FAVAROOOOOOOO!!!!! Why isn't he in the main visual? Sucks he'sgetting probably a minor role.
Seconding the recommendation for Rakugo. Definitely the best of the season. Jojo's is a lot of fun if you want a good action anime, though Stardust Crusaders really drags. The 2012 anime has good pacing, though.
If you want something with a great story and character progression... have you seen From the New World? You may enjoy that. Wolf's Rain is also great for this, and has some good action scenes in it too. Mind you, neither of these are comedies, and they're quite dark at times. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but they're both quite well made; two of my all-time favorites, in fact! Even if you don't end up liking them, I guarantee that they won't be another Glasslip.

Is this supposed to sound like The Flintstones theme or am I just being hopeful for Youtube fakery?

Hunter X Hunter (1999) 62 END
Some high highs in this episode. The Zoldyck vs. Chrollo fight may have been the best one in the series, at least from a direction and animation standpoint. The camera movements and intensity of the animation were crazy. Some good character moments for Kurapika as well.
Overall, Yorkshin has ended up a pretty good arc. It's basically a really good thriller movie, with many different factions running around and trying to outplay each other. I'm not as thrilled about it as many people are though; I wouldn't consider this the pinnacle of battle shounen or whatever. (I think that'd be Nina in FMA from my personal experience.) Kurapika's drive to take revenge for the Kurta massacre is a strong emotional core, and his darkness is well portrayed throughout. But aside from his battle with Uvogin, he feels like a side character with the way Yorkshin plays out. There's so much fluff, so many characters, so much going on, that the personal stories get a bit overshadowed. This seems like an unpopular opinion, but the Hunter Exam is still my favorite arc of the series. It feels the most focused and the most character-driven out of all of them. Later arcs have elaborated in various ways on the character arcs the Hunter Exam set up, but they never felt like the focus. And the more characters the series introduces, the bigger a problem that becomes.
But good show overall. I feel like Furuhashi did a good job pulling out and emphasizing the most interesting parts of the story. The highs were truly high.
That last second cliffhanger was pretty silly though.

Though I get that they're using Shea Stadium for Lilia's performance early in the episode to evoke The Beatles performing there (why else would you?) to show how big Lilia is, I still feel obligated to point out that it got torn down 8 years ago and had bathrooms of questionable condition.

No, it's not even a good one of those.
It's anime MGS but with a half baked harem. It's fun seeing 2 guys taking down huge war machines with cool and convenient bullshit. Try out the first arc (first 3 episodes) and see if you like it or not.

It's one of the better manga that have come out recently. I'm always happy to see more Josei get made into anime.
Its not trash IMO and not really harem. It has some stupid fanservice but is mostly a buddy cop comedy with huge ass tanks. It starts weak but improves a lot later.

It's a ton of fun, but it's not a harem and not fixated on fanservice, but of course there are some bits of it.

Did you close your eyes every time Frolaytia showed up on screen?
I don't think any of the ED songs have ever been announced ahead of time. They save that shit for nationals
You're being hopeful. It's going to be a rap-type OP. Although the EDM arrangement has me thinking that it stands for ending music and not electronic dance music in this context... maybe they just made a special arrangement to use for the first episode's credits.
As harem? no. As a fanservice? Yes. But mostly it's just 2 guys taking down huge ass war testicles machines with deus ex machina luck which alot people seem to enjoy.

It's definately there, but only a couple of the obnoxious fanservice scenes like lthe pool table, pole dancing, the seat belt and the work out really stick out.. I mean, they call her tito tuts for a reason

I'm pretty sure this is just a PV for a mobage, not for a TV anime.

reddit is really eating this up lol
Not a bad ending. Still IMO one of the weaker fantasy shows, but A-1 managed to make something sensible this season, so I'm good with this.

It's not a harem series. One of the description I like to use is "a mecha series the same way MGS is a mecha game".
Even taking that into account it's not really a focus of the series. When talking about trashy harem shows, the ecchi scenes are the focus but with Heavy Object the ecchi scenes are kinda like an after thought.
Sure it's there, but it's not why you watch it... Kinda like MGS now that I think about it....
It really did feel like a wrap-up though, rather than just a season end. Guess I'll need to try my hand at the books.
I'm speechless. So is the game a horse stable management sim?
Shame they aren't centaurs.

Hey, if we get one episode as good as the first episode of the original series then I'll be satisfied.
The first episode of Rage of Bahamut: Genesis was probably one of the best opening episodes to any anime that I've seen, period. It's a shame that the show just kind of meandered through it's plotting rather than an effectively planned original series like, say, Garo.

Well, shit.
Bad CG mecha design. Unfortunate.
Speaking of unfortunate CG...
I imagine there might be a time where I can set my bias against CG anime aside and try to engage with this on it's own merits, but that time hasn't arrived yet.
It's a bit like where the main character's model in a game has 4x more detail and polish than any other model and it stands out, badly due to that sharp contrast.
CG characters don't look that bad to me. Everything else does though. Which is weird, usually it's the other way around.
Hope people like CG.
