My #1 show last year. Almost surpasses hyouka.
I've been reading the manga (crunchyroll has a translated version via their manga service) and there really isn't any perverted or dumb shit in here. Its really about a single father who is trying to fill the hole in the family that was left by his wife dying by learning how to cook well. The highschool student's mom owns a restaurant (or was it a cafe) so the highschool student and the father learn to cook better together and learn to get through their problems as well.
outside of
her eventually developing a crush on him
This will be a wholesome anime.

Its not the second half of Usagi Drop. Don't expect that kind of fuckery, or any fuckery what so ever.

If nothing else, at the end of each chapter is a recipe + instructions on how to make the food shown during that chapter. And unlike in Souma's manga, these are quite simple to make.

Well, I mean, there's been people here that's been put off (at least slightly) from Non Non Biyori because of Hotaru so who knows
i can't tell you how much i love food stuff in anime.
weird i haven't bothered to sit down and watch shoku yet. No shonen void in my heart right now. (Also I kind of honestly just want a straight up animated cooking show, but that probably has the marketability of a dead squid)

Those people have problems.
Half of each chapter of Amaama to Inazuma is basically a recipe guild (Edit: or should I say as close to a recipe guild as you can get in a manga without it getting boring). Unless they heavily cut that stuff from the anime, this might be as close as you get to a cooking show.

No but there are whole youtube channels devoted to that. All I can cook is burnt corn flakes.
I almost want to make all the fried rice shown, especially the one that beat Ikumi, hahaha
Anne-Happy episodes 7-12(END)
I'm not gonna say this anime was bad, it really wasn't. However it was basically the epitome of disappointment. Through-out the entire series we are given slight glimps and hints at something maybe a little deeper. I remember people here thinking after a few episodes that we might get a School-live level twist or something sinister might be a foot, but nothing really ends up happening. All we end up knowing is that the teacher has some combat/ military training, and the school is wayyyy too well funded for what its doing. And the show acknowledges these things, but does nothing with them. Even that character whose face is hidden in the OP doesn't get properly revealed. It just feels like there was so much potential for interesting (if potentially dumb) ideas to have happen, but we get basically nothing but randomness and oddities.
Basically, if you don't wanna read the top paragraph: The dark undertones of the show go NOWHERE.
I also have issue with how, outside of Ren and Honoka, each character's "quirk" is just that. A quirk. Never expounded on. Its like you give characters traits where they can grow and have arcs and maybe make them quite interesting but, again, nothing comes about them. The whole "being in love with an illustration" thing? Nothing really changes. Getting lost? Nothing really changes. etc etc etc. The only character that seems to have any change with them (outside of some cliche tsundere stuff) is Hibari in how she see's herself. However, considering that Botan has a lot more self-hate issues that she does (and, of course, nothing about that changes as the series progresses), it feels kind of hollow as a result. Hibari's change in the series feels choppy, regardless. Rather than her gradually feeling more comfortable with herself its more just a few moments in the series where they kind of force her to see herself in a better light. Nothing really wrong with that, but considering the studio has so many opportunities to give good character development to these characters and chose not to... well... I guess I'm just kind of salty. I think more character development and maybe smarter character development would have been nice.
In the end it felt like the studio wanted to do something interesting and slightly out of left field here, but were stuck with what they had. And the show suffers for it.
I wouldn't recommend it. Watch School-live instead.

I will always maintain that Chuunibyou season 1 is legit good, and that season 2 is bad.

Nijiiro Days ep.22-END
There has to be another season incoming down the road because they left everying inconclusive and that makes me slightly angry. These episodes were cutecand flew right by, but still, I want confirmed ships dammit!

Ya, I heard the next arc was going to be brutal, but I didn't think they meant this kind of brutal.

I don't understand a concern about spoilers for an adaptation (where in this case the original manga is already on Crunchyroll for anyone who cares to read it). Unless you're worried about knowing what changes the anime may have made to the source material.

Well read the manga ^_^.
Feel exactly the same way, I honestly can't believe the direction they took season 2 in.
It's like all the stuff they pointed out that was immature in season one was suddenly fine in season two. Also changing Iishiki into a background character was a pretty bad idea.
you mean fmp s3

Fullmetal Alchemist:B ep.39
Oops, Scar wasn't being as much of a douche as I thought he was, but damn steep climb ahead of everyone here.
The problem is that they railroaded all of the character development from S1 and tried to amplify it, but ended up trying too hard with all the misunderstandings and awkward crap. It ended up reducing the established couple back to friendzone for the most part. Because ya know, who wants to live in reality?

Yeah I agree, season 1 was really good. I was super hyped for season 2, but it was basically filler since nothing progressed overall. :/

oh yes CR got The Morose Mononokean cant wait.
Got to agree, nothing happened or character's regressed from their developments at the conclusion of season 1. And whilst I did like the odd few delusional fights, they really went overdrive into with it in season 2 and acted like it was acceptable rather than a way of dealing with someone's anxieties.

I assume it was already in the works to do more. That and I guess chuu2 developed from their novel contest thing or whatever.

Chuunibyou S1 was a major success in terms of disc sales, selling 15k per volume. The second season had a dropoff in sales, as is typical for sequels, selling only 7k per volume.
Of course, disc sales, while important, aren't everything when it comes to greenlighting sequels.
Finished the shows I was watching this season except Kabaneri (I'm like 2 episodes behind on that one and not sure when I'll catch up. Not feeling it after the last couple or so).

Samurai Flamenco 6
At this point it feels like the story is rushing to hit certain narrative beats in order to evoke certain tokusatsu tropes. There's still some quirky humor I appreciate, but the whole thing is beginning to feel mechanical. I'm not really a fan of the Flamenco Girls, which puts a damper on any scene where they show up.
Still, the stationary weapon cache was amusing to see.
