aaand it was like if they came up with the story while putting some 4yo child to sleep. visuals are not making me happy either. waste of time, basically.

Best to discuss anime here then

Or as I so eloquently put it.

I don't remember the last time I got that kind of joy from an anime. I cried a little.

Currently watching Hellsing Ultimate, Assassination Classroom, I can't understand what my husband is saying(nice short, funny anime), twin star exorcists(waiting for more eps)

I tried the first episode of Orange today and the first two of Gintama. Orange was... alright, but some reviews I read have left me very disinclined to continue. Gintama wasn't bad either. I'm sure it gets better.

What I'd like to do now is go onto the second seasons of Tokyo Ghoul and Owari no Seraph, but I'm going to need to look up some detailed episode synopses, because it's been just a bit too long...

Orange was good! The production did take a big tumble in the middle, which is a shame because it made me feel less enthusiastic about it afterwards, but on the whole I think it's still worth watching.

So, let's see... I did finish the second season of Tokyo Ghoul. The ending was unforgiveable and makes me cross.

Over the last couple of days I started and just now finished Death Parade. It was good! I enjoyed it. However, it needed to be twice as long. I feel there was a lot of lost potential with this one simply due to lack of time, things couldn't be properly explored and explained, nor then concluded, and in the end it felt slightly muddled and rushed. Still, it had some great moments. Fun ones, poignant ones. I give it a 7.5/10.

Started and finished Mononoke. This was an interesting one. In a similar vein to Mushishi. The art style takes some getting used to at first, but I came to enjoy it. Never did I completely understand the stories, but I feel the ambiguity is intentional. It'd be in keeping with the tone of the series. Anyway, I would recommend this series if you're in the mood for something strange. I did love the Medicine Seller and his ever so carefully enunciated sentences.

^ It's so neat how real figure skaters are getting into it! I know there are a few, and some characters, performances, and outfits etc in the show are references to real life.

This week's episode was glorious. I cried again.

Spoiler!, highlight to read.

Should I watch it? It seems to have some -ahem- dedicated fans here. Do you think it would be my kind of thing?

I think it could be enjoyed by pretty much everyone. I'd give it a shot. I wasn't originally going to watch it because I'm not into sports themed anime but then I thought I would give it a shot. Was hooked from the first episode and was reminded of how much I loved ice skating growing up.

Yuuri is very relatable, I feel like he's the type of character a lot of my Japanese friends needed, especially the ones in their final years of university or who've recently graduated. I know I needed him, didn't know how much so until I started watching it.

I wonder. I am very biased, but I truly do think it's a very well written show with likeable characters that have humanity and depth. And putting the romance aside for two seconds, it's often very funny, too. I mean, you might find the homoeroticism a tad full-on, but... I don't know, it's not the kind of thing that you'd see in an ecchi series for instance, it doesn't feel very sexual; the focus is on romance. So I think it wouldn't make for too uncomfortable viewing for someone who doesn't swing that way. The soundtrack and animation have been good too; I preordered the OST yesterday.
