I know N was in the show for a shortish arc, I have no idea how he compared to the game version since I haven't watched any of best wishes
I know about the supernatural part due to the googling. I do still think it's just a silly gimmick. But in a lot of cases I like gimmicks though because usually they add flavor so I don't mind.

I'll wait until Dan Brown appears don't care about the rest.
yes
Yeah although I do think the writers could have not cheaped out and instead have someone just as good fight him with regular pokemons.

Wait so...Kabaneri is on Amazon JP on Wednesday, in English on Thursday but actually airs in Japan on friday? Do I have this right

It may be a gimmick, but it's also the primary hook of the series. I know I probably wouldn't have given a second glance at it if it was "random dudes with supernatural powers" instead of "Japanese literary figures with supernatural powers".
It airs on noitamina Fridays at 12:25 AM (usually written in Japan Thursdays at 24:25), which is Thursdays at 11:25 AM EST. The first episode got a day early stream on Amazon JP; future episodes will be streamed after they air on noitamina. I don't think Amazon has announced how they intend to handle the show outside of Japan.
Heh, true. Like I said, for me it's not a negative against the show, it is what it is, and sometimes things are there because rule of cool.

Subete no aware
Some of the shots are pretty cheesy, the "gotcha" tone is really on the nose, and there's a ton of cheap exposition, but I dig it. Reminds me of live action stuff actually, which might explain the cheese. Animated characters still have better acting than the typical J-Drama though.
That ending bit was so much though. lol
I guess speaking of Jdrama, I wonder if the Live Action film was as on the nose anyway.

Kimikiss Pure Rouge ep.4-6
This show is managing to follow three ships at once and pretty competently as well. Only one of them is an awkward "love-triangle" but I have a feeling there will be another one really soon between two of the mains. This isn't the fun comedy I was looking for going in, but I'll see where it goes slowly.

Pokemon XY 3
Ash using his brain and the terrain and being a competent trainer? James catching Pokemon like a master? What is this!? Froakie is cocky as hell. Dude needs to chill.
Dedenne is mad cute though.
It must be nice to travel the world and capture wildlife with some buds while getting free healthcare and other services.

I initially started watching this while it was airing and enjoyed it well enough, although I ended up putting off the last episode for a few years because I wasn't a fan of how some of the pairing turned out lol.

The Nazis themselves are pretty much the low point of the show to me. Thankfully the arc itself ends strong and really sets up the relationship and dynamic between Rock and Revy.
Kimikiss isn't really a comedy as you can see it falls flat on it. The only thing comedic is the animation error where hoshino has a crossed eye, you know it when you see it.
The ending........eh lets just say it wasn't fair to a certain someone and it's a big douche move. The whole show is meh.
I'm down to watch anything really. My highest rated shows are typically shonen animes, but I've watched most genres.
I've recently gotten into sports animes so I'd like to watch some of those.
- I've watched Kuroko's, Haikyuu and Ping Pong the Animation.
Here is myanimelist which shows what I've watched so far.
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/keffri
I'll be sure to check those out. Most of your completed shows I had never heard of. I'm mostly using Crunchyroll to watch so some of those might not be on there. I'll probably get a sub for Funimation as well.
This past winter season I watched: GATE S2, ERASED, Konosuba, Haikyuu S2.
I was interested in watching Grimgar because of the art. I like the RPG style animes, but it's not enough to make me watch one.
I guess I'll slowly catch up. Most of what I have watched is from the past year.
In 2016 I want to catch up on all the shows that I have missed out on while I was not watching anime. There seems to be a lot but I suppose there isn't any rush.
Thanks for the recommendations guys.
Bungo Stray Dogs 01
Everything felt super flat. There really just wasn't the right sorta build up to really bring much punch to most things, and it never felt like there was a real hook or purpose to what was here beyond the lame references. It was not unpleasant to sit through, but the prospect of watching a whole season of this sounds beyond draining. Heard the manga is really awful too, so I'm not exactly expecting things to really change for the better.

Had to do some waiting tonight for some grades, so what did I do? Tried out another damn anime from this season lol.
Bungo Stray Dogs #1
Honestly after looking at it again, I was kind of hoping to like it a lot, and in some ways I did, but it didn't really hooked me in through. Not exactly sure why, but I guess it just was that much intriguing in ways. Might be too silly for its own good too, through I did like the beginning scene when the MC is determined to steal from someone lol.
Meh I don't know, I likely not go through with it, and hearing a few times that the manga isn't that great isn't helping.

Boku no Hero Academia High School Gakuen! - Episode 1: Smell Ya Later!
For some reason when I started watching I mixed this up in my mind with Mob Psycho 100.
Oh man, GREEN hair mom?! This season keeps bringing the hits.
That being said, I am looking forward to this one, but so far nothing that's setting it apart from One Punch Man and Samurai Flamenco.

I quite liked it myself. In part because of the art, which seems to be from the Amagami creator.
The show itself enjoyed, and I found it interesting from the POV of them creating a single story from apparently multiple game routes.
Not sure where the idea of it being a comedy came from. Its much more a teen romance.

