The second season is the superior one,so i'd advise to continue.

I like Time of Eve quite a bit, but I can't think of any burning need for it to have a direct follow-up. It's complete in itself. I'd rather see Yoshiura continue to explore new projects.

Damn, I need to watch the latest episode of Sakura Quest but I just can't find the time during the week.
As regards to the character-related subplots, the two prior episodes were very interesting and made me want to know more about them. Specially Shiori. See, I find those types of characters very charming and funny: you know, the ones like Kasumi Tendo, easy-going, nice, and with a "silly" positive perspective on things.
But with Shiori, they showed a weakness to being so laxed and passive: the fear to things changing. You don't know if she is happy with how things are, or just comfortable (because changes are scary).
This show became unexpectedly good. Best new series this season, at least for me.

Love Rice Episode 10
That kidnapping, I wanted to see Love Rice Harvest Show
The dish this episode looked good and actually easy to make.
Room mate Episode 9
Good bath scene, the part with opened legs was hot but also odd because the drawings could have been a bit more detailed and better compared to other anime bath scenes.
nice they added a rainbow

Is it weird that I've expected ID-0's identity revelation since episode 2? I thought it was rather cool, and yet, rather obvious, at the same time.
I blame Mega Man Legends 2, really.

Armed Girls Mach ep.10
I greatly prefer the previous lighthearted and fun tone the show had previously with how stupid and endearing it was. This hardcore grimdark edgy $hit is annoying as hell and this new antagonist is your typical OP psycho chick. C'mon, try harder, ya stupid manga series....
That complete lack of definition.
There's hardly any detailed shredded dudes.
It's based on a manga though.

Her body is a "blade" of hardened steel which can defeat all. She has the evil laugh and talks down to everything. She is unbeatable with a demonic laugh..... yeah, some edgy garbage.

The latest Mary and the Witch's Flower trailer looks amazing.

Yeah, that trailer looks amazing. Gives me strong Spirited Away vibes. I hope that the movie ends up having a soul of its own and isn't just a pretty and well produced albeit hollow copy of the Ghibli catalogue.

Sakurada Reset ep.10
Ahhh dammit. It all makes sense now' bravo for pulling it off. The conversations are often cryptic and deep, but then they give you the payoff and do it in great fashion with great visuals, great OST and good story. This show can be to smart for it's own good sometimes and this is proof of it....

I want to inject the Visuals straight into my veins. It looks so gorgeous
I'll give it a watch after finishing Shirobako. I sometimes see Anohana and NagiAsu mentioned together so I was just wondering if it's because they have similar tones, but the synopsis for Anohana sounds like it's got a challenging/depressing tone to it. Which is fine, just gotta be prepared! I had to put Your Lie in April on pause halfway through
since I accidentally spoiled the final outcome
the death already happened in the past so it's about the aftermath?
And the final scene in A Lull in the Sea
I know what you mean, Miuna's even done mouth to mouth on Hikari haha. I loved that Hikari was an unreliable narrator at the beginning, the whole show seemed to be about misunderstandings due to presumptions/witheld information and his final words address that.
Yep. That's the best thing about these journey type shows. What matters is in the moment and not the destination. There's always something cool and beautiful every episode.

Saekano S2 ep,9
They are both artistically beautiful shows with high production value. A Lull in the Sea excels for having a much more involved story and character development, plus it has amazing music and ambiance along with it.
Anohana is much more straight forward in it's message (don't let episode 1 fool you) and its execution doesn't hold back any punches in how it's pulled off. Both are brilliant in their own ways and can have strong emotional reactions on how things go.
Actually, one of the most powerful scenes in A Lull didn't not include the main pair at all. The below scene, was touching and emotional through the character development to that point and was simply beautiful.
Umm, can I have my Saekano back now please? This is such a $hitty follow-up to last weeks episode. It would have been fine through half of it, but why did deeper into that part of things. Tone was all over the place and just felt like a crappy follow-up to the emotional roller-coaster which happened last week.

I have seen Arriety and liked it well enough, but the only outstanding part to me was the soundtrack.

I loved this show. Ending was so well done!
Have you seen Anohana or Clannad as of yet?
Show is just so good. :,)

I forgot to ask, but I know you mentioned you watched some of Clannad, but did you ever watch Clannad After Story?

You should watch When Marnie Was There.
Hiroshi Ikehata is a pretty good director himself, so there's no reason to be concerned at this juncture.
I don't think we really know who is working on this film or who is employed at Studio Ponoc aside from Yonebayashi and Nishimura, but it's probably safe to assume most of them are people the two brought with them when they left Ghibli.
I haven't seen Clannad actually, I think you're remembering another poster. But I've seen it mentioned multiple times, and I'll be sure to get around to it next time I'm in the mood to buy some Blu-Rays. Agreed on that scene from NagiAsu too.
Kaname was portrayed initially like he was cool, nonchalant and composed and initially I thought he and Tsumugu were at the same level in some ways; but after the time skip it became clear how Kaname really was and it was painful to see how childlike he was when juxtaposed with the grown Tsumugu. The timeskip allowed the right people to be with the right people, haha
If anyone knows of a better look than this one at promotional images/flyers for Mamoru Hosoda's MIRAI, from those that were distributed to potential licensee companies at Cannes 2017, please do tell!
Of the inner circle of veterans at Studio Ghibli that were in-house staff from the animation department, at least 8 joined at the time of this interview (plus any possible assistance from key people that already left or pals who were habitual freelancers).

Good deal, definitely give Clannad a Watch and stick with it through After Story. It's an amazing experience through the end.

I like how unapologetically Araki retcons Abdul's death and uses it as an excuse to drag Polnareff through the mud for no good reason. What a joker.

That's why Takahashi-sensei is the best character of the year so far
It's a shame we never did get that sensei x sensei ship.
Those two would be perfect together, but yeah, sensei is ripped..

Ghosts are the softest. For further details please watch Tasogare Otome×Amnesia.

It's hilarious how they foreshadow this reveal. Little by little things start coming into place that he's strong as fuck.

It's kind of funny how much shading there is to highlight his ripped muscles, but when it gets to his neck and face it's absolutely flat except for his chin.
As for Owararagi, I'll say that (spoilers, obviously)
he does get better, but is no longer a vampire AFAIK, so I guess that means no more godlike abs for his harem.
