Watched the newest episode of Log Horizon yesterday. I'm still not sold on the vampire lady, she alternates between moments of awesome and moments where you wish she didn't exist, at least not in an anime with a good reputation to uphold.

Magical boys ep 8: ...Was that a battle or a wedding? I'm glad someone other than Yumoto finally got to take center stage, and the fight scene was actually pretty fun to watch XD also, most relatable villain so far  Yurikuma Arashi: has been getting increasingly emotionally painful these last few eps, and keeps ending on cliffhangers guhh. I've come to like all three of the main characters. |

Got the last DVD/Bluray set for Fairy Tail. Now to wait for FUNimation to announce they're dubbing the second series, which continues things.
Strange how they decided to cut Fairy Tail right in the middle of a story arc XD But I remember it was only a few episodes behind the manga, so it made sense.
In other news, started to watch some Assassination Classroom too, since they're dubbing it as it's released in Japan XD So that's cool.

I watched the first episode of Assassination Classroom and it seemed pretty quirky, I liked the clean art style but wasn't super interested in the premise so I didn't continue XD The teacher's motivation and goal seemed potentially interesting though.

I started to read it a while back. I didn't get far into it, but I liked it XD So watching the anime to see where it goes. Will probably go back to the manga later. |

Annnd the yuri bear show also ended... That was actually a beautiful finale, I really liked how the show's themes came together in the end and brought out the idea of setting aside pride and your own self-image. I find the entire show artistically beautiful as well, ghhhh I love Ikuhara's work.
I'd find this a difficult show to recommend to people though because of all the extremely fanservicey (if not entirely gratuitous) scenes and the very confusing presentation of the whole thing ahaha...
...and now I have no idea what anime to follow in the next season, I guess I could finally see what the fuss is about Gintama? I've kinda wanted to for a while but the number of episodes put me off, I have a terrible attention span heh.

I know it's not new, but I just watched Occult Academy and I looooved it. Then again, it did completely have my number. It's a great mix of myths, cryptids, and weirdness from around the world with a pretty engaging plot and a very emotionally satisfying ending.

I'll have to check it out sometime XD It looks interesting from the little I just looked up. |

Anyone watching Ore Monogatari? I'm one and a half episodes in and it's so...pleasingly saccharine. Like, the last show I watched along with as it was airing was Attack on Titan, and so many recent popular series (Tokyo Ghoul, Parasyte, Terraformars) have looked to be the same level of !!! VISCERAL CARTOON BLOODINESS!!!-- this show is an adorable breath of fresh air! I love the gentle humor and unashamed cute moments.
...I will confess that I had it mixed up with Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun for a while though :v my friend showed me an episode of that too (which -- also cute! Maybe will watch) and for the longest time I thought *that* was Ore Monogatari.

There is currently a small Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun invasion going on in the forum XD I just finished watching it the other day ^^ As for Ore Monogatari, yeah I've been seeing things about it. At first I thought it seemed odd, but when I looked into it, it seemed like a pretty fun anime XD It's on my queue on Crunchyroll right now. So I'll probably watch it soon. When it comes to the crazy blood animes and stuff, I tend to like them depending on how much is in it. But I also like to balance things. Like watching Psycho Pass then having to watch something more light hearted after XD |

I watched the first 2 episodes of Attack on Titan on my 3DS (promoting the upcoming game). While it's not as gory as say, Elfen Lied, it's probably just as dark, if not darker (and that's saying something)

I am watching Ore Monogatari! I'm really enjoying it; I was actually going to post about it here myself haha. It's more cute than comedic, but there are funny moments and I agree that the unashamed sweetness is charming. I enjoy the dynamic between the main trio a lot.
Summary for anyone interested: It's a shoujo romance with a protagonist very much the opposite of your standard bishounen love interest: an enormous square-jawed bulky dude who's had no luck with girls his entire life because his looks scare them off and they keep falling for his pretty-faced friend instead. One day he saves a young girl from a groper on a train and they end up going out together, and they're both over the moon about it. The rest of the show is basically about them being cute dorks and the prettyboy friend being supportive of them. It sounds simple but it actually works really well and the expressions and reactions are very charming and funny.
