Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic (Season 2)
Yessss, more fantastic episodes containing Alice, Karen, Yoko, Aya and Shinobu!
In season 2, we continue the super fun adventures of the girls, following a super episodic format so it's all self contained and very fun. The girls are super cute and absolutely adorable, I'm in love with Alice, she's so pretty and fun! Shino and her blonde fetish never gets tiring. Aya and her difficulties confessing her feelings to Yoko is still extremely cute and funny. Karen and her broken Japanese continues to be some of the funniest stuff I've ever listened to/watched/read; she's just way too much cute to handle.
I love how everything is self contained and episodic, it makes watching Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic so easy and fun. Everything is relaxing and there is never any stress involved. One of the best shows to just sit down, get happy and squeeeeeee all over the place, because it'll happen over and over and over again, just squeeeeeeee!! ~~~~
The English (Engrish) is amazing this series, I swear I think the seiyuu got better at speaking in English, which was a whole ton of fun to listen to.
I'm really glad that in the second season more characters had more screen time, seeing more people get involved with the girls was great. Kuzehashi-sensei or Kusshi-sensei was a welcomed character. The way that she had trouble expressing her feelings to the students was fantastic; always ending up staring in a mean way making all the students get back in "line", totally unexpected, but the way she ends up getting more fuwa fuwa with everyone was great.
Seeing more of Karasuma-sensei was great too, she's an amazing sensei who's super kind, caring and loving too, so adorable; she could be a student and fit in with the girls no problem at all.
Having Honoka get a lot more screen time this season was also great. She gave away sweets to Karen a lot during the first season, but didn't really have a role; in the second season, she still has a crush on Karen, but she gets acquainted with Shino and realize they both have blonde fetishes, it's so funny to see the both of them lose their minds thinking about blonde hair.
Isami also had more screen time and even an episode dedicated to her, this was pretty fun too. We saw a bit of Isa-nee from the first season, but not enough to leave a memorable impression. She's a total sis-con and it's pretty cute, she loves Shino so much!
The art style is still one of the best that cute/moe anime can adopt. It's light, it's cute, it's easy on the eyes and the simple drawings are so nice. The character designs are ridiculously cute and the girls are all 10/10, just fantastic. Love 'em all, especially Alice. I didn't notice it last season, but it was very noticeable this season, the girls have those extra cute red blemishes on their knees and elbows and things, it just exudes that this is a super cute show with an adorable cast.
The music is very happy, extra happy. The sounds in general just make you smile and get happy. It's even better when the BGM is integrated with whatever is happening, but all the cute noises made when the super cute scenes occur, just over the top cuteness and happiness, truly amazing.
Kiniro Mosaic and Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic is some of the best moe slice of life I have ever seen. It is extra cute, extra fun, extra squeeful and just makes me want to hug the girls so much, it's like.. "Squeeeeee~~". One of the best series I've ever seen. I hope a Season 3 is announced for 2016 or something, one more year left for the girls in high school.
This show was designed for me.
Im so glad you have joined the church of squee!
Im just glad yall finally watch this after I have recommended it a dozen times in the past lol.

How Maria the Virgin Witch ended? I dropped it midway. Someone spoil it for me.
The song that occurs here at the end of Non Non Biyori Episode 1, man with this scenery is just perfect. The music is so good and really well executed.
This picture perfectly encapsulates what it meant by :firehawk
Truth
You have excellent taste in cutie fairies!
Riding Bean is legit. It is indeed tied in with Gunsmith Cats.
Two of my favorite things in anime.
El Hazard is great too. Ifurita is amazing.
If I wasn't sold on Working! before, I am now! Ahaha, that OP is so much fun.
I believe I have most definitely joined the Church of Squee, hehehe. I feel like the first gif I posted with Shino going crazy, just squeeeeee! Kiniro Mosaic will definitely get those types of feelings out of people too, there are so many cute scenes like the ones I posted above; most of those gifs are from one episode too..... Had to stop posting because it'd just be a wall of cuteness.
Stop, it's a Funi show, it's now dead to me now,
*sob*
Still pissed Crunchyroll couldn't nab it...
Btw, dies anyone know what this is from? Cute and funny come to mind, but Google doesn't tag it..
Atelier, but the tail thing reminds me of Utawarerumono lol
You didnt ask
This is the stuff happiness is made of really. Im an expert.

