Currently Airing Anime

[Niernen]

It's a harem, and there are like three possible girls with which he made that childhood promise with. I think like two of them have a pendant each, and the other remembers the promise which matches the flashback or something word for word. So it's STILL totally up in the air as to which girl's the right one (or maybe dude's memory got fragmented somehow and he actually did make a promise to all three).

Spoiler

The first two girls, along with the male lead, were childhood friends, though none of them remember that there were three of them.

Spoiler

He was actually childhood friends with all three girls (Chitoge, Maria, Onodera), and all three also have keys. He also has a few other girls that like him, but are obviously not the promised girl. Ondera had a book from their child hood that Chitoge remebers, Chitoge has a diary, and various things could point to any of the girls really. And ofc they broke the opening mechanism of the pendant so they could prolong it as long as possible.

It hasn't been revealed who he gets with in the end (as it hasn't ended), while Chitoge does seem to be likely as she is one of the main characters, i'm personally rooting for Onodera (since she liked him first and he actually likes her back).

I'm on the Onodera ship too, she's awesome, but I just can't shake the feeling Chitoge is going to win. Following the first girl trope, and that in anime/manga, the girl that the main character likes and/or girl that likes the MC usually doesn't win when it comes to harems.

Loved the first episode of the anime. I'm a big fan of the manga as well, even if nothing has happened since chapter 50

Spoiler

when Chitoge realized she loves Raku

Interested to see how many episodes the anime is, because if it it's 2 cours it could very easily catch up to the manga. A great end point would be chapter 50, because again, just absolutely nothing has happened since, but that would mean 1 cour.

Sekai Seifuku 1
Little girls and world domination, there is absolutely no way I'm not on board. Little girl armpits.

Odds that this ends up less uncomfortably creepy and unwatchable than Dance in the Vampire Bund?

I hated Vampire Bund, lol.

That said, I don't care if it becomes creepy, Venera is adorable as adorable can be adorable.

[Malthe]

Tonari no seki-kun continues to be a great adaption.

Welp. Guess I'll have to give it a go.

it seems in this pocket of time, all is right with the world. once preorders start for Sakura Trick and it tops the chart as well, I can finally say Japan's taste has gotten better, after decades upon decades of constant terrible choices.

[Niernen]

@Flonne; I haven't been keeping up with anything new, but is Sekai Seifuku basically about a loli that takes over the world?

Essentially. And dammit, I enjoyed it. It panders pretty damn hard, but I was sold at that Abe Lincoln joke.

Looks like I really don't remember much, even got keys and pendants the wrong way round. Well what can I say? It's been what, a year?

Spoiler

Wait, was Maria even childhood friends with the other two girls, because that was what I was talking about there, about the guy and first two girls hanging out as a trio when they were kids.

I'm honestly thinking Raku's memory might be fragmented, or some really crazy pomegranate is going on here.

Spoiler

Everything about the past has slowly been revealed (usually by parents/older characters), and then suddenly the characters start to remember stuff. I don't think Maria was a child hood friend of the other two, from what I remember she was bed ridden and the MC came to her room to visit and play with her. I don't remember if he ever took her out of the room, he very well could have. She doesn't seem to be the one he made the promise to though. Besides the fact that he remembers the promise in a field (which would have been difficult for her), she seems to remeber more about the past. Chitoge and Onodera completely forgot about each other (and Chitoge forgot about the MC too...).

Guess i'll be watching Sekai Seifuku tomorrow.

What else have we got tonight...

Wizard Barristers 1:
These are the worst character designs since Shiki. Seems to be this season's sad victim of excellent premise, sorry execution.

Magi 14:
I really need to save these shounen shows to watch 4+ episodes at a time. Can't handle cliffhangers. (Oh wait, cliff fallers)

Nobunagun 2:
So pineappleing metal. That new VA for Sio is impressive at switching between psychotic and adorable. I was kinda hoping for this to be the ridiculous show to fill the hole in my heart that is Valvrave, but I should probably temper my expectations.

Space Dandy 2:
Hah. Gogol empire. Street View. You funny, Watanabe. Kind of a flat episode, but I have faith this is going somewhere.

Norigami 2:
Favorite new show of the season after two episodes. And Yuki's VA is that guy who does eeeeeverythiiiing. I shouldn't be surprised. Hell, most of his characters look the same.

Hey! I LIKED Shiki's character designs!

[Flonne]

Noragami 2
d'aw, she's pretty adorable dancing around on power lines like that...

magi2 14
Yeah, this entire arc is depressing, and it's just going to get worse from here on, even though it's one of the best ones so far.

[madanthony]

Hey! I LIKED Shiki's character designs!

Shiki wins an award from me for being the most episodes of a show I've watched before getting used to unorthodox character designs. It took well over 10 episodes before I settled into them. (Still a great horror show, either way)
But damn, these Barrister designs seem to be straight up missing chunks of head. And the hair. THE HAAAAIR.

MC from Ontario? Possible design influences:

[Hanabira.Kage]

Just finished White Album 2.

pineapple Haruki. You pineappleing pimento.

[Flonne]

Wizard Barristers
Character designs are OK, premise could have been good but instead is awful, animation is decent, not going to watch this; looks like the entire premise of the show is going to be "everyone is racist against *group*", where *group* is wizards. I don't really like where it ended, it's pretty suggestive that the fat dude is going to lose his case even though he had a benevolent agenda; if I wanted to watch shows about corrupt governmental branches etc, I'd watch the news.

Inari konkon koi
Kinda generic, but still pretty cute, guess I'll watch it.

Zetsumetsu Kigu Shoujo Amazing Twins
Surprisingly good, at least a lot better than I expected. Poor ghost sister ;_;

nagi asukara 15
still definitely like this half a lot better than the first.

golden time 14
Finally, an episode without any ghost banri. Oka and Koko was pretty good scene too.

sakura trick 2
I am happy beyond all rational thought, I'm going to go enjoy a sugar crash coma now.

nisekoi 2
yeah, my first impression of this show was correct, I really don't like it. The only way I can stand unlucky MCs with terrible people forcing him into doing pomegranate is if that MC is Touma, and not above punching a peach in the throat. And that peach REALLY, REEEEALLLY needs a good punch in the throat, holy hell.

[Niernen]

So I jut watched Seka-Seifuku Bouryaku no Zvezda, and I have to question why the lolis wear the most revealing costume, and why the professor can walk around public in only her underwear and a lab coat. That magical girlish transformation sequence was kinda funny, if s bit strange to see a naked glowing loli. I would actually be okay with a machine that doesn't let someone smoking exhale.

Nisekoi is following the manga pretty much, but I don't know if Shaft was the right studio, their visual tricks and all don't seem to work with Nisekoi. And its really disterbing me that Nadeko from Monogatari and Onodera have the same voice actress.

[Plasmablaster]

Dokidoki! Precure 49 (Final):

Spoiler

LOL @ Mana's pulled out psyche, reminded me of Kid Buu with the small candy thing.

And I gotta say, things in this episode sure escalated quickly, flying into space, Big Bangs, and flying back down. Way way way too bad there was no more of Rikka and Ira though, could have made a good ending there.

HanaKana is everywhere. Deal with it.
