While I wouldn't inflict Sengoku Collection on anyone, folks should check out episode 5, just because it's not the kind of show you'd expect do a specific parody of spoiler[Bowling for Columbine].

I've been waiting for The Stream to make a comeback. With this many shows, including at least two that have yet to stream here, I'm a little surprised that there aren't two people tackling this. I'm watching less, and I feel a little overwhelmed.
Watching: Lupin III Dusk Maiden of Amnesia Kids on the Slope Tsuritama Jormungand Dropped: Space Brothers Medaka Box Admiteddly, I only watched the first episode of Space Brothers but I was bored to tears. I can appreciate what other people see in it, but all I see are its shortcomings -- which, to me, there are many. Medaka Box I dropped after four episodes. I hear that there is a change coming, but it would have to be drastic to get me back. Will watch: Eureka Seven: AO Sankarea |

Before the season started, I felt that there really wasn't much that I would find particularly to my tastes. As the season rolls on however, I have to say that this is probably the deepest anime season that we have seen in a year. Tsuritama seems to be a case where a show has a pretty simple concept behind it, and the creators did everything in their powers to make it as polished as possible. It becomes further proof that the two most important keys to success are a deep roster of characters and great execution. It also helps that the music and visual direction are absolutely superb.
In another note, I find it fitting that Bamboo completely didn't include Acchi Kocchi, because it really is unremarkable. I never enjoyed the cookie-cutter slice-of-life type of show, but I'm really a sucker for Tsumiki/Io. The weird thing I see with it is that the show is really externally pushing the idea that Io is "clueless" to Tsumiki's feelings, but Io's character and demeanor seems to suggest otherwise. Also, while people really point to Tsuritama and Mysterious girlfriend X as being the weird shows here, Sankarea is seriously a trip. It's decent enough to where I haven't had any trouble watching all of it, but I can't seem to decipher the overall mood of the show. Is it supposed to be serious/dark? Or is it supposed to be a lighthearted comedy? It's leaning a lot towards the former, but the show is also sending some really mixed signals. Combine that with the actual subject matter of the show, and it's really shaping out to be a weird story. |

These are the shows I'm watching, ranked:
1. Fate/Zero 2 2. Haiyore! Nyarko-San 3. Kore wa Zombie? Of the Dead 4. Sankarea 5. Accel World 6. Natsuiro Kiseki 7. Acchi Kocchi 8. Hyouka 9. Space Brothers 10. Medaka Box 11. Sengoku Collection 12. AKB0048 13. Queens Blade Rebellion 14. Polar Bear Cafe 15. Phi Brain 2 16. Rock Lee and Ninja Pals Overall, its an okay season... Not really as good as Fall, but better than Winter. Pretty much everything in my top 10 is safe from dropping, and Sengoku, AKB and Queens Blade will probably be finished, but if they get worse I'll drop them. The final 3, especially Rock Lee, need to improve fast or I'll drop them. I'll probably give them each one more episode. |

I just can't into Fate/ Zero like I could get into Night.
I don't know why. I watched the first season and I just don't think I'm all that interested in the second. I like constant backstabbing and sinister as much as the next person (hell, I'd say I like them more.) but it can't carry a show for me, sorry to say. Half the characters I don't really like, aside from Lancer, Archer and MAYBE Saber. Not really a big fan of the Masters this time around. On the other hand, still loving Pirates (Can't believe they had THAT scene from the novels in Episode 17. No romance they said. spoiler[ Madoka and Lan end confirmed for Lagrange Season 2 ] Nyarko's amazing. Really wish it were more episodes then the 12. Still watching Aquarion live with a bunch of friends (with me summarizing). I'm really loving ACCEL WORLD. Especially since Episode 4. Was not expecting that at all. I'll be checking QB: Rebellion though. If only because the original was my guilty pleasure for a while. |

Well, after reading the whole thread, all I can say is that people are all over the shop this season. Normally there's a standout or two, but very few people seem able to agree this time.

as stated before I am personally burnout on most stuff now. I did watch nearly every show this season or gave epiosde one a try. The ones that didn't make cut are either due to part that I want to marathon them like eureka 7 AO, Hyouka, or I just didn't care as for such series like Sengoku Collection (Parallel World Samurai) or Medaka Box. |

Lessee, now that OZMA and PMMM are over, on my Crunchyroll Queue I got the following ~ the Queue is in broadcast order starting near the weekend, not order of preference.
Fate/Zero The Knight in the Area(*) Bodacious Space Pirates Folk Tales from Japan(*) Space Brothers Polar Bear Cafe SKET Dance (*) Kids on the Slope Tsuritama (*) ~ wouldn't follow it if it weren't available on Roku / Crunchyroll Android app. Also following Jormungand ~ the bar is substantially higher for series that aren't on Crunchyroll, since I can follow Crunchyroll series on my Roku and on my Nook Color. Crackle is the only other site that gives that combination, and the stuff it has that Crunchyroll doesn't are catalog titles. Its about twice what I was following in Fall or Winter, so obviously for me its a good season. |

At least you were able to get two shows out of the way, Bamboo. =D I'm curious to see how many get crossed off as the week goes by.
Because no one is streaming it in the west. It's a really fun show though. It's a super cute, fluffy, funny in parts, non-offensive, easy watch. It's a nice show to unwind to. |

I never watched Kimi to Boku, so I wouldn't know. Someone who has can probably chime in. |
