There's gonna be another season of Working...? First I've heard of this - is it basically gonna be the exact same premise but with different characters?
It's based off the spinoff. It was originally an April's fool joke, but I guess demand was high enough for it to become a reality.
There is no finer origin than a joke that people took seriously.

yeah, Sunday was harsh losing all those those shows.... At least more Orange and Tales of Zesteria
Magical Girl Raising Project airs on Sundays (in Japan) starting on the 2nd, so there is something to look forward to soon!

Kamichu sounds like the perfect fit. It got a pretty unique world and premise too.
But Shang hasn't done anything the whole time up to that point! He's just whining like a selfish star player.

Anime thought of the day: Where is my Saki Season 4? I need more supernatural mahjong and yuri action and to see Shizuno win it all.

Non Non Biyori is the best. Amanchu is good too.
Edit: Aria of course, and Sketchbook ~full color's~.
So I got around to read Sakuga blog's(specifically Kevin's) piece on SHAFT studio and Tatsuya Oishi. Very insightful and it helps that I am seeing this in action as I watch Arakawa Under the Bridge.
Worth a read if you are a Monogatari fan.
it's funnier than the actual show

Why you LOL'ing at that?

Thanks for the recommendations ! Do you maybe have any ideas for any other relaxing shows that don't look like just cute girls doing cute things

These are relaxing albeit not entirely "slice of life":
Natsume Book of Friends
Haibane Renmei
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
It's cashews!!!Casshern Sins END
brb, marathoning Texhnolyze to cheer myself up.
Thanks, will go with Natsume ,since i already watched S1 years ago , but forgot about the later seasons. With 4 seasons total, this should last me a few months
, since i usually don't binge watch watch SOL shows and watch an episode when i'm in the mood for them.Kizumonogatari 2
For one, I can't praise the way the show's been handling this adaptation enough. It retains the essence of the Monogatari series even by taking away the internal monologues that were omnipresent in the show, and the return of the first season's director gives it a fresh and distinct look compared to what I've gotten used to starting with Nise onwards.
The lewdness is still there (and how!), the whimsical artstyle changes are still there, and Araragi gives us some much needed male fanservice with his newfound vampire muscles. Removing the internal monologues forced a "show, don't tell" approach to adapting stuff that has been quite good so far, and the more prominent use of pauses alongside Shaft's trademark constant camera changes coupled with quirky scene continuity made it a joy to watch.
I kind of predicted that the movie would end after Episode but before Guilliotine Cutter, because that would've been the best way to structure things after having the first movie cover the events leading up to Araragi accepting Meme's deal in order to recover Kiss-Shot's stolen limbs.
... And I can now add the prospect of staying around to watch Part 3 in January to the long list of reasons why I should try to get a job in Japan.

New Game! 01
So this is just a high school anime where their high school is a job, right? Aoba is the first-year, Hifumi, Yun, and Hajime are the second-years, Yagami-sensei is the wacky home room teacher, Rin is the more down-to-earth gym teacher, Shizuku is the principal, and Umiko is the vice-principal.
So far I give the show a cute-girls-doing-cute-things/10, which is of course the highest score possible.

You really ought to, if you can. The movies are a joy to watch, even though you might not be all that comfortable with the staple crazy Monogatari fanservice.
And then buy the BD once it releases for that sweet, sweet commentary track... which probably will be dropped from the subbed version of the movies, sadly.

I'll throe a couple in there:
Acchi Kocchi
Usagi Drop
Tamako Market
Amagi Brilliant Park
I watched the Hanekawa bits and other fancy clothing with the car crash, and everyone in the theater room chuckled. I'll be fine.
Tnx, have aded Usagi Drop from the bunch to my backlog , to watch in the future since the description looked interesting, and it has a really high score on MAL.
Yep, it is very good. As much as possible do not bother with the manga, draw your own conclusions to the story.

Twin Star Exorcists ep.24
We are still in the "filler" episodes, even though it just feels like a separate arc and nothing different. Pretty good episode overall but lacked the action and passion I really appreciate about the show. Looks like this arc will continue next week as well. Was Sae chan in the manga at all?

Ugh, well this sounds foreboding. (the manga part) Hope it is not what i think it is. I vaguely remember Cornbread and other complaining in the past about how a specific show continues in the manga. Hope they were not talking about this...

A manga doesn't exist for Usagi drop.
Just watch the beautiful anime with the same name.

Seeing this ēlDLIVE Preview makes me pretty hype for it and it also makes me crave a modern Reborn! anime :/

But I don't think that aside from DTL(RIP) and me they are that many Reborn! fans here.

Nope, everything right now is completely original. I think the filler is scheduled for 8 episodes total.

Is anyone else creating any OTs for the fall shows?
I'm doing one for "Magical Girl Raising Project"
Any others? A lot of sequels this fall...

I'm oddly excited for this, as a really rather crap under 15s prop I'm going to enjoy them trying to make something anime out of 30 sweaty, muddy lads throwing cheap digs during rucks and mauls. Cauliflower eared MC anybody?

This will be DTL's AOTS without a doubt.
Do you want to make one? I'll sub!
But still no season 3.....
It would print money!
