Almost through watching Tamako Love Story. Its pretty good, gives me what I wanted from the actual series. Some drama parts dragged out, but it was expected. I would be lying if I said my heart strings werent being tucked at at some moments.
Also, anyone else having trouble logging in on IRC Mibbit? Been unable to get in for the better part of the day.
Most fun imo Kekkai Sensen - For an episodic anime with semi-over-arching plot it's actually pretty enjoyable episode to episode. It has uhh, calling your attack porn in it though. ED is fun at the end of every ep. Mikagura - It's funny and stays pretty good all throughout. Slightly cringey at times but Eruna makes up for it. Danmachi - Pretty fun only 8 eps in so far but it's not disappointing. It fits its title well. Etotama - Genuinely surprised it's rated lower than a 7. While the male MC is generic bland male MC it's really the zodiacs that make the most fun. Cat girls antics/voice can get obnoxious but she's hit and miss funny at least. Snake episode was best imo. It's pretty funny and the CGI is srsly the best CGI i've seen in anime to date. So smooth. Gintama - It's Gintama. It delivers more Gintama.
Slightly more srs business. Oregairu - Think it surpasses the first season by a good margin. Though every dark haired girl is Yukinon and both pink/orange haired girls are pretty much Yuigahama. Granted the personalities are very different. But it's funny, you have sensai-Yukinon, big-sis-Yukinon, Yukinon, and little-loner-girl-Yukinon. It's pretty well written so far.
Budget UBW - Seeing as the fights aren't anything like episode 3 of S1 and only show tidbits in between heavy dialogue I've been less pumped about this but it's still fucking beautiful at least. UBW was worth it alone for Saber vs Berserker in season 1. I really want there to be another Saber vs X where she swings her sword 17 times in the span of one second like Saber vs Lancer. Arslan - Watching it for now, and it's decent. Not very hyped for it though yet.

I haven't started anything from this season yet, anyone have recommendations of the top 3-5 I should for sure check out?
If you're looking for stuff that aren't sequels, check out Arslan, my anime (Shokugeki no Souma), Kekkai Sensen and Yamada-kun. It's okay to ignore everything else. =)

That's so true about Yukinon. I like to think it's just several time-traveling Yukinons converging in the same place.
Weird, I didn't find it cringey whereas I found the first season hella cringey. Because either the bartender girl part was written awfully or it was just a 'why does anyone even care' problem. I thought the second season everything was pretty detailed as to not be cringey.

It's totally not OK to ignore Mikagura, wtf Souma!
I thought you'd be one who likes silly fun, since Shokugeki is kind of that. Mikagura is probably the most fun anime ever for me, it makes me smile so much... Eruna is super silly but it isn't hurting, but rather helping. So fun to watch her being hyperactive. :D

Souma just hates them for reducing every girls breastsize this season as well as almost ignoring totsuka I'd assume. But yeah, season 2 is way better than season 1 in my mind as well.

The details are very cringey to me because I see it all as very typical teenage anime melodrama and I've kinda had enough of that stuff. Everything is all very predictable, some things are way overdone, and Yukinon needs to ride a bike to the northern-most tip of Japan and just put everything behind her.
The one thing that is much better this season than the previous, however, is Yui. Like ahmahgawd she's third best girl now, despite her chest deflating.

I haven't seen Mikagura yet. ADT hype always lets me down so I'm hesitant.

Yeah almost melted when i watched the part where + Show Spoiler +
Tamako catches up with Mochizou on the train station to give her answer and she started shouting "MOUCHIZZZOUU" at the last second in panic that Mouchizou will leave and it will be the last time she'll see him.
I even dedicated my steam name for a while with that scene.

At least Yui is a lot better this season.
i like this season more than last season and it's melodrama that gives me a good time.
I enjoyed Hachiman's antisocial rants last season, I miss those. But I'd say overall this season is better. I prefer the antisocial rants to the "honmono" tears.

This not so subtle foreshadowing of horrible stuff leaves me wondering if I want to keep watching. Sent tell me does it end on happy notes? Does Yuri win out against evil in the end? Also lol at Sawashiro's attempt at English. At least there were subtle in the rip I watched, without it I wouldn't understand a word she was saying.
Hmmmm, you really want me to spoiler it? Well, okay, I'll answer how it ends, in really broad strokes, and really vaguely.
Season 1 has a happy end that prioritizes coolness over making sense, and is an end that allows for Symphogear G, which is in ways better than the first season IMO. Season 1 ends very differently than how you would expect it to end based on the first episode.

Have you seen Rolling Girls from last season? It's pretty much Mikagura with way better art and imho more interesting setting but without yuri. I think you would like it, if you like Mikagura.

Well, Mikagura is not something great that will completely blow you away. It's more the kind of show that makes you smile/laugh one time a week. It's still very well made despite the seemingly low budget. I honestly enjoy it more than things like Unlimited Blablabla Works or Arslan atm.
