This Building Looks Like a Drill Bit

(Photo: Essence of Dilmunia)

This will happen to you if the chuck on your drill isn't tight. Your bit will remain stuck in the material you were trying to bore through.

This photo shows the recently completed United Tower, a 50-storey structure on the coast of Bahrain. It will soon house a 5-star hotel, among other businesses, in a wealthy area of that Gulf state. The external structure rests on an octagonal base and creates the impression that it rotates counterclockwise a full 360º.

Engaged to Unidentified is a sweet and funny story about a high school girl who suddenly finds she is engaged to a boy from somewhere out in the mountains.

Description from Crunchyroll.com:

Yonomori Kobeni is a high school student who leads a pretty normal life... and then the day of her 16th birthday arrives. Despite having very little presence, her fiance, Mitsumine Hakuya shows up suddenly along with her sister-in-law, a little girl named Mitsumine Mashiro. Without any prior explanation, they begin their peculiar life together. Kobeni's older sister, Yonomori Benio, who has has a sister complex and is a bit of a pervert is thrown into the mix and things get even weirder. Kobeni's life is no longer normal.

Since you didn't mention these, I'll just throw them out. Mostly from the the recently-ended 2014 Fall season. Lately I seem to be more focused on slice-of-life with cute girls, so keep that in mind with regards to a few of these...

Parayste. By far this is at the #1 spot for me. Everything works well: the art, the music, the story. It's a long series, continuing into the Winter season. Definitely not a cutesy series.

World Trigger. Another long series, and one that seems to have people divided. I'm liking it a lot. Some are complaining that the animation is minimal, but for someone who grew up with Hanna-Barbara cartoons, I never really noticed it until pointed out.

I have to mention Celestial Method, because I liked that one too, and it's getting blasted. Some of the complaints are valid, but overall, if I were liable to import something, this would be it. The only reason I'm not is that I'm 75% into importing something from the summer, and it's just too expensive.

Kokkuri-san walked that fine line between humor and seriousness.

I've picked up KanColle, but the first episode had me underwhelmed. I guess I was hoping for something more akin to Arpeggio. I'll give it a few more episodes, but I'm a bit disappointed because this was my most anticipated.

I've also heard that "Working!" (Wagnaria) is getting a third season "soon", so I caught up on the first two, and I liked it enough to look forward to another season.

There are others, but way too much to talk about in one sitting!
