Well we saw that Sasayama was a dick. Better than nothing lol
Honestly, I expected Sasayama to be something more... I don't know... less dickish. How Kogami described him and what I thought of him was completely different from what I got. Pretty disappointing actually.

They really should have kept the original OP if they were gonna do such a piss-poor job with the new one in Psycho-Pass. :/
Seriously. What a way for return shows to fucking suck it.
No it didn't. Yes they do.
Psycho Pass - 12
OP sucked and they DTL-ised the ED, great start.
Then the whole episode was going into the backstory of a character that's been sidelined up until now, I'm hoping this puts Yayoi's backstory into the background from now on, but given Psycho Pass' record so far, we'll probably get an arc involving her and layering even more backstory with the upcoming criminal.
It's a shame this show can't blend giving charcters backstory while moving things along, that's the weakest aspect of the show that's bringing it down.

You still need to watch Medaka Box Abnormal 12, what with it being Ogata's best role ever and all.
You got something against nakamas?

Hm, this was a weird episode. Didn't stand out in the funny department but at the same time wasn't completely boring. Stuff happened, there were some jokes I almost laughed but didn't. Feels really middle of the road here.

Who the fuck is Yayoi again?
Also featuring: deep, thought-provoking dialogue like "You know how wrong the current society is" and "But our music will definitely become a major force!" Am I watching AKB0048 by mistake?

Shut up you hipstrejo.
Yayoi is the lesbian.

It kinda works as a DQ1 parody. Plus it's only 4 minutes long, and of these 4 minutes, 1 is the ED. It passes!
Though, hopefully there will be less screaming in the next episodes.
Psycho-Pass 12#
Meh.
I was expecting some bad-ass Shinya/Sasayama buddy cops storyline, instead i got the backstory of the most useless character of the bunch. Meh. Hopefully the next episode will be better! Maybe. Maybe not.

It was a rhetorical question.
I dunno man, it turns into a square at the end.
True but she doesn't do that sparkly eye crap, and it's the guy's doing the chasing.
Just thought of another one.

Naruto Shippuden - Power (pt 6, end) - ep 295
Well I think that ultimately the previous episodes actually had the better fights, always one for human or human v humanoid (four tailed fox clone is humanoid, imo) are way more interesting that human v giants and what not. However the episode did have the awesome and epic Rasenshurikan (one of the ten best jutsus) and even more, though it fit in awkward with canon
.
The other developments were nice
I hope they plan to do more of these type of random specials again as this was really a blast and pretty memorable and at times really visually stunning.
Cant wait to get back to canon next week

the near nine tailed chakra mode part when he was all powering up shirt all open and etc was phenomenal especially his skill in it. They even had the best song on the ost playing making it feel all awesome and such. Its just hard to describe but its those key moments that make me really enjoy seeing Naruto be all cool and like the ultimate payoff for every arc
The other developments were nice
the bro sis marriage proposal in the crisis and then the kids stuff, Leo etc, and their Naruto onii-chan

Zetsuen no Tempest 13
So... I didn't watch episodes 10-12 cuz I heard it was shit, it was really slow and nothing really happened so I can just wiki-read it. I didn't even bother to wiki-read that. If anything, episode 13 is a testament to how shitty episodes 10-12 are. I mean... they summarized what happened in those episodes in less than 10 minutes in an actual coherent manner. Meh. So... yeah. This episode sort of sucked.
However, not all is bad. The whole focus on Mahiro was nice and it was a very good way to do it considering what happens at the end. The music is still phenomenal and while the infodump is... well... infodumpy, it was nice to know what happened after all of that. The next episode looks to be promising and interesting but that's about it. Also, ponytail, swordless Samon >>>>>>>>> Cour 1 Samon.
Lack of OP and shitty ED is well.... shit.

Maybe that's the point. Though, all I could see after hearing her name is Tsubaki. LOLOLOLOL

They blew the OP budget on deep storytelling.

