I don't mind the extra time though as long as it's an improvement over season 3, which had some awesome moments, but overall was kinda weak IMO. The only other series I can honestly say I'm really looking forward to is the continuation of Space Battleship Yamato 2202. I'm actually a bit apprehensive because I haven't seen where Funimation has officially confirmed that it will be resumed. I realized that they were going to have to put it on hiatus at some point until the final movies screened in Japan and just assumed they stopped at "episode 13", because it fit the usual format for a cour. However, I'd read an article on ANN that the Japanese company producing them was in financial trouble, and then the series got taken down from CR even though initially it sounded like they would continue to share the rights with Funi. Anyway, I hope at the very least Funi picks up where it left off sometime this coming year (fingers crossed). I'm sure I'll check out the new seasons of One Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100, Attack on Titan & Kakegurui (assuming that Netflix gets around to it in 2019) as well as the remake of Fruits Basket. As far as new shows, I don't really follow manga or LNs anymore so I don't have any real feel for what a show will be like until it airs. Besides, anticipation hasn't been a real good indicator for me, because of my Top 10 of 2018, only one was even on my radar back in 2017.

I’m just gonna put out a couple more horror series I enjoyed somewhat. Devil Lady was a gender bent take on Go Nagai’s Devil Man series. It had some similarities to Witchblade, but was better IMO. Unfortunately I don’t think anyone has the US license anymore. Some of the stories in the Ghost Hunt series were pretty good. It’s probably more psychological than horror, but Satoshi Kon’s Paranoia Agent was excellent. Finally, Betterman wasn’t that good of a series and might not be actual horror but definitely had some creepy moments, especially with the little psychic girl doing the episode previews.

Season 4 was disappointing to me as there were only six new episodes which were ok, but not great. I didn't even bother with the other six since they were apparently just rebroadcasts of episodes from past seasons. I did enjoy seasons 1 & 2 though.

I gotta be me (no one else wanted the job) In all seriousness, I never pretend to be something I'm not, but a lot of things I don't show until I feel more comfortable.

Shiki would be my favorite with Hellsing Ultimate getting honorable mention.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I LOVE several of CLAMP's series including CCS, so a crossover series starring teenaged representations of Sakura & Syaoran sounded like a dream come true. After slogging through 52 episodes and a handful of OVAs, I can't think of a single positive thing to say about it. Dull and uninteresting from beginning to end. I largely feel the same way about Clear Card. Though somewhat forewarned thanks to Tsubasa, it spent the majority of it's 22 episodes saying "Hey remember that time when <insert memorable moment from the original series>? Wasn't that cool?" While doing very little that was memorable or cool itself. And then at the end it was like "Oops, we're out of time. We'll need to have another season greenlit before we can finish the story." . They could've condensed the interesting parts into a 90 - 120 minute movie easily Also. PO'd is too strong a word, but despite enjoying Soul Eater quite a bit, it had one of the biggest anti-climaxes for an ending of any series I've seen. I get what they were trying to say with it, but still very unsatisfying for me, As far as something about the anime industry in general that pisses me off, it's when OVA/Specials don't get licensed despite the fact the series has been. Case in point, I don't usually resort to pirate sites, but for the My Hero Academia, Yuru Camp & Konosuba OVA/Specials, I made an exception. And I still would like to see them included on the physical releases (or a physical release at all for Konosuba & Yuru Camp)

Last week's episode (11) didn't do a whole lot for me (despite Shion's hawhtness). But I really enjoyed this week's (episode 12) and am looking forward to the big battle. I totally hate Gabiru, though. Try to excuse it as pride all you want, he's still a jerk & an idiot. If he survives I hope he learns his lesson

I got the same sort of vibe from Ulysses in the scene where

When I do like an ecchi series, it’s usually because it’s lighthearted and comedic. If it takes the sex too seriously or is extremely violent, it’s a turnoff for me.

I actually meant that Conception & Ulysses were terrible, Demon Lord was ok, as was Yuuna.

I stayed with that one through episode 3 before dropping. I don’t just drop a series because it’s ecchi (I stuck with How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord till the end), but both of these were just terrible.

I actually skidded on the deck when I let the dog out this morning (had a glaze of ice on it). Supposed to be sunny and get into the low 40s

I watched the first episode and decided it was one of the worst anime I’d ever seen. One and done. Ironically there are a series of PlayStation games based on the same source material and according to CR it was the most watched anime of the season in Iraq & Syria https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2018/11/05-1/crunchyrolls-most-popular-fall-2018-anime-by-state-province-country

Supposed to rain all day with temps reaching 50 Despite being above normal temps the wind and the wet actually make it feel worse

Not sure if there is another place for this sort of thing on the forums, but I've been seeing some I liked online & wanted to share them. This is the one I took my current avy from

Copied from my profile: Cowboy Bebop; My Hero Academia; Azumanga Daioh; Magic Knight Rayearth; Louie the Rune Soldier; Shiki; Mushishi; Ushio & Tora; Yuru Camp; Beautiful Bones; Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood; Konosuba; Scrapped Princess; A Place Further than the Universe Most people just mention series, but I'll also list some of my favorite anime movies: Project A-ko (original); Little Witch Academia (original & Enchanted Parade); Princess Mononoke; Castle in the Sky; Ranma 1/2: Nihao my Concubine; Dirty Pair: Project Eden; Perfect Blue; Patema Inverted; Children Who Chase Lost Voices; Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro

So is the list of series you HAVE watched? Or the ones you're trying to choose between? One series I would highly recommend to anyone is A Place Further Than the Universe. It’s about a group of highschool girls who accompany a research expedition to the Antarctic. While the initial expectation might be for a CGDCT series, there is more depth to it including some pretty raw emotions. Nevertheless, it is a positive series with the emphasis on friendship and not letting adversity discourage you from pursuing your dreams. It’s short too, just 12 or 13 eps.

Of the various recommendations, Kaga Koko's are probably the ones where "romance" is the most prevalent. In a number of the anime I mentioned "romance" really isn't the central focus. I guess your request was kind of confusing since you said you wanted the characters to be "just friends" and listed Rukia & Icihigo as your example. I'll try to clarify some of my recommendations somewhat: Soul Eater, Slayers & Beautiful Bones all feature a male & female character who are teammates/partners. If romance comes up at all it's generally dismissed pretty quickly Ushio & Tora: the MC has a childhood friend that he frequently bickers with but it's pretty clear they have feelings for each other. While it's a recurring theme, it's not really the focus. Buso Renkin's relationship is the one that reminds me the most of Ichigo/Rukia. Shakugan no Shana kinda falls into that category as well. Magic Knight Rayearth: while there's some romance in the first season, it's more prevalent in the second season. Cardcaptor Sakura: they start out as rivals, become teammates & eventually do become a "couple", but at their age it's more cute than anythimg Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon: more of a harem series than anything, with most of the romance being one sided crushes (with the one side like the other, but not really seeing them in that way) Scrapped Princess: the main male character is actually more of a surrogate big brother & his focus is on protecting Pacifica. Although there is another character who has an interest in her, she doesn't really feel the same way & it's played more for laughs
