Battery The Animation Episode 5:
Well then, I was not expecting the title of this show to refer to the other sort of battery. That being said, this show deserves praise for the levels of loathsome Takumi truly is as he accidentally becomes a symbol for toxic sports mentality.

Excellent episode. I guess the journey begins now as they search for paradise. Lots of questions still, bit I'm guessing they will be answered in time.

That case was really disappointing for me.
You'd think the ultimate gambler/liar would be able to do something better then that travesty. At least she got Hifumi killed. Still love her design though

You actually going to watch it. This is great news. Are you watching it in Eng dub or Jap dub? Would stick with the Eng as it's the much better dub I have heard. Also, be prepare for the journey which get interesting and will answer quite a few questions while at the same time one of the better anime I have watch for a while. So much stuff is done so well in the show.

We could link all the songs! We are missing all my best friends are metal heads and the digi-rap. Digimon had so many good songs in the dub!
I can't link any since I'm not on my pc though.

No Man's Sky is so boring and self defeating in its gameplay loop that I think I'd rather watch anime
I havent opened it...

Turn A Gundam - 24
Another great episode.
Loran is a fantastic Gundam protagonist. It really fascinates me on just how unique of a MC he is compared to lots of other male MCs we see nowadays.
He's a pacifist, but isn't afraid to fight. He's innocent, but he's not naive. There's this likeable, childish charm to him that just puts a smile on my face. He tries his hardest to talk sense to his opponents rather than lose his cool and go straight to tearing them apart.
This was especially apparent in this episode where Loran gets socked in the face by the Red team's leader and keeps talking to her like nothing happened. But his words don't reach her because the hatred she had for Dianna had been festering for generations due to her being a descendent of one of Dianna's subordinates left on Earth, making her feel even more guilty than she already was. That ending scene with Loran dancing with her after telling her how much he loved the Earth and revered her was just beautiful.

Bojack Horseman S3
Bojack is horrible person and I wish all the world's ills upon him. Best anime of the year.

Bojack is the drug addicted family member you want to love but he keeps disappointing you, yet you never stop giving him a shot even as he steals your shit.

And here I thought that 'horse-race' stuff was the weirdest I'd see today.
No bullying!
The PV music was pretty chill though. Didn't expect them to put everything in English, hahaha

Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc - 05
AAAAND THERE THEY ARE. The episode was called "The Beginning of the End" for good reason. Hold onto your seats folks, the true despair arc begins now.

Aijn: Demi Human 8-13
This remained fantastic. I found it surprising that the focus sort of shifted to the villains just wrecking shop for the latter half of the season. The attack on Grant Pharma is the sort of thing I expect to see in a big budget superhero movie nowadays, and I found it really well executed.
Then to follow it up with Episode 12...I think it was one of the most impressive action thriller episodes of anything I've seen in years. Inventive and intense.
I can't wait for season 2.

Hajime no Ippo 11
This episode ended with Takamura pulling Ippo's pants down in front of the girls at a hostess club to show them how big his penis is.
Yeah.

Turn A Gundam - 25
About time Loran took a stand to this Laura nonsense he's been labelled with by Guin for 25 episodes. He's starting to realize that he's just being used by him this whole time.
The end of this episode was pretty interesting. Borjano made an interesting analogy with her calling Loran a Cougar rather than an Angel, and hinted that once Loran's had enough of taking orders from Guin, he'll go after him, which apparently is something that he actually wants.
Music was on point with the fight in this episode. The Turn A slicing the WaDom to pieces and using his freaking beam sabers as deflector shields against enemy fire was great.
Little gags like these are the best.

Yuru Yuri Season 3
It was a bit of a drag to get through some of the episodes, but there were quite a few episodes that had me on the ground laughing. Still isn't as good as season 1 or 2, but it's hard to really top those. I would be fine if they stopped here. The direction they went this season was a little weird and if they were to continue going in that direction I don't know if I would stay with it. I think it would be good for it to end here. I would be satisfied.

Speaking of Keijo PV's... Damn, that 90 second one.
I hope this is crazy fun trash, lol

I'm guessing they are going to retcon or remove the first arc of the manga, since not one trailer has shown anything from it. Which means a higher chance for the "true" madness (like Hips of Babylon) from the manga to be animated.

I guess this is a little like what Kiznaiver would have been had it gone the action route.

GuP sucks so its not surprising the movie sucks too.
Functionally there isn't a difference which always amuses me when people pretend like there is. All the matters is execution and tone. What time of story is the show trying to tell (comedy, drama, etc.) and how well does it sell you on making encounters engaging. That's all that matters and all that has ever mattered.
Yes
For the sake of not shitposting: I didn't like GuP because I didn't like the characters, I didn't like the aesthetics, I didn't like the humor, the narrative was banal and most of the battles weren't interesting.

Id be interested in reading it. Finished it myself but had no intention of writing too much, as I don't have the time or patience to write a mega post for it.
Easily my show of the season, and probably in my top 10 for the year assuming it stays this good.
Of course Flying Witch was my show of last season, so my tastes probably do skew a bit differently to most.
