I dunno, something about it feels like a well done cross between Ouran High School Host Club and Engaged to the Unidentified, at least in the way they approach comedy.
By and large it just uses tropes from shoujo manga or quirky characters and parodies them a bit. 'Throw two or more of the cast together, add a shoujo trope (sharing an umbrella on the way home from school), let the characters talk or hear a narration, ???, profit' rise and repeat. It sounds simple, and it is, it's probably it's greatest strength, but the jokes have a certain wit about them, it's a nice change from the normal school romantic comedy (it's not sophisticated but it's a far cry from 'opps I tripped over and now my hand is on your boob! Oh no, don't kick me! *nose bleed*').

Just based on the PVs the two new Studio Mappa works look promising, Psycho Pass season 2, Parasyte, Fate: Stay Night remake, the new kyoto animation work is pretty much guaranteed to be at least alright, kyoani doesn't make bad anime, Chaikas second season, Log Horizons second season, Nanatsu no Taizai and a bunch of other random miscellaneous anime that just sound interesting from their descriptions
I'm going to have a lot of shit to watch this fall
Edit: oh, and of course mushishi

Wow so Tokyo Ghoul just ended.
That was bullshit.
That was bullshit.

I didn't even bother anymore after episode 6 or 7

Are you talking about the manga?

Oh wait, the manga ended?
Shiit, I thought you meant the anime
I need to go read that shit now
Edit: ok, I just read it, if that truly is the final chapter then the best conclusion I can come to is that the series got cancelled or something. It's really either that or the author just got tired of making it because there are so many other things that could have happened and this is very open ended and in no way conclusive at all.
Sigh. It always deeply upsets me to see things I like end like this, like I can't stop thinking about what could have been.
In any case, this guy should never write again if this is really the way he wanted to end this, because this is a completely unacceptable cop out

I have high hopes for the new Kyoani anime! I really wish they'd just finish fmp though

It has a harem tag. Approaching with cautious optimism.

I'm waiting on Durarara Season 2 - it's coming out at the beginning of jan I believe. Almost fell out of my chair when I read the announcement. Also pretty excited for Kuroko no Basuke season 3, teams are just going to get even more OP from now, read a bit of the manga.

I finished Spice and Wolf 2 today and I must say it was very lovely. Like, what's the feeling that makes you smile a little when you watch a show that constantly has witty flirting between two characters that are sort of in a label-less relationship? Lovely seemed the most appropriate.
Also, as a confession to youwish, I think you got me on being "jealous" at how Lawrence gets to roam around with a babe. Like, at the start I was feeling what I'd probably feel if I watched a movie where Emma Stone had a passionate love-making scene with like Steve Buscemi or something. It really did become fun, though.
If I had money though I'd be throwing many Trennis to my screen in hopes of getting a season 3. This one is just begging for another season or any form of resolution.
