Watched hanamonogatari. Loved it, but the near full episode of exposition was a bit dull.
Still, 9/10

finished Psycho-Pass earlier today. 8/10. solid, simply great show with no frills. high animation production values, characters i enjoyed, solid story, classic setup and good delivery. ghost in the shell lite.

finished Aldnoah.Zero just now. 6/10 at best. don't bother. mediocre series with bland, forgettable characters and iffy CGI. a story not worth writing home about. middle of the series actually gets pretty nifty but the horrible ending ruins all that. it's just a setup for a second season anyway.

gotta wait till january for jojo now.......................

I actually enjoyed Aldnoah Zero

but that ending was indeed ridiculous. Slaine is insane.

Some other things I finished recently:
Stardust Crusaders (first half): I didn't like this as much as Jojo's parts 1 and 2 because it focuses so much on villain of the week and has very little continuity or development. Supposedly the second half of this series is better, but I'm not interested enough in Jojo's to read any of the manga.
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki: My favorite anime of the season
Tokyo Ghoul: 2edgy4me
Locodol: It was sort of enjoyable.
Captain Earth: So much bad writing with countless plot points that go nowhere, a rushed ending, and villains that essentially lose their personality after the episode they're introduced in
Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei: A bit worse than the first season thanks to the introduction of an 'antagonist' with half-hearted meaningless goals and making the protagonist lose power rather than gain new abilities.

Within the next week, a few more series I've been following will end: Free S2, Persona 4 Golden, Barakamon, and Mahouka

the whole "villain of the week" setup is exactly why Stardust Crusaders is one of my least favorite parts of the manga. and since the anime version of Phantom Blood is way better than its manga counterpart, when it comes to the anime I honestly think Stardust is the worst part thus far lol

but yeah stardust actually gets way better from here on out. very creative stands and a fantastic final arc.

the parts after stardust still sort of do "villain of the week," but not in such an obvious, cramped matter. i'm really looking forward to the eventual animation of part 4 because my god i love it

ahh i need to watch the rest of nozaki-kun i like it a lot too

Nyerp

at least jojo is a show where even typical villain of the week stuff is extremely entertaining
