Yawara ep4-6

The addition of sneering playboy Kazamatsuri (Akira Kamiya!) as a potential suitor for Yawara probably reads as more uncomfortable now that it might have at the time, given that she is presumably 17 and he seems to be around 30, but I do like that the show gradually seems to be developing him into a more rounded character than his initial introduction as a straight up heel might have suggested.

Finished Terror in Resonance and man Yoko Kanno really made another masterpiece soundtrack. Had a few issues with the story in the second half but I really enjoyed the series. Shibazaki is a clear favourite character

Also now 64 episodes into The Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Before this Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood held the highest episode count in a series I've watched so it's a pretty big milestone. You can't convince me to start a long running, 100+ episode Jump series but I'll happily see LOTGH to the end. Fantastic show so far

The Duke of Death and His Maid ep 12 (complete)
Declaration!
Loved that ending, although it was very much the end of the beginning type of thing. The romance is sweet and the characters are mostly fun. Definitely be watching the sequel.
The CG characters are very similar to Hi Score Girl which I quite liked, but they were in a modern setting whereas Duke/Maid has a older setting and it is a bit jarring sometimes.
8/10

The Case Study of Vanitas ep 12 (complete)
This however was a terrible last episode. We may have learnt a few crumbs of info, but nothing happened. For a show with its fair share of action, some sort of sub boss fight could have happened. No it just ended with them on a train. I guess it's more an end of a part 1 rather than season 1 by the sounds of it, but when scoring on MAL you have to score what you've seen, so half of what is intended and not the whole.
The story has its intrigue, but the tone is all over the place and I didn't particularly like any of the characters. Vanitas is arrogant and Noe is a bit of a wet blanket.
The art and animation were pretty good though.
6/10

The Dungeon of Black Company ep 11
Power!

Kageki Shoujo!! ep 12
Auditions continue.

Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan episode 12 A good place.

Love Live! Superstar!! episode 8 Troubled.

Kuroko no Basket 3rd Season episodes 69-75 (Complete. Another enjoyable season, possibly the strongest overall top of the three.) 3.5/5

Kuroko no Basket The Movie LAST GAME (Film) Wasn’t as keen on this overall as the American team were a bit too over the top for me, ending was handled fairly well though and the actual basketball was still fun to watch. 3.5/5

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Love Live! Superstar!! Episode 7 Treasured memories.

Seirei Gensouki - Spirit Chronicles Episode 12 Bridenapped. (Complete. A decent fantasy series with a likeable array cast of characters for which I would happily watch another season of if and when one comes out.) 3/5

 

[Gemsy-chan]

Ep 12 of Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan
Ep 12 of The Case Study of Vanitas...i'm loving it. Nice that its such a faithful adaption of the manga. Good place to end the 1st part so we can go straight into the Beast of Gevaudin arc in part 2 and all the awesome fights i know they'll be.

 

[WMD]

Infinite Dendrogram
Basically the opposite of SAO. Its just a game but the AI is so good that if an NPC dies they are gone forever. Theres basically no stakes but the earnest seriousness that the MC has for it makes it an entertaining watch.

Akame Ga Kill Spanish dub
Great show and was interesting to watch in Spanish this time. I'd actually forgotten far more than I realised. And it has one of the best finales.

K-on! season 2 ep1-13 rewatch
This show is the pinnacle of human achievement. Don't @ me.

Ghost In The Shell rewatch
This was the first anime I watched and it's an incredible film.

Started two new series from the physical backlog with Assassination Classroom and Your Lie in April. Already familiar with Assassination Classroom from reading the manga and already liking the adaptation so far. Your Lie in April has a great start too, benefitting from a really strong production. Really impressed with episode 5 however which was led by joint episode directors Masashi Ishihama and Takashi Kojima. Always great to see a solo key animated episode by Kojima and Ishihama's storyboards were a great match for his style.

And of course I watched a bit more Macross Delta to mark the 21st night
