Re: Currently Airing Anime
Going back a ways, I finally finished the last 2/3rds of Ano Natsu de Matteru. It was awesome. So good, it made me lonely (/sad, defeated little man). By episode 6/7 they were already bandying back and forth the type of dramatic pomegranate that gets saved for the 2nd to last episode, and then it just kept going.
And Lemon. fufufufufu Brilliant.
Re: Currently Airing Anime
Arcana Famiglia 01: This may be too shoujo for me, though Felicita has delicious legs and Noto Mamiko hnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg. Yonaga Tsubasa's voice has too many memories from Tales of Xillia and Tasogare Otome x Amnesia to recognize him as someone that's "tough". Yoshino Hiroyuki's voice annoys me in most of the shows he does. I'm doubting this show will have much action, despite the premise, and I think I'll put it on the backburner.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashi'ta 01: I don't even
Tari Tari 01: Of all the shows so far this season, this has impressed me the most. It has pretty fantastic animation, and really good portrayal of drama, character interactions, development of story so far. Looking forward to where this will go.
Muv-Luv Alternative - Total Eclipse: 01: Thank God we got the most boring episode out of the way first, I would presume. Otherwise, this show is going to suck.
Yuru Yuri how the pineapple do I make two music notes 01: Oh God hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggg ggggggggg sooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooood. That hammer on the skull lol. Needs some more Himawari x Sakurako though. Bringing up a strong second to Tari Tari so far.
Hyouka 11: I found the climax to this mystery quite thrilling and dramatic. Really well done, and I love how it all ties in with his sister over that chat (?). The overall large emotional attachment to his role shows strong character development for Oreki.
Sankarea 12: What a terrible ending.
Accel World 12: d'awwwwwww Niko. Needs more imouto-moe.
AKB0048: Yeah, I'm getting a real Madoka vibe out of this.
Saki Achiga-hen 09~12: Since Underwater is lagged behind so far... Oh God I've missed this so much. TOKIIIIIIIhNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGNgngngngnNGNgngnggnGNGN GNGNGgggggg Really interesting that it's 15 episodes long, I'm expecting it to all tie up and have a new season be announced for the future, but as far as I'm aware, the manga hasn't progressed enough for the final match, and Kiyosumi is at the quarter-final on the other side of the bracket still in the most recently translated chapters, (though it appears that they've already advanced and are waiting to play their semi-finals the next day in this episode) while Achiga is playing in the semis right now.

Please explain. AKB is the girls-who-are-guns-but-everything-is-sexual show, right?

No, AKB0048 is the show where entertainment is banned and idols have guerrilla concerts. My interpretation of how this will end is that the girls who "retire" are consumed as energy for whatever the hell is writing the music (or turned into kirara, which I don't exactly see as being a grand fate either). But of course, it's more likely some sort of super happy ending since that would be exceedingly bad press for AKB48 if the main characters "die" when they retire/are usurped, which is basically what happens in real life.
I liked that Symphogear interpretation as well though, that's pretty funny. I want a second season of that.

No, that's "Upotte!!"
Re: Currently Airing Anime
Oh god, that makes so much more sense. I was wondering how a show about fanservice could end up drawing a Madoka comparison.

Maybe it's because I've been busy lately, but I don't see anything terribly interesting this season except Yuru Yuri and Sword Art. I'll probably just read you guy's reactions and choose a few based off that again. ♥

You should read the manga then. I have no bloody idea how the thing was even allowed to be put on the shelves. =.=

You said it.
I loved .hack//roots, and I'm definitely going to love this too.
Speaking of which, there's a SAO PSP game in development; "Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment".
Re: Currently Airing Anime
Currently DLing SA:O and Kono Naka blahblahblah Imouto, already watched a few from this season though. I'll mention the ones I liked.
Tari Tari is basically K-ON with less moeblob, looking pretty good so far.
Koi Chocolate looks REALLY good so far for some reason, though I don't quite understand the cameo at the beginning yet...
Too bad it has solar flare censors.
edit: both of those look really good too. SA:O will probably be the best this season if it keeps up that pace.

