Line 25:

** YYY, a year later: I have no desire to watch this at this point in time.

** maxb: There are now two seasons, but season 1 comfortably stands alone. Season 2 was a fun chance to revisit the characters, but would probably seem a bit same-y if watched consecutively with season 1.

* Kobayashi-san's Dragon Maid 小林さんちのマイドラゴン

** A light-hearted series with an underlying theme of interpersonal relationships improving people's (and dragons') lives. Best last episode that I've seen for a long time. --maxb

** This show was on and off the proposals list a couple of times over the years. Interest from Dexter too, but never quite managed to catch the interest of enough of the group to make it to the schedule.

* Ninja Girl and Samurai Master https://anilist.co/anime/21666/NobunaganoShinobi

** A comedy about a ninja girl serving Nobunaga - keeps the jokes flowing at a consistent pace, but not a serious historical show -- AIM

Line 35:

* Sirius the Jaeger (action/fantasy)

** AIM: Nominated

* Fate/cooking (Emiya-san chi kyou no gohan)

** Semi-short, episodes are ~13 minutes each.

** maxb: Very little happens in this show, but it does so in a soothingly fun way, apt to leave a smile on your face.

* Cells at Work (Hataraku Saibou)

** AIM: Nominated

Line 50:

Line 44:

** And so the proposal was left to sit until the continuation movie (Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl 青春ブタ野郎はゆめみる少女の夢を見ない) came out..

** maxb: And unfortunately it turned out to be a '''really bad''' movie. I think there still could be some potential for scheduling the series, but the movie - no, just no.

* Kono Oto Tomare

** Sports/Drama about a music club, playing the Koto. Aired as split cours, but in reality is one continuous show.

** maxb, initially: Exceptionally good, especially in how the characters interact with each other, slightly marred by rushed and clumsy pacing around the cour split.

** maxb, at end: The character introduction segment was splendid, unfortunately the writers appeared to then realise they'd signed up to do a tournament arc, despite lacking any flair for that. The result was a not particularly engaging series of performances, coupled with some really odd pacing at various points... when you're doing your grand exposition of a new foil-to-the-protagonist character's backstory in episode 24 of 26, alarm bells ought to be ringing. Supposedly-dramatic moments were so telegraphed that even I could see where they were going before they went there. This was a show of missed opportunities to be good :-/
