What Have You Watched This Past Week That is NOT a Currently Airing Show? [October 18th, 2015]

This last week has been a busy one for me!

I finished Kaiba this week. I was impressed! This anime was quite interesting and thoroughly engrossing, just awesome all around! It's just the type of anime I like.

I also finished [Princess Tutu] this week. Quite good, it could drag at some points and it was a little bit .. kiddish at some points, but that's to be expected. It was very impressed/surprised overall, and I LOVED that ending. Don't let the name fool you, this anime was definitely worth my time.

I've watched episodes 5 and 6 of Nagi no Asukara. .. I dunno, I loved the idea for the world at first but it's grating on me a bit, primarily the characters and how weirdly unauthentic a lot of the conflicts feel. I want to love it, I hear it's like Shinsekai which is one of my favorite anime .. but I'm on the fence. Does this anime get better?

I've watched episodes 5 - 8 of Revolutionary Girl Utena. In one way a lot of what's happening is really interesting, and I do like the symbolism I've picked up on so far, but a lot of what's happened so far feels like filler which I don't like much. I'm probably gonna watch all of it regardless because I love heavily symbolic anime, but I'm curious, is there an episode where most Utena fans would say it picks up? This does seem like a popular anime around here.

I also started Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 .. today, actually, and I'm currently about to watch episode 5. I'm liking it a lot! It's not perfect, but it's super engrossing. There have been a few episodes where I've been like "huh? It's over?" .. which isn't something that happens often, I check the time left a looot, even for anime I like. I just wish I knew a place with good discussions on it, it doesn't seem be on here. MAL is too busy calling a middle schooler who just had her world ripped apart a bitch, so ehhh.

Lastly, I watched episode 2 of FLCL. Uuuuh, I don't really know what to say, I kind of want to wait until the end before I say anything on this anime. I watched this anime when I was younger and hated it immediately, and that's not at all how I feel this time, but it's still .. weird, and difficult to process.
