Restarted Jojo Stardust Crusaders - Egypt Arc and finished it. Stardust Crusaders is one of those shows with huge swings between the stuff I love and the shit I fucking hate, making it a difficult series to rate. Still, I hope they adapt more of the Jojo stuff and it's not as doofy as Stardust Crusaders. I liked Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency more.

Monster Musume 1
I was idly waiting for a download to be done so I decided to just kill some time with this.
I read the manga so I didn't give the show a shot because I didn't really expect either the humor or charm to carry over well and just have the ecchi be done poorly.
That said, color me surprised. Pretty darn faithful and Darling is animated and voiced very well to keep a lot of what makes him one of the more fun "generic" MCs going. Decent comedic timing, decent animation (1st episode so who knows if that remains true), decent boobs. You know, just a sort of fun, mindless watch.
Doesn't hurt that the ED has the best secondary characters by far, Smith and the police girls. Love that zombie.
Gonna be a couple episodes til best Monster Girl shows up (Rachnee) but I think I'll give this show a watch now. Pleasant surprise.

Non Non Biyori: Repeat 12 [END]
Wow, what a great ending to this superb season, AOTS without question.
Season 3 when.

Non Non Biyori Repeat - 12 [END]
I think this show as a whole (both seasons) probably has to go up there on my best of all time list. Especially with Repeat it graduated past its few misteps to become one of the most touching, relaxing, and all around feel-good anime I've ever watched.
Teared up during the extended ED just because it was all over.
I don't think my heart could take another concentrated season of boring (also they might have run out of manga to adapt)

It could be worse.
You could be experiencing this terrible arc while also seeing the VN art!

I feel you brother :*(
I felt that the whole "let's do this again next year" at the end was at least some conformation, it also doesn't seem that hard to make more content of this.
But hey, I'm a K-on! fan, believing in a third season that never comes is what I do best.
No way
This makes me question reality.
What a shame. Guessing a sequel is pretty unlikely huh?
If imagine it'd depend if the LNs got a significant boost.
Rokka to be expected, but I thought Umaru would sell more.
Maximilian Kolbe
Member
It's never likely since begin with, sadly.
Just read the LN if anyone want more.
Got a ok boost(worst than Overlord and GATE, better than Kuusen and shimoneta) but don't think is enough.
China streaming services and users love Rokka so a second season is very likely. This will shift many other series in the future to more sequels I guess.
Edit: Nice to see Monster Musume doing well...lol.

That's about it. Oh, and Yaru Yari
It's always worth a shot. We never know when amazing happens.
Truth. The sad cold truth for this fall. It truly is time to catch up on even more backlog because it looks like this season is gonna suck. Dammit Gate and Shirayuki-hime, why the season break?

That's what I'm saying! Just continue the show on Daisuki. Heck you can even continue doing the whole one week break between every two episodes, I don't care!

Huh, the winner of the election was actually a lot more predictable than I was expecting it to be. Overall this was just an ok show. Nothing fantastic, just your average anime show.

The TV channel Tokyo MX is on the God Eater production committee, and I doubt they would agree to a distribution method for the final episodes that did not involve them airing on their channel.

Pity that Kuroro doesn't remember anything. This episode is a perfect example of why body language is important. Kirara made this episode through that alone. Along with asking the important question of what Shamour does of course. The black cats totally won that fashion contest. Shut is still the best villain. Westar would be proud. Seems that Shamour is capable in combat if she has to be.

The characters are fun, the small episode-by-episode moments are really good.
But the overall plot is boring as shit.
So I guess it depends on what you're looking for. I enjoy the stuff I enjoy a lot more than I don't give a shit about the stuff I don't enjoy.
Noragami 3-12+OVAs
That was fun to watch. I expected it more action based but fortunately that's not the case. Some nice comedy and a quite nice tone over all. The characters are also quite charming, even though I disliked Yukine a lot at first. Not a big fan of Yato too, but he's okay. The supporting cast and Hiyori are fantastic though.
Ready for S2 now. I hope it will focus on Nora and Bishamon more. Nora,especially, was pretty interesting.

Yukine is the worst and if they ever want to touch his overly whiny nature again, the better actually tackle his backstory or whatever's the cause for all that. Couldn't believe we never got to know anything about Yukine despite going through all that crap. When the arc concerning his corruption was finally over I was hoping that, despite it's rather unsatisfying conclusion, Yukine would at least no longer be a running waterfall. ...
...
And then he did little more than crying for the final episodes, too, fml.

And a kickass ED.
Hibike being number 2 is awesome, the only anime I really care about in that chart (besides Haikyuu movie).
Fuck yeah it does. I watch EDs even less often than I watch OPs (after I've watched them once), but I never, ever skip Kekkai Sensen's ED. Fuckin' love it, man!

This season only had two OPs that I didn't skip, for some reason. Umaru and Gangsta. The others depended on my mood lol. Like Rokka's was great then it changed, then the last episode brought it back.
It's selling a shitton of merchandise, so I guess it's still a success. Like how Overlord might not sell great on BD, but the LNs have been selling like hotcakes since the anime premiered.
Sucks for anyone not in Japan though, since we have to rely on fan-translations or wait 4 years for the novels to be eventually released in the west.
I do try to watch OPs more after discovering the What's in an OP YouTube series.
I honestly never really approached them from this angle before a couple months ago, but it's pretty neat to realize they're more than just fun videos with songs attached.

But there's Gatchaman this season. Easily the best OP for me.

Oh you should definitely watch more of it, it has style as everyone mentioned but the real star of the show is the setting. It's ridiculous and fun albeit, there isn't much to say about the story immediately.
Non Non Biyori Repeat 12
After one hectic and tiresome bus trip back home, this is just what I needed.
I have to say, I think I prefer watching SoLs at my own pace rather than a weekly thing. There were certain points where it felt like a chore watching which kind of hindered my experience for some episodes. This was on par with the previous season and at times, hit home hard.

We are only three days apart from each other Nman. Happy Birthday.
I always listen to OPs (except if I don't like them) but I usually only watch them once or twice. Afterwards I do something else while they run in the background, like browsing GAF
.This so much. The setting is just ridiculous, crazy and chaotic in the most entertaining way. And the soundtrack is great, too.
