Line 148:

** Anime original magical girl (?) show that is long on symbolism and characterisation at the expense of immediate plot coherency. First episode struck me as slow and incoherent but I've warmed to it a lot thereafter. Essentially a coming of age story about two girls with a lot of psychedelic window dressing thus far. -MP

** I can confirm the first episode was slow and incoherent. Painfully so. I went no further. --maxb

** I'm quite liking it - I'm voting it on the schedule if possible -- AIM

* Occultic;Nine

** High paced mystery show about an ensemble cast and supernatural bullshit. Writing is pretty sharp overall but attention is required so should go in an early slot if at all. I'm enjoying it a fair amount but as with all mystery shows it could all fall apart in the end. -MP

Line 154:

Line 155:

* Lostorage incited WIXOSS

** The third season of Madoka the Gathering but with a new setting and cast. Essentially a dark melodrama about a card game eating your soul or something. The first two seasons were fairly mediocre (Mari Okada is a hack- except for 00 obviously) but the third season has a new writer and is a far more polished and compelling story. I'm aware this is a stretch but if I did push for it I'd suggest we jump straight into the third season- my friend did so happily and no prior knowledge is really required so far. -MP

** Currently watching it - somehow doesn't feel as high-octane as it should be -- AIM

* Magical Girl Raising Project

** is definitely worth a look, but may possibly end up not being schedule material because too many people have watched it.

Line 163:

Line 165:

* Poco's Udon World (うどんの国の金色毛鞠 Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari)

** Another propaganda anime for raising birth rates in Japan. Guy from Tokyo goes back to hometown, finds and takes care of a young boy who is actually a tanuki. Hijinks ensue. Also, first anime I've seen with a Maserati in it. -YYY

* Mirai Nikki

** Apparently, not enough people in this group have seen it. - AIM

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KonoSuba Konosuba]

** Japanese gamer guy dies, and is allowed to re-incarnate in another world to become an adventurer (to kill an demon king, or something). A happy comedy show with probably the most dysfunctional party possible.

** Getting a second season in winter.
