But mermaid breasts
I'll put those on a list too. Thanks for the recommendations! I really do appreciate it.
Baby Steps 8
Well, that was a quick year to say the least. Not that I particularly mind, since the pacing still feels pretty natural and satisfying regardless, but I do have to wonder - was it this fast in the manga, or is the adaptation playing it super fast and loose with the material?
Nice to see some development between Ei-chan andTakasaki-san Nacchan, too, even if it is still just baby steps (lol). It makes me happy that
, since more Nacchan can only be a good thing - both for Ei-chan and for the show =D

they're in the same class now

After looking up story stuff from F/SN after finishing Fate/Zero it just seems.... kinda bad. I also really don't want any
lol. I don't know if ufotable can make it good.
Saber romance
People hoped for a good story or at least delightfully fucked up one, but I guess it falters there too.People were expecting anything good from the Drakengard series?

Bwahahahahaha did the game mess your mind.....have you played Nier?

Baby Steps - 8
I understand Nat-chan is the female MC and is supposed to be cute and all but every time I see her, she reminds me of a Gray [alien] with blonde hair

The original Drakengard failed in that too. The story was an awful mess of dropped plot points and characters with basically no development.
Honestly, I'm not even sure how Yoko Taro managed to write Nier. It's like if the writer of SAO suddenly wrote Utena. WTF!

Well excuuuuuuuse me princess.
I propose we form the Strike Witches community trust for poor fans of witches in order to fund their witch love!
The world isn't ready yet for a cute-boy-in-a-skirt-getting-teased-by-a-bunch-of-girls series with normal episodes.
Tonari no Seki-kun 21 + Final Thoughts (For Real This Time)
That's a good way to end the series. Seki's been teetering on the edge of being discovered for the whole show, so to have him get super close to it - and to bring back Poptimus Prime and the rest of the Robot Family for one last time - is about as high stakes as one could get for this show. Overall, it was very enjoyable, easy to take in, and a showcase for a slightly more manic side of Kana Hanazawa. Her performance determined a lot of if this series would sink or swim, since Seki was based on the animation, and by and large it succeeded. One of the more interesting short anime out there, and the way it expresses a genuine love for imagination is also worthwhile. It feels like it can go on forever, but all series must end eventually. I can see it making a return in the future if sales are good.

We already have Otoboku for that.

No , just No .everything about THIS garbage and the 3 CDI games should be buried in the nevada desert.
Zelda wouldn't make a good anime.Even if they would nail the characters properly , they would still have to choose a proper way to get the feelign of what a zelda adventure is and that is exploration... and it's the hardest thing to do in an anime.
Seems more likely it would just make more people realize that Berserk isn't that great outside of the art and the classical tragedy prologue, and that it just becomes a weird grimdark rapey D&D fantasy.
Baby Steps Episode 8:
This show needs better montage music. Also, kind of interesting on how much this show focuses on the off court antics of everybody. Certainly gives this show a range and depth that Ace No Diamond often lacks. On the other hand, the slice of life high school stuff isn't particularity compelling either. All and all a rather bland and forgettable epsiode.

Good exploration/adventure anime is a rarity these days!

But Lost Children and Tower of Conviction were just as good as Golden Age.
The arcs in between Tower of Conviction and the boat like Qliphoth and the Trolls are pretty good, although some have varying mileage.
I'd say it's certainly started to falter during the Sea God Arc and not just because of hiatus boat fatigue

Now i think i wouldn't mind a zelda anime if they focus on another character aside from link.
Give me midna , impa for example and i would be intrested of seeing the zelda universe through their eyes.
Heck i would also take the Zelda point of view.
As long as they don't use the tingle POW.
Or maybe a comedy anime based on the gorons ? ( that would be cool too )
I disagree.
Hopefully they'll one day animated the Retribution arc of Berserk so I can get some hot Farnese action.
They should do it through ting...

I like Guts & Friends part of Berserk the most.
The atmosphere really captures what I like about fantasy in general (that is, beautiful landscapes, adventures into the unknown, occasional dark happenings, etc...).
I don't know if I could handle 300+ chapters of Demon's Souls Berserk (I know Berserk influenced DeS, but you get what I mean

Captain Earth 08
So I guess Team Rocket's numbers are expanding now, and yet they will remain just as useless and resort to attacking people on foot with guns and kidnapping people with chloroform despite having giant robots

Attack on Titan Episodes 1-25
Ive been watching this the past week and finally finished it today. I enjoyed it but would have preferred it if
Will probably start reading the manga now.

none of the humans could turn into Titans. If it had just been regular humans with their jetpack thingies overcoming the Titans I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. Although seeing the final battle between Eren and the female Titan inside the city was really fucking cool.

