Unintentionally, yes.
Princess Principal ep 1
This show.... I like this show.
Steampunk City that has magical valkyria chronicles stones with Yuki Kajiura sick jazzy music crammed with spy girls handling guns, swords and gravity rush devices? Count me the fuck in on this ride, take me to the end even if it's a wreck Okouchi.
With this kind of many settings crammed in usually spells diaster but the first episode is entertaining with the main girl out of the 5 is such a anti hero because duh she is a spy.
I can't help but to compare it to valkyria chronicles because of the magical stones which is couverite which I feel it's gonna play a big part in the series due to it being a easy plot device but it's very subdued in the beginning due to the focus of the characters profession and the situation.
If these stones already grant powers and we saw a girl being poisoned with the stones how long more until we get a character imbuled with these stone's power like a Valkyria?

Still waiting on Crunchy with Symphogear news=/
Destined to be one of the best of this season.
I've wondered this a lot, but if it was, I'd think they'd spend less time on tedious exposition.
Then again, episode 13...
Isekai Shokudou: 2
Comfy first half, just straight up enjoying the food. Kinda zoned out a bit when Gintoki started talking though. ED sounds nice.
Little Witch Academia: 19-21
Good Diana development. Nice moment Ursula had with Akko, also seemed like it was a good chance to tell her everything but guess nah. Also good bit of backstory.

A bit annoyed I might have to force myself to resub to Animelab for it. Not sure I can deal with watching it delayed a week.
Princess Principal - 01
Went in expecting moe trash because of the character designs, ended up coming out getting those expectations blown the fuck out of the water with a decent show that I really look forward to seeing more of.

The whole play on how she lies as she says "No." while shooting him to death was awesome.
Restaurant Isekai 2
This is like the soft core foodporn opening act for when Food Wars goes all hardcore next season.
Cleanliness Boy 2
So in this episode Aoyama not only gets a slightly yandere, slightly stalkerish girl to be the soccer club manager but it is also revealed he's basically got a school-wide harem going on.

Symphogear AXZ 2
It was a nice watch up until the last 30 seconds, when Hibiki turned up and shot that awesome comeback and the episode rose up in awesomeness ranks.
Now I'm hyped for what's gonna happen next.
Kakegurui 1
Gambling isn't my thing but I enjoyed watching this, mostly because I like crazy girls with psychotic red eyes out of the blue.

Oshii the master.
You know that "I was only PRETENDING to be retarded" comic meme? I think Re:Creators 1-12 is the first two panels. And 13 is the last panel.
If nothing else the director (Masaki Tachibana) did work on storyboarding for GITS: SAC back in the day. I guess that counts as...indirect influence? Either way, at least it looks nice enough from the screens people are posting.
Made in Abyss.

I dunno, there's still this 'cute girls' layer applied to this anime that takes away from the setting and tone it seems to go for.

I would ask if Princess Principal is good or not, but given the comments I'm reading, I think as answer you will just say: 'anime'.

Yokai Apartment 2 - Yeah. Am liking this, even if its a Natsume wannabe. Some interesting little developments, which may show us where the show is going.
Restaurant to Another World 2 - Losing my interest a bit. I think I need more than random person is picked up by the restaurant and cool food is had.
Centaurs Life 1 - Good. Will watch more. Best new show I've seen so far.

Who here is hopping back onto the hot dudes train with Saiyuki Reload Blast?!
With an OP and ED so catchy you could fap to it!

But that's the hook because if it was a bunch of grim dudes it would just be spy show #1823.
Serious guy spies had their chance. They got rekt'd by bad writing and boring direction.
Princess Principal would probably be more exciting if the action was anything worthwhile. Instead there's no impact or reaction shots because the show just barrels forward relentlessly. This happens over and over again and it winds up feeling like the show doesn't have much punch, or that details are lost with the lousy storyboarding. Other detail loss comes from the poor use of color, which is especially notable in the muted scene in the garden where none of the flowers look right.
The pace of the first episode kept things from being boring but the clues it presents are highlighted so poorly that they might as well be imperceptible, partially because the show never really slows enough to let anything on a smaller scale really stand out. The sound direction is also pretty bad so the already underwhelming jazz is mixed in such a way that it has no presence, and the sound effects work is a total thud too.

I wrote way too much agreeing with this sentiment and then saw the subsequent posts requesting we not fall down this rabbit hole so great job on the modding, way too many other places exist for that kind of appreciation and I'm very glad NeoGAF is not one of them.
Ooooo didn't know about these and miracle of miracles they stream to Ireland! My God they even have a back catalogue that streams! <collapses fanning himself> I'll pay as apps don't really matter to me (I have a PC hooked up to the TV) and I want to encourage streaming services that are not terrible, looking at you FuniNow.
**Edit**
Or maybe I won't because I don't have a f-ing US post code associated with my c/c, seriously how can you get the hard part right (streaming to Ireland) but fuck up so hard on the easy bit (taking my money)

So HIDIVE is almost certainly yet another Sentai initiative pretending not to be associated directly right?
Dammit Sentai is a US licensee aren't they? Which means they're not going to help me sign up as a non-US person. Ugh just throw a fecking PayPal link on there so I can sign up and we can both pretend I lied to you Sentai and said I was a Yankee too
You mean they aren't rounded up and melted down for PVC figurines?
You should message them about it so I can subscribe properly when the get their act together with apps.

Well ahead of you, I'll update if they come back with a fix. Annoyingly there is no mention of non-US customers not being welcome anywhere and this bit from their Help Center, "Non-US customers should confirm with their financial institution that their card is enabled for international purchases", that strongly implies I should be able to sub so I'm guessing this is just another example of a web designer that presumes post codes work the same way everywhere as they do there.Admiral Woofington

I'm just disappointed princess principal isn't a 90s Mary Kate and Ashley movie where two girls become the principals at their school and also they are twin princesses.

16 year old Yaichi Kuzuryuu, the strongest champion in the history of the Shogi, the ‘Ryuuou', is stuck at home when he was visited by the 9 year old girl Ai Hinazuru. For what purpose is she aiming to be his ‘disciple'?? Furthermore, for some strange reasons, they're living together!!
Is this in the Imouto Cinematic Universe, or some knock-off?

Besides Crunchyroll, Amazon (through Anime Strike in the US or general Prime Video elsewhere) and Netflix are the major streaming services.
