I just finished 3 Kiseki games back-to-back-to-back, Am only 40 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles X, and only halfway done with Fire Emblem: Fates. I work full-time.
My backlog just keeps growing too ;_;
I'll be there sooner or later though.

God Eater - Episode 6
Super duper disappointed with the predictable and underwhelming direction they took the story. As I expected, it seems the previous episode's intense and horrific assault on Lenka amounted to jack shit. Even after getting stabbed all over, crushed a few times, bleeding out, and having his weapon completely destroyed, he's still able to not only move around pretty well, but being the heroic DUDE he has to save and protect the girl who didn't even get injured all that much. Embarrassing male power fantasy garbage. And of course despite being a strong independent fighter on the outside, the kickass girl character has to be suffering from childhood PTSD which conveniently triggers at a moment where she could actually be the one protecting the guy. Nope, can't have that, the shounenbros might have their feelings hurt!
Disgusting garbage show. Will keep watching to see how much more Hirao and Ufotable can embarrass themselves.

Also thought the show was fine, looking forward to the final episodes in a couple of weeks.

I watch full episode of mahjongmatsu-san. Anyway, i think mahjong anime/manga is great when there's a lot of asshole or cheater involved, and since the matsuno sibling are fuckboi, this episode really entertain me. Them mahjong title, lmao

Alright guys, are there any good ships I'm missing here? Steins Gate was awesome since it was not that team age agnsty crap, but drama in general is OK.

Utsugi Lenka standing strong and rising tall after facing the worst defeats ever isnt something to feel bad about but something to feel glad about. It was one of his best moments and how better to show it than by protecting the defeated and hurt Alisa. I was very proud of him.
you should watch skip beat since you liked nodame and ore monogatari. But I am also currently trying to make skip beat relevant whenever I can because it's about to have an indiegogo project I want to see funded go live so more people should watch it, fall in love with it because it's a great shojo show, and then back it
will note the skip beat indiegogo page should go live a little under 6 hours from when I posted this.
also... I should talk to you more as our tastes are more compatible than I am with a number of other people on here lol.

Well? well, that's that.

Well? well, that's that.
The proud tradition of Dog Girl December will continue every other year as planned.
already knew I was gonna watch this but the PV further confirmed it
Even if the PTSD plot point was a necessity (probably part of some game backstory), there are ways they could have handled that last part against scrub-tier monsters without requiring her to just curl up in a fetal position. It's kind of frustrating. At least they managed to establish it decently beforehand so it wasn't entirely out of nowhere.
Honestly, I've stopped expecting things from the plot. The art and direction are what's keeping me going, and those are still strong and stylish. I like how the episode demonstrated some of Lenka's experience surviving on the outside during the insert song montage. I feel like ufotable actually respects my time and intelligence with their storytelling here, which is more than I could say for UBW.

I've seen others with doujin avatars. The smart ones don't use the ahegao faces though.
don't tempt me now.
What no scene of one of the girls on top of him with their boobs in his face?
but I like ahegao faces

Kemonozume.
Is that the one with Dan Brown and other weird peeps ? PV's are a bunch of lies and all that but his looks surprisingly nice.

You guys lied to me, this was tame.
Looks better than I was expecting.
HeroAca looks like the weak link from Bones next season.

I'm in.
Not that excited to watch it either now that I think about it... I read the manga a fair bit, and I feel like they are going to stop right where I left off. I don't feel like the material is good enough for me to waste 20 mins rewatching the same stuff again. Stuff like Bungo, things that I haven't seen before interest me more.

I hope this gets a funidub, so many great character designs.

If it turns out to be good this is great. I like this format since it both gives more time for the team to work on the show, and it gives me a few months to rest and not grow tired of watching the same thing. I used to hate split-cours, but now I'm totally okay with them.

Like the new merchandise coming, would get. Reminds me when Yowapeda got some too.

Damn, that is no good. Maeda is my boy.
Yeah, I watched another three episodes last night. It's interesting stuff, but so far the story has been so scattered and random. Does it get a more cohesive story moving forward?

Very nice, I think I've passed over that one a bunch of times because the story sounded blah, but maybe I'll check it out.

Hey, I did watch most of season 1, I just don't think it would be worth to continue forward.
funny, lol.
yeah, but it absolutely starts as a slice of life for like 10 episodes or so. I think. Been years since I watched it.
One of my absolute favourite anime though. Actually now that I understand orbital mechanics better maybe I should rewatch it...
the story doesn't sound great on paper, but the characters and writing are great. The only sad thing is that the series ends in the middle of an arc (about the only time you could stop in the middle of the arc, but still in the middle)
just make sure to at least make it to the end, most of the first episode is pretty generic, but that is on purpose for the payout at the end
after that it's a solid comedy with a good amount of character growth.

Do it for Kuroneko.
I'm not against the revival of this piece of lost AnimeGAF culture.

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu 08
This episode had really good conversations on Rakugo. The first half of the episode made their positions in the Rakugo world clear. Each of them have found their own style and have been successful commercially. Moreover, they pointed towards a chance of them to be at a higher official position in the field. The second half was where the interesting conversations happened. Sukeroku at least had a good perspective of Rakugo in the entertainment industry and his ideas for making sure it survives and even progresses as a whole were really interesting to hear.
I really felt Sukeroku's thoughts on Rakugo and its future could potentially apply to art of any media. For instance, certain genre/style of a media might not bode well with new audiences but they could be warmed into liking/appreciating them by other genre/style that is specifically meant for them, others may not appreciate it but most cases, they don't look at the bigger picture. This is something I've observed with myself as well (it's unfortunate that sometimes 'bad' fan bases and elitists tend to make certain shows/media unapproachable for new comers).

Yeah the second half is a lot more focused. Are you watching it subbed or dubbed? The dub is fantastic.

Sounds good. I just got to the part when he meets his
sensei again for the first time in a couple years and Tanabe finds out Sensei has terminal cancer
Watching subbed, like usual. Most dubs I've found to be done by the same VA and their voices just don't match the characters well...

I'll have to add it to my list and check it out.
