It's a great game, but I think it got a bad rap(like nearly all of Imageepoch's games). They were flawed, but never kusoge.

The story in the game though was virtually non-existent so I'm not sure what to make of this. Also don't know how well Shaft will handle the action elements.

CCC's story is insane. Extra Vanilla was kind of like Fate compared to CCC as Heaven's Feel. Nothing stellar, but more than enough beats to make a decent show out of.
New Aniplex of America pre-orders up at Rightstuf. (old probably I know ._.)
I'll definitely be in for Nisekoi to keep my collection going, maybe will get Plastic Memories too!
I can't get Wagnaria until someone releases S1 BDs. Having 2/3 of something on one format would kill me inside.

I wonder if Yuri will be able to top the ice skating scene in Death Parade.
That scene is so fantastic.
Also, slightly larger image of Arslan...

Aniplex is bringing Nisekoi S2, Plastic Memories, and Working S3 to BD. Hope someone in the Q&A asks them about Mushishi. Just toss it out on BD already and I'll pay whatever price you want!
Now I just need an Owari release announcement, probably in 2 volumes I guess.
First time in a while they haven't been as timely with the Monogatari releases. Even Hanamonogatari came relatively quickly to BD.
Genshiken turns into a weirdish harem by the second season that revolves around the most unlikely character in the series.
Captures the college life pretty well ie sit around and talk shit most of the day then go out drinking.

I wish Shaft would do another otaku centric comedy again.
Koyomimonogatari 12 - Koyomi Dead [END]
Wow. What the fuck happened. That was one painful way to end this short series and make it relevant to the main plot. I mean, I could think a lot of ways to interpret the "Dead" part, but I was actually expecting another punchilne, that was brutal. You knew that something bad would happen, but it kept building up the tension. Koyomimonogatari really ties perfectly to the next arc,
, whatever this means for Koyomi.
Other than that, I loved how we got an episode featuring all the characters, even Sodachi, Kaiki and Koyomi's mother. And Meme, wherever he is. Just small moments from their life, the calm before the storm. Oh, and Senjougahara, waiting for Koyomi on that amazing winter oufit. But Koyomi isn't coming anytime soon.
And now it's the waiting game for both the next season and Kizu...

Mayoi Hell
I still can't believe that Gaen would do something so terrible and what the hell happened to Kagenui. Kinda funny if Ougi turns out to be good and Gaen is really the bad one. And meeting Mayoi again, great scene to end it.

And everything was part of a strange mobile phone app.
With Shaft working on all kinds of project now I hope that we get the rest of Owarimonogatari as another new year special at least.

So confirmed then that HeroAcA really is only 13 episodes.
Depending where they end it, you could do MHA as 13 episodes with really great pacing. I think that's a show that could benefit from a bit quicker an adaptation.
This is all assuming it gets a Season 2, but that feels like a forgone conclusion given the hype.
Haikyuu End
No show, don't show me the girls team unless they're getting their own series.
Can't wait for the final.
Komugi End
Ha take that Love Live, this is how to do a real CG idol concert.
The ship sailed and the series ended on the same weird note that it started with so perfect finale really. That season 2 tease hmmm.

Koyomimonogatari 12
I'm kinda relieved because this ending means that that one giant ass spoiler on
I read when Owari was airing is 99.9% sure to be fake.
So after the dreadful first half this really picked itself up. Rakugo > Haikyuu >Erased > Koyomimonogatari > Ajin > Dimension W
RIP Kagenui.

Just caught the Heaven's Feel news.
Mostly, that's a positive move. HF is too much to do as a single film and really capture it well. On the other hand, getting 3 movies out of Ufotable is probably going to take a stupid amount of time. I think maybe the best balance would've been 2 films and cutting a lot of the redundant intro crap out.
Whatever, I'm excited to see HF at a big screen budget. If they do it right, it should be great. HF almost reads like a horror novel compared to the other 2, so I really hope they can do the dark and violent imagery right. The Assassin fight in particular better be the most top tier Ufotable we can get.

Please Tell Me! Galko-Chan!: 5-12
Haha, it's great that my sister couldn't resist watching the rest of the show, it's relateable and all, apparently. I enjoyed the group watch even if a lot of it is not my kind of joke. The characters are great and the jokes are genuinely funny.

