I'll go into the ending with slightly low expectations then. I do have the movies to watch immediately after the series so I should be set.
Might as well ask. #TeamRanka or #TeamSheryl?

I've been gushing about this since the start! >_<

7 episodes in, I'm not quite sure yet but I'm leaning towards #TeamSheryl. Possibly subject to change though.
Ranka singing "My Boyfriend Is a Pilot" was too good, I will admit.
It's complicated for me in that I probably like Ranka more personally, but think Sheryl is the better fit for Alto. I do think they're both really likable, though, and their musical styles are different enough that I think it's possible to like both of them almost equally on that front. Though from an artistic standpoint I like Megumi Nakajima's performance more because she's doing both sides, whereas Sheryl is split between Aya Endo doing the acting and May'n doing the singing.
Heeeeeey everyone!!! I'm back!! Good to be back with everyone once again!
So because I've been out for a month, can't give an update on being here for 4 months, boooo ~ to that. Aside from that, I have been lurking and enjoying all the updates everyone has given (Though I wish people would be more considerate about using spoiler tags, please).
I'm currently sitting on 18 write ups for anime, as in, during the month of July I've seen 18 shows + another 19 or so that are currently airing. I've thought about it for a bit and decided the best way to go about doing this is if I were to drop 3-4 reviews per day, spread out around 3-4 hours to minimize the spam. I'll start posting them tomorrow in no real order of when I watched or what I thought of them (though we all probably know how that part went =).
I'm really glad to be back though, I've really missed you all! <3
I love songs by May'n so that probably influences my preference for Sheryl somewhat.
Weren't Basara and Mylene split in 7, as well? One person for VA and another for singing?
Surprisingly, not much. Content-wise, it's a darker magical girl series like Madoka with a heavier focus on action over despair, but its fights borrow more from shounen with their variety, hot-blooded and over the top nature over the more focused Sentai trappings you'll usually see. There's also a ton of idol stuff and rather than a straight-up magical aesthetic, the suits and powers are far more mechanical-based with crazy stuff like buzzsaw pigtails and other stuff along those lines.
Also light yuri elements.
Edit: Black Rock Shooter might be a good comparison, but it's better and more coherent.
Which is the best and should have the most impact and would be a good watch for everyone?
We'll go with a more action/psycho/adventure oriented anime after this one, then go back to one of these that doesn't get selected.
So chumps, after having finished Sabagebu and Minami-ke, I need another comedy series to watch at night before I go to sleep. Am taking recommendations.

The first thing our newly transformed MC does as a girl, is to of course fondle
And I haven't even talked about the Nurse X Principal scenes. Oh there was some nice looking action effects too I guess.
Senki Zesshou Symphogear - 13 [Season 1 END]
This was truly an incredible show that has easily made its way into my top 10 best shows of all time. Again I have to thank r_thanatos for being both so persistent and patient with me in checking this series out, this was truly a gem that I honestly should've been on top of from the start. Why this doesn't have a ton of doujinshi for it quite honestly boggles my mind.
Will most likely start on season 2 tomorrow, going to watch some Koshien in the meantime.
.
That self awareness.
I want to believe more Full Metal Panic will be adapted, but fuck I don't want to be disappointed.
It's nice to have you back.
Arcy! Welcome back from your "vacation!"
I'm looking forward to reading what you'very been watching bro.
Welcome back! Looking forward to reading your writeups
Welcome back!
Just be careful what you post oki buddy?
Told ya'll.Maken-Ki OVA 2
Honestly I'm kind of shocked. Everything until this has been fairly tame. They unleashed whatever was holding them back and just went straight to lewdtown. The sky is the limit, talk about a tone shift, jesus.
They even turned the male MC into a girl! There was a 15 second scene consisting entirely of boobs smacking into each other. Everything was mute except the sound of the meat impacts. What an age we live in.
The first thing our newly transformed MC does as a girl, is to of course fondlehisher newly discovered meat sacks and masturbating! But that isn't enough so the sights turns to the other female inhabitants of the confined area.
What then proceeds are normal female activities such as nipple rubbings and tits wrestling. Our MC then frequently turns back and forth between male and female as he receives kisses from the other females.
And I haven't even talked about the Nurse X Principal scenes. Oh there was some nice looking action effects too I guess.
The animation accompanying all this was great! This ova is a masterpiece. Whomever creative mastermind conjured these ideas into this existance, I thank you.
Javac , about your UK list , you've listed fate kaleid season 1 as BD release when it's Blu-ray and DVD ( separate release for each on the same day ) while linking the DVD amazon link only.
I believe this is the link for the blu-ray release
Hm... Guess I should get The Eccentric Family
Maiharu Hiromi has moved from Nagasaki to Kamakura at the start of her high school years. Kamakura is a beautiful, mountainous place, with a view of the sea and Mt. Fuji, and Hiromi is thrilled to explore the area. Hiromi hasn't ridden a bike since she was very young, but she attempts to ride to her first day of school anyway. In her case, riding a bike does not come naturally, and she ends up bumping into her first friend, Tomoe, who helps her learn how to ride. It turns out Tomoe is going to be in Hiromi's class, and their teacher is also a cyclist. Now Hiromi's exciting high school life, full of new friends and learning about cycling is about to start!
Is it actually worth watching the series at all? I don't have much this season so I was looking for something else.
In response to the shitstorm surrounding Dragon Ball Super 5, Thomas Romain decided to drop some truth bombs on Twitter. Its probably stuff we in here already know but for those less well informed:
On a happier note, here is a short interview with Kimiko Ueno, the woman responsible for writing some of the best Space Dandy episodes.
Speaking of stuff worth watching, how's M3? All I need for it to be is not boring, even if it's stupid.
So if series actually took breaks like they do in the west, we would have better products for the most part?

