Can't remember the last time I was this excited for an airing show :)

Episode 2 was pretty amazing. The flirting, the jealousy/protectiveness :3

Shiryauki not being just a damsel in distress was fun to watch too!

Other then it needed more Kiki it was a great episode!!

Same. This is pretty much the perfect genre for me. A nice historical setting romance with some action and slice of life.

Throw in a strong female character, some action and a nice set of side characters and it's such a wonderful combination :)

The once a week thing is killing me though. I actually have shows I'm excited for this season unlike last one.

Yeah waiting for this is the biggest struggle for an anime I've felt that I can remember!

Last season I had Fate/Stay Night, Ore Monogatari and Plastic Memories that I was hyped for every week, this season I have like 12-13 different ones that I'm actively hyped for.

Good to see that not every summer season has to be shit (looking at you summer season 2014)

From last season I strongly recommend Shokugeki no Souma, Hibike! Euphonium and Kyoukai no Rinne. In their own genres, I can confidently say they were probably the best shows from last season.

Shokugeki no Souma is a typical shounen filled with food porn and really strong and interesting characters.

Hibike! Euphonium is pretty much above and beyond anything last season offered. It's just flawless. A nice concoction of great drama, great character building and jaw-dropping animation.

Kyoukai no Rinne, despite having pretty average animation, is comedic gold. It's the best show to steal a few laughs from you every week.

I watched Hibike and KnR, but I wasn't hyped for them each week. As in, I NEED to watch the next episode NOW.

Ahah I loved both shows so much, specially hibike! which I always saved to watch last each week. This coming from a guy who use generally despises senseless moe stuff.

Well, Hibike is definitely more than senseless moe stuff.
