Voted for both GoHands shows. They'll probably not make it anyway. Oh well.
I really want to watch Zom 100. I have the first three volumes and it's been quite the blast. I really hope someone gets Vol. 4 and onwards for me. Why? Because I live in Nigeria, and I refuse to spend >N10,000 for manga. Also, the anime looks ridiculously good. I knew I could trust Kazuki Kawagoe and Bug Films on this one. I can't do that now, unfortunately, because I've practically sold my soul to my AniList and Wheel of Names. My schedule looks like this now Sunday: Show By Rock (18/24) Monday: Vermeil in Gold 3 (3/12) Tuesday: Gosick (3/24) Wednesday: Haikyu (73/85) Thursday: Welcome to the Ballroom (3/24) Friday: Mob Psycho 100 (29/38) Saturday: Summer Time Rendering (0/25) Yeah, wish me luck. Hopefully I get Glasses Girl or Zom 100, when I'm done with all this and Nana. |

I voted for everything I’m watching this season:
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior My Happy Marriage Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure I really hope Sacrificial Princess and Soaring Sky make the cut this time. |

I voted for everything I'm watching, plan on watching, or have already read the novels and manga they're based on.
"Reign of the Seven Spellblades". Despite how the first episode made it seem like it's just another generic anime about a magic high school, it very much isn't. It has some things going on under the surface that take some time to be unveiled, but definately will shock people who don't know the source material. "The Duke of Death and His Maid". I haven't read much of the manga, but what I have read was very endearing while also being dark and mysterious. "Mushoku Tensei". It's good and what's going to happen in this season will be even better than what happened last season. "Classroom for Heroes". I watched the first episode and it made me interested to see what happens next. I might drop it a few episodes in, and I might not. "Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts". From what I've heard of it, and what the reviewers have said about it, I want to check it out. I had too much going on when the first cour was airing, so I didn't watch it then. But now I do want to check it out. "YOHANE THE PARHELION - SUNSHINE in the MIRROR". It's a Love Live spin-off. Enough said.[/b] |

So is it actually The Devil Is a Part-Timer season 3, or is it just season 2 part 2/second half with it just being a split cour. I've been seeing people say both.

Crunchyroll listed today's episode as episode 13 and doesn't have a separate page for it, so they're counting this cour as the second half of s2. That's the designation I would use for it. It's all really just semantics, though. Frankly, I think single-cour installments should always be considered part of the same season if they air less than a year apart. |

I can agree to this, but it feels like the problem most wikis come to, where they separate things into "Sagas" and then "Arcs" when the Japanese term is usually the same. Or like how we had four seasons of Attack on Titan: The Final Season. |

Just saw Masterful Cat and like the other GoHands show this season, it is thoroughly charming! I didn't find the visuals too distracting and the animation was close to hand-drawn. The humor that everyone seems to know the heroine's live-in is a giant cat and thinks nothing of it while she is mortally afraid people will find out is great. And when it comes to good food, she acts more like a cat than the actual cat. This is a keeper...
Also nice that the show isn't "I was Reincarnated as a Giant Cat and now I live with a Hot Young Office Lady".... |

Voted for:
Reign of the Seven Spellblades Undead Murder Farce Dark Gathering Other shows I'm watching but didn't vote for since they would likely be covered either by high vote request or reviewer interest: Zom 100 JJK S2 Mushoku Tensei II My Happy Marriage Gonna echo what Rebecca and primalmaximus said, Spellblades is definitely not your typical magical academy story at least in the sense stuff like Asterisk or Classroom of Heroes and it quickly grows beyond its Harry Potter trappings with only a few nods here and there. Hints of this are in the first episode, but it will be much more apparent over course of next ones. It is somewhat of slow burn kinda of series tho. |

Thanks so much for the heads up on this! Too bad this can't get a weekly review gig, even though CR picked it up. I'm also still salty that no one, not Funi, which had S1 in Chinese and English dubs, nor CR which posted it last year, nor even any fansubbers, ever picked up the Japanese dub. Will there be a Japanese dub of S2? If so, will it be ignored too? It's a shame because a lot of people won't watch anything except Japanese dubs for whatever reasons. And I agree that JJK OP is terrific!

I haven't read the source material but even in episode 2, I'm starting to see this start to happen. It's a way more interesting episode so if anyone was on the fence after episode 1 I'd suggest checking it out because watching episode 2 has convinced me to stick with the series as it's starting to get much more interesting and if the opening sequence is anything to go by it's looking like this show might hit pretty hard later on. |

Is Kenshin not an option for the streaming reviews? |

I used to be a bit annoyed about this with S1 because the in-house billibilli subs were really pretty poor for the first half, and I had hoped if the JPN dub was picked up, Funi would at least get to use their own translation team. This was also before the ENG dub was released, so those subs were pretty much was the only option if you were watching it legally. Thankfully it seems that issue is rectified for S2 on CR and they read much more clearly. I have to assume the JPN dub is just not that easily accessible, although you can find their covers for the original OP/ED on youtube. Yes, the OP is still sung in ENG, the key is just moved up a bit haha |

Just watched the first two eps. Man, they sure do know how to drop a killer cliffhanger, don't they! Also, great fight scene!
They seemed to spend a lot of time in the 2nd ep recapping the first from slightly different pov, and normally I'd see that as cost cutting or stretching toward a desired ep ending, and maybe it is, but with Link Click, I have to believe there's stuff in there I'm not seeing the significance of just yet.

Possible compromise: Kenshin review but it’s just a discussion of Watsuki’s crimes every week. |
