Of course. [It's bedtime, so see you tomorrow! I'll tell you when I'm caught up, okay?]

My all time favorite series is Genshiken. I think anyone who claims to be an otaku should see that show.

You have a good point. It does address fairly hardcore otaku, though. Not everyone has to go hardcore, nor does anyone alone get to define it.

Yeah back when Genshiken began, society in general still kept otaku culture at arms length. Gradually we've reached the point where it's almost universally accepted. When viewed through the lighthearted lens of today's connotation, it does seem pretty hardcore. But I love everything about that series. The manga finally finished last year which broke my heart. But if you look at the original series and compare it with the atmosphere of Nidaime, it's almost daylight and dark. I learned to love the new characters though.

I haven't kept up with buying or reading the new manga. The new series blew me away. I've watched it twice, and I will certainly do so more times. Need to get the rest of the volumes soon.

I can't find the subbed version of Kobato online.

Nevermind, I found it on a site I sometimes go on. I'll try to watch three episodes a day.

I saw some videos of Tachikomas and decided I had to watch Ghost In The Shell:Stand Alone Complex. I started on the second episode immediately after the first, this might be one of those rare animes I binge watch. Also I think Tachikomas are the only mechs I've ever liked.

I never really kept track of how many different anime I watched, though I know it must be a rather large number. Favorite anime would have to be Neon Genesis Evangelion though.

The 2017 Fall season has officially started, two of the new shows that have aired so far is a far future sequel to Negima, and a Sequel to the surprisingly popular Osomatsu-san.

But a quick stop at how the Summer season went.
Princess Principal stayed pretty consistently awesome, as a surprise of the season, where I gave full marks to.

Made In Abyss had a jaw dropping finale, delivering on some of the darkness that it promised earlier, being a huge feels train.

Kakegurui ended up being surprisingly fun in its indulgent gambling romp.

In Another World With my Smartphone somehow managed to keep attention, despite having incredibly cliché and problem writing, with one of the most blatant examples of an overpowered Gary Stu.

Tsurezure Children got attention despite being half length episodes, having some really nice and funny romantic comedy, like the best bits taken out of other shows.

A Centaur's Life covered a wide range of interesting topics, most notably politics.

Gamers also turned out pretty fun where it had some interesting ideas to play with expectations, where it did an ohmage for gamer culture, and some fun character chemistry.

New Game also managed to surpass its expectations of being a more cute show.

And Sakura Quest was another great show to put alongside Shirobako as anime that manage to have anime about working adults, where I was actually sad at having to say goodbye as I got so attached to the characters as people.

I recommend doing something to try and keep track, otherwise I could not say that I have watched approximately 930 things to completion. Also I have little hope of being able to off my head recall a vast majority of those, and would find it sad if I could not go back and remember some of them.

I'm so happy they got a double-length last episode. There's no way they could've covered all that in only 23 minutes. It's too bad the manga is coming out so slowly...it'll be quite a while before we even have enough material for a season 2.

Thanks for the reviews, Brad!

I haven't watched any of Kobato yet. I'm sorry.
