anime would finally be saved if only every scene ever would have a blooming white as its background.
Dennou Coil, the best anime of all time.
Dennou Coil 1-3
I'm watching this together with a friend. Maybe I'll actually finish it this time!
The show's writing isn't particularly flashy so far. This first set of episodes basically establish the rules for the AR universe overlaying the town of Daikoku, in terms of what you can get out of it, how you can bend the rules, and what sorts of dangers await the unprepared. The nice thing is that it's pretty much all shown practically. The only things that are told are basically seeds of greater mysteries to come, like the source of the Illegal viruses, or the metas that make the town special.
But the real star of the show here is the animation, which carries the characterization along with everything else. It's a remarkably consistent show on the whole, and that consistency sells who these people are. Even the opening places a focus on how all the characters run differently. The dynamic movements of the characters imbue the whole show with energy, and sell the sense of adventure.
I get the most animated pleasure from the show's non-human characters, however. All of them are adorable. The whole madcap comedy of Densuke's flight from the Mojos is an absolute delight, bright and expressive, cartoonish in all the right ways.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Yuko integrates into the rest of the town.

Kizunaiver would have been better if it didn't try that bullcrap "hipster seven deadly sins."
Just another reason why Sonozaki is a shit tier character.
Stop.

First we assembled 7 Kiznaivers, then we assemble Denou Coil and Yuri. All we need is some sakuga MAD and the summon will be complete.

Did Funimation say they would be no broadcast dub today? Because no episodes show up :/
Edit: just as I post Netoge gets it's episode but still no Assassination classroom.

Speaking of Dennou Coil, my copy of Collection 1 is in the mail and on my way to me. *excited*

Well, there is a borderline yuri show airing this summer, so...
FMA feedback coming in a bit.