A new mecha appears!
Gargantia without the SyFy bullshit is actually a decent universe with an interestingly mysterious world and a good cast of characters. It's too bad the OVAs made me invested in the universe again, only to realize that the anime is dead and that the novel sequels will never get translated. Too bad for those "circumstances".

Princess Tutu 26 -END-
Well, that was quite something. It wasn't quite as perfect as I wanted it to be, but it was still damn good. I'm not gonna do a full writeup just yet, but I'll still do a brief summary of my thoughts on the show.
Starting with what I didn't like, I've said before that the show is much too slow. This isn't entirely true; rather, the pacing isn't consistent throughout, with certain parts being dull, almost formulaic at points, with other parts being gripping and very entertaining to watch. I'd say that the most noticeable lull in pacing is immediately after the second half begins, again as I've said before, where a much needed sense of urgency isn't present until we enter the final stretch. While the first half is quite slow to ramp up as well, it works within the context of the show because there is no pressure and, as we are frequently told by Drosselmeyer, the story hasn't actually started yet. However, I think that the final six episodes more than makes up for this lull, where we get revelation after twist after revelation, which was incredibly enjoyable and interesting to watch! The story underneath the pacing issues never ceases to be interesting, however, and my issue with the pacing was that it was stopping me from seeing where the story went!
I really liked the visuals too, especially during the Tutu sequences. The spotlights above the characters and the use of ballet to convey their emotions really added to the concept that
The costumes here definitely added to the feeling that
They were all fairly simplistic with minimal flair, something which dawned upon me with Mytho's

All of the music was fantastic, too. I especially liked the use of Gymnopédie (First Movement) as the song to introduce

as a tragic character as soon as
appears. The majority of the soundtrack is made up of classical music, but the original songs are very good too, such as the OP (I know I've linked to it here before, but that's not gonna stop me doing it again!) There were points where I thought the music could have been a little more subdued or even not been there at all, but those moments were definitely far and few between.
My favourite character design of them all was definitely Uzura, even if she wasn't necessarily my favourite character.
...Even if she is
There weren't really any characters I completely disliked
. Even Drosselmeyer, as the antagonist of the story, was just having too much fun being evil that I couldn't bring myself to hate him!
Overall, I think everyone who enjoys a very interesting story should give this a watch, even with the unfortunate pacing issues that I feel it has. It's an incredibly enjoyable ride and once you work out the mysteries of the world it becomes even more interesting!

Not too long ago I saw folks talking about Inside Out here. I'm going to watch it today with someone, should I get the tissues ready for us both? Or is it just good fun? I know next to nothing about it other than that it is made by Pixar.
Haven't seen it myself, but it looks like it's both fun and you might want some tissues ready too; least that's how the conversation went when it was brought up.
It might get you, but its mostly just a really solid movie. One of my favorites in the Pixar canon for sure. Very very very charming. I dont really want to spoil anything about it!

Haven't watched anything by Pixar in a long time, but the girl I'm going with REALLY wants to see it. I gotta be the strong one, no crying allowed! LOL
Ill put it this way, of all the movies to get dragged to, thats the one I'd choose hehee
I really loved it a lot!

