That Someday's Dreamers artwork reminds me of the more recent promotional art from Wandaba Style.
I wonder if its the same artist.

No periods now. Glorious.

At this point I'm not sure anymore if you're talking about the character, or Kaori Ishihara.

I'm talking about Madoka. The singing of the Jersey Club anthem seems to be intentionally awful, obviously. That was kind of the joke I was making there, but nobody seems to have caught on to that.

Suuuuuuure,
save the very people that Alvis has to constantly employ futuristic technology against just to elude.
What could possibly go wrong?

Fafner 05:

Festum design has got to get some variation soon. I'm tired of them fighting what's basically a cross between an Oscar trophy and the Winged Dragon of Ra each episode.

Fafner 06:

I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH THE TERRIBLENESS.
Generally, sacrificing your life is a last resort, not THE FIRST RESORT. Fuck that was dumb. I was already rolling my eyes at what looked like it was going to become a THE ANGEL HAS BREACHED TERMINAL DOGMA! plot, but this was vastly worse. Shouko's line of thinking? "Hey, my progressive knives broke because I was a moron and didn't remember my training until it was too late. Instead of waiting two minutes for Kazuki to arrive, I'll blow up the damned Festum with my own mech because I made a yakusoku to mamoru this place for Kazuki! THIS IS SURELY THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION. Ejection seat? What's that? Oh, too late now." Fuck you and fuck your umbrella of smiles, Shouko.

I can't wait to see what depths of rage I'll be able to experience with future episodes. Nonetheless,
RIP Shouko, if nothing else you introduced me to anemia moe.
 
Fin's wan is severely underrated. I could listen to it for extended periods of time too, though still not nearly as long as MARU.

hey how about fuck you

madoka's voice is one of angels

Another 03:

You know who has the voice of angels? Misaki Mei. Her voice is layered and complex, on the surface it is so gentle and sweet but lurking just beneath is an unmistakable menacing tone. She warms my heart and chills me to the bone at the same time. It's most fun when she's trolling poor Kouichi and she has him eating out of her hand every time they have a conversation. Hawt.

Oh, right. About the episode. One thing really bothered me about how the other students react when Kouichi sees Mei. Megane-kun does it when Kouichi sees Mei on the roof and runs off, he distinctly looks up to the roof and then grimaces. Poor
first-on-the-death-list
meganekko comes out of the classroom at the end, sees Kouichi standing with Mei and panics, and promptly turns around and runs the other way. Both times it's strongly implied by their reactions that they could see Mei. And yet everyone insists that she doesn't exist, and Jersey-bro even calls Kouichi on the roof and tells him to stop messing with things which don't exist, which doesn't make sense because how do they know what is going on unless they can see Mei too? I mean, if they can't see her, all they would see is Kouichi suddenly deciding to run off in a random direction. Which is still fucking wierd, but certainly not panic-inducing behavior on the level his classmates are taking it as. Of course Mei is busy trolling Kouichi by asking him "What if you're the only one who can see me?" just before megenekko comes out.

One overriding theme I've noticed is the tendency for cell phones to cut out in the middle of conversations. At first I thought it was just the classic horror cliche of "getting to the important part of the phone conversation and then it goes dead" but I'm starting to believe there is more to it than that. Mei specifically comments about how she hates cell phones. And for some reason, cell phones tend to always go dead when she is around. I don't think it's coincidental. If we are going with a supernatural explanation for Mei, then maybe cell phones interfere with her existence (which is why she always vanishes when a cell phone rings) and she can interfere with them. Kouichi has several cell phone conversations where it suddenly dies on him during the 3 episodes aired so far, it would be interesting to go back and see exactly when and where they died.

I bought Kannazuki no miko because I liked the music.

I bought because I actually liked it. Though the op was probably the only legitimately good part of the show.

That ridiculous scene that everyone posted.
The flute and mech jacking.
The use of breasts as a mailbox.
The ultimate evil
that was so insignificant that Soma took it out
.
The cup of coffee at the end.

And multitude of other things that make you wonder how their stuff keeps getting adapted into an anime.
 
Recorder to Randsell 4

I can understand the first episode's joke, but this one felt forced. Why does an older looking male holding the hand of a younger female immediately have to be pedo? Why can't they be siblings or something?

I like the teacher.
 
Monster 1

Ugh. Sociopathic abuse of power is one of my buttons, and the ugly(though admirably distinct) faces aren't helping. This isn't going to be a very fun, is it?

If I didn't love Kenma's English VA and GAF didn't gush over this series, I don't think I'd stick with it.
 
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 2 III

Oh my god that was just simply incredible. I didn't stop laughing the whole way through. Pure comedic brilliance. Also, Elly with pigtails is just...l HHHHNGH
 
ninja tits aka Manyuu Hiken-chou 10-12 END

Breast Chi and the Breast Universe. *NSFW*

This show has to be the most perverted and shameless allegory for class warfare I've ever seen. Unless you like your boobs massive and poorly drawn, don't watch this terrible show.

A Black Falcon said:
Awful. (The OVAs are good)

It ditches a lot of the humor of the OVA in favor of way, way too much grossout-style stuff, basically.

If you liked the OVA then that's as good as it gets.

I don't intend to watch this show until it's over and I hopefully find out it isn't super creepy, but I must admit that little girl in these gifs is very adorable. My only problem with her otherwise adorable design is that I can't honestly recall any children that young ever having that much hair on their head. I mean, these gifs are adorable and all, but that's the first thing that comes to mind when I see that.

MARU! :3 Madoka truly is adorable.
 
It's only took me like, 2 years or so, but I've finally finished Gundam ZZ! Overall it was a bit of a weird series. I liked what they were going for when it started, I mean, it didn't work, but I liked they were trying something new.

So, it starts off as a more light hearted comedy, but I guess I just didn't find it all that funny and most of the characters seemed rather annoying. Then about half way in or so it suffers a huge tonal shift, which kinda felt to me like them giving up (I think there were other factors involved as well, mind). The biggest problem with this was that suddenly I'm expected to take Glemy Toto and Mashymre as serious characters? No, sorry.

One thing I did constantly like though was Judau, as Gundam pilots go he was rather refreshing. Also having Haman as the main villain didn't hurt it any (Haman <3) there was even a bit where she piloted and Acguy! (Acguy <3).

For mobile suits, it was quite good, some really goofy ones which I liked and a neat new Mobile Armour, which uh, thinking about I don't think ever returned after the episode they featured in... hm. Though, I wasn't overly fond of Double Zeta itself, probably because I kept wishing Judau would just launch in the damn thing and stopping wasting time.

Anyway, it was kinda meh overall I feel. Thankfully it's nothing but movies and short OVAs before the next big series.
