Re:Zero 10
Damn, that must suck to attempt to try and say something but get physically held up by a grip from who he cannot see or know who did it to him, but he uses it as bait to draw out the ones who did the curse.
Re:Zero 11
The turning point at last where Rem's attitude changes, I guess, and we see the origin of the twins, though I don't like this overcompensation.

Thank goodness Roswaal came back and incinerated those damn dogs.

They've had maybe 1 or 2 episodes where they explored character background and the dead mom has an actual focus, but there aren't that many episodes.

Has anyone posted the outstanding success Makoto Shinkai's movie Your Name is in the Japanese box office? It has earned 3.8 billion yen in 10 days. Well deserved. I saw the premier at Anime Expo, and I can highly, highly recommend everyone to see this movie when it is possible. It was outstanding. I will definitely see it again if it becomes available in the US, which with this success should be guaranteed.

Endride ep.20
I'm not sure why they keep skipping weeks of the simulcast (probably because it's pretty bad) but we had a huge reveal this weem that Shun and Emilio
that is all insane to think about and believe.
Sorry DTL, the ship is dead,lol. I think I'm the only one still watching now that DTL is gone..

ah ok, I think the misunderstanding for me was that I thought that the web novel and the light novel were from two different authors

I wish the show was more of that, with the cooking just being how they all cope with their problems and whatnot. What a shame.

Kaiji 1-13
Pretty entertaining how it seems like Kaiji has a handle on the situation only for luck to punch right back in his face and then pick him up again before punching him again. It's pretty amazing how he got out of fully losing on the ship. This human derby arc doesn't quite reach that gambling suspense and seems relatively straightforward focusing on morale rather than wit. Still pretty cool though

Taboo Tattoo ep.10
God, why is this show so bad? Only a couple episodes left and the story makes absolutely no sense, but hey, we still get a couple of ridiculas pandering scenes each week that are cringe-worthy hat tips to the ridiculously perverse loli loving otaku crowd.

Taboo Tattoo 10
This show is stupid and the humor in this episode was strangely placed as per usual. Princess makes a beach video laughing at fat Americans while the the MC crew is going to comiket. But I guess now we're getting somewhere because the MC and his new squeeze have gone full edgelords now in order to beat the Princess.
I hope she fucking kills both of them.

Mushishi Zoku Sho 12 - Fragrant Darkness
I've started on the back half of season 2, finally, and when I first started watching this episode I thought I was going to talk about how annoyed I was with the generic "darkness" background that's been showing up in the last three episodes (the first in my memory being the Path of Thorns OVA), which I don't think is very evocative and feels cheap. It would have fit, because I found episode 11 pretty disappointing on the whole.
But then the episode really got going, and it totally blindsided me with how good it was. It took a pretty difficult, ambitious concept and absolutely nailed it. In turns beautiful, moving, and darkly unsettling, it really left me with a lot to think about. There's a comment that the subject of this episode makes, around when Ginko tells him about the mushi at work here, which is a pretty great encapsulation of how hard it is to look back on a life.
God, I love this show.

Having read all about it, this year that's as low as low can go so that would be impressive. I jumped ship after episode 1 lol.

I said in my impressions of this episode that this was like Endless Eight, but good. The dreamlike tone of this story, with its impressionist circular editing, really appeals to me. I like how we the audience slowly become aware of what's going on just as the main character of this story does.
Of course, I'm such a big Mushishi fan I can't think of any episode that disappointed me. I was fond of the previous episode as well.
i'm half with you and half not. I don't feel compelled the watch the show because of the lack of an overplot, but when I do eventually get around to it I kinda just feel like all I want is to bathe in the healing cooking and not have to worry about drama

You should watch Koufuku Graffiti then.
I don't need angsty drama, but what I don't like about Sweetness and Lightning is how much of every episode is focused on the specific mechanics of cooking. If I wanted to watch someone teach me how to cook, I'd go watch the Food Network.

It's like a train wreck; you just can't look away from the devestation sometimes...
No, there hasen't been any underaged brother and sister shit going on at least. Just the ridiculous princess and her yuri lust for lolis.
I haven't seen Endless Eight, so the parallel that came to my mind was Paradox Spiral. Except that was going for a more sinister effect.
Disappointing is by Mushishi standards, of course.
I also wasn't very partial to episode 8 of Zoku Sho (the one with the whistling).

Yeah I have been told the same but I always dismissed the show as one of those "cute girls doing cute things" kind of shows. Would I be wrong?

New Game ep.9
Can we just get an official yuri ship already? These managers just keep dancing around it and need to just go all in already, lol. Oh, and panty shots in a game are definately bugs. Also, is that gun crazy manager trying to make Aoba jelly but having her best friend sit next to her and not able to talk to Aoba?

They've had episodes that focused on developing the father/daughter relationship or exploring how important Tsumugi's mother was to them, the last few episodes were great examples of that. This episode was mostly focused on the pure enjoyment of cooking but otherwise the cooking is usually treated as an emotional cap at the end of the episode.

Well, it's only like Endless Eight in the basic idea of a time loop.
I think it's fair to say that some stories are more impactful than others, but the consistent atmosphere each episode sets up never fails to draw me into its world. It scratches an itch few other TV shows do.
You're not wrong, but it's got sensitive characterization with the spice of some light low-key drama to sell it emotionally. It's not just frivolous comedy.
Funny, that's what I like about it.
I would legit just watch an animated cooking show.
Of course it would be a tremendous waste of time and money when you could just point a camera at a person, but still.

Yeah definitely one of the standout episode of the season. That ending was dark as hell.
This is a series that doesn't seem to have the compunction to actually pull the trigger.
Eccentric Family 2 gonna be netflix exclusive
That was a smart move of PA.Works of comissioning the sword. This video will soon or later get a million views to increase exposure of Kuromukuro considering the interest in the west in nearly dead due to netflix blueballing because they want to do a batch release instead of streaming weekly.

Poor Hifumi, she just wants to be friends with Aoba, but doesn't understand mean fun and thinks she is being bullied by Aoba, lol. Pretty cute episode.

Mob wasn't just caught unawares in the last fight, most of the beating he received was when he was obviously holding back. When he clicked a hundred percent he handled that fool like a doll but his inexperience led him to be downed while his opponent made a swift exit. In this fight he was not holding back one bit, this is mobs full conscious power and he could handle this grunt quite easily. Of course there are stronger espers waiting. Been a while since I read the Manga so I forgot what happens next but I do remember quite a number of battles took place so the next episodes should be awesome
reigen borrowing mobs power should be awesome animated.

WOW, fucking Roid...

What a fucking secretive degenerate Windermerean that bastard is, using Shibari to tie up Mikumo, what the fuck... He ought to be executed for this.
well, I haven't seen most of these - need to add some to my list

The Eccentric Family:
Beautiful anime. Glad I went back to finish it before it got taken down. The art for this show was just breathtaking, the direction was incredible, and above all else, it just had such a sense of pure enjoyment behind the whole show. It's such a bizarre and unique anime, but it's one that I think helped remind me what I love about anime. We need more shows with the craftsmanship and creativity of The Eccentric Family.

Lol. But seriously, there is a true beauty in Shin Godzilla and how Anno shows off his experience as a filmmaker. It's a tight film that knows exactly what it is, is confident as fuck, and probably represents the strongest translation of anime production skills to live action ever. Oshii, eat your heart out.

Cant really compare anything to Godzilla that isnt Pacific Rim.
King Kong is another one I suppose.
