I haven't really watched any new anime, but I cought an episode of yugioh classic. Watching that show with m dad is probably the only good memories I have of living with them.
I'm finding that I can't really get into Black Bullet, M3, and Ping Pong. I don't know why, but none of those shows are really doing much for me. Now, Chaika, Yowamushi Pedal, Sidonia, Majin Bone, and No Game No Life are all ones I'm really enjoying. Especially Yowamushi Pedal. That one took a little while to warm up to, but I've really enjoyed the Interhigh stuff.

Also, dat intro.
That's the one with the girl with the tail and the god, right? Very good series. Hope they make more of it.
Pretty sure that is Utawarerumono
And yeah I'd like more of that one.

Ok, well there is a girl with a tail and the guy ends up being a god.
I guess besides that there is little difference.

Noragami was one excellent anime. Even the OP never failed to entertain, it's really well done and not counting KLK since it started the previous season, it was probably my favorite anime last season.
I'm unable to watch any anime until Saturday but thanks to your comments I think I'm gonna be pretty bummed after I see this week's Black Bullet... I do like the lolis so I'm guessing something nasty happens to them... oh dear...
@DA's Forever - I disliked IS2 because the quality just starts slipping after a certain point. Some of the eps were downright boring.
Well, finally watched the final 4 Durarara eps... I find it weird how I loved the first "arc", the 2nd I started getting "meh" and downright hated the last one.
Spoiler:
Still, can't complain about the final ep, got some Yuri action and one final "IIII-ZAAAA-YYAAAAA-KUUUUNNNN" while he throws a traffic sign

True enough. Im just interested in where everything is going, But you are right, if a 3rd season continued the slide it'd probably be for the best that we stopped.

So I'm watching the Valkyria Chronicles anime. feth me running with a chainsaw. The intro and first ep have made me haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate it. It was, to borrow and slightly paraphrase from Yahtzee's review of the game "Christopher Robin and friends going out to defend the 100 acre woods from mean old farmer Hitler." Five episodes have not improved it from that initial pile of naive fetted compost, but it is slightly more tolerable. Not much more tolerable, but slightly. I already want to kick the Tsundere into a wood chipper, with the lecherous captain from 1st squad right behind her. The male lead is interesting in that he's the only one in this anime who talks like he's actually seen or studied combat in any way, especially when he talks about the vitality of preserving one's own life. He's no Patton, but he could be worse. That's my real issue. There's actually good characters in here. The disgruntled militia veterans, Mr. Rocket Lance who's missing part of his beard and his sassy female companion are stand outs for me as individuals I enjoy, even if they're playing to type a bit more then needed. I also rather enjoy the scaredy cat rich girl Suzie. I'd like to see her whipped into something resembling a proper soldier.

I remember watching that for a while, but I remember I stopped near ep8 or something. I don't remember if the anime is as disturbing as the game.
I watched some of it in a Let's Play and it's disturbing how
Spoiler:
cheerful and happy the characters are when they kill an enemy. Seriously, they are like "YAY! MURDER!". And in the first village, you have civilians dying everywhere, enemy soldiers shooting them in the back while they run all that, and everything is so... cheerful and happy.
It's disturbing

I mean we definitely already had this conversation about noragami being amazing when the show was airing. It seems no one paid any attention to that, buried underneath all that kill la kill gak. But it was definitely passed over by a lot of people at the time it was airing, there were arguably a couple of popular shows airing at the time. Not gonna lie I definitely called that this would happen lol I would also highly reccomend hamatora from that season of shows. It really delivers at the end and has an awesome soundtrack

I tried to like Hamatora... I really tried... but I found it boring and I don't know if it was because how pissed off I was that day because of work, but in the episode
Spoiler:
where I spend around 30 seconds watching a guy doing push-ups so he sweats, creating this mind-control "mist" that makes guys loving him ...
That moment something clicked inside my head and I just went "feth this gak! Dropped!".

Then I may give it another chance. This makes me happy.
