To the arc covered this season lol. There's a clear point where it'll stop.
The manga is still going, and i'll bet my lunch money on a TLR Darkness season 3 when there's enough content to make it.
I mean, I disagree about the bolded too but to focus on that comic tone, it's not like Z was devoid of that. There was still lots of that to be found sprinkled throughout and I'd argue that Buu saga was more goofy than large parts of DB. The piccolo arc in particular.
Clearly, you need to watch OVA's and second season.
Shin Mazinger Z 04-05
I think I finally got accustomed to the general campiness of the narrative and the art style. For a story that is pretty much one non-stop fight since episode 1, it manages to stay surprisingly captivating so far. Though I wish some of the dialogue explaining various attacks and stuff wasn't so long winded. Will probably stick with it till the end. Especially since it now seems like episode 1, probably wasn't set at the very end of the story and the current events will soon catch up to that.
-The enthusiastic narrator cracks me up.
-I'm salty that Daimos didn't get a similar treatment. I would worship more "Kazuyaaaaaa with this level of execution and episodic fat trimmed down. I'd be able to finally, after 20 years, finish that show.
Chaos Dragon 2
Thanks to anime magic, Kai magically knows that Ibuki
If that wasn't enough, there's the thing about the mixed research group which makes no sense because why would such a thing between the 3 countries exist. So this keeps being bad.
Shimoneta 1-2
Premise is silly, execution is silly and I had fun watching it, so I'll keep following. Also I love that girl's laugh.

killed the girl yet doesn't know he was forced and how much he struggled to stop his hand and that the girl was fine with giving her life.

just gonna echo the general sentiment that she owns.
makes me wish I worked in Elementary schools. JHS kids have just discovered cynicism but haven't grown up enough yet to just roll with it like HS kids :<

God Eater 01
You know watching this show really highlights just how cookiecutter a lot of these post-apocalyptic Shonen shows really are.

Oh god I wish this was an anime.
It even has the right title length: I'm the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I'm Gay so Every Day is Hell for Me.

You're mixing it up with something else.
You mistook it for Prison School probably ?
Or maybe you thought School Live was ecchi and that was why everyone was freaking out.
You can fool me with that title.. pleasantly surprised tho.
Nah, I know about Prison School and School Live..

You mean Prison School or what? Classroom Crisis is super boring by the way, worst show of the season in my opinion.

Yeah it took me a few moments to get used to it. By the time we got the first "timespan" camera angle of the GodEater's facility I was totally sold on the whole package. Show woozes style, all they need to do now is keep the momentum going for the rest of the cour.
Heh thanks. I was looking for an avatar that I would be able to use full time, all my other ones were more about whatever I was playing at the moment. I like to mess around with Photoshop lol.
I really want to give this show a chance. Going by this show's genres on anicharts I thought that this was going to be my slice of life/romance of the season. My replacement of SNAFU :'( Probably not gonna happen. I'm giving it another week or two before I drop it.
Darkness is still running and there will never be a conclusion except for "Rito fucks them all" and I would be okay with it.

That's all rather neat.
Honestly, reading this I just randomly got the thought that I want an anime about learning English (for Japanese) that, while educational, is actually fun and has a bunch of good characters too. In that way similar to Shirobako.
Maybe it could be just this kind of school setting where an or multiple English teacher and a couple students are the main characters. It would probably need to have a higher focus on comedy than drama than Shirobako and less about one continuous semi-realistic portrayal of a generic teacher's and students' life.
Really though, if you can package up the educational bits in an actually competent show instead of some dry bore, that could be a really nice way for children/teenagers to keep at least the basics in mind, as a well done show can be very memorable.
Silver Spoon also comes to mind doing s.th. similar with agriculture, livestock etc.
Couldn't be technically worse than Bikini Warriors
I dig the Student Employment setting, and the show being basically workplace drama with weird "defending the club" trope injection.
I like it.

I remember there being one of those 3 minute "learn Engrish" animes awhile ago.
But really, the problem is that no one Japanese can write that story because the whole point is the foreign nature of it all. It's like that one teacher who had a blog who talked about how kids kept trying to jam their thumbs up his ass, among other things that Japanese kids seem to want to do with teachers.
(You'd probably also want to avoid any mention of the casual racism, so you probably won't have a black English language teacher in any kind of manga/anime for example
)

Eh, It's just that right now I don't find any of the plot points that intriguing, maybe later on but at the moment it's all looking a little meh.
Damn didn't realize most people don't like Classroom Crisis. The weird thing is that the way people feel about Classroom Crisis is the way I feel about the other shows in watching this season: Rokka no Yuusha and Charlotte.
Not that I can't see where people are coming from. Episode 2 was not that amazing and if you're not interested in the subplots, you're aren't interested. It's just that, to me, Classroom Crisis has a lot of momentum for interesting character interactions that the other shows I'm watching haven't really shown yet. Well, ignoring that I already know what's going to happen in Rokka no Yuusha lol.

There was Anna-sensei in that loli baseball show. lol
But it's not like teachers are characters in high school anime anyway.
Funny enough, I was searching Google just to see if anything would come up and found this article:

He got hired by a subcontractor eventually:
And then moved on to Pierrot itself.
The thing is, it's "sitcomey" enough that if you understand the basic tropes that each character represents, you could pretty much get into the show at any natural season opening starting point and be fine. I started at episode 200 when it came back after the break (and made the switch to widescreen) and eventually went backwards, and I don't feel like I missed anything by doing so.
There's continuity, but it's not crucial to the point where you would lose something by skipping to an awesome arc.

So it is good, then? I was internally debating if I should watch it, my prejudice against CG movies made me assume it wasn't good. Not being familir with the franchise didn't help.
THIS ISN'T EVEN ITS FINAL FORM
I don't get it

Gangsta 03

Oh god the flashbacks.
I miss teaching in Japan sometimes.
I kind of hoped Kiniro Mosaic would be a little like this and it wasn't.
Anime studios don't seem to talk to foreigners that much.

Sounds good..
Which question, "what should I watch"? But I did answer
O' crap, my bad, I missd this last night.
And I missed that you also listed Wolf Children. Yeah, definitely watch that as well.
I put them both among the best stuff to come out in the last few years. Wolf Children is a better film, but they're both great.
This is the cutest thing!
I wonder how my students would react if they asked me what my favorite animes are

It's beautiful. Thank you.
Every time I think about starting a manga/anime collection, I end up going digital or streaming to save money and space.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty awesome, but you should know, there's not much I don't think is great, so admittedly, I may not be the best judge on quality. I've enjoyed (to varying degrees) basically every anime I've ever watched in my life. Well, except for Rail Wars. That is without a doubt, complete trash.
Honestly this season has been such a wash on that front.
I would say Wakaba Girl has the OP of the season.
I'll trust your positivity
