Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
that'd be resident pedo harem connoisseur abf

The episode itself made it pretty clear that Taihei loves his sister in a normal, non-weird way. He gives her what she wants a lot due to a combination of being a push-over and also because she's also a manipulative asshole.

I can understand why people are a little gunshy, considering anime's track record.

Subete no aware
[Gintama] - 279

As I've mentioned earlier, the art for this season under this new studio has looked really rough in a number of episodes. Therefore I am happy to report that this episode looks like a significant improvement on that front. Oddly, however, it doesn't really look like Gintama:

I'm still not entirely convinced by the direction, however, which features odd framing, apparently pointless insert shots and predictable cinematography.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't watch Gintama for the mise en scene. For me, it's another show that could probably work as an audio drama for me and I'd probably still love it. lol

Gintama - 13 (Paradise drug/Pirate episode)

Holy shit.

That was surprisingly more serious/emotional than I expected.

Is there more episodes with similar tone throughout the series?
 
Well that really was a lot of recapping. Which seems pretty pointless. Can't imagine there's many folks jumping into TLR with this.

It's also been 2.5 years since the last season and they can't assume every fan is going to remember everything that happened like it was yesterday.

Oh ho, even Jex caught up to watch GX.

Overlord 1 might be cool
Monmuse 1 ty based god
Charlotte 1 unless neat stuff starts happening I don't think I'll care to finish
Kuroko no Basket 1-36 Hey this is pretty alright

TUSR GO WATCH LOGH WHY DID YOU START GINTAMA

Assuming this is a serious/heartfelt episode then yes. There are a decent amount but remember that when it comes to Gintama serious arcs they are quality over quantity. The show is still 95% comedy but when it has a serious episode it is easily top tier shonen action.

I'm rebelling. No one is letting me make the next dota OT.

Yeah. There are serious shonen arcs and emotional arcs/episodes in there.

It was out of no where, joking about some girl looking like a ham.
To a flash back of Gin and all his friends he lost. And this was following the episode where he promised to protect Otose.

I told myself I was going to nap, I'm hooked.

Well it's great you are enjoying it. I didn't enjoy it until episode 24/25, the hot pot episode.

But don't expect a lot of Gin backstory anytime soon.
 
SNAFU S1 & 2 Final Thoughts

Hey I'm hooked. The comedy isn't overbearing and the straight man/deadpan of Hikki never got tiresome for me. I won't say every character is great, but many of them started as one thing and ended up getting some depth to them that made them completely interesting. ie Hayato. Of course the highlight of the show is Hikki, he makes for a fantastic lead. I also appreciated that the little sister, while still animefied, was easily one of the better sisters in a male lead anime. If I can't have Hyouka this is an ok replacement of brooding antisocial interesting lead who has a certain genius to him.

Which reminds me I need to rewatch Hyouka soon it's been a while.

No wonder you keep wanting to make the anime OTs and I keep getting complaints about them in IRC.

Rofl

You can have Fall+Winter.

I put so much effort into making functional OTs

Well it's great you are enjoying it. I didn't enjoy it until episode 24/25, the hot pot episode.

But don't expect a lot of Gin backstory anytime soon.

Just started 15, probably won't get there for a few days.

Silver Spoon is my AOTS. Only 11 episodes per season is criminal.

Welp, need something else to watch during my commutes now.

Moyashimon? When I was watching Moyashimon, Silver Spoon was a recommended show that kept popping up for me, or maybe something currently airing?

And there it is, glad you enjoyed it. Now just like Corn and I said you are part of the group. Come sit with us while we wait for the continuation.

What a time to be alive!

This manga taught me a lot about myself.

Oh is that so? hehee
Im on team Suu of course. Miia is a bit too generic for my tastes (as generic as a snake monster girl can get)

The MC from D-Frag doesn't look generic. He stands out a lot especially with his orange hair.

Though I'll admit some of those MCs look generic.

Well thats true! But DFrag doesnt feel generic in general. It has a very discernible unique charm to it, probably cause its kind of strange.

But Tokyo Ghoul is garbage. I tend to see a lot of moe on my feed based on a handful of followers.

hmm..

Not the manga though. The anime is completely mediocre because Studio Pierrot butchered it but the manga is a different story.

Regarding Tokyo Ghoul, my coworker seems to really enjoy it. When he has some spare time at work hes watching it. Something about it cant be too bad I think.

I knew that Umaru-chan was going to be good but it easily has the best OP this season. Now on to the rest of the episode!

You very well might be right! I do have limited exposure to this seasons OP's at this point but it will be difficult to beat!


They finally shipped my stuuuuuuff!
Im so happyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Gangsta 1

The adaption of the manga feels good enough for me. Maybe the scene with Alex and Barry could have been handled with a bit more emphasis, but I loved watching it and the following action as much as I did when reading the manga.
Nicholas and Worick are great, but Alex is still my favorite.

Also, great OP, but I'm not a fan of the ED. I prefer animated stuff instead of still images with some pan over.