Just have to say that I think .hack//sign was better.
Anyway, back to the topic of current anime.
Sword Art Online ep.1: Great start, I'll definitely be watching this!
Kokoro Connect ep.1: Glad to see this is getting an anime, going to be watching.
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai ep.1: I actually read up to chapter 9 of the manga adaptation. I'm not sure if there was more, since it seems like the scanlation group dropped it, but it was pretty enjoyable up to that point. I'll keep track of this as well.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate ep.1: I'm not sure, honestly. This one could turn out to be great, or just a typical school comedy with a childhood friend whining in the background. I guess it'll be clear in a few more episodes.
Tari Tari ep.1: Very much like a quire version of K-ON!. I do find the characters to be interesting, and I like how there's one who's not completely fluent in Japanese after living in another country for twelve years of his life (always bugs me when foreigners and returnees speak perfectly).
Arcana Famiglia ep.1: I'm unsure about this one as well. It looks like it might end up being rushed with some forced romance in it like a lot of the anime adaptations of games, but who knows. I'll watch a few more episodes.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimapomegranatea ep.1: This one was boring. I'll wait for a few more episodes to come out and see what other people say.
Re: Currently Airing Anime
Did anyone here finish Rinne no Lagrange S1? The few episodes I watched were... neither good nor bad, but it's my understanding it improved a bit over time? Think S2 is worth a pomegranate?
Shimapomegranatea 2:
This... This is beyond surreal. I'm sold. Best use of Ave Maria since Cowboy Bebop. The story book. The skinned, headless chickens plotting world takeover by providing humans weapons with which to destroy themselves. The sentient, super-powerful hair. That amazing LSD OP. I just...
http://i.minus.com/i1x6vXZw0pgzV.gif
Campione 1:
Nothing to call home about. Tsundere, tits, a splash of shiny action. I'll give it another episode or two.
Binbogami Ga 1:
Not sure why I enjoyed this, but I did. Some excellent/shameless pandering going on. Loved the Medaka call-out.
Eureka AO 12:
All of my wat. TAKE IT ALL, BONES. pomegranate just got real. Still want to know what's up with Elena and why Eureka was with her in the last episode.

First episode where it really felt like e7 again, in my opinion.

Keen used to be such an arrogant prick. Getting raped by NaDa twice after picking him finally shut him up.
Rinne no Lagrange was much ado about nothing. It felt a lot more about school/slice of life than anything mecha or action. It did have a really nice feel about that though, but I expect season 2 to actually go into detail about why anything happened at all. That being said, Madoka, Ran, and Muginami were really hnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg characters.
Binbougami ga! 01: Hanazawa Kana playing a stuckup character has such a weird charm to it. I don't particularly find Momiji that likably or interesting though.
Kono Naka ni Hitori Imouto ga Iru 01: So many troll clues. dat tsundere. I get a real yandere feel from Konoe. Like, the second she gets jealous, it feels like she's going to draw a kitchen knife from her skirt or something.
Dakara Boku wa H ga Dekinai 01: The description on MAL says she takes his boner doesn't it? I'm hoping this will be fun like Highschool DxD was, because it's definitely not thoughtprovoking.
Campione! 01: From what I understand, this is going to devolve into a superharem like Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. Was an interesting first episode and really strong final scene that makes me want to see the next, but I'm sure it will be disappointing, and amongst the most average action harems.
Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 01: WHY WHY WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY WOULD YOU DO THAT WTTTTTTTTTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
The CG for the machinery in their clubroom was weird as pomegranate. This is an eroge adaptation, so I'm not expecting much, but it did have a really good feel for episode 1. There's just a lack of any strong romantic direction.
Accel World 13: While it's interesting that she's a healer, I don't think I really care anymore because there's hardly any action in this show.
Kokoro Connect 01: OMHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGG SAWASHIRO MIKUYI WOULD DEFINITELY PREFER THAT SHE STRIPPED. That scene was the best lol from all the shows that I can remember so far. Pretty decent comedy, but premise is a bit weird.
Shining Hearts 11: lolwat.
Sword Art Online 01: Definitely the best show so far. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.

Except the pacing of the two has been identically slow, mirite?
Re: Currently Airing Anime
Damn, I go out of the city for a wedding for 2 days and there are like 20 new episodes to watch.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II 1: YES! I've been waiting for this and it was awesome. Great first episode and what may happen later taking the OP as reference seems amazing.
Sword Art Online 1: This is hardcore pomegranate, yo. Nothing like that Accel World. Looks like it's going to be pretty good. I wonder how the author feels, having both adaptations airing at the same time.
Joshiraku 1: Yay! More Kumeta! JC Staff did a pretty great job at this. Already one of my favorites.
Now I'm waiting for Underwater's Lagrange release.
