Not that I don't respect the opinions of others here who genuinely enjoy it and think it's good, but these guys are the ones who really know their stuff and have the experience when it comes to the genre as a whole. Corvo and Jexhius have voiced their opinions on IBO, saying that it's following the usual Sunrise formula of modern real-robot Gundam shows to a T and I'd be better off getting back to something like Turn A or Escaflowne.
I'm not avoiding it because I think it'l be bad, I just don't have an interest in it.
It's on my backlog. I am planning on getting to it.
Well actually they have, and I'm planning on giving them a shot sometime.

Well it's currently still airing which probably gives it a huge advantage in voting. For decent amount of voters it's probably only Gundam show they have seen (youngest voters)
Getting commentaries and extras typically cost extra money to license, so the majority of companies don't even bother with them anymore. Sometimes extra OVAs or short episodes end up belonging to another company entirely, which the liscenser may not be willing to spend the extra time negotiating with. This happened with Sentai's release of the first season of Gatchaman Crowds, which is missing the director's cut of the final episode. Yes, I'm still upset about it!
Commentaries in particular are difficult, since not only do they cost extra to license and are difficult to subtitle (you don't really have a script to work from there), but there's all sorts of legal complications involved. If for example, one seiyu's agency doesn't want the commentary being released overseas for whatever reason, it won't happen. This happened with some anime where the seiyu was starting to focus on her music career, and her agency wouldn't approve of the commentary being released, or something. It sounds like it could get messy.
It really does suck that anime releases tend to be pretty barebones for special features these days, but that's just the state of the industry, I guess. Though speaking of anime discs with great extras, Cinelicious Pics' release of Belladonna of Sadness has some fantastic interviews included! Though they're a company that's trying to compete more within the Criterion market, so I understand why they would.
Gabriel Droput 5
Heaven is once again screwed as Satania shows why she's the future demon lord.
What is with this season having the wrong protagonists? Satania dominates Gabriel Dropout, and Akko is LWA isn't doing anything worthy of a protagonist aside from getting into trouble.

Despite my better judgement, I bought the first volume Magical Girl Site.
It fucking sucks. I don't think I can finish this volume
The manga trys so hard to be dark and edgy, it just comes across as hilarious.
It also doesn't help how bland the protaganist is.
There is nothing to her but "every beats her for no reason".

I guess. For me though it felt like consuming gaming as only a set of technical benchmarks. Thank fully eventually I was able to stop and only turn that switch on when needed / when I felt like it.
There were mecha fights in S1?
Yes and a fair amount of them to boot.
Little Witch Academia 05
Everyone's so down on this episode, but I enjoyed it plenty. Some good gags with Fafnir, which got actual lols from me.
Akko's stupid hotheadedness and Diana's impossible perfection are certainly heightened here, but I at least did not find it annoying. The ineptness of the school administration, on the other hand, went a bit far, in my opinion...I wonder how serious this "magic is fading from the world" thing is going to be, and how much that's connected with Luna Nova's fading fortunes. Originally I thought the endgame for this series would be a "Let's save the school with youthful enthusiasm and willingness to challenge established tradition!" thing, but now a larger scale seems somewhat possible.

Gundam IBO has to be doing something right. My wife detests most of the Gundam I've shown her, but she absolutely loves IBO. It and G Gundam are the only ones she really really likes
She likes what little she's seen of Origin, and liked the second movie in the Original Gundam Trilogy, she hated 1 and 3. She also thinks my favorite, 0083, is okay. Just okay.

I finished watching Death Note.
That was really fun, I enjoyed it a lot, except for a twist in the middle that took things in another direction and the ending was a bit of a let down. I really liked the mostly sensible human character designs (by anime standards, I guess).
Let's see, in the last couple of years I've watched (shows that are already over):
HunterXHunter
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Planetes
(some) Space Brothers
(some) YuYu Hakusho
Samurai Champloo
Gurren Lagann
Fullmetal Alchemist
Berserk (90s)
Yamato 2199
And Death Note
I sure have watched a lot of stuff. I liked most of that. Space Brothers I abandoned because of its glacial pace, and YYH because I felt like I had watched enough YYH after the tournament arc was over.
Out of those, I I liked LOGH, Planetes, HxH and Samurai Champloo the best, probably in that order.
Wonder what else semi-recent stuff I've missed that is worth a watch (of stuff that is over). I tried to give the highly-praised Shirobako a try but I quit very early on with all the senpai! shit and the generic sameface girly designs. In my case the fewer anime tropes there are the better, I think.

My lamenting of mecha's death has sort of diminished as of late due to the rise of several appealing mecha properties appearing as of late. Time-Bokan 24, Tomica Hyper Rescue Drive, and especially Megaton Musashi.
Super Robots are making a comeback. It's slow, but I'm glad to see these shows being made regardless.
Shirobako is great. And maybe the girls look kinda similar, but compared to a lot of shows out there, they have some pretty damn realistic designs, some that are based off of actual people. I'd recommend the show to anyone that's been watching anime for awhile, it gives you a new appreciation for the medium in terms of what it covers of how difficult it can be to create one. And generally speaking, it's refreshing to watch a show that tackles life after high school, where shit gets real.

My Hero Academia is super amazingly awesome, it has the best Hero in the entire world in it.
other then that
Noragami, Haikyu and Poco's Udon World are really really good.

Watch Garo the Animation.
Rage of Bahamut might be up his alley too.

Im about to hop on the Tales of Zestiria train. Let's see if AnimeGaf has led me astray
Yes but we want to pace it so that if he likes it, he can join us for S2 in April. Recommend it too soon and he'll finish it and disappear from this thread again by then!

That a no then?
Cheers.I've seen Zero. Very enjoyable.
That seems to be of a piece with the history of ambitious shounen heroes. Remember Luffy declaring he'd be King of the Pirates while floating around in a barrel? Naruto going on about being Hokage after literally flunking out of ninja school?
I'm sure it's a fine show but when it comes to anime and me if the aesthetics don't click I'm just gonna be turned off. I might give it another chance at some point.
I think I'll check MHA, heard good things. And Mob Psycho 100 too for that matter, since I really liked OPM.
I thought the same thing... and then I watched Ping Pong.

Mob Psycho is a treasure, so yea go for that one.
Hey that's pretty neat.
Thing is I did a random search for Rage of Bahamut and got a different idea.

Tales of Zestiria the X - Episode 1
GOOD LORD THAT ANIMATION!!!!!
It's so fucking good. Ufotable does not disappoint.

Garo is a better show than Bahamut. Bahamut is prettier show than Garo. The Garo movie is the best of both worlds. Hopefully the new Bahamut series is even better!
Garo is based on a Japanese tokusatsu (live action effects heavy) TV franchise. Rage of Bahamut is based on a mobile card game.
Somehow both ended up being pretty solid dark fantasy TV anime... by the same studio. Lol.

Given your propensity for dark action anime, I would recommend checking out Code:Breaker, Noragami, and Bungo Stray Dogs in addition to the Garo the Animation recommendation from above.

Yeah I love Ufotable and I have just had a lot of catching up and am finally getting to it. I have been looking for a fantasy anime anyway so this hit at the right time
Yeah we are all really excited about him here! Thought he was a good pick even though I'm not really a fan of the show

BEYBLADE episode 12
We need more Kai's, firm but always knows his teammates strengths.

It's a really plain episode. In spite of introducing a new character it feels like the same routines being played out for the umpth time already. Some people blame the main character but really the entire cast is just very one note and the situations never push their boundaries enough.
