Gotta be honest, from the first episode I was expecting things to be a bit more in Black Lagoon/Jormungand territory, a bit ligher in tone and mostly about the fun action. This one seems a bit more on the serious side, especially now we're exploring our characters' pasts as well. Not that that's a bad thing!

Quite enjoyable. The movie and it's themes reminded me of Chu2koi somewhat (http://trakt.tv/show/love-chunibyo-and-other-delusions), but this one takes the more realistic route with bullying etc. I wasn't too sure what to think at the start and it did take a while to get going, but it was enjoyable and I was definitely behind Satou as he was standing up to the bullies and trying to help the girl out. There are a few silly parts and the animation quality isn't amazing - It's not far above what you'd see in an average anime TV series so there's a lot of unmoving backgrounds etc. Even so, definitely a worthwhile watch.

Really enjoyed this movie. I wasn't completely sold until the "Childhood" part of the story began, I have to admit, but after that, I was on board all the way. It did feel like a long film, but looking at the amount of time that actually passed, it's no wonder. All in all, a great film which possibly ranks above Summer Wars and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (and that's saying something!)

I'm not sure I have anything to say about this one, other than "Oh Japan".

Yeah... gonna say no to this one.

So that's what Smearballs has been up to recently!

Man, Atlus really need to make Persona 5 already (already announced at least). I love Persona 3 and 4 but they have been milked to the ground at this point.

I find it quite odd that they're doing another series so soon after the "original" just to cover the extra material from Golden. I mean sure, there is some, but I do wonder if there's enough to fill an entire series without a lot of filler and repeated scenes from the original series.

Oh well. I'll probably batch watch it at some point, since I'm still playing through P4G at the moment and don't want to spoil the Epilogue for myself by watching this first :P

@sp1ti Is Milky Holmes worth watching then? So retarded it's fun? All I see is bad ratings so I haven't bothered so far.

@sp1ti Death Billiards was okay. I didn't think it was amazing. Will probably give the series a go though.

Oh boy, next season looks pretty week. I think the only thing I'm really looking forward to is season 2 of Durarara!!

Great list so far. I love all of Satoshi Kon's films and it is such a shame that he died before being able to make more. Millennium Actress was amazing.

Of your list so far, the only one I haven't seen is Grave of the Fireflies, which I know I absolutely should. I just need to mentally prepare myself for it, I think.

Have you seen the Kyousougiga episodes so far? Think there's 5-6 short ones that were web streamed or something. They were alright, but not much substance to them. Maybe a TV series will sort that out.

Other than that, I'd say your list is very similar to mine.

Yeah, people seem to love adding one-shot OVAs and Movies to TVDB. Then they get all upset when they're deleted, even though there are perfectly good entires on TMDB.

I haven't seen all that many of these. Guess I'm not cool and edgy enough :P

I see quite a few sequels of stuff I want to watch this season. Looks like it could be a good one.

List probably isn't exhaustive, let me know if I missed any.

Of all the one's I've seen so far, I'd say my favourites (in order) are:
Hidamari Sketch
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Madoka Magica
Bakemonogatari

Just FYI - AFAIK Katanagatari is just a rerun with new OP and ED's. No "new" content to speak of.

I know what you mean. I'm not planning to pick up many of these this season.
