Toradora. Still in the early stages, but so far it's interesting how Taiga and Ryuji play off of each other despite their polar opposite, dysfunctional living environments.

Promare - 6/10 Weathering with You - 10/10

Watch Fate/Zero first as it serves as a prequel to UBW, and then the Heavens Feel movie trilogy after finishing those unless you don't mind watching them out of order. That's typically the recommended viewing order, though.

Shinsekai Yori [From the New World] - 9.5/10 Humankind striving to survive in a post-apocalyptic setting is one of the most common themes nowadays. The notion that man has to fend for themselves is as evocative as it is unnerving, but that very notion has come to be trite for all of its...

Higurashi: When They Cry in anticipation of the Halloween season coming up. Feels good to start a little early this year.

Finished watching Rising of the Shield Hero and, as burnt out as I am by the isekai genre, this one exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. Filled with interesting characters, an engaging plot, some decent action sections, and luckily minimal fanservice (I almost dropped it due to a certain...

Almost finished with Promised Neverland. It's pretty good so far, and season 2 shows promise to never land far from the original's quality... That said, I hope that some of the plot threads are addressed and concluded sufficiently because I'm in denial of one occurrence in particular.

Attack on Titan Season 2 as soon as I get motivated to actually start it, and then moving on to Boku no Hero Academia 2.

Charlotte. Has some heartwarming stories scattered about with a group of high school students (duh) seeking out people with special abilities who are being targeted by scientists. The pacing is kind of slow, but it's enjoyable so far apart from a really stupid repetitive joke concerning pizza sauce.

Don't waste your time on One Punch Man. Boku no Hero Academia is much better. ;)

I think the biggest setback to Guilty Crown having a solid ending is the lack of details near the end. If they were allowed an extra episode or two to flesh out what the heck was going on, then the plot would be salvageable, to say the least. But that's the beauty of rewatching GC: something new...

God Eater...is so awesome so far. Whenever I read that Ufotable adapting the game series into an anime and that Go Shiina was returning as the composer, I thought "Cool, can't wait to see it." It's well worth the wait. Many people may call it an Attack on Titan clone, even though the games...

True. And people complain that Guilty Crown should have stopped at episode 12. It's still way better than Death Note's second act.

The Holy Grail War is meant to be serious, because it has so many participants who have such diverse ambitions in mind. Every single character (almost) is determined to win the Grail in order to realize their dream. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect about the premise, though, is how the...

Keep at it. Those are all valid critiques, but trust me, things get far more interesting. That was just the first battle, and those stats exist to assess how powerful a Servant is in certain fields. Rider helped Saber because two others were ganging up on her. I'm curious as to what you didn't...

Are you watching the 2006 version or UBW?

One Crap Man. Time to see what all the buzz is about; bet none of it has to do with Saitama's asinine expression.

Yeah, the pacing in UBW was slower than Zero, but it introduces new characters every other episode or so. This gives plenty of time to show the motives of previous characters, and ultimately builds up to the true antagonist. At this point, the show returns to the darker tone from Zero with...

At long last, Nanatsu no Taizai. Discarding Melodias' stereotypical perversion (a real person okayed this), I'm enjoying the absurdly believable world of overpowered knights and talking pigs. Are you watching Fate/Stay night: Unlimited Blade Works next? If not, I would recommend that one over...

Towa no Quon (i.e. Eternal Quon), a six movie series (really just 50 minutes per chapter) focusing on a group of espers who use their powers to bring in others like them so that normal society is unaffected. There's a highly trained military group with six or so cyborgs working against them...

Can't complain about it too much, except for the Kujo's incessant callout... "Victorique! VICTORIQUEEEEE!" It's like JJ all over again.

Lately it's been a few minutes of Gosick here and there, and it's essentially a Japanized version of Sherlock Holmes. My guess is that there's going to be a series of "mini-arcs" for every three to four episodes for the inspector duo to solve bizarre happenings. The first mystery was pretty...

Boccano! was severely confusing. It tells the story from several points of view, but the events get really muddled and make it really hard to keep track of everything. The only memorable aspect is that the main characters are basically impossible to kill (you'll see why), but otherwise it's like...

I'm watching the Hakuouki series off and on. It's an historical account about the final days of the samurai, before their swords became outdated by firearms. As far as I know it's factual to a tee, albeit an obvious supernatural spinoff involving oni. Otherwise the characters are very mature and...

In anticipation for Fate/Stay night: Unlimited Blade Works' finale this weekend, I'm marathoning Fate/Zero and then moving on to the former. It's going to be a good ride.

