It's just so darn catchy. I keep finding myself humming it, and I hope nobody knows what it's from.
Well, I sometimes hum the stuff I find catchy as well, so I can't really blame you...
In other news, Crunchyroll will be streaming the show of spring season,
Chihayafuru 11
Episodes like this one show that sports series can be awesome and exciting to watch, despite the fact that most shows only drag the genre down.
The way they switched perspectives between Chihaya, Taichi, and Nichida during the match was perfect, and they really know how to make karuta look exciting.
Also, dat soundtrack striking again.
And fuck it, guys, Arata's cool. Taichi's cooler, but he's cool too.
It's a really catchy song. I only stop humming it inside my head when I start humming The Everlasting Guilty Crown or Mouretsu Pirates' ED.

Natsume Shi 10
And that ends yet another lacklustre arc that could've been done in one episode. Fortunately the next episode looks like it'll flesh out Natsume's past some more so I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Wait... they already did two seasons of this show?!
5 minute flash episodes, this will be the first full length anime for it.

I forgot that bit of dialogue, it's been months since I've watched the series. There's still so much we don't know about the incubators. They obviously possess incredible power, but it doesn't seem like they know how to use it. However, we do know they are willing to do anything to keep the universe going.

In the first two seasons, did they ever do an episode featuring just his grandmother?
Ano Natsu de Matteru 9
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!
HAHAHA, YEEEEEEES! Kanna finally did something right!
SUCK IT YOU KANNA LOVING FREAKS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES (This will totally end up in tears.)

Ahhh, ok then. Were they worth checking out?
I'm pretty sure they didn't but the first two series had a far greater focus on what Reiko got up to than the last two.

Cowboy Bebop end
Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with the finale. Outside of Spike and Vicious' final battle, there wasn't much that jumped out at me, and even that was too short. 1 or 2 minutes of good fight choreography doesn't make for the best climax.
Anyway, I have a bit more respect for the series, but not much. I still maintain my view that it's a rather overrated show with only 1 amazing episode (the clown one). I think my aversion to episodic stuff might make me a bit biased. I'd probably be more receptive had at least half of the story revolve around the conflict with Spike, Julia and Vicious. However, since it didn't, I really wouldn't say there was enough buildup for that last little arc and the audience is left to extract a lot of Spike's past on their own. What Faye said at the end kind of highlights this problem;
or something like that.
I at least have some idea why it's so popular even if I don't agree with it. The atmosphere is definitely there even if (IMO) the content isn't.

Crunchyroll will be subbing the flash series too leading up to spring, and at 5 minutes each, they're worth a watch.

I also love his attitude. Pretty laid back even in relatively dangerous situations. Seeing the other detectives get worked up while he kept his cool was pretty satisfying.
Also, what is Urasawa's obsession with Germany?

keystone arch collapse coming, but not the slingshot.

Spike's past wasn't the point. It was there to be but a justification for his constant lone-wolfing--which was antagonistic to the whole point of Bebop; Companionship. Samurai Champloo and Bebop explore the exact same theme in that regard, but to different conclusions. I'm on my phone so I can't rant as much as I want on this, but from the mention of champloo you can probably gauge the gist of my stance.

