4 years ago when I became hooked to monogatari nonstop I always felt that rewatching everything never got old. Such was the case, I awaited more crab action next time, all was well. 1 year went by, I self inflicted PTSD thanks to Mayan shenanigans, I graduated and watched the badly named and paced second season. Too little crab, too much snake. Stopped before koi, having undergone a lovely first college year. Last year I tried getting back in but always panicked about seeing my favorite show again after so long. Felt really bad missing the recent season but insisted on rewatching the whole thing. Up to episode 10, feeling somewhat detached, desensitized to certain jokes through ptsd, and hollow. What should I do, considering the following above things and anxiety about catching up? I hope i havent outgrown this masterpiece or something.

Hikaru no Go was an anime about Go and also a ghost that decided to take residence in some kid to turn him into a Go master. There was a lot of focus on Go. It instilled a desire to play Hearts of Iron in me so I did that after the requisite five episodes. That is literally all I can remember about it.The Shortest Path posted:Cowboy Bebop It's this, this is the anime you should watch. Love Live Hibike! Euphonium Tari Tari Symphogear Haruchika

5 stages of madoka Ep. 4-5: Let's get this done with Show, I try to compliment you when I can but it's like you just don't want me to. You had this nice bit of subtlety going with hospital-kun (who I thought was a girl, whoops), but you can't go 5 minutes this episode without faceless background characters expositing about things you were doing a good job about showing not telling. I have never been so disappointed in a magic girl anime. Pink continues to be passive and ineffectual. I figured out why she's the main character though. It's so she can bum around being wishy washy and make her wish at like the series finale or something. They've been playing up this whole wishing theme, and it wouldn't make sense to have all the whishes get wished so soon. So I bet pink gets to be painfully indecisive the whole series doesn't she. Black would probably have an easier time getting people to stop signing up for her job if she could stop being moody and mysterious for 2 minutes and give a straight explanation about why her job sucks so much. Blue decides that she "will never regret this". I bet we can guess how that ends. Final Verdict Well I won't be continuing this one. The flying circus scenes were fun and creative but unfortunately the show is less about them and more about discussing the ~true meaning~ of being a magic girl. I'm aware I'm not the target audience for this sort of thing, but I was under the impression that magic girl stuff was supposed to be kitschy and fun. This is like if you remade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but had michelangelo die in the second episode, and had the rest dominated with donatello ruminating about how his brother's deeds will go unappreciated by the populace they're forced to hide from. It's the same reason I can't take batman's emotional turmoil seriously. It's because he's in a loving bat costume.

Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans is really good you guys. I'm up to episode 15. This is probably my favorite Gundam series since the original movie trilogy. It's already way more consistent than Gundam 00, and the setting, plot, and characters all serve to reinforce the theme well.

It keeps being good all the way through episode 24, and since next week's is the last episode, I'm guessing it's going to stay good all the way through the end.

Akito the Exile starts off by saying it's the month of Floreal. Does the Code Geass world seriously use the French Revolutionary Calendar?

IIRC, Britannia came about from the British royal family fleeing to the colonies (which I guess they still controlled?) when Napoleon threatened. Neat touch on the calendar.

The three major divergences in the timeline are the Brits kicking Rome off the isles and founding the Britannian Empire, Benjamin Franklin betraying the American Revolution and it therefore failing, and Napoleon succeeding in his conquest of Europe and founding what became the EU, exiling the Britannian nobility to the Americas. E: Eowyn of Britannia, George Washington, and Napoleon all having Geass in their relevant examples.

I think he did all the work of building the EU as an empire and then got executed before actually installing himself as emperor, or something? A representative democracy took over immediately as the modern EU, regardless. None of the post-colonial imperialism crap in the mid-late 1800s happened. There's not much of an explanation for a lot of this it's just kind of inferred by comments made by the narrator before CG episodes or based on offhand remarks by CC

Just their equivalent of the European Union, since it's supposed to be a product of said revolution. The new director likes this sort of content so he wanted to emphasize the alternate history angle more openly than the TV series. Some of his other special interests also show up later on, with...relatively mixed results, though I still liked the OVA as a whole.

Love Live is cute and good and fun and the whole thing is so positive and energetic.  I really like the character dynamics and the way it balances the comedy with more serious moments. I also really like how well it captures the atmosphere of a small ensemble with no standards but a lot of focus. They're all determined to be the best idols they can be and to make sure the others are the best idols they can be, even if none of the have much idea of how to idol and there's more people on stage than in the audience and no one even cares about them. Honoka shouldn't dance in the street though, that's dangerous.  She should dance in safer places such as littleorv's av. AnoHito posted:Love Live is a cute show that made me like idols. Go watch it. Symphogear apparently has idols, which you like, so you should watch that. 1. Ideon 2. Lupin III 3. Brigadoon 4. Strange Dawn 5. Sakura Wars

Admittedly, the European KMF models are more jumpy, but I suppose it's all covered under the principle of actual physics not really mattering.

I've been streaming OPs lately and there have been a bunch of shows that piqued my curiosity that are obscure or just once-popular things that faded away. Someone decide my fate.
