Onii-sama 16

I came. I saw. I came.

Onii-sama you are like Batman with super powers, nobody can stop you. Like why even try. Seriously this is all the gary stu enjoyment I need out of life. Coincidentally the only anime I need to watch today, the rest I'll marathon tomorrow.


edit: from what I can see it looks like Aldnoah.Zero is redeemed with episode 3 that's good. Looking forward to that tomorrow.

Tsun again after all that character development. Basically they start back at square one...... again.

I thought of it more like a friendly jab from her. But then again, it's been a while.
Ah, I would love to talk about the endings of romances I actually liked, but that isn't possible without a spoiler marathon.

SAOII 03

Backstory for Sinon. It looks like she could be an interesting character.

 

[mankoto]

Fate/Illya 2
Throwing the Illya directly into the flames without any experience is kinda dangerous. Thankfully she figured out how to fight back, but you'd think Run would help out a bit more instead of playing cheerleader.

 

[Firemind]

She's like a

Spoiler

bitch

to everyone. She's horrible. Kitamora even says as much.

She's basically an ice queen who wears a friendly mask but is underhanded and mean to everyone. Issues...

So?

Like human beings in general are completely honest to other human beings, especially ones you just met. You make yourself seem more amazing than you truly are. Perfectly normal behaviour.

Aldnoah Zero - 03

Welp. 3 episode rule works. It had everything in it to make me re-evaluate this show. I've now got better hopes for it and way everything was explained and what happened to the villain at the end. Gonna follow this one all the way through.

Praise be to Onii-sama 16

Someone managed to lay a finger on my onii-sama. Real time that battle was probably all of 5 minutes.

I wonder if Aldnoah will become anything more than "Super High School Tactical Geniuses"

It's anime so...

 

[Hellsing321]

Pretty close!

Bungie needs better hair styles. And to give you sliders for features. There was only so much to work with

Sure.

But most people don't act friendly just to turn around and cause problems for you or try to stab you in the back. That is Ami. And if someone did or does that (in anime or IRL) then they would be considered as someone with some mental issues. Hence Ami has some serious mental issues. But than again all the characters in Toradora have issues.

Ami is a bipolar crazy girl
Taiga is quick to violence (

Aldnoah Zero 3

aight that was pretty awesome. Thinking the first three eps should probably be taken as a whole if someone is getting into this given that particular resolution. Characters get enough time to breathe this way too.

I hope not.

Fuck Sawano man, these english miley cyrus wannabe music ruining shit for me.

Wow. Now I want to know how worse it is in context.

Aldnoah 3 spoilers

I'm actually pretty curious to see the blowback from this episode on the Martian side.

Spoiler

If the Count believes Slaine, which I doubt as Slaine has no proof(unless Slaine was taking a video earlier), then I guess we're in full civil war mode.

If he doesn't, then Slaine will probably be locked up, but I guess the orbital bombardment will probably clear things up, again leading to full civil war.

Either way, we know Slaine is the pilot of the purple mech due to the merch material so I guess he stays on the Martian side a bit longer.

Spoiler

I don't think Slaine is going to return to the Martians immediately. He now knows there was a false flag operation planned by some members on Mars, but he doesn't know who's in on it and who isn't. Returning and reporting it would be suicide. Plus, now that he has killed the only Martian who knows the princess is alive, he's going to have to keep that information to himself until he knows who to trust. I think he's going to try and join up with Inaho's team instead.

I don't think he's piloting the purple mech either. The visual only showed it in the hanger behind him, which is exactly what happened - he's the pilot for the carrier of the mech, which was piloted by Trillram, and now it's destroyed and Trillram is dead. I'm pretty sure that's the end of it. No reason why we'll see it again.

I hope not.

It's not bad, they keep it interesting enough but I'm surprised that it has been so... predictable so far I guess. I hate to use that word even though I used it when talking about the first episode, but I keep asking myself "Are they really going to the 'brilliant high school soldiers while the real military sucks' route?" I keep expecting it to pull a fast one but they haven't. Maybe I'm being too pessimistic or I have bad expectations.

 

[SliceSabre]

Oh lord I'm trapped in a alternate dimension!

 

[AquaWateria]

SAO Phantom Bullet 3

That was a good episode but that's not saying much and we got to know more about Shinon. Feel bad for her on having panic attacks when she sees guns. I gotta say when Shinon has more screen time compared to Kirito it's so much better. At least next episode GGO is getting started.

 

[PshycoNinja]

Sword Art Online II 3

This guy is supposed to be the MC but based on the last two episodes it's probably Shinon now.

She seems to have quite the past. Pretty dark actually. To bad she will succumb to The Lord and Savior Kirito-kun. Little fanservicey when Shinon

Spoiler

strips to nothing but a button up shirt

for a few minutes there. I like her. She's alright.

Then we return to Kirito who appears to still have everyone vying for his D. No wonder he makes a

. Geez. What is with this kid that every woman who looks at him wants him. Is it main character syndrome? It must be the D because apparently everyone who's ever seen it wants it badly.

 

[Jex]

Sword Art Online II 3

I really wish they handled Sinon's gun phobia better. In retrospect, it makes some sense but it's introduced in such a hamfisted comedic matter initially that's its hard to take seriously. Then when it actually is explored, it's handled even more clumsily. Of course this is what I get for having any sort of expectation from SAO. Fool me once...

You had expectations? Are you a sucker?

Lord Kirito The Animation 03

It is now fact this series is better the less Kirito is on screen. That said I did enjoy this episode but the parts where Sinon's freaking out about her gun phobia just seem really...I dunno off? I mean I don't have PTSD or any kind of phobia that crippling but her reactions just didn't feel right to me. It doesn't matter though lord Kirito will soon come into her life and wipe away her mental wounds!

 

[PshycoNinja]

Yeah for a dude who looks like a little kid he sure has game.

I don't get the point of expanding the harem when, for all intents and purposes, he's with Asuna.

These girls just want the least available guy...

 

[Narag]

I think that answer is pretty obvious given I came back for the sequel.

obv they're going to make the military competent themselves. what a twist, eh?

Well yeah he's with Asuna, it's just to make him look awesome. That's why he has a harem.

To be fair, he had a full night of planning. Also different mechs probably have different weaknesses. I would be surprised if the other mechs didn't use the Aldnoah's power in different ways, like swords or whips.

I wouldn't be surprised if they reverse engineered antimatter shields from its wreck for the CG robots. Though at that point the war may as well be over - billions vs however many millions have managed to reproduce from the original 300k on Mars. The Terrans could just shieldbash everything to death. Nerf shields.

They seemingly did have different powers, this one for example didn't even have ranged fire power. Easy boss!

As a fan of logic I liked this episode.

I'm interested to see where they take it. Despite my complaints I do still come back to watch it every week and I want to know what happens next.

But didn't they make a big point of the Earth military planning for the invasion for years? I feel like I'm nitpicking at this point since I'm very sure I've looked over this for other shows with no real issues.

The part with (ep 3 end spoilers)

I think her reaction was fine but the way they portrayed it was bad. Just a little subtler and it would have been much better.
