Having footage to show doesn't mean production is on track. Not showing any footage doesn't mean there's none available.

Schrodinger's production.
I agree but it's also not usually a good sign when the launch is this close.
Tabimachi Lateshow: 1-4
A short anime comprised of four shorts, all having different perspectives. The theme is "goodbyes and journeys" so there is a prevalent feeling of bitter sweetness as the characters reflect on their lives. The first episode was probably the simplest of the bunch. It showed the separation of a boy aspiring to be a chef and his mentor who is reminded of her beginnings in cooking that included a separation of its own.
The second episode focused on two girls and a friendship that could have been. Im sure most people have moments where they regret something that was said or an action that wasnt taken in regards to the people they encounter in life and this episode touched on a fragment of that aspect. Theres no telling how it would have actually turned out but the possibility was there and that was enough to get her to reflect on it years later. On a side note from that episode, spitting on someones face is some disrespectful shit; dont care how mad she was.
The third episode had to be the best imo, a story about a festival where the deceased may interact with the living again. It was also the saddest one too, which you probably already expect but still the way it was carried out made it the most memorable of the bunch. Last episode focused on a retiring teacher, a job full of meetings and partings. It had a sweet ending though to close out the show.
Overall, this wasnt amazing but I thought it was still pretty good, it had some touching moments. The animation or rather lack thereof since its mostly just a slideshow of colored storyboards didnt bother me, the style of it all reminded me of some shorts I watched when I was a kid. So yeah this was worth checking out.

Can you explain what you mean by 'bad writing'? those terms always came off as vague for me

True, you can't entirely know how a production will go based on promotional materials. I remember From the New World had a lot of footage shown months ahead of the air date, and the show still had lots of production troubles. But not having animation in PVs is usually a bad sign. I don't want to believe it, because Umakoshi, but I'm starting to wonder if My Hero Academia will end up being the sacrificed show so the rest of Bones can live.

Luck & Logic Episode 5 & 6
Quetzie and manager are a good team. Still hoping Olga Breakchild can get a covenator too though with a human male. Since we have guy x girl, girl x creature, now.

Yup, that show.
More than likely they're going on a Shonen Jump hype schedule based on trickling out info and saving most of the animation for a huge reveal at an event.
I can't imagine with Shonen Jump on the production committee that this will be the show that suffers.

Bubuki Buranki Episode 5 & 6
Still really good and good backstories for everyone. Even the one that seemed to have some sort of romance didnt come off as bad. Actually the three newest antagonists havent actually been bad either, Hoshino came off as intriguing, while the other two helpful to helping the kids get out of their depressed states.

Shit like the Gajallerhorn confusing Atra with Kudellia because they apparently lacked a picture of her. This is bad writing because it comes across as an artificial convenience at the expense of plausibility. I.E. it is within the realm of possibility that this confusion happens but it is predicated on the notion that the bad guys are so incompetent that even basic intelligence is beyond their grasp and thus serves as a double whammy of hurting the credibility of the adversary while also pulling the audience out of the narrative via an illogical contrivance. Ergo, this can be certified as some pretty rancid writing that hurt the narrative.

The movie isn't really a good exemplar. It's fine, but the second season is just a better story.
Even then, I think it's because the songs - while awfully generic - have enough variance to them to separate the group from other idol groups. Or maybe that's Stockholm because I've listened to the songs hundreds of times by now.

This applies to anything really. Games, movies, etc.
I've said before but Love Live is less an idol show and more a character drama about a club who happen to do idol related activities.
People like it because of the characters and their chemistry with each other. In terms of story most of the songs are completely nonsensical, very muscialesque in that they are part of their own universe separate from the actions of the real world. You only have to watch the first episode for an example of that and, since it was mentioned, the movie is an even greater example. Compare this to other idol shows where every performance is on a stage of some kind, yes, even AKB0048 with all it's crazy shenanigans follows this rule.
If anything the idol aspect results in some very silly aspects; like the cast discovering merchandise of themselves raising the question of where the photos for that merch came from, Maki and Umi managing to write a discography in one year that shames most professionals, why are there subunit singles when the show never mentions subunits once etc. (obviously the last one is because Love Live started as a fictional group which got the anime later, no need to inform me of that)
People compare it to The iDOLM@STER a lot but honestly you're better off comparing it to K-On.

Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm isn't a good show but it is enjoyable, which is kinda confusing me. I think it's just so earnestly generic, like it's trying REALLY REALLY hard to be as generic a show as it can so you kinda just appreciate it for knowing what it wants.
I dunno, I got a soft spot for idiot characters and Misaki is pretty awesome. Also, they've largely ignored the male dude's "SUCH A TRAGIC PAST MADE ME NEVER FLY AGAIN" and nobody is particularly interested in his dick.
I guess it's just a 20 minute stretch of time I don't really regret watching cause I'm entertained during it.

Just like in real RPGs/MMOs, being the team priest is to suffer.
Also the gang figured out that maybe they should give their tank a helmet.

Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans 19
Carta's interests are blatant, especially when you consider what her subordinates all look like. More good combat, but I'm interested in seeing more mech fights on the ground now. Ein got it bad, but without an explicit death he'll probably make it. Mika really is adaptable.

Pretty sure
will make it. Looks like next episode focuses on Biscuit, cool.
I hope they never explicitly say what happened between Mikazuki and Orga in the past that made them so close. Like we get a shot of a guy dead, some money, Mika with the gun and thats it. Keep it at that and let the audience figure they're own interpretation.

All set-up. It was nice seeing Loser again though.

Dialogue is so superfluous in this that I think a neat experiment would be to be able to watch it with anything spoken muted and to just leave the sound effects/music playing. Characters are all extremely emotive and it'd be interesting to see how people would interpret events and reactions.

Grimgar 06
Finally get the explanation of why Mary is the way she is and can't say I'm surprised. Based on the way she heals their group you can tell she's learned her lesson about overhealing. Funny to see a healer put themselves in harm's way to save the mage. But this group mage is shit away so no surprise she need saving.
Mary keeps me watching this.
A party's second greatest fear next to the healer is dead.

Well shit, Mary isn't as bad as she comes off as. I guess we needed this backstory to gain perspective, but what is it with being a priest in Grimgar. Talk about suffering...

Why watch anime when you can watch Deadpool.
This movie was fucking fantastic and I was initially coming in with low expectations. To think they would make a good movie with such a low budget compared to other cape movies. If Batman vs Superman turns to shit I won't even be mad because how enjoyable Deadpool was. With how this movie is breaking records as a Rated R movie I expect a sequel with a bigger budget and Cable along the ride.
Also that X-men joke slayed me.

It was too mature, gorey, and comedic. Why cant we return to good written comic movies instead of directors trying to one up each other with who can put the most bad jokes into their movies? The expletives were so bad I need to wash my ears out with soap. I did not like it.
No way will they let such a popular franchise go to waste. I'm not too worried.
Didn't people say the same about shingeki?

Anime Tamago (formerly Anime Mirai) 2016 PV showing off animation from this year's four shorts. Signal.MD and Buemon's short look the best, Studio 4C's also looks promising, and Tezuka Productions' looks mediocre.
Having footage to show doesn't mean production is on track. Not showing any footage doesn't mean there's none available.
From what I understand of anime production. They are often still making the show when it starts airing.
Which is already all kinds of messed up.

Carta is really dumb, she's like Chara Sune but less ridiculous
thats because karen sux
Thats pretty much what I think. The visuals and animation are strong enough to carry it with zero dialogue and the dialogue is so bad and unnatural that it totally takes me out of it so I wonder why the hell these guys are even talking.

Is Varona really having feelings for Shizuo?!
I also just finally realized Walker is Yuuki Kaji. The laugh and giggling and excitement made me put the pieces together.
