In this context, I think you can take idiosyncratic to be equivalent to eccentric.

Too often.
Mushishi is a tough show to binge watch. The mood of it doesn't really work when you cram multiple episodes together.
Windy Tales is an excellent show, and while the art style may seem off-putting, it can lead to really beautiful animation.

Buranki - 11
The explanation for Reoko's backstory was more tragic than I expected. She's like the Batman of this Buranki world.
I'm liking the small cracks that is beginning to show within the teams, rather by nationality the teams may very well be reorganized by ideology.
There were some weird character 'twists', that left me kinda confused. Not sure if that's because it's something I've missed or if it is yet to be explained.

A character whose primary defining traits are "gets flustered" and "big boobs" isn't making a good argument for herself.
But if she gives me a few more faces like the above, she might be able to justify her existence.

God Eater 12: UNITED THEY STAND
Lenka doesn't fuck around anymore, what an entrance this guy makes!
Best Commander
Best Fighter
Best Psychologist who is able to cure emotional traumas with just a cool speech
Best Boy?
---------
In this and the previous episode I kinda lost track of what's happening because of the long break. When the "EVIL INSIDE JOB HACKER" was revealed I had to ask myself. "who is this guy again?". Still don't really know what's up with all that, what was his motive again? I can't see there's a lot to be gained for a human to actively screw over humanity, but hey. Russian (which in this show only means that you know how to make borscht) Doctor probably has a good reason.
Also didn't really follow the whole "This is God's doing" part of the flashback. God created Aragami to "reset" humanity, but also saved the guy so he can destroy the Aragami??? I mean, get your act together God! It's one or the other.
I wonder which witty one-liner a one-armed Lindow will say when he comes back.
"need a hand kid?"
GOOD episode though.

Re: Zero definitely makes use of tropes but I'd say that it largely avoids relying on them and often develops them beyond just the base that most shows never get past. As I said before however, depending on how they adapt it, it could lose a lot of that. If they focus on fan-service or leering shots and boob physics which the manga and LN never did and change the personalities so that MC and MH don't have their playful banter and she's a shy wilting flower then a lot of the why of his relation with her will make no sense.
These were the same people who were bouncing around on top of a flying transport plane earlier in the series, which must've been traveling over 100 mph just to avoid stalling and crashing, yet somehow they weren't all blown off to their deaths. Anime Physics, I guess.

Yo guys, is there some website where I can read up on the meaning of the most commonly used sound onomatopoeia in manga and anime (usually in katakana)? Like "jiiiiiiii" for staring etc. Some are self-explanatory from the sound but not all.
God Eater - Episode 12
This series keeps circling back to all the worst things about it. Every time I think that they're distancing themselves from the awful parts of the writing, they dive right back into it. The first part of the episode was pretty tolerable because it was mostly just a prolonged boss fight, and Lenka showing off his huge newdick gun. It's totally ridiculous and over the top, but at least it's just being dumb shounen action.
But then alas, midway through it has to be "dramatic" again and the only way the show seems to know how to do that is to use Alisa in the worst ways possible. I really fucking hate watching the show think that what they do with Alisa is remotely considered good storytelling. It's incredibly predictable in all the worst ways. So once again we have her breaking down when it matters most, and then shaking, crying, apologizing, except this time Lenka having leveled up 50000 times in the last few episodes puts his 9999 points of Leadership into good use by activating the skill Pep Talk and single handedly cures her of all trauma and doubt. WOW LENKA IS SO AMAZING. Fuck off.
Only one episode left, can't wait for everyone to die next week so I'm done with this garbage.

I don't know a specific website but Kanji de manga explains which kana writing means what in manga.
Also, if you can read Katakana you can just google?

But then I gotta spend like 5 minutes learning how to type katakana! Yeh, maybe I should just do that.
Just wanted to get a bit more info like that upfront, though. That Kanji de manga seems neat, though that might be a bit excessive actually.

That was such a major troll, considering how hard they played Elizabeth leaving. lol
Isn't the blond scientist guy the main baddie ? He saw Lindow sneaking on Aegis and set up the entire situation, brainwashing guy is probably just his minion. Similarly, I took the flashback scene as the depiction of the moment when he firmly went over to the cuckoo land.
I thought for sure he would be swimming with fishes but with how they "killed" him offscreen you're probably right.
God Eater 12
I find it hilarious that they left Lindow to fend off Pita yet they haven't even managed to get to the village in time he bought them. Just what you'd expect from master strategist Lenka.
Alisa and Lindow's farewell were the painful parts but I liked Lenka's entrance, the insert song worked very well.

Oof yeah. Mushishi is a great show, but after two or three episodes my desire to go further just plummets.

Oh yeah, I vaguely remember the Lindow sneaking bit now. I completely forgot about all the intrigue but what you said makes a lot of sense, thanks.
Hope they don't spend that much more time on it because I don't care about it at this point lol.

Weirdly enough, despite my general unfavorable opinion on episodic shows, Mushishi grew on me so much, that I actually binge watched large parts of season 2.

Has there been a shitty, trashy harem series in the past few seasons? Just want to some background noise on now that Daredevil is over and those are always the easiest to not pay attention to. lol
god eater 12
Even the game handled PTSD stuff better than this shit, lolol. No subtlety whatsoever, she just snaps back with MC-samas words right on the spot.
So in one episode they kill Pita AND deal with Aegis? How they are gonna do that lol. End of God Eater announcement incoming?

Like 20 more books of material. The anime covered the first arc (first 3 novels). There's like 21 novels worth of material.
Testament of Sister New Devil seems up your alley. There's two seasons of it.

There were two shitty school of fighting LN anime just last season if you missed them.
Can't remember their names, but one was Not Star Wars and the other one was like a Knight's some bullshit
Pita's going to get to Aegis and merge with the Aisha core turning into a giant 8 winged final boss with choir music.

Phantom World? Dunno how harem-ish it really gets but episode 1 even had a clever (read: lame) twist on the girl falls on MC trope. So it should suffice in that regard.

There is currently the airing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, haven't seen it though. Then previous season we had Gakusen Toshi Asterisk, Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry, Shinmai Maou no Testament: Burst (S2),
stealth edit: Shomin Sample also, which was pretty funny sometimes
pick your poison
With that edge you would fit right in !

Who knew the DTL show of the season would also be the anime of the season.
Arakawa Under the Bridge 01
Well I already knew the opening of this show is one of the best there is but at least so far the content itself is of similar pedigree. I was giggling throughout and finally lost it at the entire kappa conversation. Great stuff. Shaft is Gods.
But why do they have to use Kamiya for everything -_- I've grown tired of hearing his voice by now.
They talked about the Devouring Apocalypse which is not possible without a certain character so yeah, I'm thinking of a second season, movie or something. Unless the staff continue to rewrite the story.

I need to watch this again, I remember season 1 being amazing and season 2 not living up to season 1.
edit: oh hey it's on hulu. I'll try to start it up again tomorrow.

That reminds me that I should continue the show. Am a couple episodes in and it's...alright.
Asterisk and Cavalry something?

PW isnt a harem tho and its actually *good*
Plenty. Asterisk War and the other Not-Asterisk War that came out last season should fulfill your trash harem needs.
If you just need trash without the harem theres also Konosuba

Amusingly Asterisk and Cavalry weren't that bad. For trashy pseudo-science/fantasy harem fighto shows you can, and I have done, a lot worse.
