Gundam IBO 17
Slow build for Kudelia looks to be finally paying off.
On the mechs side things are escalating nicely. Finally Mika has an opponent he can't just stomp. Still surprised Orga hasn't got a gundam yet, I guess he's gonna stay the brains of the operation.
Haikyuu 17
As much as i like Hinata and Kageyama, I enjoy the episodes that don't focus on them a lot. Poor yamaguchi can't catch a break and the coach was right to try and ream for that.

It's not bad, but yeah, the story is super edgy and super crazy off the rails sci-fi. Some parts drag on and on and the auto save set me up in the worst of situations sometimes where you die almost immediately upon spawning.
Oh and fuck "realistic" mode, (was getting sniped off-screen from enemies) that shit was insufferable. I played on the second hardest difficulty mode.

Now we're getting back to the Gundam I know and...love?
Now the question is what will Kudelia do going forward?

Lots of bodies in this one including Fumitan who's betrayal remorse and redemption equals death was so obviously telegraphed, you'd think there would be a subversion at some point. Given that there's no real reason for her to turncoat in the first place, that's what I was expecting.

The limits of what the hell the coils can do is so hard to determine now. They're starting to look more magical than technological.
Hand-to-hand fight scene was cool but it looked a little rough. Still i appreciate anything that has action scenes that don't use speed lines or any other shortcut.

Ya know this show is more fun to watch than I was expecting it to be. Kogane vs. Hat dude was a great fight to watch. Seeing little girls go into blind rage mode in anime is always hilarious.
Best scenes in the whole fucking episode

Gjallarhorn really did plan this pretty well. The newsies asked to be dragged into this, so they're being dragged into this. Kudelia is finally doing something. Gali Gali and his new buddy are good, but no match for Mika, Akihiro, and Shino's mighty Ryuusei-Go.

I will never quit telling people that I despised the ending of this show. But it's really good until you get there.

Dimension W Episode 4
That was pretty fun. Especially the horror world. I feel some of the exposition was a bit on the lazy side, but hey, it's nice to see Krul from Seraph of the End.
Grimgar Episode 4
Man, I can't believe
Also the gang can rekt the assholes of normal goblins now. That said, productions seem to suffering a bit. There's a fight scene that seemed unfinished, and I couldn't tell where the hell anyone was in relation to each other.
Oh well, at least the magic in the show looks cool.

someone died when the episode started with a bell tolling.
And then the priest talked about how happy he was that he got the busty mage to finally talk to him.
And then he talked about how great it was to be in a good party.

These Numbers coils and their connection to the otherside are such high level tech that they might as well be fucking magic

at this point because that's the only way I can make sense of the fact that the echos of ghost from people murdered in the past are simitaluously existing in the past and the future at the same time and able to attack people in the future.
And I still don't share your vehement dislike of the ending, not at all, but it's worth pointing out that was the same resolution they reached in the original manga.
In any case...as far as I am concerned, Maria the Virgin Witch remains a very good show that happened to be criminally underwatched.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans Episode 17:
Right, so after a pair of bad episodes we are back on good footing again as the Gjallarhorn execute the final phase of the brutal oppression. One thing I really do like is how much agency Kudella has; to the point where she is arguably the protagonist of this series.

The manga continued on and had a proper ending, but the anime wasn't popular to get a continuation. I think all the manga has been translated officially as well.
Dimension W Episode 4:
Oh yes, I can certainly buy that this series come to us from the creator of Darker Then Black as the science of DW here would not be out of place in that work. Anyway, it was interesting to see them bring in elements of the horror genre this episode.

Tank confirmed shit, would not party with never pulled aggro for the healer. Hunter didn't do any long range attack, mage has CC spells but didn't use them rogue was the only one who tried to pull aggro off healer.
Whole party is shit and got their healer killed. Good job fuck ups. As someone who plays healer this party is our worst kind of nightmare. Have fun with your 1 tank four DPS party. Seeing their party get absolutely wrecked by that well organized gobs was a treat and scary as fuck. Them gobs ain't shit to be fucked with.

