A fun and good watch but a bit lacking in direction.
Overlord (Seasons 1-3)
Hanamonogatari
Very good arc here, all the good supernatural, psychological intrigue, with hardly any of the annoying ecchi aspect. Praise.
Saga of Tanya the Evil: The Movie
Everything good from the series and then some. Better pacing, better action, more of the introspection and question asking.
Saga of Tanya the Evil (Youjo Senki)
Stellar military piece with fascinating philosophical aspects. Makes you inspect your stance on national policy, patriotism, war, social Darwinism, and capitalism.
Monogatari Series: Second Season
It's worth slogging through Nisemonogatari and Nekomonogatari to get here. Fantastic arcs.
The Garden of Words
Short, sweet, and ridiculously beautiful in animation.
Hinamatsuri
A quality comedy that does a surprisingly good exploration of the struggles of “making it” in life.
Nekomonogatari Black (Kuro)
Was the Tsubasa Cat arc in Bakemonogatari not sexy enough for you? Here it is again but in lingerie. And I GUESS some more character development with Shinobu.
Plastic Memories
A good number of emotional gems stand out among cookie-cutter anime formula. Overall, it felt like the story, setting, and characters didn't match up right.
Fate/Extra – Last Encore
Monogatari-style plot, Fate functionality, and Final Fantasy-type Final Boss. Kind of a chore to watch.
