Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta
Perhaps the best OP of any anime I've seen. I'm really loving the art style.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY0bMtjCX28
However the anime version I have is overlaid with the zeta theme, which changes the tone of the op dramatically:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN1Zi841NHA
Also is starting out much stronger than most gundams I've watched. Ep4
.
Any gundam fans know if ZZ Gundam, Turn A Gundam, Victory Gundam are good?

They must be really confident in the actual show itself. That's the only way I can see why they're doing this. What better way to hype a show up if you have a bunch of good impressions on it by people who've actually seen it?
More shows confirmed as 13 episodes: Devil Survivor 2, Hataraku Maou-sama, Uta no Prince-sama S2 all for Spring, and Danganropa is also listed as 13 episodes for Summer.
The first set has international sell sheets too, along with 12-episode listings for Yuyushiki and the new Samurai Girls season, though they're not as interesting as the TBS ones.

tamako market 8-9
this show is delightful and makes me feel warm and fuzzy. i love how over dramatic all of deras movements are, and his "oh ho!"s crack me up every single time. its also very adorable, especially moments like the girls bumping each other in the beginning of episode 8, or tamako patting ankos cheeks in 9.
episode 9 was probably the best one was far. it was touching but didnt feel over dramatic or forced. the song and the romance was handled really well. i also like how ankos crush looks like hes permanently stoned.
ill probably wait a few weeks to watch episode 10 since i like to go through a few episodes at a time.

Devil Survivor 2's story can be told in only 13 episodes?
Praying hard for UtaPri to be picked up by streaming and by someone to release disc here.

Turn A Gundam is my favourite series so far. Great characters, and a far more relaxed story than most Gundam series. Also OP1 is great!
Gundam ZZ is not to everyone's taste, it is more comedic for the first 20 or so episodes. Jadau is a top tier lead and is very level headed compared to the rest of the main characters I've seen. Both openings are great!
Not sure about Victory Gundam but I've heard that it's where Tomino got his nickname of "Kill 'em all" from, so you can imagine what happens in that one.
On GameFAQs, before MGS4 came out, there was a guy who insisted the Patriots were the good guys, that we needed things like the Patriots in real life, and that Solid Snake was the villain.
When it comes to MGS, nobody says anything intelligent, unless it's "SNAAAAAAKE EEAAATER!"
Supermarket mochi taste way drier and is less chewy than specialty made ones. I have to get the good stuff from the J-Cafe's and the okay stuff from Yo Sushi. I avoid the supermarket ones like the plague.
Hmmm, I'm not particularly near anywhere with a Japanese cafe or even a Yo Sushi, but I'll bear this in mind next time I'm in London and have a few hours to kill.

Pretty decent adaptation so far. I LOVE the outfits, armors and whatnot, they look so cool.
The MC doesn't really look like his manga counter-part but that's not an issue. I actually liked the parts that were not an exact copy of the manga.
As always, watching people cooking and eating yummy dishes make me hungry, damn it! Everything looks so good.

Hey guys, do you know what's the best medicine for nearly dying from stress, sexual frustration, and overwork? Why, do more work while getting help from nobody, of course!
Fuck this stupid show. These people are all horrible human beings.

You should have seen the post I made a couple months ago. I actually went to a mochi-shop, and bought them fresh made. I even bought the Anko type.

This episode was... weird? I thought it was gonna be about how Kaji uses her feminine wiles to get some unfair advantages in the work but then someone died and then it was all about Hiro being struck with some infinite sadness or some shit until they are all like "lulz no" and then something about some creepy pervert artist drawing naked chicks in what I assume is commentary of Kaji not really opening herself to the men who objectify her but then what the fuck does that have to do with the resolution?

For this show, that wasn't a bad final episode. There was still quite a lot of talking but the moments where they had the money to spare, the action wasn't bad.
At least this show definitely beat my original expectations of being a trashy harem show and instead became a talky show. I was expecting more teenagers wrecking shit and only got that some of the time.

