Finished Durarara!!! it was SO good. I'm glad it took me so long to watch it as with an ending like that, I'd of been so miffed having to wait so long for Season 2! hehe.

Think Shuffle is next to watch followed by Mushishi as I finally found them both again!!!
 
Ah, Shuffle. I could talk about Shuffle for ages but I'll try to avoid doing so. It's one of those shows that I enjoyed quite a bit but can't help feeling that it wasn't as good as it could have been.

I've been thinking of re-watching Mushi-shi recently but I'll probably hold off a bit to see if there's a Blu-ray release to go along with the second season (plus, I have a pretty big pile of things to watch just now).

Episode 16: I may be slightly in love with Ema after that roof scene. Also, how the hell does everyone in this city get away with driving like they're in Initial D or something?

I had to watch that roof scene a few times, just to make sure it was as awesome as I first thought (turns out it was more awesome).

As much as I loved the first season of Shirobako, the second season seemed to get just about everything right for me. I think all of the main girls and many of the other characters got some really good moments and development.

Ah, I mean the split between the first and second half, since the first half streamed in the "fall 2014" season and the second was in "winter 2015". I suppose it'd count as one "season" in the other sense, I get a bit mixed up about what terms to use. I hear "cour" is popular with the kids these days.

There may not be a new season yet but they are doing OVAs, I think there's at least one out so far but I don't think they're legally available at the moment.
 
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (Japanese Dub) - Episode 48 (Complete)

The journey has ended.

DIO unleashed the road-roller and still failed to defeat the mighty Jotaro, yare yare daze.

I'm surprised Joseph managed to live, I'm so happy (I was nearly pissed off when he fooled us, thinking he was possessed by DIO).

Unfortunately unlike the 2012 adaptation (Phantom Blood & Battle Tendency), there were no teases for Diamond is Unbreakable (I assume there wasn't one at the end of Stardust Crusaders manga).

Now then:

Good finale. Was a little disappointed at the lack of a Part 4 teaser of some kind. I really hope a Part 4 anime gets made.

The teaser for Part 3 wasn't aired on TV. It was exclusively added after the credits of the last episode on the BD. It could still happen but I suppose it all comes down to sales.
In the first week of release the first Jojo BD apparently sold >20k, whilst SC's first vol sold 12k and has trailed off further each volume. Considering most shows don't even break 10k, it's not like it's doing bad by any means whatsoever.

Apparenty Part 3 (the manga) never included a teaser for Part 4 so I'm not fussed.

I imagine it's almost impossible to have a season 2 do better than the first as you'd need to have seen the previous series to watch the sequel.

Ah I see. I think Cour would be the right word but Season is still fine. I was just a little puzzled since MAL didn't have the 2 cours listed separately. For example, Aldnoah Zero and JoJo both had a break between cours and MAL counted them as separate entries. I hope there is a S2 though (Assuming the end of S1 leaves room for one) as I am really enjoying the show.

I'm still not clear on what (if any) relation 346 Pro have to 765 Pro from the main series.

I'm pretty sure it's "none", although there may be some kind of vague business relationship fudged into the phone game somewhere as that has some 765 Idols that you can collect.

Completely agree with that sentiment, exactly how I feel the series. I have to say, at this stage i'm not overly bothered by the new GitS movie.
