Hope you like the show as it's one of the few show I still like even today. Also, the soundtrack for this show is great to listen to outside of the show.

Active Raid Episode 4 Holding Airspace
Okay this anime is really good now, Sena Kuroki is the best pairing I mean team. Their whole thing together is hilarious and they actually work well together. The Airplane Bomb is one of the best event thus far in the anime.
Cant wait for more.

Erased Episode 4
Awesome conclusion to such a stunning anime. Best episode yet, all my smiling feelings and seeing everyone so happy.
Kenya got the best smile even.

Erased ep.4:
Hinazuki was actually happy for an episode and it was beautiful. Sataru's mom is best mom by far.
"Well, if it was for a date, I would have given you the money for it" then she
No, No, No, WTF? It was going so good there,
Fuck.
I hate it when everything goes the right way for once,

stopped Hinazuki's mom from hitting her/him.... so good..

Sataru did it, but no, he just delayed the inevitable by an extra day.

but in the end it is all for nothing.
It's a fake list.
Blood Blockade Battlefront #5
I liked how the party got to use their special abilities to achieve their objective but it wasn't the actual focus of the episode, but rather a really turnabout way to have Leo muster up the courage to go and ask a girl out for a date. I still can't empathize with the characters too well, but the way the two cuddled at the end was sweet.
Still, it's weird how Libra gets to do whatever it wants in the city. They got their building sliced in half in ep1, walked past the police to battle vampires and walked out without even being stopped for questioning or getting acknowledged by the authorities, and now they've caused absurd amounts of collateral damage when they stopped a literal monster truck. I was expecting the local authorities or whatever to have at least a minor part in the show, but so far it looks like it's more about shutting your brain off and going with the flow.

Another great episode, but I couldn't stop feeling uneasy. And sadly, that ending seems to indicate the worse, maybe.
Things are always calm before the storm though. 
Also, what was that short scene with the teacher and the pole? The Polar bear from the North Pole ate the teacher. Do we know which student wrote that?
And Satoru's mom is the best. That scene at the start was so cool.

I have a feeling she's late in order to maker the present for Satoru, and I certainly hope I'm right.

So while I like Dimension W, and find myself looking forward the next episode, is it weird that I feel like it's a miss opportunity that Loser isn't the main character?
I mean, Kyouma is cool, but we haven't seen him do a nine hit combo yet while talking about being more flamboyant.

I think 4 and 9 should be swapped, but I agree with most everything else.

I dont understand why All Out is there since it is being animated, but I dont think it was said to be spring.
Otherwise I wish Saiki Kusuo was being animated, he'd be hilarious (Jet black wing especially)

Erased 04
I was waiting for the entire episode for something to go wrong and I guess I got it.
The mechanics of this "revival" thing confuse me. Is Satoru condemned to reliving next ~20 years or does he think he'll somehow jump forward in time again if he resolves the murder case ? I'd be freaking out a bit more when faced with the first possibility.
Yeah, this hasn't been disclosed afaik. If I had to guess, I'd say the second scenario seems more possible, but Satoru hasn't mentioned anything. I really doubt that he'll have to pass 20 years like that. I mean whether he saves Hinazuki or not, he has already changed the future with his 29 years of knowledge. I don't think they'll leave it unanswered though, but probably it's too early for us to know. They obviously focused on Hinazuki and Satoru. Things should start being different now.

Nope, that's what I meant.
If you watch them, you should post your impressions here. I'm always looking forward to seeing how people see the series the first time through.Active Raid - 4
Despite the lack of any actual combat and less comedy (or, some might say, precisely because of the latter), I liked this more than the previous episode. Stopping a plane from blowing up is easier to accept as a credible (if typical) threat that would require police intervention. Again, it's still very much sticking with familiar genre material and personal enjoyment of such conventions will always remain an issue.
Similarly, the two dudes got more screen time than anyone else this time, which is either good or bad depending on how you feel about treading through known buddy cop territory. The military side of things also looks like a potentially more promising rival/antagonist faction than Mr. Hacker, who is kind of amusing yet otherwise unremarkable so far. It certainly seems like that's where the show wants to go (it'll probably become a free-for-all struggle over technology). That said, the series did continue to remind everyone that IMS is working on the regular art and animation, with entirely expected results.

Kuroko no Basket S2/S3 (END)
Just finished it. Some of my early problems got fixed by the end, even if they tried too hard in some parts. After Kiyoshi re-entered the team and they developed Hyuga more, Izuki was the only random guy on the team. But sure enough he got a little bit of development near the end that made up for it. It still ain't nowhere near Haikyu's level of character development, but it was nice having a team you can actually care, instead of just the 2 main characters. That's about the 5 main players, because even though I liked that in the last match everyone got a chance to play, it would be way better if these other characters weren't just a bunch of nobodies.
Another thing I would've liked more it's time management. It gets really ridiculous later on. I feel conflicted, because while I do like that we have other players as recurring characters narrating the game, I feel the omniscient narrator Hunter x Hunter uses, for instance, would help the timing issues. (I know people aren't too fond of that kind of narration, but it fits better for a 10-page analysis of a 2 second play than a hivemind of players talking -- it gets really weird when one player across the court gives continuation to a thought the other started, even more so when it has very specific wording that one of them couldn't possiblly know right then).
Anyway, those are pet peeves and I'm overanalyzing it. The best thing this show does, it does right up until the end: hyping and delivering. There are so many fun matches, like Touou x Kaijo, Touou x Seirin 2 and Seirin x Kaijo 2, that kept me on the edge of my seat. It borders more on the supernatural than I thought it would while starting it, but it didn't hinder my enjoyment and I still recommend it regardless. Anyone waiting for the next episode of Haikyuu that still hasn't seen this should give it a shot. It isn't as great, imo, but it is damn good.

Erased Episode 4:
So in the end the future refused to change, which makes sense from a format standpoint as it is way too early in the narrative for everything to go right. Still, even with that in mind they made the still last days of Kayo Hinazuki rather warm and emotionally resonant and Satoru was improving his own life as well. Indeed they were hinting at it a few times in the episode of Satoru is currently trapped in a causality loop though this one is a bit different then normal as while some shit remained the same her clearly changed some shit, you don't see that often and I wonder how this is going to play out?

You have my money and...things...that will do "stuff" for these adaptations.
Oh, that's nice to hear. It'd be cool to get another 99 episode batch someday, but I guess there's always the manga (even though I don't remember it being available in CR).
It's a really unique show, so yeah, I'd definitely recommend that you check it out sometime. It's a very dialog-heavy show, but the way it's structured and the visuals give it lots of dynamism.

After looking on a real chart for the Spring season I realize that Tsutomu Mizushima and Okada are doing an anime original show with Mayoiga.
This can only end as masterpiece...

It may not be available in your territory, but Crunchyroll has the Space Brothers manga, at least in the US.
Nevermind, just checked and it was there. I very rarely visit the manga portion of CR, so I must've missed it. I wish there was a way to add manga to your queue like with anime, since having to manually browse to them is a pain, and I sometimes forget which volume/chapter I was at.
Which chapter should I start with to pick up from where the anime left off?
