Senki Zessho Symphogear 1

Looks like the studio wants to capitalize on the popularity of Madoka with another dark magical girl series. Seems like this one will place just as much emphasis on legit fighting as despair. Definitely has potential. That
transformation
at the end makes me think I am going to like this a lot. Hibiki is also a cool main.

Yeah I wasn't on board until the bit at the end, hopefully that's a sign of interesting stuff to come.
 
I hate the little fucker with his pathetic moping and winying really did my ears in, kaimina was the only decenet character in ttgl, the others aren't even characters.

I was rooting for those random fodders they were fighting to kill them (except canon button pressing guy his cool).

But Simon only acted like that for like two episodes.
 
Kill Me Baby 1

Classy. Oh so classy. At least probably. I laughed and chuckled at a few things, though I was just slightly disappointed there weren't any gun porn jokes. I can wait for Upotte! for that fix if I need though. OP and ED songs are pretty fun too. Good start to the season from my position. Let's see where it goes...
 
Steins;gate 21

So there's one thing I'm a bit unclear about.
Wasn't the only reason Okabe kept undoing D-mails to get back the IBN 5100? Shouldn't erasing themselves from SERN's database prevent Mayuri from dying? So why does he have to erase more D-mails to get back to the world line where Makise dies? Or is it a fate thing?

It's a
fate thing. Written specifically to drive the point home probably.
 
Pokemon Best Wishes 63: Gym match was pretty interesting. At least Ash used the right pokemon and not Pikachu. Dat Ending music >.<

It sounds like they are rocketing through the game's plot. Does this give more credit to the theory that Gray will be a sequel and not a remastering of Black and White?
 
Jexhius is dangerous because while most here have the excuse of kinda being dragged into this weird and whacky lifestyle Jexhius jumped headfirst into it.

Yeah i gradually weaned myself on anime and slowly built my collection over time into the majestic empire that it is today.
 
Sailor Moon 32

This series is seriously triggering my inner male
fujoshi
. I honestly had no idea that this series was going to have a
gay couple in it. Zoisite getting all jealous of Queen Beryl is pretty sweet.

Umino and Naru
are seriously adorable. Good for him. He deserved better than Usagi anyway. Still has to melt that ice away though.

Tuxedo Mask
Umino is a million times cooler than the real thing. Man that fight was messed up, that youma’s abilities is some hax.

Usagi really is useless.

Favorite two parts of this episode, the blink and you’ll miss it Street Fighter shot and the trip back to
Dreamland.
Very neat how they casually reused the same setting all the way back from 20 episodes ago.

An okay episode but seemed like way too much time spent on something not really important to the main plot and central characters. Last episode did the same thing but it was done incredibly well, this time not so much.

That or we'll reach filler hell or spend days in some random mountain or maybe they'll actually develop on whatever postgame there was.

To give credit though, it isn't like you can really stall between the fourth and fifth gym. All that stands between them is a route, a bridge and a cold place.
 
Hunter x Hunter (2011) 2:
Better pacing than the first episode. I like how the current version is handling the early chapters of the manga, and I feel like I'm getting used to the art now. It hasn't really blown me away yet, but I'll be waiting to see how they handle a lot of stuff later on in the series.
 
The Knight in the Area 1

Those CG balls...Like looking into hell itself. Other than that an ok first episode. It at least hooked me enough to watch the next episode with that ending monologue.
 
Yeah no-one's talking about you!
Worse though. Cokefiends don't start with the desire to be a cokefiend.

Pretty much.
I was hopeless long ago.
Forever alone at the top of my local nerd heirarchy.
Anime fangirls with cat ears following me around at conventions and shit.
I guess thats not too horrible though.
 
At least you get to post to GAF while working. I wouldn't ever complain about a job that includes being able to surf Teh Intarwebz at work.

Im on my phone.
The internet at work is locked up tight.
Sometimes they even block their own websites.
Im mainly posting during lulls of which this 5 minute one has been the longest.
It is not gonna last.
 
fkn vuvzuelas >:(

I couldn't help but laugh at how skillful their star striker was against Brazilians.
Football categories aside, Japan's current National Team is actually quite good. They've been called the Barcelona of Asia (hyperbole included) due to their intricate passing play that's more grounded in comparison to Anglo-Saxon countries. Plus, many of their players are currently playing abroad, most notable the German Bundesliga. While Japan's conquest of the World Cup may still be decades away, they no longer are a pushover when it comes to the beautiful game.

Brazil, on the other hand, has been shite lately. They got an early exit of Copa América, self-imploded against an honestly not that good Netherlands in the World Cup, and have been trashed in friendlies during the past year against some of the other football world powers. Part of it has to do with the team going through a rejuvenation phase -they are putting almost all their hopes on Neymar, an eighteen year-old Santos' player who is quite skillful but lacks any kind of leadership qualities at the moment. Ironically, they look the strongest at the back line, which is composed of several veterans who play at the top clubs in Europe. Their style of play has been very European for the past few years because of that: they are a rigid team who rely heavily on speed instead of precision passing or attacking flamboyancy like the Brazils of yore.

tl;dr NIPPON BANZAI GO SAMURAI BLUE
until you face Mexico

That is horrible though. If they're following you around there isn't any fun in it!

Also, everything you described sounds like a nightmare to me.
Anime fangirls
conventions
wearing cat-ears

If my nightmares had not already been so bad this week this shit would terrify the fuck out of me.
 
I think Japan is called Zaku Japan or something this year. This is to differentiate from the World Cup winning female Nadeshiko Japan.

When they win, they'll turn into Sazabi Japan.
They should make an animu about Nadeshiko Japan. Those ladies are pure concentrated GAR.

Those things are not as bad as you might think. Depends on your perspectives.
 
The Knight in the Area

It was ok enough to sell me on the next episode but I think I would prefer reading the manga for this.

the mask player is so obvious and cliche i bet its seven the girl even know it makes no sense cause she shouldn't know about his left leg, its her.


-I think that commentator at the start was the one from hajime no ippo, clearly there troll me

I want more hajime no ippo :(
 
PGSM Ep.41

Get a room you two!

Makoto has the right Idea, show your man that you transform in to a Magical Heroine that dresses in a skimpy outfit, he will go crazy for it.

Well sure, I'm sure there's some people who like sex with horses or, shudders, eating asparagus.

But to me I hate fans. I barely consider myself a fan of anything. Fans are crazy. The fact that these fans in particular happen to be girls does not outweigh the fact they're fans.

Conventions, anime conventions in particular are scary to me because they're a meeting place for said fans.

And cat ears, well cat ears are just kinda sad. It's true.

Not that I think breaking a fangirl would be the most involved game around but to then have them follow you around like an infatuated puppy? Now there's truly nothing good left.

Im also an american football fan. Compared to nfl fans anime fans are tame.
Its not uncommon for chargers fans to get shanked when they go to oakland for example.
 
PGSM Ep.40

I feel conflicted, is Minako > Rei or Rei > Minako

I CAN'T DECIDE!



See darkside, filler episodes are awsome!

Lies!

My current Sailor rankings:

Rei > Makoto > Ami > > > > > Usagi.

Usagi sux.

Still haven't met the 5th one yet.

Japan losing always makes me smile.

...

You monster.

Still think Japan dropped the ball by not making an anime with the women's World Cup team. They could have yuri'd it up too if they needed a way to drum up some interest.
