Honestly, I'm speechless. Picked this up just because I wanted something manly and to find out why it's so loved.
What I found is one of my favorite shows of all time. I now know why everyone was mad about them making Neptunia instead of more JoJo.
I can not wait.
Next I'll try to finish up Spice and Wolf S2 and then proceed to Texhnolyze.

Oh, this is the one with the girl blushing hard at another girl. And weapons made from historical figures.
Nobunaga the Fool is the anime with Nobunaga piloting a giant CG mech. Nobunagun is the anime with Nobunaga as a giant gun used by a highschool girl.
Well, I did like Tokyo Ravens (after it stopped trying to be an action show) and Kyoukai no Kanata last season, so some people might say I have horrible taste.

I guess I should watch Valvrave soon.
If you're suffering that badly then I suggest you immediately stop looking at Tumblr gifs.

Tonari no seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time Episode 1
Alright start. Wish we had heard seki speak but otherwise it did help to turn my frown somewhat upwards a bit. Ending to the episode was a bit lacking, but I did like how he quickly put them away.

While the change made to the Honey dialogue that Bahi JD talked about is obviously important, I've got to say that I prefer the dub overall. The Japanese is better as far as voices go, and accuracy to the original script obviously, but the English script has a lot more jokes, and better humor overall, I think.

looks like one of dakkumaiji's digimon screens
Yeah, I liked the extra jokes the dub added, especially "I can't read circle!". While I like JP Dandy a little more, I thought EN Dandy had some moments that were better than the Japanese. Especially his casual "Got it" when he grabs the string.

Ahhhhh I'm so happy it's finally here! Seing Saki and the gang not to mention the crew from Side-A got me so pumped! Not to mention getting brief glimpses of a ton of new characters that they'll face as they make their way to the finals. But the creme de la creme was none other than MOTHERFUCKIN STEALTH MOMOOOOOOO~!
And is it me or did her breasts become huge? Or maybe I was just too busy gushing over her fluff moments with Kajiki back in the past? I don't know! I don't care! Saki is back! Yaaaaaaaaaay!
Welcome back, to the stage of history.

I'm really liking this. Sure, the production isn't exceptional or anything, but it's solid enough with some nice touches here and there. The characters are charming, especially Hachiken, which is good as he's our viewpoint character into this foreign world of agriculture. The farming subjects being covered are interesting to me, and it's making me think about where my food comes from and the work that has to be done to provide it for me. It's a different perspective on animals than I'm used to. The pizza episode was really good, both in showing Hachiken beginning to grow as a person and in showing the many different fields that have to come together to produce something I take for granted.
I'm glad to see that noitaminA is still occasionally producing shows that are deserving of the brand's original intent.

I'm not ballsy enough to do it with raw egg, but I tried it with cooked egg and it was great.

Is this something you can do with rice from any rice cooker? I've seen my parents cook rice over the stove before, but a rice cooker is just so convenient.

Ughhh had to leave in the middle of watching Yamato 20, so painful. Really glad I stuck with this show.
Don't forget the part where
Davinci showed up with a tuba to take Jeanne Kaguya D'arc onto Magellan's spaceship and then randomly betray him.
i guess if you don't mind washing the rice bowl thingy.
Personally I just steam yams in there.

Oh, I don't think I could ever forget that. XD
But still, even with all the weird stuff, it boils down to a giant robot show. I get that. And it's still better than most of the other new shows I watched so far.
Greatest scene in the show.
I do it after the rice is done cooking and I scoop it into my bowl.
Ah okay, that's good. I was just worried that the rice wouldn't be hot enough or something.
Lol I kinda want to try steaming yams now. I've only used my rice cooker for cooking rice.

Hey that was pretty fun for a little short burst. ED is really enjoyable
Seitokai Yakuindomo 2 - 01
Same cast, same jokes, same fun. The judo fight was pretty incredible but there was a couple of moments of some really iffy looking CG in places. I like that they've continued with the recurring squid joke.
Space Dandy - 01
Pretty second half but kinda dull. Dandy feels a bit wishy-washy as a character and the impression at the start that the universe now essentially revolves around tits is a bit stupid. Some fantastically varied alien designs though.

Ditz is the Commander of Astrofleets. He's the bald guy with the moustachebeard.

Was re-watching gosick and saw this:
Please become an anime in a few years. Please biased god. I'll bring offerings

The Youtube clips of it are pretty funny. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if I've been spoiled on most of the funniest scenes because of that though. :<
tempest has first seven episodes or so where it's good, whereas diary is just junk, so...
should just go watch yamato though

Saki S2
FUCK YES IT'S BACK
AND SO MUCH GODDAMN HYPE
I was giggling throughout that entire scene. If this aired like 6 days earlier, I probably would make Saki my #1 based simply on this moment. lol
When you think about it, this is a moment that really only works on television. It's like when someone from Buffy shows up on Angel or when Thomas Riker shows up on Deep Space Nine or countless other numbers of franchise crossovers that only work because television shows are long running enough to build up the narrative weight of having multiple characters and multiple shows conspiring to meet up in the most calculated and contrived manner possible.
Marvel tried it with Agents of Poop, but this five second scene - WHICH HAPPENED FROM THE OTHER PERSPECTIVE IN Saki Side-A - embodies that amazing Franchise Connectedness Moment so perfectly.
Of course, I'm also the nerd who likes television and television-specific gimmicks, so I suppose it's not a surprise that I loved this. But I marked out so hard when it happened. They certainly didn't need to do it - since they showed all the Side-A characters earlier - but the fact that they did makes me so happy. I was already hype when they played the Saki hype theme near the beginning of the episode, but they trumped that so quickly!
That said, it is funny that the whole sister vs sister thing is pretty ridiculous when you consider than Girls und Panzer did in 12 episodes what Saki will need at least 100 episodes and two spinoffs to achieve. Hell, I *think* they even hint at the new spinoff during a random scene in this episode. lol
Also, a random Kobayashi appears!
I totally forgot that she was in this again... and between Gintama, Seitokai Yakuindomo, and now Saki, it's clear that Kobayashi has pretty much been put out to the seiyuu glue factory/stud farm/other strained metaphor involving farm animals. She seems to only get trotted out to do work for legacy characters now which is too bad.

Honestly the only reason I would want another Horizon season is to have Miyukichi and KobaYuu in the same show again.

Looks like she's a bit character on that, so I probably don't need to watch it? lol

Nobunaga The Fool Episode 1
Pretty thrilling start if a bit bordering on being a bit overly ambitious with what this episode was trying to do. Ill most likely rewatch it before starting episode 2 next week just to retake in everything and be more adept and receptive to the plot as it launches forward now that lots of the characters had their lines and pinning their hopes on various entities be it the voice for Jeanne, or Nobu, Mitsuhide, and Hideyoshi changing the world, and more. The music and the way it was done also made it feel like some grande opening to an epic quest of large proportions only seen extensively in modern role playing games of sorts. I wouldnt mind playing one based on this property..hopefully.
Character designs seemed inspired from Hiiro no Kakera and Hakuoki which is good if that is the original person who created them, second favorite behind the character designer for Uta no Prince Sama characters.
At least of the three winter anime Ive seen thus far, this and Future Card Buddyfight are really making this season seem like its better than most winters and is off to a great start.
