The Future Diary - Completed
What a frustrating experience. It's not a bad show, but it definitely had some glaring flaws. I liked the Death Game aspect and that the show had some actual "sliding alliances" unlike something like Fate/Zero. On the other end, it got really repetitive that this was supposed to be a Battle Royale and yet everyone seemed to target the main characters and conveniently they would all take turns trying to take a crack at them. It led to a lack of unpredictability.
The romance...yeah. All I'll say is that I really disliked how the OVA try to tack on a happy ending for the two characters because they didn't deserve it.

Sakura Quest 02
This has been going predictably, not necessarily in a good way but I can't entirely complain because I've fallen for Koharu! It's always charming to see her. It briefly touches on various characters in the village who give us an idea about their personality but there's little beyond the main character who manage to interest me so far.
Still, that isn't to say this episode was bad, its mundane tendencies have more to do with its setting and/or the fact that it's just starting up as opposed, Hanasaku Iroha or Shirobako who have somewhat of an establishment for the work they do.
Now that I think about it, it does remind me of the time my dad's company had a contract with the state's tourism board they took a lot of videos on various tribes in the region and their culture. I had to go through some of them and it was a bit of chore at that time.

It was supposed to be ambiguous in the sub right though Kino's gender right.

Whoa, wha? They never said or implied that! Dammit, how did I miss it if they did, lol.
I think it was supposed to be ambiguous in Japanese it was obvious in english though. It's probably not a big from like the few episodes i watched and what i heard Probably wrong

It was probably intentionally ambiguous in the first few episodes, I don't think it actually becomes explicitly stated until later. Not that it's really that big of a deal regardless.

I don't dislike Allenby but it's clear she's a bit too 'perfect' for Domon. #Team Rain.
The upcoming battles with the Shuffle Alliance should be fun.

Nah Future Diary is a straight up bad show. But in a "this is a decent train-wreck for a group watch kind of show".

Yeah, I'm fine with it, but it actually adds additional context to that moment with the guy from the first episode...
It did it's job for our Let's Watch, lol.
You're in for a good one.
It's probably one of my favourite anime.
Boruto 01
Pretty good start, though a bit of a contrast with Shippuden ending with a wedding and 30 seconds into Boruto Naruto might or might not already be dead lol. Pretty good animation and I hope it'll be more like the Original Naruto series rather then shippuden .

Lodoss might be too old-fashioned and bland to hold up as a medieval fantasy story but it sure had nice-looking elves.

Yuno is the only good thing about Future Diary.
I thought this show was supposed to be about the pink haired girl? You certainly wouldn't get that impression from this OP...
Otherwise, Sayo Yamamoto owns; nu-metal does not...

I almost spittaked at Neo-France's snail garage.
The king of France's reasons for not killing George are...iffy to say the least.

I understand Nina is the new pet, but where is our old ship dammit?
At least we got the goose back.
Persona 5 [END]
Better than anything this season and it has anime cutscenes, so I better be able to vote for it in AOTY.
Anyway, fantastic game. Some very annoying dungeons here and there, though every single of them was interesting. Also, excellent characters, I liked everyone except Morgana and a certain blond gorilla. The story was also really good with several really interesting themes, though the best stuff is on the finale. Without saying too much, the ending gave me some Fate/Zero flashbacks... for several reasons.

George is still a top contender for winning the Gundam Fight. You don't fuck with your chance of ruling the earth sphere for four years.
Visually it's good but I can't stand the music.
Me neither but I figure it'll grow on me.

This is giving me Drakengard 3 vibes, but hornier. The main character is awesome tho just because of how little fucks she gives

On the other hand, I've watched up to ep 17 of the old Berserk, and its been good so far. Griffith's assassination did take me by surprise though, mostly since he was shown as a really keen man who made even humpty dumpty feel insecure, and yet he didn't appear to notice anything was amiss when that suspicious-looking guy showed up with a single cup and made a couple weird faces while handing it over to Griffith.
Akuma lending his help to Guts in order to turn his fight around and complete the takeover of the castle was pretty weird, and obviously points towards some kind of ulterior motive... it's actually pretty nice to be kept in the dark regarding Griffith's necklace, the demon's goals and just what was written in the letter humpty dumpty received, since it leads to a feeling of uneasiness in what would otherwise be the story of Guts and company fighting against impossible odds and coming out on top time after time.
