After extensive review, I have compiled a list of recommended shows for this season.
- Recovery of an MMO Junkie (Recommendation of the Wonderful Virtual Life)
That concludes the list.
Our heroine, Morioka Moriko, quits her day job to become an "elite NEET". Finding that her old MMO has long since discontinued service, she starts playing a new one, and finds herself in an online relationship (sort-of).
If you enjoyed 'Gamers!' there's a good chance you'll like this. Although it's not quite as funny, it doesn't make the mistake of getting bogged down in relationship graph theory.
And if I'm honest about my reasons for watching this...I think Moriko is
totes adorkable.

Among continuing series,
March Comes in Like a Lion,
Food Wars, and
Dragonball Super are all pretty solid. Although Dragonball is somewhat variable in quality, right now is as good as it gets. This season of Food Wars is palatable, but its not as fresh as it was at the beginning of the series.
Other stuff:
BLEND-S (4-episodes, continuing): I really shouldn't be enjoying this, and I'll drop it as soon as I can get through an episode without laughing.
Juni Taisen: Zodiac War (4-episodes, continuing): The battle royale/deathmatch form is hardly new, but it's fairly well executed here. I just hope they don't get stuck in the pattern of killing characters off shortly after presenting their backstory.
Vanishing Line (4-episode drop): It wasn't
bad, but the ensemble-cast/monster-of-the-week format rarely leads to a satisfying series.
Twocar (4-episode drop): There wasn't enough racing-related drama, and the yuri wasn't really working for me.
Konohana Kitan (4-episode drop): The fourth episode was just pointless enough to push me over the fence. Nice kimono designs, though.
Evil or Live (1-episode drop): Pretentious; unimaginative.
Shigurui (finished): I loved the deliberate pacing, and the art style (perhaps it sometimes tried to be too artistic for its own good). But although I appreciate the references to classic samurai movies (like Sword of Doom), this sometimes pushed the limits of squeamishness, which prevents me from calling this "good". I'm not a Tarantino fan, but if you like the sort of movies that he took inspiration from to make Kill Bill, you might find something of interest here.
Has anyone been watching this season of Kino no Tabi? I was a fan of the 2003 version, but I've been avoiding this one because...well, if it's bad, I can't unwatch it.
