Uhh- Yuri on Ice

I have that one on my PTW list.

I still have a week in my Prime trial membership so checking out 7 Senses of Reunion.  Asahi is freaking adorable, though  Satsuke has me rooting for the “childhood friend” character.

Just finished the 1st ep of 86’s new cour/season. While her peers may consider her naive/foolish for getting demoted for her ideals, Lena seems a lot edgier & less concerned about being nice or doing things by the book now. Also seems to have won over her new troops fairly easily, but maybe not surprising considering she manages to get results without treating them as cannonfodder. I was surprised

that Shin & the others from the squad are still alive. But at this point I almost expect the Federacy to be some sort of Matrix like simulation by The Legion to trick them. Even if they’re sincere, it’s clear Shin & the others find the way they are treated to be condescending. Pity & sympathy are a poor substitute for respect & dignity. While Frederica is undeniably a spoiled brat, her behavior is in many ways more honest than the adults attempts at compassion & altruism. No surprise that she is/was the Empress & raises questions about how much their government has actually changed


In closing, I’m considerably more hyped for what’s to come than I was going into the episode.

Currently watching the first episode of Mieruko-Chan

I watched it as well. I generally like anime with supernatural themes but need to watch some more episodes to make up my mind about it. 

I enjoyed the first ep of Irina, Vampire Cosmonaut. A decent attempt has been made to try & adhere to the historical timing of events, albeit with different names. The set up being that after the experimental launch using Laika, the Soviets intend to use a vampire (seem to be treating them more as mutations/aberrations than invulnerable supernatural creatures) as the next test subject. The reasoning being she is human enough to provide useful data, but still considered subhuman, so they don’t need to be overly concerned about her safety or ethical treatment.

And even though I haven’t really been a fan of Digimon, giving Ghost Game a try.

Watched the 1st ep of Takt op.DestinyA fantasy (scifi?) series about using classical music to fight alien/extra-dimensional monsters. Anna certainly has her hands full dealing with Takt & Cosette’s eccentricities 😂

This one was definitely entertaining.

Puraore! Pride of Orange seems like an interesting show. It's not something I usually watch (I don't really watch sports anime), but one of my friends is really into hockey. The character designs remind me a lot about Love Live!, which seems cute! I don't have any strong opinions about it yet as my knowledge about hockey is close to zero. 

However, I am watching the second season of Yashahime, which is great, and watched one episode from Blue Period and Mieruko-chan! I like those three shows a lot, and I'm going to watch Takt Op.Destiny on top of the current anime season. 

But... regarding older anime, I just finished R.O.D. OVA! I've watched the TV series twice, but never got around to watching the OVA until recently. It's really good and it makes me want to start picking up the light novel.

Watched the 1st episode of Taisho Otome Fairytale. Definitely got some Ai Yori Aoshi & Shinigami Bocchan vibes. Was very surprised to recognize the tune Yuzuki & the MC’s mom sings as the same as an old time hymn, with different words.

The season has barely started & I’ve yet to watch Komi but takt op.Destiny is contender for my favorite new (non-sequel) show of the season

Of course 86’s second cour is my top pick overall.

A friend recommended Komi Can't Communicate, now I'm waiting for it to hit Netflix xD 

1st episode is October 21st, I’ll be reactivating my Netflix account cone November so I can follow it.

Watched the 1st episode of Ranking of Kings today.  The story is reminiscent of traditional fairytales/fables & the art style reminds me of Spirit Tracks or The Windwaker from the Zelda franchise

I currently am watching Fairy Tail 2014, One Piece (for those who care, I literally just began watching it. This is going to take a long time lol), Guilty Crown and Trinity Seven (actually, I've been lacking too much time to complete this anime for unknown reasons,but I hope to finish it either this week or next week). I really enjoy Fairy Tail and I've seen every episode. Fairy Tail has my FULL attention, it is never boring me and you could say I'm addicted to it? Fairy Tail has become one of my favorite anime of all time since the time I started watching it. As for One Piece, I am enjoying the anime as well, at the beginning I almost failed to keep my interest into the anime but after a few episodes I really like it. I currently am at episode 14 and I try my best to make free time for anime to watch but yeah, life.

Digimon Ghost Game!!

I’m watching this too. Not a big Digimon fan personally, but liking the urban legend angle they’re using & digging the character designs

Just did the first 13 episodes of Shiroi Suna no Aquatope (The Aquatope On White Sand).  Cute characters, nice art, good story.  Relaxing and enjoyable.  The end of Gamagama seems like a good stopping point so I'm going to wait a bit before proceeding with the next set of episodes but I'm looking forward to resuming at the end of the season.

Mushishi

I like Mushishi too.  I've revisited it a few times.  Natsume Yuujinchou is another good one that I think has the same sort of feel.

Rakuen Tsuihou, aka Expelled from Paradise.  Robots and space and cyber and mechas and somewhat predictable but not bad for all that.  Mostly action with a bit of introspection but not too serious about it.  Has a bit of a "The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye" feel to it.  Not a bad way to waste an evening.

The first 2 episodes of Komi Can’t Communicate. It’s cute enough, but I’m not as hyped as a lot of people are apparently.

I put it on my list after seeing the trailer but the first episode was kind of meh.  I'll revisit it for the 3-ep test halfway thru the season & see if it gets better.
