Well well. I didn't expect Konosuba to have two relatively decent episodes in a row. Or for Kobayashi to feel so lifeless.

 

Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (4). disappointing.
So... do I praise them for being able to at least remain thematically relevant with their extreme filler, or blast them for reducing this to a glacial sludge? In the end I don't think I have the energy to do either: this episode just sucked all the life out of me like some moe vampire. By the time the all-Kanna-all-the-time segment ended I couldn't tell where the pandering ended and the manga material began. Even for a slice-of-nothing fan like me that segment was really pushing it, stretching 2 minutes of manga into 15 minutes of borderline tedium. Then they chose a segment that felt clumsily chosen to liven up the proceedings, but didn't impress. Not only was the pacing choppy (rather than snappy), but they also ruined Saikawa's character by having her be so confrontational that I actually wanted to see her learn her lesson. They even skimped on the animation for the dodgeball fight. Lame. The one thing I liked over the manga was that Kanna forced a catchphrase, but I don't think the translation was consistent enough for the joke to come across (not that I hold that against the anime itself).

 

Konosuba S2 (4). mild pulse.
Man, I really have to hand it to the folks who can take this crappy writing and actually turn it into something resembling a comedy. It's base, repetitive, predictable as all hell, and frankly just shy of atrocious, but when they aren't also phoning it in, these guys can really pull off a miracle: the return of Darkness was actually pretty amusing (also pretty awful, but I'm willing to look past that after Dragon Maid's fumble). As with the last episode they were just shy of nailing some hilarious material, this time with Kazuma. I can only imagine what they could have pulled off if they weren't haphazardly cobbling together a lot of little ideas into something that almost worked. And so I salute you, unsung heros that can make crap like this viably entertaining in spite of itself. Your dedication to salvaging this trainwreck will not go unremarked (even if it's still a trainwreck).

I just want to say Nyanko Days is totes adotes. Wish the episodes were a bit longer though.

Watching Psycho Pass. Pretty interesting stuff. (obviously has like gore and a bunch of nasty stuff but the perspectives taken are very interesting)

 

Not something I would recommend for everyone, but still very interesting 

[Guest]

What to watch next... hmmm...

[BashZeStampeedo]

I'd say "Psycho Pass season 2", but I'm not in the trolling mood (everyone seems to hate 2 compared to 1).

 

So maybe watch the PP movie instead (I'm not sure if it comes after season 2, though). Or if you're still in an introspective mood after PP, try Mushishi?

Baccano is a classic.

[Oshino Shinobu]

Rewatching Kimi ni Todoke, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou and Shinmai Maou no Testament at the same time, because I can't decide whether I want to watch Shoujo, comedy or what is essentially hentai. 

 

Meanwhile, I have about 15 series waiting to be started.

I have far more than 15 series in my backlog, and what am I doing? Watching youtube videos.....

Hey, we've all got our Game Grumps or whatever to cheer us up. Lord knows the latest few seasons of anime struggle to entertain as much

none of those, are FMA worth watching? I've heard a lot about them 

[Guest]

I know Gurren Lagann is an older anime (kind of, depends on perspective and what not), but I still can't get over how good it was. The twist and then continuing with the story to me idk just was amazing. 

 

(i finished watching it somewhat recently) by far an anime I would recommend to a lot of people

The older FMA and newer one have a slightly different tone, but share a similar start because the older series was made before there was enough manga to finish adapting. Because of that the older series' story is kind of a mess, but some people prefer the tone, feeling the newer series isn't as mature in some way. I don't really agree, as I think the older series is only superficially more mature, and both are basically glorified shounen anime (just probably the best shounen anime yet made, and don't really just aim for that demographic alone). It's likely worth watching both if you enjoyed one of them, as they're effectively alternate takes on the same premise.

Watching FMA. Something of the kind that I've never seen before. Only 1 episode in and so far, very good! 

 

(thank you for the recommend)

You might also get a kick out of Chi's Sweet Home (and its sequels), Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki, Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko, and Kuroneko (if you can find it).
