The iDOLM@STER 4
It seems I was a pretty good judge of character in the first episode, as my ranking of the characters hasn't really changed much at all yet. Or maybe these character specific episodes aren't really making me like the focus character any more than I already do. I came away liking Takane a little more in this episode rather than Chihaya.
A pretty enjoyable episode. The only thing that would have made this episode better would be if it had Azusa in it.
Takane, you so crazy.

That's not what my experience of watching anime says.
But really Nanami doomed herself with her plan to confess after her audition/test. That's definitely going to be made of fail now.

Wow, I have to say that those stickers look like they came from the promotional department because they don't match the tone or message of the series.
I think it works for the show, and as I said in my post about it, it allows for much better integration of CGI than normal backgrounds.
HeartCatch Precure - 24 ( All links below contain spoilers)
you're so awesome!!
I love how this episode just moments after her reveal went into OTP shipping (spoilers). With shots like these how can you not get on this ship?

It's good for what it is I guess if the other end is stuff like Another. Tsuritama does an excellent job with its blending comparatively, but I still think the low detail backgrounds serve as an inhibitor to the show's potential.
You don't have to see Fate stay night to follow Fate Zero.

oh, dear
Good choice. Easily one of the best, if not the best, anime of 2011 and 2012.
I don't know what wrong in this one
Its look clean and nice, like most of the background in Tsuritama.
I only have a lot to complain in the two final episode with bad weather, which that's the time they started having production problem.
Not going to comment on specific rankings but that's not going to happen.
I hope so. I like my shit unflipped.
Eureka Seven 39
Delicious, delicious football action. This episode reminds me somewhat of the Rugby episode from FMPF. Seriously awesome football playing for no good reason, hahaha. It was a good breather after the heavy stuff on the way to it. Kind of like an eye of the storm.
Also, Norb is totally the best priest ever.

Wandering Son 4
It seems to me that what they're coming up with is the best version of Romeo & Juliet ever created. Nitorin, Takatsuki, Sasa, Mako, and all the characters are great. The only one I have mixed feelings towards is Chiba. She's kind of a pain in the ass... But then when she lets her hair down it's impossible to stay mad at her. Besides, the situation she's in is the shittiest ever.
Symbolism! Also, some of the best feelings ever.
I think this is my favorite backlog season show.

The answer is neither. Go watch something good and worth your time like Dennou Coil instead.
Ah. Entering the final arc I see. This is the part where it's, NONSTOP WATCH.
Hmm I gave up on the Soul Eater anime sometime after the medusa fight at the party. Do the other deathscythes show up?

Looks like those new waves of GuP shipments are coming in nicely.

Man, I underestimated how big of an effect the stock issues were having on GnP's initial sales. Good shit. I wonder how much higher it'll go.
Good ol' Andy Sweetie. From the time before every joke on the web was dissected and documented and had all fun ripped out of it.
So you're telling me that even someone like myself has a chance of finding love at an anime con?
Robotics;Notes ;_;
It got more KEY.
Ooh, the full early list already, this hasn't happened in a while.

Just... wow.
Well I've been enjoying it (though its my first Key thing), but being recently spoiled to later bits has me going 'thats just stupid' and questioning whether I'll continue watching.
from the new world - 09
For all its faults, this is a remarkable show. It's 'mature' science-fiction in not only its intent but execution. You just don't see properties like this anymore, not just in anime but, well, just about everywhere outside of the confines of the novel. As the sales figures and ratings may attest, it might not be much appreciated by the fans, but I'm still glad this was, and is, being made.
---
I think the show is an example of good 'worldbuilding'--there's a misconception that this requires an encyclopedic assemblage of minutiae, that who-fucked-who or who-killed-whom 2k years ago is somehow important to the conception and sustenance of a world. That's faulty, though; it's the capacity to inspire, with things that aren't told but rather intimated, that resonates with the viewer. Present day motifs, religious symbols, all appropriated in the creation of a surveillance society. Echoes of what we know in contrast with the speculative, alien elements, it's pretty powerful stuff.

It's obvious which is the superior idol franchise.
(Poor Tamako Market didn't do to well
. I think Hyouka's OPs and EDs did better. I hope it sells okay.)Uh... yeah. That's my reaction as well.
Not surprised about Robotics;Notes. Over 13 episodes of nothing and carrot on the stick routine. lol Blasty Tempest, Bones am cry.

Too soon.
If you keep posting stuff like this I'll fall in love with you.
Well second half has the sister, but they spill their load in the first two episodes so you won't be missing much if you drop it after that,
It took you longer to write that bollocks about the @ than it would have taken to just add it to the name. Also you got all the cases wrong. I should be lowercase and the rest uppercase and since you can hold the shift key down the @ symbol is easy to type.
The jury is still out on whether
He was the killer or not. In my initial impressions of the final episode I came to the same conclusion, but others have pointed towards reasons why it couldn't have been him. I still say if it wasn't meant to be him they could have used another character design to avoid this ambiguity.

You say soundtracks but all I remember are the one songs.
Japanese version of the Transformers series Beast Machines. Why they released a DVD box set for it now of all times is anyone's guess.
It's obvious which is the superior idol franchise.
(Poor Tamako Market didn't do to well
Tamako Market's OP is as forgettable as they get. Not surprised there.
That's bizarre. Still, more people watching Beast Wars/Machines is a good thing in my book.
Does that actually mean bad sales for Robotics;Notes or just that the numbers aren't available?
Both. They aren't available because they're too low.
It means it was so low it was below the cutoff for things they actually list numbers for.

You should watch good Umakoshi instead, like Heartcatch, Casshern Sins, or Do-Re-Mi.
Speaking of which! Don't worry, you just started that arc.
