Bodacious Spacefaring Schoolgirls 3
I've given it three episodes to deliver on its promises and thus far I've gotten everything but. While not a terrible show per se, it has been really quite uneventful and all it's got to show for itself is the promise that at some point in the future it just might start heading somewhere. I might jump back in if it does but for the time being I'm out.
Rinne no Lagrange 3
This, on the other hand, has yet to miss a beat. Madoka is a blast of a main character and the show is all the better because of her. Still, while I'm curious about the darker elements being introduced I hope they don't get too much in the way of the lighthearted mood they've established seeing as I've really come to like it.
How is this supposed to sell cars, again?
Aquarion Evol 4

I have to agree, this show has had a distinct lack of space pirating, bodacious or otherwise, so far. I am going to stick with it because I'm hopeful that now
they're actually in a ship in space
more interesting than solar sails not unfolding properly that is
The story is very different. Apollo has a completely different personality, Reika becomes the tertiary protagonist (
Sirius is dead before the events of the OVA, and Reika is the reincarnation of Scorpius, a new character who betrayed Apollonius and Celiane
Shanzhai Story 3
Harem harem harem talking talking talking tsun tsun tsun dere dere dere
PLOT!!
Sounds about right.
Lapin Freefall 1
This show is pretty much exactly how it is described, and exactly what I want from it so far. It's surprising I waited this long to check it out. Here's hoping anime's inability to properly depict age-appropriate behavior in young children won't get in the way of my enjoyment (I appreciate the 'her speech is stunted' excuse.)

"This show was pretty cute, I'd give it a 73 on the :cajun scale"

Wow, so many parodies and references in this episode. Probably many more which went over my head.
Here's a topic on another forum which does point out / explain some of them.
(And so I hit 100 posts in this thread, go me.)

So glad niconico picked up symphogear...but their videoplayer is awful, how can I, in the United States, not view videos that are only available in the United States...what a waste of 25 cents.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
It is so horrible...
Let's just state it loud and clear so people can see: Niconico to Stream High School DxD, Senki Zesshou Symphogear, Milky Holmes 2. No date is set for the latter two.
If you're keeping score, this also reduced the list of non-simulcasts to:
Kill Me Baby
Amagami SS+
Aquarion Evol
Daily Lives of High School Boys
Thermae Romae
and still nothing announced for BRS yet.

Weird because Aya Hisakawa has been extremely prolific since.

Fun fun episode with some Yuno action and something's up with Akise,
The new OP is fine although I can't say the same thing with ED... =/
Fun fun episode with some Yuno action and something's up with Akise,
he seemed alright(smiling perhaps?) with the fact that both their diaries were taken and also I hope there's a reason why Yukki and Yuno's diaries were kept safe except for a rematch of love, I mean they are in a deathmatch afterall. Minene <3333

They still kept Faylan for a song, nice choice, though havent heard it yet.
Maybe that's why I dislike Aquarion, I take mecha too seriously.. Nahh!
You will understand a bit more on the second episode, just know that even for fans the anime makes little sense. As for the art I think Getter looks the best with a modern approach. Man Getter is so good, I hope they make a new Getter anime soon.

Thanks, thats Faylan alright, have yet to dislike any of her songs.
Daily Lives of High School Boys (ep1-2)
Great show. The literary girl segments had me rolling. It of course has the distinct Gintama flair but now is rooted in normal settings. The DQ on the way home was also damn funny. Some segments kind of drag unfortunately and I'm not sure how often you can repeat. But so far, I'm entertained.
High School DxD (ep1-3)
Damnit, why am I watching this. Well, unfortunately the manga fills in gaps missing from the anime and vice-versa. So I'm sort of absorbing the story from both. My only question is how can those breasts bounce so much when they are wearing bras? I will like I'm being hypnotized.

Why is every face on this show so damn punchable? I mean look at her, that retarded looking moeblob chipmunk face is just begging to have a few fists thrust into it.

Has no streaming site like Crunchyroll picked up this show? I'd like to check it out.
I think you have anger issue if your first thought is to punch people in the face. You need to watch a moé show to calm down. May I suggest K-On.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to obliterate the K-On girls from the face of the planet.
I genuinely thought that K-ON was supposed to be a show with anthropomorphic chipmunks after seeing this picture.
I was upset to find out it wasn't
How come you're missing your avatar? Also, why is that picture you posted just a picture of a background? Maybe it's a window or a prison?

Sadly and surprisingly, Daily Lives is one of the few shows this season that's not being streamed.
It's not time for the Hosodapocalypse yet, and you can't hate on Onee-chan and Imouto-chan.

Which is weird to me because the show seems very approachable.

It's funny how you talk about it like it's a pretty common genre.
Also, it isn't really that yuri.
I think it depends how interwoven the fingers are.

Yeah, but like, he just a reflection of the human spirit, or something.
Well I haven't seen Kannagi and everyone on Sora no Woto is just as punchable sooo... give me all your hate!
I cant hate you. You are a happy little blue....thing.
Kannagi.
Will forever go down in history as that show where the author said that she may not be a virgin and the otaku's ran riot... er... whatever angry otaku's do.

While the fight sequences in this show are exceptionally good they are fairly infrequent. I'm more interested in the overall story and most importantly the exceptional character work.

Space pirates is the least yuri, but megane girl is basically the protagonist's magical girlfriend. The other two are pretty damn (faux) yuri... and BRS seems to be super yuri. I'm just saying, before this season, it was just Simoun. This season, we have 4 of these kinds of shows.
That's the closest that non-porn anime gets to sex. Remember most of these shows don't even show kissing!

What about Aoi Hana? And Blue Drop?
It's a hedgehog!

I was writing Wikipedia articles about Simoun a couple threads ago. It will be interesting to see what you think of it and what its :cajun rating will be.
I could just punch you in the face.
