== ~~Winter~~ 2020 ~~Planning~~ ==

== Spring 2020 Schedule ==

~~This is a draft schedule~~. ~~Everything is open for discussion~~. ~~Presence of a single show in a slot just means it's the only currently identified named candidate~~.

One day we might even be able to resume meetings after COVID-19 and actually watch it...

* ~~Action:~~ Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia

* Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia

* ~~Sci-fi:~~ In/Spectre (Kyokou Suiri)

* In/Spectre (Kyokou Suiri)

* ~~General 1:~~ Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These Second

* Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These Second

* ~~General 2/Sports:~~ Chihayafuru

* Chihayafuru

* Comedy:

** Zombieland Saga

*** maxb: I don't like death metal, rap, or the annoying manager guy. Would prefer something else.

* Maidragon (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid)

** maxb, Dexter: Proposed, later re-proposed

** We didn't watch it before because lmm was anti

** Most recent dinner discussion: this seemed like a possible consensus (but quorum was weak, 5/8, and people still wanted to check out listed suggestions)

* Fate/cooking (Today's Menu for the Emiya Family)

** Most recent dinner discussion: Would it be bad to have this on concurrently with another Fate show? Or would it be awesome? We couldn't decide!

* Hands off the Motion Picture Club! (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!)

** YYY: Suggested

* Domestic Girlfriend

** maxb: The art style is pretty rough, and I watched most of the episode not liking it much, but even from that base position I got drawn in and impressed by the vibrant energy of the flight-of-imagination segment near the end. Overall slightly anti but acknowledging it has an uncommon creative spark.

* Drama/Romance: Domestic Girlfriend

=== ~~End of Winter~~ ===

=== Ending Alignment ===

Ending:

* Sci-Fi: In/Spectre

* General 1: Galactic Heroes

* Comedy: ~~????~~

* Comedy: Eizouken

* Drama/Romance: Domestic Girlfriend

Continuing:

* Action: Babylonia - 9/10? episodes next cour

* Action: Babylonia - 10 episodes next cour (accounting for episode 0)

* General 2/Sports: Chihayfuru ~~continues~~ - 13 episodes next cour

* General 2/Sports: Chihayfuru - 13 episodes next cour

~~=== Longer comments on shortlisted shows above ===~~

* Chihayafuru (season 1, and if liked seasons 2 and 3 too)

** The basic premise is a "sports" anime set around a Japanese card game Karuta

** Chihayafuru was previously shown to the anime group back in Autumn 2011 - Winter 2012, but that's before most of the current attendees joined - need to check with Mark and Mark whether they saw it back then and what they think about a rewatch if so.

** maxb opinion: I haven't actually constructed a personal top 10, but if I did, I think this would be on it. Some of the things that set it ahead of the pack for me are:

*** an excellent cast of characters, who each have their own nuances, and aren't there just because a club needs 5 members

*** taking two cours per season, and actually making use of that time effectively to give us a lot of story, appropriately paced

*** sequel seasons which actually measure up to what went before and contribute to the whole

* Note to anyone previewing this: It's relatively hard to get a feel for what this series is going to be like from watching a few episodes, as after briefly showing the "present day", it then delves into a flashback to the main characters' younger selves that lasts through to the first few minutes of episode 4. Be prepared to watch more than 3 episodes if you're evaluating it thoroughly, or consider skipping some of the flashback if you're just sampling some fragments of episodes to assess it for the schedule.

* 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.

* 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.

~~Psycho-Pass 3 was also suggested, but on further investigation turns out to be 8 double-length episodes, so that's not fitting into a regular schedule without quite some disruption.~~

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

* Gunbuster --lmm

* Garakowa: Restore the World - a 1h film from Winter 2016, pretty, good music, and interesting enough, though did leave me questioning why they handled the pacing the way they did. --maxb

* Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka?? ~Dear My Sister~ (ご注文はうさぎですか?? ～Dear My Sister～) [~60mins] - More [[GochiUsa]] for those who liked the TV series. Feels like a 60min episodes more than a movie. --YYY
