Huh I wasn't aware of that. If he's on board with Yuri on Ice than that should be a treat for the ears. If that pans out it would be good to see that he's still around. To be honest though, when I said "Watanabe anime" I was more talking about something he directed/co-directed. I'm not really interested in a Bebop sequel but I'm always looking forward to the "next" Bebop/Champloo/Dandy if you catch my drift.

The Zeon are very much Nazi-esque. The Original Series had a basis in World War 2 afterall.

Yep. Again, Ghiren Zabi is directly compared to Hitler (By his own father of all people)

Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! 1-5
Everything is right with the world.
I actually never got that far into the 3rei!! manga, so after episode 4 is all material I haven't seen before. This marks the first time that I'll actually be watching the anime without already knowing what happens, since I had read the manga of the original and 2wei! long before the anime series began airings.
Why am I even using spoiler tags for this. Does anyone even watch this besides me or care about it?

It's cool to see that when Illya installs the Saber card, she manifests as Saber Lily. Seeing Golden Boy version of Gil is quite entertaining too, it's nice that he learned how to call people mongrels from an early age because it wouldn't be right otherwise.

seriously that show is the grim reaper. Post a gif and see your account get banned lmao
Well that's what I'm saying, though. No Watanabe project since Cowboy Bebop has had characters I love experiencing that much. Samurai Champloo comes close (and in some ways I like it more as a complete piece), but I want more of these specific characters.
Space Dandy is also one of my favorite sits in recent years, I love it a lot, but the characters are sort of just whatever that episode or story needs them to be.

Sword Art Online II
Man, THESE FEELS. Just finished season 2 and Mother's Rosario arc. I didn't shed any tears but I was legit close lol. I think season 2 was even better than the first season.
I don't care what the haters say man, I really enjoyed Sword Art Online! Yuukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 
Also, any word on a possible season 3?

The first half of the season was really interesting when they brought back the "die in the game die in the real world" possibility, and the Asada/Shinon character was really cool, as well as the whole BOB tournament and trying to figure out how the players were dying IRL. Then the excalibur arc was cool as the show went back to a non-serious tone and they were gaming for the fun of it and trying to get that rare quest item excalibur. I was laughing when they saw the fairy behind the bars that Klein wanted to save and everyone was like "it's a trap" haha. Then the final arc "Mother's Rosario" was completely not what I expected. I don't know if I've ever had feels like this watching an anime. Yuuki's story was really touching and how she wanted to get her & her friends names on the list before she died so it would be proof that they had once lived. Then how she was always so cheerful despite what she was going through and the whole story of what happened to her family. Then it was also cool to see Asuna back fighting again and taking a turn in the spotlight for a change. And also it was cool to see Asuna work things out with her mom, and the last after-the-credits scene with the whole group at the picnic.

Probably won't hear anything until after the movie.Sword Art Online II

Mother's Rosario And early Aincrad are by far the strongest parts of the show. Taking Kirito away as the MC and having Asuna in the spot light was fantastic.
there is an original movie coming.
as far as I know the next arc in SAO is just wrapping up.
it's also unknown if that is all that is planned for SAO at this time as apparently it covers what was originally published online.
if the author calls it good we could see a season 3 that covers all of that.
if not, not sure as you aren't going to want to burn all the books right away for another season while the novels again slowly come out.
to my knowledge the anime as it is covers 8 or 9 volumes of light novels.
the next arc is 9 or 10 novels.
so yeah....
if they do it we might be looking at a 52 episode third season of SAO.
there is also a spin off to SAO called SAO progressive which covers the first arc in way more detail.
so we could maybe see a season 3, and after that progressive might be ready to be made into like a 52 episode version of the first arc

This is exactly the sort of story you'd want from a mafia series. Exploring the conflict between personal ties between family and old friends and the bond of loyalty the organization expects. The final scene between Bear and Sid was touching.
Brandon has gotten better as a character. Ironically he's talking more as a lonely assassin figure than when he was at the heart of a group of close-knit friends.
Watanabe said after Kids on the Slope and around the time Space Dandy was announced that he was hoping to direct a project per year. That goal seems to have crumbled after Terror though.

Holy shit, this hit the fan quickly, and wow, the music in the opening credits gave me the chills. It's like watching Godfather or some other crime drama.
That dark shadow over Angelo's eyes is definitely the look of someone who's been through too much after 7 years and returning to this wretched town. I almost thought he was going to do a Max Payne style of narration.

I'm curious as to why you picked up Best Wishes. All I've heard is that it's the worst Pokemon anime region, which I didn't think was possible after Johto.

To suffer like all shonen anime watchers.
When he returned to directing after a long hiatus, he said that his plan was to remain very active and to do at least 2 shows a year once he had momentum again. But in the end, after Kids on the Slope got a middling response, Japan ignored Space Dandy, and Terror in Resonance didn't even make the mildest impact, he seems to have given up again. Either that or his sponsors have given up on him.
I think TiR broke him. It seemed like he was all revved up for it and flop. I don't know if he's in the doghouse with producers either after Space Dandy's high profile crash and burn.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.
I have never heard of this.
Well I'm watching it but I don't mention it because I assume if you've watched series one and liked it you're going to watch series two.
A Tale of Two Cities? They already got some Prince and Pauper stuff going.
That's just The Dark Knight Rises.
But do we get the Earthquake Doomsday Machine? Could fit some Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 in there.
And that's so sad, because both shows were good. Even if Terror could have done without the Five stuff. In the end, all episodes with Five seemed completely unnecessary for the plot and were also not as good as the ones without Five. It was still a good show with a godly OST.
And Space Dandy is a great anime.

I comment on every episode I watch. But the last episode was just the hot springs episode so there wasn't much to say.
Everyone's already said these two but I'll say it again, Mob Psycho 100 and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable.
Oh and Thunderbolt Fantasy caught me by surprise though that's not really an anime... but it's so much fun and better than almost every other show this season
