If the rumors are true that it will end at 39 or whatever, then they probably aren't. No way would they get to the Chimera Ants at 39 provided they don't skip entire arcs. Even if they do, I can't imagine how it would be handled if something comparatively mild like Hisoka's intro is turned into fuckin flowers.

Let's hope so.
Still can't imagine how it'll handle the Chimera Ant arc, but maybe it will get a later timeslot or something.

There really isn't much to say about an episode like this, especially considering that plenty of people have already voiced their own thoughts on it. Yes, the action was fairly well animated with understandable choreography. Yes, there was too much dialogue.
Not a lot else to say, considering how few (plot/character related) events transpired. Which makes a nice change.

Wait, who did Homura lose to?
Regarding Penguindrum 15:
Anyone else think
Anyone else think
Momoka made their parents have a second child and transferred her fate onto Ringo? The cost of doing that would've been huge, so part of that may be why she was never found after the attacks, though to be fair, no body was ever found. I just think this is some neat speculation now.

Hey GAF, I need to watch some light hearted show or comedy, what's your recommendation ? (I'm already watching Gintama and Working' !).
Is there an AWESOME show this season ? (like Madoka one or two seasons ago).

Mikoto from Index. Don't make me say who Mikoto lost to or my head is going to fucking explode.Obsessed said:
Watch and catch up on Penguindrum.Tribes of Trusty said:
As for lighthearted (this season anyways), uh, there's Ben-to, Mashiro-iro symphony, Maken-ki, Maji de watashi ni koi shinasai, squid girl, and something else i'm probably forgetting. Though half that list is mostly harem shows.
If you're looking for general lightheartedness, Aria will calm your soul, Love Hina is fun, and I really enjoyed Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile (especially the latter because i'm a musician in that world myself). Oh also don't forget Seto no Hanayome.

and if you are hardcore then watch Denpa Onna

Watch Sket Dance if you aren't already. It's structured similarly to Gintama (though the mood whiplashes hit harder).
As for awesome stuff this season, Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero (but be wary of episode 1), Guilty Crown. Then there's some hit or miss stuff like C3, Ben-to, Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere. Lot of options.

multiple people would have died that day, and she simply limited the casualties. At the very least we know Tabuki only survived because his alarm clock didn't go off.

Fate/Zero seems to be liked by everyone.
Also if you want something action packed and fast paced I'd go for Mirai Nikki.

Did you honestly think it was going to match "wolf fist". Really?Jexhius said:
Nah, show was tight this week. Animation was great, as always, but that
final fight between the dogs and the wolves was especially good. Damn, if I didn't also strangely like the incinerator scene; also, Oshiroi GP train. God damn.

[Anne of Green Gables 29]
Oh, Anne. How can that be a sin?
This show is really getting into the habit of playing packed narration over a bunch of still clips. I think its a testament to the shows overall quality that this doesn't phase me any-more. Or perhaps I've just gotten used to it. Either way, it's a pretty lazy way to tell a lot of story quickly and cheaply.
Outside of those scenes this was a pretty great episode. Anne
is an idea that seems to, err, write itself. Which of course led to a number of great scenes and some fairly classic Marilla responses. That scene over tea with Anne pointing out the flaws in all the writers was particularly amusing.

If you're gonna reuse the transformation scene every time, might as well do it at different angles. How progressive.

Legend of Galactic Heroes - Overture to a New War
*AndHereWeGo.gif*
Haters gon' hate?
For those who aren't aware, Overture to a New War is a combination movie comprising Episodes 1 and 2 of LoGH with some extra footage.
No complaints at all. Everything is fleshed out enough for my tastes. The
, the epic
and most importantly the foundations for character development (
). I have a bit more appreciation for Golden Wings after watching this movie because it keeps Reinhard and Kiersche's motivations very clear and perhaps a bit more developed than the first 2 episodes would have led you to believe (but then again, we have an entire series for that too...)
Yes, the
but it doesn't matter. It's still done in a way where
. The music
. It sets up that all important reminder
.
The animation and music are done to the standard I expect. I was pleasantly surprised by this compilation movie. It didn't feel all that rushed and I think the usual elements of an LoGH universe are present. You get the military machine in full force, the politics, the relationships, the motivations and the results all in one package. I didn't find any real pacing issues. Not enough to bother me, anyway. I guess you can't really have any, come to think of it.
Highly recommended.
Key Question: Should you watch this over the first 2 episodes of the actual series? Absolutely yes.

Yes, the
fate of Lap is rather transparent and predictable from the get go
you can't help but feel for Lap (particularly given that if it weren't for a stubborn and frankly idiotic commander, he would have lived
during his death scene is also quite well done
for Wang that he needs to make his tactics known to prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Ben-To 03: Show of the season continues to deliver. Loved the bit with his clothes, and the end. Oh man, I wish I could wake up to that. Also, Sonic makes another appearance, this time as a poster. Man clearly has good taste (or show is sponsored by Sega?).

For my second Gundam series, Im really enjoying this one. Tone and style are great.

Tommyrod is forever creepy. I enjoyed hearing everyones reasons for going after the century soup, not naming the mysterious dude though
My creys for Commander Bruzar. Almost saved yet still valiantly died. I dislike how the Emily and Flit will most likely be canon and Yurin will be forgotten, Yurin and Flit made an excellent team in the mobile suit.

Fear still rocking the slasher smile. Her giga drill breaker isn't bad either.
Glad this didn't go back to harem antics and we're still in the middle of a horror/action arc and the tone stays dreary even outside the really heavy scenes. The fight against bitch girl is once again great.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Damn it, I'm a sucker for space fantasy shows, and this was pretty awesome. I just started watching the original Gundam and Initial D now with this I don't know how I'll be able to watch all three series. Not counting the fact that even though I finished the original HxH anime I still haven't seen the OVAs for it. Decisions, decisions. Anyways, really enjoyed the movie and surprisingly the art as well. I don't know what about the art I liked but I just really enjoyed it, it's odd. Maybe it was the hair.
