The return of Dante and Captain! The first half was funny but the second half was hi-fucking-larious. Captain is definitely waifu material.

I barely speak the moon language, but I couldn't help myself. My conclusion is that anime is saved for another week, although
Shouma being in the next room is kind of an easy out, no?
. If my moon isn't as bad as I think it is,
Yuri's dad chiseled on her because she was ugly? Looked too much like the mom? Couldn't quite figure out if she was molested. In any case, it kind of explains the crazy.
I guess
he was going to make Tokyo Tower into the shape of a man, but it never happened because he uhh...died? I guess? Did Momoka kill him? Or did he create the man shaped tower, but it fell, killing him, and was replaced with Tokyo Tower?

I can't even begin to make out what happened with
Sanetoshi and Himari/Kanba. I take it that he gave Double-H the mufflers, but it seemed kind of ambiguous whether Himari was the special friend they were thanking, or Sanetoshi
. The
fight between Jury-Senpai and Yuri was kind of awesome, with a ping-pong racket, and Esmerelda giving her a hand

I'm still really really
bothered at how well Ringo was taking the potential rape. What drug makes you lucid enough to talk and enjoy it, yet not lucid enough to go "wait a minute, what the fuck?". How is Yuri planning to hide this from Tabuki?

All things considered, a very good episode. Her
virginity was saved from the uhh...fingers? I guess? Of evil.

Oh, and as always, being
Shouma is pain. Worst attempt to thwart a rape ever

Perfect!

Anyhoo...

Swimming lessons won't make you friends with ero game characters 3: Sena continues her troubles telling the difference between reality and fiction, Yozora calls her tons of obscene names, and Kodaka has a blond goth-loli imouto. Sena asks Kodaka to teach her to swim, and is apparently A-OK being called "Meat". Weeeeeeeeeeird.

Oh, and this episode made it 100% clear that
Kodaka and Yozora were already friends as children, but were separated (he said they moved earlier in the episode). And she obviously remembers him, but he doesn't remember her because he remembers his former friend being a boy, not a girl. It does address something that had bothered me since episode 01, which went "For someone who has trouble making friends, she had no issue whatsoever getting friendly with Kodaka, going straight to first-name terms with him,"

More characters next episode.

I started watching the dub of the original Gundam anime. I can see why people think Char is so awesome, though I didn't expect them to unmask him so soon. Makes it seem like him wearing that mask is pretty pointless.

Note, I've only watched G and 00 Gundam series completely, so I'm guessing it's part of the plot as to why Char is always wearing that mask.

Yeah, it's important to the plot. He only revealed himself to one person anyway.

Man that eroge bit was pretty killer, good stuff. Also tits and naked imoutos.

I do hate these "we were once friends but I don't remember you anymore" storylines, and they are probably going to drag that out the whole season too. Hopefully I'm wrong and its dealt with soon.

This show somehow has the right balance of funny and trashiness and I'll be damned if I'm not enjoying it so far.

Wonder if I should check out the manga now or wait until this is over.

And there's the only plot point I give a damn about in the series. Read ahead in the manga a bit and nothing else seems worth it so far.

C3 - Cubed X Cursed x Curious 03: After the initial surprise it hits on you that these characters have only known each other for like one episode and a half. All of the melodrama comes out as forced and annoying because of that. It doesn't help that the dialogue is brain-fuckingly bad.

Show sucks, novelty wore off. Dropped.

Well I read the first couple chapters of the manga prior to the show airing. It's pretty cool, but I find the anime more enjoyable really.

I couldn't help myself. I had to know what happens. If you can resist, it's worth waiting, because there is a
ton of dialogue, and it's very complex at times

The "fight" scenes suffer from the kind of "stunted/missing frames" thing you'd expect from older anime (i.e. it's not fluid) but there weren't really enough of them to make this offensive.
Just because people keep assigning animation quality to into "old" and "new" doesn't actually make it true.

Must have been before my time here then. At least I know I'm doing the right thing!

This is true. Plenty of newer anime does what I describe as well. My bad.

Wasn't Persona 4 doomed from almost the get go? I remember reading somewhere people just kept abandoning the project after like episode 1-2. People actually related to the game.

Watching it with my limited Japanese, all I know is
I'm going to have nightmares about that chisel.

