Devil Survivor 2 e.1 - Looks pretty cool, has some nice talent attached and that comes through in different ways in the first episode. The next ep preview finally made me realize that I'm a bit tired of the "mash lines from the next episode over the top of each other" style of preview, weirdly, I wonder if more shows will ever move back to a more creative style of teaser.
 
Gokusen ep1-2

Or GTO if teacher Onizuka were female and sole heir to a yakuza crime syndicate. Cringeworthy efforts to pepper the English script with mafia-speak aside, this is shaping up to be a fun little series. It's not as dramatic or GAR as GTO, but I certainly laughed at heroine Kumiko's efforts to hide her upbringing, despite egging on a fight in her classroom and battering the local bullies without breaking a sweat.
 
FMA Brotherhood vol 2 disc 2: Ends on an awesome cliffhanger. Mum was very tempted to move right onto the next disc, but we've decided to pace ourselves. She racking her brains over who Pride is. She does make me laugh with her comments. When Envy shows his/her nasty real self she asked "so did little children watch this then?!" I said the show had multi demographic appeal. So dodged the question basically.
 
Hayate no Gotoku Cuties 2-8: this show is so bad. I miss seasons 1 and 2.

Doki Doki Precure 10-13: still glorious. I plan to start Aikatsu once I catch up with this.
 
So i'm more or less caught up now on everything, i just have ep 9 of titan to watch.

Valvrave 5-8 - This has gone from strength to strength, it's a mad series. The first 4-5 episodes basically go through twist central and then you get something more easier to follow from there on, but it's still as good as before, if not more so. I was skeptical that it would be able to keep the quality after hearing some peoples reactions to later eps, but it really has been kept level. Eru-Erufu is amazing, it should be said.

Attack on Titan 5-8 - Yup, i caught up finally. This is some series. The only issue with it i have so far is a lack of character development. Not that it's a series that needs much, but it could have done with a bit more early on. It was nice to get some in 6, in fact i think it was necessary they got it in there, but Eren still needs a bit more. I'm hoping there will be some shown in later episodes. The soundtrack really does define this show though. Everything is far more powerful with that in the background, they pulled no punches in its execution. I still don't think it's the best of the season, but it's certainly up there.

Gargantia 7-9 - Serious to intense to background story. They've really captured world development in this series, and at the same time have kept it pretty balanced with character development and a good dose of action in these ones. The reveals in the latest one aren't to surprising by the contents of the episodes, but it's definitely not dumb. In fact it does kind of open up more questions for everything. The only real issue i had with this one was The divers who all seemed too happy in killing the whalesquid. I can understand in both Ledo and Pinions cases as they've had nothing but suffering from them, but them? Felt a little off

I'm soooooo frustrated that my room isn't getting done
 
Devil Survivor 2 e.2,3 - Has got quite the Evangelion feel to it, which isn't really a bad thing.

Current "characters made to blush under Hibiki's gentle gaze" count: Males 2 - Females 1. This show knows what it is going for.
 
Change of plan

I'm going to watch some aged anime that I got from up1 on my small screen tv. I decided to do this because long series and good movies deserve to be on a big screen.
 
I really enjoyed Mayo Chiki and wish it was a longer series, so I decided to start rewatching Ouran Host Club. It's the only harem-comedy (or reverse harem in this case) I can think of that is better than Mayo.

Also started Yugo The Negotiator (first time watching this). It's really an odd feeling to see the ADV logo again. Makes me feel old.
