Holy shit.
At least a shounen TV series worth watching.
Need Karakuri Circus and Moonlight Act anime too.
Probably a little bit of everything lol. Looking at some videos of her from 2001-ish, she still looks pretty much the same.

welp I'm not even sure I want to see them now
This is the first time I've seen the subtitle for the 3rd persona 3 movie. Amazing.
Doesn't work as well over here but I'm willing to overlook them using the wrong name for the sake of puns.
Sounds like something straight out of North Korea.Probably a little bit of everything lol. Looking at some videos of her from 2001-ish, she still looks pretty much the same.

So yeah, all legacy roles.
Kaitou Joker's first season was like last fall, she's part of the main crew, Gundam Origin is a new, though minor role. She has 4 roles for Spring already none of them supporting, she doesn't exactly have to push hard for work.... she's already established and she's still getting more work than 99% of her peers.....
Not all the Spring shows have been finalized in casting yet either....
Seen the first four episodes of season 3 Kuroko No Basket.
This has so far been the worst season imo. I mean I know it's not supposed to be realistic basketball and all that but the BS is now really getting to me.
Especially
It's still an entertaining show but the flaws, loopholes and plot holes are really starting to show. And there is only so much BS I can handle. I feel like the powers are now just power creeping. And I heard from someone that read the manga that apparantly Midorima will eventually show an ability that is apparently ridiculous. What in the would could possibly be more absurd than a guy who can shoot the ball consistently from full court?! 0_0
Peso me of the scenes are still pretty funny though.

Especially
in episode 2 when we find out the guy's power is to steal other player's skills and make me his own. Was also able to do it to Kise but for some reason he says he can't do it on the GoMs when he clearly did it against Kise...who is a GoMs.
But that's not what bothered me the most. What bothered me was why the hell didn't Kise just copy Haizki (I know I spelled that wrong) stolen abilities? He can clearly do it and was always able to. This to me made no sense at all.
Lastly, near the end of episode 4, one of the uncrowned kings guy is somehow able to dribble the ball really fast and really loud. The crowd was covering their ears while the defender was only concerned about how he couldn't see the ball. Shouldn't it be the other way around? What kind of logic is that? XD

Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon R: Episode 78:
So after the huge slice of processed cheese that was last episode it is once again time to show case the comedic side of Sailor Moon and indeed it is a truly rarefied episode as Minako gets the spotlight for the first time since they closed the book on her past with Sailor Jupiter and whom they kept together as a odd sort of second tier comedy tag team that really didn't go anywhere. So it is time to give her another repackaging and this one if I recall correctly sticks around for awhile as Minako has been recast to basically be Usagi but more earnest and nobody hates her. Indeed, they kind of had to ramp up the ditz factor since Usagi plays to the same gimmick. Still, it is the first real amount of personality she has had for ages now. Anyway, the episode in question was alright, mind recommendation to watch and harmless fun.

While that EP marks start of the episodes that are the pinnacle of Nanona in general, I'd argue that she was badass way before. Her concluding duel with Fate in the first season had plenty of badass in it.
This particular episode is, however, one half of the equation that earned Nanoha the fan nickname of "White Devil" in imitation of the original Gundam. The latter part comes up in StrikerS
Forever feeling the excitement of getting served while underage.

They confirmed that the studio and staff will be the same as the first season 2 weeks ago, so that's good at least.

Unless it's this old lady of course:
Yukari Tamura, age 38. Will be 39 this month.
Large ears - wouldn't bang.
Death Parade - 04
I know it's possible to empathize with characters strongly in only a few minutes, but this show's writing simply isn't strong enough for that. Honestly, I think all episodes so far bored me and unless ep5 manages to entertain me with the 'death realm's' other characters I'll drop it.
Rolling Girls - 04
Well, my hopes for this were thrown out of the window. The actual plot these last 2 episodes was so unfathomably bad and relied upon characters messing up in the most stupid of ways ("whoops, I just dropped this oh so very fucking important stone a minute after obtaining it because I run like a moron and can't put it away savely!") and it doesn't even get compensated with cool animation (10s of it don't count). Yeh, episode 2 upheld the animation quality well enough but the drop off since then is a steep one.
Apparently our fears concerning the writer were justified as the overall writing is simply dogshit. The last segment where they just so happen to realize that everyone totally loves the same band was about as forced as it gets.
One more episode, if it doesn't deliver I'm out. This winter season is a travesty.
I would say the quality average has definitely gotten worse. There's always been garbage but the past five years there hasn't been any real standout other than GBF. Compare that to the 2000-2005 period or 2005-2010 period and it shows how grim the field has been. Add on to the fact that if you don't like CGI mechs then it gets even worse.
A bit of old news but I'm excited so I thought that I'd post it. The Evangelion Blu-ray box-sets will be available on Friday August 26th. That's right, boxsets. Two sets will be available, a Bluray boxset that will go for 38,000 Yen while a DVD boxset will be sold for 18,000 Yen. Overall the Bluray set has around 900 minutes of content with extras on 9 discs while the DVD set will have around 850 minutes with extras on 8 discs. A new HD telecine is being used.

Oops
I would be annoyed about the lack of English subs if the boxset wasn't that cheap.
Yeah I was looking at the CDJapan info and it seems that it'll have no subs or dubs. Still, might as well get an order in and see how it goes. No doubt I'll double and even triple dip when it comes to the UK and US one day. I always said I'd pay over $100 for EoE on Blu-ray alone, well here I am.
I usually don't go for exclusive editions, as the OG is usually the more pure of the two if that makes sense, but at the same time the Amazon Exclusive might be more Limited (as was the case with the Amazon.co.jp Exclusive Bebop set) so I thought it would be wise to get an order in for that first.

I don't think there's a larger failure rate than your average season. Certainly not than last season. After all, it's far, far more likely for an anime series to fail to live up to its potential than for it to match, let alone exceed it.

Karakuri Circus anime wouldn't work without a commitment to go the full-length of the story. That series practically has no filler when it comes down to the pay-offs of every character's involvement.
Ikuhara Lesbian Bears, Chiaki Omigawa in a new role, a third season of Dog Days, glorious Dio-sama, SHAFT making a comfy show about cute girls eating food, a good second-half of Shirobako, #slainedidnothingwrong, Umetsu OP with a Maaya Sakamoto x Rasmus Faber OP song, and at least 5 battle-harems?
Yeah, it's a great season for me. Easily the best in a long time.
