Let's see:
* I marathoned Null & Peta one evening. surprisingly interesting to watch.
* I finally wrapped up Halo Legends which I'd started watching many years ago at anime club.
* Then I randomly segued into Wizard Barristers. Which, despite its unrealism, actually gave me (near the end of the series) a vague taste of "anime Law & Order", which is a thing I've mentioned I've been looking for for quite a while.
* Then I just finished New Game!!, i.e. New Game season 2. As charming as the first, and I'm glad I got to spend more time with the cast. I even really felt that crunch time, thanks to personal experience.
I don't have any specific plans on what to watch next. It might be Two Car, though, a series about sidecar racing.
Around 2013 I was really hyped for such an idea, especially if school food punishment did the OP or ED.
Two-Car's ED single has a really good B-Side song (Feel your breath). I never saw the show but I am a fan of Void_Chords who are doing the songs for the currently-airing RWBY SHAFT-animated anime (again, the B-Side to the RWBY OP; relight emotions, is also really great).
This year I haven't watched that much anime because I've been busy with other stuff but I did watch all of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE which is a great show which gives you three stories in one.
Might watch more Gundam eventually but there's lots of other stuff I need to watch before that. I watched the first cour/"season" of Orient and wasn't impressed enough to stick with it for the second (which is airing right now).
Tokyo Mew Mew aka Mew Mew Power currently has a remake airing right now and it's been enjoyable. Truncating it from 50 episodes to 12 (or hopefully 24) necessitated a lot of changes.
I actually assumed several things had changed story-wise to appeal to a Western eco-friendly audience but somehow the NYT conveniently had this piece about how Japanese culture is all obsessed with SDGs right now for no real reason which I think makes more sense.
Well, I was gonna watch it anyway, but ...y'know how it is when people tell me not to watch something because it's bad. =P
Just seems to give off similar vibes as some of the stuff you post.
a) it's overly long
b) thoroughly researched
c) therefore way too many links
d) did literal qualitative datamining to prove a point nobody cared about
e) righteous indignation about some little girls thing
I did not know Romantic Killer was a shounen manga, especially since the plot is very modern shoujo.
Anyways people seem confused as to what modern shoujo is, especially since shoujo anime morphed into otome harem anime and then somehow back into isekai anime.
Related to this actually, both arcade-game based long-running shoujo anime series somehow just randomly ended at around the same time (Aikatsu! and Pretty Series) which means the only kid's shoujo anime airing right now is PreCure! Series.
Problem is I think non-obviously nerd girls in Japan don't actually watch much anime anymore? They watch doramas and YouTubers. The types of shoujo manga that get adapted nowadays therefore tend to reflect that (very normal plots, usually simple romance is the main draw), which is why the magical girl genre (for like, it's actual demo) has just been PreCure for ages.
There's no need to do any late-night pandering to them, so no more shoujo anime gets made. If we're lucky, NHK might start a new daily block or make their new E-Tele anime shoujo (like Akatsuki no Yona) but otherwise yeah I don't see the situation "improving".
I would like to see Stellar Witch LIPS get an adaptation though. That manga is great.
Fricking goodness mentioning Angel Sanctuary and hitting me right where it hurts.
N.B. I didn't design this bracket.
There's like two or three songs at least on here that are related to Evangelion.
edit: apparently not.

it just has Evangelion-related songs front-loaded on the album.
I wish more artists would re-issue their best songs outside of best albums because it's hard to track down some non-single songs sometimes, but I also actually don't at all because I prefer things the way they are now.
Also when artists in Japan transfer labels they tend to avoid re-releasing the songs from their old label (though they do perform them live a lot) and I'm guessing it's due to re-licensing back-catalogue stuff.
Pole dancing is an art! A sport even! It's all innocent! Everything is above board I assure you!
At first it was just YouTube 3DCG mocap shorts that you could dismiss, but there will be a legitimate anime movie next year.

Just shows as "comedy" and "fantasy" tags, not even "ecchi".
Dunno if your comment was actually a general comment or meant to specify this series.

The trope isn't about the sexualization either (though obviously, fictional characters getting sexualized is one of the oldest tropes in the book).

I'm @glennmagusharvey@sakurajima.moe -- you can see my profile here: https://sakurajima.moe/@glennmagusharvey
FYI the OP to Z/X Ignition is by Hikasa Yoko (ie Maria Cadenzavna Eve in Symphogear) and was composed by Elements Garden (ie behind the music in Symphogear).
Also I use it pretty often as sort of a public blog.
Amusingly I use Mastodon a lot more than I ever used Twitter, even before Musk took over Twitter.
Ironically, it's partly because the content is sorta compartmentalized -- as you may note from my Mastodon profile, I have another account that's more focused on science and policy and serious stuff -- that I use it a lot more. Twitter was too "everything all in one place".

Why not just list the shows rather than put in 60 embeds?
On one hand, it's not a bad story. It's certainly able to keep my interest, with its many mysteries and much intrigue and and giving me the desire to piece together what's going on.
On the other hand, I'm nearing the end of the show and still feeling like I'm not particularly fond of the protagonists. They're not so bad that I hate the show, but they're not my favorites.
This is a little embarrassing being GMH's friend and all, but I can barely tell these new iM@Ses from the originals. In fact, I thought blue one passed for Chihaya till I remembered Chihaya doesn't have bangs.
By the way, GMH, what anime have you watched recently?
In July I watched a three-episode OVA for Hyperdimension Neptunia.
In June I watched a lot more -- finishing up Gosick and then watching the first season K-on! (along with some extras) and the Little Witch Academia TV series almost simultaneously.
Similarly with May, when I finished Dog Days' (the second season of the Dog Days franchise), Two Car (which, honestly, was rather meh), and Z/X: Ignition.
Basically I've only been watching card game and idol anime.
Also, you could just call it "Dog Days Dash" (which is the official way to pronounce the ' in there).
