This Week's Code Word is Janissary
Not pictured: the actual, honest to God tear running down my cheek...from watching a fricking superhero cartoon.
The current crop of anime has largely been a vast, insipid wasteland. However, My Hero Academia is really making up for that.
My only complaint is that they cannot possibly keep this up.

I'll have to catch up. The first episode of season two was something of a letdown after season 1, but if it seriously picks up again I'll sit through a few slow episodes.

There have been some really good romance stories and rom-coms. If that's your cup of tea.

Comic Girls is quite nice, too.

Season two has a much more leisurely pace (at least at first) and it's telling the story in a different enough way to be jarring.
It starts out focusing on character development, world building and asking what exactly a hero even is..the pace starts to pick up towards the end, and there is some satisfyingly consequential action but one of the scarier episodes consists of a conversation with no violence and not so much as a raised voice.
Season three starts with a recap episode and a summer camp, but very quickly develops a pace that actually surpasses season one, and is more satisfying because of all the background from season two.

Steins;Gate: 0 has been kicking ass. Worthy sequel to the original. I keep thinking I'll do a post on it, and then I get lazy and go play some Empyrion.

So... I should probably watch Stein's Gate first then?

My vote's for Golden Kamuy. Action, low humor, and Ainu culture in a good mix.

Heh, I'm in that same state, I pulled down the original Stein's;Gate ages ago (2011!), never got too far into it, and now I'm pulling down the sequel.
What have I been watching? Darling in the Franxx, which I watch before it's even finished seeding, and 3D Kanojo Real Girl.
I still need to finish Robotics;Notes....
I used to put so much effort into reviews, but without the feedback, there's less incentive.
