Notes: irregular schedule because Alan and Steve were out of town for AnimeLA, and no showings Saturday because of AnimeLA and Chinese New Year. Notes from Brian:
I'll list what we watched and my own impressions:
Saga of Tanya the Evil - Arthur is right, episode 2 is the origin story of Tanya, and could (should?) have been the first episode. Changes the way you'll interpret Tanya's character. Not saying you'll like it necessarily, but may give you a whole different reason to dislike the show!
Fate/Grand Order - You'll need to know a lot about the Fate franchise to really care anything about this.
Chaos;Child - Didn't want to watch a long sampler after Fate, so skipped this.
Seiren - Looking over other unwatched samplers, this is what we landed on. CR failed us originally, so we went on the the feature. Retried afterwards and succeeded. Appears to be comedy/romance? Decent writing, if slow starting.
Appleseed OVA - Apathy was apparent in regards to the choices (even entertained non-anime items), but we settled on this. Decent old OVA, but was almost unwatchable because of the DVD subtitle font. Must have looked ok on a 20" screen.