They blew the ED budget on hookers.
It's not hard to summarize that they stood in a forest, talking about tree logic for 3 episodes. (Oh snap I did it in one sentence)

This show is going to SO FUCKING AWESOME.
Hmmm. You present rather compelling evidence...
Put it in my veins. Something to look forward to when THIS work night is over.
Oh, you have NO idea. You have to at least watch that episode. Its #8. Its amazing.
Yeah no shit. since when does food like that look bad? Maybe because I've been raised in a state that emphasizes seafood.
Oh wow. Thats some soul crushing moe right there. I shall watch this too.
Shaft is no worse than any other studio. At least they use style to hide production deficiencies. they do Cute very well. They always have interesting subject matter and bring characters to life well. Shaft is JOY.
I'm not saying it's hard. I'm just saying that episode 13 affirms it.

Subete no aware
Doesn't she chase after the one dude at the end? I can't remember. lol
And that's Wallflower, right? I never did watch that.
Half of animegaf is on 4chan... you'll never find the source.
Wounded Man 3
Aw hell yeah, surprisingly good ep after the rapefest shit of the previous two. There's some distilled manime therein.
Got some violence,
some manilness,
and overelaborate 80s hair to round it out.

- Premise is decent as the Wounded Man and his shipwright wench make it back to the USA and establish themselves as a football star and a super model to attract the attention of GPX, the porn company he's out to have his revenge against.
- Lots of violence
- Zero rapes
- Wounded Man gets revenge on one girl that worked for GPX by doing something to her that makes her uncontrollaby aroused when not around him so she can't have him killed.
- Badass knifefight where the
shipwright wench sacrifices herself to save the Wounded Man. She's glad because she finally be in that place in his heart where the previous two dead girls that saved him are.
- Kickass soundtrack
- Women are surprisingly hot, clothed or otherwise, due to an art upgrade.
- Awesome cliffhanger ending
- Wounded Man looks to be out for even more coldblooded revenge!
I am the 50%.

Smile PreCure 04
cure happy is also so much better with normal hair than whatever she usually has on.
I also didn't mention this but out of all the transformations so far I really love this frame the most. Love her design! Also for the ship watch, let it be known I maintain my position of Cure Happy x Cure Sunny but now I am accepting of a love triangle scenario.
After having watched 4/5 introduction episodes I have to say I've begun to tire of this already. It feels forced and bland trying get all the introductions out of the way but not doing it in an interesting way at all. I just can't help comparing it to HeartCatch and how organic it was in the same thing. Another piece of nag is in the transformation sequences. They seem to have the cure decor to transform. It's not in the compact so where did it come from, it literally doesn't exist till it goes in the compact. Shit makes no sense. They also seem to have everything figured out from the start like their names and catchphrases. In HeartCatch they did all this much better. All nagging aside, let's talk about the actual episode. Cure March is super OP
A perfect screenshot to show my feelings about PreCure mascots. Except Cope-sama he's cool
she can damage an Akambo without going precure!

Well Happy Meal toys.
Those really grew on me over time. Second one was pretty cute. Loved this moment especially:

This episode has basically defined Mood Whiplash.
At least they got most of the DRAMA out of the way. Or you know, we'll get even more DRAMA. I guess now that it is there, they are free to shove it into this show whenever they run out of comedy, need some mid-season suspense or some sort of ending to this show. Oh boy, can't wait for the DRAMA again.
Ok, I would at least give points to the show for the nice art style between the DRAMA and the not-DRAMA parts. The whole transition was nicely done too, at least was pretty cool to see that. They should keep that whole color-coded balance for the rest of the show so I would know when it is DRAMA time and when it is not.

4chan stalkers would explain a lot as to why we see stuff made here in other places. Also, view count.
Well to be fair Heartcatch had a smaller cast to deal with, at least at first.
I doubt anything I have said made it to 4chan.
I love a good mood whiplash anime. Something that does a complete 180 from what I expected. A couple of shows have managed to do that lately. Its a great thing.
Wow, never noticed that. On the flip side, we can't say we've never posted something from 4chan.

Tamako Market Episode 1
A lot of different people mentioned they found this first episode boring but personally I really liked this first episode and didn't feel that way at all.(The same went for K-On! and Hyouka).
Thanks to those who took the time to read.
Nice write up. Still haven't watched it but I'm fairly confident I will enjoy it a lot.
I find the general :firehawk nature of KyoAni shows to be very pleasing. Very relaxing and unwinding to watch before bed!
The only dude she chases after is Josephine, the biology puppet. lol
Everyone keeps trying to pair her up with the blond bishie, but he's too bright for her.
And yes it is Wallflower.

Its the usual moe KyoAni with the addition of an amazingly assholish diva bird.
