I know what I'm watching after class/Moot Court tonight! WHOOOOOOO!!
TFS is, in my opinion, far and away the best in the business. DBZ abridged has been amazing, and only gotten better with time. Hellsing Abridged is probably the best abridged series of all time, which makes sense because you've got the best in the biz spending a full year on each episode. AoT should be amazing.
Animes I'm currently watching:
- Kill La Kill
- Shiki (way behind)
- Needless (similar to Scryed in many ways, only 4 episodes in, and the ending credits are like o_0 wat?)
- Arpeggio of Blue Steel
- IS2
I have a few more I want to watch, but I think that's enough for now.
I've never really been able to watch any of the long Shonen Jump animes (Bleach, Naruto, etc., heck even DBZ), because they just drag things out. I do like reading them though. The benefit there is that I can quickly chew through them, and I can chew through almost an entire volume in the time it takes to watch an episode that is many 1/12 of a volume (or, if it's wordy, about 1/6).
I've decided I actually like One Piece - I's a bit kid-friendly so far, but it's good for lighthearted slapstick...
And Kill la Kill is insane but great fun - though it's not something I'd watch with the grandparents
To be fair, about 98% of animes I'd avoid watching with grandparents.
Unless you've got super cool grandparents.
Read I's waaaaayyyy back in the day, can't remember all the small points, but I remember it being decent, though perhaps dragging a bit. It might have had something to do with having to wait 2 months for each new volume, but I can't quite remember.
And all my books are in boxes in the attic and hour drive away, so I can't exactly go back and check
‘Your warriors will stand down and withdraw, Curze. That is an order, not a request. (…) When this campaign is won, you and I will have words’
Rogal Dorn, just before taking the beating of his life.
from The Dark King, by Graham McNeill.
I guess if I had to make a list of all the anime that I am currently watching, it would be:
"Fall Season"
- IS 2
- Kill la Kill
- Valvrave 2
- Arpeggio of Blue Steel- Ars Nova
- Freezing Vibration
- Outbreak Company
- Log Horizon
- Little Busters Refrain
- Hajime no Ippo 3
- Gundam Build Fighters
- Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Comedy wo Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru
"Previously Ongoing"
- One Piece
- Cardfight! Vanguard
Dark Angels- 7500 pts Tau- 5000pts Chaos Daemons- 3000/2000 pts Dark Eldar(allies)- 1500 pts Zoom, Zoom, Iyaan.

Aahh, I nearly cried with the Drill Sergeant part. So much laughter.
Well, since we are comparing what we are currently watching:
"Fall Season" - Starting Thursday until Wednesday:
- Kill la Kill (my favorite one this season, no doubt about it)
- Galilei Donna
- Golden Time
- Infinite Stratos 2
- Yuushibu
- Log Horizon
- Ace of Diamond
- Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai!
- Walkure Romanze
- Gingitsune
- Unbreakable Machine-Doll
- Non Non Biyori (2nd best)
- Tokyo Ravens
- Miss Monochrome (eh, this one is interesting. It's the first "gag" anime I ever saw. The eps are only 4 minutes each, and that's counting with the ending).
"Not fall-season"
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (only missing the OVAs)
Starting "Eden of the East" after that one.
"Fear is freedom! Subjugation is liberation! Contradiction is truth! These are the truths of this world! Surrender to these truths, you pigs in human clothing!" - Satsuki Kiryuin, Kill la Kill
Well, Kill la Kill never stops being this Fall's best anime for me. Damn, what an episode
Spoiler:
Plot development, Mako being a badass with an equally badass uniform, Lady Satsuki, praised be her name, once again shows why she's the boss and next week seems to be a very funny filler episode from what we can glimpse from the preview.
And aparently Mako's uniform is one huge reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure... I really have to watch this one day, Touhou is filled with references too...

Was it just me, or was IS2 ep.7 really short? It was like 16 minutes, with 4 of those minutes being the end credits. Did I watch some promotional video and not a real episode? I'm so confused.

Meanwhile in Golden Time Koko's proved she's a rarely seen stage SEVEN clinger. Appealing on many levels... but fething insane on many others.
Edit: Good episode of Golden Time over all. Lots of plot development.
I managed to *facepalm* 9 times the entire ep. They really
Spoiler:
Captured how goofy new couples are, but Kaga is off the charts... That was far too much lovey-dovey stuff right from thr start. Damn it. Screw her, Linda-senpai is the awesome one
I love how Nana wasn't just one cameo cross-over animes, how very rare.

