7:45 - 8:35 Macross Δ aka Macross Delta 25-26 (BD, fs)
8:35 - 8:55 intermission
8:55 - 9:15 short samplers
TO BE HERO (CR)
9:15 - 10:30 Sweetness and Lightning 7-9 (CR)
Notes: we watched the first few minutes of Nanbaka while wiating for other folks to arrive. We had to abandone Love Live Sunshine - it was just too annoying somehow, and had been getting more unbearable over time. We were somehow able to continue with Macross Delta - it was imopssible to actually care about it, but it wasn't as annoying...
We gave up on TO BE HERO after a couple minutes, but ended up watching 3 episodes of Hagane Orchestra, since it's surprsingly entertaining - certainly pulling the weight of a 4-minute episode well. During and after break we talked about what to do about our remaining shows, since we had so many disappointments this season. We looked at ANN's Best and Worst of the Winter 2016 Season (http://animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-04-05/the-best-and-worst-of-the-winter-2016-season/.100692), since that's when Girls Beyond the Wasteland ran...and apparently it's all downhill after the writing lockdown episode. We also looked at a few other shows, as well as the current season's ratings (Best and Worst of the Season so far - http://animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-12-06/the-best-and-worst-of-the-season-so-far-week-of-nov-26-dec-2/.109578).
