We'll see if Space Dandy keeps up the quality for the other episodes. But it's been non stop great episodes with the groundhog day, qt focused one, and this one. Not to mention some solid episodes in the second half. There should officially be more good than bad if this keeps up.

Despised the anime original "love triangle". Blegh. But otherwise I did enjoy the VC anime.
I couldn't get over how much they butchered both Alicia and Welkin to get past the first two eps.
Interesting. I never played the game, so I speak as someone who just watched the anime. What did they left out about the two?
I do too till I played the game. The game is so so so much better. No stupid love triangle for one.
Well, I will hopefully see when PS NOW hits PS Vita.

Encouragement of Climb Second Season 01

I have more appreciation for this series now. During my vacation, I went to Chimney Rock, and while that's as much a tourist attraction as it is a mountain, what Aoi and Hinata are doing is now pretty recently in my memory. I don't think I've ever seen a short series go to full length, except for maybe Nyarko starting off with its shorts. Love the march-style OP, and Yui Ogura's ED is cute. The show remains equal parts educational and cute. I'm ready to climb every mountain, ford every stream and be taken by the adorablity and the scenery.

Sengoku Basara Judge End - 1

Awful OP aside, this was AMAZING. The fight between Date+Koujiroo and Ishida, was great. And looking at screens I thought the character designs would bother me, but in motion everything was great.

Spice and Wolf + Spice and Wolf II

This was actually pretty great. Even tough I know jackshit about market and stuff (and boy, I was lost with some of the stuff the talked about), it managed to grab me. Mainly because of the characters, which are all pretty interesting and Horo specially. She is the cutest thing ever, and I loved her schemes and the conversations she had with Lawrence. I confess I have no idea what the conclusion in II was but oh well, the journey has been great enough , so I don't care as much. (But I wouldn't mind someone explaining it to me >.>).
Anyway,
O seven apples on a witches tree, with seven seeds to plant inside of me.
In spring time I grew a magic song, and skipping along, oh I sang the song to everyone.
I looked at the world trough apple eyes, and cut myself a slice of sunshine pie.
Until time would teach me, to say hello and wave goodbye.
A thousand sugar stars. (A thousand sugar stars) Oh put them in a jar.
And whistle around the world. And whistle around the world.
I'm a little wolf inside a girl, you say, off I'll go from June to May,
Oh whistle around the world. And whistle around the world.
Yeah whistle around the world. And whistle around the world.

Oh man that brings me back. I'll be looping that song all day now.
 
Tokyo Ghoul ep 2

What the hell happen to this episode?! There's no tension or atmosphere,feels too lifeless,animation production went to shit. And that inverted colours during the goring is terrible.

Did the last part of the episode just went Bleach's Shinigami cup golden?! PIERRRRRRROTTTT!!!!

What a total opposite from the first episode. Only thing good is the OP.


BWAHAHAHAHAAHA

Space Dandy S1 saved winter/anime and s2 is off to an even better start

Thank you CureVylash and BGBW, this is very useful!
They made Welkin into a really dense, oblivious guy and Alicia into a generic tsundere.
Wow, that's not how they're supposed to be. This is indeed quite intriguing.

Thank You I forgot that today is Persona 4: The Golden Animation's debut :) Thanks for the list and the reminder!
 
Tokyo Ghoul 02

Still better than average visuals, but behind ep1 in that regard. It's the typical more budget than usual for the first episodes, I suppose around episode 4 it will be just your normal weekly anime and won't be a strong point any more.

Though the heavy censoring (black screen!, inverted colors scene lol!) messed it up in this episode.

So this is predictable.
We predicted him clutching hard on the notion of still being a human and negating everything, it happened. We predicted being emo because he isn't nor human nor ghoul,and it won't fit well anywhere it happened (and still will happen in the following eps, I imagine). In the middle of the episode I predicted him not eating putting in danger his close friend by making the crazed hunger worse, it happened. I predicted receiving a powerup or activating his abilities to save his friend, hey, guess what!
Add to that the bad guy being unredeemable one-dimensional bad, and the crazy looking guy at the end doesn't look much better, and the little hope the first episode gave is starting to evaporate.

I liked the opening, and the illustrating used in the ED are nice. At least something positive?

edit: of I forgot, the post ED scene played for laughs was tone-jarring.

This anime is a pretty good so far. I hope the quality doesn't start to dip.

It's kinda funny how a few of the characters seem to dislike "David" for no reason.

Akame ga Kill 1

Wow! This is starting off as one of the best anime I've watched in a very long time. I can't wait for the next anime.

Mahouka

I have no willpower and I ended up Googling light novel spoilers. I'm ashamed.

Guys, I need help remembering an anime. It's about a group of girls that wants to become an idol group, and they find a rock at a shrine which grants wishes. Can't remember the title.

I find quite funny that every time I'm watching the latest Happiness Charge episode I can't help but feel a hole that Inazuma Eleven GO onwards made, the characters never clicked on me and the new powers were just stupid (I know they are added because of the game) but it was like "Hey dude, do you have this new power? no, well gtfo."

Is Saint Seiya Omega worth watching? or are there any other recent anime with over the top screaming powers I should be watching?

Digimon Adventure: 02 (Not to be confused with Digimon Adventure 02)

So this episode establishes that the Digimon have several stages that they can evolve to, although they cannot stay in them indefinitely, at least right now.
Have you seen Digimon Adventure Movie yet? If not drop everything and go watch it. It's a prequel to what happens in Digimon Adventure (TV Show.)

It's also directed by Hosoda Mamoru (Summer Wars, Wolf Children)

fyi OP is missing Yama no Susume/Encouragement of Climb on CR Thursdays 10:00am PDT
The announcement on their website said it's not a Thursday show. It airs on its assigned date of Wednesday, the first episode only came out on Thursday because of licensing somethingorothers. Lots of shows have been having that this season.

Well, there we go. I thought the first ep ended on a note where it could become interesting. Unless impressions make a 180, I ain't comin back!
 
Zankyou no Terror - 01

I'm interested for now but it's really all going to hinge on whether or not the main characters' cause/motivation is actually commensurate to the ridiculous shit they're doing.

Yep, i'm going to go ahead and drop this as well. Pretty disappointing as i was actually pretty hyped for it before the season started.

Funi's run of the second Puchimas season finally finished. All those double days slowly put the official simulcast further and further behind, so I never finished until now. That was a highly enjoyable season, with everybody getting their chance to shine. The stories weren't quite as interconnected as the first season, but all the experimentations, birthday celebrations and P moments were great. It feels like it could go on forever.
 
Glasslip 02

So was I, but I completely misunderstood what kind of anime it was going to be. I was expecting Tamayura with an actual mixed gender cast and having to do with glass making instead of photography.
 
Zankyou no Terror 01

Pretty good OP.
Good ED too.
Great OST so far.

Interesting first episode. Has a lot of potential, just hope it isn't squandered.
Is this 1 or 2 cour?

Future Diary 26


Happy end ;P

Well, it's a pretty weird mix of just about everything. Horror, romance, drama, comedy, action and sci-fi. It just throws everything at you and... I actually enjoyed all parts of it. It was constantly entertaining and never dull. OP1 is great and some of the other music is good too.

I'll actually give it 4.5/5 Murmur phone straps:

Does the OVA continue from the end or is it a separate thing? And I see there's a live action TV show on Hulu too... Anybody seen that?
