Truly, an amazing episode. One of the finest I've seen in awhile!

Hey, let's introduce the three remaining characters
including Yukimura, whose trap powers are too great for his classmates! And of course, Yozura puts a maid uniform on him. Haha. Also...Gundam porn!

The fanservice here was slightly different to the usual dumb, awkward fanservice you find in these kind of works. It was a little creepy, I mean, more so than usual.

As for the episode itself, it was pretty obvious where things were heading in terms of a certain character. As no work has really been done to establish a character, having them perform a certain action has no narrative or emotional weight. Sorry. The dialogue was really bad as wekk. Even for an anime. "She almost looks CG" indeed.

The whole 'void' conceit was used for no useful purpose either. It's like, they're taking a wholly remarkable idea and making it incredibly mundane and boring. It's really the complete opposite of 'interesting'.

Seriously.

Persona 4: The Japanimation: If all the boss battles are gonna be like this then let's do a fucking boss rush mode. That was superb: excellent animation, the new material was interesting, CHIE KICKING ARSE. Fanservice total, but with some actual substance this time around.

It's still hilarious how every comment Charlie makes is inocuous as fuck. He's so much fail at GAR. <3

The preview hints at some of the side social links. Do they really have the time for that? Maybe they have a second season in the plans.

Tenchi Muyo in Love (rewatch): This, however, doesn't hold up as well. I'm amazed this got me into Tenchi Muyo back in the day, as this movie is kind of a clusterfuck of bad direction and not-that-great animation. Plus, the music is kind of bland.
They outsourced it to Christopher Franke of Tangerine Dream.

Tenchi Muyo: Manatsu no Eve (rewatch): Better animation than TMiL, but it's one thing to watch a bad movie, and another to watch a movie in virtual fast-forward. I know this was part of a double feature, but it's hard to appreciate a movie when it moves this quickly. >>;
It does, however, have a really good soundtrack. Almost like Seikou Nagaoka was trying to prove a point.

Lost my shit @
Himari-pen using the sign to signal the Survival Strategy
. I saw it coming and still laughed for a good 5 minutes.

Really crazy episode too. Fabulous.

I thought the music for the 2nd Tenchi movie was composed by Koh Otani? (Outlaw Star and Shadow of the Colossus)

I'm still laughing at how that game was blatantly a copy of House of the Dead 4 -- right down to shaking the gun to reload -- yet the side of the cabinet still said Time Crisis, because Namco.

Oh wow, you're right. Dunno why I've had it as him all this time.

He did do the music for the OVA though.

El-Hazard: The Magnificent World (rewatch): After all these years, El-Hazard still a pretty great show. The first OVA series was great, and its animation still holds up today. ^_^ Also, still one of the most competent English dubs ever cast.

Agreed. It still blows my mind though that the voice actor for Makoto Mizuhara was also the voice for Lynn Kyle in Robotech.

Shit,
two generals down (maybe 3)
. Don't know how historically accurate this is (in terms of outcome, not events obviously) but this seems like a pretty bad situation.

Back to the comedy after a few episodes of drama is refreshing.
Bunch of background information that doesn't really answer much, we just know the link to the rich girl now.

Also more of creepy Doctor hitting on Himari. I think he plans to "steal" her away from Kanba and Shouma, since that would be a worse 'punishment' than death.

More Romeo and Juliet allegories between Ringo and Shouma.

Indeed. The anime has done a great job of making me swoon for Makoto.

imas 17: It figures that this episode would be so incredibly heteronormative, including the actual resolution itself. But then again, gimmick characters almost never live up to their gimmick I suppose. I guess a troll could say that this episode did more with gender than Wandering Son did in 11 episodes though.

Since the show insists on pretending that Takane doesn't exist I suppose you can put me on Team Makoto.

but best team is Team Chihaya

Squirting in Porn... Real/Fake?

I'm the only one who read this thread title as "Squiding in Porn..."? It's insane! Too mich Squid Girl in the last two months.

So how about that Last Exile 2? Awful and a disservice to the original like we expected?
Absolutely not in any way, no. It's very good, and very similar in tone and style to the original series. Other than the cast, the biggest difference so far is that Last Exile Fam gets serious very quickly -- by episode 2, very serious stuff is going on. I think the original series had a bit more time until the situation got this bad...

Still though, it's great, certainly one of the season's best.

Best episode so far. As a huge fan of the game, I've enjoyed each episode, but the latest episode was a noticeable improvement.

Music implementation was a lot better, and there were new Meguro original tracks in the mix. The battle scenes were great to watch and I love how they're portrayed compared to the game.

The extra scenes for Yukiko was also a nice touch.

Looking forward to the next episode, as it looks to be focusing on the social elements!

Watching anime get saved every week is just too good to be true. We only have a few more characters that have yet to be elaborated on now.

Also, why/how was the grandfather possessing Mario? I mean, he wasn't wearing the hat so it was something else.

HAREM ASSEMBLE! So we have the
Tsundere, the loli, the rich bitch, perverted fujoshi, and the confused trap(?). All we're missing now is the brocon sister- Oh wait, thats next episode!
Still funny as hell.
