Thank god I bailed out before the Persona talk.
Might watch Free! for the teacher.

Mr. Corvo's confusion is understandable. Code Geass R2 will do a lot of damage to even the healthiest mind, and it takes some time to work its way out of one's system. That, and Code Geass's animation character designs (as opposed to concepts) are by Kimura, who is also the character designer on Godannar. In time, with proper treatment, he shall once again be able to determine the stylistic elements that are the trademarks of each.

Futari wa Precure 42-44
In Episode 42, the NagisaxHonoka shippers swoon as Honoka gets spirited away and Nagisa has to come to her rescue like a knight inshining frilly armour.
Then to make up for it, Nagisa spends the whole of the following two episodes swooning over Fujimura. First of all, she gets all melancholic because one of her random friends has fallen for Fujimura too, and is much more proactive about it than Nagisa is. Thankfully,
. Good job, Fuji-P! Also, Fujimura is really sweet when he sees Nagisa all depressed, and lends her his scarf to cheer her up. Double good job, Fuji-P! Finally, he invites Nagisa to make a snowman together and (after an impromptu Precure battle, of course) shares a romantic Christmassy moment with her outside in the snow. Super good job, Fuji-P!
Meanwhile on the villainous side of things, everyone's favourite(?) antagonists are having rebellious thoughts about using the Prism Stones for themselves instead of their King. That's all very well, guys, but you might want to, you know, actually get your hands on the Stones' power first. Considering you found out where it was hidden in Episode 41, you haven't been making much of an effort to capture Porun so far. I don't think you even mentioned the little guy when you attacked in Episodes 42 and 43, and your attempts to snatch him in Episode 44 were frankly unimpressive. Grade D-, must try harder.

Yeah I've been reading the manga, I've only fallen behind on it recently.
I've seen a few of the OVAs. I remember the one where Haruna turned into a cat at least.

I sure hope he gets better, but I don't think he's ever going to fully recover from the tomatoes.
He already broken from tomatoes, orange is overkill at this point.
seriously wtf with that Big O ending
I'll cut you.

Oh right, I totally forgot that I meant to write out a more detailed impression of the series too. Really have to get around to that.
I don't think it's fair to rate one over the other. To me the film is dependent on you being familiar with the series to get the most out of it. It's like a good remix, knowing the original and seeing the interesting differences are half the point. Just like how some of the best episodes were the ones that broke the patterns that were set up the movie broke the patterns set up throughout the whole show.

If you like poorly drawn stick figures with dodge balls attached to their chest, more power to you.

Singing time episode! Antagonists continue to be pathetic. Not only are they not trying to steal Porun, they're not even presenting a challenge any more. This episode's fight was basically a time trial run, and the Cures beat up both the bad guys (we're not talking Zakenna mooks either, this is two out of the three main villains!) and still made it back to the stage in time for their solo.
It looks like next episode the villains are going to actually do something competent, though. Let's see how that goes!

And i love it

The DQIX meltdown was multifaceted and hilarious. nothing will ever top that.
Yes, it really is. One of my definite favorites!
For better or worse YOU JUST GOT KEYED! Whether you enjoy this phenomenon or not is up to you.
I like the ano Hana version much more, but both versions are very pretty.
The show overall I liked well enough, since I did buy the NISA boxset of it, but it had plenty of issues straying off the story with all kinds of weird thing and losing focus. but it came back together at the end. For me, this show was about the ending more than anything, and it was a good one.
Because modding forums is a thankless tiresome and tedious job. Ive done it before. Its not worth it. But it has to be done by somebody.
To-LoveRuYuri Darkness - 04
Welp, off to find YamixMikan. This episode was shipping them so hard. Very good!doujins
That scene wherecrazy psycho assassin girl controlled Mikan to suck on Yami's boobs. Perfection.
I dont like all the fanservice prevalent in TLR (or any anime that goes to this level of it) but the character designs are spot on. these girls are cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute. The manga ka clearly knew exactly what they were doing.
All this over The Last of Us? why? Its like Uncharted, except its not Uncharted, which is why Im not buying it. The Uncharted characters made that game. This looks like a clone of it with less memorable characters and worse art.
Games trying to be film is the main reason why I ditched most of gaming. Games are not film. They should stop trying to be what they arent and focus on the strengths.
This is why development costs are through the roof.

sorry. Had a moment.
Clamp's art is definitely better.
You should be the last person to talk about dodge ball breasts.

I'm not talking dodge ball sized breasts, I'm talking just dodge balls.

David Cage am cry.
Japan Expo commences in a month (July, 4) and some confirmations of assistance make it look even more interesting; Savin Yeatman-Eiffel will bring The 2 QueenS to the event at a special panel, while Shōji Kawamori (accompanied by Thomas Romain, who took advantage of the opportunity) will be there as a guest of honor for several signing sessions and such.
The 'fondue bacchanalia' they make on Astérix in Switzerland always made me hungry, and it can't get more messy than that at the end!
Happy Birthday, Hitokage!
Waiting for someone to use Top Secret! levels of extreme elasticity.

Just keep Rito as Riko for the remaining episodes. Please. PLEASE.
Riko is quite popular now she will reappear more ! REJOICE !
Oh we ALL remember that OVA!
Clamp art is pretty gorgeous stuff. Some of the Chi artworks are a good example. They do very elegant and pleasing work.
And then they turn it into anime form that looks like the robots in Laputa.

Well it's the final stretch, so that will happen!
Futari wa Precure 46
Oh noes, the bad guys stole the Prism Stones' power from Porun! I would never have guessed such a shocking twist could occur! Whatever will happen next?!
Apparently what will happen next is the Cures setting out with looks of determination to face their final battle. Three episodes left to defeat evil once and for all! Go beat up those useless villains, Nagisa and Sidekick!

Sadly Sidekick will probably stay there for the rest of Honoka's existence.

I think he is enjoying uta no prince sama & carneval just fine.
My roommate said the pink haired dead fish eyes girl in Uta no prince sama is adorable and I would like her.

If I were actually mean, I'd be gender swapping the guys.
Which really wouldn't be that hard.
What is the plot behind this show? Is it like the rest of TLRU or is it pretty much just sexual fanservice and yuri? (not that TLRU was much more than that either a lot of itmes)
Hellsing321

Maybe the plot is actually all the guys get sex reassignment surgery at the end. Free is referring to being free from heteronormative conventions on gender!
Crash Station

It's pretty much a more fanservice-heavy version of original TLR, but with somewhat of a plot revolving around Yami's history and a potential threat from people related to her. Not that the anime really does anything major with it.

She's voiced by Miyukichi so you probably would.

GOD DAMMIT!!!
Hm? That seems like a fairly tautological statement, considering Sidekick and Honoka are one and the same.
Futari wa Precure 47
The bad guys absorb the power of the Prism Stones into themselves! It gives them the powers of...
glowing and fighting a bit better
Of course, the King of Standing In The Distance Looking Threatening isn't particularly impressed by this betrayalton, so he
summons everyone to the DotsukuZone to have a few words with them
"I guess I'll eat you then."
King of Standing In The Distance Looking Threatening While Slowly Sucking Stuff Up With Powerful Winds
Anyway, bad guys respond to this by
fusing into some kind of metal man thing
Kiriya! He's baaaaaaack! And not dead. Well, we sort of knew that since he showed up briefly in the Christmassy episode. But still nice to see him in a more tangible form.
