Okay good, I still have time to pen mine.

Heavy Object ep.15
Uh-oh, looks like Quenthar screwed up and she's ready to rumble. I'm still not sure how he broke into
but that ojo-Sama laugh is annoying as hell. Hope he gets his because like McGiverx there is always a way, lol.
Oh and dat dirty Major.

Bakemonogatari End
Marathoned the hell out of the rest of this after work, so good.
Obviously lttp but the show is dripping with style. Usually im wary of SHAFT but here everything they do just works.
I can't think of a single character I didn't like. Highlights being Araragi himself, Kanbaru and Hachikuji. Kanbaru was just the best bro-chick ever and I think I enjoyed her friendship with Araragi the most as there was no real romantic undertones for the most part and the interplay between them was so much fun. Plus the BL stuff put her over the top.
Episode 12 was the high point, really beautiful transition into the ending, and I was surprised how invested I got in Senjogahara and Araragi's relationship. Like I wrote it off as a harem romance that probably wouldn't go too far but no it actually had some nice depth to it. I've seen some gifs of future events that...make me raise my eyebrow as to how faithful Araragi is but ill cross that bridge when I get to it.
So yep loved it. Id assume Shinobu's arc is next. Going forward I could guess where some problems might arise. 1, Character overload, if it continues to add more characters every arc then obviously not all of them will be hits and others will get neglected. 2, longer arcs. Like its hard to not like a character when you only focus on them for 1 or 2 episodes. If they have to carry 11 or 12...I dunno maybe it would work..
P.S. What the hell with that white car constantly showing up? If that isn't something...SHAFT better not be trolling.

Wow Master Protection from the Inverse Omni Lord had one of the most annoying abilities in the whole game especially when it crossnize...
At least Tasuku Ryuenji is epic incarnate.

Rakugo 03
Really like the OP, very jazzy. The ED is quite good as well. Oh and I liked this episode a lot. Much more character driven, with less lengthy Rakugo. Hoping for more episodes like this one. Rakugo is fun and all, but I feel like maybe because I don't understand the language it isn't as good as it would be to someone who can understand what they are saying.

Assassination Classroom S2 - 3
Good episode, though not as funny as last week's episode. Also does anyone know if this season will wrap up the series since the manga seems to be concluding soon too? I might be able to hold off reading the last few chapters if that's the case.
Shirobako - 22
This scene slayed me. I was thinking the second half of the show didn't quite gel with me like the first half but recent episodes have really picked up. Also Sugie is like the lifeblood for the production company ha.

I think theyd have to do some rushing if they wanted to put two semesters into this season to close of the series. I think its unlikely.
I think we wouldnt really know until they get halfway through.
That scene almost justified the inclusion of that garbage tier character.Assassination Classroom S2 - 3

Annoying gimmick. I don't particularly dislike her but I can totally see why people do.

She's like the worst example of the things I dislike about Shirobako. I really like the show but it's like they weren't confident the show would be interesting enough with it's premise, so they needed to put in these dumb "cute" anime tropes that don't fit in at all. I didn't like the main character designs, but dumb moe girl's entire character is trash. Nobody would hire someone like that!
Honestly I thought she was mute at first but in the end she's their to give Ema some more lines. Surprised she hasn't tried to kill Miyamori if a casual conversation between Ema and Mii can set her off heh.
Overall though I'm not sure I'm feeling the new additions to the team compared to the first half, Honda and Kinoshita interactions were great and neither Sato or Ando have really done much for me to like/dislike them. At least Hiraoka gets more interesting later on but overall, it's not as enjoyable for me in the second half.
Oh right, hm, I might hold of then. I'd rather watch the conclusion then read it since I got into the anime first.

Also poor Shizuka always getting screwed over :<

I didn't mind her, but her whole gimmick is that she's so shy she can barely talk and needs someone to decipher her mumbles. Could easily annoy some people.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu 2
My God is the character animation really good. I'm in love with the show and how expressive it is. The characters are full of personality and really add to the show. I loved how the episode delved into the past and showed the differences between the two. Seriously Deen is on a roll.
I honestly can't decide between this or Erased on which is the better show.

Droppin Rakugo. It's a well made show but I can't find the appreciation for Rakugo to keep me interested.

I felt the same after the first episode, I can see why others would like it though.
Its kind of unfortunate. Shows being too unusual to the point they cant really catch an audience, whilst everyone gripes about anime being too samey. That happened to me with Aku no Hana. I recognised its qualities, but just wasn't for me.
I kind expect this to crater as badly. Unless there really is a thing for Rakugo in the Japanese otaku audience.

This Podcast is too long and everytime DigiBro makes a comment I can feel myself losing my brain cells.
But there is a part around 43:00 where someone calls him a "fucking idiot" and that they were going to "strangle him in his bed". I liked that part.

Acknowledging a show isn't for you, even if well-made, isn't for you isn't unfortunate at all. Everyone benefits over the cut ties as opposed to forcing one's self to sit through something they don't care for the sake of the zeitgeist or simply just fitting in. That's more likely to breed enmity than it is to successfully sway you down the line. It also enables the scenario where if you don't want to revisit it down the line, it'll be on your terms with no pressure in doing so.

Some really obnoxious youtube commentator who did a video for every episode of Asterisk War to tell people it was a LN adaption. He's also the one that talks the most and loudest while bringing up dumb issues. Especially in the Erased portion.
Well its unfortunate in that so few shows like that get made. And people will just retreat to formula. Which is the problem we have. Though thats not something specific to anime or japanese pop media.
Koukaku no Pandora Episode 3:
Well, looks like this is my guilty pleasure for the season, yea, it is trash but at least it is interesting and different even if it is a throwback to the early 2000s fetish work. At least it isn't another set of ragged recycled light novel tropes pressed off the assembly line.

I also enjoy fisting.
Actually, I couldn't live with this one. Something to do with the general ugliness and poor sound design killed my enjoyment of it. Decided to replace it with Nurse Witch Kumugi-Chan which is.. slightly better.

I like their underwater exploration part. I didn't actually read this far so this is all new for me.

Right, requisite warning about Nisemonogatari, if you found some of the stuff in Bake off putting then that shit is going to be amplified. I know certain people detest this warning but it exists for a reason.

Garo the Animation 16
This episode was kind of bad. Michio Mihara, Shun Kudo, and low-quality Korean outsourcing from UEC combined for a perfect storm of clumsy execution. I'm really disappointed in how low quality Mihara's work has been since he left Yuasa. This is probably my least favorite episode of the entire series.
At least the last scene promises some building intrigue in the overall plot.
If only the execution had been better so that reveal could have had the impact the reveal at the end of episode 13 did.

Now that was a fun episode. The action scenes were pretty great and the CGI was actually good, props to Orange.

Dagashi Kashi Episode 3
Best episode thus far, To really saves the anime and with Coconuts, the anime actually becomes really amazing. He needs to stick around more as I cant help but pay attention when both are on screen. Unlike when its Hotaru focused and Im just paying attention to everything else but her.
Also I had the same moment as To did when a coworker brought back china candy that had an edible wrapper and I didnt know. I didnt know such a thing existed.

Also! I totally called it when I said that the OP for the first episode was just a placeholder. Feel did the same thing with Oregairu at first. Small victory for me... yay... ;-;

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Episode 3:
I warned this place that people were going to start dropping this show in earnest sooner rather than later given all of the barriers to entry. Still, there is enough universality within the core narrative to keep this show compelling.
