Digimon Tri #4-8
Ken reprising his role as the bad guy feels like a pretty obvious red herring, and it didn't help that the agent lady did a ridiculously stupid thing by taking the new mysterious cat digimon and leaving it alone in a place with nobody else around when she was dead serious about doing her job and not relaxing up to then. I had to do something else for a while so I ended up interrupting the episode, and thinking about it in the meantime made it ridiculously obvious that she was a bad guy because of how out-of-character what she did was... but of course the show had to explicitly have her reaction shot change from a frown to a grin for a split second when the cat thing went rogue and killed Leomon (again).
Re:Zero #10
Still my favorite show this season, with Kiznaiver a close second.
JoJo #10
I never thought we'd end up seeing a completely non-threatening stand user, and yet here we are... I actually expected the spaghetti to turn into Okuyasu's dead skin or something, but once I was proven wrong I guessed he was just a chef who used his stand to make perfect food or something. Still, I can't get over how his food made people's internal organs burst out of their bodies before being fixed offscreen, and had come to expect at least some exposition about how his stand actually worked.

Crazy Diamond already repairs things after punching them to smithereens, so why not this?

There are a handful of LN adaptations that have been completed. Besides the ones you mentioned there are ones like Oreimo, Golden Time, Familiar of Zero, Shana.

I've noticed that me and you have similar tastes in anime. Maybe it has something to do with the air in Canada.
Or maybe it's because I can sympathise and feel the same pain as you because of Kizu. We connect through wounds!
For a bit there, I was wondering if Crazy Diamond was fixing the damage as it happened but the viewer just wasn't privy to seeing it happen.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
MHA is a big hit and runs in WSJ. It's never getting finished in anime because it's gonna run super long in original form.
Even something like Shokugeki is gonna run 300+ chapters and never get finished in anime form. They ran a 2-cour season and got to Chapter 61.
The thing is we never got an explanation of Tonio's stand, and the (greater) healing always happened offscreen. I was expecting that the stand would be a group of mini-stands like Bad Company, only used as seasoning to give food healing properties by acting from inside their target after being eaten, and that Tonio would then pick the "leftovers" up (tears, dead skin, blood) since that was the way he could recover his stand (because it'd hide itself in there or something).
Instead, we got a "he cooks delicious, addictive food that results in gore, and then the target's healed offscreen and gets a lot better in the process", which wasn't enough of an explanation for me when most JoJo stands tend to get explained (at least a bit) before their plot lines get wrapped up.

Aa, out of those, I am only familiar with Shakugan no Shana (which I think was the first anime I watched that has characters with long, ridiculous nicknames like "Transporter of Ceremonial Objects" or some such). That ended too, huh. I stopped watching because the pace was too slow in the middle.

Flowers of Evil 05
Once again I have a new word to describe this show - Voyeuristic. This episode in particular had tons of long and drawn out shots of Saeki and Kasuga doing nothing in particular, but because of the framing and the knowledge that Nakamura is watching them it comes off as more then a little creepy. The direction in this show is masterful, to say the least.
But it isn't just from Nakamura's angle, it's also from Kasuga's. Maybe he is a crazy deviant.
Oh and I found more evidence of Kusoga being a piece of shit
Kasuga imagines Saeki literally embracing him with light. GOOD GOD man. Get over yourself, you hopeless romantic asshole. And now he feels enabled to deify his Muse, even though she said "If you're alright with me" which no one says unless they have huge issues and hangups. Kasuga will probably just ignore that though. Nakamura is still worse though, at least Kasuga isn't a sociopath.
blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Then please don't look into Oreimo. You can thank me later.
I actually liked it for the parts that didn't focus 100% on Kirino (mostly Kuroneko's arc, but then the MC dumped her for Kirino and I was all like "no").
No, the anime ended at the end of volume 11 and there hasn't been a new one since. The author has been writing Oregairu ANOTHER, a short series released with the JP BD releases that is an alternate retelling of stuff that happened during the 2nd season and more focused on Hikki and Yui's relatonship. That ended, so hopefully volume 12, which is rumored to be the last one comes out soon. It's been almost a year since the last volume.
Seriously can't wait for episode 7's.

There's only one more volume? I was sorta thinking, maybe it'd be 3 years before we saw some sort of continuation in anime form. With only one volume, it'd have to be... an OVA?
Or a movie. Remember, it's just a rumor, but the wait for this volume has been way longer than the wait for any other volume, so the rumor makes sense.

Well it definitely seems like it fits the tone of the manga.
Hope it turns out great.

If it was a movie that would mean another year on top of the release date, because of having to wait for the BDs to be out... ahhhh. Okay I may as well just start saying it'll be another 3 or 4 years from now, that we will be seeing anything. And I'm not even counting the 1 year that has already passed since SNAFU2.

*Looks up the director* Huh, I didn't know Noramimi got an anime. Untranslated though.
Wait, why are they casting a new seiyuu for Handa? I'm pretty sure Ono Daisuke can do a young male voice.

I mean it was obvious to see the one part near the ending happening, but I didn't expect the ending.

Yup, contains one of my favorite anime scenes.
Btw. I was just searching some Aku no Hana episode listing on google when I saw this article from Kotaku Flowers of Evil is a boring, unengaging anime. Lmao. Guess they somehow outdo their garbage 'games journalism' with their anime articles. Quite the feat.
Kotaku's been doing a lot of good work lately, but Richard Eisenbeis has always been an absolutely terrible anime reviewer, and it's not just about his taste.

Isn't Aku No Hana basically all Unnerving tension? I recall feeling insects under my skin while watching that.

One of his points is Bad – A Thoroughly Unlikeable Main Cast, so he doesn't even understand the show. And I'm not usually one to make that claim since its snobbish, but since its Aku no Hana...

It's OK. Seems pretty standard shounen; nothing particularly amazing or awful. The nature of the Akuma here reminds me of the Horrors in Garo, although I expect this series executes the concept much worse. The backstory of this episode's Akuma was already ridiculous.

Not really. Each series is basically a self-contained story in a connected universe. Though, some things more than others will make a lot more sense, or you'll get more references and stuff if you've seen the others.
I'd recommend going through all of them at once point if possible though, as i've enjoyed what the series offers.
No, it's standalone but with nods to previous works.
Kinda looks like she has a pig in front of her mouth.
....shit.
Nice, should I watch them in a certain order? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross I see a chronological order here in the wiki article.
really there isn't much to worry about in regards to the LN being traslated.
Yen On already announced the release dates for volumes 1 and 2.
so far they haven't stopped releasing any series that I buy (or any others that I know of but I am not sure if they have ever stopped releasing a series due to poor sales)
but if that wasn't enough... a few months ago Kadokawa Corporation took majority control of Yen press (aka the main company for Yen On)
Media Factory owns the rights to Re:zero who also happens to be owned by the Kadokawa Corporation.
aka short of the Kadokawa Corporation going under or yen press going under it's very unlikely that Re:zero won't get fully translated, and at this time neither company seems likely to go under.

I recommend the original and "Do you remember love?". Delta and Frontier are fun and all, but I preferred the original overall to both.

Great, I am now imagining Don Cherry doing a Coach's Corner segment on the current season of anime, hahaha
Someone on this board can impersonate him well for that.
Yeah, no... Even as a short, it is beyond doo-doo.

Really tired of the shitty villains on Macross Delta. They are shit-tier versions of the Yamato 2199 villains. Thinking of just scrubbing future episodes now, which is too bad.
