Of course you do, I'm just pointing out what I've observed and felt, no offence intended.
Yea, in hindsight I can easily imagine it being a drag to someone not interested in the lore.

Did i stick on Alan Titchmarsh by mistake? Lol why am i watching Tomoya do some gardening?
Uh the end of the arc felt a bit flat for me, i can almost feel the end of route VN scenes that are placed in. Because i like everything that leads up to those scenes, and then the drama hits and it just feels a bit anti-climatic. So i guess i prefer the show when it sticks to comedy/slowly building up Nagia and Tomoya.

I know what it symbolized but it was pretty odd.

Netoge ep.8
Another good episode. Despite it's weak ecchi side, its got a giant heart attached to its story, as we saw again this week at the end of the episode. It also gave me this super-cute chibli gif, so I'm happy about that as well! The show has played out a lot more like a standard HS SoL series than I thought it would be, but it has been funny, entertaining and very cute at times.
That is pretty much it, and why many people say the first season is a slog to get through at times. There is a clear purpose to all of these character arcs though and it is all important to endgame understanding.

It's pretty obvious they gonna wait more than 6 months to binge release. I'm tell ya it's dead in the water by then.

What I wish is to have bailed out earlier of the latest spoilery /ak/ thread! :-/
We obsessed people in general can't wait enough to enjoy the best quality experience, because any bad stream will suffice in the end...
My copy was shipped yesterday, so I hope I can enjoy the movie in best home theater quality this weekend.

I liked this downtime episode, but I generally like those. Could've done without the conflict with the samurai dude but eh.
I feel this way every month, but I think I just want to rewatch certain episodes like with Utena or Bebop. I recently rewatched Both of You Dance Like You Want to Win and maaaaaaaaaaan what a fantastic episode.

didn't they get together near the end of season 2? I mean I can't recall if they had the first kiss then but I thought they started dating then.
I haven't really been able to keep up with the anime community (or anime in general) over the last 10 months or so, but MAN My Hero Academia is fucking AWESOME.
It's like the best parts of HxH (the character designs, crazy fights, intense build-ups, and underdog moments) all condensed into a short story. Is the manga still ongoing, because I can't get enough of this shit!

Yes. It's a shonen jump manga, so it'll probably keep going for a while too
How have people been liking it so far? I heard a bit of excitement around it right around the time Naruto ended, but that was when I had to check out because I got a new job and moved twice and just had too much in general going on to keep a consistent eye on the current anime ongoings.

Well, you might want to temper your expectations asking that in here, since it definitely has mixed reviews, lol. I'm enjoying it for what it is though.
You will find a much better reception in it's OT:

Really? Haven't got round to season 2 yet but i just figured it was some crazy late in the manga spoiler(it was like chapter 230 or something).

It's still really good imo. General opinion on the manga has been super positive
Good to hear!

So it seems like Re:Zero's third arc will start from episode 12.
So the second arc will end at episode 11. They're probably doing that to have the new arc start during the summer season.

Used to be. They've been getting better.
Colors and Generations were fantastic and Lost World was all right, if a bit underwhelming.

that might be but the sonic twitter account is a pretty amazing pile of meme garbage, so i think sonic wins overall

Some nice Engrish in this episode.
Thankfully nothing as weird as episode 3 has happened again, and even if they've started the school year now, it's still about the inn. So that's good.

Still don't understand why they made him a reappearing character. "We must support all our customers as best as possible" is good and all, but uh, there's still a line you'd draw?
It's just one of those "oh well, it's an anime series, so maybe the guy isn't supposed to be seen as creepy as he'd normally be." thing.

Nijiiro Days ep. 5-7
This series has been pretty fun so far as the guys hang out and have some fun with their ships. I remember doing a lot of the same thing. I dies laughing at some of the stuff with the tennis match , as well as the cross dressing at the festival. And the beach episode that wasn't a complete ecchi fest was nice as well..
lol what the fuck is this?????????????
Literally as long as Endless Eight. God damn.

Brandon's willingness to drop into extended interior monologues makes his extreme reluctance to speak out loud all the more aggravating.

From what I've read of the spoilers there
doesn't seem to be any more loops back at the mansion, if that's the main problem you have with this current arc.
Episode 11 honestly feels like a good stopping point, I think. I'm not watching the show so this is only an estimate, though.

I have been really slacking on Legend of the Galactic Heroes, but I need to be in the right mood to watch that show, because this is what it is -
It's not something I can marathon because it feels like I'm watching a historical dramatization of stuff that is fictional, which I am into when I feel up to it. It's not well directed, but it looks pretty good for the most part and the character designs are stellar but I can really appreciate the kind of undertaking it is from the sheer amount of characters and voice actors.
So many games have come out recently (OVERWATCH) so I'm kind of slacking on backlogged anime in general. I'm not really in any rush to finish Legend of the Galactic Heroes anyway, although when I go to AX I might end up watching a lot of it with friends who have already seen it.
As for Gundam Wing...I'm barely 1/5th into it and I'm already not sure I can take any more. Watching a LoGH episode and a Wing episode back to back is an experience.

That's only part of it. This arc was nowhere near interesting enough to spend eight episodes on.

It makes sense unless you want everything to be rushed.
They're honestly going at a good pace and leaving 14 episodes for the third arc which is pretty long.
I'm pretty sure the only place to go from here is up ...
This flew way above my head, nice pick.

You'll see
Kanberi of the Iron Fortress Episode 7:
This was a nice breather episode that allowed for some world building and expanding upon the character development of the entire group. Also, take note Attack on Titan, you can have characters beyond the one note you usually play them at, like we get Ikoma's version of "Kill All Titans" in this episode but the rationale is not only optimistic it is nuanced and layered and he therefore is actually likable.

I want it to cut off the obvious fat. There's no reason this arc should have been eight episodes long.
