I would enjoy seeing Tonnura-san getting an anime too. Just look at that cat.If you are good he may let you pet him.
I started reading Tonnura-san last year. My brain melted. And I liked it.

a goddamn spear that just happens to double as an umbrella certainly helps the process along.

GlassLip Episode 2
More entertaining than episode one, but it feels as if the ability feels tacked on to the concept not really adding anything. The anime could focus on other characters as well, my favorite was really up to his own in his room for many scenes while the megane one seemed to have little to nothing important to contribute to the anime. I also dont feel as if they did anything to make us care for everyone stick together or even honouring the no dating rule.

Persona 4 Golden 1
The swag king has returned and taken back his rightful place on the throne.
Why was I not made aware that Marie was voiced by Kana?
She sounds perfect for the role and I'm already really enjoying Marie's tsundere act.
Not sure about my stance over how hard they seem to be shipping the two together just yet. Still more of a Yukiko/Rise fan myself, but I'll see how this plays out.

Seriously, like, I fall in love every time Marie does her rapidfire halfhearted insult schtick, all because of that heavenly voice. It was definitely not so endearing playing the English dub.
Terrifying.
Whisper of the Heart is one of my all-time favourite feel-good films, though it's not because of the romance.
CDT now? Come on America, stop having so many silly timezones. It's dumb dumb.

Terror in Resonance -1
Anime is saved...?
I have problems with the show, but it's head and shoulders above everything else this season, So I will let it slide. Really all just nitpicking anyways.

Persona 4:The Golden
Narukami begins his New Game +. I don't think anybody can debate that when Izanagi drops a fucking Maziodyne combo'd into a Megidolaonn in his first fight.
But anyway, animation is better, and the focus seems heavily on stuff specifically from Golden. At least, the episode preview makes it seem like next episode is taking place months of play time after the first, so I'm guessing this is also meant to serve more as an adaptation of mostly just Golden stuff. Anything else go back to The Animation.
Which I'm okay with. I mean, The Animation had all kinds of problems, but I, for one, accept Chie's twin sister as canon.

Majin Bone 15
I guess Luke isn't good enough to get his own power up without it being tied to a Majin unlike Shugo, pains of not being the main character

Glasslip episode 2
Another good episode. First episode was all about establishing tone, second is about characters.
Following PA Works' most notable shows, they've cornered the market on "nostalgia/high school life + supernatural" for a while now, and this look like another one of those. That said, there's more eccentricity and quirkiness to the presentation to this show than something like Nagiasu. It's a bit weird, but it also shakes things up a bit for PA Works.
Locodol episode 2
More good local idol goodness, shedding some light onto how Japanese variety show programs operate, and some of the conditions and thought processes that go into that kind of work. Plus some good character moments too; they're both really charming protagonists.
Persona 4 Golden episode 1
Really pleased that they went with max stats NG+ "swag Yuu" for this time around, keeps things a little fresh. They also play around with the chronology more and play fast and loose with the order of events, as well as expediting. I feel like this is going to be more of a "Greatest Hits" sort of adaptation, where it's more for the fans than people coming in as first-time watchers.

Is it just me or does it feel like Argevollen's OP isn't finished? I mean half of it is just random shots of random mechs in a white space awkwardly moving
Maybe some clichee that first world foreigners (with the blonde hair in contrast to how anime tends to portrait black people) are rich?

You are right, the whole class was in the building, it was a school trip.
Though personally I wouldn't commit a terrorist attack when there is a record that morning a class was visiting, a class where I'm in.
But of course, I also wouldn't post a youtube video that gives away my genre, stature, complexity and voice (never mind the possible digital trail), so whatever

Only if Jouji Nakata voices Tonnura-sama will an anime feel really complete.
I was not so much querying their richness but rather their liliness.

Blue Spring Ride 1
Getting some strong Say "I Love You" vibes from this show. Except this show has some pretty decent comedy to it. Some of it falls flat on its face and other bits are really funny. I think this may be my Engaged to the Unidentified of the season. We will see. Definitely a better first episode than most this season.

Argevollen Episode 2
That was pretty good for one to follow the typical main character needs to learn how to use the mecha type episode. The enemy pursuing them aspect and tight quarters with the action just gave a good feeling. Probably the anime is best during its action moments, so hopefully they focus more on that and less on the others. Also want an Argevollen too.

I don't think that's unbelievable at all. We have real-life examples of such a thing with the Boston Marathon bombers.
Huh, I meant that they're maybe blonde as symbol of western heritage and with that riches.

I don't view it as unbelievable I view it as ridiculous in this as much as it is in real life as well.
Gundam Build Fighters 09-12
I really liked episode 9. China and Caroline's fight was different from everything else, in a good way. A cute knight and a chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff, and the way it inspired Sei tied into the main storyline nicely. Plus, Chiwa Saito is amazing in nearly anything she does.
The two-part battle royale against the giant Zaku was pretty neat. The world tournament is, once again, a super common arc, but it's as much what's going on behind the scenes that makes it feel interesting as it the matches themselves. I'm glad that they didn't drag out the "Kawaguchi" thing at all - Sei and Reiji immediately knew it was him, and he confirmed it just as quickly. China/Sei and Aila/Reiji look to be the main shipping pairings the show's trying to build up here.
Even with my limited knowledge of Gundam, this is still pretty appealing. The lighthearted tone is something that I know exists in very few other Gundams, but it's exactly what drew me to this one. Glad to see Kirara sticking around, too. Hoping for more Caro in the future, as well as some of the more unorthodox fights I've heard about from the (Japanese) blogs.

Black Butler - Book of Circus 01
I was strangely delightful to see
I was strangely delightful to see
Sebastian just straightup murdering these mooks while preparing the dinner at the same time, a glorious scene. I am so looking forward for the end of this arc, even if my heart hurts a bit just thinking at it.
Blind? Yuri? Tenderness? I don't understand D:
Just need this and Invaders and my Fridays will be set. (The odds of them picking up PriPara are looking increasingly unlikely.)
But I'm still waiting on Jinsei/Himegoto/Rurumo from them. And hoping for Blade Dance.
But at this point, most of what I'm watching is confirmed.

Argevollen 2
This isn't a super original mech anime, but it at least is doing the basics well enough so far to keep me interested. There are enough pieces here that are either good enough or potentially interesting to make me want more. Don't really see the harem comments for our main character, none of the girls have really shown any kind of attention towards him outside of what you'd normally expect in a military operation when a rookie somehow ends up with a great power only he can control.

Now I understand why this show was so hyped. I really think Nine has a weirdly drawn smile, but eh. Other than that

I wasn't expecting the whole terrorism thing. So is this going to be a cat-and-mouse thing where they post their plot on Youtube (which was pretty funny to be honest) and the cops have to attempt to stop them before it's too late? I guess I can go for a thriller right about now.
Fine, I'll stop beating around the bush. Why are blonde rich girls in anime so often portrayed/teased as lesbians?
yuri means lily
I'm not sure why, but I know that in cases like Riddle or Haganai Next, the first two episodes were put up at a later date and a regular schedule was established afterward. Maybe it's because they announced it the same day it was supposed to go up?
