I've heard that the aim of the Endless Eight arc was to try and convey the same kind of feelings to the audience that the characters (well, I suppose Nagato, Kyon and Koizume) would have been feeling in that situation, and it supposedly would have been more effective watching it when it was airing once a week, as opposed to how it felt for us finish-the-series-in-a-day types. Though, if it was just a huge troll after all the hype they built up, then it was damn successful! I didn't really dislike the second season that much though. It definitely wasn't as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it.
As for this seasons anime, I'm watching:
- Attack on Titan (technically spring?)
- Watamote
- Love Lab
- Danganronpa
- Free!
They're all pretty enjoyable. I aim to start Blood Lad soon and I'm catching up on the Monogatari series, so I may be adding a couple more to that list. I'm pretty excited for Fall though, Kill la Kill looks especially promising.
I was taking a look at Wolf Children, haven't watched it yet, but it seems to have incredible reviews on MAL, so I'm planning to give it a shot.
