Dammit I was so sure Orange was a 12 episode show and binged all the dub since I thought it was finished...only to see that I played myself and that it's 13 episode 
the 16th is so far away.

Does Orange never not become a gross show where a happily married wife in the future tells her past self to save her friend by banging him?
GoldCrusader

Well if it can save your friend from
committing suicide
they really do love each other and are just too bad at saying it
Yeah but wouldn't that mean she's
killing her own child? If that's the case then

They do say they don't change the future and that it's all parallel worlds, so her baby is all safe! I mean you don't really kill him if he never existed in your world.
Did they make improvements on the BD? Some of the episodes in the middle were kinda rough when it aired...

That's not...quite what is going on...
No. They establish that them
changing the past is effectively making a parallel timeline and not really saving him in their own timeline.

?
you can save someone without changing the life you had. A high school crush compared to years you've spent with your husband and your baby does not equate.
It's a weird premise. I find it gross.

Zestiria - 3-4
This all works so much better as an anime. Again, a couple more scenes were added that made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable
Berseria - 1 & 2 Zestiria - 5-6
Digged it. Not enough to make me run and preorder the game but it seems interesting plot wise.

They never actually say to drop her current husband to go out with Kakeru in her present. They actually never tell to Naho in any letter whatsoever that she married Suwa. All the letters Naho got says are events that happens which sometimes come with suggestions(like don't let him come with us so he can go see his mother). The one actively saying to his present-self to bring Naho and Kakeru together is the Suwa of the futur.

Dragon Maid 01
Okay, that was way better than I thought it would be. Tohru is legitimately adorable. From the PV I thought the show was going to be stupid but it actually ended up being pretty good.
Konosuba S2 01
Well... that was okay I guess. The OP was funnier/better than anything in the episode. Hopefully the rest of the season is a return to form.

LMAO
this just went from gross to
Cuck
time travel
Oh it's one of those time travel stories.
I still find it weird
because well I dunno, I'd find it hard press to say you can erase my child from an alternate timeline just because I really liked this one girl. You can argue if it's killing someone if they never existed but eh webbly wobbly timey whammy stuff I guess, still seems wrong to me.
EDIT: Okay I just saw your post to Admiral, Gold. WHAT?!
I suppose it was a good thing I was half asleep when I watched the movie on my flight back to England haha.

Well to be fair, from what they say at around episode 10,
they aren't even sure their letters ever reached their past self and can't confirm at all. Also like it was said previously they can't change their future because of parallel worlds and all, so the getting rich scheme seems like a completely stupid idea.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes.
Happy birthday!

Thunderbolt Fantasy 2
Now this is more like it. Banter from beginning to end, nearly. I liked the writing of the fighting that made up the latter third or so of the episode - whereas in other fighting sequences I might get annoyed by characters just standing around talking to each other, here the writing is good enough to sell that. It was great how character after character just kept showing up, and they had their own delightful eccentric personalities. There was even some nice visual touches to the depiction of the archer's use of his bow.
That sudden cliffhanger at the end was pretty hilarious though.

Thunderbolt Fantasy will go down in history as the show everybody loved Sawano.

That was awesome. Kamina is a crazy bastard and poor Simon gets roped behind him. Still he seems to be learning from these situations and becoming more and more crafty and dependable.

Man, I love the designs of the mecha in TTGL that got introduced in that episode. Kittan's banana man robot and the walking knife with legs (take a guess what that's suppose to represent, hehe) are GOAT-tier robots that do awesome stuff in the show.
Like, in North America? Funimation released it on BD a few months back.
Also, happy birthday BGBW!
Sawano SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS!

Rage of the Bahamut;Genesis- END
I'm interested to see where they go with season 2
Well, that was a pretty damn fun ride to a finish. Nothing ended the way I thought it would so tgat element of surprise was really good. Also, by the end , all of the characters were pretty endearing (even the loli zombie), which is tough in a 12 episode show.

I feel like the show suffered being so short. The second season will hopefully do much better seeing as its 24 ep.

Not nearly enough Kaisei in that PV for my liking. PA Works are officially on notice.

Indeed. They go all out on this episode too.

Feelsbadman. Poor Simon had his heart broken.
Also that one thing that I was spoiled on happens here. The fight itself was phenomenal, even though the ending was so sad.

The ending was pretty quick, but it was a good stoppibg point where the current issue was resolved. At the same time, they left a ton of room for additional content and more questions to be answered. I mean, Amira
had a 5 year olds brain stuck in a 20 year old's body, but she suddenly matures into an adult to kiss him at the end????
It was a cute scene, but full of holes from the previous plot.
Oooooooh niiiiiiiiiiiiice. Hope it's the GARO of 2017.

TTGL episode 8 is probably one of the best emotional roller-coasters I've ever seen in an anime.
The latter half of this episode was when I knew I was watching something special. I was in a complete state of utter shock.
Also, if you think all the fights you've seen up until now have been impressive, I cannot wait for you to watch episode 15.
Get outta here, really? This makes my day. It had one of my favorite first episodes in years based on its animatography, motion, set pieces, character design, plot (stupid me thinking this would continue, am I right?). I hope people give it a chance past its terrible...horrible source content.

The date sequence was excellent. It had exactly the kind of visual balance and sharp editing I've come to expect from the best of Igarashi's style, and Iwasaki's plaintive piano and strings music made it emotionally effective as well. I really love the ritualistic repetitions Igarashi has employed in this series.
Next episode looks to be an animation powerhouse.

What a roller coaster indeed, and I'd say this one was another one. The extremely gloomy look in Simon's eyes, the depression that hit everyone so hard after what happened... and then when Simon finds Nia in the rain, and as they speak, you slowly see the light coming down. And Old Coco is still around LOL!!! And that ending?! What a bombshell ahaha.
