Okay, I've taken enough time away from JoJo. Gonna start Part 4 with ridiculous expectations because the manga was amazing, and, so far, the anime has made each manga part far better. I am pretty hype going in, but before that, I watched some other stuff and never really talked about them, so here's some small thoughts.

Magi S2
I really liked it, but it was unfortunate that it pretty much only focused on Aladdin. Hell, my favorites from S1, Morgana and Kougyoku, barely had any presence here. Still, it was a pretty solid story with great animation, and I love the art style, which are all great things for a battle shounen to have. Winder if we'll see more animated.

Fate/Zero S2
I'm gonna blame myself for not being as into this one as most people. I watched S1 a few years ago and was super into it. Not really sure why I took such a long break, but it really wasn't meant for that. I forgot a lot of important story and character details and was just a bit confused for a lot of it. I probably should've just rewatched S1, since I feel like S2 won't feel as good to me anymore. Still, I enjoyed it, because ufotable makes amazing action sequences and brilliant scores.

Kara no Kyoukai
As I said earlier, I'm not technically finished. I also said I had trouble following the plot, which is true. There are just bits of the story I was never able to wrap my head around, and the first four jumping around didn't really help matters. Weird that 5 is my favorite by a long shot, since I've read that people say this is the hardest to follow. I just really liked Tomoe's story. I thought it was extremely moving and more emotional than anything else in the series.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu S1
This was pretty solid. I wasn't expecting it to be entirely set in a flashback after the first episode, but it worked pretty well. You get to see this bitter old dude at first, then are shown how he became that way. It's not exactl the most unique concept, but it's told quite well. All of the characters feel very real, and the way they grow together is fantastic to watch. I did think the big twist (I guess you'd call it that? Even though you knew it'd happen because it tells you in episode 1) was kinda dumb. Not that it happened, but how it happened. Pretty lame. I also loved the rakugo scenes, which I think were polarizing ITT. The first episode had the best one though.
