Maken-Ki 5 - In this episode, the MC and one of the other girls from the committee are trying to find someone who's been attacking students randomly, not in duels. Meanwhile, his childhood friend/haremite Haruka is mad at the MC because the tsun girl kissed him last episode, so (while of course denying to herself that she likes him) she does things like make him a lunch of food he hates and then take it away when he complains, act annoyed to him, tell him she's not his sister (because as childhood friends they call eachother siblings often), etc. Oh, and the other girl, the one that the MC is with this episode, dislikes him, but likes his Haruka.
Anyway, they get attacked by the girl responsible for the attacks, and the MC is unable to do anything, while the other girl tries to fight, but wasn't doing well. To the rescue, with some help from the girl with the "comic star" power, Haruka (his childhood friend) shows up just in time. Apparently she has the strongest Maken at the school, and does indeed have a lot of power... I assume that the MC's power is greater, though, when he can use it, because of his gender and the series' sexism. Or at least, I'm sure it will eventually be greater.
But yeah, she easily defeats the culprit. The end, pretty much. So yeah, this episode was terrible as usual, and the MC was as always horribly annoying.

The Maburaho anime was amusing, but it had no ending at all, and was based off of an ongoing light novel series too, so there's a LOT more material there than got into the anime...cosmicblizzard said:
There's a male Madoka too? ... I guess male Haruhi worked alright, so why not Madoka too... they're not actually better than the female versions though I think. Though the idea of it being Homura with a reverse harem sounds amusing...Dresden said:I'm fond of Mandoka.
Geneijin said:
Yeah I agree, sorry if that was worded weirdly, heh.
A shame Tadakatsu is gone though, but at least the daughter doesn't seem so bad.
Yeah, I think its a better discussion on good/bad intent rather than good guy/bad guy. I agree with your assessment on it. No amount of good that comes from it will overlook the fact it was a pretty overall evil action.
I had assumed the end of History wasn't known to the average person but you may be right; I don't think it has been stated one way or the other for them or I've just forgotten it being mentioned. Still, his actions are sparking a world war essentially so, yeah, clearly evil action. Ends do not justify the means sort of thing.
Horizon is who I figure for the Motonobu "replacement", though its a little iffy with her proposed execution. And I agree that Musashi will be the "replacement", but I'm just wondering more as a "will they need to?" kind of thing. I'm assuming yes so far since nothing really seems to indicate otherwise yet.
Perhaps the better question is more about how much will "history reenactment" matter still.

Bakuman 2 ep 6
Aw poor Saiko but I enjoyed the episode, pretty emotional. Yuujiro is kind of underrated. I like how Eiji keeps getting screen time, I hope we get an Eiji orientated episode or even a subplot with him for that matter.

That's why you don't buy a cursed blade, especially without listening to the old man selling it to you.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Detective Conan 01-07 (rewatch): It's pretty amazing how much has changed in this show over the last 15 years. The art style looks very rough, but the music is much better (I know they still occasionally reuse themes, but not nearly as much as I'd like. Old Conan music is vastly superior to new Conan music). All and all, the older episode have more charm in my opinion, and a lot of that is in the music. It gave it a much more "fun" feeling.
The Ran x Shinichi/Conan relationship was also at it's absolute cutest in these early episodes. I remember the first time I watched episode 07, as Ran came THIS close to outing Conan as Shinichi, only to be fooled by the Professor using the voice-changing bow tie. I still get all moe'ed up watching episode 07 to this day. Squeeeeeeee.
I still have a cel painting I bought of Detective Conan around here somewhere, I should look for it.
EDIT: Found it! ^_^

Seeing Hijikata like this is distressing.

I'm oh-so-torn on Detective Conan. I still love the mysteries and trying to solve them but, at the same time, I so want a resolution just because how much I love the Ran x Shinichi relationship and want to see it bear fruit.
I also need to find the time to just re-watch all of Detective Conan :|

scy said:
True enough, same reason I'd like it to end. I want Conan to turn back into Shinichi and fucking marry Ran already. It only took 621 TV episodes for Shinichi to finally fucking tell Ran he likes her! I mean, goddamn son!
RurouniZel said:
Man I remember watching this. I saw the dub though, which I prefer immensely to the original voices. It just bothered me that the cases almost always dealt with murders and not other types of crimes. I mean it's not like they can show rape but you know, still wish there was some variety.

Ezalc said:
Probably because murders are the easiest to write elaborate traps for. I do remember a few random ones that dealt with kidnapping, episode 03 is a suicide, some deal with money deals, etc. But yeah, by and large it's murder. Whereever Conan and Kogoro go, steer clear! You're likely to get murdered!
