Over the past few days I've watched Log Horizon 1-8. Refreshingly enjoyable compared to the first few episodes of SAO, which seems to take itself way too seriously in comparison.
 
Just watched Space Pirate Captain Harlock the CG movie. I liked that lots. Its got an english cast for the dub but i can't see if its been licensed anywhere for distribution...damn i hope it does get/is licensed.
 
Nobunaga the Fool - Episode 12

Another really good episode, NtF is a bit of a surprise hit for me!

Gundam Build Fighters - Episode 25 [Final]

GBF ended pretty much how I expected it to, which IMO was good and bad but having said that I have enjoyed this episode and GBF as a whole a great deal.

Legend of Galactic Heroes - Episodes 43 - 45
 
Fairy Tail 1-2
One Piece 1-2

I'm actually enjoying Fairy Tail a LOT more. It's giving me a few Slayers vibes, which is always a good thing. I like my fantasy/comedy anime very much and will fill a void until the next season of Slayers (wishful thinking - huh?)
 
JJBA: Stardust Crusaders ep1

Not the most exciting opener, but having seen some of the earlier OAV run, I had a pretty good idea what to expect from episode 1. What does interest me is how they seem to be sticking far closer to Araki's artwork than in the previous season - they're obviously taking great pains to be as faithful as possible to the manga.
 
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Episodes 1 - 4 (1 was a re-watch)
Panty & Stocking in Sanitarybox

My brother really enjoyed this, so I thought I should give it a shot.
Not really sure what to think of it...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Episode 1
 
Selector Infected WIXOSS ep 1. This has Madoka written all over it, from the directing to the sound to the story. High school girls doing battle in a game they don't fully understand in the hopes of having their greatest wish answered. The lead character doesn't know what her wish would be and her friend wants to help a boy dear to her. Sound familiar? I have no doubt there will be a dark secret behind the game as well. The only real differences between this and Madoka are that the battles are being fought with a card game in an alternate dimension (or some such place), and there is no 'cute-but-evil fox' thing... yet.

Silver Spoon s1 ep 7-11 (complete) & s2 ep 1-6. I dropped this while the first season was still airing as I didn't find it to be anything special. Now that I have the time I'm finishing it off and finding it more enjoyable this time around, maybe because I'm seeing the episodes back to back. I still don't rate it as highly as most people do though.
 
Durarara!! Episodes 12-16 - End of the first arc (and my favourite of the anime series). Love this show, hope S2 is just as good.

Naruto Unleashed 4-12 - Great arc so far. Good enemies.
 
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure S2 - Episode 1

Feels so good to have this back. Way too much awesome for one 24 minute episode.

Mushi-shi Zoku Shou - Episode 1

I only watched Series 1 a month ago, but I can imagine having this happen is a huge deal to long time fans. OP is absolutely stunning.
 
Finally got the chance to catch up and finish some series after a busy week.

Witch Craft Works 10-12

Mostly well executed but slightly messy finale to a fun series.

The Pilot's Love Song 13

Not much else to say that I haven't already said. I'm still a sucker for sweeping adventures tales like this and it definitely had its heart in the right place. The strain of the low budget and episode count could definitely be felt by the end though. As a result, it never quite hit the heights of The Princess and the Pilot, but I still enjoyed the series a lot. Would welcome a return to this universe.

Tonari no Seki Kun 13

Very happy to see this continue, it's just brilliant.

Seitokai Yakuindomo Bleep 13

It's SYD. It still makes me laugh. Uomi really helped boost this second season. Would love to see more!


Time to start the new season as well.

The Irregular at Magic High School 1

It's a shame I can only watch this on Crunchyroll USA. I've quite enjoyed watching anime on the PS3 app this season.

Otherwise, I was familiar with this series anyway so I knew what to expect. Loads of standard light-novel tropes and boring imouto stuff, but with a surprisingly assertive, strong and likeable male lead. The class warfare angle is interesting, and with Madhouse and Aniplex giving it strong production values it'll be an entertaining watch.
 
Fairy Tail S2 1
The new animation is a welcome thing, but I felt that they tried too hard to make this seem like a good jumping on point for new viewers, when it really isn't. Also, I felt that the audio was too quiet?

Nisekoi 13
Yay! Tachibana next week!
