I've been considering watching that Dungeon anime, is it good? I see that girl Hestia EVERYWHERE on the Internet. I cannot go one day without seeing her somewhere. Is the anime good and she's the icing on the cake, or are people just hyping over a twin-tailed big boobed girl?

It had a mange and LNs for a while and the internet remained quiet. The second episode is out of Imma check them both out to see if it's just the latest fad or legit.

People really seems like that ribbon though.

Whoa, hello.

As far as I can gather, Xionea, Hestia's popularity is solely down to the ribbon that magically supports her breasts. The premise hasn't really grabbed me, so I haven't watched the show in question, though.

I finished Maria the Virgin Witch and Parasyte from last season. Maria the Virgin Witch was an easy series to enjoy because the characters were so likeable, but I wasn't so enamoured with the story. Parasyte was stronger on intensity and personal struggles than philosophy, but as a general rule I don't like horror, and I'm glad Parasyte bucked that trend!

Haven't finished Durarara x2 part 1 yet. It's just a bit sluggish in places - it kind of reminds me of Attack on Titan with all the intensity-sapping flashbacks.

Assassination Classroom - 11/22
Baby Steps 2 - 1/?
Durarara!! x2 - 9/36
MY love STORY!! - 1/24
Plastic Memories - 1/?
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan - 1/16
The Story of Saiunkoku - 20/39


As deeply political as The Story of Saiunkoku is, it feels very personal too, and that helps me understand and care about the politics. Admittedly, it's a bit slow, but it's purposeful rather than aimless. I'm enjoying it a lot!

Assassination Classroom was the most consistently entertaining series of Winter 2015 for me. Koro-sensei is an absolute delight, and I never get tired of the offbeat things he does at Mach speed. It could stand to be less episodic, perhaps.

I watched the first season of Baby Steps recently because I haven't watched many sports anime, and tennis is the sport I enjoy watching the most on TV, so it seemed like an obvious choice. I get the feeling that it's fairly typical for its genre - main character pushes him/herself super-hard and overcomes countless obstacles with the help of unusually high-quality (and sometimes contradictory!) coaching. Like I say, I love watching tennis, and 95% of this show is about tennis, so I'm happy!

I had this strange thought a month or two ago. I had this passing urge to see an anime couple consisting of a huge tough-guy and a really sweet small girl. I just thought it would be the most adorable thing ever. But I didn't really know how I'd go about searching for this kind of thing, and I forgot about it soon afterwards. But now, now only is there such a romance in MY love STORY!!, but it's the main focus of the anime! The first episode was just as adorable as I'd hoped, and this is definitely the airing series I'm looking forward to most thus far this season.

I'll talk about Plastic Memories when it's fresher in my memory.

I found The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan pretty dull. There was no spark - the comedy was bland and repetitive, and I didn't feel any chemistry between the characters. Maybe it was trying to rely on my familiarity with the characters to prevent the need for actually giving me a reason to keep watching? If that's the case, the gambit failed.

Arlsan and Owari are the two anime my brother was most interested in this season, so I'm watching them with him, and I'm thinking he just has bad taste because uuuuugh, they're not doing anything for me. Owari at least has a good OP, but not Arslan. You know it's not a good sign when the highlight of the second episode was a bunch of soldiers falling into a hole of oil and the enemy throwing in fire to set the whole hole into a fiery inferno.

Also someone had mentioned I think in General that there's a lot of CGI this season, and I can see it, definitely. In some areas it's not bad, but others have been egregious *coughGrisaianoMeikyuucough*.

Durarara!! x2 - 9/36
MY love STORY!! - 2/24
Plastic Memories - 2/13

The Story of Saiunkoku - 20/39

Plastic Memories felt a lot more generic this week than it did last week. This is probably down to the premise of how decommissioning androids affects both humans and androids being quite appealing, but the characters are letting it down a little. The lead guy is generic, there's a typical tsundere, there was a woman that took the newbie out drinking (in a scene that I swear I've seen before, and seemed really out of place in this anime)... I'm glad Isla has some uniqueness to her, though. The characters will need to shine to make this anime great, and they still have plenty of time to do that.

MY love STORY!! is just... sooooo adorable! Takeo's dense when it comes to love, but he has a really captivating earnestness about him. It's encouraging that the issue of him liking every girl who smiles a lot and that he feels he might have a chance with has been brought up by Sunakawa, because that demonstrates to me that this show is likely to treat Takeo's blossoming friendship/relationship with Yamato seriously. I wonder what will set her apart from other girls in Takeo's mind (apart from her baking!)?

Oh, I also remembered that I watched Teekyu (1-3) recently. It was an energetic short anime - the fast talking kind of reminded me of Recess, but really, trying to compare Teekyu to anything seems like a fruitless exercise... I will probably wait until season 4 ends before marathoning it in about half an hour :p

Good payoff to the Sawamura fight. After this is Takamura doing his thing and then I think it's all over.

Sound! Euphonium had a single moment that made me angry this week. Where that girl picked up the flower or whatever from the ground. It was so goddamn gorgeous and detailed, even though it was just for an instant, it's not fair. Only time I felt this kind of mad was watching The Garden of Words. It looks TOO good KyoAni. For a TV series. DAMN.
Asuka a best.

I had marathoned Teekyuu, and I lived. I have no regrets. If I had chosen to wait, I'd have definitely marathoned Teekyuu 4 as well.

Yeah, it's definitely the ribbon. I think an article about women testing the ribbon out to see if it really works or not proves it enough.
