Given your ehem tastes, I'd say no, you'd hate it.
I still basically have no western backlog, which is (part of why) I started watching anime in the first place. All I'm watching is Twin Peaks.

The hell, is it cool to hate kobayashi around here or something? It was a fun show.
ah I guess we just touched on that arc then. I couldn't remember. season 2 burned through things so quickly it was hard to remember if they burned through that as well lol.
manga readers know what comes next. And we know just how terrible it is.
after it gets past the moon banquet arc hands down the rest of season 3 will be the worst the soma has offered including the not great start of the series it has.
pretty much everything about the next arc after that is just terrible. tons of battle tropes used, and none of them in a good way. obviously I won't go into details because i don't want to spoil anything for people. But keep your expectations in check.
and this is coming from someone who thinks highly of soma in general as a solid series

I've just found out that the singer of Kyoukai no Kanata ost is a 36 year old lady.
What black magic is that?

Its terrible? I better stop reading then.
if you didn't like sound eupho you won't like hyouka in any way
also not liking sound eupho is punishable by death around these parts

I'd say Hyouka is easily a tier above Eupho and they're not so similar that I'd be surprised by someone liking one but not the other. Especially if the band nostalgia wasn't exactly a boon for them.
Also, let's not forget that Eupho S2 sucked (relatively).

Not that big eyes are anything new in anime, but those certainly look unsettling.
The show try to translate the manga eyes into it but it failed.
Not really, it's just the artstyle. The anime looks pretty much the same as the manga.
You're surprised by the really young kid who is a genius trope?

Hey guys should I watch FLCL dub or subbed?
The Restaurant To Another World #1 - With the dragon I wonder what happens to her satedness when she transforms back.
Its a food show, so it was pretty much a no brainer that I'd like it.
Elegant Days At the Youkai Apartment #1 - Was alright. A yokai show, thats right up my proverbial. With no more Natsume, I guess this will do.

Is the commercial model for television essentially the same in Japan as in America?
The two main girls looked like they just wandered in from Scum's Wish.

Ah so that's the reason, interesting, thanks for the info.
Love and Lies Episode 1:
Okay, this took me a bit by surprise in that the romance isn't god awful and seems to be based on actual human emotions instead of the usual anime emotions written by thousand year old robots that only have a vague notion of what humanity is. That being said, while the actual leads have real chemistry and passion not enough time has passed nor are the leads interesting enough in their own right to fully pull off the coupling at this stage. Also, I have so many questions about this governmental arrangement system that I hope get answered as the series unfurls.

Technically, wouldn't the English dub is more apt, since that's likely what all those with nostalgia for it watched it in back in the Toonami days.
I got curious about how you went from romance to that and looked up concept/setting of the show - WHAT

The dystopian reality Japan needs.
It gets better as the opening narration frames this plan as the actual cure to Japan's low birth rate population.

The manga moves like molasses so I'm kind of curious how fast they will try to move through material here and if they write their own ending.

Fate Apocrypha ep 1
George Lucas called. He wants hisdroids Golems back.
So not only we got mythology heroes but we also got a baddie that is Vlad the impaler type of guy, so we gonna pull in real life serial killers now? Are we gonna see a Jack the ripper type of person.etc?
Now this is a Holy War I can get into. An actual full out war with 14 servants clashing instead of a 7 servant skirmish with poor progression like in FS/N/UBW.

Dude runs a quaint restaurant with quite the magical clientele. I'm down with all this and the food porn was divine.

Wholesome food porn? I only remember 3 food porn Anime shows and 2 of the three were also perverted. This could balance it.

the current arc in the manga is doing better again but the stuff leading up to it is just ugh.
some people will likely be able to tolerate it better, but most people find the story in the arc very poorly done.
Fate/Apocrypha 01
Well it's Fate.
And this time a 7v7 team grail battle. Will likely be fun.
Previous season wrap-up:
SukaSuka 12 (END)
That music at the end wasn't fair. Damn. Otherwise I didn't really feel all that sad at the end, probably more annoyed at the abruptness.
That said, while I didn't like a few things here and there, it was a fun watch.
Now to finish up ID-0 and Kado, and probably catch up with Bahamut.
Blast from the past:
Flippedy Floppedy Flappers 10-13 (END)
Was kind of in the mood to finish this up, so I did.
I didn't actually mind the more serious direction it took, I even liked the flashback quite a bit. I liked how all the worlds played into the finale.
Visually it was a feast for the eyes from the beginning to end, but Cocona and Papika interactions are as fun as watching paper dry after a while.
Still enjoyed it overall quite a bit.

Nice. It's so behind the Toonami airing, so I'm glad they're finally catching up.

yeah just noticed lmao. So much for wholesome, but maybe it won't be the norm?
Isekai Shokudou 1
Seems like it'll be fairly enjoyable but it's hard to tell from one episode alone. If they keep the tone from this episode and the fan service at a minimum, then I'm game. I would prefer it it stayed entirely on the restaurant and not transform into an unnecessary plot of a battle for the restaurant and other bad fantasy anime plots you might expect. If this has a source material and others have read it, I'd appreciate a heads up if it keeps this restaurant setting the whole way through with episodes just revolving around the food and the guests in each episode.

Anyone know if the Genocidal Organ movie is any good?
Oddly enough there's a showing happening in a local cinema in few weeks.

it's really weird that they doubled the episode count and it is the cheapest set on best buy
Yu Yu Hakusho S1, Fairy Tail S1 and DBZ S1 are free on Xbox, W8 and W10.

I was just talking anime with a couple of friends yesterday and one said he has never watched Yu Yu Hakusho. So good timing haha. I'll tell him to watch up to the end of the dark tournament.

well doubling the episode makes sense since its gonna take twice as long for it to come out compared to set 2, the price may be a mistake
Dark Tournament doesn't end until inside of season three. First season is a lot of :zzz: honestly.
