I guess that One Piece movie will continue to be the only Hosoda movie I've seen

Wolf Children is really good; you should watch that at least.
Wolf Children and Summer Wars are really good tho

Wolf Children is good. Worth seeing.
I also enjoyed Summer Wars.
Plus, Hosoda helped make the Samurai Champloo opening, so he's okay in my book.

it's what everything was to Psychopass.

Oh, so that's what Aegis is...
Ewwwwww.
This show continues to be well-directed. The final flashback was incredibly intense and disturbing.
I'm really not sure where this is leading. I get a general sense of what has to happen, but the motivations underlying
seem like they'll be a ridiculous enough sort of nonsense to undercut most of what they're going for.
Still, I find myself unreasonably excited for this show every week, so it's clearly doing a lot right. It's so hard to find good hot-blooded action anime these days.
Maybe I should watch Majin Bone...

Johannes's actions that betray Lindow, the independent survivor colony, and Operation Meteorite itself

I wonder if Killua is ever going to face an opponent he has to take seriously. So far the only person who's given Killua trouble is Illumi, and Illumi cowed Killua into submission before he could even begin to fight. I'd like to see Killua having to go all out.
Majin Bone achieves a good balance of hot blooded action and tender character moments, which is what makes it so special.

I'm with hosanna here. The reason why I said I gave Your Lie too many chances is I wanted to keep watching so bad, and I loved the melodramatic atmosphere and having the musical performance aspect resonated personally with me. However, having comedy in inappropriate places is NOT balance, it is terrible whiplash. Period. Because it did that time and time again, I eventually got frustrated with the show to the point where I couldn't get into the emotional parts of the show anymore. I would have less of a problem with the comedy if it wasn't so sudden and kills the mood and the purpose of the melodramatic scene. It's a shame, it could've been a part of the AOTY top 10.
You go... too far.
I get the middle one (because it's justified), but I thought people here liked Clannad AS and Your Lie in April.

You should definitely watch Majin Bone. It's a show that's criminally ignored.
nah man it's great BECAUSE non non biyori never does it.
Some people can't look over Clannad AS' ending or Your Lie in April's slapstick that conflicts with the themes.
I for one, consider those flaws that don't break the series respectively. Though, that said, i consider Clannad AS to be finished at the end of episode 21, so...
I'm trying to understand why I liked After Story yet I can't bring myself to care about Angel Beats and Charlotte. I can't explain it, lol
Probably because after story had a plot with direction and didn't try multiple different shows in the span of a single cour
I didn't hate angel beats
what makes AnimeGAF different from the rest of the world I wonder
As in the rest of the world of anime fans? I'd imagine an average age well above 12.
Is that in human years or cat years?
The wife Dayon was kinda cute in a weird way.
How many cats watch anime??
Well, sure, for you.
I experienced no whiplash ever. It worked great. It was nothing but balance.
Get on my level!
That doesn't explain GAF's love for [insert any anime].
Her appearance certainly was a surprise.

So, crunchyroll did an interview with the director of ERASED, and he said he viewed the series as a "human drama in the guise of a suspense thriller." So he apparently doesn't view it as a mystery.
Regarding the KONO DIO DA scene in the anime, well this is what it looked like in the manga. (Huge spoilers obviously.)
While that scene was definitely not great, I think the issues with ERASED are due more to the original work than the director.

He shouldn't have indulged in so many cheap thriller cliches in his presentation then.

He did admit that he wanted to leave people talking about the show every week by ending on a hook.
That aspect of the show is definitely on him.
He had been succeeding in doing that but the thrills feel too disjointed to call it a 'guise'.

Yeah, this is also my impression when reading the manga. The thriller and mystery aspect was weak, but the drama surrounding Satoru friend and his mom was great.
Well, we did talk about it every week...
Yep. We talk about it every Thursday afternoon. Also the problems with this story is more the original work than the SAO director, though he could've presented the drama part a little better.

Dan Eagleman to finally get his own show?
so I finally took a look at next season, and while there are a couple really strong looking shows, overall I don't see myself picking up a ton of shows.
only shows I plan to check out
Boku no Hero Academia (easy one I like bones, I like the manga)
Bungou Stray Dogs (the trailers look nice and again bones)
Sakamoto desu ga? (I need to see if this is funny or just dumb)
Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (I liked attack on titan a clone won't hurt until season 2
)
Sousei no Onmyouji (looks like a standard action show but should be fun enough)
Super Lovers (I am curious why the manga is rated so high)
Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari! (I love the series, but man the animation in the trailers is bad)
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Diamond wa Kudakenai (I need to burn through part 3 now as my sports shows are ending with my friend so we are gonna pick up jojo instead)
shows I may check out
Joker Game (don't know what to make of this one)
Mayoiga (I don't mind the synopsis but it's not being done by people I trust)
Kiznaiver (trigger in general is pretty miss for me and the trailer had moments that looked decent and moments that looked bad)
12-sai.: Chicchana Mune no Tokimeki (I am curious if it's anything like marmalade boy or other shows like that, but there isn't much to go off of as it seems to have very few people who pay attention to it in english speaking parts.)
Kuromukuro (I'm curious but it looked boring in trailers)
even if the shows don't pan out in spring at least I have Orange and Soma in summer
I need to catch up on dimension W (as I decided to just wait for the dub)
as well as Assclass season 2 (also watching the dub)
but erased is still easily my anime of the season.

Cause Angel Beats and Charlotte tried to cram too much stuff into a single cour show. Watch Kanon 2006 and Little Busters instead

- Big Order
- Boku no Hero Academia
- Bungou Stray Dogs
- Concrete Revolution S2
- flying witch
- Gyakuten Saiban
- JoJo Part 4
- Joker Game
- Kiznaiver
- Not Attack on Titan/Koutetsujou no Kabaneri
- Kuma Miko
- Mayoiga
- Sakamoto desu ga?
(- Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou)
13 fucking shows. Maybe 14. I am so dead.
