Sumomo: “WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT?!” 

No worries, we need active new members/posters around here.

Kind of an obvious guess, but could it be Blue Exorcist?

Gonna rain all day, but fairly warm for this time of year (50s)

Changing the username is possible after you gain points in the member shop.  I believe 2500 points.

It is 2,500 points (under the shop option). I went ahead and made a donation so you can take care of it (I rarely do anything with them anyway). 
Afraid I’m not much help on the profile picture since I struggle myself sometimes with the technical aspects.

Don’t worry about the mis-steps, I’m constantly editing my posts 

THK is soooooo cool.

Just started season 2 of Takagi-san and finished FGO: First Order in preparation for checking out Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia.

Since there’s only 1 more episode & things look to end on a cliffhanger, pretty much guaranteed to be an official announcement of Season 2 (or a movie if they follow the example of Demon Slayer, Made in Abyss & Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress).

Most of the Gundam series seemed to have a fairly heavy military influence to me (though I’ve yet to actually finish any of them ). 
I agree with @The History Kid about Fullmetal Alchemist and there’s a series along the same lines called Pumpkin Scissors, though nowhere the same quality. More recently there was The Price of Smiles.  I think you would probably like Attack on Titan, maybe Ghost in the Shell: SAC. Series like Kancolle & Azur Lane are more about fanservice than anything (reimagining military vessels as cute/sexy girls). Likewise GATE is an isekai with a supposed military slant, but is more harem than anything. Finally, there’s Fullmetal Panic.

I wasn’t real impressed at first, but it’s grown on me quite a bit. It’s pretty slow moving & subdued, but getting into some more drama now.

Not sure if any other members are watching it, but the first season of Ascendence of a Bookworm will have a 2 part finale on Christmas Day. And a second season is apparently planned for the Spring 2020 season https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-12-05/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-anime-2nd-part-premieres-next-spring/.154041

So the new OVA episode (about the village having a sumo tournament) played out pretty much as expected. Funniest moment was probably Rimuru trying to explain the rules to everyone. As far as individual characters, I think Millim had the best moments (poor Gabiru ), though Treyni was a surprising bit of eye candy. Nothing special overall & actually think the previous OVA (about the lake monster) was more entertaining.

So basically it's going to be shit.. 

I’ll reserve judgement till I’ve seen it, as the last OVA was essentially a beach episode and I found it enjoyable enough.  But if you hate filler or are offended by fanservice, you probably won’t miss anything by skipping it.

I rather enjoyed the recap episode this time and Overhaul seems like an interesting villain, but it does feel like things are dragging a bit to this point (the fact that there was already a week with no new episode doesn’t help). Seems like this coming week will be more action packed though. It’s scheduled to be a 2 cour season (25 episodes), so they can still cover a lot of material.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here 

Looking at your profile, I’m currently watching Madoka myself for the first time in preparation for the new series next month. I would also like to recommend checking out My Roommate is s Cat about an extremely introverted writer who takes in a stay cat after the death of his parents.

Since you’re enjoying Claymore, you might also like Dororo. Ushio & Tora is another supernatural shonen series. Both are  recent updates of older series.

It just started sleeting outside. Predicting some light snow overnight.

I think the apparent lack of strategy is largely due to both sides trying to keep up appearances.  The really bad stuff Overhaul’s group is doing goes on in the underground complex which is probably where most of the security measures are. Plus the entrances/exits are probably hidden and apparently the place is a huge maze, so they probably thought it was reasonably secure (would be if Nighteye hadn’t been able to use his Foresight ability, even then they only know a fraction of what’s down there). As it stands, they intend to have their main enforcers hold off the police/heroes while they destroy any evidence and escape with Eri. Though the excuse that the enforcers were acting on their own and not following orders seems implausible.

On the police/heroes side of things, while they’re aware Overhaul’s group are criminals, they still need to do things by the book. The League of Villains are more like terrorists, so if they can connect them to Overhaul’s group they can probably forego a lot of the procedures. Also if they can find evidence of what they suspect is going on with Eri, they could at least take her into protective custody, which would seem to put an end to his biggest plans. One thing that didn’t seem right to me is that Nighteye is apparently pretty famous (has his own agency & a former sidekick of Allmight). You’d think the guy taking care of Eri would recognize him, even if the nature of his quirk isn’t public.

On an unrelated note, I actually liked the brief interaction between Midoriya, Iida & Todoroki. Considering everything the three of them went through related to the Stain incident, it makes sense they would have a special empathy for what Midoriya’s going through at the moment.
