I will also have to be aware of the incoming "opposition" comments that'll think I'm full of bullsh*t (or something like that...just look at Ben the Sage's Evangelion reviews lol)

I've watched Katanagatari and it didn't leave a particualrly good impression on me, it's far too wordy for it's own good, has a tendency for the action to be off screen and the final twist felt really out of character. I'd started watching the more recent Durarara!! series and realised I'd forgotten too much of what had happened previously so I've gone back to the start to watch it all again. |

I finished Soul Eater the other day and I thought the ending was dumb, even for that anime's standards. I really enjoyed the first 40 or so episodes though.

Just watched the first episode of Attack On Titan for the first time and man, it doesn't waste any time getting right into the effed up territory as you see this kid's mom get eaten while their town is overrun with giants.

you're in for a great ride, especially considering that the second season's hopefully coming out this year.

Watching ERASED currently. I'm liking it a lot. The first episode tries to condense way too much information, but after that it's a "next episode"-clicker.

Just started Durarara!! I'll keep watching because it's pretty interesting, although I'm not entirely sure as to what's going on. Also, I'm still in the middle of the Patlabor TV series and just finished Robotech: The Macross Saga. The further I got into Robotech, the better it got and it reminded me a lot of the original Mobile Suit Gundam (still prefer Gundam, though).
I'll probably be ordering the Attack On Titan blu rays soon, too, as they're both $20 on Funimation's website right now. Way cheaper than anywhere else I've seen. |

I've been binge watching anime like crazy lately. In the last couple of weeks, I managed to finish Durarara!! (loved it, sequel series to follow), Noir (it was okay) and Terror In Resonance (I'll be coming back to this one again, so good). Now, Attack On Titan is on deck and I'm having a bit of nostalgia from the Toonami days with The Big O.

attack on titan gets pretty boring after a few episodes imo.

As far as I remember Attack on Titan, it gets better and better towards the end. I can't wait to see the next season.
I'm currently watching Gundam Seed, which is not bad, but too slow-paced for my taste. Edited by Skalla-Grim - March 03 2016 at 09:23 |

AoT has slowed a little bit, but it's damn good. Definitely can't wait to see the next season!

Since the winter season is coming to an end, and I'm still trying to catch up on the shows from it, I'll talk on the shows I'm able to finish thus far:
Erased - Probably among my favorites this season. Unfortunately, the ending seems to bring up disappointment from many people, I really don't see it overall. I thought that the killer, though rather predictable on whom he really was, and his backstory was done rather nicely, despite being rather short in showing his backstory (as the manga I've heard was better executed, not to mention that despite news reports the manga was actually different), but I felt satisfied with the anime overall, big time. Very interested in the manga, of course. KonoSuba - This is the obligatory comedy of the season, and well-deserving of it. Dear god, it's hammered so much on the "RPG game" genre of anime, that even maybe its haters will find something charming of it. From the rather average animation and art (which actually works in its favor, even with the budget being implanted when needed), all of the cliches shown are just put to great effect while also making fun of it (with lots of breaking the fourth wall as well). If you want to get a huge laugh, go watch this series because it's worth it. So yeah, on another note, can't wait for that MHA greatness coming next week!!! EEEEEKKKKK!!!!!

Update on the anime from this season:
God Eater - remember this one from the Summer 2015 season, where numerous delays made it to not finish the 13 episodes planned (and only released 9 of said episodes), well, the final four episodes finally came out throughout the month of March, and overall I thought this was an enjoyable anime. The animation and art were probably better (obviously) than the previous episodes, the action was on point, music.....well, not my taste (as we're on this site, lol), but still! The story was still engaging to me, though definitely flawed at some points (especially in regards to Alisa, which is even worse because she's best girl

Okay, definitely going to the side right now, trying to start the Monogatari series during spring break (the last couple of days of it anyway). So far, I finished Bake- and Nisemonogatari, and I really enjoyed it for obvious reasons. The art and animation were beautiful and definitely not of the usual anime, and of f**king course the dialogue and the characters were the main driving force behind it all. Laughing my ass off as well as really being enthralled with the action (when it actually comes lol), Hitagi = bae, her and Araragi being one hell of a couple, I can't wait to see what else comes next whenever I resume my adventure with this series. The pausing to try and read the subtitles (especially with on-screen dialogue) was a pain in the ass, however (especially the first couple of minutes of the first episode of Bake, dear God (also heard it was all in Kizumonogatari as well)).

^I never thought I'd enjoy comedy in anime until I watched GTO and more recently, Golden Boy (borderline soft core
![]() I recently picked up the Psycho-Pass series (both seasons) and am going through the first season over again before starting season 2 for the first time. I forgot how much I enjoyed this series. Almost GitS-lite. |

I just got into Ajin and it has really turned my negative opinion of cg anime around. They did it very well.

I'm re-watching Steins Gate and started watching the Rebuild of Eva movies. I love (so far) how the first movie stays pretty close to the series before veering off in it's own direction with the second and third movies.

I dropped Gurren Lagann after eight episodes, it bored me so much I could not watch another episode of it.
A friend of mine recommended me Monster and I really liked the first two episodes. |
