CITY THE ANIMATION (Japanese) - Episode 12 - 13 (Complete)
This is the most fun I've had with an anime series in a while. I'm already a big fan of KyoAni and Nichijou so I knew I'd enjoy this but it still surpassed my expectations.

It has the same humour as Nichijou which I love, along with a fantastic cast of characters. I love how the colours really pop as well with of course great art and animation, a real feast for the eyes. I adore the opening song too, I've been listening to it on repeat. I hope this series will get a home video release sooner than later to release it from Amazon prison.

Trigun Stargaze (English) - Episode 13
 
Yoroi-Shinden Samurai Troopers episode 4 Secret arts.

Dirty Pair episodes 22-24, Dirty Pair: With Love From the Lovely Angels OVAs 1-2, Dirty Pair: Affair of Nolandia OVA (Complete. A fun series and it was neat seeing my name in the backer credits. The AoN OVA wasn’t quite as good as whole but still made for a decent watch.) 3.5/5, 3.5/5, 3/5

Dirty Pair
OVAs 1-5
 
In the Clear Moonlit Dusk Episodes 1-3. I watched the first three episodes of this series and I'm already hooked. I love shojo romance anime, and this is looking to be pretty good so far. The female MC is somewhat boyish looking with her very short haircut, but I think she is cute as heck, and her eyes are killer - I'd date her in a heartbeat! I can tell this is going to be another big shojo favorite of mine, just like A Sign of Affection and Josee the Tiger and the Fish.
 
Infinite Dendrogram Episodes 1 - 13

Latest title from my backlog, an interesting concept for a series with characters, especially closer to the end where they had elements of the real life characters behind the game character into why they play the game.
 
Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube Part 2 episode 17 Masked menace.

Oshi no Ko Season 3 episode 27 Out of line.

Dirty Pair OVAs 6-10, Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy OVA, Dirty Pair: Project Eden (Film) (Complete. The OVA series was for me a more enjoyable watch than DP TV and its side story F005 was quite serious and worthwhile as well. Lastly, PE was a bit less engaging and had an overall less interesting story execution than preceding entries.) 4/5, 4/5, 3/5
 
Trigun Navel-gaze ep13-14

Honestly, I still don’t really know how to feel about this do-over for the red man. In its smaller moments, it can be really quite good, but I don’t find its approach to the overarching plot especially engaging, which is possibly why it makes me look more fondly back at the original anime and its jaunty antics. It still looks great, at least. There were a couple of very jerky looking cuts at the beginning (not helped by some histrionic 3D camera movement), but thankfully it seems to have evened out since then. Also Milly is back so, y’know, that’s something.
 
Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 16 - 20

Dancouga Nova - Episodes 6 - 12 [Final]

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Episodes 1 - 7 [Final]


Looking at some Gunpla the other week gave me an urge to rewatch Unicorn. I've seen the OVA before and I last watched Unicorn as the RE:0096 TV adaptation originally aired, which was nearly 10 years ago now. While I always remembered it as being good I had kinda forgotten just how good it is, I think it has a bit of everything, great story and action and some really iconic mobile suit designs (especially the Kshatriya), I was really gripped by it from start to finish.

Psycho-Pass Providence (movie)

I have been generally rather less than enamored by all the Psycho Pass anime after the original TV series, I have to say I did really enjoy Providence.
