** 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

* 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

Line 77:

** 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

* Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma - 食戟のソーマ

　* So, this is going to be a weird entry. I watched the first three quarters of season 1, and really liked it - as in, all time personal top 5 liked it. Then I watched the fourth quarter of season 1. They screwed up the pacing very much, in that they ''rushed'' through the ''preliminary round'' of a tournament arc, and then season 1 ended. Treated as a season, it was a rubbish ending. Then season 2 comes along, and actually finishes the tournament with much more reasonable pacing. I'd go so far as to say there's not really any point watching the last 6 episodes of S1 if you aren't going to see S2. With that said, I can see that it doesn't have a great likelyhood of making the schedule, as I'm effectively proposing an 18-episode pseudo-series (S1 E1-18) optionally followed by a 19-episode pseudo-series (S1 E19-24, S2 E1-13) and admitting the start of the second pseudo-series has bad pacing. But, I really really enjoyed this show for the most part, so I'm going to mention it here anyway. If we ever ended up in a situation where screening an 18-episode series wouldn't completely mess up the schedule, I'd recommend we show the first three-quarters of S1, and then decide at that point whether we're collectively interested in watching S2.

* Fun tournament-type show. Some fanservice kind of grates. Not as keen as Max is myself. -MP

* The Great Passage - Fune wo Amu - 舟を編む

** Only 1 episode has aired so far, but seems promisingly interesting and different
