 * is listening to Oda Nobuna no Yabou OST right now* Damn, what a throwback. And Takanashi is a god. *-*

That aside, oh my god, yes, CTRL+A and CTRL+C have become quite the routine for me whenever I type something lengthy, especially here... I'd rage quit life if I lost a text of this length.

I haven't really been invested in Yuri on Ice as much, but even I could tell that it was quite the unique series. I've enjoyed reading your analysis as you've brought up quite a lot of interesting points, some of which I probably didn't even realize when watching the show. I think it's rather sad that at the end of the day, the anime had to suffer from script cuts - I mean, holy shit, they had to use an ending to show how Viktor ended up coaching Yuri. I did like the whole scene though, it was funny and heartwarming. Party hard eeeey. Or the obvious lack of budget at times. And holy god, how much more obvious that becomes on my new laptop I'mnotbragging with the screen resolution of a billboard size okay, that's a huge exaggeration obviously, but the point is made xD. So yes, at times, it was quite obvious that this anime was a bit too much for them, but still, I have to aplaud them for all the other beautiful animations they managed to pull off. I also agree that on many fronts, it ended up escaping cliche developments or unnecessary drama. Most of the time, to be fair. I do wonder who is the character that you don't like, was it the siscon guy? xD Yeah, I'm truly bad when it comes to remembering names... Among others.

I also have to say that you pretty much nailed the issues of Hibike S2. It was still a pretty nice watch, I got the "feels" multiple times throughout the whole season, but literally everything you've said applies. And I have to say that Asuka's arc actually made me like her less in the long run. The finale was fantastic though (I completely forgot there was one more episode to go when I posted the blog...)

As for Haikyuu, I actually didn't even try to think about it - if I tried, the result of the match should've been obvious to me from get go, but instead, I flew into every episode with an expectation of epic things happening and boy, did every of those 10 episodes deliver? I love Tsukki. His development is absolutely fantastic.

Lul Fairy Tail OVAs. Okay, I was originally looking forward to the censored Sun Village scene being remade in the OVA, but they actually didn't get the whole thing right - perhaps the lack of Gray? The rest was pretty much filler which was somewhat random, but other than that, okay.

As for the Christmas one, holy jesus, were the filler parts LQ as hell in terms of art? You'd think they'd at least make OVAs look good, especially when they were already delayed. Well, it looks like all the budget went into the 'canon' part and I actually thought it was done well, especially the Jellal part at the end.
