Synopsis

Hello!! Kiniro Mosaic (Kiniro Mosaic, Season 2)

It’s Alice’s second year in Japan. Her second year living with Shino, going to school with Shino and being with Shino and all her other friends in Japan. It’s time for another year of fun.

Tonight’s Episodes: “Seaside Promise“

Aya has done her best to plan out a homework schedule for Youko, to avoid a repeat of every previous summer vacation where Youko turns up at her door the day before school begging for help. Karen’s new friend Honoka got to spend some of her summer vacation with Karen, Alice and Shino. Unfortunately, since she has a tennis club match on, she isn’t coming to the beach. It’s just Karen, Alice, Shino, Youko and Aya making the train journey to the seaside.

Kamisama Hajimemashita, 2nd Season

Momozono Nanami continues to serve as the Earth Deity of the Mikage Shrine, and the fox spirit Tomoe continues to serve as her familiar. Their feelings for each other are becoming harder to ignore, but Nanami’s duties as an Earth Deity won’t wait. And an old friend of Tomoe’s is starting to stir up trouble.

Tonight’s Episodes: “The Diety Sneaks In”

Nanami and Tomoe have accompanied Botanmaru and Kurama (whose real name is Shinjuro) back to the hidden Mt Kurama to help the ailing Sojobo, or at least solve the succession crisis his ill health has caused. The deceitful Yatori is already there whispering in the ear of the Sojobo’s presumed successor, the rough and unkind Jiro. But whilst the others reside in the humble abode of Shinjuro’s disgraced childhood friend Suiro, Nanami has found the mountain’s sacred cherry blossom tree, and made it bloom before Jiro’s eyes.

Shirobako (White Box)

Aoi Miyamori and her four friends made up the Animation club at their high school, and all five of them aimed to go into the Anime industry after graduation. Now Aoi, like her friends, has made her dream come true. She works for Musashino Animation, a little studio in Tokyo. The job comes with all sorts of challenges and stresses but Aoi wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t something she wanted to do.

Tonight’s Episodes: “Idepon Miyamori: On the Move“

Takanashi really is bad at his job. He could have avoided any kind of dispute between Endou and Yuichirou of the studio’s CG department, but instead created a major feud that resulted in Endou quitting. Endou has reconsidered his rash decision (no thanks to Takanashi) and even taken a look at the CG version of Episode 8’s ending. But Takanashi’s talent for mayhem knows no bounds. The explosions at the end of Episode 8 have to match Episode 9’s beginning, and Aoi has just received a call from one of the animators for Episode 9 …

Log Horizon 2

Life continues for Shiroe and the others trapped within the world of Elder Tale. The city of Akihabara is now prosperous and thriving thanks to the efforts and innovations of the adventurers. But prosperity does not guarantee safety, Shiroe’s skills have already been tested against the nefarious Nureha and her guild Plant Hwyaden, and now he must find a way to secure Akihabara’s future against those who would seek to claim it for themselves.

Tonight’s Episodes: “The Pioneers” Finale

The Eternal Moths have now progressed to putting even adventurers to sleep. And to complicate matters they have turned the former adventurer city of Shibuya, and its precious communications tower, into a raid zone. When Shiroe leads a raid party to the new “Calling Fortress” his uncertainty about whether to save the tower or help the People of the Land gets them almost completely wiped out. But once his friends strengthen his resolve to do the right thing, Shiroe decides on a new course of action … save them both.

Amagi Brilliant Park

Amagi Brilliant Park is an amusement park, a place of magical wonder and whimsy. Or at least it’s supposed to be. The park has fallen on hard times and that’s bad news for the staff. Who genuinely are magical. There’s no place for these oddballs from a fantasy world except an amusement park, so they need theirs to stay open. That’s where Kanie Seiya comes in, a pompous high school student and burned out child star is the perfect person to manage this particular mad-house.

