Magi 25: Eh. Better than Ao no Exorcist. Season 2 confirmed for fall, and from the manga readers it seems like they just squished two arcs together in the last half and made up Alibaba's transformation. Shouldn't be hard to continue from there I guess. I'll keep watching.
Marathoned Zetsuen no Tempest:
Pretty damn good. I'd put it at my third favorite of the shows that just finished up, behind Shinsekai and Psycho-Pass. Followed the Gurren Lagann plot pattern of a really intense first half followed by a half dozen oddly slice-of-life-yet-still-plot-advancing material then finishes up intense again. Aika was a really great character and the other MCs were also quite watchable. Nice to get some relatively alpha, decisive MCs. The Shakespearean elements were well blended and well explained, considering I've not at all familiar with Hamlet or Tempest. My biggest complaint is the extent to which Hanemura seemed to be some sort of half-retarded MacGuffin.
Felt good to clean out 26 GBs of shows I won't be saving. All that's left to watch is GLORIOUS JOJO