Yup. I can speak it pretty well, but even I'm not quite sure what
the fuck he was doing with that chisel. I also have no idea if she was molested, or what the hell was going on there. All I know is that he was doing it because she was ugly. Either because she looked like her mother, or because she didn't look enough like her mother. I can't decide.

Good in the "shit's so bad it's fun" category. Right now it's just "shit's so bad it's boring" tier.

Less wordy-talky and more booby-kaboomy would have made Horizon worth the bother.
 
I watched the two episodes of Guilty Crown. Tempted by it's nice art and the desire of a new Code Geass. What I got was a show that is on acid. It's like the shows pacing is cranked up to 11, with no time to waste on coherent story telling. I ask myself "what the fuck am I watching?". And this is not a good WTF.

At least wheelchair chick has nice boobs and I like the random shots of catgirls ass. But seriously wtf is this show?

That said I also watched the first two episodes of Gundam Ages and it's surprisingly decent.
 
Un-go 2
The best thing about this show is the ED. The mysteries have both been pretty boring but at least this one had a little bit of intrigue before the reveal.

Guilty Crown 2
Don't really know what is supposed make this show stand out from other mecha fanservice trashy shows. Is it the Supercell soundtrack? Comparisons to Geass aren't doing it any favors either since Geass was way more entertaining in its first two episodes than this has been. I'll stick with it but its not doing anything for me at this point.

Last Exile Fam 01:

Honestly I expected a whole lot worse. Given GONZO's track record in about oh the last 5 years or so there really wasn't a chance in hell this show should be any good.

The series had some nice throwbacks to the first season but it was definitely trying to stand on its own as its own series. It's definitely an interesting take on a sequel as it feels completely stand alone (for now. I'd imagine there's a good chance other certain characters from the first season will show up.)

Nearly the entire cast being female and the Range Murata designs are a plus. There is loads and loads of fanservice in this series, which isn't really surprising.

The CGI is really poor in this first episode and I mean really bad. The direction is really choppy, they really tried to cram a ton into this episode and as a result it feels disjointed at times.

But it's still got that same Last Exile feel to it that I enjoyed from the original. Probably for the first time since about 2006 or so there is a GONZO series I am actually looking forward to checking a 2nd episode of.

Haganai 3 - Pretty much as expected. Which I don't know is a good or bad thing at this point. Still, this kicks off the start of the storyline that is
Kodaka stuck between the two girls; one stuck in the past, one looking to the future. I do wonder, though, if Sena's popularity will make her take over Yozora's role as the (probable) "winner" of the love triangle; it's hard to take Yozora seriously as a candidate with her character as it is, honestly. Plus, Sena has a fang. I'm weak for fang so I must root for her.

Anyway, I'm a little surprised the eroge scene was left in basically as is. Oh boobsmith. Anyway, listening to Yozora is a lot harsher than I read it in the LN and manga; I mean, it's essentially the same words but hearing it is different, I guess.

And Kobato is kind of adorable, in that utterly ridiculous kind of way.

Also, boobs. Dear lord.

Next episode preview makes it seem like
the entire rest of the cast is going to be introduced? Sheesh...

Dynedom said:
So I guess it's gonna be just me and Zero holding down the GC fort till the end. =(

I still have faith in Guilty Crown; first episode was pretty good, though I haven't gotten around to the apparent disapproval that the second has generated. It seems interesting and, damn it, I'll stick with it if only for supercell tracks if I have to.

Tell you what, I'll let you know when something finally happens. At the rate it's going, I'm guessing Episode 15, lol.

This is true. I mean, but take a summer movie that was well received like 300. The story makes no sense whatsoever and the characters are all morons. What made it great was that it did its pandering really well. It remains to be seen if Guilty Crown will but its been entertaining so far. Sometimes you need to shut your brain down and enjoy, man :p
300 is amazing because it's so homoerotic. Like Top Gun. If GC was also full of homolust masquerading as heterosexual male bonding, I would like it much more.

I haven't talked about it but I really dig the vocal tracks in Guilty Crown. They've all been surprisingly good.

So you're saying you loved Code Geass? That one had "male bonding" and then some!

Also, do my eyes deceive or have you started a meme with the :saber thing?

Actually the soundtrack was pretty decent. But yeah at least with Geass I felt I could follow it and there was at first an attempt at actual coherent story telling. No so with freaking Guilty Crown. But still, ass giggle is what I like in my anime.

Naw, because they still had enough male lust to ruin it. Especially since the dude wanted to bang his sister.
