This is both true and sad. Chris deserves better.

No tears for me, so it's already behind Clannad, Anohana and Plastic Memories.
It takes the Angel Beats level for me...

OMg if we are really getting an s2 of Love Rice...wheres s2 Kenka Bancho Otome Girl Beats Boys.
I felt nothing.
In This Corner of the World (or In The Corner of This World as my cinema confusingly called it)
I've actually been the the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and the museum there, so I thought I was prepared for this film, but like always, I couldn't help it and the tears flowed at the end. T__T

Unsure if I want to watch In This Corner of the World first or wait for my copy of the complete manga to come in around October or so.
Well, the animation adds to it. Lots of interesting scenes with different styles intertwined.

Oh nice! I'll rewatch it, too. I remember it not having the best of starts (like a real poor man's Naruto), but really coming into its own later on. Had a helluva time by the end.

I don't have any grand thesis on the current state of anime but I was certainly disappointed (to varying degrees) by a number of shows I checked out this season, whether it was returning favourites like Eccentric Family S2 or promising new ventures like Kado. Still that doesn't overly concern me as next season could well have something that I'll enjoy more.
RE: Sun and Moon & Tiger Mask W, I've checked these out and I can certainly agree that those both of those shows are doing their own thing pretty well. At the moment, however, I'm not really into either of those genres of show.
Perhaps my comment was unclear.
Attack on Titan S2 is undoubtedly a huge step up from the first season (perhaps something of a JoJo's level of improvement). However, that doesn't mean it's an excellent show. In a season with a Mob Psycho 100 or Rakguo it wouldn't be the top of my list. However I don't think we have a work of that tier (or even approaching that tier) this season. I generally like to walk a way from a season of anime with 1 show that I love, which unfortunately isn't the case here. I'd expect that to be the case in a Summer, rather than Spring, season.
(Nier: Automata was all the anime I needed this season anyway)

[In this Corner of the World] (Not a great title)
This was very good and deserves a more thorough write-up when I have time. I was not expecting my Japanese WWII movie to have so many elements of magical realist fiction.
I hate to make my only lengthy comment one of criticism, because the film does so many things well, but there's one thing bugged me throughout the movie. There are a number of shots that seem ever so slightly too short. I felt this was especially true at the start of the film, where I felt like almost every shot needed to be held for another second (or more) to have the desired impact. The speed of some of the edits even got a little confusing at times in a manner that was surely unintended. This problem lessened throughout the movie but it still cropped up occasionally later on. It was one strangely unpolished element in an otherwise very effectively directed film.
If you do have a chance to catch it in the cinema you should definitely go to check it out. I can't think of anyone who wouldn't get something out of the film.

I'll try to watch it prior to reading it; though I'm doubtful I'll be able to watch it in the theater since I can't find anywhere from Funi the screens its going to be playing at.

In other news, western anime looks bad.
If you think about it, Spiderman is pretty anime. And mostly bad.
Yeah, that was a bit odd. One got used to it though.

you know it'd be nice to see some actual footage instead of Stan Lee saying "Excelsior" as still images float by.

Tokyo Raven ep.15-16
The magical battles in this show are incredibly well done and are a pleasure to watch. The dialogue and story are just so so, but the twists and turns are fun to watch play out.

was this done by the Voltron studio (Studio Mir)? The character artstyle looks very similar to Korra and Voltron.
It's highly disappointing and I am only finishing it because I got this far, but it's by no means good. It's watchable though. Wouldn't recommend it over other shows though.
and yet you will watch it the wrong way
joke aside though the series really does have a solid dub. I think it was one of the last ones Laura Bailey did for funimation. (last one being kid trunks in buu kai most likely)

it's been great to see Gigguk post videos often again. He disappeared for so long.
Sticking with a seasonal show until the bitter end is one thing, but if anyone came to me asking whether Kado was worth watching or not, I'd just say "no". It did look like it was going to be using an interesting premise at first, but then it got more and more generic as time went on, all while the cheap 3D models and animation didn't really help matters IMO.

Depends, If you wanted something really solid, with quality rising tension, hard, or Hardish sci-fi, and an exploration of political and social changes/dynamics from alien contact then you'll be disappointed as it gravitates away from that in favor of increased anime trope-esque developments and what's feeling like a rushed "no way this story could actually finish in 12 episodes if we'd kept the original pace/style" ending.

you mean it's not the sequel to Baby's Day Out?
For some reason I saw those two screens, thought the guy was Shindo from Kado, and got really excited for the final episode. LOL.

Welcome to the NHK - Completed: This ended up being a pretty pleasant surprise. The last couple of episodes turned it from a pretty good series, to a great one in my book. I especially loved the ending, as bitter-sweet it was
the fact that Satou and Misaki have to learn to cope day-to-day with their issues instead of their being a quick fix.

ID-0 12 END
I'll do a full writeup of the show soon, but I want to express my admiration for the show saying "The operation will start in 20 seconds" and then having the operation actually start right after 20 seconds of elapsed time. That almost never happens in anime.

Oh this is just reminding me to watch. I have no intention on watching it subbed.

Not the best show, not the worst. Watch it if you have loads of time to kill. I think it would work better binged. Minimum, watch episode 0 then stop and never return.

Oh damn.... sorry man. I'm sure the battle here was much, MUCH better, lol.
well it's hard to tell in anime who is a teenage girl and who is a 1.2k year old space dragon.

either way you will get to listen to these great songs again

School Rumble ep.4-6
Oh man, a couple of these segments were pretty damn hilarious. Tenma as a clueless flakey girl kinda grates me a little bit, but I can't stop myself from laughing at some of this stupid stuff, lol.