Not bad. Pretty much exactly what I was expecting to happen. People fought, shit got wrecked, a trump card was pulled out at the last minute, etc. Felt like the end of an arc rather than the end of a series, however.
I'm a bit torn on this show. It did have really interesting characters and settings, but it was clearly 26 episodes worth of material jammed into 10 episodes worth of show. It kinda feels like its sole purpose was to sell LNs, since we never got any answers to some of the bigger questions the show posed, mostly regarding Izayoi and the true nature of his Gift. "Buy the LNs to find out what the fuck is going on", etc. I hope we get another season, since the characters and world are really great and it seems like they couldn't tell the story they wanted to due to lack of budget/episodes.
The writing, however...man. Most of the time I barely understood what the fuck was going on. Although I think this was actually less due to bad writing and more due to condensed writing. I'm sure if the show had more time available to explain things in greater detail, it'd have been much more clear. Again, it's just a shame they only had 10 episodes to work with.
Overall though, I did enjoy it and I'm glad I watched it.

Wonderful last episode that aside from the last few minutes, did not feel too much like a last episode. That insert song was great but I wish they had used another one for the final battle too.
This show was absolutely loads of fun, even though some parts of the plot (mostly the second half of the show) was kind of ridiculous and hard to understand. The characters were lovely and extremely likable, even Izayoi who's most certainly a Gary Stu was given a hilarious personality and gives no fucks about who thinks what of him. The concept of gift games, the Little Garden, and communities were great and would love to see how this world is expanded so SECOND SEASON WHEN?!?!??

TAMAKO MARKET 10
It's time to reach the final arc, then.
Still this episode was excellent on all fronts , from the bonds of frienships , to dera dancing.
Trully Tamako market if it manage to have a decent final arc will probably stay in my mind as a very refreshing experience.

Remember that recent volume of the CGWORLD magazine that was looking to be very interesting? Well, it has been uploaded to their website extracts from the main article, including this nice part about Kamikaze Douga's work on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure new series' openings:

I just finished my collection of the figures. Its a very long lasting appeal kind of show to its fans. It is episodic and highly rewatchable. There is lots of merchandise already and it is marketed very well even beyond the typical Otaku market. It is a show and franchise far larger than most anime out there and friendly to a large range of audiences. I am not at all surprised that it is extremely popular well after the show is over.
I wouldn't say that. Image toasters have been around for many years. (google search link so attaching a nsfw tag JUST IN CASE)

They probably are, but more like it has major corporate sponsorship. I don't think Bandai is afraid of losing a little money like a small studio or company would.
This is true. I had some from a bakery the other day and its more "gooey". I do like those boxed mochi anyway, and I'm working through some Taro root mochi as I type.
Naturally.
I find this hard to believe. If I can get it in a small city in Louisiana, surely you can get some anywhere in the Northeast?
KuroUsagi figurines. I will buy them. Several if necessary. That show was WAY too short!

This episode was weird. CGI ponies and tons of manga-esque shots with talking heads, but at the same time it was interspersed with some good bits of animation for some of the special attacks. Very inconsistent.
Wham is a true warrior, yadda yadda.

Have you watched gdgd Fairies too? From what I've seen, it seems to have a similar type of style (or at least the same animation). I might be wrong though.

I live in Ohio, and my general area has a (relatively) large Japanese population due to there being a few Honda factories around. The closest Japanese stores and restaurants are like three or four counties away. It makes no sense at all.
I'm in Cincinnati, there's no significant Japanese population that I know of, and yet I can just go to Jungle Jim's in Fairfield or Eastgate for aisles upon aisles of imported Japanese food. It's where I bought all of my mochi to try before Tamako aired. I'm surprised that the place has never expanded out of the Cincy area considering how wildly popular it is.
Unfortunately it's not a vector, so when you stretch the image it gets a tad blurrier, but this image makes for an awesome PC desktop:
Alternately, you can keep it at the original res, and do something like this:
Or you can go full minimalism with a different picture from the article:
Mountains are so gorgeous. I wish I lived near some. The closest ones are in Arkansas.
You are lucky!
I guess maybe there is a larger asian population around here because I can find this stuff easily in several places within 5 minutes of my house. I figured it must be everywhere.
Here is what the box looks like of the type I'm eating right now:
Always liked taro root and I was surprised at the variety of mochi flavors there are.
