Somehow, I missed the K-ON!! train completely. How the hell did that happen?
Well I guess I can always wait for the inevitable season 2 BR's.

were in the movie

Also, Yamada Naoko is on the record as saying she's not interested in doing non-HS K-On. Not that it will matter if KyoAni decides to do it, but maybe they'll respect her wishes.

K-ON represents everything that is good about moe, assuming you can wrap your mind around the fact that moe can be good. Those of you who can, should watch K-ON.

You can literally see them losing budget as the show goes on.

Kinda strange too, considering the sales have been plenty decent. The animation was always suspect since the first episode though, maybe they're just conserving budget for the final few episodes.

Obviously I have very little trouble wrapping my mind around this fact.

Well then what the hell are you waiting for??

Azunyan's been waiting for you all this time ; ;

Ooh, Nagi Yanagi's performing the ending theme for the first Jormungand season. Also they confirmed that it'll be a complete adaptation of the entire manga, so I guess that sounds promising.

What no. K-on!! wasted too much episodes about their slice of life instead of concentrating on their concerts and the band.

I don't mind slice of life adventures in this particular series.
The overabundance of azu-nyan has me a bit concerned because I'm not a fan of that character.

A big ol' fleet is attacking the Vox's because...the Vox's are dangerous, especially when the pilots become emotionally unstable. Hmm, I wonder if attacking the pilots hometown would make them emotionally unstable?
At this point the only explanation I see that makes sense is that Billy Hoolio is deliberately trying to cause that. We still haven't learned why he suddenly made an enemy of Muginami right after she told him she has pilot-control of a Vox he supposedly wants to destroy.

Also, when we flash to the trio defending the city, Arry is still in a maid outfit - this really helps to damage the dramatic weight of the scene.
While a healthy human brain rejects that sort of input, some people have been observed to actually accept this mixture of serious + silly/fetish/meme, due to possessing a rare brain region dubbed the meta-observational extrapyramidal lobe, which extracts meta-enjoyment from the ass-shot camera angle/torn clothes/BL service/running-gag clown outfit/whatever, while their normal brain regions simultaneously take the rest of the scene completely seriously. The MOE lobe's connection to the involuntary motor system is thought to be responsible for the irrational purchasing decisions common in people who suffer from this condition.

Kurisimasu Tiem!

The girls in this show are all scary. Cute, but scary.

Not much happens here, aside from various girls having character issues and Ringo being awesome as usual.
Hidenori is a pretty damned effective goalie.
Cue more girls fighting.

Team Ritsu!!
With her hair down

Ritsu's fine too.

Every K-ON girl's fine, really. I don't see why we can't love them equally. My only real gripe is that they spend far too much time drinking tea and becoming adorably fat. Where did all the ambition for Budokan go?

Yui x Azu-nyan forever.

They even room together in London!

Noooooooooo! I don't want spoilers!

Is the movie good?

from what i remember she doesn't do much as a character in the first season other than get harassed by the group into wearing cat ears for some reason

Fine, be that way, but Azu-nyan's not going to be happy.

Makes me sad that it's going to be over. Will there be another saviour in the post-K-ON moe landscape?


eh, who am i kidding. of course there will.

Considering the 4koma is continuing through university there might be a chance.....but which otaku wants university girls?

there's also a HS 4koma based on Azusa/Ui/Jun/new girls, from what i've read it's much more popular amongst the fanbase
 
Is Aquarion Evol. any good?

I think its pretty fun and perhaps amazing. Character cast is all around really likable, music is pretty on point, and there is no lack of great character interaction. The highlight beyond the cool main character and co is definitely the epic mech fights and their variety of abilities. Perhaps check it out, its one that ought not be missed.

Didn't know the mods hated Infinite Stratos that much, but I am glad to be back. The only show I am still watching is Chihayafuru. Still great!

Also, today is my birthday

What got you banned?

IS is...interesting to say the least. I liked it. mostly because of Japan, China, and France.

Chihayafuru is also pretty great. Glad people are following that one.

I really don't know. I never thought my comment to be an offensive one (and never intended to be one) maybe its because I said something wrong about feminsists.