Good stuff aha. I'll share my impressions later on if folks don't mind, since it isn't an Anime and all.
Thanks - I'm interested in seeing what you think of it too!
On Inside Out... I was planning on seeing it this Wednesday after seeing a poster for it, but when I tried to book tickets for it I found that it actually releases on the 24th in the UK :/
Now what am I supposed to do?
Going by the definition of anime as just animation, yeah it sort of is.
Not Japanese but still technically "anime"

Kobayashi is one fucked up dude. I notice he see his parent as "gray" person. Dude somehow feel happy being a suspect for a murder. Akechi on the other hand is another eccentric detective with coffee and medicine dependency, just like Sherlock and House.
Damn, this is one hell of a season, so many interesting shows.
Particularly interested in GATE, Gangsta, Durarara X2 Ten, Monster Musume, Non Non Biyori Repeat, Dragon Ball Super, Working, Prison School, the one with nipples on Crunchyroll and Ushio and Tora.
I'm surprised by how many shows I'm enjoying so far.

Snow White and the Red Hair being split cour is a great thing, think about it. Bones already have a busy schedule for Fall so for them to do split cour with this series will lessen their burden. I mean they could have went with 2cours instead and that would of cause some issues.
I mean yeah it sucks that you have to wait but imo the positive outweighs the negative.
Have you seen Rokka? If not give it a try because the first episode was really good.

Agreed, it's a fantastic season!
Now to find the time for that and also some of my backlog (currently catching up to Shokugeki no Souma and Plastic Memories). I might have to stop playing games for a while.
Which I'm perfectly fine with, judging from the premieres I watched.
Alex has potential to be best girl. Hopefully they'll give her some better clothes.

I've come to learn to take what I can get from Narag.
Man, uh... how can I say this...
I enjoyed watching the first episode, but I'm not sure if it was because of its qualities, I was laughing out loud all the way through about how incredibly dumb everything was.
If that was the point and it's indeed a comedy anime, then yeah, I should add it to the list, but if it's supposed to be actually interesting, then there's another list it should be added to.
I know, right? For some reason I was expecting a mediocre season where Non Non Biyori Repeat would be all I cared about, but it's been so damn good that I'm already having a blast with the season, even though it hasn't even aired yet.
Can't wait for more Candy Store.

Definitely not going to be a "comedy" but the first episode did have a lot of comedic moments built into it. It's Key, they bring you in slow and lighthearted then tear that heart outta your chest at some point along the way with character development and actual storytelling.
The initial monologue already had me in tears. It seems you know about the story, perhaps from the source material, so I'll take your word for it, but the first episode was definitely a "so bad it's good" kind of thing.
It's original

Yeah I'm honestly shocked. As annoying and overly affectionate as the little sister is, they've done well to not imply any sexual attraction between the two. The second the little sister starts angsting over not being able to suck her brother's dick (oh but don't worry they are actually cousins or something!) is the moment I drop the show though.

Watch the first 50 until DreAca is shown then skip to 103. DreAca isn't worth it.
Caught up on the few eps of Baby Steps that I was behind. Last few episodes were really good, this show just completely knows how to balance the tennis and the life outside/around tennis parts. Would like a little more info on some of the supporting characters matches though seeing as they're so likeable.
Also Kuroko's is finished now right? I was holding off till it did to binge s3. So much good sports anime at the moment it seems.

Mike beat me to it, but..
Wel, going by the staff alone, it would be happy d for them to create something that bad. I mean, it may not live up to everyone's expectations in the end, but I hope they play out the original story well.
Uggh, I really hope they go nowhere near that. They will be close since they already introduced her the way they did, however, it will hopefully be a good wholesome close that can only add to the feels when shit goes down.

Classic gag manga Osomatsu-kun gets new anime adaptation.
Director: Yoichi Fujita (Gintama)
Series Composition: Shu Matsubara (Gintama)
Character Design: Naoyuki Asano (Saint Young Men, Shiranpuri)
Art Director: Seiki Tamura (K-ON!, Lupin III: The Woman Named Fujiko Mine)
Music: Yukari Hashimoto (Penguindrum, Yuri Kuma Arashi)
Production: Studio Pierrot
With the staff on this project, I think this has the potential to be quite worthwhile. I can already see that Asano is using the white character highlights he used to such great effect in Saint Young Men.
