I'd dropped Naruto anime ever since the filler get stack up beyond comprehension but I still continue watching the movies and the manga.
The latest one, Road to Ninja...well, it's not the best. I would give it 7/10 but it did get me shed manly tears.
Welp, that's it I want to talk about. Now, what do we have here...
Nice finding!

I mean, Naruto gets to live his life with his family, albiet he's only inside the other world whilst, Sakura parents become the hero of Konoha and she's an orphan instead of Naruto. She did learnt on how lonely it was to be Naruto and he on the otherhand get to feel the feeling of having a father and a mother.
Enough of that, the story sets in parallel world. Sasuke turns into another douche, Hinata turn into a beach, Neji and Lee became pervert, Kakashi became energatic instead of Gai, Sai turned into worst painter, Akatsuki became neutral a.k.a mercenaries and Naruto has his dark persona, Menma. Though only Naruto and Sakura remains normal there.
I'm a bit dissapointed that they don't have enough screen time but still, the story are focusing more on Naruto's parallel life so I guess it's something!

Psycho-Pass 22 (End)
Apart from that I very very quickly burnt through Zetsuen no Tempest, and - wow! Amazing. So good.
A pretty fitting finale to a really fun series. The truck sequence got a bit awkward, but it was an interesting conclusion, I guess. I enjoyed the way Makishima was basically hunted down by Kogami right at the end, like a bloodhound, it was appropriate given all the allusions to the enforcers being like hunting dogs. I also liked the finality of Makishima's death. In the end, he was just a weirdo, nothing more.
I'm less sure I liked the way the actual show ended its' series. Seems like there will be a S2, but I could've done with a bit more closure. The way we saw Akane bring in a newbie was pretty nice because it showed the cyclical nature of their job, but if there's going to be a S2, why not hold off on that stuff? You could start the next series like that and make the end of the first one a bit more poignant. I hope we learn more about SIBYL's creation, though. That stuff is really interesting and makes you ask some questions about the morality of such a system.
Music was great in the show as well, and although they went back to the same well a few too many times, it gave the show a great intensity and tempo. One of the better OSTs I've heard in a while.
Fun show, but it had its' flaws, including one or two kinda off-beat arcs just after the beginning, before it finally refound its' feet in the second half and pushed on and on. Couldn't stop watching it. Recommended.

I wouldn't put it so simply.
His intelligence reached a level beyond the everyday way of thinking, where the latter is an automated and unquestioned way of life.
As an example, if we were to live our lives the same way everyday - 9-5 come home, shower, eat, sleep, pay bills, buy groceries, repeat, then what is the meaning of it all?
Makishima questions commonly-used (and experienced) behaviours and reactions, by forcing the exact opposite event to occur. In this case, he was out to upset the stagnant nature of Japan made thanks to Sibyl by destroying Sibyl itself. He wanted to open the eyes of its citizens to free themselves from the overruling system that controlled everyone's lives. When you think of it that way, he isn't a weirdo. He's what you can call an anti-hero (from the perspective of the show), or a chaotic saviour with his crude methods (such as openly displaying a case of murder).

Started Ore Imo S2 .
Pretty much continues where it left off but it looks like it should be good.

No it's not. Who told you this?
Recall liking it, just watched ep1, now finding myself extremely frustrated watching Kyousuke put up with all her 🤬
This show pissed me off more than Guilty Crown probably.

I tend to "like" shows the moment I watch them, but I realize that has little worth when I can think back a few months later and remember that it wasn't all that special. It's easy to get into "the moment" and be carried away with hype since the feeling greats great, but that's only for the moment, not a lasting emotion. And the show certainly didn't leave much for me to want to remember anyway.
All I can think of that makes this show outstanding from the rest (of other contemporary titles) is the brother/sister x otaku + eroge relationship. Even then I find myself frustrated because Kyousuke just never talks back to her. It took half the season last time around for her to notice how awful she's treated him and in this season, we're back to square one. So now I'm not going to bother. Rather wait for Railgun S.

I guess spring 2013 isn't a total bust for me. I just found Aiura and Yuyushiki to go along with OreImo S2. I've got those three, and then I'm planning on watching the English dub of SAO when it gets released later this year. I'm also thinking about watching Hyakko too, but I'm not totally sure about that.

You're mixing up something here in that case.
Wiki
They put Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency into one season. It's not a back-to-back thing. Stardust Crusader if anything will air in autumn.

JoJo did quite well in sales (Was it a 20K average so far? I haven't looked exactly at sales in quite a while, been lazy.), so it for sure will get more. They're not going to let money just sit on the table.
Now if only it could be picked up for legal streaming, hopefully Daisuki solves that...
