Little Witch Academia Both OVAs - 9/10 first, 8/10 second - Was gonna watch s3 of Sherlock again but accidentally watched this instead ready for the show. The first one was perfectly paced etc a little weak on development. Will the double length felt a bit slow at points. Excited to see how this expands to a show

Watamote - No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!
A show i've wanted to watch for a long time. Did a fantastic job of portraying the social anxiety that Tomoko experiences. Often quite funny and at times moving and also extremely uncomfortable to watch. As with most shows based on an ongoing manga, I now want to know more about the character and whether or not she manages to move past the affliction she has.
Oh and having an excellent OP and a great EP helps too!

Absolutely loved this show. An average of 3 segments/stories per episode with the vast majority of them being full of laugh out loud moments. Good cast of characters who have solid character development as the show progresses (which I did not expect from a comedy series of this format).
Definitely a show I wan't to support on home video now, but unfortunately the PonyCan releases are out of my comfort zone with regards to price :/

Perhaps it helps that I approached this one in the spirit of an earnest yet rather naff b-movie, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of this show, despite it clearly being a much longer narrative shoehorned into an inappropriate container. If you can live with the fast-forward dialogue and regular exposition dumps, it's a neat little horror story with some exceedingly good artwork and interesting direction. To paraphrase something ilmaestro once said, it's not the best series I've watched all year, but it is the one I'm most glad not to have missed.

Erm right, I had no intention of finishing this show in less than 24 hours, but I started it last night and got up early and watched 5 episodes this morning before heading out and about and just watched the remaining five now. Just all round quality that I had to binge as soon as possible, probably one of my favourite shows in a long time.. Funny, great characters, very good soundtrack and great visuals. Roll on season 2.

Terror in Resonance 8/10
Psycho Pass (Re-watch) - 9/10
Wasn't sure if I would think it was as good the 2nd time around but happy to say I loved it again. The only slight issue I have is that it builds up the tension beautifully at one point towards the end and then it's like it almost starts again. If they'd have kept that tension up to the end or ended it at that point I think it would have been perfect. Sorry not the best explanation I know but watching series 2 now and I can't quite remember which episodes my feelings relate to.

It's not that bad. It's not like Kogami was literally the only good thing about the first season. Perhaps the biggest complaint I had with the second season was that it was was quite rushed, and in dire need of some more episodes, especially in the second half. Other than that, the heart of Psycho Pass, as in interesting mystery set in a cyberpunk future, is still very much intact. I'd perhaps have liked a villain a little less like Kogami (as in, we've seen someone whose unable to be detected by scanners before, not his motivation and all that) but even still, it's a fairly solid show. I believe I gave it a 7/10, in comparison to the 9/10 I gave the original.
In any case, the film is pretty great, so check that out. Unlike PP2, it has quite a different feel to it, but still one that feels cohesive with the rest of the franchise, even if there is a bit more of an action focus.

Escaflowne - 9/10
I had seen it before, but recently rewatched it with my boyfriend (who hadn't seen it before) after getting the Ultimate Collector's edition thingy for Christmas, its still one of my favourite shows ever. The characters are all really likeable and generally pretty well developed, and the story has some pretty great twists and turns. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Am I the only one who did enjoy 2nd season? I think it was quite cool even though not great as 1st but the 1st one was a surprise. 2nd one I was already expecting to be good and I wasnt disappointed. I remember well, at some point, thinking to myself, these guys are totally f*cked

The Case of Hana & Alice
Normally I'm hopeless at working out a mark out of ten, but this is an easy one because I've been a huge fan of this film since I first saw it at Scotland Loves Anime 2015.
The film was written, directed and scored by Shunji Iwai, which is maybe what gives it its very clear, singular vision of what it wants to do. The way the story flows so effortlessly is a joy, introducing the viewer to the cast of engaging characters as the plot unfolds. The dialogue between characters is another highlight for me, with some sharp and witty exchanges. Iwai's music, particularly in the handful of beautifully animated slow-motion sequences, heightens its most moving moments.
I love this film. It holds special memories for me, and I could probably rave on about it all day, so it's an easy 10 out of 10.

I loved s2 too it was superior to the film too imo. As the film is just sequel baiting it doesn't tell its own story it falls flat alone

I did enjoy the movie but its nothing out of the box. I'm a big fan of Psycho-Pass so, overall, I did enjoy both series and the movie. Hope to see more stuff from the franchise in the future.

Psycho-pass 2 was nothing more than a bottleneck season to buy time while the movie was being made.It constantly breaks the rules set in the previous season and don't get me started on Kirito Kamui.
As for The movie being sequel bait,I remember Jonathan Clements mentioning at SLA a couple of years ago,that Psycho -Pass was Production I.G's attempt at having their very own Sci-Fi franchise and due to it's success I can see Psycho-pass going on for quite awhile before it finally ends.
