Nagi is
Surprise relatives up in here. The stuff with Senri was also interesting, and the conflicts coming about as a result of the Shepherds are holding my attention more than I anticipated. Do you meddle in lives? Cultivate talent? Or is Senri's happiness the most important of all? I remember seeing some themes like this in Sakurasou, too.
Nagi is
his little sister?
And Yet the Town Moves, Ghost in the Shell, Royal Space Force, and Lain are all excellent choices.

I've only watched those, but if you like romantic tragedy stuff then get Clannad+After Story. Don't get the movie.
Garden of Words is a great looking film, so it's worth getting for the visuals alone. I liked the story in 5 Centimeters Per Second more, but it's decent enough.
Watamote is both funny, horrible and makes you cringe at the same time. It has some interesting visuals. Maybe check out an episode or two on Crunchyroll first to see if it's something for you.

I love how they did cleaning Levi. Almost makes up for the slow pace that the last two episodes have had.
Most of the episode focuses on Hange's dealings with the Titans and boy can she ham it up. I love it.
We are also introduced to more members of the Survey Corps A.K.A our cannon fodder for the next little while.

Well that's more like it. A welcome break from the meandering school activities and a large look beyond the veil of secrecy that covered the past and present of this world. One pet peeve I have is the ease with which Saki@crew got access to all this secret data. Given the amount of effort and care it took to withhold the truth from them, leaving an exposition machine roaming around like that seems like a pretty big omission. Overall, pretty great episode, even the 10 minute infodump was expertly told and didn't leave me bored for a second. Still not a big fan of the kids but events seem to be narrated by an older Saki so perhaps a timeskip is a coming.
Rewatching the first two episodes, I noticed some major time hijinks. The purple sundown and later scenes from the first episode seem to be a 1000 years apart yet they clearly feature the same characters. And what the hell is the deal with those white masks ? They even show up in the ED. Speaking of the ED, I absolutely adore it. A perfect blend melancholic music and godly visuals.

Guy was Gaz, and "Chaika" is revealed as the name of the magic that he used to create the Chaikas. Setting up the final battle an episode before the final battle means that, yeah, this season should've had two or three more episodes, but Kadokawa is still on their 10-episode seasons. Gaz certainly lives up to the legends that were told about him. This is a really good chance for Chaika to finally obtain the ultimate free will, and take down her "dad" for the peace that this world needs.

And the show continues to spend an entire episode on something that could have been done in half of the runtime.
At least the Female Titan arc begins in the next episode. Knowing the pace of this show though, we'll properly only be introduced to it at the very end of it.

You're right that Sekai was training for a while but it doesn't justify a character that was shown as being his biggest threat, one he wouldn't be able to successfully use his martial arts on, barely even getting a hit on Sekai as he continues to successfully use his martial arts to win. There was no intensely even match, there was no Sekai backed into a corner who has to fight his way out somehow and the only tension came from a cheap attempt at a twist end.
Sentai has two announcements, Gkids is giving details on the Kaguya BD, Discotek's big announcement could be during this week... lots of stuff going on!

Yuta should really get some kind of lock on his window.
Copying romance manga doesn't work, but in the end Rikka really falls in love. Quite literally. Some kind of comparison can be drawn with how the show started and what happened here at the end of the episode as well I guess.

While I liked the events of the episode, the action at the beginning felt incredible disjointed and somewhat senseless.

I just don't understand why Shinichi didn't just get his ass over to the other parasite in a more timely manner. I understand that there was some confusion and difficulty to sense him, but I had a hard time believing it taking so long. It got especially strange when he reassured himself to save Murano and still ventured on with such a slow pace.
I'm also not sure if I can buy Murano not being more in disbelief about the his jump down several floors...even if she was in deep shock. That's just something she'd also wonder about in hindsight with a clearer mind and would have to seem awfully strange. But maybe she's actually certain that he ain't normal anymore but isn't telling him at the moment. let's see.

Can't really think of a better ED than SSY's in recent years.

Hey look, things are actually happening. It only took the show 3 episodes before things began to pick up again.
I got to say, the foreshadowing regarding
is more obvious in the Anime than it was in the Manga.

Ah, yes. The school festival. The perfect time to meet up with old friends and reveal embarrassing stuff about eachother.
Only just confessed and then there's already problems and even a sort-of fight. Or maybe more of a lack of a fight

Depends especially how the thread was created , imo.
Very good.
Not all arcs are similar and you can choose the story/girl you love freely. Definitly enjoyable
Do remember to watch SS+ afterwards.
I don't really, but that's true of physical media generally. Of course part of it is lessons learned from DvD where I bought lots but in the end rewatched maybe 10% of the discs I bought. All it was was a money sink. Of course anime is a bit different in that you can't buy subbed anime digitally. But they really have to be favourites that I know I'll rewatch for me to buy even on sale. And at least so far anime disappearing from streaming us pretty rare...though I guess in time that will change and I'll feel more need to buy more anime.
One of my favourite romance shows. Wish we saw anthologies more often.

Wow, that twist. What a surprise. said no one ever
Considering that the show had little going for it and built up to this overly predictable 'twist'...*sigh*

Also not sure how to react to the remains-eating-Tentacle-Vagina and ensuing combination of orgasm and giving birth. Well, actually I was a bit grossed out, which seems appropriate.

A fine episode.
I was thinking of the good pace of this series, thanks to the "pressure" of putting the entire, already finished manga in 24-26? episodes. More series should follow this model. On these 10 episodes we had (spoilers just in case)
Of course as Tokyo Ghoul jump in annual manga sales showed us, manga adoptions to anime are mostly driven to drum up manga sales, not to actually make an anime that sells well. Hell, we didn't have Parasyte now if it wasn't thanks to the live action movie!

First off, yay! We've finally gone further in the TV series than what I've read in the manga.
That said, some of the specific details in this episode left me a bit ... unsatisfied.
First off, yay! We've finally gone further in the TV series than what I've read in the manga.
I had never got around to seeing the conclusion to this arc so it was actually a pretty interesting fight to see here. Shinichi ending it all with sniping the opposing Parasite from long range was pretty damn satisfying too, it feels like that would be a pretty effective method of dealing with most other opponents as well.
Meeting among government officials and the test ensuring that no one among them was a Parasite is a neat one, I like the specific means of identification that they're using there. That said it seems odd that they would do something like this without a literal Parasite free verified army behind them to ensure that, if there was a Parasite among the government officials, that they wouldn't all be butchered immediately. The lack of foresight in that scenario bugged me.
The specific way in which the corpses were dismembered along with the sheer number of victims should have sent alarm bells among both the public and the families of the victims. Given the time that the attack started and ended and the extent to which the victims were torn apart it seems sort of a stretch that the police/government would be able to cover up that something distinctly extraordinary occurred. You had people cut in two at literally the torso and no one is questioning how a drug crazed teenager would be able to handle that? And the cops being murdered too despite being armed? The scenario and subsequent cover up would have worked a lot better if the school was empty and our villain was only trying to dispose of glasses girl rather than having taken out potentially dozens of people during the start and end.
Murano giving 0 fucks about Shinichi jumping from a third story window and then immediately jumping over a goddamn fence while also holding onto her. No other comment needed.
