Cautious yes on this one. It seems to be hitting the right notes but the whole "written by Oreimo author" thing is a massive albatross around it's neck.

Shows get sirens based on popularity. So if enough goons are looking forward to a show or saying they like it, it gets a siren. And yes, I count what everyone is planning to watch at the beginning of every season. And now Bahamut gets a siren.

There was absolutely nothing noteworthy about the first season aside from it just being generically really loving good.

Also :laffo: at all those saying My Hero Academia would have better pacing this year.

Yes, and you should anyway because it's an incredibly fun swashbuckler.

The only thing that bugged me about Your Name was both Taki and Mitsuha saying "twilight" (Kataware-doki, i think it was?) at the same time when only one of them was actually present for the lecture by cameo-teacher. Well, that and the terminal ballistics of meteor impacts, but I give that one a break for plot convenience.

It was good, and it didn't try to crib Ghibli like Lost Voices. Still had the classic Shinkai elements; I wonder what his long-lost childhood friend thinks about all this.

Eccentric Family s2 is starting today, so I went and translated a short story that takes place between the seasons:

https://mega.nz/#!8XBC2RjT!Vie1uPKWcETmM0nOViAJkpqfYF8hPjmNxUQ_ihn4YwI

It's not plot-critical or anything, but it's got a few cool character moments and there's a little callback to it in s2.

"Kimi no na wa." is the title.

It has a few showings over here, which is quite rare for an anime movie that isn't for kids or from Ghibli. Probably going to see it on the 25th.

Kado has a cool premise, but wow the woman scientist with the Fisher Price tablet is annoying. I'll give it a 3 episode test, but none of the characters are very interesting.

Feels like a blatant mashup of Shin Godzilla and Arrival so far.

I don't hate it, and hinako's special ability made me laugh every time she used it, but I don't predict it being one of my favorites of the season.

It's like Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka? with less interesting characters.

In other news, I get a bad vibe from "Clockwork Planet". Finger scene aside, it sort of reminds me of "Big Order" for some reason, and that makes me cautious.

Sakurada Reset and Busou Shoujo caught my attention, so I decided to pull the trigger on Anime Strike. Y'all weren't kidding when you said that the interface sucked.

Hinako Note didn't blow me away or anything, but I could see it being a nice cozy SoL show. Could do some reasonably interesting things by juxtaposing the protag's anxiety against something that puts her out there the way a theater troupe would.

Holy poo poo I was right. It felt a bit off from her stuff so I though maybe no, but apparently she's at least partly responsible.

The Eccentric Family is moving pretty quick, but I was already expecting that since s1 sped through the first few chapters, too.

Also, from the previews it seems that they're skipping over chapter 2? Or at least shuffling it later into the story since they still mentioned some stuff that happens in it.

But the weirdest thing was that apparently Kureichirou is just randomly around from the beginning now. For reference, in the book he doesn't show up until the second-to-last chapter (and it's kind of a big deal when he does), so I genuinely don't know how they're going to handle a whole bunch of plot points now.
