Is it manga or animated?

There will probably be a second season at some point, I think. It's sort of harem-lite, but surprisingly more focused on story than shipping the characters. I have almost no use for shipping in any form of media, so you can trust me when I say it isn't over the top.

More importantly, there's a new Working anime: WWW Working!!.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's a continuation of the Working!! we all know and love. Maybe it's something of a prequel, or maybe a stand-alone in the same universe?
Saw the announcement. It seems like it's from the same universe, but that's about it.

I can second that Yona of the Dawn recommendation, gave it a 9 it seems, which puts it right up there with the best stuff I've watched (or at least what has struck my chords).

Kannazuki no Miko - Destiny of the Shrine Maiden
Episode 12: Priestess of the Godless Month
0:00 – Straight to the title screen. No recap. Here we go…
0:21 – Yeah, she’s dead. Opening theme brought in at the appropriate point in time. It actually worked. Holy balls, they actually pulled off a dramatic cutaway and I’m liking the opening. What is going on [+5]
1:54 – Hot damn this porridge is tasty, I’m so pumped for this.
2:18 – The illusion fades, and Himeko is left holding LLI’s warm corpse in the control pod of the evil mecha, which is screaming. Doing well so far…
2:23 – Himeko goes to server her own aorta, but LLI stops her. So she wasn’t dead after all. Boo! [-5]
2:36 – This is fine.
2:49 – LLI is somehow able to divulge exposition with a gaping hole in her thorax. [-3]
3:55 – LLI did her evil because of her grief at having had to sacrifice Himeko in a previous life. And her resentment caused the failure of the Shinto rituals all this time. And her fall from grace was a gambit to get Himeko to kill her. Terrible. [-10]
5:47 – Oh, Himeko is quizzing LLI on whether she is a Lesbian Love Interest. And she confirms in the sappiest way possible. She’s taking her time with this bleeding to death business.
6:30 – The camera pans slowly across Himeko’s cleavage, which is exposed for our pleasure. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 57
6:50 – SHIPPING FORECAST: YURI. It’s over boys, LLI won the ship. And after everything this anime has put me through, I simply resent that. I can’t abide a character as disgusting as LLI receiving affection from a person she raped. [-15]
7:03 – Oh, and there’s another pan across Himeko’s chest. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 58
7:09 – And some groping is happening. I don’t know who initiated it. Himeko’s heart is pounding “just like with HLI”. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 59
7:22 – This is horrible [-10]
7:52 – Some lesbianism is about to happen and I’m really creeped out by it
8:25 – Why
8:53 – Where is my f***ing whisky? I have some trauma I need to blot out.
10:01 – How is LLI able to cry? She’s been stabbed through the chest with a sword, and she should have bled out in moments. Yet here she is, sobbing.
10:29 – The magic of the mecha has made them naked. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 59
10:50 – Meanwhile HLI is being tormented by RealBro in his crystal lizard prison. He’s the one I really feel sorry for at this point. He’s made what he thought was the sacrifice of his own life, and now his girlfriend has gone away to frolic with her rapist. He’s gonna need a lot of therapy when this show is done.
11:40 – Has RealBro just made a Hell-Face turn? He freed HLI from crystal dragon prison. Cool. [+10]
12:55 – I don’t understand what’s going on now
13:18 – I think HLI just saved the world.
14:00 – I think Himeko and LLI are dead.
15:09 – This is the most boring ending episode imaginable. Tie up the loose ends, don’t try to force us to believe it’s a happy ever after.
15:51 – Himeko is arguing with LLI about why she can’t be with her when she loves her so much. But it’s obvious. She’s dead.
16:40 – lol Himeko wants to fight God for the right to hang onto her feelings
17:32 – LLI won’t stay dead, it seems. How delightful.
18:46 – Anything can happen on the moon.
19:13 – Oh look, it’s shitty book-ends with sidekick-chan. And Himeko is falling over and exposing her panties. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 60
19:40 – Oh oh, it’s the awkward meeting between Himeko and HLI. They know what happened. She chose the ship she wanted to board. Don’t pretend that you can jump aboard his now after you burned him.
19:55 – Guess what happens next.
20:05 – Oh, she turns him down. Well that’s that.
20:23 – Himeko, you’re a disgrace. You toyed with him for so long and then you discarded him like garbage.
21:48 – You didn’t think you’d get away with a round number, did you? Sidekick-chan gets to show off her cleavage too! Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 61
21:56 – Oh and there’s time for some Himeko cleavage, too. Ecchi-Sketchy counter: 62
22:07 – Yep, LLI is erased from the photo album. She’s gone. She’s an ex-person. Himeko, you complete fool.
22:20 – You know exactly why you’re crying, Himeko. You destroyed your shot at happiness with someone you have real feelings for, in order to hold onto the daydream of a person who no longer exists. I’m disgusted. F*** you, Himeko. Your self-destruction cheapens the agony that people who have buried loved ones experience. When people are dead, they are dead. They don’t come back. And if we refuse to move on and sabotage all our other relationships, we are miserable. [-15]
23:05 – Oh, and it’s time for alternate ending credits. What a treat.
23:30 – Shibuya crosswalk, some time into the future. The chance encounter. Of course. [-15]
Verdict: If you’d shown me this anime during the week after a close friend of mine had died, I’d have jumped in front of a train.
Final Score: -58

Closing remarks:
Oh my word. That was, without a doubt, one of the most painful anime experiences I've ever sat though. I can't quite justify giving it a 1/10 score on MAL, because technically it wasn't awful, just very dated. But essentially, the points that stuck with me are the following:
A complete disregard for the humanity of its characters.
Gratuitous nudity and sleaze, for the sake of titillation.
No sense of crisis at any point, slow and predictable plot. The "good" romance, and I use that adjective in a relative sense, was trumped by the bad one.
A disgusting attitude towards death, suicide and grief.
2/10

What kind of video editing software do you need to make an abridged anime series? And do we have any Belgians? >_>
Also... Popey once said that Darjeeling from Girls und Panzer is the anime girl version of him. Somebody decided that was not sufficient. So, I want to know...
Which of you degenerates is responsible for this atrocity against moe?

Kantai Collection
Episode 1: Hello Sailor Commander!
Cast of Characters:
Haruna the Self-Referential Longbowgirls 1 & 2 (Akagi & Kaga, bearing rather a resemblance to Himeko and LLI in outfit) Fu-boring (Fubuki) Penguinchan Girl whose name I’ll forget (Mutsuki) Annoying Noise with the Annoying Face (Yuudachi) GIANT TEDDY Bad Touch (Sendai) Goody-two-propellors (Jintsuu) The only one with any personality (Naka) Bunnygirl Thong
and starring
Rear Admiral of the Harem
Verdict: Gosh, it really does take itself seriously. About six characters got introduced in the first five minutes and the whole pacing was just all over the place. The plot is simply “bad guys gonna bad, girls who possess the souls of warships gonna warship.” At least the production values are good. There was so much cheap titillation in that episode. It's just everywhere. Even KnM wasn't so shameless! I was particularly annoyed that Fu-boring got better at aquaplaning when she came under fire.
The reason why every main character has a stupid gimmick is just so you remember them. Since none of them have any personality, you just wouldn't otherwise.