Oh man, game time! I would be psyched to do that.
I finally saw it for the first time a few weeks back.
Even though I loved all of it, the Tessa episodes were the best, because she's objectively the best.
You guys have been saying all the magic names to get me on board. The only thing I knew about this show beforehand was that Chiaki Omigawa is in it.
Now I have Igarashi, Enokido, and Iwasaki.
Mawaru Penguindrum - 03
Welcome to Rock'n roll Night~
Where the hell did the random-ass Fabulous Max come from, lol.
Aniki gives no fucks about anything
And looks like
What.
Outside of that, the Penguins still continue to slay me with every single thing they do. And Ringos daydreams are fun. And Yuris random Fabulous, lol.

stalking, breaking into her house, all fair game.
Ringos Future Diary is just a regular Delusion Diary.
Mawaru Penguindrum - 04
What.
So it's a Future x Delusion Diary? Her date plans make it seems like it's just something she came up herself, but then you always have something random she couldn't have known. Or it's like The Book of Thoth where the things come true... but there's leeway in the how because those entries are so basic. Or it's really just her writing whatever and those strange entries are merely coincidence.
Like that girl just being basically murdered. What. But it's interesting regardless.

Great idea Green Green had, focusing the plot on Yusuke's identity crisis when he regains his memories. As a viewer I really wrestled with whether Yusuke was the cardboard cutout I had known him as for the whole series until this point, or the different person he supposedly becomes when he regains the memories of his past life I don't get to ever fucking see or hear about. spoilers? fuck you it's literally explained every single episode.
In fact, it's really incredible that you can watch that one-minute summary and have exactly as much information about all events that happened in the past as I have upon finishing the anime. What happened? Where the fuck did the story go? Might have helped me care the slightest bit about the relationship if I ever got a fucking glimpse of what they had to go through trying to make it work. Oh and while I'm ranting about story all the fantasy elements show up out of nowhere completely unearned and unnaturally. They could not stick out more as something the writer threw in to make the story work the way he wanted it to with as little effort as possible.
Art is a 15-year-old's Deviantart page. Animation is hardly there. Soundtrack ranges from elevator music to directly clashing with the scene's tone. Plot does nothing but cycle through cliche setups and predictable resolutions you've seen 100 times before. Character personalities range from boring to obnoxious. Character designs were so generic most times I couldn't tell which girl was getting fondled in her sleep this episode. Fanservice was subpar at best. But as shitty as this show is, it's still no Diabolik Lovers. I give it a 2/10 for the rare case where it's so incompetently edited/voice acted it's unintentionally funny. At times it's so bad it feels like a really bad abridged dub. Someone please abridge this show out of existence.

To cleanse my palate, I think I'll watch some Yu Yu Hakusho. I never quite finished the Dark Tournament arc.
Oh, is this your first Ikuhara work? It's always really fun watching people get exposed to his works for the first time.
His style is very distinct.

I'm watching this because it takes place near Calgary, Alberta. Where I live. Alberta always had a big Japanese tourism industry.

KUMA SHOCK!
I'll be sure to keep up with your impressions then!
I won't enlighten you with some of the major elements of his works so you can have fun with those on your first romp! One thing I will mention is that you should definitely consider giving Penguindrum a rewatch once you finish it. It should prove to be very enlightening.
Noted!

Mawaru Penguindrum - 05
That got really tense really fast. I wonder what's going to happen now that Ringo is more or less in the know. Aniki really saved the day there, in more then one way.
Also, turns out escalator girl didn't die. But
The huge good-bye on the truck was some morbid humor.
Mawaru Penguindrum - 06
Whoa.
That got really tense really fast. I wonder what's going to happen now that Ringo is more or less in the know. Aniki really saved the day there, in more then one way.
I wonder what he's actually doing... It seems he has lots of connections. And the penguin symbols everywhere... The skunk also head one. ...Would it be crazy to assume that it had some relation to the Fate Diary or Penguindrum, considering it was responsible for Ringos food going to waste and pushing her into the lake?
Redhead suddenly conjures some crazy weapen form a pill? with the penguin symbol and erases her memories. If it wasn't already clear that she was the one pushing escalator girl...
Mawaru Penguindrum - 06
Whoa.
First, Redhair strikes again. Shooting those things that can erase memories/alter personalities is quite... brutal. But it seems Aniki catches on pretty quickly, he seems to know ...something. And since it was revealed she also has a penguin, I assume it's only her that can see it, not even the Takakura family, and vice versa. It was probably her penguin that made the trash can fall over.
...I also just realized now that the Takamuras have 3 penguins, because they are 3 persons, everyone has their own 'personal penguin' that follows them around. I feel kind of dumb for only realizing this now.
Second, Ringo. Whoa. Pretty twisted, but it's starting to make sense now. So the 'Fate Diary' was written by her now dead sister. Her parents had a fallout because Ringos birthday is also Momokas deathday, so... Ringo wants to 'become' her sister by making sure everything in the Fate Diary comes true (...and her way of fulfilling things is quite... crazy at times), to somehow fix things.
But then again, both Redhair and Ringo were talking about a Project M (which is apparently written in the diary), and there's also the stuff about escalator girl in there...
Whaaa!

Selfishly, I'll point you directly at Clannad and Clannad After Story, just because it's an amazing experience and from your list, you can appreciate good drama / Romance. Same with Cross Game with is a good sports/drama series.
Barakamon, which is a really good SoL series. D-Frag is a really funny comedy, Eureka 7 has a little bit of everything, Golden Boy(Crunchyroll) is a short ecchi comedy. Little Busters(Crunchyroll) is a good conedy/drama, and if you don't mind sone fanservice and a lot of dialog, some action and some comedy start the *Monogatari series with Bakemonogatari and enjoy the ride.
A few others
all on Crunchyroll)Toradora
Blast of Tempest
Working
Usagi Drop
Kokoro Connect
Yamada-kunand the Seven Witches
ef-A Tale of Memories
Sabagebu!
I don't watch a lot of your action Shounen series, but I'm 50 episodes into Fairy Tail and it has been really good so far.
That should keep you busy for a while, lol.
