That....wasn't so bad. There was actually a string of coherence. Granted that every female archetype is now found in this anime, it was a fun episode.

Zeroshiki, where u AT?

It aired at 230 yesterday so I couldn't justify keeping myself awake so late. I'll catch up tonight or tomorrow.

i'd like to request evidence of wheelchair girl's appearances in this episode.

She was in but a snippet I'm afraid. :(

That sounds like quitting to me!

Edit: Am I reading too much into
Shu calling his mom by her first name? Is she not his mom or something? Wouldn't surprise me, especially with the ending. I hope this isn't a "You are already dead" type story.
 
=( I was really tired.

Inori will learn to forgive me! (Just after she learns how to string 2 sentences together)

Inori doesn't seem like the forgiving type. She gives a warning, and then she empties the clip into you if you don't comply. I guess it's simpler that way, negotiating is for pussies.

Guilty Crown 6:

So yeah, when Inori says that she doesn't want to kill you and don't come any closer, it's wise to do as she asks.

Otherwise, this episode was the action payoff for the setup in the previous episode. Not-Jeremiah-Gottwald was predictably enjoyable, generic psycho mecha pilot was generically psycho and ineffectual, Not-Asuka wheelchair-moe had about 3 total seconds of appearance time, and Gai and Shu have a manly conversation about manly things with their fists. And then giant sword-gun comes out of Inori's chest to play.

This whole show is like a Michael Bay film, it's big and dumb and doesn't give a fuck what detractors think of it. When you've got a budget quite as big as Production I.G. has, you can pretty much do whatever you want, and that's pretty much what they are doing.

though a lot of the anime is slow and poorly animated
occasionally the one piece anime is actually better than the manga
and I would go as far to say that it has some of the most memorable anime scenes of all time

Squid Girl S2 episode 7

No mini Squid Girl and the puns were somewhat lacking. It had some amusing parts here and there but all three segments were rather bland. Also, I can't help thinking how gross Squid Girl must look without the hat.

Sharks at the pool will eat your friends 08: Oh GOD that Bad end! XD This episode really laid on the Kobato fanservice early, which I dislike as there shouldn't be any at all considering she's WAY too loli.

And Sena wants to know how to trigger Kobato's flag. She clearly is a switch-hitter. Rika is still awesome, but I guess it's too early for her to hang around lots of people. Yozora is the same. I'll admit I can be a bit claustrophobic at large gatherings myself, so I can identify.

Is it not part of her body?

Need that ikuharapenis.jpg, stat. I want it to be next week already.

Throughout the episode I was thinking that the very sporadic use of music was probably being done deliberately to set the mood and boy did it work, because that piece at the end felt fantastic as a result. I said dayum.

Mawaru-Penguindrum 20: I hate to use buzzwords, but... yeah, that was just beautiful.

It's been hard, being on Team Shouma all this time. But it's been worth it.

That was easily the best flashback episode yet.
The Child Broiler is pretty fucked up. Looks like I was completely wrong about everything I predicted. Did anyone else notice what looked like Momoka's laying shoes laying at the front door of the second meeting?

isn't squid girl actually the corpse of a young girl who drowned at sea, reanimated by a parasitic squid?

that's kinda fucked up and yet still moe as hell

edit: damn only 4 episodes of penguins left ;_;

You know for a member of a stuck up enforcement club, Kate isn't that bad. The second Grace was introduced, I was expecting to hate her and the whole thing, but she's actually kind of endearing. Rachel on the other hand can go die for all I care.

Claire is still my favorite.

I was already digging this but that ending song completely won me over. My body is ready.

I'm liking how things are progressing, but

what the hell is that thing? Does she have a horrible tumor? Is she stashing footballs under her shirt? Is she pregnant? What is going on?!
 
The full version of "sky's the limit" is kind of disappointing. I should have expected that though, the longer versions of all Shoji Meguro OP songs are all disappointing. The full version of "Beauty of Destiny" is much better, mainly because of Dat Lotus Juice.

Un-Go 07: I don't even know what the fuck just happened, man.

I'm surprised that wasn't censored, but I guess since it was not a
pretty girl
it was okay.

Anime still saved, the use of music in particular this time was particularly exceptional.
They managed to completely misdirect the story away from Shoma for 3/4ths of the show and no one batted an eye despite the fact that he's the main character. Well played Ikuhara.
