I'd agree, but I'm not really holding my breath.
The five series I listed have been streamed at Crunchyroll, so there are at least some viewing numbers that could be considered. I know a few other series on that FUNimation survey link were streamed too during their respective simulcast seasons.

Something terrible is going to happen
(again). Uroko sama's face and the whole Sea God getting mad again doesnt bode well.
HGGGGGNNNNNNNN

Anyone else watching Noragami? It's pretty good
Yeah, most of GAF agrees. I only fear the story getting stuck later or the original ending for the anime.

Ok this episode wasn't so bad. I mean it's hard to make an episode bad when
. Looks like the bromance with Gin-chan is back again for at the very least this next arc. Which is good as the bromance was the best part of the show.
Outside of Mister Justice.

After the exposition fest of last week, there was some idea of what to expect from the festival. This shows knows how to do spectacle extremely well, even while putting in little comedy bits, like everything involving Mako's family. Her dad's insistence on going for the food and Mataro's body paint (I wonder if he'll be a wrench in the works later on) were great gags.
Ragyo looks almost like a Broadway Disney villainess from the way she struts about, and seeing her in action is just... damn. The show's pulling out all the stops. The rainbow-colored stops.

But damn, that ending. Matricide. Satsuki and Ryuko really are more alike than they think. They've been on the same side the whole time.
I assume that's a good "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT"?

I mean people saw it coming, but I didn't expect it to happen this way.

This is how you make something predictable still sell well to the audience. How liberating

Fresh Precure! 6
Erasing beefburgers from existence? YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME, LABYRINTH. (also parents or whatever)
You know, I think this is the first Precure series I've seen where the villains aren't trying to steal something that the Cures possess. As a result, they're actually allowed to come across as somewhat competent, because even if the Cures defeat them in the end, they still succeed in their goal of collecting more negative emotions from the general population for their Misery Gauge. I think that gauge must have got a pretty massive boost this time...
Oh, also, we have a trinity of villains called Eas, Wester and Souler. Something tells me there's a North component missing from this picture.

Incredible plot twist!!! nope. All as it was predicted, even when we barely knew about the story.

Like the TV series, it's not, just really really close to it.
Z/X Ignition 05
An episode focused around the one person not involved in the war is a good perspective to take, and most of the birthday proceedings were what I'd expect from an anime. Rigel continues to be cute and tsundere, and it even looked like it was going to get a happy ending, even with all that went on.
Then Aina turned evil and oh boy this is not going to end well.
Though I am looking forward to next week. Chitose focus episode, and that means more Maaya!

Great ep. I felt the first 4 eps of this season was pretty weak but this was great. LOL @ being able to look hot whenever she feels like it.

You guys are really getting me hyped for Silver Spoon.

Silver Spoon manga is pretty amazing yes. And informative as a motherfucker.
I don't think the anime will catch up with the manga, but I wouldn't mind watching it once both seasons are finished. Until then I'll stick with manga.

Pretty damn good episode. The hobo was awesome and is among what I consider top tier characters alongside Moe and Mister Justice. i think this ongoing arc is going to return to how the show originally was except I think there is going to be something crazy near the end

Yeah this episode was too down to earth and nothing crazy happened. You never know what to expect with this show...

An episode of two halves, and both halves were great. In the first half, we finally got some long-awaited focus on Mari and some resolution to the issues she's been bottling up. Moe continues to be the bestest girl imaginable.
And then in the second half, we got to see how Masayoshi is faring after the shocking turns and revelations of the previous episode. Seems like he's taken it all pretty hard, but after some welcome advice and reassurance from an unlikely but remarkably appropriate source, it looks like now

Wonderful though their making-up scene was, mind, I couldn't stop thinking "that kiss is going to taste like vomit. SHINY vomit." >.>

he's doing exactly what I hoped he would, and turning to his best bro in the world for help. Some more Gotou is exactly what this show needs, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes forward from here!

Kill la Kill Episode 17:
So we have reached another grand culmination of events. As some have been predicting Satsuki has finally turned against Ragyo's domination and rejected her values and it was magnificent. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment as we see this is the 2013 ATOY Silver medalist.

Great episode. These past few episodes have been fantastic as they feature little ghost banri. Some highlights:
So yeah a good episode, no ghost banri in sight, 2d-kun and character development. What more can a fan ask for?
Great episode. These past few episodes have been fantastic as they feature little ghost banri. Some highlights:
- First we had Koko and Banri being, with no other words to describe it, adorable as a couple. Supporting each other and finally being honest about the past and Linda and finally letting it out in the open, which removes all of the tension.
- Mitsuo acting a bit bratty with Linda and Koko, apparently cause he didn't know that Linda and Banri had a past and that Banri was hospitalized. Also his attempt at awkward playfulness makes it obvious he has a thing for Linda, but at least at this point Linda obviously still has something for Banri.
- Kaga and moe-chan had a little bit of bonding time. Funny how Koko is only tsundere with her.
- 2D-kun continues to be amazing, ultimate friend and bro. There should be a whole show based off him.
- Looks like next episode we have some comedy and at least one serious Linda scene. Let's hope she doesn't try to get close with Banri again as Banri has finally cleaned off a lot of his emotional baggage with the situation. Stop confusing him Linda, just let KokoxBanri continue how it's meant to be.

Yea, just a note, Season 2 was not straying TOO far from the magical girl genre, StrikerS looks like another show produced on another planet.
