I watched a lot.

BRAVE WITCHES - 7/10 - Continuing on from Strike Witches this time it's the 502nd brigade. It wasn't an ecchi fest like Strike, I don't think there really was any, I enjoyed the comedy and the characters.

CARDFIGHT VANGUARD G NEXT - 13 episodes into it's current series.

DRIFTERS - 9/10 - This was amazing to watch, very graphic of course, Nobunaga = MVP.

FLIP FLAPPERS - 8/10 - I enjoyed this anime a lot and thought it was wonderful.

HIBIKE EUPHONIUM 2 - 9/10 - I thought it was a really good season, can't believe they only won a bronze though, must be ridiculous tough competition they were up against.

KEIJO - 9/10 - This was a lot of fun to watch and the story told was pretty good. I thought they did a really good job with the names of the skills used and whenever they would parody something. I am pretty sure in that final moment of the last battle was portraying Kenshin VS Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin.

LONG RIDERS - 8/10 - This is about a female cycling group and it surprised me by how good it was, the main character decides to take up cycling, meets some new friends and trains really hard in order to complete a long rider. Still 2 episodes to go as it is on break.

MAHOU SHOUJO IKUESI KEIKAKU - 8/10 - My god the carnage is what former WWE announcer Jim Ross would say if he watched this. La Pucelle dying early on was a really shocking moment, I expected him to be there at the very end protecting Snow White.

NANBAKA - 7/10 - I actually liked the different style of animation and I thought the comedy was pretty good at times, thought at times it was a little too silly. Hajime is one bad motherfucker and I just can't get enough of that warden.

SHOW BY ROCK 2 - 7/10 - Not quite as good as the 1st season but I still nenjoyed this, Dagger was up to his usual antics for a little bit until we the a new enemy called the dark queen trying to destroy the world of music. Pyuru may have become the new Kupo!

SHUUMATSU NO IZETTA - 7/10 - I enjoyed the story that it told, I am into war a bit anyway because my grandparent o nmy fathers side both took part in WW II. It didn't bother me that there wasn't any Yuri. Sometimes 2 girls are allowed to be superfriends without being in a relationship. Nanoha & Fate are a good example.

SOUL BUSTER - 6/10 - I don't know anything about Chinese history so I didn't really understand much about the characters, the episodes were short like 10 minutes each and it was kinda strange at times.

SHOUSHIN SHOUJO MATOI - 8/10 - I really enjoyed the story and the slow burn of relationships between some of the characters. Just a feel good anime with the perfect happy ending that I hoped for.

STELLA NO MAHOU - 8/10 - This anime is about a group of 1st year high school girls who look like they are 10 who are making video games. The character development is good and I enjoyed watching them work hard and do well at the Comic Market.

VIVID STRIKE - 5/10 - A spin off from Magical Lyrical Nanoha Vivid

There were a lot of parts I enjoyed during this series but I will give Vivid Strike a thumbs in the middle.

Main mission was accomplished, I loved Fuuka throughout this series and it was great to see her words and fists was able to save Rinne and they have become inseparable again. Rinne & Fuuka together in this episode was beautiful. The reaction of Rinne's mother when seeing Fuuka was awesome.

Overall I don't really like the way Rinne was used. You see all those medals and trophies with her name on them, who did she really beat to win all them?

Those videos of her past victories in the early episodes were all against random characters. At the start of this series she was hyped up as a near unstoppable monster with a ridiculous win loss record.

But she had to go against her word to beat Miura, then lost to Vivio and Fuuka, in other words she didn't do very well against anyone that was relevant.

She didn't even have a special move. The moment Fuuka looked at Rinne at the end there and saw those beautiful eyes again, a special move could have been born right there and then as Rinne turned into her true self and allow her to get the victory.

I really wanted her to be a winner throughout the series and defeat Einhart and become champion as she she saw the light during that fight with Fuuka and was completely changed from it so it was safe for her to win.

They did a really good job making Fuuka a star but I felt that Rinne could have made into a really big star, she just feels like another character to me now.

I expected more from someone who is the undisputed world #1, for someone who was chasing after Einhart's title and her overall fighting record that was shown to us in the first couple of episodes, she was made to look a lot weaker than she should have been.

The characters in the previous Vivid series could all probably blow her away and she probably never had a chance against Einihart from the beginning.
