The new season starts tomorrow? Great googly moogly, where'd the time go?

Here's my list:
Shuumatsu no Izetta (Sat 10/1)
Vivid Strike! (Sat 10/1)
Soushin Shoujo Matoi (Tue 10/4)
Brave Witches (Wed 10/5)
Keijo!!! (Thu 10/6)
But as usual I don't expect some of those to last more than one episode.
Keijo, for instance, is a near certain drop.

I'll watch the new season of
Chi's Sweet Home, but probably not until it's all been released. Other than that, nothing stands out for me.

This new version of Chi's Sweet Home is kinda of weird and utterly unlike the previous incarnation. They're doing digital claymation effect instead of just plain animation. Not sure how I feel about it until I watch it.

Logos
This is a neat Pixiv site: He's created large size versions of all kinds of logos from anime. He started with doing all the team logos for
Girls und Panzer and then did all the squadron logos for
Strike Witches, and then did a bunch of things I didn't recognize.
I did spot the
Bentenmaru logo, and there are a bunch of logos for the Fleet of Fog which I think he created. They're all gorgeous and huge.

I did my preview a long time ago on a day when I didn't have anything else to post, and a lot's changed since them. I just took a look at the preview for Izetta and she's a witch that can fly. But she doesn't ride a broom; she rides a Barrett Long Rifle.
And that's awesome. I assume it's a really stupid show.

Meet the Candidates!
This commentary on the US election is awesome. (And if you go up a level, there are a bunch of other picture groups about it, too.)

Bernie Sanders as Captain America? I don't know whether to wince and roll my eyes at the dissonance or clap with glee over the irony.
The rest are a buncha fun though.

Summer 2016 review
Ubu Roi has one of his very
rare posts, this one being a review of all the stuff he's watched this season. It provides additional evidence, if it were needed, that I'm not missing anything by not following any show this season.
I'm collecting
Ange Vierge but not really watching it regularly, and
Dragon Ball Super is "watch when I feel like it", which isn't very often because the current "Black Goku" arc is really phenomenally stupid. It rivals the "Majin Bu" arc in DBZ for brain damage.
DBZ took the power-inflation curve up to absurd levels, and Dragon Ball Super begins where DBZ left off and has hyped the power levels up
even further.
Anyway, there isn't anything else.
UPDATE: Don also has
a list of shows he's not watching.

His selection is just... special. No
ReLIFE, no
Saiki, no
Planetarian. No
Love Live Sunshine, no
Amanchuu. Not even
Sweetness and Lightning. It's as if he selected everything worst and rejected everything best on purpose. Granted,
re:Zero received a critical acclaim, so there's a bit of intersect. If one wants a decent snapshot of a season, people like Chris Siebenman do a better job with a more comprehensive list.

Pete, I think he said he had also watched some other shows and was going to make another post.

No I didn't. I said I might look at Beserk, and Dr. Heinous was enjoying Mob Psycho.
This is a classic case of "what you like is what you like, what I like is what I like." I don't care about a guy that gets to re-live his high-school days. I hated mine, so why should I? Sweetness and Lightning sounds like I'd puke from saccharine. Ditto for most of Pete's list.
I'm the other curmudgeonly old man 'round here, so get offa my lawn.

I've been trolled
James, now a happy citizen of Texas, has trolled me with pictures of fighting girls. Obviously you all need to go look at them.
UPDATE: Except the first one isn't a girl; it's a guy named Zorro from One Piece.
And I'm truly ashamed that I know that.

Hentai x Hentai
Ubu has done a public service by delving deep into HxH, including reading 7 of the light novels. He has two posts about it (
one,
two) which convince me even more that I want nothing to do with that series.

Worse. I read the eighth novel, or as much as on Baka-Tuski.
Now *I* don't want to have anything to do with it.

They have good things to say about the
ReLIFE and
Orange mangas, so I'll give those two a try. (Two of the time travel shows this season.)
I haven't watched
Bakuon yet, or the second half of
Gate, or even
GuP, so I've got plenty to fall back on.

Mild interest in a couple, wondering if I missed the boat with Prism, and too much mecha. Not to mention... a talking fart?
No, Japan. Just. No.

The only show that I have even the slightest interest in is Taboo Tattoo and I think it likely that one will also be crap.

Bakuon!! -- votes of confidence
Omo says "Bakuon!! is my top anime of the season."
Evirus says "Bakuon!! turned out to be the best show from Spring 2016"
Seems I'm not the only person who fell for this show.
