That's the series with quite a few Kamen Rider references and is written by the guy who's writing Gaim, right? Or am I completely off base?

I decided to take a break from Evangelion for a bit (I'll watch the rebuild films later on) and decided to try Attack on Titan. I really like what I've seen so far. Music is awesome. Animation is (for the most part) great. I like the concept and most of the characters so far. Gonna catch up on the series this week and try to follow it weekly.

It doesn't have any Kamen Rider references except having a lot of (coincidental) plot similarities to Ryuki, but yes the writer is the one doing Gaim

And so I slog on with G-Gundam... Episode 10 felt more like a Mummies Alive and Scooby Doo crossover. Still overall I really enjoyed this episode, mainly because it was largely focused around the Dragon Gundam and Domon only really came in at the end to do his super saiyan giga drill breaker, which is awesome. So yeah.

I have two episodes of Bakemonogatari left now, which means I'm midway through the Tsuabasa Cat arc.

The Sengouku arc was definitely the weakest so far - the character sucks and the snake spirit scenes were more than a little awkward to watch. However episode 12 (the Koyomi/Hitagi date episode) really made up for it. Not a lot happened, but the episode was just so nice and heartwarming that its been one of the standout episodes for me.

B-but... Renai Circulation!
I was actually completely disappointed by that arc too. The theme song during that one was just the best.

Since I walked to work this morning with that on repeat, I can't argue

Although I knew and liked that song already, as it's also Mayuri from Steins;Gate

It's probably the weakest in all of Monogatari.
And Sengoku is simply annoying.

But 12 on the other side was great.

She's literally just there for fanservice. I mean all of them are fanservicey in their own way but at least everyone else actually has a decent storyline as well.

Anyway, series is all finished now. Absolutely loved it, I can see now why everyone praises it as a modern classic.

Hopefully the rest of the franchise lives up to this.

Yeah, the worst part is that Nadeko has another arc in the novels so... ugh

Well... Nisemono is kinda hit or miss, as they spend way too much time on reintroducing the characters, and as such Karen and Tsukihi feel kinda left out, but when it gets going it's nice.

Nekomono, and Monogatari S2 seem to do better.

Also take in account that the Novel that follows Bakemono hasn't been adapted yet, but it has many key plot points for future stories.
If you are interested in reading it it's available on Baka-Tsuki, I would recommend it.

Episode 9 of Tekka made me realise how much I'm not enjoying this show. What should have been a deep and intriguing look into its world and story, left my mind wandering and thinking about what is for lunch.

I guess it didn't help that about 3/4s of the episode wasn't even animated.
