ReLIFE (complete): Finally got around to finishing the rest of this. Not anything I'm likely to rewatch, but it was a competent story which revealed itself to be better than it seemed on the surface later on (the first few episodes sucked). My main problem was that the adult cast members didn't act like any adults I've ever met, which made me think it was probably pitched at a younger crowd than I'd have perhaps preferred in spite of the premise. Not ashamed to say that HOT LIMIT was the main reason I kept watching. If a sequel came out focusing on Ooga/Kariu I'd happily pick it up again.

Time Travel Girl ep1: Charming. I like the educational science elements a lot, even if cute girls travelling through time isn't really something I'm likely to stick with.

Danganronpa 3 Despair ep1/Future ep1-2: I freaking love Danganronpa and the new series is really delivering for me already. The Despair episode was definitely the more interesting of the two 'arcs' so far but we'll see how things play out later on.

Love Live Sunshine ep2-3: Things started diverging from the familiar ground, thankfully, at least as far as the girls' personalities are concerned. Still no idea which character I like most but the blonde weirdo seems fun.

Berserk ep3: Speaking of blond(e) weirdos, I'm still watching this and the reason is entirely down to a certain green-clad gentleman. Still hate the clunky CG though.

Due to Japan Expo and general RL stuff I'm still getting caught up with the last few Funimation titles several weeks into the season :s

Kaizaki's MD collection is one of the best things about that show, although I do appreciate what they do with the jazz piano on the score as well
 
Sword Art Online-Episodes 16-19

Episode 16: I can't help but feel Alfheim Online not having the whole 'You die in the game, you die for real' thing kind of takes some of the tension out of the series. If death has no consequence, why do the fights really matter?

Episode 17: The idea of Yui essentially being Kirito's moral compass around other girls is pretty funny.

Episode 18: What I don't get about Suguha not recognising Kazuto in the game is that, unlike her, he looks identical to how he does in real life, minus the elf ears. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

Bleach-Episodes 257-259

Only 6 more episodes of filler until the main arc starts again. I'm so close now.

Berserk (2016)-Episode 4

I appreciated that this episode was a bit of a break from the action and gave us some good character development for Guts.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable-Episode 17

Now that episode was odd, even by JoJo standards...
 
watched the 1st ep of Trigun - not impressed, the artwork is horrible even for a late 90's show this looks awful. It felt more like a Saturday morning cartoon. Don't think I will bother with it any further.
 
Was never a huge fan of the Trigun tv series, but I still quite like Nightow's artwork for it - I think it's been long enough now that those really angular '90s styles are starting to look good again.

Urashiman ep2-4

I'm much more onboard with the comedy this time around, but I feel it would have been interesting to see what it would be like if they'd played it a little darker - there are enough interesting character tics and observations that it seems like this could have made it as a serious sci-fi action show. If nothing else, I really want the main villain to be revealed as an alternate future version of the hero, but if they're playing it for laughs, I suppose that seems unlikely.

My only serious complaint is that they're re-using the op and ed tracks as insert songs far too often - you'd think they only had two pieces of music for the entire series.
