El Melloi Case Files 13 END
I'm glad this turned out to be an epilogue of the events of the previous episode. Pretty good conclusion in terms of Waver moving on from his obsession of the Grail War and choosing his own path.
El Melloi had its ups and downs but the ups certainly make it worthwhile for me more often than not. I'd like to see more of this but a lot less indulgent in the lore behind its mysteries.
Vinland Saga 12
Very cool episode on both Canute and Askeladd. They're far more interesting people than Thorfinn. Though all three character bring something different to the show and drama in their own way. Askeladd holds a balance of Canute's cautiousness and Thorfinn's strength while Canute and Thorfinn belong to their own extremes. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

MHA is at least more interesting than Demon Slayer's annoying inner monologues and bad plot exposition even though I dropped it for the shitty way the girls are treated and cause Bakugo/Mineta are shitheads.
As for people who don't like Ufo's past works, I can understand not liking UBW for being a bit dated or for dumping too much info or for its kinda botched ending but Kara no Kyoukai and Fate Zero are fucking incredible.

I think it's less "MHA isn't good" and more that avatar-shaming is pretty frowned upon around here (also having few posts and no avatar makes one kinda suspicious, like you're trying to start something on purpose?).
Like I dropped MHA because it bored the hell out of me but that comment was pretty rude and uncalled for.
Why you gotta mention the Persona anime. I like to pretend they don't exist.
Finished Relife yesterday. It was way better than expected although the ending was predictable.
I think the light novel is pretty popular. Even in the West.
Babylon 1-2
I am absolutely in love with this show. I have a massive hardon for police procedural shows and this was hitting all the right marks. The atmosphere was perfect and the main character is a absolute joy even if his talk of justice feels a bit campy and naive. Speaking of hardons, that interrogation scene with the lady left me sweating as much as those two guys. That lady simulated a hand job plus balls cupping very well.
Babylon 3
Ok so it fell apart for me in these last 5-10 minutes because I felt like what the show seemed to be implying was almost supernatural levels of "the power of suggestion" and the show had been grounded up until this point. But I'll stick with it.
Blackfox
If this is all we get out of this movie I will be sorely disappointed because even the the story is boiler plate "she who seeks revenge should remember to dig two graves" I still enjoyed the action scenes.
Bokuben s2 01:
Fumino is still best girl btw.
Chuubyou Gekihatsu Boy 01:
Okay this was much funnier than I was expecting it to be. Mizuki's reactions to these idiot boys is great. The scene with the falling basketball hoop had me dying.

I've recently seen Aku no Hana, and it immediately flew high up in the top 5 of the best anime (and manga) I've ever seen. Highly recommended. I've also found this AMV that really captures the spirit of it.
Holy fucking shit. Best C-Tier show of this season (best trash forever) and it even gets a second season. There is no god.
The show had the worst opening episode in anime history and almost made it unwatchable during the first two Yue episodes, but it seemed that they dialed back the loli depictions and sketched Yue a little older.
After that, the rest hasn't been so bad and has been an interesting watch.
PSO2 Oracle 1
It's wasn't half bad, especially when you think about it as an ad for the game. At least they're using the interesting part of the story. That said, the opening being inspired by the PSP/PSU themes was by far the best part. Also, don't trust me on this, the whole thing might be terrible, but I'm biased because of 1k+ hours spent playing the game.

Just My Hero Academia this season for me, though there are a few other continuations I might look at.

Just finished Demon Slayer this weekend. I really enjoyed it, it's a pretty standard shonen, but considerably darker than the average. My main gripe is Zenitsu, I almost dropped the show after two episodes of him. He's certainly not as bad as Mineta, but the tradeoff is that he is much more of a main character. Hopefully he gets better, but he's pretty annoying so far.
It was interesting to see that the next arc will be a movie. I hope it eventually comes to a streaming site.

What? Zenitsu is the best character like his power, personality, and everything allows him to be this happy medium of both the other leads.
His personality was completely grating to my partner and I. His screaming bits always went on for a bit too long for our tastes. In Mineta's case we found him more tolerable because he was in and out. Zenitsu just has these terrible meltdowns for minutes at a time.
His backstory and power set are interesting (plus his little sparrow), I just hope he becomes something other than a screaming child in his day to day life.
That was a very long 60 seconds in the new Dr. Stone episode, lol.
This. He's a major, major drain on enjoyment.
so i just finished the new yuno anime and boy oh boy was that a crock of shit in the end. pretty sad about it, because i thought that the first about ~12 episodes were really good with really strong mystery and cliffhangers, keeping me at the edge of my seat. words fail to describe just how fucking hard this show manages to jump the shark tho. in the end, i am only left with a big WHY?
Not everyone has been around long enough to understand who DTL is.
Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
And that's all in he first episode. Right?
I'm always behind because I tend to watch the funimation dubs of a lot of shows :P
So Cygames has announced an anime adaptation of Shadowverse. Based on their card game which is basically anime Hearthstone, but with a plot that's just straight up anime Magic the Gathering combined with Cygame's great art.
Except that instead of being a fantasy show pretty much everyone playing the game would have wanted (going by Reddit reactions, which are negative to say the least), they seemed to have turned it into a Yu-Gi-Oh clone instead.
I legit had to double check if this was actually based on the game, because it looks absolutely nothing like it. Which is a shame, because I kind of liked the game back when I actually played it.

seems like the perfect season to catch up on older shows. season looks boring to be quite honest.

I cant wait to see him summon Albert, Azazel-san, and Veigtho. Its gonna be great. Hoping its like 1st series of Monster Strike was or perhaps like DraColle.
I watched most of Copcraft this weekend, the dub in particular when I realized what it was. It might be worth it just to hear the cliches that come out of the chief's mouth. Anyways this show could have been great but it rushes everything. They go through what would be two long season like arcs in the first few episodes.
Lol yup expected a cool fantasy anime and they made it a kids playing cards anime
Thoroughly enjoyed going through the original Psycho-Pass (mixed thoughts on the very end, however). I've heard that Psycho-Pass 2 is pretty disappointing. Would you guys recommend giving it a go, or skipping straight to the movie?
PP 2 isn't anywhere near as bad as people say, it was just disappointing and a bit messy in comparison but it was still an enjoyable watch. It kind of feels like serviceable filler. Akane has some decent character development if I remember correctly.
There is a certain character introduced that everyone hates though but I feel like its something that they set up for eventual sequels as an antagonist and kind of a foil for Akane.
Being a Yugioh clone is not the worst thing in the world if its more like the beginning of Wixoss. But I don't have hopes considering the gameplay of shadowverse.

Best news plus Mahouka getting a season 2. I really thought I'll never see a day.
Makes sense.
Main characters have to be appealing for the most part.
New characters get introduced as the show goes along, if they are popular they need to hang out with the main character because the show focuses on them.
