Guess I should've been more specific. I meant it as in "strange and unique, but more far more approachable still nowhere near as cryptic as the author's other works".
I'll see for myself once I'm done watching both Utena and YuriKuma.

Was Cross Ange not hot blooded enough?

Looking at the source, it doesn't seem to be specifically about hot blooded, but about "most emotional" shows.

I wouldn't really consider Yurikuma to be much more cryptic than Penguindrum. If anything, I think it wears its themes on its sleeve even more so than Penguindrum did.

The Vision of EscaFlowne Episode 1
Glad the cheesy school romance stuff is over, wasnt exciting or interesting, especially since the love interest wasnt even that attractive.
Immediately got exciting once Van took the stage, and voiced by my favorite funi VA in recent times, made it better than ever. Van is really cool. I hope he stays the lead, seemed questionable considering how he didnt seem like a love interest in the ED...kind of worrying.

So it'd bad enough Iok is a righteous idiot, he's also an unlikeable asshole.
It's almost like you want to be the hatesink in IBO.
Oh and
Guess I shouldn't be surprised when that happens.

ignoring Naze's attempts to surrender unconditionally, using illegal railguns to attack the Hammerhead and its retreating escape shuttles, even when Julieta is in the way of the attack.
Oh and
Lafter is probably gonna die soon enough.

It's pretty much an essential episode for understanding everything that will happen.
As for why its placed there after the end of Episode 8? Welcome to Ikuhara.

Well, it's not like you can expect them to be able translate Japanese.
I'd agree based on what I've seen of YuriKuma so far (up to ep7), but I wasn't going to jump to conclusions being only halfway through the show.
One thing I really like from the director's shows is how title cards are always shown at the end of an episode. Having them there is much more organic than showing the title at the start of an episode, since titles themselves are often pretty likely to spoil you on whatever's going to happen. Say, even though it was for only one episode, TTGL managed to use that to great effect.
Haha... fail. For a change, the chest isn't where it's at.

Really weird seeing this pop up on a random Australia show I'm watching on Netflix because TV shows usually hide TV screens or just create fake TV for the characters to watch:
I'm guessing someone just asked for something random though, since it's credited as "Anime footage" lol:

Made my AOTY post
Didn't get to watch most of what I wanted to check out, so I couldn't make a full list of 10. But I did want to highlight the shows that I really did enjoy from 2016.
They probably laid off everyone who could have properly handled that.

I continue to hope for the day that that digimon series comes to streaming platforms. I have no way to watch it otherwise. It sounds so amazing.

Bungo Stray Dogs 22
The meta-mystery was silly, but entertainingly so. I liked the development it gave to Rampo's character by dealing with his insecurity about whether he's actually gifted or not. Now that we're in full finale mode, I wonder if the last two episodes will deal any with the Guild's backstory after Herman alluding to the organization having deteriorated over time, not to mention elaborate any more on the nature of the book Francis is after.

DAI-GUARD Episode 6
I hope the army's Dai guard is worst than this Dai Guard, no one can pilot a Dai Guard better than the original 3.
This weeks Heterodyne had a great ability, hope we get even more creative in the future.

It really is a shame. I continue to be baffled by Toei. They seem to think they can find someone to get a TV deal for it or something, which is laughably absurd.
I just had a thought. When it comes to TV series, do you think that if a person's 10 point score is lower than the number of episodes in that series the person watched, that it is evidence said person is not making good use of free time? Deep thoughts.

Gargantia ep.1
That was an awesome opening episode. From the battle to the escape, that was pretty damn cool stuff. The story premise is pretty cool as well; this could be fun!
A shame they didn't go with gothic horror Poe though. But I guess they already have like two horror characters in the show.
Probably smart to go the detective route given Rampo had no real opposition and, well, his namesake.

The music in this show is excellent. It's also a really pretty show to look at! It took awhile to ramp up, but that display of technology, firepower and precision was exactlyvwhat I loved about the battles in Gate; utter domminance.

Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Fantastic/10
Brought memories of my childhood. I devoured this series. Until the unfortunate event happened: my little village never got the sequels (I stopped reading at The Miserable Mill, I think in my country it was called Lugar Tenebroso). I was pretty upset back then, but I am glad that Netflix is letting me see the rest of the story. Surprisingly enough, I remembered a lot of the plot of the first 3 books, even though I read them 15-16 years ago.

Looking for some horror recs.
I love Shiki, Another, Hellsing and really enjoyed Ghost Hunt.
That is probably the extent of horror that I have seen. I would prefer more modern ones!

The real Poe is perhaps most well known for his dark horror stories, but he also wrote some of the earliest detective stories. He pretty much founded the genre of detective fiction in the form that would later become common through the work of Conan Doyle and others. So this fictional version of him is highly appropriate in that sense.
For modern I recommend Yami Shibai and the first season of Kagewani.
For old-school I recommend Vampire Princess Miyu TV.
And although not strictly speaking horror, Mononoke does have some horror-ish elements but you should watch it anyway because it's fucking amazing.