Tonight’s Episodes: “Not a Good PV!” Finale

The park has been saved. Takaya from Amagi Development, who was actually the vengeful wizard in disguise, has been seen off. Even Princess Latifa’s curse has been averted by the amassed Animus created by all the visitors to the park. And Kanie has decided to stay on as park manager, after his sister pointed out he had never been happier than when he was working at Amagi. Of course, meeting one year’s quota doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to meet the next years. So first things first, put out a decent promotional video for the park.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (Assassination Classroom)

The students of Class 3E are the lost causes of Kunugigaoka Junior High. But they have been given one last chance to redeem themselves. Their new teacher is not human, he’s a monster that blew a hole through the moon and now threatens to do the same to Earth in twelve months’ time. If the students can manage to kill him before then, they get 10 billion yen and the gratitude of the worlds’ governments. So, it’s time to assassinate the teacher! Which is kind of a shame, because he’s a really good teacher.

Tonight’s Episodes: “Finals Time” and “School’s Out Time – 1st Period”

Itona and Shiro made their second attempt on Koro-sensei, tricking Terasaka into endangering the entire E Class in order to drive Koro-sensei into a corner, but Terasaka makes up for this by being the punching bag in Karma’s counter-strategy. With that out of the way it’s time to prepare for the end of year exams, and Koro-sensei is offering a huge reward as incentive; every student that comes top in the school for a subject gets to shoot off one of his tentacles, reducing his overall speed and thus making him easier to kill.

Akame ga Kill (Red-Eye Kill)

Tatsumi was hoping to find enough money in the capital to save his poverty stricken village, what he found instead was corruption and slaughter. The prime minister is the power behind the throne, manipulating the infant emperor for his own gain, and the common folk of the empire suffer under his reign. A group of assassins known as Night Raid prowl the city, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake. But as Tatsumi quickly discovers, they may be the only hope the empire has.

Tonight’s Episode: “Kill the Fated“

The Path of Peace, it seems, is important to both the Revolutionary Army and the Prime Minister. In addition to Esdeath and her Yeagers, the Prime Minister also sent the Four Koukenji Raksha Demons to protect his agents within the church. With the Yeager’s having arrived (despite Kurome not being fully recovered) the Raksha Demons go on the offensive. However, for all their boasting they really aren’t up to the task of facing skilled Imperial Arms users … three of the four Raksha’s are dead without Night Raid losing any more members.

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

Shirou Emiya, a high school student and amateur magus living in Fuyuki City, finds himself a participant in the Fifth Holy Grail War. A secret tournament between mages and their servants, reincarnated heroes and legendary figures, to claim the Holy Grail; a chalice that can grant any wish.

Tonight’s Episode: “A Legendary Showdown“

Despite both having lost their servants, Rin and Shirou both agree to continue fighting in the Holy Grail War. They decide that their best option is to seek an alliance with Illyasviel, since the mage controlled Heracles might be useful against the out of control Medea. Unfortunately they are not the only ones interested in her, Shinji and his new servant get there first. Their interest, however, is not in an alliance. Shinji’s servant knows that the Grail’s vessel is contained within Illyavsiel herself…

Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken (JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure)

The Joestar’s are a wealthy English family, but one with a dark fate. Ever since the days of Jonathon Joestar and his adopted brother Dio Brando, and the succession struggle that came about from Dio’s greed, the Joestar family line has found itself embroiled in supernatural horror and world-threatening ambition. And it always falls to the current Jojo, whomever it may be, to stop the madness.

Tonight’s Episode: “The Game Master“

Speedwagon has discovered, too late, that Straizo was not someone he could trust when it came to the Stone Mask. Or to a whole room full of stone masks. Now Straizo has made himself a vampire, with Speedwagon’s blood, and come to New York to kill the only people left who know of the mask, its powers and its weaknesses; the elderly Erina and her grandson Joseph Joestar. The new JoJo is the primary target, before his Hamon powers become a threat to Straizo. Unfortunately, he has underestimated both Jojo’s intelligence … and his capacity for doing crazy things.
