Oji-san to Marshmallow should replace Konosuba replacing Grimgar.
Yeah, it's more of a Super Sentai show with cops than a cop show with robots (or a mecha show with cops).
Not that it matters much either, but I liked episode 9. Things are finally starting to come together for whatever the mid-series climax turns out to be.

Nice to see that you guys like the anime already and you haven't even seen the good arcs.
You should definitely stick around.

It's important to note that Shinkai, while creating the original short this is based on, is not involved in this production. It's being directed by Kazuya Sakamoto at Liden Films Kyoto.
It's also worth nothing that the other two shorts in the Comix Wave slot on Ultra Super Anime Time this season, Tabi Machi Late Show and This Boy is a Professional Wizard, are not comedies but dramas. There's also Kagewani, which had its first season in the fall and will have its second season in the spring, which is a good horror short series.

Well, Shinkai isn't directly involved in this one, though I guess you can still give credits for the original short and premise.
First episode was really good, although I'm not liking the cat's narration that much. I feel as though he could be talking less in general and sound less like some generic wise man narrating a girls struggle to adulthood rather than...a cat. I'm gonna rewatch Shinkai's original piece. Can't quite recall the narration in that.
How is Marshmallow compared to Please Tell Me, Galko-chan?

Inferior. But cuter.
Erased 09
Yoooooo Mom, you a fuckin' Bad. Ass. How she just gonna stand there with a shovel comin right at her face goddamn.
I said goddamn.
I'm really starting to like the teacher a lot. He's such a great guy. Gosh I sure hope he doesn't end up being the bad guy. I think they already went through that loop of implying it might be him and then backed off of it, so I think he's safe, but even so, I can't get rid of that nagging feeling that it's still possible. D:
This episode was really solid.
(I haven't really talked about it in my Erased commentary before, but yeah, Kenya is ridiculously observant and way too smart, haha. But... that's pretty typical of anime, I suppose. Usually not THIS young, though. The way he talks sounds smarter than Satoru's inner thoughts!)

Grimgar 9
Just pull the trigger Hal. The seeds are there.
You do realize this is a LN right? Fanservice garbage is kind of the standard. You know what you're getting into.

Grimgar and GATE both sound like shows I would be interested in on paper but pretty much nothing I've seen has indicated that they are executed well enough to not be trash

Grimgar would have been better if it had just embraced its trashiness, maybe even gone for a dark comedy vibe.

Yeah, I agree. This weird middle-line just makes it all the worse. One way or the other Grimgar! Choose your path!
Although I know you don't like the other side of Grimgar, but hey, that's all right.
(It's gotten better since episode four, by a lot. Enjoying the show quite a bit more these past few eps. Mary is great.)

Phantom World 9
Another excellent episode. Sasuga KyoAni. Great action, moe, heart, comedy, animation. Even though sometimes I feel like the show is wasted potential as a phantom-of-the-week show (did they forget about the device?), I'm still enjoying it.
Some really great action scenes in this episode. Ruru has evasion +100 and Albrecht continues to be best bear.
I feel like half the stuff I watch can be summed up by this.

They both seem like bad and self serious trash, instead of Good Trash
I dunno, GATE had one episode of self-seriousness.
Unless you count all the GLORIOUS NIPPON stuff as self-seriousness!
At this point it's all just Itami and his harem dealing with cartoonish assassins on one hand and hilariously melodramatic politics on the other. It's incredible.
I mean, there's a group of warrior princesses, and one of their names is BEEFEATER.
This is real.
this is GATE.
Did I mention the warrior princesses discovered BL manga and are now obsessed with it??

I feel like the self-serious trash in GATE is way worse, since it's too extremist in both sides. In one, you have lolis and pervert characters, and in the other you have this over-complicated military bullshit that they try to sell.
I found Grimgar to be enjoyable in contrast. They don't fill the world with a bunch of shitty terminology like Asterisk/Cavalry a while back, for instance, and what you see in the fantasy world setting is mostly background for character interaction and development. From the first episode it sold itself as that. We're in episode 9 right now and the focus hasn't shifted.

Yeah, I agree with this. Gate has a weird tone, but self serious is not how I'd describe it.

Which one?
That's cool. It also doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to call out that you should have seen this coming since it's typical of every LN.
Also, calling Grimgar sexist pandering when handwaving GATE, the anime with rape and alluded pedophilia, is a bit strange.
Calling it 'sexist pandering' reeks of sex negativity and is a rather regressive perspective considering Grimgar actually has some fairly fleshed out characters. Fanservice is dumb, sure, but it doesn't detract from the story itself.

after watching half of kekkai sensen. I wish more shows would include allies that try to kill each other in order to become the leader of their said group more often

Ok that sounds slightly better.
I would probably be watching Grimgar and gate if they didnt air on friday/sunday where I gotta be cutthroat since everything airs then
Save it for another day!
I'm catching up on two weeks of backlog right now it's awful/the-best.
Hahah! That's oen way of looking at it.
I like both and have problems with both.

Time for you to watch Monogatari and get a better idea about the good kind of pandering
If I don't watch the show on the day it airs I find that I'll forget/fall behind and end up dropping it, even if I like it
Maximilian Kolbe

Grimgar is good kind one because it focus on legs and ass.
Did you try watching Concrete Revolutio by any chance?
I also wish GATE was dumber, if I'm being honest. It's stil more than dumb enough for me to enjoy, though.
(Monogatari is actually a very good example of pandering done for a good reason. It's always done from the perspective of Araragi, and serves the purpose of showing him for the pervert he is. I think it goes overboard frequently, but at least it has a reason to. I can see people being turned off by that, though, and that's okay.)

I started Kizu today so getting closer. Two pages about Hanekawa's panties sure was something especially when I realized Nisoisin wrote less about them here than Jexhius had.
hey guys if possible i'd like some recommendations. it's been a while since i watched a full series and i feel like seeing what's out there. here's what i like: good animation, very little filler, and minimal fanservice. if it's a good manga i'm already reading it and won't bother watching.
last show i watched was one punch man, before that gurren lagann. other favorites are gits: sac/2nd gig, full metal panic, boogiepop phantom, escaflowne, full metal alchemist.
thanks in advance.

It's the Deepest Panty Shot in History™
Wonder how it will be for you actually starting at the beginning and not having the "What happened during Kizu" stuff hanging over you for 70 episodes. It'll make you look at Shinobu different at least
Showa Rakugo Genroku Shinju airing right now is really excellent. The current Gundam series (Iron Blooded Oprhans) might interest you because it seems you like Sci-Fi. Watch Space Battleship Yamato 2199. Yeah go for SBY2199
also dont listen to Dedication Through Light

Not bring hung up on something potentially more interesting not being covered first thing plus understanding Shaft better will surely carry me through.
