Yes I've seen both. And they both look way better.
I don't really like CGI animation much either way though to be honest.

Yeah, "Zellie" definitely was quite the adventurer. The uncensored version is one frame away from an actual tentacle hentai.
"Stunkette" and "Challison"(or "Chalmie", if you prefer the manga version) erred by being overly cautious, and didn't experience the full package (pun intended).

Sakura Quest END
Well damn, this was a pretty nice feel-good show. I may have gotten my hopes a little too high going into it considering how much I loved Hanasaku Iroha, but it definitely didn't disappoint in the end. Add this to the pile with the rest of the shows I really wish I'd seen closer to release. Something I actually realized with this show and Tsukigakirei, both airing around the same time in 2017, is that that year seemed to be pretty damn good for anime and looking at the other shows that aired that year, I suppose it's not surprising they slipped under the radar a bit. I was mainly sticking to playing games that year (which was also an amazing one for gaming), so I missed out on so much back then. I'm sure I'll keep missing out on stuff too since I'm spending so much time catching up (still have 16 BD sets to get through and like 8 others I'm about to buy) but fuck if the last month hasn't really rekindled my love of watching anime.

This looks so gorgeous and adorable!
I have been watching Toradora since yesterday. Yo thats one addictive show. Already on Ep.19. The one one thing i dont like so far: Kushieda. I dont see whats her purpose besides being the MC love interest. She reminds me of Mako from Kill la Kill. Also the way she treated Ryujii lately and then in the end dumped him was really shitty. She didnt even looked up in that conversation.

The animation in that Ghost in the Shell trailer is very good. Better than something like Beastars. It's the artstyle that's kinda offputting. It's too soft/empty/plastic-looking. Compare this to something like that recent Lupin the Third movie and it's a day and night difference in CGI.
Yeah, I hate Shinji Aramaki's work. Kenji Kamiyama's 3D stuff is pretty bunk too, and now we're stuck with the two of them co-directing at least 3 more shows :/ I'm semi-curious about the writing staff they assemble - the original SAC was kind of absurdly stacked in that aspect, but a lot of the people who helped there are busy on their own projects.
Doesn't help that Ilya Kuvshinov's designs for SAC are just blagh. Never really got any of the Kuvshinov popularity in the first place, especially with the rampant plagiarism and all, but now having them as a full-fledged character designer is so confusing.
EDIT: Speaking of the SAC writing staff, Dai Sato (who wrote a bunch of the best episodes / in general has been consistently great throughout his career) has a new original Mappa show:

I feel like I'm more excited for the anime originals this year than the adaptations.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken 1
Wow, incredible first episode. It's a very different take on animation than Shirobako which was must more industry focused, even in that first ep, but it's so imaginative and adventurous and even the 'grounded' sections are strange and just a bit off kilter in a really appealing way. The scene of nervously exchanging sketchbooks was so real (model-san's anatomy studies are on point). The slapstick with the guard was also hilarious in an almost loony toons kinda way.

I do love how Colorido works look.
Oh ...

Pet 01
Given the (I assume) sort of fake out nature of this ep, this probably warrants another to make sure what it really is but it really didn't grab me and the technical execution doesn't really do it favours so into the bin it goes.

For context, Pet was broadcast as a two-parter / isn't really meant to be watched as a single episode (which was a huge fuck-up on the part of streaming services who just released a single episode that week anyway).

Babylon Ep. 12 (END)
What the hell. What did the show want to say? What was the point of this? What the fuck was this ending?
This show started promising with a ridiculous but unique premise but just went to shit as soon as the show returned from its break. What a shame, I really enjoyed Babylon despite how pretentious it seemed but this ending is just the worst. And Ai Magase was not a good villain nor was the plotline with the mayor resolved. Was the suicide-law adopted or not? We will never know.
Was the introduction of the GAMER president truly necessary?
No answers to any questions. Nothing. What a waste. What a shame.

I didn't expect a new series scripted by Sato, it looks really good. I suppose Carole and Tuesday is leaving a nice way for more non-idol, original anime series about playing and producing music.
I have already watched Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain and Samurai Champloo, and the few episodes he wrote in those series were pretty great. I am also interested in his more personal works (especially Eureka SeveN), so this could be the year for me to watch those.
A Certain Scientific Railgun S - Episode 5
It got really dark now.
2 weeks ago I didn't even know this show existed and that it was part of the Index universe consisting of over 40 books and several spin-offs.
Now I'm knee deep into this.

There are some things with sports anime that you just kind of have to close a part of your brain to enjoy. "Wow they went up 2 points, can we ever catch up, maybe they're just too good for us?". Saying that when your 1 minute into a game like what.

Oh, that would make sense, it did feel weird to leave things hanging in that spot.
Babylon had a strong first episode, an almost OK first half until the hatchet dismembering. A boring and pointless second half until the G7 summit which is the most inane anime episode I have watched in an extremely long time. And then it gets a nothingburger of an ending with maybe one salvageable scene that is not even the final scene.

Chihayafuru S3 16
Taichi hitting his weekly lie quota.
The Santa scene is incredible. More silly club antics are always welcome.
Ah yes, The King and Queen matches. Should be a a perfect place for Chihaya and Arata to meet again... oh. Well at least we can get Arata's analysis of stream culture.

I have to admit I like the idea of an antagonist like Magase Ai (who I have compared to the Mule, from The Foundation) more than most people in this thread but she was only used effectively in like three episodes out of twelve.
So I got around to seeing Devilman Crybaby. I didn't like the artstyle initially of the first episode. As I kept watching, I got hooked and couldn't stop. Even when I needed sleep, all I thought was about Devilman Crybaby to see what happens next. The tears wouldn't stop when I reached near the end. Had no idea this was a re-adaptation of the manga from the 70s. It really took me by surprise at how it ended. I can see why people praised it now.
it's mash between YMCA and In The Navy which both are their songs
Okay. The only other OP/ED parody song that I know of is the FMP! ED song being a parody of the A-Team.
A3! Engdub cast, wow, glad to have Nagisa Hazuki VA in the lead role for Spring troupe. lol. Thank you Funi.
What's everyone's favorite anime so far this season? Personally I'm a big fan of Bofuri and ID
