Not as long as a mecha fan like myself sticks around and continues to promote good shows.
Watch Giant Robo, Shin Mazinger Z, Eureka Seven, Getter Robo Armageddon, G Gundam, Majin Bone, etc. etc.
Majin Bone isn't mecha, but I'll put in this post anyway as a

So ろん is singing GomaChan's opening, thank God I decided to take a look at it, she is one of my favorite singers, I hope she starts to get spotlight just like Claris did.

I'm down. I'm a sucker for these fantasy worlds.
I know, I know. It's not a priority right now, plus I'm trying to rewatch a couple of things alongside the new premieres in preparation for Concrete Revolutio Last Song.
You can rest assured that I will not watch Angel Beats.
Little Busters, not Angel Beats ( both are really good though, lol)
We all need a little Hundred in our lives. It's great that we get Hundred instead of Calvary and still Asterix this season
Well some are pretty unwilling to pay for streaming media at any price.

Joker Game 01
A little slow at the start, giving us exposition. I thought it was really cool, and I dug the whole atmosphere coming off of the agents. I do find the lead a bit annoying, he's one of those thick headed patriots that believe in nothing but that their country is the greatest. The ending of that episode however was what grabbed me and I'm curious to watch more. The name of the show is Joker Game, and we saw it happen twice in this episode. I'm imagining the show having a lot of deceiving stuff going on, with unexpected turns. I can fucks with that.

I'm up to the Buu Saga of DBZ, and little things keep changing about the videos on Funimation. The latest change is that it's now using the Bruce Faulconer music. It was all original score in DB, and original score in DBZ all the way up until episode 195, then suddenly, it became like Looney Tunes Z. Everything has a music cue now. The music changes styles depending on which character is talking, and the music never quits, it's wall-to-wall. It's weird.
Also finished Gintama°. Good stuff overall, but that last arc wasn't really as impactful or emotional as I was hoping it would be. It also seemed like
I guess that just seems weird to me. Like a huge chunk of info is missing.

they just sorta flew away at the end? Did I miss something? Odd Jobs and friends are in the airship, they're being pursued by Yoro, they get hit with cannon fire as whatshisname falls to his death, and...they get away? They didn't show any of that. How'd they get away? Did Yoro just give up? No one's interested in pursuing them after all that?

Slogging through all these animes that aren't Anne Happy makes me wish I was watching Anne Happy.
I watched the first episode of Luluco and Imaishi's back. I'm so happy. ;_;
Seconding this opinion. Jeeg got incredibly overlooked because it had the misfortune to air in the same season as Gurren Lagann, but it's a great show. Only gets better as it goes along too, the last two episodes are some amazing stuff.

My Love Story 1-4
I probably have the dumbest smile on my face every second I'm watching this, it's fucking great.
In the end I couldn't stomach any more of the drama in SNAFU so I moved onto this, really glad that I did.

I think I've seen a few glimpses of what happens near the end due to a screencap and some footage I saw in AMVs, and I have to say I'm super hyped.
Mecha shows like this are great.

You guys weren't kidding about kagewani it's gorgeous
First season of yamishibai is worth a watch if you like Kagewani as you can see how the style becomes more refined as it goes along.

Sankarea ep.1-2
Now this is some weird shit. So the dude only likes zombie chicks (that don't exist) but he comes from a very normal family background and has a super hot cousin that digs him.
The main girl is nearly perfect, but has a perverted creepy, over protective father that takes a nude picture of her every year on her birthday and tries to keep everyone away from her. Shes so distraught that she
This is some messed it up stuff in just the first two episodes...

That dumb smile won't leave your face the entire time either. It's super sticky sweet and avoids any kind of drama 95% of the time.

Ok
Now kagewani has a tremors episode.
Two western horror references in a row, not coincidence anymore 2 good. Hopefully there's a The Thing reference.

What do you guys use to keep track of your animes? I just found out about hummingbird and while its more visually appealing its not as responsive as Myanimelist so I'm just going to keep using that instead. hummingbird is so slow that i change my avatar and it just stays processing, I tried to go from the smilie rating to stars and it won't switch cause it just sits there loading, anime recommendations don't show up... its like that site is completely broken. i even turned off my browser plugins and it still extremely slow. don't know why anyone would use it over MAL
i want more animes like this. its so goofy and cliche but it has its own charm to it, plus like you, it keeps me smiling.

I use Hummingbird. Used to use MAL but it was slow on updating the total time of anime that I watched. Sometimes I think that it would be nice to go back to MAL, but I don't think it would let me import my Hummingbird list, and I don't want to start everything over with the amount of anime I've watched. Would take way too long.

Kagewani S1: End
Absolutely breathtaking visuals accompanied by a group of fantastically written horror shorts dealing with monstrous creatures that all tied neatly together in a theme at the end. I wasn't left yearning for more, but a second season is welcome. Shame I didn't watch it when it aired as I could have voted for it in the season/year.
Will watch the other horror show Narag mentioned, I'll probably wait till closer to end of season before I binge watch the second season of Kagewani, since it wouldn't take long to do so.
I'll give it 9/10 Woofs, highly recommended and it has the seal of approval.

Yeah the announcement for S2 came out of left field but the first ep picked up where it left off so here's hoping it doesn't fucking suck. animeeeeeeeeeee

Hummingbird is the microsoft zune of online anime tracking websites. One is better off sticking with mal as its legacy and support imply it will be around for the long haul and has an strong database for both anime and manga.
Animeplanet and ann are both alternative options.
Keeping a google docs sheet is also viable if youre a spreadsheet mastermind and detail oriented it could be the best service.

I just do the $60 a year thing. Ends up being cheaper.
Yup, great program that made MAL painless to use.
Wow, why I didn't keep up on this news. It turns out Emi Nitta, the seiyuu for Love's Live Honoka was accused of doing AV.

The av pics in question......yeah even if the agency denied the moles on her body, her teeth structure is exactly the same which nobody can deny. Sad to see her career is gonna get killed off even if the rumors weren't true.

Joker Game 1
It was a nice opener, but it remains to be seen whether they can establish the characters needed to keep this compelling. Naive narrators and smirking mystery men won't cut it for long.

Yes, the 1999 and 2011 have big differences in presentation. The 1999 is easily superior from the beginning up through the Heavens Arena arc, taking a much more sensitive character-focused approach than the 2011's rather standard adaptation of the same material. The following Yorkshin arc has good qualities in both versions. The 1999 version only covers Greed Island in some mediocre OVAs and doesn't cover the Chimera Ant or Election arcs at all, so if you're interested in those 2011 is your only option.

In a world where AV also means audio video let's just make it clear and call it porn lol I was like "well of course she works in the audio and video industry"

The 1999 version from what I understand does a better job than the 2011 version regarding the first two arcs.
Everything after that, the 2011 version does better. I haven't heard anyone mention how the 1999 version of the subsequent arcs is better than the ones in the 2011 version.
EDIT: What hosanna said as well.

Fantastic Children 15
As the show pulls back on the curtains on its central mysteries, I unfortunately feel my interest slipping away. It feels like the writing is getting clunkier in how it's delivering its exposition. I still can't bring myself to care about Greecia and am a bit loath to see how Thoma is going to be brought into this. There were some really pleasant backgrounds this episode though.
