Last two have been really well done. There's also a few prior to the current bunch so probably closer to 5 or 6.
lol
Sounds like MAPPA can really only animate one show at a time. Lol.

Tenshi no Tamago (Angels Egg) is a film directed by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Mobile Police Patlabor) and was released in the year of 1985. This film, although not as renowned as his (Oshiis) other works, Id go as far as to say that its perhaps the most expressive and visually compelling of his portfolio and has garnered somewhat of a reputation of sorts for its stunning artwork (Yoshitaka Amano), and for containing a story that many may at first glance seem to consider non-existent.
Keep precious things inside of you, or you will lose them.
Due to his father being a scumbag, and I'm pretty sure the show is aware of this as
In many ways,
He's very much a flawed protagonist but his flaws are well communicated to the audience so that we understand why he's a mess. His flaws become a strength from a writing standpoint, to the point where I've seen posters hate Alfonso for being so perfect.
His arm is literally on fire.
So what makes this episode so fantastic is that we're finally seeing Leon step forward. His duel with Alfonso is very cathartic in that he's making strides towards becoming the hero that he should be. All of his suffering and anguish is still very much there but he's using it to drive him forward to be a better man.
The end of the episode has Leon back in
Note the emphasis on his sword being cracked and frayed but when he's regained Garo, his sword is renewed.
There was also the conclusion of German's little love tryst and this was also handled really well due to how the characters express their emotions with their body language. There isn't much dialogue in this scene but the characters don't need to.
Also of note is how good the 2nd fight sequence is. Everybody is talking about the duel but the fight with the Horror at the end was also pretty great. I feel like the director actually utilized the CGI to do a lot of fast camerawork that really couldn't be done with traditional animation. Not only that, the CGI armors didn't feel like a complete mess in that it was fairly easy to follow what was going on, unlike some previous episodes, while still moving at a high speed.
I need to catch up on Garo. And G-Reco. And Jojo.
..........
Fuck it. I'll just go watch Kingsman later. Bye!!!!
It's a simple story about a few members from an organization of knights fighting against demons. It mainly focuses on the themes of redemption, duty, revenge, family, and all the other good stuff that comprise an entertaining tale.
The series has an overarching dark tone yes, though it in my opinion it also succeeds in delivering a good helping of light-hearted, comedic scenes as well. There's one great episode where the main character's father is for the duration running throughout the city butt naked and it's awesome.
For those getting EXCITED for Garo because of the animation, don't. Out of like 18 episodes, so far, there are probably like 2-3 episodes with what anyone can say is "good animation". Most of it is really cheap and over half the series is outsourced to South Korea. It's a fun show though!
Oh, sounds good

Man...Paranoia Agent is making me to start liking the director Kon, Satoshi quite a bit and I just finish 2 episodes.
Also....that opening theme...I can't say but I am liking it quite a bit too much right now. So...catchy.
I just can't get enough of sensei faces
So according to a recent magazine thing, the tone of Sound! Euphonium is going to be less "easygoing daily life" and more "passionate sports drama."
This won't affect how I personally view it, because passionate sports dramas can still be moe. Like Bamboo Blade or Taisho Baseball Girls.
This actually has me a little more interested it. That and the instruments being hand drawn.So according to a recent magazine thing, the tone of Sound! Euphonium is going to be less "easygoing daily life" and more "passionate sports drama."

Look guys I know you can't make out any Russian besides "Spasiba" and "Da" but you could at least...try?

It can be a passionate sports drama without being "turgid melodrama" can't it?It has me less interested in the series. I'd much rather have pleasant slice-of-life over turgid melodrama.
But hopefully it'll will turn out OK.

Just glancing at Hanada's track record doesn't instill confidence. There are some series in there I enjoyed (Princess Jellyfish, Level-E) but they had more of a comedy tilt. Yeah, it might have been better if it were born a slice-of-life, haha.Sure, but this is Tatsuya Ishihara and Jukki Hanada we're talking about here. My hope is that Yamada will rein them in, but if the material goes the way of being super-dramatic, that's less likely to happen.
I think the majority of anime that attempts very serious drama tends to fall on its face. I think its natural for the community to be gun shy about it.Anime's a medium of heightened emotions in general. Heightened comedy and heightened action usually get positive responses, but what makes heightened drama different, or at least harder to achieve? I know the line between drama and melodrama is different for each person, but not all drama is melodrama, though fandom discourse seems to lean that way at times.
the eye design is really distinctive and roughly similar to Unbreakable Machine Dolls which made it stand out. I havent watched the show but there only seems to be DVD available.
Do yall think I should wait for a bluray or will it always be just DVD here?
HNNNNNNNNNNNNG
This is like TOLoveRU Darkness levels of lewd. Well ok not quite but its pushing it.
I don't know how to feel about this.
Nice cameo from the journalist in the previous anime
I'm always overwhelmed with the amount of choices there are for anime (and the amount of content here in the OP). But I know what I have liked in the past and am hoping some helpful gaffers could lead me in the right direction by listing the animes I really like.

In no particular order:
bleach
cowboy beebop
samurai champloo
attack on titan
naruto
one piece
dbz etc.
accel world
SAO
knights of sidonia
psycho pass
fairy tale
devil part timer
deathnote
gundam (and a bunch of other mech series)
I have a wide palette (I think) for anime.
Any advice would be appreciated (probably checking out fate zero next).
My main source of anime is hulu and netflix, but I'm not above getting something like crunchyroll for more.
