Kill la Kill 21

What the fuck at this start.

Mako once again showing that she's the fucking best.

What the fuck at this end.

So fucking good. These last 3 episodes (!!!) are gonna rock my socks off, I can already taste it.

Kill la Kill 22

LET'S DO IT. FUCK NUI UP. FUCKING DO IT.

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I love seeing Nui so rattled and getting absolutely wrecked.
I'll have to wait to see he finally bite it but it will be so glorious.

Oh my god, the
club captains from the first episodes
are back? Fuck yeah.

Ryuuko is really the worst character. Fuck, talk about a cliche'd ultimatum.

OH MY FUCKING GOD. NO WAY. NO FUCKING WAY. THEY ACTUALLY DID IT.
FIGHT CLUB MAKO IS BACK.
BASED TRIGGER.

HERE WE FUCKING GO! THE FINAL BATTLE! NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE HAVING COME THIS FAR!

Pupipo! 11

This frog's seiyuu is fucking awesome.

I can't wait to find out just exactly what Po is.

Pupipo! 12

Az is basically is best character in this show. She makes fun of ghost kings and doesn't afraid of anything.

Pupipo! 13

Again: Az = best character far and away.

Pupa 9

Whoever does the voice for 'onii-chan' deserves a fucking award of some kind. Those screams of pain are hard to listen too; they really feel like he's getting sliced apart, god damn.

Pupa 10

God this show is so bizarre and so fucking gory.

AAGHHHH THE PONIES EVERYWHERE WHYYYYYYY



You should go back and watch the second half of SAO in preparation for the new season. That way even if you hate everything about it at least you'll be able to justify your hate and I can stop looking down on you for hating on it without ever watching it. And you'll get plenty of adorable Yui out of it either way. You know it makes sense.

Sorry but I cant. I just cant do it. Yui is cute I will give you that.

I feel at home... still.

So with Black Lagoon starting next week on Toonami, I wonder what the under/over is on number of bleeps in the episode...

Take this video and put bleeps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKwaPSkjXp0

Yikes, don't search for Non Non Biyori fanart on deviantART, especially if you have mature content visible.

There is probably Hidamari Sketch hentai out there and horrible people who made it.

Princess Tutu 13

Fate was defied, through the power of the dance of the Forever Alone to convey the feeling of penetration through interpretive dance. And so, Rue is destined to eat crow for the rest of her existence, or at least in my head canon, and Fakir no longer has anyone, unless he too attempts to condone bestiality to love a Duck, also part of my head canon.

Those gears have cracks yo. Fuck you Salad Dressimeyer.

Well, I'm not exactly sure where things will go from here. We have the plot wrapped up, but I guess we're going into Slice of Life with suffering? Also fuck those two friends.

The first 13 episodes of Tutu are great stuff.

They're also little more than extended setup in the grand scheme of things :p

Wizard Barristers - Episode 10


Considering this episode was once against powered by "super" Korean studios Hanjin and Jiwoo, it was actually pretty exciting visually. I mean, it was pretty ugly at times, and faces were pretty off model, but the action at the start was done pretty well and the major plot exposition for the rest of the episode was well directed. There aren't any real surprises on this show, but it definitely invokes all the feelings you would expect from the sort of show it is. Bad guys being BAD. Corruption being CORRUPT. Sinister plans feeling SINISTER. And everything feels like it's leading up to a big action packed climax. Yum. Just don't try to find much logic and realism to any of the storytelling. Lolol.

Noragami - Episode 11


I love this show. This original anime arc might not be super ambitious, but it sure is delivering on the themes the series built on. It kinda feels like a sort of side story which could exist in the manga, exploring some of the stuff in Yato's past and dynamics of his relationship with Hiyori which has already been implied throughout the series. It's not groundbreaking, and yes it does feel a bit forced, but it also totally works for me. It feels like a good way to end the anime at a point like this, with cool action, a strong adversary, and the stakes being the friendships we've seen built up throughout the series. Did I mention I love sword fights? Because I love sword fights! :D
 
Nisekoi episode 10

As a firm member of Team Onodera, can I just say...

God fucking damnit.



You're only just watching After Story now? Oh boy, aren't you in for a hell of a ride.

I've always wanted to ask man, are you a fellow Aggie?

edit: also glad to see the pony disease has been cured.
 
Ojamajo Doremi Dokkann - Episode 25-31

Pao Pao! Our mid season upgrade + OP change is here! On the whole these episodes were pretty good, not as good as the last bunch (nothing beats out Episode 24 so far).

Pao is well a cute elephant that's a bit like Dumbo really (in that he can fly), I'm indifferent on him at the moment but we'll see how he pans out I suppose. It also
makes money by pooping. Dela testing the poop with a pair of gloves and a magical multimeter was great.

