    Apparently it's covering side novels now that are supposed to be decent from what I've heard

    Amagami - Well, this ended up being really great. Ended up enjoying it much more than I expected.

    One aspect I found particularly great was the drama, or the lack thereof. Often shows like these tend to play up the drama, and it ends up being very heavy-handed. A good example would be something like a KEY adaptation, where every girl tends to have some sort of sad backstory that the protagonist slowly learns about, and eventually helps her get over. In Amagami, there isn't much of this at all, and it's mostly just a guy spending time with a girl until they both get together. Of course, there's still some drama, but it's mostly minor. The only exception I suppose is Ayatsuji, where her backstory is quite critical to the arc and has a much larger focus on drama than the rest. But she's super cute so that's alright.

    The MC is a bit of an idiot sometimes, but at least he's sort of the loveable type of idiot. And Christ, most of the girls are perfect 10/10s. I don't think I've ever watched a show with so many high quality girls.

    Ayatsuji > Haruka > Miya > Ai > Kaoru >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rihoko > Sae

    Anyway, highly recommend it. Especially if you liked Seiren's first episode, since it's basically the same thing with different girls. And honestly, some of the girls in Amagami are probaby even better than Tsuneki.

    That's good to hear, Sesto - I really enjoyed Seiren's first episode. I'll put that on the list.

    As for the last couple days, here are my thoughts:
    Kuzu No Honkai: Really enjoyed the show, and the tone in it. Really upset that it is part of Anime Strike.
    Urara E2: This episode continued like the first, so I liked it quite a bit. Definitely a continue.
    Masamune: I'm a sucker for rom coms (yet only in anime form, some interesting shit) so loving every minute of it.
    Fuuka: I am sad there are others in the thread that don't like this show. I really enjoy Fuuka herself, but I was going to love it anyways for the fact above. I'll like it even more if it doesn't go for the standard tropes, but suck it up if it does.
    Blue Exorcist: I haven't been into this season as much as the first, yet I know it should be interesting. I'll keep watching it, maybe solely as background.

    Tanya 2 - This is easily becoming one of the best of the season.

    Seiren 2 - Main girl is the best girl of the entire season so far. Masamune's Class rep has a fierce competition.

    Megumin is still winning the shittiest girl contest though, and I don't think anyone will be able to beat her.

    Fuuka episode 3 - Decent. They're at chapter 15 now so I guess the pace is 4-5 chapters an episode.

    They skipped the moment where YU and Fuuka fought though. Thought that was one of the better moments of the early chapters. Hopefully they do a great job with the confession and moments after. That will be key.

    Heard good things about Kuzu No Honkai so gonna try that out later.

    Nintendo Master Race.

    ...oh who the hell am I kidding, I doubt I'll cancel it even if Zelda ends up being the only thing.


    Also so Jojolion is still ongoing correct? Seems like there was a large hiatus due to "Stop saying read the manga" or something, but now it's going and I actually have to find the chapters. Just got up to Stag Beetle battle.

    Ayatsuji cutting her hair off though, WHY. :<

    I actually liked Rihoko the most, but her arc in SS and SS+ was pretty bad sadly.

    The 2DS I've bought has a Mario game pre-installed so that's something. Will more than likely jump on the newest Pokemon game, especially now the hype has all but died.
    I still need to get back to Sun, I have a bit of the aftergame to do, and more pokemon catching to go.

    Assuming it was Super Mario 3D Land? Pretty good game if so. If it was New Super Mario Bros 2, I'm sorry.

    Not a bad game, but very...bland.

    Fair enough. My friend seemed shocked that I'm almost caught up on Jojolion, he thought I'd still be halfway through Steel Ball Run.
