I believe it's supposed to be a Dark Souls-esq fog wall.
The show is actually a very smart and sincere representation of idol groups. I'm very anti-idol as well but the show really impressed me as it got going. It still remains very slow but I think the pace suits the kind of slice of life tone it's going for, it feels very mellow. I would say give it until the Tomii episode, I think that was 3 or 4. They start exploring the past members and it's really interesting.
Well yeah, that's what the previous series was for

Tokyo Ghoul Episode 7
Good episode, it was enjoyable. Poor Hinami's mom welp. Anyways that fight between Mado and Touka was great. With Mado being a dick, screw that bastard. The mask that Kaneki wore looks fuckin legit being animated. The new visuals for the ending look so beautiful. Can't wait for the fight between the Doves.
Man I can't wait till Funimation releases the uncensored BD. I'm gonna end up buying it. I also hope that one day someone brings a physical release of the manga in English.

The moenuke factor is not to be taken lightly.
Years of cuteness tolerance and special techniques are required.
Is that a quality boxing anime, on the level of Ippo?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes 48
Now that was a tense ass battle. Kami-Sama came and saved the day at the tail end of the fight.
I must get stronger then!

Don't worry about these new feelings that you're feeling, just give in to the moment.
Goldfish Warning! ( Kingyo Chuiho!)
Episode 2
This episodes first part seems to set up a theme that will be carried over for either the rest of the series or certainly the next while anyway. Chitose's family's attorney is now working for Yurika, Chitose's rival, from Tokai no Gakuen.
He further gets the help of one of the school's students to help him carry out a spy mission on Chitose's school. Even though they're set up as sort of antagonists or rival's, they're not really threatening and just add to the whacky hijinks. Kind of like a Team Rocket sort of thing.
While on the one hand the shows sort of jokes and such feel like that from a different age that aren't repeated in some ways, in others in reminds me of current slice of life type shows. That or "cute girls doing cute things" but it's a co-ed cast where silly fun things happen throughout the episode.
In the second part of the episode it seems like a certain spy is back and may have fishnapped the goldfish, Gyopi. Chitose telling Wakopi has he's suuuuuuuuuuuper important was pretty funny. The end result might be something you're not expecting as well.
Another fun episode. Tons of reaction faces again but to prevent spamming them I'll just post this one.

A look at Tokai no Gakuen. The school for rich kids.

"We're now bunnies okay?"
"Doesn't this make us stand out?"
"By making ourselves stand out so much, no one will suspect we're spies."
Flawless logic,haha.

Oh ho ho ho! Yurika's silly ojou-sama laugh.
Barakamon and Nozaki-kun are the best shows this season.
Nothing quite like it though Nozaki kun is quite funny.

Yeah, it was at its best in the common route when it was a collection of comedy scenes. The serious moments were rarely executed well, were poorly paced, and the work as a whole lacked cohesion. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not when it comes to the adaptation, hopefully they'll at least nail the humor.

RWBY 4
I definitely like that each episode is longer now instead of having a bunch that were 4-7 minutes like in the first season. The pacing is better because of it imo. I was wondering where Junior went from the Yellow trailer and they addressed that here as well as that white mask that Adam wore as a representation of the new direction the White Fang went in.
The highlight of course is the battle scene in the latter half. Most interesting part here was the use of team maneuvers that Ruby called out. I guess that's to show how their teamwork has grown since the last season. Next episode should be entertaining as well since Monty said in an Afterbuzz segment that there's some crazy stuff that will happen in 5. So far so good.
EDIT: That Neo girl with the mismatched hair/eyes looks a little weird though.

How long is the author of Tokyo Ghoul planning to run the manga?

ANNCast interviewed the ADR director of the DIC dub of Sailor Moon on this week's podcast. Perfect time for the guy to cash in on the SM relaunch, since he apparently has a SM book out as well.

Brighter than the Dawning Blue - 2
Yeah, I'm kind of liking this.
Aside from the running gags that I'm sure are going to grow old quickly, this isn't so bad. Characters are nice, atmosphere is nice, and nothing's over-the-top. It's just nice.

Well it won't end anytime soon that's for sure considering it's popular, selling above 350 K per Vol on average. But if you want a better answer try asking in the Manga thread.

Aria: The Animation
Episode 1
While this show originally aired in 2005, it's another with Junichi Sato as the head director. This first episode certainly had a slow relaxing atmosphere to it. I was thinking you could almost make a remark that the general flow of the episode was comparable to that of a gondola,haha. It certainly reminded me of Yokohama Shopping Journal. That could have also been in part to Choro Club having a hand in the music again. It looks like these are the only two anime that they worked with however.
Yokohama Shopping had more of a show don't tell presentation to it but I like how the world was also introduced here. Undine may be more of a general term but it will probably always make me think of Secret of Mana or more recently now Seiken Densetsu 3,haha. The name "ManHome" for Earth just sounds kind of funny to me. Aria is also some kind of space dog or something,haha. Apparently he/she is voiced by Chinami Nishimura who did the voice for Reika/Cure Beauty! Crazy.
Chiwa Saito is in this too. I like her "Embarrassing comments aren't allowed!" thing,haha. I really like Sayaka Ohara, so having her voice Alicia is nice. Even her first words are "ara ara",haha. She's so good that when a ship buffets the waves it's like the water is still glass. Akari and her "I accidentally learned to row by going backwards". How does that even happen? Haha.
Anyway, relaxing enough start and I'd like to continue.
-Alicia's "Ara Ara" counter for this episode: 5 (Thus 10 individual "ara"'s)

Ara ara! This show really is about gondola companies and rides on Mars.

I love to hate this manga so much and I will treat the anime the same.
EDIT: I also could use more Levi in my life anyway.
yeah I am always sad that I can't own full moon on DVD beyond the first few episodes... it has zero chance of being rescued as well :/
I am still hoping that bakuman gets saved someday.
and fine... I can give love lab a try not sure when but sometime.
protip: the only thing wrong with funi's streams is that the filthy pirates aren't properly taging it as a full-range colour encode

Because it gets into lots of MMO nitty gritty rather than being a adventure story with a MMO coat of paint.
Your counter probably won't make it past the next episode.

Well, time to catch up on Vivid I guess. I wasn't finding it that interesting but maybe I'll see it differently.
