* March Comes In Like a Lion

** It is both good and somewhat unusual in tone. Would happily re-watch. --maxb

* クロムクロ (Kuromukuro - "Black Relic")

** 26 episodes, Spring & Summer 2016

** An alien(?) force has come to Earth with giant robots. There are fun and interesting characters, and a dash of mystery in the unfolding of the invaders' motivations. I found it sufficiently compelling to catch up 10 episodes in a few days :-) --maxb

** Also watching it - done 7 episodes in 2 days. Somehow it does seem very more-ish -- AIM

** And so it has come to an end. Other than a slight wobble around the start of the second season, which it recovered from, it remained very entertaining the whole way through. For me, it was best show of the season, in both Spring and Summer. And I'd be very pleased to watch it again. --maxb

** Good show. Nothing super unique but consistently executed. - MP

** I don't think Non Non Biyori should go in the comedy slot because half of the audience will be bored to tears. - YYY

** I feel that after two seasons of Rabbit, we're due a change of pace from "girls do everyday stuff in their picturesque town", but that Non Non Biyori could still be a good slot 5 in the future. --maxb

* Lovely Complex

** I believe I may just possibly have found a comedy that is actually good. It's a rom-com centering around an unusually tall girl and short boy, who have height complexes. It's old (2007), so the picture quality is a bit less than we're typically used to in these full HD days, which may be a surprise at first, but isn't really a problem. Fast-paced and very entertaining. (Recommendation based on 6 out of 24 episodes) --maxb

** Note: you want the KissSubs edition - though there are better encodes out there, the subs are worse (and unfortunately the good subs are hardsubs).

** The animation quality is very bad. Comedy was passable - I laughed a bit - but not great. I would put this below Non Non Biyori. --lmm

* Kaiba - older but it seems most of us haven't seen it, and I could stand to watch it again --lmm

** Watching that scene once in company was enough. It's a good show but I'm not super enthused. - MP
