There were some dull parts then parts that got a good chuckle out of me. I really like the VA of Chiyo. Those yay yay were really great. Quite enjoyable show will continue watching.

OVAs later this year and a new TV series still being worked on that nobody knows much about.
Try out Barakamon, it's got a similar rural setting and is also great.

Huh, this turned out to be a much more self-aware and entertaining version of the utterly woeful C3-bu than the the first few minutes lead on. The action scenes are much better and the rather trivial nature of the show kinda reminds me of a more restrained version of Teekyuu without the coke lines everywhere.
The surprise of the season so far.

Yeah. I didn't expect to like it at all, as I didn't C3. It would be in my top 3 of #1s so far.
Watch all of it!
Because Men can't write Shoujo?
There was an amazing nonon cosplay at AX, did you happen to see it?
No. I think because he's a guy who spends a lot of time thinking about romance and being in young girls heads (even dispensing romantic advice to girls) and yet is still a oblivious blockhead.
Sent you a PM instead.

Anyone want to bring me up to speed on the last 30 pages? Anything important that I missed? Any Clannad or Key/KyoAni impressions that I need to respond to?
Sorry I haven't been around lately. Been quite the busy body.

I didn't notice this first time round.
I see the UK is still fine… wait what did they do to my beloved Sweden!
No! this is terrible. Dropped.
I was correct about everything and everyone else was wrong. So business as usual.
Very nice pickups.

I expected a better opening episode. I don't know why but I did. I guess setting up a reason why Kirito must go save the virtual world again but this episode was slow. Maybe it will pick up in the next episode. So far most first episodes of this season are really underwhelming.

Get started on Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun if you haven't.

All my Clannad impressions are at the end of the last thread. Felt like Episode 9 was a good place to stop until you had time to catch up.

This is my first time hearing about this show. What is it about?
Oh snap. Maybe "teh future". Or an animation oversight. Yeah I'll go with the second one.

In the dark depraved post war Japan, young boys must endure the depression, try to live with loved ones who suffer post traumatic stress disorder and remain strong as they lose their family in the nuclear blasts. There are so many emotionally charged scenes in this anime from vile hatred to inspiring redemption.
So far we've had the backstory of three characters explained, one for each episode. Each describes some consequence the character has to live with following the end of the second world war. So far each story has been great. Even the character first introduced as despicable, whose goal was to get everyone to hate him has found his redemption in such a short amount of time.
The episodes I have seen so far have all been about character building. I have to wonder what the main plot will be once we get through all of the characters' back stories.

Hey! Thanks! That was very considerate. I saw the impressions of episode 8 and 9. 9 was a good place to stop because it is an end of an arc in the show. I wonder how you will react to certain events over the course of this first season.
Oh well. Just glad you were digging it so far. What other shows have you been watching and enjoying.
That's like my second favorite scene in the show. My favorite of course is when face meets tree.

I have been meaning to ask this but how do people feel on here about Witchblade? Yay or Nay?

So many great references and gags. So great. SO GOOOOD.

Mushi-shi Zoku Shou 10 HALF-TIME
Ginko, It's been good having you back. This new season has been tone-perfect, episode in and episode out, and has matched up so well with the old material. It's like Mushi-shi wasn't even gone. Such a calm, gentle series. Part and parcel with nature itself. Slow paced, but so gorgeous. I'll definitely be getting the BD/DVD for the extra two first season episodes and the dub, provided it comes back too. Need my Wilingham Ginko fix!
Oh and the soundtrack was still as stellar as ever. Has there ever been a Mushi-shi OST? As also a fan of ambient music, I NEED IT.
See you in the Fall, Ginko!
Captain Earth 12
Yeah this pretty fun! Way to turn it around Bones. It looks decent and it's all the check boxes for me: Blossoming romances? Check! Cool action sequences? Check! A wealth of interesting characters? Check!
FUCK THE RULES, TEPPEI

Anime is truly saved. We're not worthy, but we're saved.
I've started watching Ranma 1/2, enjoying it so far. And, um, checking out a few new shows from this season. Not a whole lot, really, so I'll likely blaze through Clannad now that you're back.
They quietly became my favorite non-Shaft studio (Shaft is uh... "special")
I don't quite know how that happened so suddenly. Seems like Love Lab was the tipping point.
I watched some episode 1s this weekend. Glasslip was a bit weird, not sure where they're going with that one but I'll watch another ep to see what direction it's heading. Rail Wars was fun but not what I expected (I thought it was going to turn out to be one of those alternate history things where train companies were fighting each other, like Library Wars or something). Argevollen seems to be this season's generic teenage-boy-gets-into-a-robot-and-turns-out-to-be-really-good-at-piloting-it thing, but so far it's fairly inoffensive so I'll probably watch more as I am a sucker for mecha. SAO II... well, as someone has already said, it's a shame this episode didn't get into the actual action but I guess they have to set up a reason for Kirito to go in. And of course Space Dandy S2 is as wacky or possibly even wackier than ever. I liked the genderbent Dandy :3
EDIT: forgot about Aldnoah Zero. Earth colonises Mars, there's a war, there's a cease-fire, then oh look somebody wants the war to start back up again. Also there's a promise of giant robots but we only get a brief glimpse of those during the first episode.

After much hibernation, I think I'm ready to get back into anime. Which means I'll be posting in here again. Seeing duckroll crack down on some of the shit in the last thread has made me more interested in returning. I haven't changed too much since my previous departure from this community, but I'll leave again if I find myself becoming a total asshole again. Still, expect plenty of pessimism. negativity, and misanthropy.With the exception of a certain character, I do feel bad about those I wronged here in the past. I don't want to make unnecessary drama, but I thought it would be bad for me to pop back in here without acknowledging the past.
What was the last season you watched? The good stuff this year has been Ping Pong, Mushishi S2, and the ongoing Hunter x Hunter.

Sounds good. Take whatever pace you need. There are some gags coming up that some don't like. As long as you don't take them too seriously and take them for what they are (a joke) then you should be fine. But you liked Fuko's starfish daydreams so I think you'll be fine. ;P