Uh, I never had watched this, pretty bad as a Evan fan...

Written by Anno himself, it seems, between the series and the movie.

The ending was so weird.
She discovers what he's doing, is extremely disgusted by it, but just lets him go?

Yeah, Kudelia having a pivotal role in the story is great. If there's anything that's bothered me in previous Gundam shows, it's that you have these heroines that take up a lot of time but don't end up doing anything in regards to the story at all. There's only a few in Gundam, as a franchise, that really get that time and do something at all. The current set of episodes have done a pretty good job of setting the stage and giving a reason for Kudelia to go to war instead of just speak out as an emissary for peace/change.
More people watching good anime warms my heart.
Best anime OP of all time.

Uh, I dropped Ninja Slayer a few episodes in, do I need to know anything before jumping into the finale ? Surely, even this shit-tier script had to have some kind of progression in the story

5 hours to marathon 7 episodes of Subete F. I can do this.
Durarara X2 28 or something
Good stuff. More Saika, some Shizuo and Kiba drawing the short end of the stick.
Okada Gundam - 17
Step up from the last couple episodes and finally some good old mecha action again. Let's see what Kudelia plans to do.
Dimension W - 4
We full mystery horror now? I approve.
Grimgar - 04
Hahahahaha, they're fucked.

The amount of references in this episode are insane. Gundam, Chip and Dale, Rocky, Dragonball, Cardcaptor, Dragon Quest, Ronald McDonald, Star Trek, Sailor Moon, Mazinger, Super Mario, JoJo(they actually spoil The World's power) etc.
Plus it had Magical girl Behoimi, truly the hero we deserve.

I'd say ERASED, Rakugo are the best shows this season from what I've seen so far, but Dimension W and KonoSuba are also good. In the short shows department, I'd say Galko, Sekko Boys and Marshmallow Ojisan are all fun to watch.
Dimension W-4
This was a good looking episode from an art direction perspective. It's not like the show has been bad looking but I thought this was a bit of a standout primarily in the backgrounds, probably due to the change in environment and outdoors shots (of which they're easier to look pretty). The episode director also utilized some new tricks for the show, mainly some slight depth of focus transitions and playing with the editing a bit more than I remember.
I appreciate the arc being a two parter and hope that's the case with some of the arcs going forward as it allows the pacing to breathe a bit more and doesn't feel as cramped. I'm not sure I follow everything going on with the students and Numbers aspect but I appreciate the change up in genre. The show is dabbling more in horror than I expected but I think it flows well enough due to the nature of the actual Dimension W.

Well that was cathartic, especially with Jouji Nakata voicing the guy rubbing it in. The only reason I'm still watching this is to see these insipid characters suffer, hopefully they keep it up.

Yume's thighs are the only reason to watch Grimgar.
But holy fuck the soundtrack is so fucking bad.

It's hard to believe it's not an MMO-style fantasy world when they literally learn "skills" that are regular weapon movements. Thrusting, cutting diagonally, stabbing in the back, smashing a mace, etc. At least they're not yelling out the names of these attacks.
This show really overdoes it with insert songs. Didn't really feel much during the church onwards.

I felt very entertained, that insert song was the icing on the cake.
And the "you're a diamond" blowing away the ashes moment.

Watch the next ep now gogogogogogogogo
Is it common for seiyu to have that on the side? The only one I know thus far that does regular work and eroges is
Asami Imai (Chihaya Kisaragi, Tsubaki / Izayoi in the Blazblue games).
Best episode of anything last year.
My understanding is that it's not that unusual but they usually do it under a separate name.
Norio Wakamoto voices Edwin Black for example.

Yup
Only things that come close are probably episodes 4 and 10 of Non Non Biyori Repeat.
