Out of curiosity, would you recommend seeing the short before watching the 2 part series or not? I mean is it needed? Really wanna watch it but dunno if I should try find the short first or not.

You should totally check out the short first!

I mean it's not required to make sense of the features, and they show most of the important parts of the short in the first(?) feature. But it's a great intro to the concept of what a dragon dentist is, plus it's only like 9 minutes long, and right here in this window you're looking at. In fact, stop reading this and watch it below.

Remember to turn on the CC.

That just sums up every Gundam series.

I get that, I just don't know how many more times I can watch that basic set up and not get bored, unless they do something radical with it. It's why Turn A has my interest, the whole steampunk thing could be interesting to say the least.

Stop me if you've heard it before, but I feel War in the Pocket does break the mould. I think by following a little kid who, for once, is genuinely a non-combatant, it feels more like a wartime childrens' adventure story gone horribly wrong when reality intervenes. It isn't as heartrending as either, but as a narrative, I feel it has more in common with Grave of the Fireflies or Barefoot Gen than the usual fare.

It's the only Gundam thing I would unequivocally go to bat for.
 
Katanagatari - episodes 1-3

Wow this is better than I thought it would be. The characters are all interesting, and have unique personalities. The story while simple is engaging. The music is awesome, and makes the battle scenes just awesome.

I hope it can keep this up for the remaining episodes.
 
Nyanko Days, Episode 8

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Episode 7

Please tell me! Galko-can, Episodes 7 - 9

Interviews with Monster Girls, Episode 8

If only all arms tasted like Ice Cream. It would certainly resolve a lot of issues with regards to sweet cravings!
 
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works-Episodes 2-5

As much as I don't want to make myself sound like an idiot who only cares about 'muh splosions', the more action centric, less dialogue driven nature of UBW over Zero is already giving me a bit of a preference towards the former.

ACCA 13-Episode 8

Wow, another episode with plot! That dry spell of not a lot happening in the middle kinda makes me wonder if this series could've done with being shorter...
 
Please tell me! Galko-chan, Episodes 10 - 12 [Completed]

KONOSUBA -God's blessing on this wonderful world! 2, Episode 5

Gabriel DropOut, Episode 8

Satania really needs to wear her glasses more, this revelation has probably boosted her to Number 2 Best DropOut!

Wakaba * Girl, Episodes 1 - 7

After finishing Galko-chan, I had the urge to go back and watch Wakaba * Girl again, probably due to the Gyaru connection!
 
The Case of Hana & Alice

Already having withdrawal symptoms from A Silent Voice, so I thought I'd watch another Anime Limited film that I first saw at the cinema and love to bits. I've seen this umpteen times now. :)
 
Bakemonogatari ep10-11

The uncomfortable jokes about Araragi 'molesting' Mayoi, I can live with, but I could have done without the quasi-rape scene in this arc.

Sabagebu! ep10-11

I think the movie parodies are my favourite part of this show - the Predator one wasn't as funny as Mad Grannies X, but it was still spot on.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid-Episode 8

Not entirely sure what to make of Elma just yet. I think she was introduced a tad too late.

KonoSuba-Episode 8

That ending bit really got me.

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works-Episodes 6 and 7

Some really excellent fights in Episode 7, the animation quality is still blowing me away. I also think the philosophical debate between Shirou and Archer is quite interesting, and provides some good food for thought, as well as tying into the end of Fate/Zero.
 
Just started the Benizakura arc in Gintama (think it's episode 58).

I've watched nothing but gintama for the past 3-4 weeks and I'm surprised I'm not bored of it and clamouring for something else. Show manages to stay fresh and interesting thanks to its madcap stories and short arcs.
