• Made in Abyss:

  --> Reg Genos was amazing!
  --> Genos and Riko complement each other excellently.

  --> Good closure to this arc.
  --> Convos were executed very well.
  --> Todoroki proves again that he is the best character of this series.

Spoiler

• Fate Apocrypha:
  --> Okay episode overall. It needs to pick up some pace in the action department.
  --> Sadly, the feels this show tries to convey doesn't reach me.

This week I'll go with.

- Fate/Apocrypha (Moedred. Is. Justice.)
- Re:Creators
- Owarimonogatari (Episode 1 specifically, as two episodes aired this week)

I was tempted to vote for Owarimonogatari twice. Since both of it's episodes this week are good but I can't kick Re:Creators off the list with the awesome episode it had. And not voting for Fate/Apocrypha this week is...

....impossible.​

 

[Wowzers]

This weeks Selections:

Fate/Apocrypha <-- Moedred
Owarimonogatari <-- 7 episodes in 2 days means it'll get a lot of votes this week and maybe next... but that's it.
Re:Creators <-- It's back and it was really good
Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou <-- REALLY good this week. It's been my #4 pick for a while and deserves a vote. Since Owarimonogatari is disqualified, this gets bumped up!

If I could pick more?

Spoiler: Notes

Sunday
Knights & Magic - geez! does he have an unlimited research budget?
Centaur no Nayami - Cute as usual 3/5 <-- yes its the same as last week
Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun - this got a little snicker out me... a small one. 3/5
Kakegurui - skip Aug 19
Fate/Apocrypha - Well, that was a fun Moedred episode

Monday
Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou - Well, that was awesome! 5/5
Isekai Shokudou - I wish this had more of a plot... oh well.

Tuesday
Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni - Nope Slimes!
Aho Girl - he he
Nanamaru Sanbatsu - it was ok... 3/5


Wednesday
Nora to Oujo to Noraneko Heart - the fix is in on that quiz show
Hajimete no Gal - The censorship was pretty extreme this episode...

Thursday
Gamers! - ok ok... just how misunderstood can 5 different people be


Friday
Made in Abyss - That thing sure looked strange, like something was buchered but could still move independantly.
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul - Skip till Aug 18
Shoukoku no Altair - Skip till Aug 18

Saturday
Boku no Hero Academia - This felt filler-ish, even though is kinda sorta isn't.
Re:Creators - Well, it's back! Nice fights, and Altair is really OP.
Owarimonogatari - Another season of pausing to read every few seconds has arrived! Seems to be slightly less fine print this time... at least for now.

 

[Zasz]

Fate/Apocrypha (Moedred. )
New Game! (Hifumin. )
Princess Principal (it's a pity that no one is voting for it, considering how good it actually is. I'd totally recommend it!)

 

[Demonspeed]

Owarimonogatari S2 01.
Re:Creators.

I need to think a little more for the third one.

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 13, 2017, Original Post Date: Aug 13, 2017 ---

Wait, the Owarimonogatri episodes this week count as four or two long ones?

 

[Nii]

Owarimonogatari is a bit of an odd case. I don't know how Sky wants to handle this, personally I'm fine with people voting for it considering it aired on TV but people should be aware that there won't be any more episodes coming after this weekend, the show's over already. Anyway, my votes are:

Kakegurui
Re: Creators
Made in Abyss

 

[Juviii]

Re:Creators (great episode!)
Fate/ Apocrypha (I guess no one can resist a Mordred centered episode...)
Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e

 

[Sky]

Regarding Owarimonogatari:

Yes it aired on TV but only over the course of two days (?) so making it eligible here makes little to no sense. It is more like an OVA in that sense.
So to clarify: It isn't eligible.

 

[syx]

• Made in Abyss:
  --> Ozen left an amazing impression
  --> Marluk was cute
  --> Riko was fun

• Re: Creators:
  --> Best episode of the series, brilliant action, music!
  --> What a cliffhanger...
  --> and...

• Kakegurui:
  --> Oh gosh, I really missed Yumeko's voice
  --> Yomozuki so cuteeeeee :3
  --> Yumeko
  --> YUMEKO
  --> YUMEKOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  --> can someone please kill that horrendous guy whose name I won't even try to remember...

Spoiler: Other series I watched

• Fate Apocrypha:
  --> had good and bad moments
  --> Moedred is currently better at being moe instead of being badass
  --> Chiron was cool , Assassin going for close combat against Moedred
  --> weird animations sometimes

• Boku no Hero Academia:
  --> Just no... horrible...

It's your call Sky but that seems really arbitrary to me. We're voting for the best non-OVA anime episodes of the week. Owarimonogatari season 2 is not an OVA. Granted it's episode length and the way it's airing are both highly irregular but it is still a TV anime with episodes that aired this week. It can't win due to those things but I really don't see how or why it shouldn't be eligible for these two weeks.

 

[Sky]

Imho it simply makes no sense to allow an Anime which is gone after a week to participate here. Especially because we have 7(?) episodes as a whole so by definition you can't even vote for all of them.
To me it would simply be unfair to the show itself as it is too good to simply appear once and then disappear to the lower half of the table.
