Even if they're "real" the decision was made to not release them. They're stories that were specifically chosen to not be canon.

Okay, thanks! I just wanted to be sure it wasn't a bug.

Am I missing something? As far as I can tell the third episode hasn't aired yet. Did the bot just bug out because Netflix has it listed despite it not being available for another 5 days?

From this season

• Blue Box - Seems to be a solid adaptation of the manga. I wonder if they went too far making everything as pretty as possible, but that might just be the recoil of watching this right after having seen Ping Pong: The Animation. Now that color has been added, I can finally tell Chinatsu and Hina apart, which is nice.
• Dandadan - An excellent adaptation of the manga. Warning: first episode has sexual assault in it. There's also another sexual assault scene in a later arc. If you can stomach that, this is a wild, fun tale of some teenagers who are trying to survive in a world beset by yokai and aliens.

Older stuff

• Ping Pong: The Animation - A cool show. This is one to watch if you start feeling like too many anime look the same, or if you're tired of how every character looks like a model. This is also one to watch if you just want to see a good sports anime.

• Eureka 7 - I'm only 30-something episodes in, but this show has just been getting better and better. Easily one of the best mech anime I've ever seen, assuming they don't do anything to screw it up later. Very stylish; I love the concept of mechs that fight while riding turbulence on surfboards. It also has a charming cast.

• Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans - This is another one I'm only 30-something episodes into. So far it's been really good! Not nearly as bleak as the name or the first couple of episodes would have you believe. So far, anyways. I don't like it quite as much as I like Eureka 7, but it's close.

That's excellent news! I know the show's tone threw some people off, but I really enjoyed season 1. Hopefully the animation quality remains excellent.

The visuals look nice; I look forward to seeing how they animate the badminton matches.

That's good; the manga didn't move especially quickly and I didn't think this story could leave a strong impression in only 12 episodes.

The part of your workday that you’re most likely to die during is your commute, especially if you drive, which is not covered by DoL or OSHA.

FWIW this is because of DoL and OSHA making sure that once you get to work they have to keep you reasonably safe. This was not always the case in the past.

Thanks for the explanation! Does this apply only to anime or does it also apply to manga?

I played the demo of this game during Next Fest. It had stunning visuals, but the gameplay didn't really grab me.

I can't really say whether the new one is better or worse than the old, but I think it's probably worth watching for a Spice and Wolf fan. My impression is that the execution was pretty good; most of my hangups have to do with fundamental writing choices that would probably be in both versions of the show. It's not like re-makes are always bad; just look at Fullmetal Alchemist!

I watched a few shows:

• Elusive Samurai - This has been my favorite so far. The animation and general art direction has been incredible, and the characters have been fun.
• Shikanokonokonokokoshitantan - It was fine. I dunno, past the first episode or two I didn't feel like the jokes always landed.
• Spice and Wolf - It was good, but not quite as excellent as I'd heard. Lawrence can be kind of an idiot sometimes, and wow is Holo an asshole.
• Konosuba S3 - If you liked the first two seasons of Konosuba, this is more of that at about the same level of quality. The jokes land really well when they're not about sexual harassment. Want to guess what lots of the jokes are about though?
