So I was skimming through older pages of this thread...
Do folks here not like Gintama? Because it is one of my favorites |

Probably because it's intimidating that there are a huge number of episodes. I don't tend to favor the action genre but it looks like it rather has more a comedic focus. The anime comedy genre has certainly grown on me. So, it might be worth a shot sometime. |

Even though there are a lot of episodes to Gintama it's not like other anime where you need to binge it.
It will always be there so I like to pick it up when I'm in the mood for comedic stuff. In a way it's like an anime version of Family Guy. The best part is the side story parts are generally more thought out than Family Guy. It has lots of ultra talented voice actors and the creator excel at Trolling the audience. Here are two clips that summarize what makes it so special. Gintama Toilet Fight for Paper scene Gomen, Jerry [Gintama] eng Sub |

While continuing to watch Rewrite with its ups and downs, and after finishing School-Live! (Gakko Gurashi!), which had more than its share of gut-wrenching moments, I expect that watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica will keep the intensely depressing mood going for a while longer...
BTW, I took a slight detour and just binge watched the first 12 episodes of Psycho-Pass - and it's very impressive stuff... Interesting premise, fast action, nefarious villains, good guys treated as if they were bad guys, a few more plot twists thrown into the mix, bizarro smart guns - what's not to like? Now I must decide whether to continue to the next season of Psycho-Pass, or go back to the depression of Madoka... Decisions, decisions... OK now - after binge watching 22 episodes of Psycho-Pass, with 11 more to go, I definitely made the right decision. Awesome storyline, graphics, character development. |

Looks like quite a few shows are returning for new seasons, this spring.
Shingeki no Kyojin Boku no Hero Academia Kekkai Sensen among others. They are also doing an anime of the Sword Oratoria spinoff of Dungeon ni Deal (Is It Alright To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?). Sword Oratoria goes back to the beginning and shows the story from the point of view of Aiz Wallenstein. |

Kono Suba is pretty damn funny, and defies the typical genre tropes.

The Sword Oratoria light novel gives a lot of insight in Aiz's character. Click To View Spoiler Starts off with her being in a slump, seemingly making no progress toward the next level (she has gotten so powerful that nothing she encounters is enough of a challenge to raise her experience points by more than a small tick). Then the incident with the minotaur happens, and while the minotaur is fleeing from her, it nearly kills that white haired newbie. She barely gets there in time to save the newbie, and when she asks if he's OK, he seems to be terrified of her and runs away. So in addition to being in a slump with advancing her level, she now gets to beat herself up over her mistakes resulting in a newbie nearly getting killed and running from the dungeon in sheer terror. |

Five episodes in to The Saga of Tanya the Evil.
Failed To Load Title Started watching entirely due to its premise. Salaryman runs afoul of God, says things he shouldn't have to said divine being. Gets killed, then reincarnated into a little girl with magical abilities born shortly before what appears to be World War One in an alternate dimension breaks out. Much better than I was expecting. Very light on the fanservice, very heavy on guns and military tactics. |

(Interesting juxtaposition of at least three starkly different personalities - the suck-up who wants an easy life, the uber-competent thinker and leader, and the cruel and sadistic kid who figuratively pulls the wings off of flies or tortures small animals). |

I signed up for Amazon Strike when Crunchyroll was 'down'.

The first season is largely character building and sets the stage for the meat of the story, which is After Story. It's not an action series, if that's what you're into. It's a dramatic tragedy. |

Now that I have read the first and second volumes of Dungeon ni Deal...: Sword Oratoria light novels, I have high hopes for the anime that is coming, this spring.
As I recall, the Dungeon ni Deal anime covered the first five volumes of the light novels. I don't know how many volumes of Sword Oratoria have been released in Japan, but the licensed translations are only to the second volume. ETA: Looks like 6 volumes of the Sword Oratoria light novels have been released in Japan, so they should have plenty of source material for the new anime. I hope this leads to another season of the main story, similar to how the Index/Railgun anime has been released. Quite a bit happens in volume 6 of Dungeon ni Deal. |