But how else will the government control the children?
You simply witnessed what shonen does to anime. They couldn't have it be a real struggle without "FOOL THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM". It would have been a much better show without post episode 5 imho.

I'm glad people can still come to this conclusion after the huge anime popularity boom. I swear it seems most people watched like the first 6 episodes, stopped then decided they liked it and never continued.
And the anime left off on a pretty good spot to be picking the manga up on. However the current arc is rather dull.
That's fine. I think there's a lot of people who only like the Golden Age arc, mainly because it's the only part to be animated (twice).
However I've always felt that the real Berserk started after the Eclipse, even with things like Zodd and Wyald.

"Hey guys there's giant titans and worlds unexplored out there. There might be like snow titans. Or volcano titans? Shouldn't we be going out there to explore?"
"We could. But this sofa is so comfy. I'm sure something will happen if we stay here long enough"
I might agree with that, I just think it says something very different about the series.

Good to hear about being able to pick up where the anime left off. I do have a question if you've read the manga from the beginning. Is there anything the anime left out or is it pretty much one-to-one with the manga?
I actually would have liked have liked it if
Eren stayed dead when he got eaten. It would have given both Mikasa and Armin a reason for wanting to continue to fight and explore the outside world.
Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara 8
Probably the most fun episode this show has had yet. We have flying robots and gratuitous hot springs and Akane being wonderful and Nanami being adorably neglected and nobody commenting on the fact that Akane apparently has a Souta-kun dakimakura and fun outings to royal kingdoms and adorable chibi modes and princesses and robot assassins and...was there anything this episode didn't have, really?
The new princess character is a lot of fun (and I love how there seems to be an RPG class theme to the princesses' middle names - Knight and now Berserker?!). The assassin scene also had some surprisingly cool action, as well as of course the usual entertaining hijinks.
Good times.

You would probably be fine picking it up right from the anime ending. As is all adaptations, they skip minor things. If that bothers you just reread it. One thing of note is that the anime covers all the flashbacks together in the first 3 episodes while in the manga they are spread out among the first 20 chapters.
I can't think of anything huge that they left out of the anime, though.
Started watching Nisekoi (after catching up with the manga).
At first I was pretty confused as to why Matterhorn was suddendly in the flashbacks.
Then my reaction was more or less this:
Otherwise, it feels like a very straight foward adaptation so far, still getting used to Onodera voice, but enjoying it otherwise, think I'll keep up with it.
At this point
I doubt there will be any kind of resolution until the very of the series (if even then), so until them the best to do is just enjoy the journey.

the key/pendant is only there to tease the expectations of the audience, that particular plot point hasn't mattered since Raku realized that he likes Onodera, and I think the series is pretty self-aware of that.

Do so. It has one of the cutest couples ever, greatest bromance, and funniest hijinks I have read in a manga.
Isshuukan Friends 8
As usual, an episode full of happiness (despite the
) and Saki being amazing. This time there were also more hints than usual of actual romance, which was sweet.
And now it seems we have another new character entering the picture. I wonder what kind of developments he will bring.

I really loved that Zelda cartoon when I was a kid. Shit was the best Nintendo cartoon on.
On that note, dream teams for Nintendo toons!
For example, Zelda Ghibli or Metroid by Tartakovsky.

Think about that Metroid by Tartakovsky, man. No dialogue necessary, just 20 minutes of thick outlined Samus in jagged armor dodge rolling the fuck out of all kinds of horrible demons underground. The Ridley episode could even have her flashback to him killing her parents, but all wordlessly before she adopts dat Tartakovsky frown face and proceeds to blow his fucking head off.
This is the cartoon gaming needs.

I would consider the final anime episode a reasonably large deviation as what actually happens (the manga is far less dramatic), so I would at least reread that part. Also there's a side chapter (I think it's a side chapter) that results in a cool realization later on but it's insignificant as to what actually happens.
