Princess Principal & Symphogear are my favorites for action. Haven't found a comedy that I really love.

There are 3 stand-out cases for me:
  • Mahoujin Guru Guru (Action / Comedy)
  • Tsurezure Children (RomCom)
  • Aho Girl (Slapstick)
They're all pretty good, and all three are on Crunchyroll. Tsurezure and Aho Girl are 12:30 minute episodes, so the pace is super good. New Game! is also pretty rad, but that has 2 seasons and is a normal 24 minute format.

If you aren't watching Made in Abyss, Princess Principal, Tsuredure Children and haven't given Guru Guru a shot, you're doing this season wrong. Especially the first two, contenders for best of the year so far.

1 is great
2: doesn't look that appealing to me
3 is fantastic
4 I dropped about halfway through the first episode.

Yeah, Guru Guru was totally not my pace but it's definitely something that should be looked at by everyone here. It's a love it or hate it kinda deal, but I strongly implore that you watch the first two episodes of Princess Principal if you have any interest at all in spy fiction.

The appeal of Guru-Guru depends a lot on how enthusiastic you are about parodies of JRPG tropes. It turns out I am extremely enthusiastic about them.

i don't really care about parodying jrpg tropes or whatever but guru guru has fun energy and i find the way all the characters bounce off each other really funny and actually kind of sweet

I don't even like early JRPGs and I still think it's a funny and very pretty show. It's good.

Yeah, that's why I like it. The jrpg stuff is just some nice flavor added to it.

I'll take a shot at Guru Guru. I hadn't even heard of it!

I 100% agree with you about Princess Principal. You'll know whether or not you like it by the end of the second episode.

They're all cool. It's just that as, Eela6 provides...
Only someone that is truly best girl would light up / smoke a cigarette , just to start coughing up immediately after her "pursuers" are gone. And that's why she's the best.

Is this a season 2? A remake?

a new series, don't think there's any indication of if it'll reuse stories or not. kino didn't really have a continuity for this to be a legit sequel either

new series. definitely not a remake. might reuse the arena story + kino's origin story but everything else should be new. the promo pics show the two other protagonist characters that the novels sometimes follow (shizu, that guy with the dog from the arena two-parter, and kino's mentor, shishou) so presumably we'll get adaptations of some of their stories, which would obviously be new material.

she's the least capable character overall but i give her props for using her voice box to deflect jubei's hanzo steel (accidentally or otherwise)

Gamers! has been surprisingly good these past few episodes. The Game Club has barely been part of the show ever since the MC turned down the invitation to join in episode 1, and it's far from the "us gamers, right?" wink-nudge-fest it looked like at first. Instead, it's more like an endearingly stupid romantic comedy, starring characters who occasionally talk about games. It's got some good jokes and the occasional bit of inspired directing, and while the MC is a spineless dork, at least there's a character who's constantly calling him out on being a spineless dork.
