I actually feel the opposite to you - Hand Shakers is just the natural evolution of the GoHands visual style that defines almost all of their works since Mardock Scramble. Which is to say:
- A violently garish colour palette with no apparent understanding of traditional colour design
- Overuse of filters
- Terrible lighting
- Overuse of digital photography effects, specifically in relation to focus
- Terrible composition
- Extremely distracting and obvious CG
- Lots of 3D camerawork
I'd say K, which is a bad looking show, demonstrates these tendencies as well. Hand Shakers is just an even more extreme version of this aesthetic:

There's a sequel, but it seems to have new couples in it, including hair bun girls' brother.

I've been upset over it for like two hours because I thought this was just about a trip to the library.

Lol, Freddie please.
Ahh damn Youtube/Toho removed the "doki stop me now" AMV that someone did for episode 3 of Little Witch Academia=/ It was such a good fit too, considering the episode title.
Oh, didn't mean much by the "mary sue" comment for Akko, just something that I saw people tagging Akko with elsewhere. Akko is pretty lovable for a protagonist though! A character that I can really get behind, though maybe I shouldn't have used the tag for her..whoops.
The Great Passage: 3-5
The romance, I am just like who caaaaareeeeees. Seriously, those two have so little rapport with each other, and the show just wants to shove this romance in my face? pfffft.
The next big thing is the probable cancellation of the dictionary and the team's attempt to gain enough connection to sway the company from it. It's a shame so much of it happened in a montage as I feel like I missed way too many things, especially regarding Nishioka. It's a shame because episode 5 is really good, and had the previous episodes been on point, it would have been a great way to cap off Nishioka's development. As it stands though, it feels unearned.

Ehh, I gave it a fair shake but I think I'm dropping. I'm fine with slow burns, but this actually feels like its never going anywhere.
It's not good enough as a slice of life either. Oh well.

I'm not gonna lie, I was sorely tempted to pre-order both Nendodroid's that were coming out and just listing my ship address here in the states.

What the hell, there's a live action Saki?
I guess they can't find someone with giant breasts.
I also wonder how they dealt with the overwhelming yuri, no pantsu, and DBZ-style transformations. lol

Live action Saki will never work.

The TV show is "out there". It looks like a Japanese show alright. lol

They clearly weren't looking at the right sites...
Would you say that your interest in continuing this show has been... cancelled?
Yes, I'm not sure why I bothered with episode 3.
That's a good man.

Can confirm, Japan does not have breasts
I just want to reiterate that the voice acting for KonoSuba, and along with it the VA direction, is fucking excellent.
can someone explain this to me?
so it was announced sailor moon crystal was getting a sequel.
it sounds like it will be season 2.
but crystal and season 3 already exist
aka why are they airing season 1 season 3 and then season 2?

Remember when we were all speculating about what anime Crunchyroll owned the home video rights for? Well, it seems like they have their fingers in a lot more pies than we thought.
They couldn't possibly release all of these, and the rights may vary from title to title, but nonetheless that's still a lot of titles that they're listed as the Master Licensee for.

S2 is part of the first anime, S4 is next.
Mawaru Penguindrum - Ep. 3
Yeah, stalker girl really is insane. I guess her diary is Penguindrum?
Cardcaptor Sakura - Ep. 47-48
Back to episodic stuff. I guess the rest of the show is now about transfromtin her cards, which I guess is important for some reasons.
Twin Star Exorcists - Ep. 29
This isn't looking too good for Sae. Ihave the feeling that the next episodes are going to be very sad.

Wait they have Haikyu season 3? I would hope for a dub, but haha I can only dream. As it ever happen that a company releases a dub for a title they only owned one of the later season?Maybe they can push Sentai to fucking dub it. Fuck Sentai I hate them for releasing Haikyu sub-only.
Twin star and Poco's Udon World BD and dub when?

Super Lovers BD and engdub when?

I should do my mahouka koukou rewatch just like jp. Instead of just rereading the LNs.

Only Seitokai Yakuindomo can save us now.
by being too low budget for maxium GoHands-ness
Their track record over the years has been questionable as well.

Has Meiko Kaji ever done any Anime song? I'm listening to The Flower of Carnage, seems like a Kill Bill soundtrack song, and it's haunting.
Made it to episode 19 of FMA:Brotherhood.
Not sure if it better or if I'm just getting more nto the characters, but I'm enjoying it a bit more. Had a couple of well animated action sequences, but most of it is still talking heads. I think I'd be more into it if it had a more realistically proportioned style. I guess in the end it's a kids' show.

I am more of a shonen action type every season except for last(to me) seems to have one or 2 really great shows to watch for me

Tales of Zestiria the X
Twin star exorcist
Blue exorcist season 2
Gundam IBO
élDLIVE
Akiba's trip
Are all excellent!
If you did no yet watch My Hero Academia, watch that and prepare for the season 2 in spring 2017. It's the best shonen.

You mean the current season's lineup? We are in winter right now.
Blue Exorcist Season 2 matches your shounen preference the most, but the pacing so far in the second season has been pretty bad.
Tales of Zestiria the X S2 (it's muuuuch better than the game)
Gundam Iron-blooded Orphans S2 has some sick action but there's also a lot of garbage inbetween, so I can't exactly recommend it without those caveats
Pls don't watch Handshakers if you value your eyesight and sanity.

What? In my viewing of episode 1 I found it to be really exciting and really delivered on great action spectacle and drama. It shouldnt be pushed aside for raising the bar on animated perfection.

I'll just piggy-back on everyone else:
Tales of Zestiria the X
Twin star exorcist
Blue exorcist season 2
Akiba's trip (fanservice-y, but fun)
I've read that, partly why I decided to read the book before watching the movie heh. It ended up such that my mind filled in all the silent moments of the film with his monologues.

I saw "Bang Dream" and male popstars and said "hells no," lol
About time that you can pause the game. I guess it also has an easy mode in that world.