I think we always knew that Linda senpai wasn't going to be winning the day here. Koko-san might be a little nuts but the OP and EP make it clear that by the will of God Koko and Banri are OTP. They were that goofy cute couple though. One of the WORST POSSIBLE KINDS of goofy cute couple. They are clearly That Couple Everyone Hates. Even 2D is pissed!

Spoiler:
Yes, you are absolutely right, it was almost a given, but still, Linda-senpai looks so much better in all possible aspects. It's going to be very interesting if his old-personality returns. gak is gonna hit the fan.
And for those who saw this week's Kill la Kill:
Spoiler:
So very true.

I don't think it's going to return, and if it does I think it won't kill off the "new" Tada Banri, he'll have the memories back, but the new personality is here to stay. I think there will be conflict from that if it happens, and conflict with Linda as she tries to work out how she feels about Banri (new) and mourn Banri (Old) while Koko hopefully will find some balance in herself, she's a tumultuous creature by her nature, and that type of relationship burns hot but burns out, it can leave everyone involved exhausted and tired and ultimately unfullfilled. Koko needs to learn how to have her own life and define herself, by herself, before she can really love any one. This is actually mirrored nicely in Banri as his entire character is seeking a new definition and understand of who he is, and where he fits in the world, especially a world that had a man with his name and face walking around in it so shortly before. Koko and Banri both need self resolution so they can actually give of themselves to each other. Part of Banri getting resolution will probably be sorting thing with Linda and giving her closure.
I might be identifying more then a little with I Couldn't Become a Hero So Reluctantly I Got a Job, except for the bevy of busty girls the concept reminds me way too much of my own transition back to civilian life.

Just finished the season finale of Korra*. Gotta say, I liked this season a whole lot more than season 1. One felt kind of rushed but this one had much better pacing. The two parter of how the Avatar came to be may be one of my favorite hours of television.

Well, seeing as I was looking for 'dark' anime/fanfiction just a while ago, and the Avatar-verse has been brought up, I might as well put this up for 'review'.
"In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same"

Golden Time:
Spoiler:
I see you have given it some thought. It can very well go that way (eck, even her father didn't want her to date Banri because she's well, herserlf!) so we may see some problems in their relationship later on. Still, this anime is being fantastic when it comes to surprise us, I can honestly say I was expecting Koko to enter his house near the end and create instant drama... because that's what always happens! I'm very positively surprised each episode.
I might be identifying more then a little with I Couldn't Become a Hero So Reluctantly I Got a Job, except for the bevy of busty girls the concept reminds me way too much of my own transition back to civilian life.
That was what I thought when I saw the first ep. I wondered if the author had someone in his family with the same predicament, maybe a grandfather after WW2. It just looks so much like it.
And this week's ep:
Spoiler:
The whole big store with extra low prices arc keeps reminding me so much of the old FLGS vs Online stores situation: In one corner we have their store, small, with no possibility of selling their wares extra low but with a fantastic staff, helpful, friendly, the whole social component. In the other, we have the megastore, the online stores, with great prices but without the social component, here we have God-Emperor knows how many employees trained to throw the "big words" and the "special features" of each device, unable to give special attention to each and every client and treat them as someone special. As someone who'd love owning a FLGS this is being very interesting and I wonder if they'll keep it semi-serious or go for the random-lulz.
I'm really enjoying it, fan-service and all and because I think it's the prettiest anime this season. So many colors, so bright, seriously, just the eyes blow me away, they are so full of color. I keep thinking about using some of their color combinations for miniature painting:

What's the name of the "Last" episode?
There are only 14 episodes in Book 2. Last episode is called Light in the Darkness. The season finale aired online last night (will air on TV on the 22nd).
Seeing people talk about Golden Time got me to look at it, and being in law school myself, I thought "hey, why not."
I'm at the start of episode 5 right now.
WHAT.
THE.
F%^&!?
Spoiler:
So there's a dude, who's going to law school, and he meets another dude, whose childhood friend is a tsundere and wants to marry the guy, and followed him to the university.
Pretty standard fare.
Then there's a tea club full of tsunderes who try to recruit the main character. And then a cult. And apparently the main character is an amnesiac. With a ghost of his former self following him around!?
What in the eff is going on? Can't. Stop. Watching.
