I've got no clue as to why none of the channels up here in Canada dubbed the various Anne of Green Gables anime series. If there ever was a show that could transcend barriers that ginger from Prince Edward Island would be one of them...

It would sit right at home on the CBC. Dub it in Canada and it would easily fill as Can-Con material.

That Smoky Thrill sequence was the sort of thing that interested me in this show to begin with. It's too bad they had to waste the rest of the episode on showing us how incompetent Producer-san is.
 
Gintama 240

The entire planetarium sequence was incredible. So many moments that flat out cross the line that it still makes my jaw drop.

They really milked that One Piece joke for like a minute straight. Would love to see the actual shichibukai dating some Gintama girls.

Majikoi 6:

The Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon episode. Only with mushrooms.

None of that matters though. Norio Wakamoto shows up in this episode. Girls licking mushroom shaped candies covered in condensed milk can't compete with that.

This was about as creepy fanservice anime an episode can get. Not even sure how this aired on TV.
Kanokon stuff seemed more perverse .

I'm late, but Ben-to 12 was fucking glorious. Best show of 2011 - sorry Ikuhara. It even out-fabulous'd Pingdrum in the end. What a ride. If this show doesn't get a second season, anime most certainly is beyond salvation.

Why are you focusing on the slut elf when there's Kugiloli for everyone to enjoy?
To be fair, it's not like anybody's fucking in the majority of romances adapted. Hell, they aren't even kissing. The actual acknowledgment of feelings has always been seen as this silly finish line. Ah my goddess isn't the only one with the issue.
And this is why Kare Kano (at least the manga) is awesome.
Science in animu certainly has some interesting priorities...
 
The Idolmaster 8

When did the show become like this?

Figures that it would take Makoto and Azusa for us to get a thoroughly enjoyable episode.

Indeed. If only other shows could gloriously run out of budget and have to have the final battle occur off-screen.

It depends on what kind of story is trying to be told. Tenchi Muyo has the potential for romanctic relationships, and uses that setup as a framing device for much of its humor, but the show really isn't about that, just to name an example. Also, the type of writing needed for a story about a potential romance is quite different from writing actual relationship drama, and it's very difficult to transition from the former to the latter in the same story. Not that it can't be done, but I can see why many just don't bother when "happily ever after" works just as well.

Not that we as an audience couldn't stand to use more material regarding actual relationship drama.

That was obviously planned all along, and it made perfect sense. The actually important fight was the one right before, and that one was there - and awesome.

CCS Movie 2: The Sealed Card

Wow, this was much better than I expected. Other than the ending feeling a tad bit rushed I really enjoyed this a great deal more than the first one. Now it's over ;_;

I'll never understand it myself. Nature's natural funbags are wonderful in virutally all shapes and sizes. They can be drawn TOO big at times though, some anime do push it a bit. But otherwise, bring on the busts!

I just finished watching Dragonaut. The staff really loved drawing Garnett's boobs (in addition to the weird CGI fetish that Gonzo usually has). I really wish it had a better director and possibly a different lead artist, the plot itself was serviceable and the characters were likable (
poor Akira and Makina suffer the usual fate that happy lesbian couples get
).

Ben-to 12

Pretty fun finale after some not so exciting episodes.
So Orthros lost that fight right?
Of course. There were six half price bentos, and they had ramen and some other shit. And considering even Oshiroi got a bento and Sato got the honor badge, it's obvious that he won the whole thing and Orthros got knocked out quickly. But I actually like that they didn't show it and Sato wouldn't explain what happened when asked. We know who won and we know who lost, and everything else is left to the viewer's imagination.

Danny Choo with a voice actress from Yuru Yuri... and guess what manga she's been reading lately?

I can't escape this show... even in my infotainment.

:/ Maybe someone should tell me where the dance sequences are and I can skip the boring parts.

Episode 9 is still very good.

10 is silly but it wasn't very enjoyable, at least in my opinion.

Stuff after that is just serious drama junk, which imas just fails at, I think . . . I think 18 (or whichever episode the Ritsuko ep was) got good reviews. I skipped to 23, myself.

I asked in irc if there was a kuudere course, but now that I think about it, I can probably just go to Applebee's for that.

Potatoes, eat them to bring out your inner sailor senshi!

Makoto has always been my favorite characters in the show,(I have a thing for tomboy types) so a Jupiter focused episode is very welcome. I think

I am still devastated by her thorough denial of Motoki! He loves turtles, has a steady job, is a hopeless romantic, is just the right amount of dim-witted, and is in touch with his emotions. He is the whole package! Besides, it's not like she has a ton of people to love and care for her (foreveralone).

At least there was a Pimpzite cliffhanger!

Now go watch Horizon if you haven't already.
