Last season had Boku dake ga inai Machi, Osomatsu-san and Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, which were all very good. Subete ga F ni Naru from last year was interesting. Earlier last year there was Hibike! Euphonium too, which is the best KyoAni have made in a while.

I've finally started watching Kamisama Hajimemashita. Why did they make the English title Kamisama Kiss??
I used to read the manga a ton.

I enjoyed Kimi ni Todoke, it moved at a modest pace I thought with an interesting twist and turn here and there. It was very sweet and cute with a high "awww" factor which I guess is the reason I watch these young love stories.
At least there was not one of those annoying "they're about to kiss but get interrupted" scenes every episide. Grrr.
I've started watching Hibiki! Euphonium and I agree with Arren that it is one of the better offerings from KyoAni since Haruhi.
Have any of you guys watched michiko and hatchin. i finished watching it.
It is a serious anime. And the animations quality was superb, with cool music. Storyline was mediocre i mean i expected a much better organization in otherwise great anime.
the ending was cool, if you guys watched it [major spoiler dont read]
you might be surprised that she got a child, and departure of child's father soon after birth. Although not prevalent in middle and higher class. I have known many such women who have worked in my house or other peoples houses to earn a living. They all were married. It seems to me that it in lower class, where poverty is a huge issue marriage is not sufficient to sustain a bond. Although almost non existent in village the problem is pretty extreme in urban areas[read slums] where people have drifted from villages.
[spoiler end]
So i really liked how it approached the harsh reality of the world specially at the lower end from the point of view of a child. And undoubtedly they suffer the most. Another thing to point out is that the Director was a women, which is kinda cool cause i dont know any famous lady anime director although there are many mangaka. I recommend it to everyone. And please share your views if you have seen it. was there any cultural shock? if you like it then you can watch City of God movie another classic.

Thanks! I really enjoyed Boku dake ga inai machi... I'll give the others a try.
This season I've been watching Orange and Mob Psycho 100. Orange is good but the animation has become a bit of an issue and I'm not sure what direction it'll take. Mob Psycho 100 has been consistently enjoyable.
I also started Shirobako recently. It's from a couple of years ago and is about a fictional anime studio. It's surprisingly detailed and so far I like it.
I'm not currently watching any anime the show i am watching right now is Game of Thrones however i am very open to suggestions at the moment. I tend to like action but as long as the dialogue is good that doesn't matter.
Mob Psycho 100 has some pretty good action, although that isn't the main focus. Boku no Hero Academia is a good choice for something particularly action-oriented.
Orange and Mob Psycho 100 both just finished. Orange was good, but the quality drop in the second half really affected my enthusiasm, unfortunately. Mob Psycho 100 was great throughout though - I recommend it!
Lately I've been watching the second season of Hibike! Euphonium, 3-gatsu no Lion and Flip Flappers. The first two are ones I expected to be good and the haven't disappointed, but the last is something I picked up pretty late because it turned out to look interesting. It's been a pleasant surprise so far.

Finally watched sausage party and, THAT ENDING! Taco finally got some action, I was starting to feel bad for her there.
I have to get some weed to watch this again. Ok, for any 10 year olds reading this: the weed is still illegal, in most places, and responsible adults do not break the law and smoke illegal substances. What they do is they get drunk, puke, and then drink again until they pass out, that is what they do, and it's perfectly legal, but you get headache in the morning.

I am trash for Yuri!!! On Ice. Was waiting for an ice skating anime to come out. Totally love it to pieces, especially Yuri K. Not sure why, I just adore his character so much.
Best friend recently watched Mononoke and Welcome to the NHK. I'd watched both but forever ago.

My best friend was like "What the heck is that? Never heard of it" (how I don't know, everyone and their moms were talking about it on my Facebook)
*two hours later*
"THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN MISSING IN MY LIFE"
I haven't seriously watched an anime series in forever but is this not some quality good sh*t.
Almost makes me wish I was back in my gender studies class so I could do a project on fanservice in sports anime. lol
