I could have started watching more of this season's anime. Instead my wife and I ended up watching the first season of Konosuba with a bunch of our friends, since they had been bugging me to watch it for a while. It actually was pretty funny, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought.

Ive seen original Naruto all the way through more than 8 times, its so good, definitely cehck it out.
Ishida's childhood friend lost so much weight he disappeared in Koe no Katachi.
it's a better show than you would expect.
I have only seen the first half though as that was all that was dubbed and it wasn't good enough to motivate me to continue to watch in japanese.
Is the manga that bad or something?
I'd recommend Re:Creators - since it's an anime original, there are no manga spoilers involved, so people are still trying to figure out how the plot may play out - and since it just reached its 11th episode out of 22, you enjoy the progression so far without the annoyance of weekly waits, and figure out if it's something you'd enjoy theme and tone-wise.
Maybe it's not the best example ever, but Tamako from Silver Spoon was an interesting case - she's visibly on the heavy side of things, but her colleagues acknowledge that that doesn't detract from how pretty she is (if anything, her sense of pragmatism might be the most unappealing thing about her, not her looks, since it ever makes her parents uneasy) - there's even an instance or two when she loses weight for reasons I don't recall, and decides to go back to her usual measures since she dislikes how somehow maintaining a thin build messes with her skin.

Why do you say that? you think it's forced?
I binge-watched this show for the past 3 days and I must say I love how this finale is shapping up. I can't wait till next monday to see how i'll end. Is this show going to have 26 episodes total?
It's been sub-KLK for a long time now. Outside of that twist, I've been horribly bored with this series.
May check out the game though.

From currently airing shows I would suggest Eccentric Family, ID-0, Tiger Mask W, and Tsuki ga Kirei. For next season you might be interested in Mahoujin Guru Guru, The Reflection, Shoukoku no Altair, and Welcome to the Ballroom. These should all meet your criteria.

Shokugeki no Soma Episode 10: Actually weird how the drama can actually be taken seriously when the character who serves as the POV (Megumi in this case) doesn't have hilariously OP hax skills. Like, Soma isn't a bad protagonist, but he straddles that Kirito/Onii-sama line of undermining the stakes set against him.
Should've been watching Tiger Mask W with the cool kids instead.

Heh, Little Witch Academia continues to be lame?
I guess my general rule about witches continues to be true.
Let's carve another notch into the "Hellwarden was Right" board.

Most Light Novel Adaptations are pretty much just glorified commercials to get people to read the Light Novels, so even if it gets another season I can't imagine it'll have that much forward progression.
I want to say that's the real reason there's never been a third Season of SAO. Light Novels went into this long ass arc that is still ongoing after Gun Gail Online so that doesn't exactly lend itself well to an Anime Adaptation.

Yes, yes it was. It sorta feels like the manga's target audience are those who would join a MAGA/red pill people...That is really the best way I can describe everything horribly wrong with it for the 10 or so chapters I could stomach before anger took over me. It uses so many eechi and romance cliche's I've read before, but just something about it pushed me over the top to cause me to boil over in rage. Once again: Fuck this manga, fuck this anime.
A romcom anime based on a manga. Or at least the manga is what I'm reading, that in turn might be based on a novel series.

Natsume Roku 11 (End)
That's unfair dropping such a major thing on the last episode. Guess I'll just wait and hope for the next season then.

Spice & Wolf - Completed: I've been slowly watching this over the course of the past week. I thought the first season was fairly cute. I really like the pairing of Lawrence and Holo and they bounce off of one another really well. Second season was a drag though. I found the insert of "strife" in their budding relationship to drag the show down, the second arc in particular. The economics lesson was pretty interesting as well.

Hanasaku Iroha: Home Sweet Home
A solid 1-hour film version of the series, touching in on all its main characters and revisiting its themes in a compressed yet largely successful fashion. It's not particularly ambitious, but it also nearly eliminates the rougher portions of the TV series in favor of its strengths. Having read the synopsis of Mari Okada's autobiography, which goes into her own family struggles growing up, I can see a new personal dimension in the mother/daughter conflicts featured in her script here. I hope to be able to read that one day, since for as much as people like to slog on her melodramatic writing, she sounds like a fascinating person.
Hanasaku Iroha is still the best thing Masahiro Ando's directed since Sword of the Stranger, huh? While he doesn't get to show off the action storyboarding skills he's most known for, that he has shown off since in, say, Zetsuen no Tempest or his episodes in Zvezda, he still brings a strong eye to the character framing in this film. The smooth editing used to draw connections between characters across time and space is particularly noteworthy, such as the ending scene when shots of Satsuki running at different times in her life are spliced together with Ohana running, the daughter following in her mother's footsteps of pushing forward onto her own life path.
On another note, Chiaki Omigawa's voice acting here is unusually nuanced for her. It's too bad her capabilities as an actress were never able to fully flourish.

Watched the latest episodes of Eromanga-sensei and Alice & Zoroku today, and I've got to say it paid off to watch them in that order in order to clean my palate.
One of my main gripes with Eromanga is that the whole set-up would've worked a lot better had Sagiri and the MC not been siblings-in-law, since the whole set-up is that they both liked each other long before their parents married each other, and even after that they barely interacted with each other anyway, so them being brother and sister looks like some kind of tacked-on setting just to make the whole thing have incestuous undertones without being legally wrong.
... And that's on top of the show having Sagiri want to look at her brother's friends' panties, that other girl saying ochinchin every other line as soon as the MC meets her, Elf walking around her mansion naked, and Muramasa being teased over going comando under her kimono. And they're all underage girls, mind you.
TL;DR: This anime is trash, and so am I for having watched it.
At least Alice & Zoroku more than made up for that, since this whole arc made a lot more sense for Sana and her growth as a person, even if we end up being treated to some action scenes in the very last episode.
Man, I even lost count of the number of times they said "virgin" in that PV. Seriously, what the heck...
It looks like yet another generic ecchi high-school harem show, so I won't even entertain the thought of watching it.

I know I have little to no credibility when posting about the latest Eromanga-sensei episode in the same message, but I really won't be watching this show. Seriously.
All is right in the world now.

See Megumin is amazing because she is the best and also she is in this picture which is also a thumbs up which means I enjoyed it.

I love Super Gals! It's been quite some time since I watched it (it's like early 00's if I remember correctly), but it still sticks with me. It's a funny slice of life before that genre got super popular. The characters all have fleshed out personalities and work well together. Plus it's sort of like a look at Japanese teen culture in the early 00's. Part of this might be nostalgia, but it's a pretty memorable and definitely worth a watch.

Reading the article, I actually find it funny they got more of Sentai Filmwork's catalog than Amazon Strike.
Too bad that service is browser only. A deal breaker that. Good to see more competition for CR though, and really happy to see legal streams of some OVAs like the final episodes of Kokora Connect.
