Calling it now, 'Charlotte' is the name of a long-orbit comet.

So, who's liking what? So far this season I've covered:
-Charlotte
-Gakkou Gurashi
-Aoharu x Kikanjuu
-Joukamachi no Dandelion
-GATE
-Himouto! Umaru-chan

and a few short ones that dont really need talking about.

If I talk about Charlotte I'll fill multiple posts full of gushing, so I'll just not.

Dropping Aoharu x Kikanjuu because watching anime about your non-anime hobbies tends not to be a very good idea in my experience due to rage inducing factual inaccuracies. Plus, it makes me want to get on a plane to NZ so bad and I cant afford that right now.

Will give GATE some more before I decide to continue with it or not. The writing of the series is, frankly, awful. Rushed and condensed and sacrificing what could have been quite a spectacle, plus I feel like it will become more inane later. The only reason I'm considering keeping going with it is the fact that this is a premise I have wanted to see for a long time, usually when it comes to invading aliens/other dimensional beings/monsters/whatever humanity is always on the backfoot and usually only wins through a combination of phlebotinum, deus ex machina and luck. To see humanity kick ass of the bat is very refreshing.

Gakkou Gurashi is going to get to episode 3 with me depending on how much doom and gloom zombie apocalypse there is to balance out the cute. I like cute, but this show seems like without the undead it will be one of a diabetes causing few that are a little to sweet and saccharine for my taste. I already knew the hook, which is why I made it to the end of the first episode, but if it's only gonna be 30 seconds of the 'real world' and the rest in Yuki's delusional world of sugar and sweetness then I wont be able to stomach it.

Umaru-chan should probably have been a half-episode series at the very most, I dont think it has the substance it needs to be a full length series.

Joukamachi no Dandelion was meh.

Currently watching:
-Gatchaman Crowds Insight
-Classroom Crisis
-GATE
-Gangsta
-Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace

Gat*haman and Gangsta are good so far.

Ranpo Kitan is very close to being dropped. The "whodunnit" part is bad, there's barely any clues for the audience to pick up on and most of the characters, including the killer, are greyed out. The human chair part was too ridiculous to take seriously and has nothing to do with the actual short story written by Edogawa Ranpo.

GATE: I just want to see more Romans and fantasy creatures get destroyed by modern weaponry. The show itself is not that great.

Classroom Crisis: Whose idea was it to mix high school drama with corporate drama? It's not very interesting and has way too many boring info-dump propaganda videos.

Something else that I did today was write a bot to lurk the #horriblesubs *** channel and snap up certain shows in 720p as they're released. Given that fansubbing is on the decline and Nyaa has been kill twice in recent memory, it's something I had been meaning to get around to but never felt like programming because it's a slight pain in the ass to do correctly.

Seem's like HS is the only fansubs left
Only if you consider the employees of CR and Funi to be fans of the shows they sub.

I don't understand how Funi even has paid subscribers when their video service and release quality are abysmal -- bloat, wrong colors, banding, dropped frames --, not to mention the hardsubs and lack of typesetting.
