Been watching a lot of anime.

Aldnoah Zero just supplanted Escaflowne as my favorite mecha. I don't care if we were 'lied to' with the season 1 finale. I like the tactical explanations, and I certainly have no desire to watch 13 episodes with Slaine as the protagonist. Slaine is a worm.

Also liking Your Lie in April. Great slice-of-life, though I'm not qualified to judge the music.

Also, Terraformars. The 'science' is a bit over the top, but I'm willing to forgive a lot when it's about Mars.

Also, just marathoned A Lull in the Sea, another slice-of-life–slash–romance. Which, I thought was a really interesting non-scifi. Just like Star Wars is really a western, A Lull in the Sea applies a lot of real-world village and xenophobia dynamics via strictly-unnecessary scifi/fantasy. I like it. Though I depressed myself rooting for a character I knew would end up alone. Such is life.
