If it's cheesily done? Yes. In Code;Breaker it's basically the epitome of "FOOL THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM"
even more than Frieza.
The stuff the anime covers is the early parts of the manga which I didn't think were that bad. Don't bother reading the rest of the manga though, it's pretty crap.
Code:Breaker protag's not a gary stu by any means. He's a jackass anti-hero who's incredibly entertaining because of just how seriously he takes himself when he's really just a cartoonishly angsty and insensitive nutcase. He's not perfect, or a prodigy, or universally admired by everyone.

I feel like all the tennis stuff is pretty interesting. I like how this guy is trying to analyze how to play well and I like his hard work.
All the romance crap is pretty bad though. I have no interest in it and really gets in the way. Maybe that's why most sports show don't have romance cause the girls aren't interesting.
This still feels like a maybe.

ROFLMAO. Really? That's pretty cool. Hopefully his song writing is better than his script writing!
He's also storyboarded the Captain Earth ED, and he's storyboarding and unit directing the new Mizushima CG movie at Toei/Graphinica written by Urobuchi (rip!!!!!).
Better that than working in anime.

Gary Stus are fine when they're fun like the dude from Mondaiji Tachi. Kirito is not fun.
That being said, neither is Ogami from Code:Breaker. He is an infuriating unapologetic asshole that significantly brings down the otherwise fun cast and ruins an alright premise.
Yeah heh, it's an album with a bunch of guest writersROFLMAO. Really? That's pretty cool. Hopefully his song writing is better than his script writing!

I think it's actually kinda cool as the dude must have obviously been a huge Supercar fan, and ended up working with the leader of that band like years later. Must be a dream come true for him lol

Does the Rabbit cafe anime lean more towards the Kiniro Mosaic side or the Non Non Biyori side?

It's more Kiniro Mosaic.
The romance is the only reason why I'm watching, and I expect as it goes more sport heavy I'll drop it. Which is probably why the only 'sport' anime I've like (well aside from Chihayafuru) is Suzuka and that's because the sport was mostly just the backdrop.
Basileus777

I don't think Suzuka even qualifies as a sport anime. There's barely any attention paid to the sport aspect.
Its about athletes, and some of the story is about their training and participation in said sport. It doesn't show endless scenes of people playing the sport though.
Somehow I don't see something similar happening with Harmonie.
No. That was a fluke with the whole kickstarter and all.

Hey look I found my first spring anime I like. Spring 2014 isn't a lost cause it seems!
So far this show is doing an excellent job of depicting the concept of amnesia with both the warm and tragic feels. In particular
despair aspect.
Already a better amnesia story than Golden Time ever was, here's hoping no stupid ghost plot device shows up in the future.

Soul Eater Not! 01
Despite this being bland and boring, dunno I guess the whole world of Soul Eater somehow makes it watchable? Or I guess I'm just barely willing to watch this weekly.

Just to let you know, the attraction between the two is always there but those scenes are few and far in between (manga spoilers if you wanna read)
they do hook up and make a really cute couple thought. they're genuinely in love with each other but the grand focus is on their matches. their moments together tend to be outside of matches every now and again but matches make up a big portion of the manga. It still is a sports manga through and through, but the romance is cute and sweet and makes it better

So what's the best/worst English usage for nonsense this season so far?

The gif kind of came out of nowhere so I wasn't sure if it was tied at all with the Code:Breaker discussion. My apologies.
Atelier Escha and Logy 1
Also I don't know if battles are a big part of the series, but based on this episode I guess not? Since they only gave that random battle like 1 second showtime and it was in a montage. So this sounds like a good thing to me. Unless of course it was a budget/time issue then that's worrying.
Well that was a pretty decent and relaxed anime. I never played any of the Atelier games and the only thing I know about them is that they are about cute girls and alchemy so I didn't have any ideas what sort of story I was getting. I was however told that it was Aria/Tamayura but with alchemy so that helped me set my expectations and it sorta didn't disappoint in that regard. It wasn't as good as Tamayura, but it did the job fine to keep me entertained throughout the first episode.

Captain Planet looks like it might try to one-up Buddy Complex for bad terms. I can't recall if they said the names in engrish or not actually. But they do have terms like Salty Dog and Libido w/e.
Man now I'm doubting myself. I hope that at least one of them was engrish.
Kinmoza. It looks like it artistically.

Manga reader, so far the adaptation is pretty meh. To be fair, I wasn't that crazy about the manga at this point either. The production is pretty lackluster though. Hopefully it'll get more engaging once we hit the actual tennis. I do like how they've presented Ei-chan's character, his normality is so atypical for the protagonist of a sports show.

Nice reference for Mature there. And speaking of references, there were actually a couple for another well-known Gainax anime in this episode.
This show is just so cute, it really does work well as a balm for the soul. Kind of had a shitty night at work tonight, but watching this has lifted my spirits considerably.

Now its just still frame of ice cream dripping on a random girl. I guess that could still be considered art of a sort.

The ones in Futari wa precure were good too. But that was so long ago.
They're all pretty good, but Sharp's eyecatch just exudes class.
Even though it's actually selling plastic shit! That's how you do it.

Lol, they seriously gave Kana a tsundere voice synthesizer? I always imagined a standard robotic voice, but I guess it's not moe if you sound like Ned from South Park.
The ejecting is understandably censored. Wonder if it will be clearer in the BDs. There's going to be a whole lot of beams of white once the gore gets more frequent.

Atelier whatever ep.1
God damn it I don't need more shows -- at 16 now, with only 2 or 3 realistically being drop candidates -- especially since my free time is going to almost completely vanish very soon.
Also I spent the whole episode trying to figure out who Logy reminded me of, then when it ended I looked up his seiyuu (Kaito Ishikawa) and realized the answer was Ledo from Gargantia.

I don't think I can handle what ever appears to be a very well polished, but still familiar, sports shonen series, much like Firehawk12, and I'm not quite sure why. I watch plenty of other genre works and there not that different in terms of how they stick to their traditional characters and formulas. Perhaps it just because I'm naturally not that interested in sports, but that also seems unlikely. Hmm.
