There are no best dogs. Dogs aren't anything "best". Maybe best thing to leave on the roadway before getting a cat.

Dogs?  Eh.  

Best dog I can think of is Dog from Aho Girl.  His jib had a good cut.

Only watched the first new one so far and it seems to be a really interesting one. Deciding to have the most boring trip ever promises that it's mostly going to be about character interaction. The character design is quite specific, but pleasing. The VO has an A-cast of Seiyuus. The overall quality is pretty good and I expect a lot of amazing backgrounds and scenic shots.

I'm glad to pick this up, since I didn't have it on my radar.

It's also a very interesting lesson of Japanese. Proving once again that Japanese people just don't give a shit when it comes to pronunciation. In this case they're pronouncing Uchuu (宇宙) as Sora (そら). So they're basically saying space is like the sky to make some kind of clever analogy about the distance from Japan to Antarctica. God I hate those people. Creative Japanese people are poison for Japanese learners.

Not feeling the first episode of the newest "orgasmic reactions to food" anime at all. There was nothing to make me like either character and I certainly don't care enough about ramen to get excited over it.

Making sex faces because at dinner was fine and everything when Koufuku Graffiti did it but, like pretty much everything in anime, it has been run into the ground.

With just Yuru camp and A Place Further than the Universe, I'm having the biggest smile this season, with what is left plus what is already announced for future seasons, this is gonna be an amazing anime year for me.

It was fantastic. Wrapped up quite nicely.

Also the amnesty is officially the most useless group of people I have ever seen.

While waiting on this season to get rolling, I've been working on my anime backlog some more. This week's show was Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun. Basic premise is a normal girl confesses to a boy she likes in a roundabout way, finds out he's actually a popular shoujo manga author, and somehow becomes his assistant, meeting his other assistants/classmates/friends in the process.

Holy cow did I love this show! Can't remember the last time an anime had me laughing so hard. Lots of misdirection, but I enjoy that kind of humor. Funny premise, and I pretty much liked the entire cast of characters. 

Everyone in unison: We don't care about your life, boom.

Okay okay geez. Well here's some interesting news for legal anime viewers. Apparently Amazon has shut down Strike, its dedicated anime channel, and has transferred all of its content to Prime Video. Great news for me, since I have a Prime account but never cared enough to pay extra for anime there. Curious if this will impact Amazon picking up anime in the future and keeping it off Crunchyroll/Funimation. Seems Strike wasn't a very popular service. Guess this means Made in Abyss will be next in my backlog.

Everyone in unison: This is interesting, thanks boom.

I was expecting the worse but I'm so glad I was wrong, as it delivered another happy ending, with lots of touching moments along the way.

Top tier Openings already.

I won't lie, I almost cut off Toji no Miko in the first five minutes.  Seemed really generic.  However, it turned out to be fairly interesting, at least enough that I am on board for now.  The girl with the giant sword did the most to win me over.

I've already gushed about Yuri Camp enough in the manga thread so I won't talk about it too much here.  Rin is just awesome, though.  I want that to be known.  

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun is excellent.  I've talked about the manga quite a bit in the manga thread.  I adore Sakura--not only is she cute but she's also really funny.  Her reactions to Nozaki-kun's stupidity are always great.  Really unique supporting characters, too.

The anime seems really under-watched.
