Conception 01
I played the 2nd Conception game and they always made it rather ambiguous about if you were actually having sex with the girl because I don't recall anyone ever treating it like sex. This they are very clearly indicating, "Yea they bang." unless episode 2 has something else in store.

aah i need it now.
with it being a movie, i'm guessing it's going to be an eternity before i actually get to see it though...
watched an episode of asobi asobare. not sure how i feel about it - probably would have been more shocked/had more fun if i had gone in blind. as it was, expecting it, it kinda just devolved into 'reaction shots: the anime'.
also i hate (well, don't like) every character, which makes it difficult to go with...

Didn't expect it to be (mostly) CG, though it looks good. Kinda wish it was a series though.
Why have they been chasing the shitcake that is TTGL for the past 11 years now?

My main take out of this, is that anything that has to do with the mechas was pretty good. The designs, which as I previously said was the reason I even watched this, but also the action. As far as I remember, while there are some lazy episodes, the action was good more often than not and most importantly, the most crucial moments in the series were handled really well. The finale itself was full of magnificent sakuga. Moreover, there were some very stylish scenes on Zero Time, I rather liked that dueling ground even if the CGI didn't do it justice some times. I enjoyed the Utena-esque format the the series tried to employ, even though the recycled animation kind of stopped eventually. lol The entrance through the Cyber Casket was very good, while the songs that went with them were very nice. Especially the first one, I wish the blue haired girl had a bigger role. Second miko was a huge downgrade, though the plot twist was pretty cool.
Still, as I feared, the characters ended up the weakest part of this. A lot of melodrama and pointless banter, along with how underdeveloped a lot of the side characters were, kind of ruined it for me. I never fully grasped why Sugata acted like a dick sometimes, or what the Class Rep girl wanted or expected other than Sugata acknowledging her. The storyline with Takashi seemed to get scrapped middle way, and several other characters never got a proper role or a proper closure, something to explain their motives. Even with the main trio, I feel that the show just stalled their developments. During the Mizuno arc, they basically took a backseat, which kind of ruined the momentum that existed.
Overall, very enjoyable series though. With 2D Mecha being more or less dead, that was a neat surprise considering it's not even 10 years old.

Given how much this first episodes goes for it, I don't think it going to stray away from this.
Bunny Girl show 02
The way they delivered the scene with her mom felt a bit weird and awkward, but aside from that it was a really nice episode.

just caught up on the latest couple of Banana Fish episodes
god damn
when was the last time a series had AOTY on lock this hard

Yeah, I was pretty excited at first going by the silly gags(Olivia trying to English, playing games etc) but the next couple of episodes were mostly forgettable. I really wish they didn't cop-out with Olivia being more Japanese than she appears to be and tried something interesting with the intersection of cultures (Kiniro Mosaic is a bigger culprit in this regard).
The whole "connection" thing reminds me Kiznaver. I didn't care much for yuri bears in the end but a project by Ikuhara will always have my interest piqued.
Karakuri Circus 01
Man this was really good. Probably my favorite episode so far from this season.
Didn't even know that Hayashi Yuuki is the composer.

BananaFish is definitely top 10 material, or even 5, but AOTY, depends on how it resolves things from here on out.
First found & lost is easily in the top of the year (full song wise)
Katakuri Circus 01
While it's visually good, the protagonist is extremely uninteresting (no merits, just a heir) and I cannot shake the feeling that this will be discount JoJo with puppets instead of stands.
Merc something 01
I literally fell asleep watching this. It doesn't happen often.

Stop falling asleep? I don't know man, I do it daily. Sometimes but not usually the cause is anime that cannot hold my interest.
Now I want to watch this sketch again. Hanako was too funny.
It's really hard to compete with that show.
So after Karakuri Circus I've seen all the shows I wanted to check out, and with some more episodes for other shows it's time to update the list. I wanted to wait until Sunday to get some more episode 2 impressions, but I really wanted to emphasize how much I liked Karakuri Circus :P

i thought this was an exorcist reference when i first saw it
turns out i was wrong and had an american of all people telling me that it was a monty phython reference so i guess i should hand in my british citizenship card and go into hiding
same, ill probably just wait until funi disc, then buy s2 and 3, finally.
Re: Cutie Honey
this could have a perfect fun little three episode OVA, but it's held back by it's dull second episode. Itou Naoyuki is just completely outclassed by Imaishi and Anno. Still the first episode is fantastic and the third is really great.
it was gayer than I expected.
The OP will be stuck in my head for a while.

Listening to Three moves ahead about Valkyria chronicles 4 and Austin talked about what makes anime interesting and sometimes problematic is how much action there is from even the smallest actions. However, it can lead to having certain element being bigger then they should had been. Thinking back on series I really enjoy found ways to balance their big actions and small moments out. Goblin Slayer is very much in the camp of being too much of action and not holding back. The assault scenes could had cut away or not shown at all and would allow the show to have better ground to stand on it dark tone. The show needs help in a lot of ways, going all the way to the original manga, but they could had taken steps to present it better.
It was pretty clear that the real intent here was fetish fuel.
It sucks the new series has probably killed the chances of another Cutie Honey series. It was so damn bland.
It's Jim Jam part 5, I expected worse to go along with the overall "quality" of the show.
Eh, it is growing on me so fast. We will be getting an automatic meme by David Pro themselves each time you watch the episode. It is damn genius!
I guess some people have different taste, but not me. I like OP even more.
for some reason lately, manga have been pretty weird with blu-ray announcements, 5 centimeters per second was announced a week or 2 before it came out
Beelzbub 01
Wow Hell sure seems like a place that isn't all that bad to live. But maybe they keep the people suffering eternal damnation somewhere else. Anywho, Beelz herself is pretty cute for a fallen angel and the humor got chuckles out of me so this is a keeper.
Merc Storia 01
I didn't expect much out of this and I'm actually impressed. Water jar fairy girl is cute as a button and her dialogue is pretty amusing. I was thinking the boy being so young would annoy me but it didn't so good so far will keep on this.
Jojo sucks but their ED/OPs are usually something I like. ED is vastly better than the OP. That OP is a trash fire.
