This show looks so cute.
I feel like I have to watch this.

I'm not going to live to see the end of this season at this rate.
SOON
Good. Best girl is there for once.
Even Silica and Sachi.
That looks like a pretty amazing exhibit.
Been a little bit since we had a new greenlit anime announcement, huh.

Are you seriously comparing the two?
Crazy Eye-patch Girl 1
Highly amusing first episode. One of the best things about it, for me, has been the fact that both main characters are cute. I expected her to be in her movements and actions, but I didn't expect him to be as well and that made a pretty nice episode even better.
Oh, the opening sucks!!! That left and right switch seems made to kill people.
Mawaru Penguindrum 3
So far, I can only remember 2 names of people in the show: Ringo and Imari. As such I can only say that I'm sorry for the little brother as he constantly gets flushed out.
Ringo's stalking seems to be taking a turn for the dangerous and I'm curious to see where it will lead.

You guys really know how to build up anticipation.
So it's going to be a risque supernatural teen anime?

kamisama hajimemashita - 01
Saved by the likable lead in Nanami; she's cute and appearance-wise is certainly an improvement over the awful designs for the demons. The setup is basically Hayate with less loli and more elongated men.
OP is pleasant stuff. Kinda like the show itself, nothing remarkable but it's charming enough. I don't know if I'll be sticking with it but this ep didn't feel like a waste of time.

It is? I'm watching it dubbed so had no idea.
Oh they could've changed it for that then. I didn't even know they did a dub.
Maybe their eyes just don't work altogether. It would explain a lot.
The character designs certainly don't look '90s. Not enough giant triangle chins, angular spiky hair, or lines drawn all over their faces.

That font...Even though the first episode of Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb seems better-budgeted than many a SHAFT show, there's still moments you can't help but laugh at.
I didn't find that particular CGI as bad just because there was no cel animation in the frame with it.

Despite my Miyako avatar, I never watched Hidamari Sketch. And I know I should. I feel like a nincompoop.
Or maybe it was psychological conditioning, because right before it showed up, the show declared that it was an enemy which had to be stopped.

You could start with Honeycomb, it's not like it's a plot-driven anime (or even chronological).

You are becoming Turkish cajunator.
The completionist in me would kick me in the balls.
Don't lie, you're not sorry at all.

I really like the OP. Great song, great display of future events without outright revealing them, great faux symbolism.
As for the actual episode, it's also good. I do have a few gripes, like the facial expressions not emoting as much as I would like (minus the ending), or some rough patches in the animation department (a certain running scene being the worst offender), but the strength of the source carries it imo. There was also some censorship, but that's to be expected. I really like the anime character designs, though I always thought Ryuta had blond hair. Ah well.
I'll definitely keep watching this. Excited to see more strategic, Battle Royale bomb warfare! If the preview is anything to go by, they might be skipping around a bit, but that's cool with me.

Zetsuen no Tempest 1 - Nope.. did not like this, maybe I wasn't in the best state of mind to watch it, but I found the writing and tone to be overwrought and melodramatic to the point of annoyance as in eg trying to hard, and the weird thing is I usually like this kind of stuff too, maybe I'm getting too old for this shit..
Wish Ando was working on better material. because the overall production was actually pretty solid, and the music fit very well with the mood they were trying to execute, and let's not forget the action was pretty damn good too!
I think the biggest problem with the series for me, is there really is nothing here that engages me on a visceral or emotional level, so it's hard for me to care about anything that's going on. even if it looks pretty and shit.
I'm expecting the show to go to shit past the first two episodes anyway, so I'll probably drop it, I might consider picking it up again if it ends up staying consistent though.

It's just a super-chill super-relaxing show that gives you what counts in droves. If you don't have a sense of inner-peace from watching cute girls be [REDACTED] and cute for hours on end, then I can't save you. Like PdotMichael said, you can start from anywhere really.
But every episode of Glass Fleet is full to the brim with gifable moments.
You should watch Hyouka, it's the best KyoAni show.

I was too busy watching the keions. And now I'm behind like four seasons. It's something I would totally enjoy but it feels overwhelming at this point.

How can I properly respect SHAFT-style animation without blatant asset reuse from 2008?
The "Art Dept." sign and the mini-ep title format, among other things, date back just as far, but blend in better by modern standards.
Just start at the beginning and enjoy the ride. It's not a show you need to rush.
I would try to tell you that it's not that much and not that bad, but yet again I marathoned about 80 episodes and a movie of Hayate in 2 weeks.
Best thing is to watch the show and take it super slow. Like an episode a week/two weeks or something. There's no hurry in every episode for a plot, so it's just kinda nice that it is.
That's an atrocious mermaid design.
Dammit. Bad writing is bad writing.
In the West we have Ernest Cline and the rather excellent Ready Player One. (actually we have a lot of pretty great fiction dealing with AR/VR)
In Japan, they have Reki Kawahara and his cross over harem VR light novels.
I feel bad for Japan.
Specifically, how can Accel World be so much worse than SAO, when that's the series that came afterwards?
The whole Chiyu
thing makes me roll my eyes into the back of my head in the most extreme way possible.
She acts like a cold bitch, doing dumb bitch things
Is this writing for fucking real?!
Also, the number of Deus Ex Machinas in this show is absurd. Write your world logic and stick by it!

betrayal
She acts like a cold bitch, doing dumb bitch things
(reviving Noumi), and in the end justifies it by saying "I was just with him to level up my ability"
Is this writing for fucking real?!
You can't just have leveled up by playing the game normally?! Without the needless backstab and betrayal?!
Also, the number of Deus Ex Machinas in this show is absurd. Write your world logic and stick by it!
Having the 'Megumi' character come in out of no where to save their asses is the most literal form of Deus Ex Machina possible (her name is Megumi/Goddess, and she jacks into the machine to pull off her one off goddess move and then leaves the fucking story forever).
Lain's watching the Italian dub; I don't know if Sentai have announced if they're doing an English dub yet.