Also the DoremixKotake shipping is increasing ever higher now. Only a matter of time now before he finally tells her how he feels about her considering that he's flubbed it up on several occasions now and Doremi's starting to tolerate him more.

Episode 29 was pretty weird, who was that mysterious kid who sounds just like Athrun Zala? What mission was he doing and why couldn't he be seen by Doremi and the rest? Very suspicious.
I bet he doesn't appear in the rest of the series.

Also everyone's becoming ill at the same time, the Queen, Yuki and Aiko's Dad all taken out at the same time by summer colds. This must mean that the Queen has given them all a cold or one of those two are secretly the Queen.
Aiko's Dad as the Queen sounds terrifying.

Oh, here's a gif of Pao in action. Think of it as my way of trying to stem the pain of the last few pages of odd MLP fanart.

Clannad After Story 4-5

I don't know what happened between this and the original Clannad, but the visuals have really stepped up in quality. Even the direction too, this actually feels like a proper anime instead of an animated VN.

As for episode 5, just what's going on?
Feels like I stepped into a different random episode halfway in when the anime shifted to Misae's backstory. Then there are these voices Okazaki is hearing. Really weird stuff are happening.

I got an idea about the episode, but the more abstract comments just flew by my head. But to be fair they were very vague. Also the artstyle was old school.

You're missing out as its one of the better plot driven shows this season. The last four episodes have been back to back gamechangers completely working well to show that a good story can be intricately interwoven with great mechanical action and superb music to deliver a fun, emotional, and wholly immersive anime.

Sounds like a big change from the episode where everybody was brooding over people getting shot.

It depends on what means is good.
It's incredibly dumb. But in its dumb it somehow manages to be entertaining.

I mean, I embraced the dumb, but the mechanical action was really bad. That's why I stopped.
 
Tonari no Seki-kun 11

Lol this one was one of the better reaction episodes imho. And, as silly as it is to say this as an engineer I have a problem over how he was making the bear do the climbing motions with a single piece of string he was pulling.


Noragami 11

I swear that
amnesia
storylines are one of my top 5 most hated ones. It's an easy to add cheap drama. It's fine when it's a short story, but when it's a big one it just seems.... ugh.

I still love the show and yeah, I'll finish it as I still love the characters and the action. I feel that with this end of episode I'll feel empty though. Like the property has a lot of potential but the anime didn't even scratch the surface. A lot of people watching might jump into the manga, but it's relatively new so not much material is out there.

The solicitations aren't up on Amazon yet but by the looks of things Slam Dunk anime is getting the bluray treatment. 5 boxes 16 000 yen each, first one in July, new box every two months. Don't take it as a 100% confirmation, but it's near certain I'd say.

Full disclosure: I haven't seen the anime yet, I've only read the manga and I loved it, is the anime as good?
 
I assume by Aggie you mean ADF, No I'm not. I flirted with the idea a couple of years ago but nothing ever came of it.

Nah I meant if we went to the same uni, but apparently we didn't. I ask since that saying is big here, should've assumed it was big everywhere with the maroon color.

I think this is the point I drop the show. I'm just not interested anymore.
 
War in the Pocket

:)

You've started well! You could watch the original series if you want some of the backstory to some of the events of War in the Pocket. Or you could go for one of the AU series like G Gundam and Turn A Gundam (go for those two as they are the best that the AU have to offer). If you want to see the Kampfer being awesome again watch Gundam Build Fighters as it is one of the main Gunpla used in the series.

I might watch the original just to get a sense of background for the franchise, though i've heard it doesn't always hold up that well these days.

Ohho no no, Maroon means something completely different in Australia.

Slam dunk is one of the least good sports series. Kurobas thankfully solves every issue Slam Dunk has and more.

It's fine really. If you're worried about the quality of the animation the movie trilogy does a good job condensing the series and bumps the quality a bit. Although there's the possibility of a remake series (Gundam The Origin) being announced this week so wait and see on that one.

Cure Lovely just shat on Cure Sword


100 days? What the fuck? That much time hasn't even lapsed since the show started.

Not much for me to say here, Hime wanted surprise party, Megumi is too nosy. Seiji treated like shit as a result. Yuuko made an offhand appearance, since apparently that's all she's good for until she becomes Honey.

I think though... part of the episode rubs me the wrong way. Hime talks about how Megumi is always bailing her out, and it also happens in the battle. I'd probably dismiss this remark if it wasn't for the fact that I disregarded how Megumi's mother acted, only to be proven wrong. I think here, when Megumi says she needs Hime to be strong, it doesn't sound kind. Rather, it sounds like a condescending remark. That new special was pretty cool though.

Oresky (Yellow dude) and Iona/Fortune next week!
 
From the New World 12

This show now makes so much more sense. Glad the studio realized that their show was all over the place and made this episode. Now the show is a lot more compelling. And now with what is going on at the end there it's gonna be exciting to see what happens next.
