One Punch Man 3 - The autoplaying videos on Daisuki's homepage are almost enough to make me want to go elsewhere to watch it.

Yowamushi Pedal Grande Road 19-21
Haikyuu Season 2 4
World Trigger 51
The Perfect Insider 3
Sakurako's Investigation 3

I didn't understand why this show got so big, and I still don't understand the mass appeal 10 episodes in.
All I can say is that I just really enjoy watching it. I've even pre-ordered the JP BD release of the movie too...

:D

It really is a guilty pleasure/slippery slope. I've bought nothing home today from MCM except a Love Live movie poster and I'm happy enough.
Would've been happier with a Maki Nendoroid though... It really is interesting to see how far the fandom goes. Even at the viewster panel today, the last question asked to the audience to win a T-Shirt was "Who is the best Love Live girl?".

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex-Episodes 14-16

Episode 14: Another just alright episode. Had not a lot really happening apart from some cool looking maid robots and some kind of weird currency theme. I must say I am a little disappointed with this series considering the hype. It is great in places but most of the time it's just good. I'm enjoying it but not to the extent I thought I would.

Episode 15: I feel fairly comfortable saying that was the worst episode of the series. It was just Tachikomas talking for the whole thing talking about not a lot with it ending with them being decommissioned. This could have been a B story in a normal episode, it did not need a whole 20 minutes. Not to mention the voices were really starting to grate on me by the end of the episode.

Episode 16: Another good Batou focused episode. He always seems to get the best episodes. I don't think it's as good as the last Batou episode but good none the less.

Funnily enough I think I'd downloaded it by the end of episode 3. Based on the tutorial I thought it was pretty dull gameplay wise, but we'll see...
Maybe I'll be contributing to the 90% of twitter who post screenshots from the game in the near future.
 
Mobile Suit Gundam '79 (Dubbed)-Episode 1

I really needed a taster of this series to see if I was into it or not as I'm really on the fence about Anime Ltd's upcoming release. After watching this I'm still a little unsure but it has persuaded me a tad. The animation isn't as terrible as I was expecting but I think the character designs are still downright hideous (especially Amerou) but that isn't a massive detractor. The dub also is better than it has any right to be. I have no idea when it was dubbed but I was expecting it to be awful when really it's quite good. Far better than the Gundam Seed dub which is far and away the worst dub I've ever heard. Talking about Seed, this is where I will ask one question. This first episode was nigh on identical to Seed, beat for beat. Is the story significantly different in this show than Seed? I thought Seed was pretty good but I am in no rush to watch it again as I thought it was a very flawed series that dragged like hell in its latter half. I may be rushing to conclusions as this is only the first episode after all but I just want to know. I'm still torn about the release and I think I'd have to choose between either this or Illya as I'm going to have to start watching my money a bit until I get another job. I know in terms of episodes for the money this show has Illya beat but I'm unsure which to go for.
 
SEED is pretty much a modern reversioning of the original Gundam, so there's definitely a lot of similarities in terms of the main plot points - I'd say the characters are pretty different though.
 
If you want a better idea, I would recommend you watch the first compilation movie. I imagine the other gundams reused the formula of the original one but considering this show basically invented a whole genre, I think being generic is to be expected.
 
Is The Order A Rabbit??/Gochumon Wa Usagi Desu Ka?? (Season 2) Episode 3.

Another enjoyable episode. It's a pretty good show to just watch an episode when you want something fairly simple and enjoyable or maybe to cheer you up a bit.

Syaro and Rize seem to steal any scene they're in, especially if they're together. They weren't in this episode a lot but they still managed to have the best moments.

It was nice to see Chimame-Tai in action and I do like the way that Chino has grown since the beginning of the first season. It was a shame that we didn't get to see the actual dance, I wondered if they might just have basically done the dancing from the ED. I guess two cute dances in quick succession might have been too much anyway.

It wasn't a massively significant episode or anything, but I thought the communist assassin being armed with a shotgun that fired money was kind of a nice touch.
