I ran out of anime to watch, or at least ones I want to watch. I don’t know if I’m losing interest or it’s something that happens and I’ll be back into after a month or something.

If you're into weird and somewhat obscure -though its not 90s- try Fantastic Children. The animation style is a little childish but the story is...something...

Would you recommend it?

I'll warn you that....
The ending is a bit anticlimactic for all the drama that was worth. All around its still an OK series, if you can overlook the fact that children act so maturely in it.

The anime is a small middle section from a way longer manga so I'm fully prepared for pacing issues and not having an actual conclusion.

so...
Is the manga's ultimate ending just as bland? Or does it manage to have some form of emotive conclusion to the characters' coming of age and their sexuality?

Having only seen the first season of "Attack on Titan", can anyone here let me know if it's ok, or a waste of time, to start watching the second season?

The second season leave not a Chekhov gun but a full armory! And it seems short. (I have the third season in the queue).

Currently I had watched Made in Abyss

Surprisingly good with a quite of scenery porn and despite the cute design the history is turning to the dark pretty quickly, and the hook for the second season (for next year) it is quite promising.

Next section of Made in Abyss is going to be adapted as a Movie not a TV season. Which is a good thing as there's not quite enough for a full second season without hitting the current arc and the current arc isn't quite done yet. (And probably won't be for a few months, Tsukushi releases chapters at a glacial pace) and being a movie gives them more budget for Bonedrewd's brilliance.

I watched the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for the first time. Was incredible surprised to find out she was an "always serious" girl. From what I saw in the Haruharu yukai dance (before I watched the show) and in the Op's as well, she didn't come off as a serious person. But that's what I get for assuming. I'll probably watch the 2nd episode later today.

The second season has, what I consider at least, the absolute BEST action scene this entire thing has done. Watch it just to get to that.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

It seems that I have a weakness for slow paced manga authors.
