So who's doing the Spring OR anyway? TUSR or BGBW?
Fantastic Children ep.5
Still way too many things going on to catch on to the plot, but it's pretty interesting. Also Touma needs to chill since Helga is such a space case....

Suite Precure 13-15
Siren got branwashed
. I want her to change sides now at this point. Kanade continues to be thirsty as fuck for Ouji, with Hibiki being unamused.
One thing I've noticed is that Suite can show off characters, but it may take them another several episodes before even revealing their name. It's bizarre.

It's not a good sign when I find this more funny when I play the Spongebob soundtrack over some scenes.
Season 2 better deliver the goods.
My face watching this so far.

Not in my city it isn't, at least not yet, another 1:30hr.
As for the anime season, according to Anichart the first show to air this season is Future Card Buddyfight Battsu in 11 days.
Funimation doesn't have to put it out, since streaming rights and home video rights can be separate (especially when Funimation originally started streaming the show). Were NISA still around releasing anime, I'd have bet on them; they released the DVD of House of Five Leaves, another title that Funimation streamed but didn't want to put out. Right now, if anyone will pick it up, I'd be betting on either RightStuf or Discotek (who's started to release more modern anime lately). Part of me just simply can't give up hope that it will be released one day here.

I gave almost no fucks until season 2. It was an OK comedy until then. Gintama syndrome

I wanted Kai backstory but not like this...Tyson or Ray better do something before he goes too far into the dark side. Worst he has ditched teamwork and decided to do things alone, bad news.

Seven deadly sins Signs of the Holy War
This is basically one big fun bridge between season 1 and 2(3).
We mainly get to see some SoL moments between the seven sins and a few holy knights like Gil and Howzer. All of these moment were pretty good though. My favorite being episode 3 which focused on King and Diane. It was both super sweet and funny. Also King and Howser fighting for Diane is the funniest thing ever! There is also one *big* fight, but animation wise it's not really that impressive.
So it's basically
+More fun time with the sins
+different character focus for each episode
+cool hints for the next season
+Amazing OP
But the best thing of the whole special was that one single shot of King Arthur

If you liked Seven deadly sins and only watch the anime then you should definitely check out these 4 special epsiodes since that last episode directly leads up to what I suppose will be the start of the new season.

Okay guys, I need your help. I've decided to leave a slot or two open in my anime viewing list this coming season/in-between seasons to catch up on some of the "greats" that I missed. But I'm not sure where to start first.
My "want to watch" list is here. Any recommendations on what I should watch first? Or even what I should add to the list?

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
I remember when I was first getting back into the anime scene 5 or so years ago, this was the series I heard the most raving about around the time. I guess because this was Gainax's last big work before they became a shell of their former self after the mass Talent Exodus. Most I really knew about it prior to watching was having watched the big school fight scene from episode 6, which was a really impressive piece of animation.
I honestly just found it ok. Shock humor is really hard to pull off successfully because when you do it in excess it ends up desensitizing the viewer and I felt like that was what happened to me as I watched it. This ended up being a series I appreciated more for it's animation than the actual humor, characters, or story.
I know people are holding out that the season 2 will end up being made but I don't really see what else they can add. The "cliffhanger" at the end felt more like Gainax taking the piss out of themselves for their "infamous" endings rather than an actual legitimate sequel hook.

Suite Precure 16-17
Won't say it's a two parter, but they flow into each other.
16 was more of a Switch places episode, Hibiki with Kanade's family and vice versa. The trade of course, highlights how lonely Hibiki is despite not showing it on her face. The other thing to learn is that I don't know how Hibiki's family even lived. None of them can actually cook.
A lot of people were very excitable that Hibiki's mom was in town, even Ouji, whose voice made it seem like his balls undropped because his idol was in the school, and thus also made all the fangirls squeal. It was a change of pace in particular for Hibiki given her family circumstances. While normally, she attempts to have a sense of maturity, she became more child like, and was allowed to even drop her guard to tell her mother how she really feels, a moment, which gave birth to Hibiki's dream, as well as her mother.
Hibiki's circumstances do make it easier to give her attention for episodes, considering Kanade's situations aren't really "problems", that's not to say she doesn't put in the footwork either, because she does.

Wait did the only reason to watch fuuka not happen?
There's apparently a brief interview with the anime creators of Fuuka discussing certain story plots.
Spoilers for Fuuka if you haven't seen it.

Ah yeah. Well, that's fine. I assume at that point the manga was still going anyway.
Well I disagree about that, but yes. It's like a Marvel what if comic.

Konosuba - 3
Gonna just drop a quote from an old Zero Punctuation review that I modified a tad to sum up my feelings on this episode.
"A joke ideally delivered is akin to being slapped in the face with a fish by a man who runs in and out of the room giggling, and the comedy in this is more frequently akin to a fish gathering flies on the kitchen floor, while the same man stands nearby morosely pointing at it with an outstretched arm, and the fish is wearing a viking helmet because FANTASY, AMIRIGHT?" ~ Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw.
good idea.

Yeah, I don't see you enjoying the show if the comedy is doing nothing for you. Season 2 will only get worse in that regard.

I mean, I still WANT to get to Season 2 to see what all the hubbub is about there to make even Jarmel and Narag voice praise for it.
I saw the OP for season 2 and the show looked fun enough, so I'm just waiting for it to get to that point.

Konosuba doesn't fundamentally change. Honestly the two seasons aren't as different as it is being made.
If it makes you feel any better I dropped Konosuba after episode 3 or 4 my first time, came back for another round and still hated those episodes then came around on S1 by the end enough to say I liked it and S2 is by far my AOTS and was a huge improvement over S1 for me.

I mean, I'm not expecting the show to do a 180 and turn into early Spongebob. I'm just hoping that the comedy improves and I find more hits than misses as the show goes on.
it helps when darkness plays a larger role and aqua plays a smaller role as Aqua is just not a good comedy character for me, I just find her annoying.
perhaps you will be the same.
that being said even aqua was alright in the final arc of season 2.
