Finished up the not great at all version of Ghost Stories. Even purists will not find anything noteworthy in this version of the show.

You and Me, Episodes 1 - 4

Can't believe it's taken me this long to revisit this show, it aired back in 2011. Just so Chill and pleasant, and the knowledge of it's best content still to come has me really looking forward to going through those moments again!
 
Acca ep1

Well, that was a pleasant surprise. Despite having read the synopsis beforehand, I had very little idea of what to expect from it, but certainly I was not anticipating a sort of funky fantasy version of the GDR where it's 1989 in the future. I really like the art style as well, it has an approrpiately vintage sheen to it. Most likely going to be my favourite thing this season.

Onihei ep1

The storytelling feels kind of basic, like a throwback to some '60s chanbara serial, but I liked Onihei well enough to stick with it. I get the impression that they're making this show on the cheap and trying every stylistic trick in the book to hide it, but I appreciate that - it reminds me of what Osamu Dezaki used to do.
 
Ep 1 of ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka...liked the first episode. Its giving me the same vibe i got when i watched the first episode of Joker Game which turned out to be one of the favourite animes. (Plus the japanese VA of the main character is the same one who voiced the main spy in Joker Game)
Ep 1 of Tales of Zestiria the X 2nd Season
 
Bleach-Episodes 326-329

Okay, so a question I've had about this arc since the start has been if Kageroza was able to make multiple regai of the same soul reaper, which has now been answered with a 'yes'. So, this then leaves me to ask, if Kageroza is able to create multiple clones of the same person, why does he bother making clones of the lower ranking soul reapers? Surely, instead of making regai for people like Shuhei, Rangiku or Yumichika, it'd be far more advantageous to keep pumping out clones of Kenpachi or Byakuya, the two most powerful (I think?) captains, besides Yamamoto.

Also, random thought I had, I totally hope this arc bullshits a reason for regais of Kaname, Ichimaru and Aizen to appear. That'd be pretty cool. I don't think they will, but hey, it'd be neat if they did.

Blue Exorcist-Episodes 6-9

Hmm, that chef episode seemed a little bit filler-y. Not that it wasn't entertaining, but I can't say it really progressed anything. Oh well, the Shiemi episode right after made up for it. Her trying to make friends was really cute. Izumo is an objectively bad person.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid-Episode 1

This seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. They did seem to be pointing towards something a tad more serious near the end, so I'm curious to see if that'll amount to anything of substance. I really dig the artstyle here, it's quite nice to see KyoAni produce something that doesn't look derivative of K-On. It's probably the first time they've made something that looks more distinct since Nichijou. It's also quite nice to see them do something outside of the high school setting, which is also quite a rarity. And hey, chalk another openly gay character up this season!

KonoSuba S2-Episode 1

A pretty hilarious start to the second season.

ACCA 13 ep 1 (Dropped) - I doubt I'm going stick with this one, I really dislike the art style & character designs and found it incredibly dull. It's not for me.
Hand Shakers ep1 (Dropped) - An utter mess, terrible 2d & CGI that look like they have been cut and pasted together add in some terrible camera work and unneeded fan-service an train wreck of the season has arrived.
 
Lord Marksman & Vanadis eps 1-7

Love Live School Idol Project Season 1 eps 11-13 (Complete)

Never watched a Idol show before Love Live so i was abit hesitant going in but i really enjoyed it, found it quite similar to K-on with i mainly being a SoL show and being Idols instead of a band which is what i was hoping for so i'm going to order MVM's Season 2 & Madman's Movie sets.
 
Spiritpact episode 1
Interviews with Monster Girls episode 1
Gabriel Droput episode 1
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid episode 1

Really loved Gabriel Droput and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid :D
 
Konosuba II: Dead By Dawn ep1

I distinctly remember the first season not looking quite so much like ass, but it's still the funniest thing on.

Dragon Maid ep1

Didn't really know what to make of this one - it was kind of funny, I guess? It's clearly a quality production, but it's not doing a lot for me. I'll give it a couple of episodes, but could see myself dropping it in future.
 
The Lost Village - 6-8

Still waiting to see why this was on so many peoples worst show of the year list. While not amazing, I'm still interested to see just what the hell is going on.
 
Dragon Maid - episode 1
Overall the first episode was quite nice. I really liked the visuals and the jokes were okay, not great. Hopefully they manage to do something nice with the 'not set in high-school' setting. Seemed to hint at possibly something more than just comedy at the end (which I sort of hoped for when deciding to watch this show).

Hagane Orchestra - episode 8-12 (complete)
I found this show actually quite funny and given the episodes are 4-5min long, there almost no reason not to give it a shot.
Rather than attempting to create a serious story set in the advertised game's world it went for a more meta approach and IMO it worked.
 
Managed to tear myself away from The Case of Hana & Alice.

Still playing catch-up, so Terror in Resonance is next. Watched the first four episodes.

The video quality on Anime Limited's DVD version is outstanding. :D
 
Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar ep 1-4 - Huge surprise this is actually a really good show, enjoying the characters and the Mecha designs are great. I have a feeling this will be a bit of a hidden Gem.

Dragon maid Ep 1 - Quite enjoyable so far and the production values are impressive buy it is Kyoani
