Zero no Tsukaima F - 3:

It only took them 3 episodes to conclude a story arc that was stretched out over the entire third season. They are really not wasting any time here. As well they shouldn't be, because first off they have to make amends for the previous season and second off this is the final season. Shit got real right away and stayed real for the entire episode, which is something which I don't think has happened even once during the entire previous 3 seasons.

I'm not sure what else they are planning to cover in the remaining 9 episodes but if this pace keeps up I can definitely see the show ending in a similar manner as the (still unfinished) LNs. I'm hoping this is what Noboru Yamaguchi is planning.

At least it had a very solid 5 minutes or so worth of entertainment if you skip past all the recap parts. And everyone knows the Queen is the real winner.

I'm just going to watch the movie on its own, so I'll get back to you on how that goes tomorrow.
They're all standalone stories, although of course the movie gives you the most context and (I believe) adapts the "big" storyline that tied all the Book Girl novels together.
I think I will just watch the movie first too. I also found out that Yen Press is translating the novels so I might read those as well if I like the movie

Your avatar makes me so, so sad ;_;

You should read the manga it's from to make me happy :)
 
Chihayarecap 16: I love the 4-koma segments. This recap episode is like the opposite of Utena's. Instead of trying to integrate the retread into the actual story the comedy segments are inserted between the reused footage. Madhouse is baiting you with the promise of funnies for your patience with watching the same old shit.

I have to admit it works! ...for the most part.

Aim for the Ace 8:
Wait, so there are other male students at the school besides Toudou and Ozaki and the whole school isn't just a tennis court and locker room? I'm shocked. Hiromi pretty much showed every other character up in this episode, and it was awesome. There was also lots of bitches being bitches, and I loved the scene where Otowa got taken down a peg. It was a real punch the air moment. The art direction for this episode was also awesome. There were so many awesome looking scenes, especially those sinister flames in the background during the phone call.

Going to actually try and finish this series this time.

I still like the OP and the ED after all these years, so that's a plus. I do like the style of it and follows the manga pretty well.

I was just browsing through SZS OPs on Youtube the other night. There are so many great ones, but I think this is my favorite.

zeroshiki would know best, since he the biggest Book Girl fan here. But if the movie does cover the entire series, you may want to wait if you're going to read the books. It ends fairly definitively, is all I'll say.

Also, MARU.

Honestly, if it weren't for the inspiring score in the last few minutes before the credits, I would have dumped this show. I don't like any of the characters thus far but if the score used in the first episode is any indication of the OST's quality, then I will watch this show.
 
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1

So this is going to be Daddy Issues: The Show huh.

People look off. Faces in particular look kinda weird.
 
Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector 1

Been wanting to check this out for a while and was expecting fan pandering which I think would be a good thing in this case. The show opening with
Beowulf putting a stake though Ryusei's face and finishing off the SRX
made my day. Also nice to see they ditched the godawful CG mechs from the first series. The ED is so amazingly incongruent with the serious end to the first episode too.

It's an every issue show.
 
Can't wait to see how often Shinji says I CAN'T DO IT or something to that effect. The mech designs are still ridiculously cool though.

You are just going for the trifecta, aren't you? First School Days, now Eva, you're going to finish with Arjuna or what?

Work is pissing me off so much right now I could use a really hefty dose of cute.

We've already given you every MARU! in RnL so far. I think you're going to have to learn to cope a little at this point.

It's a great Disney-esque OST.

Watch anything you like. The movie is more of a summary of the whole series but everything is disconnected anyway.

Alright, thanks guys.

Movie it is. I checked the novels release dates and the last one is in 2014. No way I'm waiting till then.
