Remember that Kemono Friends was a mobile game that ended service a month before the anime aired.

I forgot to comment this. Which says a lot about the series, if you think about it.
What I wanted to comment is how the writing about the MC has changed: the first episode made you think he was pretty smart and attentive, in how he discovered super quick the case of corruption and false reports, and how he noticed the blonde guy was suspicious (the one who stole his lighter). That made you think when he is involved in the coup d'etat he will be a 'player'. Now we have seen in the last two episodes he is truly clueless, almost in a pathetic way, and it has been confirmed with his inner thoughts.
This makes the series pretty boring. I don't know if it's going to recover.

Dragon Ball Super as the one most likely to be binge watched is a no brainer. A solid year of nothing but fansubs and youtube uploads with terrible comments.
The Ride On love!
People hopping into Orange after the finale sounds weird, since it didn't feel like a show that lived or died by its ending, and was exactly what it said on the tin right from the start.
Luluco being watched by people who already watched a lot of anime makes sense, since you probably need to know your references to enjoy the series to its fullest (even if it's only Trigger shows).
Also, I hope people who watched HxH on their smartphones remembered to make sure their earphones were plugged in at the time.

I ended up dropping it at the threesome super-power up; I just couldn't anymore... It literally maxed out my trash tolorance meter.

Most Like to Skip Around, Watch 3 Minutes of, Then Turn Off: HxH
since HxH stands for hunter x hunter and that is the only title worthy of those initials I have to be confused and not get that you are referring to skimming for ecchi scenes in Hybrid x Heart.
If I'm remembering right, both seasons of The Big O were upscaled for the Japanese BD release. Makes sense for season 2, though it's disappointing for season 1.
It's of an apparently abandoned amusement park which mirrors the closing of the mobile game. Show is a reflection of the game with no one left to play it + Japan's abandoned amusement parks. Meta.
Or what you like. I still think its my favourite new show. I just think it does not feel like a 12 episode show. It seems paced like a much longer show.
Scum's Wish 6
Not enough Akane this week, but her evilness has spread out to the rest of the cast anyway. Ecchan shows more of her real personality, she's really much worse than I thought, and Hanabi continues to lose her way on the quest to outscum the Queen. Also, I liked how Hanabi's icon on the phone was some fireworks.

I guess the hype for the last episode of Re:Zero was legit.
The series didn't do it for me personally though.
I was in Osaka with crappy 25kbps wi-fi at the time, so I ended up watching it a couple weeks late. It was a fairly decent show at times, but I never actually felt the rush to watch the final episode unlike other shows.

Heybot is a better dumb meme show but I appreciate the voice acting in this

I liked it and think it did a pretty convincing job tackling Depression. My only kind of hang up about it is the awkwardness of how the Love Triangle is settled.

Oh god the va for everyone is perfect. It's like the voice director told them all to go crazy and ham it as possible. Kazuma 'shogeki' and Aqua rant is too damn funny.

Was expecting something more outrageous, but yeah, i can see why people got sour by forehead and Kanna moments and Lucoa sekuhara a shota.
But hey, bromance part was legit good

Minagawa is the hero anime needs.
Scum's Wish 6
God Hanabi sucks, like I know everyone is awful on this show but Hanabi is just so lame. Though everyone basically coming to terms with the shit situations they're in, be it Ecchan trying to stir shit up or Moca being willing to take anything Mugi will give her, added a nice extra layer of suffering to the misery cake.

Boring player to focus on, the guys on the grass hill were more interesting especially with their commentary.

I've had a massive urge to rewatch choice Gintama episodes recently with the new season, tons of new watchers and the LTTP thread on the OT.
The thing is I only watched all of Gintama two years ago, its not like the Simpsons where the memories are old!

Speaking of Gintama just watched the Trial of the Century the other day. I feel bad for Hasegawa because the show always finds new ways to crap on him, but his misery his hilarious.

I don't know who over at studio Pierrot gave us today's episode, but it's basically everything I want in goofy animation.
Also Orochimaru spends the majority of the episode just wandering around the Leaf village for no clear reason without ever being hassled, which feels like the makers are aware of how bullshit his survival is.

It's because of the recent Gintama talk that I've continued watching after a several months break after episode 53 . I dunno, Gintama didn't manage to grab me like School Rumble did and there wasn't much content I really loved. However, it appears the show is still growing on me as I've been having a real good time now.

I'm four episodes away from the end of Penguindrum and still waiting for it to 'hit" me like Utena did around episode 28-30, when my view of the show, events and characters completely changed.
There's a lot of things I like about Penguindrum but its not a very satisfying show for me thus far. Take just the henshin/Princess sequences, which are all amazing - but they don't really feel like they contribute to the show the way duels in Utena do or even the court scenes in Yuri Kuma did. It doesn't feel kneecapped by episode count like Yuri Kuma, it just feels like it doesn't have anywhere its headed. The goals haven't been achieved the entire show (nor explained - still don't know wtf the Penguindrum is) and it hasn't moved on to anything else. Characters like Masako and Yuri show up but don't really have an arc or massive impact on the show and have it move on like in YKA or Utena.
It might have my least favorite cast out of the three as well. I like Yuri, the Princess and Masako but other then that there aren't a lot of stand out moments. Like the villain "Isn't it Electrifying guy" is nothing compared to Akio.
edit: the OPs and EDs are really, really fucking good though. Like even compared to Utena and YKA it wins out easily

Did you have something worthwhile to say, or are you just another Wufei?
Not sure as I'm not sure I was on the thread then. Whining I assume. My complaint was I felt the Karen story dragged and should have been shorter. Of course I've basically liked all *monogatari, aside from maybe the cell phone short series. But my complaint was more one of format. I'd say it's my favourite long running anime thing overall.
Certainly after nise aired there was lots of dental hygiene jokes.

Consider this a gesture of civility. Remember this for the future; a war with no civility only gives rise to massacre.
