Shirayuki-hime ep.7
Looks like our "Princess" has passed a test with big bro prince unknowingly. I guess from the backstory we got, he's nowhere near the big douche he comes off as. Prince Raj, on the other hand, is put in his place, yet again, by our heroine. Good episode.

this is what happens when a show doesn't embrace the full-r
In this case you can and you should.
Code Geass save us

I mean I liked the episodic stuff, but I'm not sure I want another batch of them. And sadly it seems like Yuu is back to being boring. The show is at it's best when he doesn't give a shit and abuses his power left and right.

Subete no aware
I remember that Vice documentary about him.
Shimoneta is probably the most frank an anime can be about sex without being a josei adaptation. I think for that alone it's probably the most interesting thing of the season, if not probably the rest of the year.

Must watch?
I mean I think right now my highest ranked series for the season is Ushio and Tora or Working. But neither is must watch as a classic anime in the making.
It's been an ok season, I can't complain.

Hopefully next season One-Punch Man and Noragami S2 save anime.
All Noragami has to do is make a few multi-episode arcs and it's good.
One-Punch Man won't ever reach the highs of the manga in just pure drawing detail (when it gets serious), but it has a really big chance at appealing to western audiences due to it being about superheroes and not being as anime as other superhero shows. I know I'll be watching because it won't take long for the anime to pass where the translated manga is.

The moment they pass where Murata's OPM is, they should switch it to One's MSpaint art style.

There are two easy information alternatives that are better than MAL and regularly updated: Wikipedia for general information, and ANN's Encyclopedia for detailed staff/cast breakdowns.
The character designs are unusual but distinctive and memorable. I remember when the first key visual was revealed and so many people said "They've ruined Kumeta's designs! Now it's just another typical mediocre-looking P.A. Works show." But I had faith and my faith was rewarded. Its visuals are much more cinematic in construction than most TV anime. Such a treat.
The first episode does drop you down into the middle of the situation without devoting too much time to doling out exposition explaining all the characters and their relationships and backgrounds. Which I don't mind; it feels natural. The series will gradually flesh out everything, including the backstory, as it goes along. Though one thing to remember is that, no matter how human they look, the main characters are still tanuki (or tengu), and they have different societal standards and behavioral patterns than humans. That's one of the best parts of the story - that it effectively presents a parallel society of mythical creatures living alongside humans, living like humans in many respects but different in certain core aspects such that they feel familiar and alien at the same time.
Forgot my quotation marks. Sucks because I had liked their relationship up until that point.

Everybody calm down and watch Hunter x Hunter. Doesn't matter which series. Just do it.

you watching S1 or 2? S1 is amazing, and S2 gets even heavier at one point. It's fantastic.
Show is too real

Good man.
Don't be fooled by the uneven first episode, the show only gets better. It's a great dramedy. And when you reach S2 they really perfect the humor down.
Also if you think anime OP's are good, you haven't lived till you listen to the amazing Bojack OP. Created by the drummer from the Black Keys, and the animation that accompanies it is great.

Actually, I Am ep.7
Holy shit that "sexyness" battle between the Vampire, the loli devil principal and the she wolf for the biggest nosebleeds given to our poor MC was hilarious. She wolf wins in a route. Sooo good, lol.

Them attack on titan season 2 spoilers
Notsureifserious, but most of your points boil down to you not liking the drablet style of storytelling, not liking jazz, and not understanding what a heroic bloodshed movie is

S1 had like a 59 on metacritic, S2 has like a 90. Granted it's only taking into account like 10 over-all reviews per season, and it probably has to do with reviewers doing the first season too early and the show jumping into popularity later on, but still.
And there was discussion, in the OT There's just little to say about the show imho. It's funny, it gets real, I want more.
Frankly maybe I didn't get as depressed as with S1 as shit hit the fan so high, but S2 was arguably more consistent in the drama. And the humor was better too.

Something that hasn't happen in the anime yet? lol
I can't recall exactly - are the offensive elements of Space Dandy primarily just the existance of the Hooters-style space restaurant?
Offensiveness I feel is about context - it's one thing for a pulpy space adventure show to have sexy space babes, and it's another for whatever the fuck was going on in that Fairy Dance arc.

Shirayuki 07
Things ended well between the prince and Shirayuki in the end. I find this show to be super relaxing even when there is drama.

I mean... Sure nothing explicit but it does spoil the situation and the characters in it. This will for sure be in season 2, I'm sure there are folks here that haven't read the manga
Nothing, you didn't see anything.
And Hunter X Hunter is good, but damn does it take a long time to get to that point. Dropped it 3 separate times until I got to the Yorknew arc when the series started getting great.
Thought it was better as it was a far more consistent product. First show has more "Gotcha!" moments that can leave an impression but S2 picks up where S1's dark character study left off.
Man why are you all still here instead of watching Miyuki Sawashiro drink beer and eat bar food
(Crunchyroll started a simulcast for Wakako-zake out of nowhere)

SAO used rape as a plot point multiple times, the worst Space Dandy did was boob jokes and that breast monster in that one bad episode
The start of '11 is pretty weak tbh
Sawashiro and 2 minute shorts huh?
Guess I should be watching this

Will watch when it's finished!
I'd say it was better overall.
One of the best shows this season.
Yeah I guess I'm just mad at the fate of Vincent or I'm forgetting the bad parts of the first season but you're right in saying that the drama and jokes are better. Still a good show regardless.
