Just watched mob psycho 100. Definitely interested in seeing more of this. I really dig the style of the show.
I also finished episode 5 of kabaneri of the iron fortress and the show is certainly interested. Now if only I could manage my time better.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE (End)
Anime when? At least I can get back to watching my backlog now.

Neither the show or the manga say that she is autistic. But by all accounts, it seems as though she is. Hence, it is not overt.
Was there a problem in what I said?
Don't say I didn't warn you. In fact, i have a feeling I'll be the last one standing watching this when summer is over
Am I the only one excited that we're getting more Gundam Build fighters even if it's just a Try ova?
I mean the series is far from perfect but their isn't much mecha stuff going on and I really enjoyed how since it's people fighting with toys instead of actual people vs actual people they could get really crazy with some of the battles
Hopefully we'll get a season 3.

Sore Ga Seiyuu episodes 7-13(END)
There's a lot I can say about this show, about its inconsistent character art styles, about the rather fun characters, about the OP and ED which just were not good tbh. But more importantly I think the thing to be said about this show is that its kind of important, if only because of how it handles its content. Unlike many anime which dips mostly into wish fulfillment and grandeur, this show was much more about people who are in a tough industry just barely getting through. Hell, the end has the main character
. But unlike something like Sakurasou, which was much more dramatic in its showing of anxiety and crippling frustration and despair, Sore Ga Seiyuu keeps things rather grounded, allowing the audience to see that being a Seiyuu is actually really difficult but at the same time the show has enough energy that it doesn't feel like its being melodramatic or annoying with what its saying. With the exception of the final episode, all the show does is lay the cards flat, tells you like it is, but then tries to have an entertaining show around that. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails on that front. I'm not sure this show is trying explicitly to be special in how it shows things or what its trying to say, but regardless I think its something that people should probably see, whether you like it or not. It should also be noted that I haven't watched Shirobako yet, but plan to eventually.
(TL;DR, its a show that handles the job of a Seiyuu in a way that isn't meant to make the viewer feel depressed or to emotionally screw with you, but at the same time, the show doesn't lie to you about the hardships either.)
Recommended.
1 more down from my backlog. 2 more shows and I can start doing what I want

celebrating that they aren't let go, but rather on what can basically be called probation

I did not. All Asterisk was is basically a story about a chicklet magnet that is so strong that the only reason he couldn't be even stronger is because, *ahem* he had shackle put around his power or something by his older sister or something? Oh and she died at some point too I believe. Then came the disgustingly annoying head patting every 5mins, which reminded me of a friend of a mine that can't help herself but pat every dog she sees on the head.
With Rakudai, at least we were being told the story of a guy that needed to try hard and wanted the acknowledgement of a parent that neglected him. Sure, story is a edgy as any other trashy LN, but at the very least the main character wasn't patting every girl as if they were his pets.

S2 was a crime to anime viewers worldwide and those last three episodes were shameless advertising for their LN..

In the beginning I found Rakudai better than Asterisk. But by the end of them both I liked Asterisk better.
Asterisk S2 wasn't anything amazing, but I still found it to be a good watch it is maybe a step or two better than the typical LN battleschool harem tripe I watch.

Do Olympics usually interfere with anime? I cant remember if it did the last time it happened.

I still don't know why so many people in this thread felt the need to watch both these LN magic high school shows and compare the two.
SliceSabre

Because usually I am able to gleam some entertain value out them and because there are so many one cannot help but compare them.
I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with. The OVA format promises battles with a lot of visual flair at the very least.
I also wonder how they'll handle the release strategy. Perhaps add English subtitles and offer it as an import edition through RightStuf?

How does one watch similar things and not compare them?
There arguing as to which one was less mediocre.

Shamelss self promotion!Guessing that yes it does.
Oh and you reminded me:

Huh I certainly wasn't expecting this kinda start to the MC being good at baseball and having a group of dudes that already accept her and her skills.

Asatsu-DK just acquired Gonzo.
You can say they're very safe now just like Madhouse and David Production.

Re:zero 15
This fucking show is far too brutal - I really want these guys to have a happy ending but I know it won't happen.
I really do like how the show often forgoes the OP and ED so as to get into the story right away. Also, that credits scroll was incredibly good and very well framed, emphasising Subaru's general powerlessness

Having Subaru completely lose it and close in on himself was really powerful and a very good payoff for his dickishness over the past few episodes, I think.

(especially given that he doesn't die in some grand way, he just freezes to death.) Having the credits linger over that shot of his corpse getting slowly covered by the snow was really striking to me.
I was referring to this particular scene in my post on Mob Psycho 100 earlier, while there are a lot of stunning sequences, I found it the most impressive. Would love to know the animator for it.

So, like clockwork, I sorta kinda wanted to watch anime again. After years and years of not really watching anime.
And I watched Taboo Tatto 01...
...
Then I watched Servamp 01...
...
Finally, I watched Sakurako and fell in love again. Five episodes in a row. All is well in the world. I hope the series doesn't shit the bed in its final stretch.
I think I should try other mystery anime. I have Ranpo and Hyouka in my sight.

Regalia - 02
The mecha fights in this show are pretty cool. I liked how this Gottwald looking dude used magician tricks in the battle like cards, illusions etc with his mecha that also wears a top hat and cane!
Too bad I couldn't care less about anything else in this show. Will probably just end up skimming for the fights.
The amount of void time that got spent on the "sizes" question gave me a confused laugh. Now that's an opening cliffhanger if I ever saw one!

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hopes Peak High School Episode 1 Despair Arc 1: Hello Again, Hopes Peak High School
I like this one a bit more than the other, it just seems nicer to be back in the high school setting and so many crazy characters. Also the OP song and visuals is better than Future arc.
cant wait to see where we go, please dont die.

LMAO, why are you watching the trash I recommended at work?
Who do you think you are?

That is some naked gun shit going on.
Tsubasa is gonna be great in anime form, lmao
Guessing that yes it does.
Man... fuck Rio if it delays shows during the weekend. Food Wars better not be affected or RIOT.
Danganronpa 3: Despair - 1
Yup, better than Future. Missed some of those guys (Ibuki is still perfect) and also liked
. OP and ED were also pretty good. And now, some questions/doubts:

Even though I want to see things unfold in the Future side, my expectations are higher with this one.

Chisa

That intro. Future's first death now makes sense. She was involved with those Remnants and must have felt despair. Still too soon to consider her the traitor but those first minutes were extremely interesting.
Future Foundation must have used Chisa as an inspiration to create Usami/Monomi. It just makes sense.
Chiaki. She's real. Where is she? Could be the only one not to fall into despair but now that it's known she existed (unless there's another Neo World Program twist), something must have happened to her during those years. Again, it remains to be seen.