Tetsuro is the best character not named Remon.

Yep, Tetsuro is all kinds of awesome! ^_^

Irresponsible Captain Tylor 7

Some really great moments in this episode, like
Yuriko winning the arm-wrestling match when Tylor cheers for Andressen and damn if she doesn't make some funny faces in the process.
One could say that Tylor is just lucky, but luck is the most important skill in battle, after all!

By far one of my favorite episodes of this show. I just love watching everyone's reaction to
Tylor appearing in dress whites, ready to go down with the ship.
That whole sequence was absolutely amazing! XD

Irresponsible Captain Tylor 8

I almost feel bad for Harumi as she tries, tries and tries to
kill tylor, without success.
Though Tylor's luck and smooth game wins her over in the end (how can anyone resist this man, after all?).
Yamamoto changing his tune as soon as Tylor mentions
making him acting captain during the contest was only topped by the faces he made as he gets called Acting Captain Yamamoto or when he addresses himself as such.

What can he say? Tylor's just a sexy beast like that. XD

Its gonna start taking a left turn into and over the :firehawk cliff very soon.

;_; I miss K-On.

As do I. I can't wait for the movie to be licensed for release here.

Dude. We are nakama! :3

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was saying you despise feminists that got you banned, not Infinite Stratos.

I was joking about Infinite Stratos being the cause anyway. Well lesson learned, stay away from those sensitive threads.
hmmm, is minami-ke worth checking out?

I really likes the first seaosn. Had the same vibe as Toradora! Didn't like the 2nd season as much but was good as well. The third was just a turd.

I'm not sure if I can comprehend this statement. I'll try reading it again.

Nope, still can't. It must have been a mistake on your part, cajun. It's okay, everyone makes mistakes occasionally.

from what i remember she doesn't do much as a character in the first season other than get harassed by the group into wearing cat ears for some reason

Yeah, Azunyan appears pretty late in S1. Fortunately they more than make up for this in S2.

Considering the 4koma is continuing through university there might be a chance.....but which otaku wants university girls?

Nothing wrong with college girls.
They'll still be drawn exactly the same, so who cares?

there's also a HS 4koma based on Azusa/Ui/Jun/new girls, from what i've read it's much more popular amongst the fanbase

Nobody cares about the other girls, that's why. The one which still has Azunyan will naturally be more popular than the one without.

IS is...interesting to say the least. I liked it. mostly because of Japan, China, and France.

China is pretty bad, but I'm glad there's someone besides me who appreciated Japan. France is Goddess-tier, of course, but we all know that.
 
Rinne no Lagrange 11
tumblr_m14djz9Xd71qzcilxo1_500.png


Really this was yet again another highlight episode. Lagrange works best when it has limited focus on the girls outside of combat and more focus on the cool designs by Nissan with high climax explosive action. Although it didnt really make much feasible sense, sending all those ovids against the three Vox's was pretty epic and cool, I loved it. I think my favorite part was actually seeing
Izo, Kirius, Array defend the town from that glorious and almighty blast, I knew they would make the right decision in the end, now if they can join in on the fighting too that would be cool. Definitely the best characters in this anime

Actually something else didnt make much sense
why in the world was everyone huddled in the middle of an open field at the school, its like they were setting themselves up to be targettd, they ought to have evacuated to the subspace shield shelters, which was actually another highlight of the episode, those shields defending Pharos

The only flaw of the anime has really been the overwhelming focus of the outside of combat stuff for the mains, an unappealing weakinumi, and I guess episodes with questionable content in the service department. Probably one of the few times where side characters are a way more cool than the mains.

Gintama 251 - When Sleeping Under a Kotatsu, Make Sure You Don't Burn Your Balls

Great Kotatsu fun. Keep an eye on the back grounds, plenty of easter eggs this episode. I liked how they blatantly said doing a Joi past arc would be too much effort.


Gintama - Episode 252 preview.

???????????????????

What are you up to Sunrise? How do you show a preview for the next manga arc with only one episode left? They are trolling us, I don't know how, but they are trolling us.
