And here I thought the only thing to watch this summer would be Gatchaman Crowds Insight. :-)

I lost interest in the manga when it became clear that it does not have any defined direction at all (right about the time Slime appeared). Hopefuly anime ends before that time.

J, aren't you looking forward to Bikini Warriors?

Sadly the Slime is in the credits... Like you I thought the Manga went downhill quickly after she showed up. (Though the SWAT team was mildly amusing). What strikes me as strange is just HOW risque the trailer is, and that the production values are indicative of a nontrivial investment. This series must have sold rather better than I would have thought.

So...Is it Sony's policy to only block GOOD videos of their music?

My understanding is that they use a bot. What it looks for isn't clear, but you can find a dozen other RWBY amv's that use Uptown Funk. None of them, as you say, are nearly this good.
"I didn't even like that song before." Blasphemy.

Unlike some other shows I've enjoyed of late,Sound! Euphonium is not hampered by budget considerations or any learning curve. Kyo-Ani are the pros from Dover when they apply themselves and they have really pulled out all the stops on this show. The production values are gorgeous and the writing, pacing and characterizations are excellent. More impressively, they have gotten me to care about a dramedy set in a high school band.
I'm not even going to try to catch up on episodic reviews of this show, in no small part because Ben and Wonderduck are already doing a fine job on this one, but also because there is such a lot to take in. Each episode warrants at least a second viewing to catch every character bit or subtle attention to detail. There is an awful lot to like here...

I watched 4 episodes and thought it was enough for now. It's a sports story and not a terribly amazing one (Initial D was better). As far as cute girls doing the cute girl things, K-ON was much better. It is incidential here anyway. So into the suspended folder it goes.
