Y'know, for some reason, its the same for me. I remember being awestruck when the Kaikigahara arc ended. But then, while watching Hachikuji arc, I couldn't, for some reason, remember parts of the Kaiki arc. I couldn't put my finger on why I liked the arc so much. And with Hachikuji arc ending the way it did, I, for a while, just couldn't remember most things about that arc. My mind was filled only with Hachikuji. Nothing else. Even trying to think of Kaiki arc made me come up with a blank. That was very weird, to say the least.

Even though I literally marathoned the series. But yeah, I can remember almost everything now. Definitely a strange thing but I guess you could explain it by calling it a phenomena where the stuff I most recently watched just overpowered and made accessing memories of stuff I saw in the past harder. At least till the "emotionally drained" phase was active and in full force. Definitely a different reason than in your case, heh.

But yeah. From what I've seen in the series, Second Season is the only 9 for me. More like, a strong 9+. Rest all I've given an 8. Bakemonogatari would've scored a 7 if not for the excellent Hanekawa parts at the end lel. The series has officially made it into my top 10, too. :3

Watching the end parts of Tower of Druaga, I noticed something.

Tomokazu Seki plays an incredibly powerful king with a mad superiority complex. He's clad in golden armour and his name in Gilgamesh. You could say he's the big bad.
This is the case in ToD.

It's also the case I the Fate franchise. Same guy. This cannot be a coincidence. Someone has to have noticed this before.

derozio October 10th, 2015 10:58 AM

I haven't seen ToD but that seems like a pretty neat coincidence. XD;

I like them character designs a lot. Very appealing; all of them.

Pokestick, good times. October 10th, 2015 11:50 AM

It'll be the first proper Trigger work since InoBato. So that's gonna be fun. That studio has yet to really disappoint.

Druaga was fun. I really liked the characters and the creative weapon designs. Shame about the bits where it tried to be grand and serious.

This all reminds me that I need to go and watch- HOLY **** LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA 2 CAME OUT YESTERDAY

AND OH GOD NEW OWARI CAME OUT 3 HOURS AGO

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME?

Pokestick, good times. October 10th, 2015 12:46 PM

I remember seeing threads about Academia being out months ago. Although that might have been the kickstarter screening.

derozio October 10th, 2015 7:03 PM

Same. I remember people updating their hummingbird after "completing" it. That reminds me. I still haven't seen it yet! Even though II was such a huge fan of the original. Shall have to get to it asap - once I'm done with the gatari series anyway

Not sure what to say about the results on there.

derozio October 11th, 2015 4:20 AM

A lot of SNAFU mentions there makes me very happy. :D

SORE ARU!

Too bad that isn't 25 letters.

machomuu October 11th, 2015 5:44 AM

Laura Bailey isn't on there, so it's clearly rigged.

Post would've been perfect, then. PC hates perfection. :p

Rigged or not, the list is good since it contains SNAFU. SNAFU is love, SNAFU is life. <3

>Best Mecha Design

I guess that had to be there.

Pokestick, good times. October 11th, 2015 11:14 AM

Funny how only one of the three were Mecha shows
Spoiler:
and it wasn't that good.

Kenchiin October 11th, 2015 1:30 PM

Newtype is a joke

derozio October 12th, 2015 7:57 AM

Caught upto it. :D And the episodes have been sweet. Loving Ougi so far. And both the first and the second openings are excellent. Second one is more eerie but I prefer the first one as far as the music goes. And Ougi > that other chick anyway :v
also i made the thread for it post in there plis kthxbai

I never really got into mecha mainstays like Gundam and Macross for some reason. I never tried them. Might be time to give a shot. But they're all really long and seem like going through them will be quite a bothersome task. I don't know where to start. :(

Some are pretty short, standalone entries that just about anyone can watch. For instance, Gundam 08th MS Team takes place during Mobile Suit Gundam (the original), but it doesn't rely on it and is decent in length (12 episodes). Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, similarly, works on its own. It's a movie (and is pretty highly regarded), so you can just jump in.

It's really less of a question of where to start and more of what you want. You want high octane Shounen Action? G Gundam's the way to go. Want idols with catchy-ass music? Macross Frontier's gotcha. Proxy battles? Danball Senk- I mean...uh...Gundam Build Fighters. And of course, for classic Mech on Mech action, there's pretty much any of the household names (Wing, MSG, 00). They can be long but if you like it, you're going to stick with it, and as far as Gundam is concerned, the lengths on these vary a great deal from title to title. But I'd say if you want a short, no strings attached mech entry to start, go with 08th MS Team. It's short, it's good, and it's very...human.

derozio October 13th, 2015 1:42 AM

I'll look back on this post the next time I think of starting a gundam. Shall bookmark, in fact lol. Right now...ehh, too much into currently ongoing ones and a few other complete shows to get into an entirely new genre.

Seems like all of the regulars from here are busy with real life this season or are straight up disinterested in currently ongoing shows. The activity in the section has taken a noticeable decline IMO :(

Pokestick, good times. October 13th, 2015 2:47 AM

Well, I already had a couple of shows that it was a given that I was going to watch (OPM and monogatari), and other than that I'm content steadily going through the backlog at night. My interest in checking out stuff this season has been reduced to giving things a shot if friends recommend them.

derozio October 13th, 2015 3:00 AM

That's true for me, too! I've picked up very limited series this season and don't really plan to diversify my selection much further than I already have. I have stuff to focus on irl, soo...

But even the threads for "Must watch" shows for most people (OPM and Monogatari) don't seem to garner as much attention as they should. That's kinda why I was wondering what I did. :p

Pokestick, good times. October 13th, 2015 3:09 AM

Ah, well that's simply because I never go outside of the DCC.

derozio October 13th, 2015 4:21 AM

Noticed that a while ago. XD; Your presence outside of DCC is non-existent.

Anyway, OPM or Haikyuu S2 seem like they'll be my AOTSes this season. They're so damn good. And Haikyuu, especially, interests me greatly since there's a new female lead in the show now who looks like she'll be a great character. <3; Excited to see future developments.

Chikara October 13th, 2015 11:22 AM

Shame on you, Pokestick. [/hypocrite]

I really want to get into either Haikyuu!! or Daiya no A. I need another sports anime aaa. I'm leaning towards Daiya no A because I'm a huge baseball fan, and I've already seen Okiku Furikabutte owo
