    I think I'll have to look for the first season of Spice and Wolf elsewhere; Netflix doesn't have it here on Canada! D: (WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY)

    Anyway, I've finally gotten around to watching the Kantai Collection. It's a bit slow at first and it might be a bit over the top for some (water-skating school girls carrying cannons... Yeah.), but it does grow on you and there's something about this that makes me want to come back for more. If the battles aren't your type, I'd definitely recommend watching Arpeggio of Blue Steel instead if you want naval battles.

    Also, being that the anime is based on a browser card game with lots of references to WW2, I suggest throwing all your knowledge out of the window. I didn't realize they were referring to a lot of the battles in WW2 until someone pointed it out to me, and it was noted that there are some battles that were depicted with the protagonists as winning (Battle of Midway, for example) despite being a historical loss for Japan at that point.

    I need to get back to watching the following:

    Future Diary
    Girls und Panzer
    Sword Art Online (Season 2)
    Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders

    I'm thinking next season instead of getting something crazy going on, we should pick shows to watch on our own or sync and then discuss/gush over the episodes on teamspeak

    Lots of new seasons to shows. The Spring season is underway. Let's pick out a couple of shows to keep up on?
    One Show you want to watch
    One show you think the rest of us would like to watch
    One wildcard that you don't think you would watch otherwise but may be awesome.

    Since I tend to binge watch things, I watched Black Lagoon recently, along with Aldnoah Zero.

    I do recommend Black Lagoon, not so much Aldnoah Zero. They went full Gundam. :3

    Another old favourite is Kara No Kyoukai, garden of sinners.

    I don't really have the patience to wait to watch the next few episodes.

    Based on the synopsis I'd give these opinions:

    Wanna watch:
    Lupin III
    Digimon Adventure Tri.
    Knights of Sidionia Season 2 (I think I'll wait for the dub to come out on Netflix...)

    I think everyone else would appreciate:
    Gunslinger Stratos
    Kekkai Sensen
    Ghost in the Shell: Alternative Architecture

    Wildcards:
    Owari No Seraph
    Plastic Memories (I'm feeling a Chobits-like vibe here)
    Hibike! Euphonium (The trailer seems interesting... I haven't watched K-On! but maybe we can see something similar?)


    I BROKE THE RULES! 8D

    My reviews so far.
    Owari no Seraph: Starts nicely But quickly turns into seemingly yet another DBZ formula clone, but the comedy is quite good. Worth watching just for that IMO.
    Gunslinger Stratos: the Animation: Was not really sure I would like this from the synopsis, but it has grown on me within 4 eps.
    Fate/Stay Night: UBW: It's Fate/Stay Night, just a retelling of a retelling, but the animation is beautiful and the path they've chosen is an interesting one (and actually different from the VN).
    Arslan Senki: Have only watched 1 ep so far and it's really not catching me like I thought it would, but I will stick it out to the end.
