You're saying this like the other light novel adaptations are any good. I don't know what is or isn't an adaptation, but there's at least a handful of shows that are worse than Dragonar. Fuuun Ishin Dai☆Shogun is a massive turd that carved out its own special gutter to sit in apart from everything else this season.
Much better than the first episode, with excellent atmosphere all the way through. I love Ginko so much... His clothes are really different from everyone else and I wonder why. Also the father character and Mina story was far more compelling and sad to me. Should I watch the first season? So far I feel like I'm not missing much from a narrative point, but I love the show enough to go back to the first one.
Also, I'm in a mood to pick up a couple more winter shows. What other series are good besides Mushishi, Ping Pong and JoJo?

I shouldn't like this, it has "a promise" as a driving motor, a romantic triangle (kinda) and way too much exposition but I'm loving it, I'm laughing with every episode. I guess the situation of them having to simulate they are a couple, with the idea they are both sons of mafia leaders make it unusual enough to keep it funnily absurd and not too serious (yet).
The expressions are funny, the characters are likable, even the support characters add a lot to it
Shu: "she is not breathing!" hahaha
And god, that animation, in this episode the scene of the beginning when Ichijou is buying a drink from a machine has more frames of animation and more style than some fights I have seen in other series, it´s amazing

Mekaku episode get lowest spring rating(only 31% "love it"),on the other hand,it get 300k viewers in the stream,which i believe it's most viewer of all time for a anime episode
Is the source material really that good? I'm enjoying the hell out of the anime, just two episodes in, but I'm really surprised that Taku Kishimoto gets to consistently work on adaptations with really strong source material from completely different genres. Bunny Drop, Silver Spoon, Haikyuu. For a guy who didn't start writing for shows before Bunny Drop, he sure manages to get attached to some really solid stuff.

I've been a fan of Haikyuu since the very first chapters. Really, I haven't been this hooked to a sports manga since Eyeshield 21 (which is my favorite manga ever). I love everything about it.
A really nice dose of humor, great characters (the only complaint would be that some of them kind of look like clones but I'm sure the anime will fix this), your typical hot-blooded/epic moments that you'd expect from a sports manga.... I love it so much.

Since the manga is still ongoing, do you have any idea if there's a good stopping point for the anime if the current run is slated for 24-26 episodes? I sure wouldn't want to be left hanging out of nowhere, but the guy adapting it has been really smart about ending unfinished stories so far, based on both seasons of Silver Spoon and Bunny Drop. Then again that could be have been up to the directors.
Volleyball, not a sport I'm interested in, but I'll give it a chance. Also shounen is the stuff aimed at little boys, right? Don't know much about genres.

I haven't been reading the latest chapters since I'm following the French release now but I guess they could at least cover the first tournament and end with the training camp.
I think DTL could give you a better answer though.
I'm sure we'll get at least a second season since it's one of the most popular series of Jump right now.

It was fun watching Ei-chan learn to enjoy tennis but watching him try to apply his theories to it could become annoying if it continues. I assume the point here is that it's all about feel and not analysing every movement. The romance plot is kinda interesting too. Personally I hope Egawa wins, nobody with hair like Ei-chan deserves to get the girl. COMB YOUR GODDAMN HAIR!!!
I'm rather surprised that this worked out as well as it did. For the first 7 minutes or so, it didn't catch my interest. When Shoyou and Tobio catch their first dialogue together I think the show shows you that it's going to be something different. It's also a really nice contrast between the two characters personalities. Another nice touch that I really like was that it showed glimpse of Shouyou friends being hesitant on volleyball during flashbacks but joining just to let him have his chance for happiness. If I had to pick between the two main characters, the King is still my favorite of the two characters because of his cold harden personality.

The stopping point ought to be the end of the first tournament since the visual has the three major teams on it (70 chapters or so), After that point is a vacation and what not, so it would be a perfect place to stop.

There is no explanation behind Ginko's modern clothes besides that Urushibara said Mushishi takes place in an imaginary time in Meiji era, where western clothing could be found but most Japan is still rural where traditional lives take place. In chapter The Light of the Eyelids, episode 2 in the anime, the blind girl friend wear modern clothes as well. But somehow this was changed in adaptation so the boy wear traditional clothes like other. Maybe Nagahama did that to fit with Ginko's peculiar nature, enforcing the contrast between his strange feature and the mundane enviroment.
I watched the first eps of Baby Steps and Haikyu before I went to bed last night and liked them both. I think Baby Steps will be more of my thing though.

Yeah, I can't believe how awful that show is. At least for some bad shows like Mahouka you can say it looks nice, or for No Game No Life you can maybe like the idea of it. But Dai Shogun has no redeeming factors at all.
