Yep, after pretty much every EP. I also am pretty sure at least half of the episodes were created while the staff was heavily drugged. I can't explain some of the crazyness I have seen otherwise.
This show is ass. I'm going to bed.

Sengoku Musou: Samurai Warriors Episode 1
This episode jumps all over the place, made it a little hard to follow, even after watching the OVA that came with my PS4 SW4.
Animation is decent, the girls like Ina-hime, Kunoichi, Kai and especially Nene are all gorgeous.
Music is something that stands out, just as it does in the game. Hell of an opening, and a super traditional Japanese ED theme. Will continue watching.

Yeah.
Japn Film Festival is running again in the UK this year.
The two animated films are Short Peace and A Letter to Momo. Is either one recommended?

Haikyuu!! - 07
The show does a pretty fantastic job of making these little individual moments really endearing. Like going from the last episode and the introduction of the real setter on the opposing team you'd expect the focus to be pretty much entirely on Kageyama's senpai and their relationship. Instead though it takes the time to loop back to the dude's former teammate from middle school and solidify both their on going rivalry and the tangible shift in attitude that Kageyama's had in the last few episodes. It's definitely a nice touch and, so far at least, I almost feel like there isn't much in the way of side characters in this narrative, they all seem to have a role to play in the greater development of the team as actual people in this show.

I like Momo, though it's a little uneventful in terms of it's narrative, and has about seventeen fake-out endings. Has wonderful character animation.
Short Peace has the same problems as a lot of these anthology movies - there's a couple of really great instalments in there, and a couple which are rather less so. It's heavy on CG and digital animation techniques, though, so if that stuff bugs you, maybe give it a miss.

People are actually buying those?
I can at least watch the DVDs while i'm at work. I always feel compelled to primarily buy BDs though.

Moyashimon and Moyashimon Returns
Watching this gave me a warm happy feeling inside. Also don't get why Returns was seen as weaker.
And then I read there was no chance of a third season...............

South Koreans don't make anime! Koreamie, maybe.
Oh I know. I'm just saying why I get them even though they're bad.
And I definitely know they're bad.

Hah, I knew someone would pinch in that.
It seems the typical coming of age/teenage romance story. It had good critical reception when it was released but commercially it was a flop.

Log Horizon Season 2 Ep. 8-present
My wife could not stop laughing when I reminded her the one guy's name is "William Massachusetts" and she didn't seem terribly impressed by an entire episode dedicated to proving that raid leaders are huge nerds with no friends. But I'm glad we're back on the Junior Team because interestingly enough, in a series full of mostly older characters' doing political shit, the younger kids are actually pretty well rounded and interesting.
(Although if Akatsuki's super self-conscious about being super little, why didn't she just make herself not little? She probably would have gotten used to it, although in retrospect, I suppose she probably wasn't aware it was a long term problem)

Oh yeah, I forgot about those.
I really don't think it's the sort of show that deserves a second chance from what I've seen. If you didn't stick with it, it was probably for good reason and just because someone sees something interesting in it, it does't mean it's worth gambling time if you had things you'd rather watch or do, ~chu.
Sako and Galil arrive next ep to save the show, ~chu.

This is.. watchable. But not by a lot, mind you. The most interesting part is the pure exercise of how the story is pieced together by different characters having a part here and there and the time jumping back and forth, but I'm not a fan of the story or the characters themselves.
Also, what's the deal with he proportions here
Yuri Kuma 4
Finally, a good episode. One which explains stuff, and that it has a more or less normal story (with nice comedic timing, btw) with understandable elements of love and regret. Thanks god, because if I would had another ep like the first three I would have dropped it.
Maria the Virgin Witch 3
I think this improved a bit in the third episode, I didn't laugh but at least I smiled more with the jokes, the plot has complicated with Michael's "curse" and the old god? observation was interesting.

I hope there will always be at least one happy soulfood show per season. It has been a great run lately.
It doesnt matter. Any copy of NNB is good!
You cant lose!
Mikey Mikey....
We will just have to disagree on this one.
Really I think this is more a damnation of writing in modern mecha anime in that a prison exploitation work filled with lesbian fanservice has better character work than almost every mecha anime in the last five to six years.
Turin Turambar

Mmm yeah, the panorama of the last years is pretty grim.
Also let's be honest, they forgot their own "prison exploitation" setting after the first two episodes or three episodes. After that they showed they have shopping malls and festivals and it seems they can go whatever they want in the island and have decent rooms, there is barely any prison guards... it's more a living place/resort for pilot fighters than normal prison. The "prison" concept comes in that it isn't voluntary, they are obligated to be pilot fighters (or mechanics, or whatever).

Honestly I watch Cross Ange through the same lens I view Shinmai Maou no Testament with: I find the show entertaining but recognize it as a trash anime that I wouldn't recommend to anyone and don't particularly think is good.

I feel like I should mention that Yuji Kanenko is part of Trigger and is the background art director for both LWA and KLK. So in short, one of the few good things about KLK. Super talented.
Im not sure but maybe Aniplex? you can hate on them for driving prices skyward.
Well its a prototype that popularized the ideas I guess you could say. Not necessarily the first to do some things.
That teacher. I just want to watch it for her.
There is really no way that she can be a bad character.
After watching this week's Lezzy Grizzlies I felt like drawing this:
I probably should buy a tablet instead of using the pen tool all the time
jolly good drawing ol chap
You guys are really giving me more reasons to watch this.
I just watched some of it. She doesnt even say au~.
At least she goes high pitched squeaky when Yuuta is picking on her but its not the right voice. I see what they were trying to do but it doesnt quite work. Stick to the japanese voices.
Happiness Charge Precure: END
I'm conflicted with HapCha. On one hand, it has a pretty good cast of characters and the action is fairly good this season when not using their CG special attack forms. On the other hand, it feels like a lot of squandered potential. This show could have been near the top of the Precure tier, and yet it ends up, in my opinion, falling somewhere towards the middle.
Even realizing that it was a heavy part of the plot, the love angles really harmed the show, at least in my eyes. I sincerly hope that is one topic that Precure decides to avoid for a while, now that they've hopefully gotten it out of their systems.
But enough about little girl cartoons. As far as HapCha is concerned, I would say it is a "take it or leave it" type of show. Not a must watch, but not one to be avoided at all costs.

Girl Friend Beta 06
She's treating senpai like a friend? The nerve!
So it turns into a quest for the younger girls to make up with the older girls and everything gets solved with food.

I didn't have the opportunity of watching the work... although I certainly remember it receiving very high praise from Hiroyuki Yamaga, thing which made me eager to check it out sooner or later.
This topic also gives me flash-backs of all the implied information and rumours about another Korean production he professed love for, Wonderful Days, rumours that talked about GAiNAX & Mr. Yamaga involved at the time in more than a simple distribution deal for Japan (this thing became a reality in the end); an outright adaptation produced by them we never saw coming to fruition.

Still dealing with the aftermath of SHOUJO DRAMA, I wish Kukai was part of the main cast still. He's more effective than Yaya, admittingly she's becoming more useful with the battles as a team mate for Rima.
And given that we're developing Tadase and Amu's relationship, Rima and Yaya become even more like support characters, granted Rima at least had the benefit of character development that is noticable.