Dtl are you secretly pizzolato?Its a gamechanger. Eeeie, dark, yet full of endearing leads. The mechas are so brutal in the lightless realm. Its memorable.
Durarara X2 is making me scared of rewatching the first anime, was it always this boring?

And I'm still surprised at how good GATE is. Not the best of the season or anything like that, Umaru-chan, Non Non Biyori Repeat (that Teru Teru Bozu episode was possibly the best in the series, probably still losing to the Candy Store episode last season) and Gangsta are still my favorites, but GATE is really damn good. Ushio to Tora is starting to form a more solid story instead of having independent episodes forever, and holy shit at the production values of this series, it always looks so good.
School Live is getting boring to me, I might drop it in the next episode.
Rokka is still very much worth watching.
Mika also got some quality screentime but that was expected ;P
Daisuki has finally embraced Mother Russia
I dropped it too this season. I wondered the same, I feel like maybe it could have been the nostalgia glasses that made it better than it was. Cuz tbh, thinking back the older episodes were just like this too. At the time I enjoyed it, maybe because I was younger and didn't care. Now it's boring.
The character bloat hadn't reached this level, but the first season had its own issues with pacing. And the terrible use of narration, thank god that's actually gone away. But Drrr is pretty much what it has always been.
I actually surprised by the number of anime that I have been following and have been great watches this season.
Charlotte
Gate (love that OP)
Rokka
Prison School

Wakaba*Girl

Shinometa
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime
I mean, this is a lot more shows than I watched over the winter, lol
Plus, I'm still stying to catch up on Ore Mongatari
Yes, it's indeed a pretty good season. Many surprises for me, I didn't think I'd be watching half as much stuff as I am.
About Ore Monogatari, you're in for a treat if you still didn't reach Saijou's episodes. She's so good :')
And it's so refreshing how they don't waste time with the usual bullshit, they have their insecurities and doubts like every other romance anime, but it actually gets solved, it's not the same shit for YEARS.
EDIT: And why are you not watching Gangsta? >_<
Shit's awesome.
Don't worry guys, Netflix is going to save anime.
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20150806-00000008-eiga-movi
Netflix is going launch in Japan at September, and not just that, they also planning to make multiple anime series and movies in the future.
No shit, how could you not see this coming
Friday
- Soma
- Classroom Crisis
I have and although I shouldn't be saying this since I am from that generation, it's too 90's for me lol.Man, Friday is the busiest day of the week for me, have you checked out Ushio to Tora?
I have and although I shouldn't be saying this since I am from that generation, it's too 90's for me lol.
I could totally see it. I liked Yamato a lot, it had that 90's feel too but the visuals looked like something from now. I'm not a big fan of the design in Tora /:that 90's feel is what makes it so refreshing.
Tempting me to jump back in. I only watched like 4 episodes of this when it came out.Mirai Nikki ep-4-6
Ok, Yuna is just plain demonic and psychotic, nevermind about being yandere. She is 100% certified crazy. I mean, those cult scenes, damn. BTW, Yukii needs to man up. Why not just tap 'dat a$$? He should know by now, there is no way out of the mess and he can clearly see her intentions (for now).
So that little boy isanother diary owner, damn... Do they have to kill the little boy with the mom there? He obviously already tried to kill Yukii with the scissors
This show is just pure craziness all the way around. I'll check out a couple more episodes, then switch to something more sane for the afternoon.....
