Hmn? The Haganai manga's good stuff!
For a moment, as I saw those images on your post, I thought you were actually watching Kanetsugu & Keiji too, apart from all the things you are enduring already!

Yes, for continental Europe replace with T-34s. Kind of depends on where the effects house is based and then what they are going for, you can only get so much out of aq certain chassis. I know that WETA built some Panzer IV replicas from scratch for example.
I wonder now... will they end up using them? Panzer 88 seemed to be in a production hell. Looked so good... :-(

seriously though, DEM BODIES.

Gonna go nuts next time and increase the weights on every exercise.

Free will be the greatest weekly motivational tool that has ever existed.

Keika Lee has come back recently to, by popular petition, talk a little more about her time of internship at Kyoto Animation:

cupkeika: KyoAni & me - "What was their animation production process?"

I love reading stuff like this, thank you! :3

Just pretend they are girls and you'll be fine.
My goggles are not strong enough. I must return to the mountain and train.

Nah, just give me more Gou.
Something redeeming about the show finally. Still don't know if I want to get near the thing though.

Some things just weren't meant to be :(

Hoshi no Umi no Amuri 3 END

Yep, Mamiko Noto and Creepy Dude are evil all right. Their wonderful plan is to kill off all of humanity so that their suffering can end and a new, better world where only Adapters exist can be born. In other words, they took a crash course in Maniacal Supervillainy 101 and passed with flying colours. They also tied their kid up in some kind of restraining sphere thing because she's, you know, not evil, and we can't have anyone not-evilling the place up. I believe their kid is an Adapter, so they're probably doing this for her on some twisted level.

Meanwhile eyepatch-girl continues to be a cowardly little good-for-nothing and lets her hallucinatory evil twin take over her body. Evil twin promptly starts being, you know, evil. Nobody saw that one coming. She traps Amuri in some kind of big flower machine thing that extends her REFLECT powers to the entire doom fortress, conveniently preventing anyone from averting its descent towards apocalypse.

Silly eyepatch-girl, you can't even get the whole transformation thing right. It's supposed to turn you into a magical girl, not a witch. Must try harder in future.

Oh hey, some sudden girl-on-girl kissing action that didn't involve Amuri! Suzu just tried to kiss evil-eyepatch-girl. Went straight through her, of course.

Oh and now evil-eyepatch-girl has trapped Suzu in a big flower machine as well, so now the fortress of doom has her power of dodging things. Just in time to avoid a giant plasma barrier that was standing in between it and Earth. Oh evil-eyepatch-girl, you so evil. Normal-eyepatch-girl, you might want to wake up at some point. That would be helpful.

Oh, but now evil-eyepatch-girl has attached herself to a giant flower machine. So now the fortress can just phase right through anything standing between it and Earth. Sigh. Doom doom doom doomety-doom.

Hey, it's a third version of the totally-not-HANAGASAITAYO-song! Eyepatch-girl's version is about the ocean. Hopefully this is a sign that she is coming to her senses.

And then just when the fortress is about to collide with earth and cause the apocalypse, some more happy song-based magic occurs. Looks like the first ever Adapter is stored in the evil fortress as well, and her power of Harmony is bringing strength to the other girls through their favourite song. And it looks like this is resulting in their powers working on the fortress to make it avoid crashing into Earth.

And now the fortress is repelling itself. It just split clean in half. And one half exploded. I sure hope that wasn't the half the girls were in.

And now the Harmony thing is working its magic on eyepatch-girl too. She just had an epiphany about how she REALLY JUST WANTS FRIENDS. And look! Now she has a proper magical-girl form! Surprise: it's pretty lewd. Basically topless except for a ribbony thing floating flimsily in the air in front of her chest.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand they all just split the Earth clean in half. Welp. It's okay though because apparently the Earth is somehow unharmed by this. So they're all just flying peacefully between walls of magma and stuff.

And now they're out the other side and heading for the space station thing where the evil people are located. Well, Mamiko Noto doesn't seem all that evil after all really. She seems quite relieved that the evil plan failed, to tell the truth.

Did the space station just fire a goddamn GIANT DISCO BALL at them? Sure, okay! Why the hell not! And the girls aren't even giving a shit. They just absorb everything the bad guys can send at them by grooving to the tune of YACCHAOU YO~ YACCHAOU YO~. Basically, music solves everything in this show.

And Mamiko Noto has decided to do a proper heel face turn and rescued the kid from the restraining sphere thing that was sucking all her energy and stuff. Yaaaaaay! Go Mamiko Noto! Meanwhile the Fortress of Doom Groovy Happiness has fused with the bad guys' space station, and the girls are getting in there beating up Creepy Dude and his minions! Fun fun fun. Everything is happy resolution victory times.

Peaceful ending theme get~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey look there's the Gattai Failure Squad.

POSITIVITY AND OPTIMISM! SWIMSUITS! THE END!

So yeah. That was a fun little series. Crazy as all heck, but fun. Would recommend. YACCHAOU YO/10.

I'm not yet convinced it'll reach my levels of "quality" so until then I'll just simply ignore it!

About as expected, but they really blue-balled me with the pool being out of water. That'd have been the only swimming scene that wasn't already on the PV!

But well, the water was great. Kigami was at the top of the KA list, that's not something you see frequently.
The story and characters are pretty simple, not really interesting, but it seems they're going to focus on the swimming a fair bit, which is good.

Also ED was great, lol.

I know I shouldn't. I would rather finish up Aim for the Ace and Strike Witches. 2 more episodes for the later!

Oh nice! I remember you mentioning my name earlier today when you were watching Aim for the Ace. What happened?

Strictly speaking, any shop selling Madoka to anyone under the age of 15 would be committing a crime (it's illagal to supply any 12, 15, 18 or R18 film to anyone younger than the age rating. You also need a special licence to sell R18 stuff).

Whether anyone will bother to procicute will be another question entirely.

Illegal to sell and illegal to watch aren't the same thing at all though.

There's no love triangle at least. :p

Well, Haru and Rin are clearly designed for yaoi shipping, so if I start shipping Haru and Makoto together instead, we can have a love triangle easy!
 
Ojamajo Doremi 28

Another episode where Doremi finds love, but this time she has a "rival" in the name of Tamaki
who failed right off the racket.

Apparently boy crush of the now was like Doremi where he failed at confessing, but his was due to a cursed item. Doremi's fail because she' Doremi, she's not suppose to be happy.

Speaking of which
This time, the dude actually likes Ai because she's athletic. He really does like people rather easily though. Oh well, Ai rejects him anyway because he didn't get her jokes.

Hazuki certainly gets around, she seems to know almost everyone that is in trouble. Maybe it's because she's adorkable.
 
Another K dub video from viz, this time the Sceptor4 side. Easily one of their best dubs, Fushimi sounds perfect (at least for expectations of the voice), and Munakata too. Probably will be one of the first times Ill watch both sub and dub of it once I get the bd.
