Prioritize Rakugo and watch Scum's Wish and Dragon Maid when you have time. You should catch up on Tiger Mask.

Rakugo Shinjuu, Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, and Scum's Wish are the seasonal shows I can personally endorse, so you look good from here.
Tiger Mask W catchup is penciled in for Saturday!
Good to hear! Feels easier to dump titles in a google doc now that's easier to refer to later rather than asking what was worth watching 9 months ago.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Hmm looks like I'm watching some "new anime" next season. Attack on Titan S2, Berserk (2017) and Atom: the beginning.
I'm hoping AoT pulls me back into the manga and I can watch Berserk so nobody else has to do it. It will be bad, but at least Schierke and Puck can provide entertainment.

Cowboy Bebop, Scum's Wish, and Your Name.
Busy, busy anime weekend.
I find it funny since it's clearly one of his better films. Much better than 5 Centimeters per Second.

Yep, this is much more likely. Since Funimation is Crunchyroll's distributor for home video, there's a good chance we'll finally see the first wave of Crunchyroll's releases tomorrow, including Free S1. I wonder what else Funimation has in store for May?

"This is the final fantasy!!"
That is a real line in a Final Fantasy game. I'll give you a hint. It didn't release last year.

See... It's funny because I feel people are always praising it. Had people on Twitter even respond telling me how wrong I was about it.
I understand what it's about. I understand what he was going for. I understand it was raw and real. But I think I detailed pretty well in my Your Name post why I don't like it.
And plus I am too much of a romantic.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 1 (Subtitled) Episode 38 Evil Eye Activates. Relinquished
One of the most distracting things in this is hearing it called Sacrfice or Time Bomber, yet the subs say Relinquished or Time Bomber, its even more distracting when they use a whole string of english (Relinquished and Black Magician). I wonder what was Konami thinking in some of these naming choices.
Im glad were done with the mind shuffling, Im ready for some pure unadulturated dueling without any of these parlor tricks.

Agreed. That's why I've kept yearly text documents since 2013 in which I keep track of any anime that looks interesting enough for me to check out sometime.

Hideous? But it makes JPN look so good and make me want to actually go there, the city and school looks so wonderful.
And the attacks with Break and Bind were so awesome. You should have kept going as some of the best moments are still in Episode 1.
Heh, I still write it down on a piece of paper.
Basically.

Seiren ep.6
"Deer mating" scene was great, but everything else about this girl is just bad. Even the first arc tie-in was terrible.

Tales of Zestiria the X and Blue exorcist kyoto arc are both really good.
His complaint seems to be people in japan just keep rewatching it rather than watching other stuff.
Me...I liked it quite a lot. I'm not sure its my favourite of his films though. I keep coming back to Garden. I basically like all his films though, he's my favourite anime film-maker. Has been for a while.
Not interested in Blue Exorcist at the moment but good call about the Tales anime. Been keeping an eye on it since duckroll said it was better than reading Ted Chiang.

What makes you believe we will get to see more then a Free! s1 announcement tomorrow?
Good choice.
Tiger Mask has been doing a fine job with side events. Although the next episode appears to be more serious.
What was the point of the chase if the courtyard isn't sealed off at all, and is actually open to the forest? It's like entering a door suspended erected on the ground without any walls around it because it's a door????

This accurately describe why 5 Centimeters Per Second didn't grab me. Instead of making me empathize with the main character, it feels like a cautionary tale instead.
Maybe that smile at the end is a sign of him finally letting go, but that is too little too late
Though I have to admit I would not be as deeply invested in Your Name's resolution were it not watched for that movie.
If it was any other writer I would just be "of course they'd meet each other". Instead I was holding hands with my friend going all "no no don't you dare do what you do, Shinkai".

Scum's Wish 2
What... The actual fuck... Is wrong with the people in this show?
This is like Toradora, just with a bunch of ecchi tendencies.
God... This show is so messed up.
I really like Garden a lot too. Maybe the movie will come down the list as I have more time to ponder on it. I did like the movie a lot though. Maybe it's because I had high expectations of Garden of Words, but had middling expectations for Your Name.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Subtitled) Episode 68 Versus Edo (Part 2) Flare Neos of Fire
Perfect episode set for the return of Juudai to society. Edo also grew on me extensively through this whole duel. I hope he continues to have some type of presence. Best duel for Juudai since his Manjoume ones.

Because bad people take issue with good things.
LWA: Bad
3gatsu: Good
Tanya: Fascist
Interviews: Dull
Konosuba: Funny
Rakugo: I'm getting kind of bored of this, actually. 3rd generation is no match for 2nd generation.
Scum's Wish: AOTY
I'm more interested in how Tohru's tail works in her human form than the entirety of LWA.

Yeah. Exactly.
Hahaha. I was saying that towards the end of Your Name, too.
My roommate towards the end was like "Stop. Recommending. Me stuff like this!" I told him it's not my fault. A few seconds before they turned and started talking to each other at the end we were like, "Shinki...you motherf-----!"
Oh high school...
It makes me think of White Album 2 for some reason.
So did you notice the crossover with Garden?
Thanks, that's what I thought, I just wanted someone else to validate my opinion.
Funimation typically announces slates of new titles around the middle of every month or so. If it's not tomorrow, it will be soon after.

Let the record show that I don't like it, but I acknowledge it's more of a personal preference deal. Still gave it a 7 on MAL, because besides the ending, it's technically a fine movie.

One Punch Man - FINISHED
That was amazing, though it seemed to taper off a bit towards the end. The true brilliance of the show was Genos and Saitama, and how they played off of each other. I loved their relationship, and hope we get to see much more of it in the future. What I didn't enjoy towards the end of the first season was the introduction of all these new heroes. None were particularly interesting to me, or at least not interesting enough to take screentime away from my main man Genos and Saitama. I was also a little bummed the first season ends with almost everyone thinking Saitama is a scrub. I'm drooling at the mouth waiting for the moment that must surely come, when Saitama shows off his prowess in front of other S-Class heroes.

If he did that the primary joke of the series would be ruined

Just made it past the recap episode of Gintama. Hata dubbing Takasugi's voice had me cracking up.

White Album, huh? I have that in my queue but never started it...
Ummm... I don't recall seeing one. But than again, I wasn't really focusing on the call outs his other movies. When I get the movie on Blu-Ray I'll give it another look.
I don't know if I can recommend it...
I don't think I can't recommend it either...
It's just...different.

I wonder how they'll pace the second season. The manga started to draw out the few villains and battles that came afterwards. Not surprising, when there's only so much you can do with the one-punch-line but when Saitama becomes a smaller part I consider that a detriment.
Btw., have you seen Mob Psycho 100 yet? Highly recommended here and even won our 2016 AotY award.

Yes, yes you should. Just beware there is a lot of ecchi, the characters are all fucked in the head and the main antagonist is as evil of a bitch as you can get. Also, the show can make you feel very uncomfortable with everything that happens and its presentation.
Fuuka shares a lot with White Album 2 from what I've seen already. Although they won't make it to graduation, lol.
Death Parade ep.6
Well, those are seriously fucked up ways to die. At least the post credits scene was pretty damn funny stuff.

I took issue with it because it was what the third or 4th time that he merely extended the formula to Voices of a Distant Star to far longer than it needed to be *shrugs*
