Nisemonogatari Karen Bee Arc 1-3
It was nice seeing almost everyone again. Mayoi still teasing Araragi name was good and we even had some nice fanservice courtesy of Kanbaru. Nadako was my favorite from Bake and seeing her new appearance was cute, but I am going to miss her hat. Twister scene was enjoyable too. Glad to see Hitagi's threatning again and it was amusing when she chained up Araragi. Didn't know she was scared by Hanakawa though.
Openings were okay with Ep 3 being the best so far.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita 1
Good episode. Loved the opening song, though not much of a fan of the ending
The story immediately dropping how mankind is on verge of exticintion would have made this really depressing if it wasn't for the art style and the characters themselves anyway. The Mediator herself definitely does look alot better with long hair and I enjoy her comments about everything so far. The faires themselves are adorable. If I ever find a plushie of them while out shopping I would definitely pick one of them up.
The bread scene completely caught me off-guard. Laughed when the receptionist asked them to eat the bread.

Taken out of context this sound hilarious.

It's a mecha anime, but it's very funny and parodies a lot of the typical tropes of the genre and melodramatic stuff. It's far more interested in telling stories with the characters and making jokes than with typical mecha action.

Podcast should be called "Monocles and Mustaches" just to confuse the fuck out of people.
It's the January season. It's always crap - or at least always has fewer new shows and doesn't tend to have "tentpole" series as they start in April or October.
Ishida & Asakura 3
Mindblown that reveal.The girl is actually a dad and has a trunk, I cant even
At least no flowershop joke.
Ouch, poor Mr. teeth gettting destroyed again. The way the last word in the episode was said nailed it.

Tomodachi wa Mahou
This seems like a really fun idea. We should do it.
It's not like we'd be talking about SAO on there. Don't doom it before it even begins.
Need some DTL reviews in there.
Sometimes fortune smiles upon us all.
Because it exists!
What about sisters?
sisterly love is pure and beautiful.
I have no idea but god is that ED Cute!
Yamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Wait....a girl dressed as a catgirl? Im interested. Well, its AKB0048 anyway. Of course Im interested!
Not fond of it compared to the amazing endings that came before. Oh well.
Hahaha. What the fuck indeed. You will never know the answer to that question either!
I'm not sure. What does sleep mean? Is that when you dream about aliens?
I like Sasami and the idea behind it. Its not my favorite Shaft show by any means.
Taisho Baseball Girls!
Yakitate Japan is...baking competitions. I dunno if it could be considered a sport?
Its just you definitely.
Plenty of fun stuff this season, including a couple of surprises.
Hidamari Sketch, Galaxy Angel, good Aria, Acchi Kocchi.

Not with that attitude they wouldn't!
Why do you have to try and bring this community and their projects down?
Second person voicing in Hidamari Sketch, I'll watch it. Yakitate was hillarious, I stopped watching at some point for some reason (they were trapped inside some cave with some clown). Hmmmm, it's been long time, maybe I'll start watching it again from the beginning.
I'll add it to my list.

Clannad After Story (17-end)
Much better than Clannad, however I really hated how the resolution and such was handled.
Probably that rare exceptional case where I am against what type of vision I have for stories to be like. 8 / 10, glad I purchased and watched may revisit the anime again sometime. Solid arcs and focus and good emotions and such.

Made it feel as if all my tears and watery eyes were wasted. I was much rather intrigued to see how Tomoya would handle losing both Nagisa and then Ushio. Going back on it with the time reset made it feel as if we saw him go through all that struggle and development only for it to be abandoned because they wanted some sort of Nagisa focused ending. That had some of the most memorable scenes in the series, talking to the grandma, the summer trip moments, talking and resolving things with his dad finally, the school stuff, stuff with nagisa's parents, etc. Five years of stuff gone. At least he keeps the memories but it was all so heartwarming and emotional that I wish they kept on that same path through the ending. Oh well at least they live happily ever after, but it could have sill been achieved I think seeing how Tomoya and the people with Nagisa coped and moved on after these back to back losses

AKB0048 Next Stage - 03
When you do things like this and this it's no surprise that you'd get recognized for your effort.
Sket Dance - 64
I DID IT!!!!
I finally finished the school trip arc, while the show overall is an alright adaptation, I was sorely disappointed in the adaptation of one of the funniest parts in the arc, or should I say one of the funniest parts they didn't adapt. Now that I've recovered I can move on and not look back.

Sket Dance has story arcs? I thought it only had stand alone episodes, I might end up giving the show another shot.
Yes, adding Nadesico to your watch list is probably one of the best decisions you can make.

Yep. Ending of After Story is shit. Series was so damn perfect until that ending.
They will adapt it THEY WILL!!
They better had!!
It's a bit like Gintama where the majority of the show is episodic, but they have story arcs thrown in now and again, except not nearly as long as Gintama arcs have been.
I'll even pump it a bit in my priority list. I read few short reviews on it and it does sound good.
Ah, then I'll just skip it. :b

I'd listen to it just to hear my name called out.
You're talking about the
bath and all that stuff
I've been wondering how they managed to adapt (well, not adapt) it.
The "exclusively interested in fairies" thing is far past the point of merely being "into them"!
oh, you'll all be reminded as soon as it gets bomba price on amazon.co.jp and I can import/review it.
I never, ever, ever, ever get tired of reading new reactions to this. itadakimasu
oh, sure, they're great villains. They're just really fucking evil on a personal level that other villains weren't!

Yes that, when the moment of that part was to come, Roman just fourth wall fast forwarded it, while talking about censorship.
It broke my heart.

There's good speculation that the Sket Dance OAV coming out next month is going to adapt that episode based off their wording.
Well so much for "not looking back."

"This show has plenty of colon chet right?"
"Yeah the colon chet was off the charts"
Everyone would listen to the first one to find out if Jexhius' accent matches expectations.

It honestly isn't a good ending guys. I'll admit the art style and what's its trying to represent with its "rise and fall" theme is decent. Song completely ruined it though.
Perhaps with the same reasoning that the cast of Lucky Star are in High school?
Granted it's a slightly different art style but well, anything goes really.

Rideback 1-12 (END)
Surprisingly enjoyable, especially given that it was effectively mecha. After what feels like years (i.e. 9 months), I finally watch something that held my attention so consistently I didn't fast forward once. My only real disappointment was that the signs of mania which the MC exhibited didn't develop into full blown psychosis or anything like that, which would've made things even more entertaining
Anyway, interest in anime somewhat revitalised.

Ixion Saga DT 15
Darn I miss the old ED, this one just not as good, lacking scenes of my favorite characters, like Variation. Funny episodes though didnt catch most of the reference, never played Ico (it has no resets or something), or Spelunker, or Dig Dug, but have played one Zelda last year (oot3d). I feel as if the location names were references too.

Cant wait for next episode, tons of variation screentime I hope

What's wrong with Nanoripe? (Honest question because that was my first time listening to a song from them)
I thought the song went well with the openings presentation and its quirky dance routine