I imagine it will continue to get many seasons given the popularity.
that being said I am fine with 13 episodes a year if they are packed full of content and quality animation.
imagine how glorious one piece would be during the desarosa arc if they had done 3-4 chapters per episode and had high quality animation @_________@
It will be interesting to see how people feel about the style of MHA and mob psycho from bones once it starts airing though as both seem to be staying closer to the original manga style than most other clean looking shows anymore. Either way I can't wait to be watching MHA in spring and Mob in summer (summer in general is looking like it will be one of the better anime seasons in a long time)
I have full confidence BONES will do MHA justice. Most of the stuff I'm most excited to see will likely be Season 2/3 at this rate, but I definitely support the trend of 13-26 episode season with breaks allowing quality animation and pacing. Should be a great ride.
She and Her Cat: 4, End
The whole series was just sweet, with the cat trying to cheer his owner up in his cat world view kind of way. The whole lonely living combined with the perpetual joblessness was sad, but in the end they managed a nice uplifting ending, mending her relationship with her mother too. Cat died obviously but they dwelled less on the death and more on the life lived. I liked it.

Arakawa Under the Bridge 12 sort of END
The bar isn't exactly high, it's frighteningly low if I'm being honest, Nino might still be a, even greater after this episode, underdeveloped mystery but goddamn this is like, 2nd best love story ever told. This show has no business being as good as it is in its "serious" parts. Great denouement to the issues that were festering throughout the entire run of the series but without losing for a moment sight of just what kind of show Arakawa Under the Bridge is. 10/10

Fun fact
Arakawa is one of the reasons why 3lion is animated by Shaft.

You reminded me I still need to finish S2.
If I'll watch the first 3 episodes, I'll also watch the rest.
Yay.
Is that the one with hawt Lancer ?
Awesome. I love me some more Kiniro Mosaic, even if it's just one special episode. More Karen is always the best, haha.
I guess we're at that period now before the start of next season where I can marathon stuff. Good thing that Koyomimonogatari eps are relatively short.
Spring Season is practically here. So much to go through...

Rakugo: 10-12
Wow at that revelation in episode 10.
Wow at that revelation in episode 10.
So Yakumo fired Sukeroku for extremely egotistical reasons, turning away one of the best young talents. The show presents quiet a grim picture on the behind the scenes politics of the rakugo institution. The second fantastic aspect of this episode was Kikuhiko's performace. It was sort of sinister and it was the perfect presentation also for the state of mind he was in, with him not wanting to be Yakumo, and wanting to get away into solitude, and yet obviously lonely from the people he lost.
The next episode was a light hearted affair with Kikuhiko trying to take care of Sukeroku and his daughter. Underneath though there is some undercurrent of sadness since the whole setup between Sukeroku and Miyokichi didn't work out. The way Konatsu talked about her mom was a particularly harsh moment. On the upside Kikuhiko manages to motivate Sukeroku's old self into performing. I liked the way when Kikuhiko did it alone it felt sort of harsh but then when Sukeroku joined in the mood completely changed, becoming very playful. Basically two complement each other and one can't be without the other in some ways.
Episode 12 presents a powerful climax, but it feels off. It's bizarre and there is too much dramatic flourish to it. So on one hand I like it on the other hand I can't ignore some of the silliness.

Curious as to what you consider the best love story every told. Second season is worth your while more or less depending on how much weight you put on that mystery. Though beware of downgraded OP and ED.
Nice, hope they have more than 2 people doing the animations this time.

The end of episode 12
feeling off is deliberate. I can elaborate on that if you're OK with manga spoilers.
It was an uplifting ending, though having an old cat did pain my heart a bit. Though the start of the new cycle had me nodding and remember how it was for me with my childhood cat and how it wasn't really that long before I adopted another.

Deliberate pls. edit: ok I went back enough pages in the thread to read the spoilers.
I think the end of ep. 12 wasn't at the great level of the rest, but it was "fine". I understand feeling it off because until now, most of this series could have been the biopic of real people, and this part felt more taken from a movie, with all the drama and twists
and deaths
edit 2: Ok I wasn't crazy, I remembered how in episode 1 there was a brief flashback of the death being inside a house, with blood everywhere, and one on top of the other.

IBO = 25 eps
MHA = 13 eps
Aslan2 = 8 eps
Nanatai = 4 eps
IBO2 = 1 shot TV movie?!?!?!
Arslan and heroAca are the losers in this scheme since its not like they are limited on source material for both. Worst if HeroAca is staying in this slot an s2 wouldnt happen in this scheme until next year unless IBO truly is just getting a movie...
So many of heroaca charasa dont get much action until post ep13

She and Her Cat Everything Flows - Episode 4 (End)
Yup, that ended like everyone expected from ep1. Except the girl somehow avoided living in a box. How she managed to get a job we will never know. Deeper and more meaningful than Eva Death and Rebirth. Would watch again. 10/10.
