~~=== Slot 5 Proposals ===~~

* Punch Line

** ...suggests Mark

** If you're in the mood for an anime which is mostly wacky/ludicrous style entertainment, yet does manage to wrap up with one of those rare things in anime - a strong conclusion - it could be one to watch. --maxb

** I watched the first episode and wasn't terribly impressed. --lmm

* Is the Order a Rabbit? (ご注文はうさぎですか)

** I never knew I could have this much fun watching an anime in which basically nothing happens :-) School slice-of-life at its finest. --maxb

** Both Gochiusa and it's sequel are very good slice of life comedies. - YYY

** I enjoyed the first episode. The pacing of this followed by SWwtRH would be a bit unfortunate, but we've survived worse. --lmm

*** It could work. And if it doesn't, there's the option of swapping slots 4 and 5 (so Fullmetal, Rabbit, Re:Zero, Shirayuki). --maxb

* Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

** Comedy about magical girl detectives who lose their powers. -YYY

** I enjoyed this, I guess I could stand to watch it again. It is very dumb on every level though. --lmm

** I watched part of episode 1, it was rather unremarkable. --maxb

* I think there were one or two more that came up in conversation?

** One Punch Man was mentioned

*** But it didn't seem to be slot 5 material to me, also a bit boring. (watched episode 1) --maxb

=== Summer 2016 Draft Schedule ===

Line 35:

Line 16:

* Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

* Re: Zero

* Is the Order A Rabbit??

* Is the Order A Rabbit

* Snow White with the Red Hair S2

=== ~~End of Spring~~ ===

=== Future possibilities ===

~~==== Lengths ====~~

"Current" shows always take priority, but it's worth remembering older shows in case a season or two goes by with a shortage of good shows in one or other category.

* FMA:B: effectively infinite

* EBF:TPI: 11

* MSG:IBO: 12 (effective)

* E: 12

* S: 12

* SWwtRH: 12 + OVA (slightly long)

~~Most obvious answer is to show the SWwtRH OVA on the last week -~~ that ~~way~~ we ~~start everything neatly the next time.~~

==== Shows that we considered schedule-worthy ====

~~This logic seems logical~~, ~~especially with a week's break between seasons.~~ -~~-maxb~~

(Informally, this usually means that two or more people supported the proposal and no-one strenuously objected)

~~=== Possible things ===~~

* Gatchaman Crowds Insight

* Minami-ke (not exactly supported per se, but a fallback comedy option)

* Ghost in the Shell: Arise

* The Legend of Korra

* Ore Monogatari (24)

** An unconventional romance, with lots of storytelling to do along the way, and some comedy moments. Though the subject matter is completely different, the viewing experience feels a bit like Shirayuki-hime - there is a continuity, but it's very episodic. --maxb

Line 59:

Line 36:

* Chihayafuru S2

** How many of us have seen S1? I support Chihayafuru as a great show, but feel that people watching S2 without having seen S1 would be missing out on a lot. --maxb

* Hellsing Ultimate

** Almost-veto from Mark, and awkward to fit into a schedule.

==== Proposals which have not been fully evaluated ====

* Barakamon (12)

** Seems promising, based on reading a review. --maxb

Line 67:

Line 49:

* Shounen Maid

** Yes, really. I'm aware the title and synopsis sound rather unpromising ... but it's actually a fun comedy show that's had me laughing out loud. --maxb

* Seto no Hanayome

** High school romance comedy involving mermaids. Ranks second funniest I've watched. -YYY

** I watched episode 1. I liked the (very short) segments where the two main characters get to talk to each other, but most of the episode seemed to consist of what I assume was comedy that I did not find funny. --maxb

* Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san

** Another comedy involving mermaids. 13 min episodes. -YYY

Line 76:

Line 55:

** Comedy about high school survival game club. -YYY

** Watched episode 1. Feeling mostly neutral about it: it was kind of amusing at times, but sometimes felt like just a bunch of gags pasted together into makeshift plot. --maxb

=== End of Spring ===

SWwtRH OVA will fill the gap in the final week.

=== Special candidates ===
