Lucy, I think we can go ahead and still use last season's Natsume thread, if you wouldn't mind linking it in the OP. I'll go ahead and update its OP soon.

Also, it deserves sirens.

I'm watching that Red Saber vid, and she seems very good. Her voice seemed familiar - maybe Kero from CCS, I thought, though w/o her usual kansaiben - so I looked it up, and lol it's Sakura.

This discussion has made me remember this chain of posts:

Endorph posted:

i thought berserk was about the inevitably of getting hosed into braindamage

Endorph posted:

is berserk about the horrors of war? it just seems like guts wanders around, kills 100 dudes, and then the black lady gets braindamaged

Endorph posted:

i bingeread berserk and plutonis was right to call me a retard for not liking it

which made me lol at the time, but also, seeing someone who generally has reasonable opinions change her mind made me consider actually reading it someday.

just going back to the previous conversation about Anime Strike it's me I'm the sucker paying $5/mo for it and I agree that it really should be included with prime but Amazon seems to be making prime users pay for extra stuff in general, looking at what they used to offer in the music streaming & kindle sections that you have to pay a subscription for now. I think I'd probably rather have the option to pay a la carte for the stuff I want to use vs having my whole prime sub price jump up to cover all of it but if it went the other direction it might feel like I was getting more free stuff so I dunno. They're getting quite a few of the shows I want to watch so it made sense to go ahead and add it, but I totally agree that their site navigation is rear end and it's virtually impossible to find anything if it's not on the landing page.

If I had prime, I'd probably add strike, at least for this season, even with the navigation problems and such folks have brought up, but they'd have to license a lot more anime to get me to pay $160/year for it.

Tonight, I watched Your Name (fantastic) and the first eps of new Bahamut (good, fun), Re:Creators (promising, funny post-credits scene), KADO (boring, all setup, dropped), and... I thought there was something else, but I guess not. Anyways, watching things in that order was a bit disappointing, we would have reversed it had we known.

I watched several first episodes today!

I again fell asleep watching Hinako Note, this time for a refreshing early evening nap. I'll try to finish it off as my bedtime story tonight, I guess. Maybe this is its purpose, to lull me to sleep a few times a week.

Sakura Quest
seems maybe alright. "Yoshi" bugs me, but I see what they're going for and I can get over it, and there were a few funny moments like when she just backs out of the bus and when she smacks the guy with her bag, so I'll keep watching for now.

The Eccentric Family 2
is great, of course. I love the haughty new guy, and I can't wait for everything to come crashing down when Benten returns. The backgrounds are so pretty!

Eromanga Sensei was entertaining, but it's totally going to be trashy. I may or may not watch more.

Alice & Zoroku was a lot of fun. Easily the best non-sequel thing I've seen thus far. It managed to justify its double-length 1st ep for its introductory arc, when normally I find those to be a bit much for a first look at a show.

Love Tyrant is really silly, and dumb. I was entertained, though, so as long as it manages that and I don't forget about it, I'll watch it, sure.

Makeruna!! Aku no Gundan! seems pretty good as a short. It's manga is by Nico's VA, and the ED for the first ep is sung in part by Rin's VA, so I pretty much have to watch it. The ED's really cute, actually, entirely independent of its song.

Long-name-show/Sukasuka seems pretty good. Probably going to end up watching it on Sundays with my friend.

Grimoire of Zero was pretty mediocre. A few decent bits, but the writing was really hamfisted. I think I'm done with it unless folks give me reason to do otherwise. Lord, it sounds dumb when he roars.

KADO seems pretty interesting, but the two episodes that are out are pretty much all setup, so I guess the next one will be the one to judge the show.

I judged it on the one: boring and ugly.

It's the slowest SoL I think I've ever seen. Hinako moves so slowly and her animation is methodical and smooth. It's very soothing, but it's pretty weak on the SoL scale.

It's way different, yeah. Crunchy's version is what I saw floating around (in en) earlier today, so I'm wondering if whoever did that list screwed up or if they've somehow updated, 'cause it's not just a couple shows different.

Bahamut, Natsume, and Eccentric Family are all great, but they're also all sequels. It kind of makes the season feel lackluster when there's no great new series.
