I pretty much avoid all forms of basket and Baseball when it comes to anime (and RL for that matter), i guess im not a fan of unrealistic portrayals of sports, which is a why i only like Whistle! and Giant Killers (both football) and outside of that the first half of Eyeshield 21.
Anyway from what i seen of people posting KnB manga pages it looks to involve people with super-skills like vanishing while dribbling or being able to shoot from anywhere on the court.
Half time report (6 eps in)!
Still watching -
Tamako Market - hooked on Kyoani moe SoL(unsurprising). Though for all the advances in them making the talking bird a great central character they still want to go back to the MC girl being a complete dunce when it comes to romance which is about the only negative knock i have against it.
Minami-ke Tadaima - High school comedy(with abit of romance) first two episodes weren't great, to much of the sisters and little of the better side characters which fixes itself ep3 onwards, though it still feels like there trotting out same skits from first 3 seasons and it is annoying to never see any of the characters after so many episodes to not have advanced in character or relationships for all the romance they sneak in for only for it to become the butt of the joke.
Da Capo 3 - just enough stupid fan service every episode to keep the character introductions going for the 6 girls (still 2 to go) before they set in the story to keep me watching, definitely better that DC2 but the lack of magic so far puts behind DC1. And it helps DC's has history of unpredictable winners.
OreShura - pretty average high school romance show, there is just enough between making white a bitch and ginger a tragic heroine to keep me interested as they haven't set a dead cert "winner" (yet)
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - its dropped in quality abit from the good first couple of episodes, i think the main problem is i feel im missing out of to much background story and character interaction, heck even the male MC adventures are mostly slide show art... not quite the Wolf and Spice show everyone was hoping for, still worth watching above the rest of highschool and idol shows.
AKB0048 S2- more dead-eyed CGI freakish dancing and what reminds me almost of starfox(64) with mittens approach to the fight with the DES makes me laugh and keep coming back for more... they even put in alittle xfactor voting show to start it all off.
Vividred Op - still introducing the cast so the story hasn't got going yet so who knows if it will go grimdark, but for the moment its all monster of the week, with girls doing girly stuff still its time to fight. I did facepalm a bit they where giggling over the tomato's thing while all around them the army was getting slaughter by the hundreds. The tranformations are fantastic
Love Live - a different take on Tari Tari plot but with singing idols, but way more budget and AKB style CGI dancing. Seems alright for what it is.
Kotoura-san - man, this show. Kotoura about the "moe'ist" character going this season but with the added grimdark past she carries with her from being able to read minds and the great male lead being the best sidekick, laughs and saddness all in one.
Mondaijitachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu yo - giving it a few more episodes for this battle shounen to get going, so far its all about setting the story up, but the MC's don't have that underdog appeal to them being so strong which is where i'm loosing interest. It is different to have MC's that are super strong already for a change so they can just get on with the story, but they've yet to offer up a decent villian/challanges.
Sasami-san@Ganbaranai - few more eps in gives the plot completely giving away so they can just get up to strange high-jinx, its basically SHAFT's take on Haruhi but with none of the charm. The SHAFT'ness of it stops me from dropping it just see what maddess(and animation) they get up to next.
Chihayafuru S2, Jojo part2, PPass, Z Tempest, Magi, HxH, Sakurasou, Saint Seiya O and space bros still going strong. (oh man ep42/43 of space bros was fantastic that bit where
)
Dropped -
Little Busters - stopped at ep12, just couldn't take anymore of the moetards SoL with still no story in sight and still more character introductions.. pacing problems.
Senran Kagura - if your eechi fighting show and feature little fighting(and what there is of it Saint Seiya levels of ****, nothing ninja about it) and the worst, most boring cliche and censored fan service there going it's just not worth watching.
Hakkenden "reimaging" - i couldn't get through the first episode it was that bad is every department, how you mess up the dog soldiers story this badly when there already a decent tv show and OVA there for a template...
Amneisa - i tried but gave up on ep4, just complete none-sense

, to bad most of the album was crap. Anyway there never been anything quite like Mishishi episodic spectrology in almost 10 years since release.. when you finish it, about the closest to it is Natsume Yuujinchou series (which is fantastic in its own right) and maybe Monogatari series which is more fan-service driven.