Ano Natsu de Matteru 09:
(brought to you by the Men in Black)
Why isn't it next week yet????
(brought to you by the Men in Black)
Well, the cat's "officially" out of the bag. The crew seems largely unsurprised by this normally earth-shattering revelation about one of their friends. Kaito is perfectly fine with Ichika being an alien (on account of kinda sorta already knowing it, just not remembering), and promises they won't tell.
Ichika starts to tell Kaito that she is the one who mortally injured him, but he interupts her and says she saved him instead. Ichika worries that more people from some agency will come down to Earth now that the Emergency Pod was destroyed the episode prior.
How on Earth did Kanna not realize that Mio knew she was in love with Kaito? She's like, the most obvious girl in the world.
And YES! at the Galaxy Express 999 parody! XD
So Mio tries to push Kanna into making a move on Kaito but run into Tetsuro as well. And what's this? We're FINALLY getting more info on Kanna? About fucking time! As hnnnnnnngtastic as she is, up to this point her entire character could best be summarized as... well as someone else put it, "Ano Natsu de Cockblock".
Ichika continues to avoid Kaito and the others, and Kaito ends up leaving Tetsuro hanging at his place (not a cool way to treat a bro, Kaito). Funnily enough Mio and Kanna also had the same idea as Tetsuro and ended up at Kaito's place while he's out. They start watching the film that Kaito's taken with the camera and Kanna reacts again seeing more footage of Ichika (that she didn't know about), with the two of them clearly enjoying themselves.
Kaito is found in Karuizawa by Remon, who puts Kaito's problems into perspective and explains he's sulking because he's thinking about himself, and not her feelings. He needs to stop focusing on what she won't let him do for her, and what he can do for her instead.
So a rainy day appears, and Kanna runs into Kaito taking some photos of locals (probably for Ichika). Kanna decides it's high time she confront Ichika before she disappears again, and tells her she's in love with Kaito. She's pushing Ichika to just fucking tell him she loves him. It's heart breaking to watch this, but Kanna's already accepted that she's lost. Not because Ichika loves Kaito, because Kaito loves her. It's basically the same kind of thing Tetsuro was trying to do to help Kanna out (in that he's given up on being with Kanna).
;_; ;_; ;_; ;_; ;_; And because he can totally read her like a book, Tetsuro was there, waiting for Kanna. A kind of touching scene as Tetsuro tries to help Kanna, but again as if they're all book readers, Mio is also nearby fretting that she won't have Tetsuro (Tetsu you bum!).
Ichika finally sees what Kaito's been up to, taking photos of places that resemble what Ichika described.
D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!! And Remon got it on film! Fucking perfect! XD

Whether it's the point or not, it just isn't what I was looking for. That's why I wasn't really expecting to change my view on the show; I want it to be something it isn't. I'm happy for it's popularity because it got a lot of people interested in anime, but it's not the kind of space opera story for me.
I'm synesthetic, and I got a full-body orgasm the first time I heard it.
No I am not joking. That's why it's the best.
Also Megumi Nakajima is hnnngghhhhh and her voice career is great, not to mention the timbre.
I don't even want to watch this show anymore ;_______;

It's definitely the best OP of the season. Only one I watch with every episode.
Disappointing, but completely understandable.

They really need to do a Reiko episode at some point.
Also, Ano Natsu 9 is brilliant. This is already the best show of the season and will probably be the best show of the year. Okada-bot really did kill AnoHana, didn't she?

Yep, definitely my favorite show this year. Pleasantly surprised.

yeah I'm actually kinda disappointed there haven't been any Reiko centric episodes
the sooner Kanna admits her feelings the sooner she can get over it. good for her I guess... ;_;
also what if Remon wasn't joking when she said she's from the MIB or an MIB-esque organization?

So, guys, considering the fact that Steins;Gate is the best series ever, how's Chaos;Head?
I honestly think it's totally true. Why did she get so interested in Ichika so suddenly at her first day? And what's with her script?
They could get away with it, but they could just as well head in that direction, haha.

Pshhhhh. There's no freaking way "I'm a jealous, sexually frustrated douche because my mom's strict" Taichi is cooler than "Chihaya orgasms every time I'm close by or mentioned" Arata.

Man, this show is going straight for the drama! So we've got some revelations and answers about the divine puzzle and some other interesting tidbits. At this point I have no idea how this will have a 2nd season 'cause this is looking like it's going to wrap up.

Seriously, especially since I had zero expectations for this show. It might even be a classic romcom anime.
Also, I forgot, but they put in the GOD DAMNED
CLACKS
I'm surprised that they haven't gone there... but they must be saving her for some big event or something.yeah I'm actually kinda disappointed there haven't been any Reiko centric episodes
The thing is that the first half of the love line is more interesting by virtue of the premise. If Ichika was just a normal transfer student, I wonder if they'd be a little closer for me.
This is just the simple truth. Even if the mangaka doesn't care about the romance anymore, he's still the better choice.
Muahahaha.