Kingdom 1 & 2 was a total mess. Don't bother with that dung beetle roll-up. Somehow worked up the courage to start Sword Art Online II at last. It's far better than the first season so far, but some things are bewildering... Why is Asuna's hair suddenly blue? Why is Kirito a girl? And why can't...

Two seasons of Kingdom, which is somehow rated higher than Fate/Zero. This should be interesting. And also started RWBY Season 2. Rooster Teeth has improved since S1.

Baccano. No exclamation mark from me. It's largely the same thing each episode. Funny how, for me, I felt this exact way in regards to Gurren Lagann, by the same dev group who made Kill la Kill. The first half was hardly bearable up until the momentous occurrence which shook the crew to the...

Last Exile. Had a pretty slow start, but the plot is cool so far. It's about these two kids who run errands in the sky while there's a war going on between two aerial armadas, so it has a World War I feel to it. I hope it doesn't just involve the kids running around on wild adventures, though; I...

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn was a masterpiece, and with that I'm now moving on to Psycho-Pass 2 and then on to the movie, which only released last month.

I'm on Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, a 7-episode OVA composed by Hiroyuki Sawano. It's pretty much like how I'd imagine any average Gundam series--a war ends, peace entails, ongoing diplomatic politics are in the making, and then someone wants to start the war anew. Not too much plot detail at the...

Sola, about a guy who is obsessed with the sky and a girl he keeps encountering at night. As uninteresting as that might sound, it's only the first episode, and the plot took on an unexpected twist during the last two minutes in an epic fight/chase scene. I have high hopes for this series now...

Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji. What can I say except that I'm four episodes in and yet have no understanding of the plot? The premise is cool (sort of), but the episodes thus far are iffy, ranging from haphazard slapdash humor to the stereotypical whiny characters who add nothing of interest. The...

Mekakucity Actors. So far the plot is a tad bit confusing and the artstyle is mind-boggling, but I'm enjoying the exploration and usage of the super powers in this one. They can only be activated whenever the characters' eyes turn red (a la Code Geass). After episode 3, Mekakucity is currently...

After finishing Tears to Tiara (which was really good), I started Highschool of the Dead... >_> Well what can I say? Aside from the obviously superfluous suggestive themes (aka fanservice), the action has been suspenseful and awesome and the character growth is satisfying. But once HotD is over...

Tokyo Ravens and Seikoku no Dragonar are now out of the way... The first half Ravens was very iffy, especially with one episode dedicated entirely to fanservice (roll eyes), but it became nigh phenomenal in the second half; if they had done away with the filler early on and focused on developing...

Finished Guin Saga, Xenosaga, and Valkyria Chronicles... So many stories. ;J Going to start Tokyo Ravens soon. No! Spare yourself from the agony! ...The last few seconds are the best part about it (no joke).

After finishing both seasons of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, I started Hamatora (which I'll get back to...). Code Geass came over me by surprise due to the fact that it featured a lot of Mecha elements and had a "terrorist" group, which greatly resembled Guilty Crown, my second favorite...

Finished Wolf's Rain (possibly one of the most poignant series I've seen) and now I'm moving on to Arcana Famiglia, a return to my preferences of action and promise of intriguing characters. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.

Fate/Zero and Guilty Crown, for starters.

Finally finished Infinite Stratos seasons 1 and 2...the laughable horror that it was. Next up is Arpeggio of Blue Steel, centered around an invasion of a mysterious fleet after a global warming meltdown cuts off most inhabitable areas, and humanity must fight off the fleet, which has dominated...

On the final season of Shakugan no Shana...and afterwards, I'll probably watch the Shana movie. It gets better as it goes. :yes:

Shakugan no Shana. :yes:

Tsubasa Chronicle, a nice little lighthearted and fantastical series, which takes place in a fictional kingdom but involves "world-hopping" to different worlds with cultures and climates that match Earth's.

Ergo Proxy. Interesting story so far, despite things happening all over the place. You poor thing...

Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic. Turned out better than I thought it would be after the first episode.

Finished watching Burst Angel, by some miracle; though it's not something I'd personally recommend, because innuendo overload. Now I'm about to start up Steins;Gate--actually finished the first episode, and things got quite confusing. But I'm sure it'll make sense as the story progresses...

Just recently started up Psycho-Pass. It has a dark setting in the not so distant future. Reminds me a bit of Guilty Crown, and actually features songs by Egoist, the fictional band from GC. I expect great things from Psycho-Pass...and more awesome music. x3...

Currently I'm watching Death Note. I actually watched the first episode, but then stopped there for a bit because I decided it wasn't my taste (what with Light's fervid vengeful outlook on justice). Ultimately, though, Dracomajora prodded me to keep going, because of the inclusion of "L" in the...
