Space Battleship Yamato 1

This is a product of its time, and not in a good way. It's corny, the editing is awkward, the battle scenes lack any sort of tension or energy, and the tone was off due to out-of-place attempts at humor and a problematic soundtrack. Beyond laying out the basic premise of the imminent extinction of humanity, it doesn't too much to get me invested in the story. On the plus side, there's some nice ship animation, the design of the main female character is attractive, and the sunken Yamato is an iconic image:

Kare Kano Episode 21

I thought this was a pretty good episode for the most part.

From the chase scene:

To the encounters between Tonami and Tsubaki:

To the mutual undertstanding between Tonami and Yukino:

And poor Arima feels all left out:

I don't think the show feels like it's gone down in quality all that much. I'm still enjoying it (so far) but yeah I do feel like there's... something missing that the earlier episodes had.

ALSO YUKINO WHY ARE YOU SO ADORABLE

 

[Crash Station]

Spoiler

nono ;_;

I want another Diebuster. Or at least another mech show with a character like Nono. Madoka is close, but she's still eh.

Oranges and apples.

Oranges and apples.

Apples are quite clearly better than Oranges

 

[trejo]

But oranges have vitamin C and are good for you or some shit.

But you cannot eat the peel! Apples have the advantage there.

Oranges have no appeal to wolf goddesses

THERE IS NO GUNBUSTER SEQUEL

Yes there is, and it's far better than the original.

KARE KANO STOPPED AFTER EPISODE 18...ISH

Why would you ignore episode 19? It's fucking brilliant.

Yes there is, and it's far better than the original.

Why

 

[Dead]

Gunbuster has awkward 80s anime story tropes

Diebuster has moeshit and awful yukari fukui VA garbage trash of the ass

Both have their faults, but a work without Yukari Fukui will always win out over something with her

See I could live with this.

Diebuster has moeshit

Not quite sure you understand what moé is but sure, opinions and whatever.

and awful yukari fukui VA garbage trash of the ass

Both have their faults, but a work without Yukari Fukui will always win out over something with her

FUCK YOU

 

[Dead]

she sucks bro

 

[Hitokage]

Gunbuster is an ok show overall with some neat application of relativity.

The Buster, The... falls short of it.

 

[Dead]

Sometimes when I want to get really angry I imagine what one of my favorite shows would be like if Yukari Fukui voiced the lead. Like, maybe Escaflowne.

Well, I don't actually do that, but I just did, and it sorta made me convulse violently...

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Dooppel! is a pretty neat, well-animated short featuring a fight between a girl and her, uh, doppel(ganger). Check it out.

Welp, you're in Bodacious Space Pirates world now, so at least try to make the best of it and be a good character; not a cheap plot device.

Inu x Boku 07:

Not as much hnnnng as prior episodes, but a few hnnnng moments here and there kept me going through. Karuta continues to be hnnngtastic, and Ririchiyo continues to be tsundere extraordinaire with regards to Shoushi. Artwork remains cute and lovely.

The ED was really nice this time though. ^_^

Oh yes, that ending! :firehawk

The ending sequence at the festival was one of my favorite moments in the entire show, both seasons.

Spoiler

Using a lovely metaphor of Azu-nyan being dragged by Yui as they rush to see the fireworks, only to be separated by the crowd really drove home visually how she's soon going to be separated from her senpais against her will. Made me get a little pre-tear at the corner of my eye. ;_; Poor poor Azu-nyan.

Now, I think that the Jaya arc, the

Shandia

flashbacks and the ending of Skypiea are up to par with the rest of the series, but everything else often borders on boring. Of course, I'm not saying that there's no valid reason to think that Skypiea is good or even great, I just happen to generally prefer the important arcs to the exploration arcs.

Spoiler

For the record, I rank OP's arcs as follows:

Water 7 > Arabasta > Arlong Park > Enies Lobby > Marineford > Sabaody Archipelago > Thriller Bark > Drum Kingdom > Punk Hazard (so far) > Impel Down > Skypiea > other East Blue arcs > everything between the end of Marineford and beginning of Fishman Island > Little Garden > Amazon Lily > Fishman Island > Davy Back Fight
