Pretty sure, that's the girl from the strangest gambling anime Kakegurui. Which is getting a second season. It's funny how nobody recognizes her when she's not making a creepy pervert face.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind I see you were talking about the sparkly one to all the way on the other side.

Btw @Sky we can nominate episodes aired this week like Boogiepop?

Sky · Jan 5, 2019

Sky said:
Nominating day is on Sunday. It is possible to nominate BEFORE that day, but NOT after the following Monday.

A week goes from Sunday to Saturday. The Nomination day for that whole week is the day AFTER that Saturday. For example: This week goes from Dec 31st to Jan 5th, 23:59 CET. Voting days for this week would be the 6th and the 7th 23:59 CET.

You could vote twice for Boogiebop. Yes.

Arjuna · Jan 5, 2019

So I nominate

Boogiepop Episode 1
Boogiepop Episode 2

For now may change it something later.

No. No Prescreenings.

Jammin · Jan 5, 2019

Radiant

That's probably going to be my only vote this week. I watched Boogiepop, and it was quite pretty, but.. no.

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 5, 2019, Original Post Date: Jan 5, 2019 ---

Wait @Sky is Today's Menu for the Emiya Family eligible. I know it's a bizarre "episodes come out completely randomly" kind of show but an episode did come out this week and it was good.

That was an ONA. As written in the rules, not eligible.
Even if it weren't, it wouldn't meet the minimum episodes per season requirement.
Radiant is a special case here, as it only has 8 episodes this season.

The people in charge of when, how, and in what numbers anime episodes come out just love to make your life difficult don't they? :amuse

It's as if they know what we are doing here and try to trigger me intentionally.
Boogiebop apparently has 18 episodes, so. Fuck them.

This week's picks!

Boogiepop wa Warawanai -ep01- This is only getting one vote from me. It's not bad. Hope it keeps it up.
Sword Art Online: Alicization -ep13- God mode is not a cheat code in this 'game'

Egao no Daika -ep01- Kinda childish, but not bad

Lord El-Melloi II-sei no Jikenbo -ep00- Just a special, but episode 0 for a future series that looks good.
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari -pre-air of episode 1- Can't vote for a pre-air but… January 9th here we come!

These are insta-drops

Mayonaka no Yoitore Danshi - total waste of time… complete trash. Even fujoshi wouldn't like this. There's a reason I mentioned that genre … hint hint
W'z - This is a sequel to Handshakers… a show I dropped winter 2017
Mini Toji - superdeformed version of Toji no Miko . Another show I dropped.

I've just finished bingeing the first season of Mob Psycho 100… it was so good! Ready for season 2!

Did you see the second episode?It's actually better.

Not much choice so I will go with the only one which I saw (and completed in this week)

Really wanted to nominate Tate no Yuusha but yeah next week then.

So my third nomination

SAO

Yup! I saw both. I'm actually treating them both as a single episode, kind of like Tate no Yuusha has a long first episode (that we can't vote for...yet)

I didn't feel it warranted 2 votes.

I guess if you put it like that

I wonder if next episodes will be good enough to vote in the AL,I am hoping it will be good after all this LN started the LN trend in Japan and I heard a rumor that Monogatari author was influenced by this Novel so let's see.

I'm hoping the future episodes are good. I wouldn't be surprised if the Monogatari author was influenced by this series... it kind of feels right up their alley.

My picks for this week

Sword Art Online Alicization

Awe, after all these years all she wanted was a huge, should have went outside and held out one of those free hugs signs.

Her backstory is interesting though, being a regular child and then in an instant she basically becomes the most powerful person in the world wielding all that authority thanks to Quinella.

Yay only another 100 floors lol, Aincrad all over again, Kirito's face told us exactly what he thought of going through all that again.

Ah excellent, they now have a way to save Alice, I can tell it won't be that easy to get her with one of those knives though, I'm sure she is very powerful by now, it will definitely take some effort.

At least they can know enhance their own weapons once they get them back, looks like that red knight from the previous episode will be in their way first, looking forward to the upcoming fights.

BanG Dream!

Shuwa Shuwa Shuwarin Dreaming, Pastel Life was a lot of fun to watch. So was Girls Band Pico.

Haha love Arisa's reaction to Kasumi.

Yeah not sure what Rinko was thinking becoming the president when she is such a shy and nervous person, at least Sayo is there.

That other school will definitely boppin' with Hina as their president, always found it funny how Sayo & Hina go to different schools even though they are twins.

We got to see all 5 main bands perform in the 1st episode, that is awesome.

Roselia is my favourite band out of them all, love their music and bought their Anfang CD.

BLACK SHOUT is the song they had a quick demo of to end the show for those who didn't know.

Boogiepop wa Warawanai Episode 2

Didn't realize this show is from 2000, I will probably go and watch the original version at some point.

I was very confused as to what was going on after the 1st episodes but now things make a lot more sense after watching the 2nd.

I am quite into this, I like the mystery and drama and I am very interested to see what happens next.

Spirit · Jan 6, 2019

My picks for week 1:

Sword Art Online Alicization - This game is so much more broken than the others and I love it. Overall I'm really enjoying the plot of this season after the travesty that was Gun Gale...

Boogiepop - I think I first watched the original series when I was 7. This is a punch in the face of nostalgia. Wow.
