Machiko to Hatchin ep2
Just what I needed a nice breath of fresh air , something really unique that isn’t about highschool kids doing animu stuff.
-superb pacing, excellent production value and a nice soundtrack
Machiko to Hatchin ep3
It’s like someone in japan watched one of my favourite movies “City of god” before making this, the town looks like Rio de Janeiro.
What style, her wardrobe must be huge.

She's basically a hobo; she's probably stealing all those clothes from wherever she goes.
I never would have expected you to dig City of God. Brofist, my bro.
Yeah that felt like they ran out of ideas of what to fill the last 2 minutes of the episode with.
Under these circumstances I should get self conscious that I'm spelling genesis wrong, but screw it I spelt it wrong 21 times before might as well go the whole way.

Well put. It's always nice when the show executes on the more serious plots.Enough with the talk on terrible shows like Eva (why would any sane person marathon that show?), it's real talk time.
Sailor Moon 35
Wow. That was some Serious Business, I like the fun, wacky antics that Sailor Moon provides, the kind that makes me feel like a 12 year old girl but it was really awesome to see the show take itself seriously from the start to the end of this episode. There was a TON going on in this episode, maybe more so than any other episode up to this point.
The second opening to the show finally makes total sense now, it was certainly a bit odd when they first debuted it a while back.Serenity has some ridiculous powers, too bad she doesnt really have full control of them yet.
Gotta say I feel bad for Rei, there was a brief moment where she realized that her dream ofhusbando Mamoru is now completely dead. How could she possibly compete against DESTINY, with Mamoru and Usagi. Or is it Endymion and Serentiy. Whatever.
Queen Beryl might honestly be the worst queen ever. When you are already on the losing end of battles it really makes no god damn senseAt least that scene provided one of the moreto decide to kill one of your stronger soldiers just because youre salty, especially when said warrior is lovers with another one of your strongest soldiers.Truly fabulous stuff.romantic deaths I can recall seeing in an anime in a long time
The show suddenly gave me a headache, like I was watching Noein all over again.It certainly drove home the point everybody other than Ami is an idiot.All that talk about 2D / 3D makes my head hurt unless were talking about waifus.
And speaking of other shows I felt like I was watching Fate/Zero episode 1-2 all over again. That was some crazy info dump Luna provided all over my screen. I think I got the gist of it but that was a ton of information at once to digest.
The highlight of the episode was definitely the firehawk12 moment. Where Rei decides toslap some sense into Usagi and then proceed to chew her out with all kinds of name calling and insults.
Then there was Kunzite. He might have been mad. The way heBut of course he cant be too much of a boss,soloed all the other girls with basically no effort was boss.Serenity decides its time for some untz untz untz, and busts out the grooviest light show ever with her silver crystal pogo stick.
But of course the one big mystery from this episode is just exactly what happenedThere is only one way to find out of course.to poor old Tuxedo Mask? Is he dead? Is he being molested by an old raggedy queen? Has he turned to the darkside?
As a mexican I don't really care one way or another. I think that about covers it?

Evangelion episode 20 spoilers:
While the animation was indeed very cheap I think it put up across the idea that Misato is an awful parental figure very well.

I was just stating a fact! The power of collage and re-used saved Evangelion.

Persona 4: The Animation - 13://Being a magical detective girl may be hazardous to your health
Awesome. An episode containing pretty much entirely anime-original content, though it seems to be only part 1 of a mostly S.Links-centric story, this part told from Nanako's perspective. I mean, from Magical Detective Loveline's perspective! "I'll fill you full of holes!"
Most of the episode is a series of vignettes which will be presumably explained in the next episode. A few highlights include: an awesome cameo from Naoto encouraging our young magical detective girl to continue with her case when she feels it can't be solved, a hilarious sequence where Yu is leaving in full military gear with a case used for "Explosive Fishing", and a pretty great little sequence with a slightly hammered Dojima.
This episode is the first part of 2-part arc concerning only S.Link material. It will probably be full speed ahead to the story's end after this.
Oh, right, a new OP. It's going to take some getting used to, as the first OP was so memorable and enjoyable. The ED is the fictional OP for Magical Detective Loveline.

I'd say about 70% of the time the animation is really quite good. 10% of the time they use long shots so that they don't have to do as much facial animation and 20% of the time they use stills/blocking and other devices to get around doing any animation.
Of course sometimes it's weird and creative. For instance, when Araragi is talking to a girl on the phone we don't the girl talking but when she speaks the leaves on this tree move like they're caught in the wind.

I'm not sure, 12? Isn't Yoko supposed to be 14? GAINAX, keeping it classy.

She's supposed to be the same age as Simon, so... 14 or something?
No, wait, Yoko is 14.

This disease is seen in many forms of Asian media. The subject always dies shortly after coughing up blood. Usually he/she has a final monologue first before expiring!
Wow, I had no idea! I figured her and Kamina were 16/17.

Yes it will. It's not really as slow as something like Shiki either, I imagine you'll have no trouble keeping up.
14 there, but something like 16 in Earth-years. Or something.

Steins;Gate end
Tearing up so much right now. What a great ending. I was actually expecting
This was an amazing show. What started out as a silly minor time travel theory show ended up as an intense, dramatic and heartwarming sci-fi thriller. Okabe went from an amusing troll to one of the most sympathetic anime characters in recent memory. The rest of the cast is also very likable, each having their own vices and troubles that make them quite sympathetic as well. The way
was really something I loved. No character felt undeveloped with the possible exception of Daru, but even he got some good development. I suppose
feels a bit incomplete, but I'm honestly cool with that.
Any complaints I have are completely overshadowed by how masterfully well done this was. The directing, story, art, animation; it was all great. I really did not expect to like it so much, but man am I glad I picked it back up after watching the first episode on release and then shelving it with the intention to drop. Now that would've been a major mistake.
Gotta gather my thoughts before and if I decide to do a big write-up, but this is definitely going to affect my 2011 list.

Okabe to sacrifice himself completely so his past self could be happy with Makise after certain events happened, but I'm glad that didn't happen since it would be too damn sad.

Yeah :/. I actually felt a bit uncomfortable at some of the Nia scenes
They show her boobs in the second movie.

Psy.
Congroo.
She easily had the best ending song besides Chihaya, too! She definitely made a run at Top Idol.

I thought these were absolutely hilarious. I would be much more of a Type-Moon fan if it was all comedy instead of the serious business they usually are.

Clearly that's why people say the movies are worth watching.
Those clouds are going to waste, someone tell this man to make a solatorobo movie, if he wants he can change everyone to cats.
Am not sure if it's going to be any good but am sure it will have some damn nice clouds.
